Ssssss!

For a moment, the air in Thousand Cloud Mountain was filled with the sound of gasping.

Immediately, the gaze towards Ye Qingchen turned increasingly terrified and shocked.

Originally.

They believed that with the two village chiefs taking action, victory was assured, and Ye Qingchen could be easily annihilated. Especially with the formidable sweep of the True Qi Mad Dragon, it rolled forth with an energy powerful enough to swallow the sky, devouring everything in its path.

Yet unexpectedly, Ye Qingchen made a move, not only crushing the True Qi Mad Dragon but even eliminating the second-in-command and severely injuring the chief!

This level of strength is simply beyond ordinary imagination!

"This..."

The bustling cheers abruptly came to a halt.

Everyone stared incredulously towards the sky, looking at the figure in the sky.

Ye Qingchen was seen slowly retracting his right hand, firmly gazing at Sikong Wuhen.

Sikong Wuhen's eyes were filled with terror; although he had long heard of Ye Qingchen's might, it was only after this firsthand experience did he comprehend the horror of his opponent!

In that instant.

An unprecedented sense of crisis surged violently in his heart.

Facing Ye Qingchen's gaze, Sikong Wuhen realized that his life's greatest crisis might be at this very moment.

"Young Master Ye, hold your hand, listen to me!"

Sikong Wuhen, indeed a formidable wily figure, knew when to bend and stretch. Observing Ye Qingchen walking towards him, he hurriedly shouted in a loud voice:

"This time, it was my mistake, I shouldn't have targeted those villages. But do you know who orchestrated all of this behind the scenes?"

Ye Qingchen stood still, but the glint in his eyes seemed to slightly retract.

Sikong Wuhen was mildly pleased at this sign and quickly continued, "Backing me, is the Western Domain's Celestial God Sect! The Celestial God Sect is divided into: Heaven, Earth, Wind, Fire, Mountain... eight divisions. And the one who has come to the Eastern Domain this time is the Thunder Department Celestial God!"

"I fear you haven't seen those Thunder Department Celestial Gods, have you? Their martial arts divine techniques are absolutely unimaginable, especially the Master of the Thunder Department, Lei Ming, who is the Strongest Celestial Saint."

"We are just following orders! Even if you kill me, it serves no purpose; conversely, it will only offend the Celestial God Sect! If you retreat now, I can pretend this incident never happened!"

Ye Qingchen's eyes lowered, "Is that so?"

"Of course!" Sikong Wuhen nodded repeatedly, "Otherwise, if they find out you've killed me, they definitely won't let it go."

Sikong Wuhen was filled with raging hatred inside, yet he managed to conceal his resentment on his face. He intended to report to the Celestial God Sect after surviving this ordeal. Given the strength of the Celestial God Sect, annihilating Ye Qingchen would be a simple task.

Daring to storm his Mad Saber Stronghold must surely pay with blood!

But he never thought.

Ye Qingchen slowly raised his head, looking over with a faint smile: "So what if you are following orders? I came to Mad Saber Stronghold today specifically to kill lackeys like you! After I finish you off, naturally I will go on to slay those monks of the Celestial God Sect!"

With that said.

Ye Qingchen directly formed a sword with his hand and suddenly slashed downward.

"You dare!"

Sikong Wuhen's eyes were filled with terror.

He never expected Ye Qingchen to completely ignore his words and make a move directly. He gritted his teeth and hurriedly retreated, exploding with a swathe of boiling True Qi from his body, yet all this was of no avail.

A dazzling sword light suddenly swept down, enveloping him!

"No!"

A shrill scream echoed.

Under numerous astonished gazes, Sikong Wuhen was directly split in two by this sword, blood splattering across the sky.

Even.

The residual power of this sword didn't subside, crashing onto Mad Saber Stronghold, tearing it open forcefully!

Boom!

Seeing the demise of the Great Village Chief and the entire stronghold being cleft, all the bandits in the village fled in panic.

They never thought.

This young man truly killed their three village chiefs.

