Hearing the word "traitor."

Others might not understand who Ye Chen was referring to, but Fatty and Luo Tian from the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy had already guessed it was Meng Changtian.

When Meng Changtian betrayed the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, it significantly impacted the academy, as he, being the Vice Dean in charge of the Star Spirit System, was familiar with the academy's array restrictions.

For a while, the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy spent tremendous effort in revising the array restrictions.

Because of his grandfather Yu Sheng, Fatty knew a confidential piece of information: Meng Changtian fled the academy by following Blood Cloud Ancestor!

Meng Changtian appearing at Lingyun Mountain implied that Blood Cloud Ancestor might be there too.

Fatty immediately transmitted a message through Spiritual Power, saying, "Brother Ye, don't be impulsive. Blood Cloud Ancestor might be here."

"If Blood Cloud Ancestor were here, Meng Changtian wouldn't have to hide in the shadows. Don't worry, dealing with Meng Changtian poses no difficulty for me." Ye Chen transmitted his response to Fatty.

If Blood Cloud Ancestor were absent, Fatty truly didn't worry about Ye Chen facing Meng Changtian.

Even though Meng Changtian was just a Tier Five Top-level Spirit Master, Fatty knew that Hua Qianxue severely injured his Sea of Consciousness Divine Soul, making further advancements difficult for him. Even with the innate power of Black Flame Spirit Fire in Meng Changtian's Sea of Consciousness, it posed no threat to Ye Chen.

Fatty could only describe Ye Chen's current prowess with the word "monstrous."

Then, Ye Chen turned around and swiftly departed.

......

Not far from Ye Chen's earlier battle with Shen Jie and others was Meng Changtian, concealed among a pile of chaotic rocks.

He had witnessed the scene of Ye Chen killing Shen Jie, and it had shocked him immensely.

Over four months ago, Ye Chen had just joined the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy. At that time, if it weren't for Hua Qianxue's intervention, Meng Changtian could have crushed Ye Chen with a single finger.

Three months ago, he was still the Vice Dean of the academy and faced a challenge from Ye Chen. Due to Ouyang Shang's presence, he was forced not to use Black Flame Spirit Fire and ended up being humiliated by Ye Chen.

However, back then, Meng Changtian still felt assured of being able to kill Ye Chen; the eruption of Black Flame Spirit Fire would tremendously enhance his fighting power.

Later, when Ye Chen headed to Demon Suppression Valley, Meng Changtian secretly leaked Ye Chen's whereabouts. Surprisingly, Ye Chen achieved extraordinary feats there. Sensing trouble, Meng Changtian took the opportunity to follow Blood Cloud Ancestor away from Unparalleled County. In just two months, Ye Chen had already grown so formidable…

Earlier, Meng Changtian was genuinely startled.

If Blood Cloud Ancestor hadn't healed his Sea of Consciousness Divine Soul's injury, allowing him to become a newly entered Tier Six Spirit Master, he would've fled instantly.

Meng Changtian didn't act immediately; he was contemplating the most foolproof way to deal with the situation.

After all, Ye Chen still had several individuals by his side, many of whom had lost combat abilities. But with Young Master Void and his three maidservants, that force wasn't weak. If they aided Ye Chen, Meng Changtian wouldn't have much assurance of defeating him.

At this moment, Meng Changtian felt a sudden, visceral sense of danger. He abruptly looked up, only to have his eyes stung by the sight of a blinding white light.

His body immediately broke out in goosebumps. In the next instant, a black flame covered him entirely, forcing Meng Changtian to quickly retreat!

"Boom!"

The spot he previously occupied was struck by a grand Sword Qi, creating a loud explosion, with turbulent airwaves rolling.

"Ye Chen!"

Covered entirely in Black Flame Spirit Fire, Meng Changtian's expression was fierce. He roared, "Didn't expect you'd actually find me. So be it; I was going to act sooner or later anyway. Since you're so eager to seek your doom, I'll fulfill your wish!"

Ye Chen glared at Meng Changtian, eyes sparkling with frost, and coldly shouted, "Today, it's time to settle our grievances!"

Meng Changtian squinted his eyes into slits and gritted his teeth, saying, "Indeed, I've long been wanting to settle our grievances.

If Ouyang Shang and Yang Tianji hadn't been protecting you all this time, do you think you'd be alive now?

This time, there's no one to shield you. I'll make you wish you were dead!"

"Do you think you're worthy?"

Meng Changtian laughed: "You'll soon find out if I'm worthy!"

As he finished speaking, six spirit seal projections flew out from Meng Changtian's Sea of Consciousness, merging to form a giant Flame Divine Bird.

Next, the black flame from his body surged toward the Flame Divine Bird.

The flames on the Flame Divine Bird immediately turned black.

This black flame was extraordinarily eerie, exuding a chilling sensation. Rather than heating up the surroundings, it caused the temperature to drop sharply!

"Surprised? I'm now a Tier Six Spirit Master!" Meng Changtian laughed crazily, saying, "With the might of my Black Flame Spirit Fire empowering the spirit seal, Ye Chen, in front of me, you'll be utterly defenseless!

You killed my son Meng Zitao, repeatedly shamed me in front of others, and forced me to abandon my position as Vice Dean of Cangxing Martial Arts Academy to live on the run. I've kept track of these debts, one by one!

After dealing with you today, it won't be long until I slaughter my way back to Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, making everyone there regret supporting your decisions!

Moreover.

I'll kill that wench Hua Qianxue as well. But before her death, I'll make her plead for mercy under me, hahaha!"

Meng Changtian was utterly arrogant at this moment.

Not far away.

Young Master Void, responsible for ensuring Fatty and others' safety, frowned, saying, "This guy acts arrogantly, even when he seems doomed... Where did this fool come from?"

Fatty, Luo Tian, and others who were healing stopped to nervously watch the direction of Ye Chen and Meng Changtian.

Meng Changtian once wielded the power of a Tier Five Top-level Spirit Master to control the Star Spirit System of Cangxing Martial Arts Academy due to his Black Flame Spirit Fire and Flying Fire Divine Bird Spiritual Technique. His strength could be viewed as top-tier Earth Seal Spirit Master level.

Now, Meng Changtian had become a Tier Six Spirit Master. Though everyone knew Ye Chen was also strong, they couldn't help but worry for him.

"Pretty boy, go and assist." Fatty said solemnly.

"I'm called Young Master Void!"

"Young Master Void, go and assist." Luo Tian also said.

Young Master Void replied helplessly, "Ye Chen instructed me to ensure your safety here. If I go to help, he'd be worried about you and it would affect his performance.

Rest assured, though I am not familiar with Ye Chen, I can tell—either he doesn't fight at all, or if he intends to, he's absolutely confident!"

"What would you know, pretty boy!" Fatty cursed bluntly.

Luo Tian snorted, saying, "Even if a Heaven-Reaching Realm Legendary Powerhouse stood before him, he'd behave the same way."

Young Master Void wore an awkward expression.

Is that so?

......

Facing off against Meng Changtian, Ye Chen, even aware that Meng Changtian was accumulating power, did not interrupt.

A glint of golden light flickered deep within his pupils.

He was using the Martial Arts True Eye divine technique to discern the mysteries of Meng Changtian's Flying Fire Divine Bird Spiritual Technique.

"Ye Chen, feel the fear of death!"

Having gathered his momentum, Meng Changtian shoutingly performed hand seals. Flanked by chilling, black flaming Divine Bird, flapped its wings and launched murderously toward Ye Chen!
