Although Feng Tianyou from the Spirit Ruins Sect primarily wanted to vent for Huang Qinglan and gain her favor, at this moment, he didn't mention anything about Huang Qinglan.

After all, the ultimate outcome was to kill Ye Chen, which would not only win Huang Qinglan's favor but also connect with Zhou Chengyun and Zhou Chengqian, two powerful connections.

Prince Yong, Zhou Chengyun, wasn't really significant.

The Spirit Ruins Sect is a top sect within the Great Zhou Dynasty Sect Alliance, possessing formidable strength.

But Zhou Chengyun's sixth brother, who is the Sixth Prince Zhou Chengqian of the current Great Zhou Dynasty, is the most gifted prodigy in the royal family since the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

If not for Hua Qianxue.

Zhou Chengqian would have been the most dazzling prodigy since the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

According to some insider information obtained by Feng Tianyou, Zhou Chengqian has already caught the attention of a super faction in Cangzhou.

Zhou Chengyun was very satisfied with Feng Tianyou's attitude and nodded, saying with a smile, "Ye Chen is a Tier Three Ultimate Celestial Seal Spirit Master, his swordsmanship heritage is also extremely exquisite and powerful, not an easy character to deal with.

To kill him, at the very least, you would need a top-level Tier Five Spirit Master or a martial artist above the Primordial Embryo Realm Seventh Layer.

Among my Dragon Guards, there are many such experts, but they are not easy to mobilize, this much, I believe you understand."

The strong ones among the Dragon Guards are mostly on the core battlefield, any slight movement is very likely to be detected.

Moreover, while Zhou Chengyun is ostensibly the commander of the Three Thousand Dragon Guards, he actually cannot fully control them.

He can have the Dragon Guards fight the Demon Race without issue.

But if he wants the Dragon Guards to do other things, like kill Ye Chen... not only won't many people listen to him, it might even cause a big mess.

Of course.

Other than the Three Thousand Dragon Guards, Zhou Chengyun also has a private army.

But he's unwilling to take the risk.

If he sends his private army to kill Ye Chen, any slight leak of information would spell disaster for him as Prince Yong.

So, the best way to kill Ye Chen is to have forces outside the military make a move.

The Celestial Sword Sect on that side is actually the best choice.

However, Zhou Chengyun is more willing to give this opportunity to Feng Tianyou.

The Spirit Ruins Sect's strength is much greater than that of the Celestial Sword Sect, and from Zhou Chengyun's perspective, fostering a good relationship with Feng Tianyou of the Spirit Ruins Sect would be more beneficial in the future.

After all, barring any accidents, this Feng Tianyou is the chosen one for the next Sect Leader of the Spirit Ruins Sect!

As for Huang Qinglan...

In Zhou Chengyun's eyes, it's just a trivial matter.

An Earth Seal Spirit Master of the Six Groups of Spirit Patterns is rare in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but without reaching the Sixth Tier, their value is limited, and their influence is not substantial.

As a member of the royal family, sometimes even trivial matters require a lot of considerations.

Especially this time, the task at hand is not a trivial one.

It's to kill a super-gifted prodigy.

Moreover, this super prodigy is a disciple of an extremely strong legendary figure who has achieved unity of spirit and martial arts!

"Although it's not suitable for my people to act directly, I will create some opportunities for you, releasing some formidable Demonic Qi creatures to attack the area where Ye Chen is.

Then, you can make your move and kill Ye Chen.

In this way, even if someone wants to investigate, it would be useless. Ye Chen would have died at the hands of the Demon Race, having nothing to do with you or me."

Feng Tianyou's eyes sparkled as he said, "Prince Yong, I have one more concern."

"Speak."

"It's commonly known about Ye Chen's situation in Demon Suppression Valley; Ouyang Shang from Cangxing Martial Arts Academy is also a ruthless figure. Would he not arrange for someone to secretly protect Ye Chen?"

