Celestial Sword Sect, Red-clothed Dongfang Xiu, made the situation spiral out of her control.

The entire Luoyao Mountain Range was thrown into chaos.

A giant iron hammer swept across the area, smashing one Tier Four Demon Beast after another.

"Awooo!"

The howl of a wolf echoed.

"Swish!"

A silver light, like a crescent moon, tore through the space, appearing instantly beside Yuan Polu.

Yuan Polu swung the massive iron hammer in his hand fiercely toward the silver crescent.

"Boom!"

A thunderous explosion sounded.

The silver crescent shattered.

A deep ravine appeared on Yuan Polu's massive iron hammer, and his figure was slammed to the ground, sliding backward along the surface, creating a hundred-meter-long fissure.

"Fifth-rank? I'll hammer you to death just the same!"

Yuan Polu got up, looked at the silver wolf standing on a small hill in the distance, and shouted angrily through gritted teeth.

At this moment.

A figure rushed over, blocking Yuan Polu's path.

Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, Star Dan Department, Xiao Yuanshan.

"Elder Xiao, move aside, I've got to hammer this guy to death."

On any other occasion, Yuan Polu wouldn't dare call him an old man; even if this guy was the top disciple of the Lingwu Department, Xiao Yuanshan would clean him up!

But now, it's not possible!

"Didn't the Lingwu Department ever offer a course on analyzing the demon beast situation in the Luoyao Mountain Range?" Xiao Yuanshan said angrily, "This is the Silver Moon Celestial Wolf, a descendant of one of the five great Demon Kings of the Luoyao Mountain Range. If you kill it, do you know how dire the consequences will be?!"

Xiao Yuanshan was furious beyond measure.

"Really?"

Yuan Polu blinked.

"Nonsense!"

"Whoosh!"

Yuan Polu's figure flashed, and he flew away.

Couldn't afford to provoke it.

Only manageable if the teacher arrived.

Xiao Yuanshan paused for a moment—did he just run off?

Without a single word of goodbye, scoundrel!

Immediately after, Xiao Yuanshan's figure also flashed, disappearing from the spot; there was no choice, couldn't afford to provoke the Demon King!

A moment later, Xiao Yuanshan caught up with Yuan Polu and blocked him.

"Yuan Polu, follow me quickly and leave the Luoyao Mountain Range!" Xiao Yuanshan said tensely, "I had a brief conversation with a less frenzied demon beast—it seems the Holy Egg that was lost three years ago in the Luoyao Mountain Range has appeared, but it's been destroyed, so all the demon beasts here are furious!"

"Holy Egg?" Yuan Polu was a bit bewildered, "Can it be eaten?"

Xiao Yuanshan explained, "The Luoyao Mountain Range has two Holy Eggs, guarded by all demons for millennia. Three years ago, there was a fierce internal conflict among the mountain range's major Demon Kings, and somehow, one Holy Egg disappeared.

Just half an hour ago, the aura of that lost Holy Egg reappeared in the Luoyao Mountain Range, but it emanates the aura of a broken egg, which is why things have turned like this."

"Oh."

Yuan Polu responded instinctively, hefted his big hammer, and turned to leave.

"Wrong direction."

Xiao Yuanshan called out, "People from the Lingwu Department can't even tell direction."

Yuan Polu said, "I haven't found my fellow disciple yet; I can't leave."

...…

Inside the meticulously arranged array of the Celestial Sword Sect.

Ye Chen and two others, upon entering, discovered several bodies, clearly killed by the talons of the eagle they had lured in.

The eagle's body was also to the side, only dying after being slashed several times by the Celestial Sword Sect adept who had returned to aid.

Apart from these bodies, there was a dark cave sloping downwards ahead.

Without any hesitation, Ye Chen moved toward the cave's entrance.

Luo Tian crouched down and dug out the monster core from a demon beast's corpse.

Tier Three Demon Beast, worth twenty points for the assessment.

Brother Fatty quickly searched through the bodies of the Celestial Sword Sect.

