Ye Chen left the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, and only half a day later did Hu Wenhui regain his senses. He hurriedly emerged from the secret realm of transmission to find Elder Bai Mei.

Now, with Ouyang Shang, Yang Tianji, and Liu Mubai, the three pillars of the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, absent, everything was left to Elder Bai Mei to decide.

When Elder Bai Mei heard the news, he was extremely anxious.

"Elder Bai Mei, the most urgent task now is to get Ye Chen back immediately. The outside world is like a mountain of knives and a sea of fire for him. If his whereabouts are discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

Hu Wenhui was filled with anxiety and guilt, after all, it was his responsibility to keep an eye on Ye Chen...

Elder Bai Mei hesitated for a long time, finally shook his head, and said, "Arrange a few trustworthy instructors to go down the mountain and look for him. This matter must not cause a big stir, or it will be tantamount to telling the enemy that Ye Chen has left the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy!"

......

Two days later.

Ye Chen appeared in a forest of sword-like mountains.

This was the original site of the Celestial Sword Sect!

Ever since the Celestial Sword Sect was abolished, this place had been abandoned.

All these sword-like mountains had lost their vitality and appeared lifeless and desolate.

Suddenly, a cold light flashed in Ye Chen's eyes, and a powerful sharpness erupted from within him.

"It's me."

Dressed in red, Dongfang Xiu emerged from a distance, overcome with a sense of fear.

Ye Chen... seemed to have become even more formidable. Just sensing the aura around him made Dongfang Xiu's scalp tingle!

"How is the task going?"

Ye Chen looked at Dongfang Xiu and asked directly.

They hadn't had direct communication on Lingyun Mountain, the only interaction being Ye Chen's angry shout when he knocked Dongfang Xiu away.

But Dongfang Xiu was smart and picked up on many implications from that single sentence.

"Gu Yue should have received my message by now. It's expected that within three days, he will come here to find me," Dongfang Xiu said.

Ye Chen acknowledged with a hum and said, "Then I'll wait for him here."

Saying this, Ye Chen prepared to find a place to hide and wait for Gu Yue to appear.

"Ye Chen!" Dongfang Xiu called out.

Ye Chen stopped and looked at Dongfang Xiu.

Dongfang Xiu's expression was complicated as he said, "After killing Gu Yue, your next step should be leaving Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, leaving the Great Zhou Dynasty, right?"

During their time on Lingyun Mountain, Dongfang Xiu had guessed this possibility from some of Ye Chen's words and actions.

Ye Chen said indifferently, "That's none of your concern."

Unconcerned, Dongfang Xiu continued, "If I'm not mistaken, before you leave, you're definitely going to make a big splash. Because you don't want to implicate the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, you will make everyone aware that you've left, and you will also announce your departure from the Martial Arts Academy, right?

You don't need to respond to my guess, but perhaps I can help you create a big scene."

Ye Chen's eyes flickered, he said, "No wonder Dean Ouyang chose to put you in the Celestial Sword Sect, and then inserted you into the Sect Alliance. But you have always been indecisive. Why should I trust you?"

"I don't want to live these kinds of days anymore, do you believe me?" Dongfang Xiu revealed a bitter smile, saying, "Over the years, I've managed quite well with my cleverness, but there's never been anyone around me that I can trust.

When I saw Yu Hui and Luo Tian, willing to risk everything for you, and you, in turn, willing to take risks for them, to be honest, I was quite envious."

Pausing, Dongfang Xiu continued, "Do you remember the first time we faced off in the Luoyao Mountain Range? There are two sacred eggs in the Luoyao Mountain Range. Last time, I destroyed one, which caused the beasts in the Luoyao Mountain Range to riot!

If you can find the other sacred egg and lure your opponents into the Luoyao Mountain Range, the commotion will be enormous.

In the Luoyao Mountain Range, there are four Demon Kings, all of whom are Heaven-Reaching Great Demons, especially the Flood Dragon King, whose combat power is formidable. Once the four Demon Kings of Luoyao Mountain Range are enraged, their power far surpasses that of the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy!"

Ye Chen had heard about the sacred egg in the Luoyao Mountain Range as well.

"Do you know where the other sacred egg is hidden?" Ye Chen asked.

"I do. I often went to the Luoyao Mountain Range to investigate leads when I had nothing to do. The other sacred egg is alternately guarded by the four Demon Kings of the Luoyao Mountain Range. The White Elephant Demon King and the Celestial Fox Demon King have always been at odds. When they take turns guarding, there is often friction. This is your chance to approach the sacred egg."

After hearing this, Ye Chen nodded and said, "This time, I believe you!"

Dongfang Xiu smiled and said, "Let me make it clear, if you fail, don't blame me, and I won't be going with you."

"Okay."

Then, Ye Chen found a concealed spot, sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. In his mind, the ferocious image of Gu Yue appeared.

Unknowingly, it had been almost half a year.

For this half year, killing Gu Yue had always been the heaviest burden in Ye Chen's heart.

If it weren't for Gu Yue, the Ye Family members would still be living comfortably in Qingyun City, living harmoniously, and Ye Chen would still be the young master of the Ye Family, living without worries.

Although Ye Chen's current strength was now so great that everyone in Qingyun City could only look up to him, if he had a choice, he would rather not have this power. He would prefer his family members to all be alive and well!

Unfortunately, everything was a foregone conclusion.

Back then, with just one word from Gu Yue, the people of the Ye Family died in despair one after another, and everything about the Ye Family was consumed in flames.

After wiping out the Huang Family and burying his family members, Ye Chen had knelt before their graves and made a blood oath to personally bring Gu Yue's head to their graves as a tribute to their spirits in heaven.

Now, the matter of revenge was finally about to reach its final act.

Once Gu Yue showed up, no matter what, Gu Yue's head would be taken!

A moment later, Ye Chen calmed his mind, placed the Celestial Mark Sword horizontally across his knees, and then began channeling the Sword Control Celestial Scripture to nurture the Spirit Sword.

If he were to absorb the world's elemental energy for cultivation at this moment, it would cause some commotion, and it might be discovered by Gu Yue.

Nurturing the Spirit Sword, however, did not produce any energy fluctuations.

......

In this manner.

Another two days passed swiftly.

The Celestial Mark Sword, sheathed, after Ye Chen's nurturing, appeared eager to be unsheathed and let its sword light shine across the world!

Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes, gently patted the scabbard, and whispered, "Soon, just a little longer!"

At this moment, not far from Ye Chen, Dongfang Xiu's face suddenly showed a trace of tension.

The look of nervousness flashed briefly, and Dongfang Xiu regained his composure, smiling and saying, "Since Elder Gu has arrived, why not show yourself?"

As these words were spoken, a figure flew in swiftly from a distance, landing in front of Dongfang Xiu.

It was... Gu Yue!

"It's been a few months, Elder Gu has become much thinner," Dongfang Xiu remarked.

Gu Yue snorted coldly and said, "Dongfang Xiu, what exactly do you want by calling me here?"

Dongfang Xiu said, "Elder Gu, do you still remember Ye Chen?"

"Of course I remember. If it hadn't been for my momentary compassion, he would have died in Qingyun City long ago. How could he be here today!" Gu Yue said through gritted teeth, "But now he's also nearing his end. Even if Yang Tianji and Ouyang Shang try their hardest, they can't protect him!"

Dongfang Xiu chuckled and said, "Elder Gu, today, it is Ye Chen looking for you, not me."

As he finished speaking, Dongfang Xiu's figure rapidly retreated!