Zhou Chengyun replied, "You can be assured, within the Star Spirit System of Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, a close confidant of Meng Changtian gave me a list.

The list clearly shows the whereabouts of all experts from Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, and there's no one secretly protecting Ye Chen.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Ouyang Commerce Association might arrange someone outside Cangxing Martial Arts Academy to protect him, but as long as everything proceeds according to my plan, nothing will go wrong.

Initially, I'll arrange for a batch of strong Demonic Qi creatures to attack the area where Ye Chen is, if he can't hold on, those protecting him secretly will undoubtedly reveal themselves, at that time, you can act accordingly."

"Prince Yong's thoughts are meticulous, I, Feng Tianyou, am impressed."

"Then I'll wait in the main camp, awaiting your good news. After killing Ye Chen, I will create another excellent opportunity for you to earn merit. Afterward, when I return to Jiulong City, I'll be able to give you due credit."

...

The area where Ye Chen and Liu Meng'Er were located.

In merely an hour, three groups of the Demon Race had already appeared one after another.

Those at the Sea of Qi Realm were nowhere to be seen, the weakest were at the Elemental Wheel Realm!

If Ye Chen and Liu Meng'Er weren't formidable in combat, if it were a well-equipped squad with decent strength, they'd likely have been wiped out.

Ye Chen had already sensed something suspicious.

The captain of that Defense Army squad they encountered earlier said that a group of powerful Demonic Qi creatures had escaped the core battlefield, which seems to be true.

But the problem is, Ye Chen is well aware that the area he and his senior sister are guarding is just the tip of the iceberg of the entire battlefield.

Right here, they've already encountered so many powerful Demonic Qi creatures.

Could it be that the core battlefield has already been breached entirely by the Demon Race?

Absolutely impossible!

The more likely scenario is that someone intentionally released some powerful Demonic Qi creatures…

At this moment.

Liu Meng'Er sat cross-legged on the ground, seizing the time to channel her energy. After several consecutive battles, she was greatly exhausted and had sustained some injuries.

Although Ye Chen had killed more of the Demon Race, his energy was abundant and his physical body strong, so his consumption was within a controllable range, and he wasn't much injured. He frowned deeply, if what he had guessed was true, then he couldn't stay with his senior sister Liu Meng'Er any longer.

Staying together.

Would only drag down his senior sister!

Although Ye Chen had a better option, which was to contact other members of the Martial Arts Academy and find instructors, this would make anyone wanting to act hesitant.

However, Ye Chen also considered that since the opponents had already begun, they must have prevented such an action, making it difficult to contact others from the Martial Arts Academy, especially its experts.

Soon, Ye Chen made a decision.

Separate from his senior sister later!

Lure those wanting to deal with him out one by one!

Those he can kill, he'll kill himself!

Those he can't kill, someone will!

He was very clear that nearby, there was always a formidable figure secretly following him. According to Luo Qingyi, the person secretly protecting him was one with perfect harmony between spirit and martial arts, very strong!

Just as Ye Chen wanted to mention this matter to Liu Meng'Er.

"Rumble!"

The ground shook and the mountains trembled!

A shadow suddenly appeared in the sky.

Ye Chen looked up.

It was a small mountain, crashing down.

"Senior sister, be careful!"

"Junior brother, be careful!"

Ye Chen and Liu Meng'Er shouted almost simultaneously, and then their figures swiftly ascended.

Liu Meng'Er struck out with a palm.

Ye Chen cleaved with his sword.

The sword light split the descending mountain.

The palm print shattered the broken stones!

The air waves rolled.

The rocks scattered.

Amidst the billowing dust, Ye Chen stepped forward, dashing down, appearing beside a Primordial Embryo Realm Demon Race member, and slashed with the Celestial Mark Sword.

"Boom!"

A Primordial Embryo Realm Demon Race member, turned into dust.

Right after, the spiritual power in Ye Chen's sea of consciousness crazily surged out.

Spirit wave impact!