"Thunder Department Celestial God? Hmph! You are nothing but a group of evil spirits!"

Recalling Sikong Wuhen's earlier words.

Ye Qingchen's eyes turned cold.

This group of monks, with such deeds, how do they resemble Celestial Gods? They are no different from evil spirits! But what of Celestial Gods, Ye Qingchen was already determined to slaughter them all.

Then, Ye Qingchen directly entered the stronghold, with three village chiefs fallen, most bandits had fled far away, though a few remained resisting.

He found those imprisoned women and released them, then set the entire Mad Saber Stronghold ablaze.

After all.

In his view, such an evil stronghold simply had no value in continuing to exist!

After doing all this, Ye Qingchen continued deeper.

All along the way, corpses littered the ground.

Clearly.

Apart from Mad Saber Stronghold, there were other forces allied with the Celestial God Sect.

Facing such forces, Ye Qingchen showed no mercy, directly exterminating them.

Meanwhile.

He also learned about the circumstances of Tongxuan Continent while pursuing.

A monk named Ci Yuan stayed in Tongxuan Continent.

Celestial Saint Fourth Layer!

Since arriving in Tongxuan Continent, he had been challenging major clans and families, then swiftly subjugating groups like Mad Saber Stronghold with thunderous force, conquering the entire Tongxuan Continent for himself.

According to the leader of Fenghuo Stronghold whom he killed.

Currently, Ci Yuan was in the Desert Spirit Spring of Tongxuan Continent.

The Desert Spirit Spring, a spectacle within the desert region of Tongxuan Continent, a large, mirror-like lake. It appeared extraordinarily spectacular, but hidden dangers lurked within, no one had ever set foot there.

"That is the location of the Desert Spirit Spring!"

Ye Qingchen gazed from afar.

He saw.

Within the desert, a vast oasis appeared. The oasis was teeming with people.

Immediately.

Ye Qingchen headed directly towards the Desert Spirit Spring.

This Desert Spirit Spring sat within a valley.

Inside the valley basin, it was like spring all year round, flowers blooming in abundance. The surrounding area was steep mountains, a strategic easy-to-defend spot already encircled by Ci Yuan's people.

"Why must we of the Yin Ghost Sect stand outside while those of the Netherworld Sect and Bailuo Sect get to enter the valley?" Outside the valley, a disciple named Lu Yong from the Yin Ghost Sect was complaining to others.

"It's because our Yin Ghost Sect lacks a Celestial Saint powerhouse!" another slightly older disciple sighed, "Otherwise, we could also see what treasures are hidden within the Desert Spirit Spring! Alas, we still have to guard the gate!"

Lu Yong sneered upon hearing this and said, "With Lord Ci Yuan here, who dares blind themselves enough to intrude?"

Ci Yuan leveraged his thunderous might, integrating the forces of Tongxuan Continent; their Yin Ghost Sect was among the first to align, once witnessing Ci Yuan's actions firsthand, his stance was heaven-shattering, even flattening mountains.

In a mere seven days, Ci Yuan's reputation had swept over the entire Tongxuan Continent, and many people couldn't avoid him fast enough, let alone dare seeking death on their own accord.

Others also nodded repeatedly, not believing anyone would dare intrude upon this place.

Suddenly, a low voice called out.

They saw.

From afar, a figure was approaching them.

That figure, seen from afar, appeared to be a youth, with hands clasped behind his back, walking through the sky. Each step seemed exceedingly slow, but after each step, he was dozens of zhang away.

Only a few blinks later, he was already before the crowd.

Lu Yong furrowed his brow, stepping forward and bellowed:

"Get lost!"

"This is a domain of the Yin Ghost Sect, those who wish not to die better leave quickly!"

Almost instantly.

Seven or eight eerie cultivators stepped forward.

Their eyes gleamed with green light, an aura surging around them, exuding a murderous intent waiting for a pretext to strike.

"I've come to kill!"

Ye Qingchen lifted his head, displaying a bright and radiant smile.