As soon as Luo Tian extracted the monster core, Brother Fatty was finished.

Luo Tian stared.

Brother Fatty immediately said, "You absolutely did that on purpose, dawdling over that female corpse."

Luo Tian blushed and denied, "I didn't."

Brother Fatty said no more, and rushed into the cave to catch up with Ye Chen.

A moment later, Luo Tian caught up too, saying, "Brother Fatty, let's split evenly!"

Brother Fatty: "..."

Having intentionally diverted Luo Tian's attention, he didn't expect Luo Tian would still remember!

This tunnel was spacious and deep.

Fortunately, there were no branches; it went straight down.

Suddenly, a cold voice came from the front: "Who!"

A strong wave emanated from the other end of the dark passageway.

Brother Fatty said, "Senior Brother, Master is tangled outside and can't get free, let me in to notify you all to speed up."

At Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, teachers are called "Teacher."

In these sects and factions, teachers are called "Master."

Brother Fatty was currently pretending to be one of the Celestial Sword Sect.

As soon as Brother Fatty finished speaking, the strong fluctuation of elemental power from the other end of the passageway weakened slightly.

In the next moment.

"Whoosh!"

Ye Chen's speed suddenly surged.

In the tunnel, the fierce wind howled and dazzling sword light illuminated the darkness.

Aside from Ye Chen, Luo Tian also charged forward pungently.

But when Luo Tian reached, he found two Celestial Sword Sect members already lying in pools of blood.

Immediately squatted down to take the valuable items.

"Don't hide, I saw it, split evenly!"

Brother Fatty said gloomily.

Ye Chen disregarded these looting matters and continued down the passageway, soon, there was a flickering light ahead.

...…

This was a vast underground space, lit by many torches, surrounded by jagged rocks.

In the center of the underground space was a stone platform.

On the stone platform, there sat a young man.

Around the man, a surge of extremely pure energy was flowing. The man was circulating his cultivation technique, absorbing this energy, with a look of rapture on his face.

Beside him were three other people.

Two slightly younger men, around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, watched the man absorbing energy with faces full of envy.

The other was a middle-aged woman, her expression filled with intense anticipation.

"Tong'er, how much longer?"

The middle-aged woman asked.

"Auntie, at most a quarter of an hour, and I can completely absorb the surface energy."

The man sitting in the center of the stone platform said. He was Gu Tong, the grandson of Gu Yue, an elder of the Celestial Sword Sect.

And that middle-aged woman was Gu Yue's daughter, Gu Lan Jiao!

"Alright, speed up," Gu Lan Jiao said. "There are disturbances outside. Once you refine the surface energy and take these things, we will leave immediately."

"No!"

Gu Tong said, "Auntie, after getting the things here, we still need to confirm whether Ye Chen is dead or not. It's said that Ye Chen has shown extremely astonishing talent and even joined the Spirit Martial division. We mustn't let him grow, or he will definitely take revenge in the future!"

"Dongfang Xiu and others are taking care of that. It should have already succeeded. Tong'er, don't worry about those things. The immediate priority is to take away these things, and then you go back to the sect immediately to go into seclusion. Strive to break through to the Peak of Yuan Wheel Realm within half a year and secure the chief disciple position!" Gu Lan Jiao said.

At this moment.

Ye Chen, lurking at a side passage entrance, gripped the hilt of his sword even tighter!

As expected, the descendants of that old dog Gu Yue were here, and not just one of them.

These guys were still thinking about trying to kill him.

Ye Chen glanced at the fatty next to him and Luo Tian.

The two couldn't help but shiver all over.

Ye Chen's gaze was chillingly cold!

Even though the three of them were only a punch's distance apart, Brother Fatty chose to transmit with spiritual power, "Gu Tong's aura clearly indicates he just stepped into the Elemental Wheel Realm.

That old woman is quite strong, definitely at the Primordial Embryo Realm level.

The remaining two are also in the Elemental Wheel Realm.

Since we're here, of course we can't return empty-handed. So, I have an idea..."

Before Brother Fatty could relay his plan via spiritual transmission.

