At this moment, Yang Tianji was burning with anxiety.

That old bastard Yu Sheng, what on earth is he doing!

Although Yang Tianji could roughly guess that this was Ye Chen's idea, cooperating with Ye Chen like this was simply causing trouble!

Yang Tianji also wanted to immediately enter the Heaven and Earth Array of Lingyun Mountain, but the Blood Cloud Ancestor and the Heaven-Reaching Realm Tiger Demon had him tightly entangled. If he was not injured, it would still be manageable, but in his current state, there was no way to shake off these two formidable foes.

On the other side.

Grand Commander of the Dragon Guard, Qin Hao, led a group of powerful military figures to the area where Fatty and the others were, immediately shouting, "Everyone, follow me!"

This place had become a battlefield for legendary powerhouses, and even though he, Qin Hao, had peak Unity Realm strength, if he were directly hit by the aftermath of the legendary powerhouses' battle, it could mean near-certain death.

So, he understood very well that his current priority was to get the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty away from here.

Simultaneously, an incredibly shocking emotion surged in Qin Hao's heart.

Forty young geniuses from the Great Zhou Dynasty had come in total.

Only sixteen came out, including a pretty-faced one with three maids, meaning that of the forty who entered, only fourteen had emerged.

Ye Chen was still inside, leaving fifteen surviving.

A total of twenty-five had perished!

The Sect Alliance brought ten people, nine of whom died, leaving only Dongfang Xiu.

The Imperial Court sent seven people; five died, with Zhou Yanran and a descendant of their Dragon Guard general remaining.

The aristocratic forces sent ten people; six died, leaving Hua Ao Bone and three other honorable family members.

In comparison, the Martial Arts Academy sent thirteen; five died, the smallest loss.

Qin Hao's temple throbbed violently. What on earth happened within Lingyun Mountain over these seven days?

The overall casualties were too great!

The critical issue was that ten disciples of the Thousand Spirits Sect were still inside Lingyun Mountain, detained by Ye Chen; what was happening?

Could it be that the young people of the Great Zhou Dynasty were besieged by the elites of the other three great dynasties?

Qin Hao escorted this batch of young people from the Great Zhou Dynasty away from the battlefield. Along the way, he couldn't help but grab Fatty by the collar and started questioning.

Fatty succinctly described the situation: "We fought a battle with the Great Qin Dynasty's people; however many came from the Celestial Cold Martial Arts Academy, that many died, all killed by Ye Chen.

As for our side, those who died all wanted to kill Ye Chen and were then taken out by us working together!"

Actually, Fatty and the others didn't kill many; most were killed by Ye Chen, but Fatty intentionally said this. Either way, the pressure couldn't all fall on Ye Chen.

Qin Hao's eyes filled with bloodshed, the killing intent boiling over!

The people of the Great Zhou Dynasty died due to internal strife!

This was an environment of competition against the people of the three great dynasties, yet the Great Zhou Dynasty was still fighting among themselves!

He had interacted with Ye Chen and understood Ye Chen's character; it was very likely those people were unwilling to let go of their grudges against Ye Chen…

They deserved to die, deserved it!

"What's the deal with Ye Chen controlling the people of the Thousand Spirits Sect!" Qin Hao asked.

"The traitor Meng Changtian from Cangxing Martial Arts Academy infiltrated Lingyun Mountain, Ye Chen killed him, and learned that Blood Cloud Ancestor would take action against Elder Yang. He suspected there was a problem with that legendary expert from the Thousand Spirits Sect, so he controlled the ten from the Thousand Spirits Sect to ease Elder Yang's burden.

But they're doomed; even if the legendary powerhouse of the Thousand Spirits Sect goes in, it won't help."

They are already dead.

Now it's just a matter of deceiving that legendary powerhouse from the Thousand Spirits Sect.

Fatty explained, and others who emerged from Lingyun Mountain did not refute it.

......

Within the Heaven and Earth Array of Lingyun Mountain, Yu Sheng and Shen Mingfeng of the Thousand Spirits Sect had rushed in.

The exit of the Heaven and Earth Array had already closed.

Both noticed Ye Chen standing halfway up the mountain.

