For Ye Qingchen.

Destroying the Celestial Essence Sword Sect was just the beginning.

Since all eight major sects were involved in this, Ye Qingchen would absolutely not let them escape unscathed.

"Perfect!"

"We will settle all past grievances, right here and now!"

Ye Qingchen took a step forward and disappeared from the great hall.

Just after he left.

Some guards heard the commotion and hurried to the hall.

When they saw the devastation of the hall, the corpses strewn about, and the Sect Leader dead with eyes wide open, those guards instantly turned ashen.

"Heavens! Heavens! Sect Leader... this..."

Then.

A piercing cry spread throughout the whole Celestial Essence Sword Sect: "Something terrible has happened! The Sect Leader is dead, all the Elders are dead... What are we going to do now!"

The tragic cries of the disciples of the Celestial Essence Sword Sect were no longer heard by Ye Qingchen.

At that moment.

He had already turned into a streak of light, heading toward the next destination.

Because it was about killing.

At this moment, Ye Qingchen did not bother to hide his presence at all, but flew openly and boldly across the sky. The aura he unintentionally released was enough to shake people to their core.

"What's going on?"

"Why is there such a terrifying aura?"

"Could it be a senior passing through Celestial Peak Country?"

For a moment.

Countless powerhouses of the Profound Pill Realm felt this aura and prostrated themselves trembling.

Having been baptized by repeated slaughters.

Even though Ye Qingchen was only at the Profound Core Ninth Heaven, his aura was already almost comparable to a Celestial Saint powerhouse, possibly even stronger. Now returning to the Cyan Continent, he was like a shark crashing into a pond, utterly unrestrained to the extreme!

"Xingluo Sect!"

"Shifang Sword Sect!"

"Celestial Secret Sect!"

"Primordial Sect!"

...

One sect after another quickly emerged from Ye Qingchen's mind.

He originally had past grievances with the eight major sects.

Now.

They took advantage of the absence of him and Qin Wentian, trying to exterminate Taotian Palace.

"In that case!"

"We shall settle all new and old scores together!"

A chilling light flickered in Ye Qingchen's eyes.

To him.

If you dare to harm Taotian Palace, even if I don't slaughter your entire sect, at least your sect's high-ranking members must all be killed, leaving none alive!

At the same time.

Xingluo Sect.

Great Hall.

At this moment, the many high-ranking members were gathered in the hall.

Sect Leader Liu Jianming sat in the principal seat, his brows furrowed as if he was faced with a dilemma.

"Sect Leader, what happened nearby that was so urgent to summon all of us here?" an elder with white hair and a long centipede-patterned robe asked with a hint of dissatisfaction.

He had been in seclusion, preparing to break through the Profound Pill Fifth Heaven, only to be forcibly called out by Liu Jianming.

"Elders, Hall Master!"

Liu Jianming squinted his eyes and said:

"Something big has happened! I just received a secret report that Ye Qingchen is back!"

"What?"

Upon hearing this.

Everyone in the great hall furrowed their brows.

"So what if he's back?" the Great Elder snorted coldly and said, "Now that the alliance of our eight major sects is established, not to mention him, even if Qin Wentian returns, it is of no use!"

"Indeed, now that the situation is set, even immortals cannot save Taotian Palace," the Second Elder nodded repeatedly, seemingly dissatisfied with Liu Jianming's alarm: "Even if Ye Qingchen returns, it's just throwing bricks against a wall!"

The others also appeared indifferent.

Evidently.

They didn't take the matter seriously.

However.

Liu Jianming sighed heavily and said with extreme gravity:

"If it were only that, I wouldn't be worried. But I just received a secret report that all the high-ranking members of the Celestial Essence Sword Sect have been slaughtered, not a single one left alive. I suspect this was done by Ye Qingchen!"

"Impossible!"

After he said that.

Everyone present instinctively cried out.

The Great Elder snorted in disbelief and said:

"Absolutely impossible! How could that kid Ye Qingchen have such strength? To wipe out the entire high-ranking members of the Celestial Essence Sword Sect? Even if it was him, so what? Would he dare come to our Xingluo Sect?"

Others nodded repeatedly.

However.

At that moment.

A cold voice suddenly echoed from above:

"So you're all here, saving me the trouble of finding each one of you!"

"Swoosh!"

Before anyone could react.

They saw.

A figure descended heavily from the sky, landing outside the great hall.

At that instant.

Sword light flashed, covering the entire great hall.

"Impossible!"

The Great Elder fell to the ground with a thud.

He only saw.

The one who acted was a young man.

That young man was none other than Ye Qingchen!

Then.

This thought completely vanished from his mind.

Shifang Sword Sect.

The sect's high-ranking members received the news and were gathering the sect's power to set up a sword array to resist the enemy. But as a flash of sword light flickered, before many disciples could respond, the heads of the sect's high-ranking members were already rolling, blood gushing.

Celestial Extreme Sect.

Upon receiving the news, they were so frightened they almost lost their souls, not daring to stay put any longer. They disguised themselves, attempting to escape Celestial Peak Country. Yet before stepping outside the sect, they were completely slaughtered.

Profound Celestial Sect!

Primordial Sect!

...

Ye Qingchen swept past at a swift pace.

Passing through the eight major sects, he showed no mercy.

He did not target ordinary disciples, but for anyone at the Elder level and above, he spared no one.

Passing through all eight major sects was just a matter of half an hour.

"Ding!"

A sword fell on the Flying Tiger Sect, and more than ten heads rolled. Ye Qingchen slowly retracted his right hand, his face expressionless, indifferent.

Then.

His gaze turned east.

"Now, only this one is left!"

"True Martial Sect!"

Ye Qingchen snorted coldly, a chill flashing in his eyes.

The eight major sects are all opportunists.

If it weren't for the True Martial Sect backing them.

How would they dare to defy the world and attack Taotian Palace where Kong Shun was stationed? True Martial Sect even deployed a Vice Sect Leader to the front lines to deal with Taotian Palace.

...

At that moment.

East of the Grand River.

The people of True Martial Sect gathered together.

Leading them was a man in white battle attire, his aura calm, eyes shimmering with sharpness, evidently a powerhouse in the Half-Step Celestial Saint stage.

And he.

Was none other than the Vice Sect Leader of True Martial Sect, Wu Zongsheng!

"Vice Sect Leader, just three days left, and it will be the day Taotian Palace is exterminated!"

In the hall.

An elder spoke with a face full of smugness.

"Exterminating Taotian Palace is just the first step for our True Martial Sect!" Wu Zongsheng smiled faintly, "As long as we can unify the eight major sects and make them serve our purpose, our True Martial Sect will become the spearhead sweeping across the Cyan Continent!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's spirits soared.

True Martial Sect, as the strongest sect on Cyan Continent, was like a dragon stranded in shallow water, confined to Daqian Country. Every generation of True Martial Sect leaders set expanding the sect as their primary goal.

Now.

True Martial Sect finally took this step, and seeing that this step is almost completed, how could they not be delighted?

If they could consolidate the power of Celestial Peak Country, True Martial Sect could gradually devour other sects, spreading True Martial Sect's legacy across the Cyan Continent!

"It seems that in my lifetime, I can finally witness True Martial Sect sweep across Cyan Continent!"

As an Elder stroked his long beard, laughing proudly.

Suddenly.

A voice abruptly came:

"I don't know if you'll have the chance to witness True Martial Sect sweep across Cyan Continent in your lifetime, but I believe you will likely witness the fall of True Martial Sect!"