Ye Chen also transmitted mentally to the two.

"I'll hold off the old woman for a moment, Brother Fatty, Brother Luo, each of you take one down."

Luo Tian, being in True Essence Realm Ninth Layer, could cut down someone at the Peak of Qi Sea Realm. Now that Luo Tian is at Qi Sea Realm First Layer, cutting down someone in the Elemental Wheel Realm should be no problem.

As for Brother Fatty, to be honest, Ye Chen thought this guy could probably easily take out someone in the Elemental Wheel Realm.

As for the strongest old woman.

She was, of course, his own responsibility.

Brother Fatty blinked. Had Ye Chen, after just a month of joining the Spirit Martial division, already mastered spiritual power transmission?

This rate of spiritual power improvement was really fast!

Originally, he was planning to show off his skills with this move.

It turns out Ye Chen could do it too...

Luckily, Luo Tian, this dimwit, couldn't do it, proving that he, Fatty, was still better than Luo Tian!

"Brother Fatty, I'll cut one down with a sword, don't dawdle, let's finish quickly and help Brother Ye handle the old woman."

This was Luo Tian's telepathic message.

Fatty: "..."

Having made the decision.

Ye Chen was ready to take action.

Brother Fatty was somewhat hesitant.

Luo Tian was also a bit worried.

The two of them handling one Elemental Wheel Realm was no big problem.

But... the most dangerous was Ye Chen.

Ye Chen had just stepped into Qi Sea Realm First Layer, coupling with someone in the Primordial Embryo Realm, he would most likely be slapped to death.

Three of them working together to deal with that Primordial Embryo Realm old woman might be possible.

If Ye Chen got killed prematurely.

Then the two of them would be in deep trouble too.

At this moment.

The power within Ye Chen's body suddenly erupted; under his feet, the wind stirred violently as he dashed out of the passage.

Almost at the moment Ye Chen's aura erupted, Gu Lan Jiao noticed.

She snorted coldly and struck towards the passage entrance, elemental power forming a gigantic hand. Anyone rushing out from the passage would be smashed into minced meat by this elemental palm seal.

Ye Chen burst out of the passage.

The gigantic elemental palm seal came face to face.

Tremendous pressure swept over his entire body instantly, making his flesh and bones feel like they would be crushed.

"Buzz!"

A sharp radiance erupted from Ye Chen's body and from the sword in his hand.

Man and sword became one!

The wind howled vehemently.

Thunder and lightning flashed.

Ye Chen's speed erupted by a large margin, flashing to the side.

The elemental palm seal followed closely but missed, smashing one rock wall in this underground space!

"It's you, Ye Chen!"

Gu Lan Jiao had seen Ye Chen's portrait and recognized him at a glance, coldly shouting, "I didn't expect you to actually find this place. Your life is really tenacious! Since you've come to court death, I'll fulfill your wish!"

As her voice fell, Gu Lan Jiao's figure lunged towards Ye Chen.

Almost the moment Gu Lan Jiao moved, Brother Fatty and Luo Tian rushed out of the passage as well.

Luo Tian gripped the huge sword with both hands.

A terrifying beast roar emanated from within the huge sword.

Elemental power surged, transforming into the phantom of a flood dragon swirling around the huge sword.

"Boom!"

With one slash.

A Celestial Sword Sect Elemental Wheel Realm elite who hadn't reacted was smashed into pieces by Luo Tian's blow.

Another Celestial Sword Sect Elemental Wheel Realm elite, was surrounded by orange spirit talismans which surged and combined into an array.

Soon after, three white spirit seal projections flew out from the center of Brother Fatty's forehead, merging into the array.

"Boom!"

The array exploded.

The three white spirit seal projections flew back into Brother Fatty's forehead instantly.

Though he still hid the power of the Earth Spirit Seal, he chose to expose his tier three Spirit Master level.

Otherwise, wanting to instantly kill a Celestial Sword Sect Elemental Wheel Realm elite was very difficult. If he was slow, that dimwit Luo Tian might look down on him.