"Ahhhh!"

A dense chorus of screams echoed.

Ye Chen's figure leaped up, appearing in mid-air.

The force of the stacked waves layered threefold.

The Five Elements Sword Intent flowed, the Fiery Sword Intent manifested, the Heaven-Burning Sword exploded!

A sea of fire accompanied Ye Chen's sword swing.

Flames roared, baking layers of heat waves, swords formed from condensed fire shooting in all directions.

"Boom boom boom!"

Ye Chen first used the explosive spirit wave impact to attack the sea of consciousness of a group of Demon Race, then unleashed the Heaven-Burning Sword for a range attack, instantly, a group of Elemental Wheel Realm Demon Race fell.

"Boom!"

At this moment.

Liu Meng'Er's body fell from the sky onto the ground, creating a huge pit.

A terrifying Demonic Qi enveloped Demon Race member dived toward the pit.

This was at least a strong Demon Race member at the seventh or eighth layer of the Primordial Embryo Realm.

Ye Chen's expression tensed, he executed the Heaven-Ascending Step, instantly rushing to the pit, thrusting a sword towards the ground.

Earth Extreme Dragon Slash!

A giant dragon made of earth and stone formed, blocking in front of Ye Chen.

The diving Demon Race powerhouse smashed the earth-stone dragon with a punch, his fist flashing with dense demonic light, continued to strike Ye Chen's face with overwhelming force.

Ye Chen held his sword horizontally before him.

The Demon Race man's fist bent Ye Chen's Celestial Mark Sword.

Ye Chen's body was also blasted by this violent power, breaking a row of big trees, and after landing, his figure slid back several meters further.

But the Demon Race powerhouse abandoned attacking Liu Meng'Er, roared lowly, and directly attacked Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's sea of consciousness trembled, three Extreme Celestial Spirit Seals flew out, merged into one, golden light transformed into a giant sword, slashing at the Demon Race powerhouse.

The Demon Race powerhouse immediately halted his figure, one of his arms suddenly transformed as large as a mountain, punched towards the golden light giant sword!

"Boom!"

The golden light giant sword exploded.

The Demon Race powerhouse's body also plunged into the ground up to his chest, enormous cracks spread in all directions, his mountain-like arm returned to its original size, green demonic blood sprayed out.

"Swish!"

At the moment of the attack of the golden light giant sword formed by the spirit seals, Ye Chen had already rushed toward this Demon Race powerhouse, now, dual-wielding his sword, stacking wave energy and Golden Extreme Sky-breaking Sword simultaneously exploded, stabbed at the Demon Race powerhouse's face!

The Demon Race powerhouse reacted quickly, his head jerked to one side, just dodging Ye Chen's thrust.

Ye Chen, with sword in both hands, fiercely slashed down, the sword edge directly hacked onto the shoulder of the Demon Race powerhouse.

However.

This sword, yet couldn't smoothly continue cutting down, instead seemed to be stuck!

The Demon Race powerhouse's hand full of green demonic blood directly grabbed Ye Chen's sword, his other hand slammed onto the ground.

"Boom!"

The earth shattered, stones splattered.

The Demon Race powerhouse's body rose from the ground, flying into the air!

Since Ye Chen's sword was still stuck on this Demon Race powerhouse's shoulder, held by his one hand, Ye Chen's body flew into the air as well.

The Demon Race powerhouse's face showed a sinister smile, his other hand palm also grew immensely, reaching to crush Ye Chen!

Ye Chen now, only abandoning the sword could he use Heaven-Ascending Step to dodge this attack.

But...

He didn't choose to abandon the sword!

To a swordsman, a sword is as important as a partner, as vital as life!

The next moment.

Three spirit seal projections appeared again, this time, after merging, transformed directly into a golden sword, launched toward this Demon Race powerhouse.

The power when golden light sword formed by spirit seal projection is not on the same level as when the spirit seal projection itself transforms into a sword!
