Chapter 6713 Qing Yi’s Fall

The void trembled as astral chains descended, sealing off the surrounding world.

Li Wanci finally revealed herself. Two elders stood at her sides, their gazes cold and sinister when they looked at Long Chen.

Behind the three of them were millions of the Starry River Palace’s disciples, including Li Yifeng.

These disciples were the ones maintaining the astral chains, supplying their astral energy into the chains. Channeling the combined power of millions, the formation left no room for escape.

Beside Li Yifeng stood a familiar figure.

The moment Long Chen saw this figure, his head buzzed. His vision darkened as black specks swarmed his sight.

His killing intent exploded.

“Qing Yi!”

Long Chen couldn’t believe it. Yet, she was there—standing among them.

In that instant, he understood why the Starry River Legion had been captured so easily despite their strength.

Qu Yingying knelt on the ground, chains binding her tightly. Her mouth was sealed, and she shouted desperately, but no coherent sound emerged.

The other nine star heirs were bound even more wretchedly. Their astral energy was sealed, and their gazes were full of hatred.

Long Chen’s body trembled. His face turned ashen, as if he would collapse at any moment.

Qing Yi said, “Long Chen, you don’t need to be afraid. As long as you hand over the Heaven Earth Cauldron, Palace Master Wanci will naturally let everyone go. She is—”

“Shut up...”

Long Chen’s voice was shaking. There was almost a trace of pleading in it. His fists were clenched so tightly that they creaked.

“Long Chen, I won’t hurt you. I swear—” continued Qing Yi.

“Shut your fucking mouth!”

A heaven-shaking roar erupted. Boundless killing intent burst forth, plunging the world into darkness.

At this moment, Long Chen’s expression twisted savagely. His teeth ground together as blood streamed from the corners of his eyes. Slowly, he raised his hand.

“How dare you blaspheme my Big Sister Qing. Get the fuck over here!”

A pair of pitch-black eyes opened behind Long Chen.

The Purgatory Eyes.

All of a sudden, Qing Yi collapsed to the ground, and an unfamiliar woman’s Yuan Spirit appeared in Long Chen’s hand.

She was absolutely terrified, but all her struggling was meaningless. Before the Purgatory Eyes, all of her power was stripped away. She couldn’t move or even beg.

A black vortex formed behind Long Chen. Within it, there were only a pair of eyes—cold and merciless, like those of a devil god.

Before that gaze, even Li Wanci felt her soul quiver, as if it might be ripped from her body at any moment.

Li Wanci had never expected Long Chen to have such terrifying pupil art. Saving that woman was clearly impossible now.

As Long Chen clutched the unfamiliar woman’s Yuan Spirit, he instantly understood what had happened.

Back then, Li Wanci had used her authority as vice palace master to summon Qing Yi.

When Qing Yi first arrived at the Starry River Palace, an elder questioned her about her past. Trusting him completely, she told him everything—her battle with the Six Horn Fiend Fly, how Long Chen had saved her, and even the fact that Long Chen had used the Heaven Earth Cauldron.

She was too naive and held nothing back.

That revelation stunned the Elder. He questioned her further about Long Chen and warned her not to mention this matter to anyone, claiming it would harm Long Chen.

Qing Yi did not doubt the Elder, thinking that he was a good person.

In reality, the Elder immediately sent word to Li Wanci, reporting that Long Chen was suspected of possessing the primal chaos divine item—the Heaven Earth Cauldron.

At the time, Li Wanci was completely shocked. A nine star heir wielding the Heaven Earth Cauldron? It sounded unbelievable. The Elder himself was unsure of the truth, merely retelling Qing Yi’s account.

At first, Li Wanci did not feel like this information was reliable. She simply ordered the Elder to keep watch while she continued overseeing combat training.

But when Long Chen later arrived at the Starry River Palace, that elder reported again. This time, Li Wanci rushed back immediately.

After Long Chen had swept through the Heaven Rankings, Li Wanci felt suspicious of him. Without a primal chaos divine item, how could a vagrant nine star heir wield such power?

She immediately attempted to capture him, only to be stopped by Qu Liushang. Under the pretense of investigating Long Chen’s unclear background, Li Wanci was even prepared to fight Qu Liushang.

In truth, she wanted only one thing—to confirm whether Long Chen possessed the Heaven Earth Cauldron.

Unfortunately, things didn’t go as she wished. Therefore, she summoned Qing Yi and continued questioning her.

At first, Qing Yi was very cooperative. But when the questions turned toward Long Chen’s private matters, she realized something was wrong and refused to answer further.

No matter how Li Wanci tried to pressure or entice Qing Yi, the latter refused to say anything. Qing Yi even used a soul-locking technique to make it impossible for them to extract this information from her soul.

However, Qing Yi had never expected Li Wanci to be so vicious.

Since Qing Yi refused to cooperate, Li Wanci found a female disciple with spiritual fluctuations similar to Qing Yi’s. Then, she crushed Qing Yi’s Yuan Spirit and left the body intact.

After that, Li Wanci instructed that disciple to possess Qing Yi’s body.

When Qu Yingying and the others returned, “Qing Yi” was waiting for them. Because their spiritual fluctuations were almost identical and that woman was acting well, the Starry River warriors didn’t notice. Even Qu Yingying failed to sense the deception.

This woman took advantage of this and activated the hidden formation, sealing them away.

Even now, they couldn’t believe Qing Yi would betray them.

However, Long Chen knew the truth the moment he saw her.

Qing Yi was already dead.

When Long Chen looked at the Yuan Spirit in his hand, his expression turned feral.

Then, his voice rang throughout the world like the death god’s decree.

“Under my name, Long Chen, I curse your soul! The three worlds shall not accept you. The six Daos shall not permit your existence. You will never be reborn. As long as I live, your soul will burn eternally in the flames of hell!”

The Heavenly Daos rumbled from his roar. Blood-colored threads flew through the world, as if the laws of heaven and earth were obeying Long Chen’s order.

The curse was branded into existence.

When black flames enveloped that woman’s Yuan Spirit, she let out a terrible shriek.

After the black flames had merged with her, Long Chen let go.

The woman’s Yuan Spirit flew back to Li Wanci, wailing.

“Palace Master Wanci, save me!”

Before Li Wanci could act, that woman’s soul was incinerated. Only a trace of smoke remained, scattered by the wind and absorbed by the blood-colored threads before dissolving into heaven and earth.

“Long Chen, you are no better than a beast!” Li Yifeng roared. “How can you be so ruthless to an old friend?! Today, I, Li Yifeng, will purge the Starry River Palace of your evil!”

Eight blazing suns appeared behind Li Yifeng as he thrust a palm toward Long Chen.

“Eight Star Battle Armor!”

Long Chen roared in response, raising his own palm. An astral cross ignited upon it.

BOOM!

The collision was accompanied by an explosion of blood.

Li Yifeng was sent flying back, his arm completely destroyed.

Only then did Li Wanci’s expression finally change.

“Break!”

The moment Long Chen formed a one-handed seal, the eight gates behind him quivered.

Divine light fell onto the Starry River warriors, shattering the chains binding them one by one. They instantly regained their freedom.

“Slaughter them all! Avenge Big Sister Qing Yi!” Long Chen shouted through gnashed teeth.

The order to kill rang out like a final judgment.