Yu Sheng furrowed his brows and unleashed his full power into an extremely polished copper mirror, which immediately emitted a terrifying beam of light, blasting toward Shen Mingfeng.

Shen Mingfeng swiftly turned and slammed a palm at the beam, his palm seeming to roar with countless beasts.

"Boom!"

The beam was shattered by Shen Mingfeng, who then unleashed his spiritual power, but sensed only Ye Chen's presence; none of their ten elite disciples' presence was detected.

"Ahhhh!"

Shen Mingfeng let out a frenzied roar, yelling, "Ye Chen, how dare you kill my great-grandson, I will tear you to pieces!"

His great-grandson was Shen Jie!

If it were any other nine disciples of the Thousand Spirits Sect controlled by Ye Chen, Shen Mingfeng wouldn't care; killing Yang Tianji was more important. But because of Shen Jie, he stormed in so hysterically.

However… they were all dead!

Yu Sheng also shouted, "You brat, your plan to ease your teacher's burden has succeeded, I'll send you away first, leave this to me!"

Yu Sheng's sudden intervention was not part of Ye Chen's plan.

But Yu Sheng's presence actually gave him a huge assist.

If Ye Chen alone attracted the legendary expert of the Thousand Spirits Sect, he indeed took great risks, and possibly could not reach that cave before being overtaken if not for Yu Sheng's help.

But… Yu Sheng's assistance worried Ye Chen!

Although Yu Sheng was a senior figure of the Great Zhou Dynasty, an old-timer with peak Unity Realm cultivation, reputed outside as someone not to cross even more than a legendary powerhouse, this did not imply Yu Sheng was more formidable than legendary powerhouses.

This guy, known by everyone as an old fox, wasn't Shen Mingfeng's match even with a special copper mirror, coughed up blood under Shen Mingfeng's onslaught.

Yu Sheng roared, "Be ready, I'll forcefully open this Heaven and Earth Array, hurry up and get out of here!"

In Ye Chen's heart, a wave of emotion surged.

No matter how corrupt the Great Zhou Dynasty is, there were always people worth respecting.

However, how could Ye Chen leave at this moment?

If he left, Yu Sheng could very well die!

And Shen Mingfeng would also go after his teacher again!

Attracting Shen Mingfeng in and killing a legend was part of Ye Chen's plan all along!

"Dean Yu, don't worry about me, a mere Heaven-Reaching Realm has no right to kill me!" Ye Chen shouted, then turned and frantically dashed up the mountain.

Shen Mingfeng was so enraged that he was about to explode.

Shen Jie was dead, and he, a Heaven-Reaching Realm powerhouse from the Thousand Spirits Sect, was entangled by a peak Unity Realm elder of the Great Zhou Dynasty … now he was being so belittled by a mere youngster like Ye Chen.

In his fury, Shen Mingfeng went berserk, his fists pounding like a torrential downpour, smashing several miles of the surrounding space into fragments.

Yu Sheng struggled as if a lone leaf in a storm, barely holding on, and moments later, his copper mirror was blasted far away, his body was also knocked back flying like a kite with a broken string.

Shen Mingfeng, unwilling to waste more time on Yu Sheng, turned directly towards the mountain top!

The blood-soaked Yu Sheng hit the ground, his face showing bitterness.

He had given it his all, even risking his life, but now, he couldn't even move.

Nonetheless, Yu Sheng muttered, "That brat is truly arrogant… If a legendary powerhouse like me heard something like that, I would also be furious…"

"A mere Heaven-Reaching Realm?"

"No right to kill me?"

If he hadn't heard it himself, Yu Sheng would never believe someone less than nineteen years old could dare utter such words.

......

At this moment, Ye Chen exerted his ultimate speed, finally reaching the entrance of the cave.

Below, Shen Mingfeng was pursuing at an extremely fast pace.

Fortunately, Yu Sheng had delayed Shen Mingfeng a bit; otherwise, Ye Chen would have had no chance to rush back here.

"All of the Thousand Spirits Sect are trash!"

Ye Chen unceremoniously cursed, then turned and directly rushed into the cave.

Old fool, it's come to this, I don't believe you won't come in!
