Ye Qingchen could even slay Lei Ming, so how could he regard Zhao Qinglong as a threat?
However.
Jiang Churan secretly shook her head, full of concern.
She was unaware of the series of events that transpired after leaving the Eastern Domain, so she had no idea of Ye Qingchen’s current strength. But she didn’t make it clear, only thinking that with her present, Zhao Qinglong shouldn’t do anything outrageous.
So she said:
"Alright, both of you traveled across the sea and must be very tired. I’ll instruct the servants to prepare a superior room for you to rest and recover your strength."
"Good!"
Ye Qingchen nodded slightly.
Imdiately.
Jiang Churan ordered soone to tidy up a spacious and bright cabin.
After the two moved in, they imdiately sat cross-legged to cultivate.
After all.
Their consumption was quite severe when resisting the astral wind.
However, for Ye Qingchen.
This bout of astral wind also yielded many benefits. Continuous seven-day resistance greatly pushed his potential, causing his cultivation to progress further, gradually moving towards the Celestial Saint Sixth Layer.
"In three months at most, I will reach the Celestial Saint Sixth Layer!"
Ye Qingchen stroked his chin, thinking secretly.
It should be noted.
At the original pace, it would take at least half a year.
At that mont, a sudden knock on the door interrupted their thoughts.
Su Muzhe quickly stood up to open the door, only to see a maid standing there.
"Young Master Ye, my lady invites you!" The maid bowed slightly and made a gesture of invitation.
Ye Qingchen gave the maid a thoughtful look, then suddenly smiled and said, "Alright!"
"Please follow !"
The maid said and proceeded to lead the way.
Ye Qingchen and Su Muzhe followed closely behind.
The trio wound through maze-like corridors before finally stopping in front of a large door.
The maid pushed open the door, making a gesture of welcoming, "Young Master Ye, my lady is inside, waiting for you!"
Ye Qingchen glanced at the deep, pitch-black doorway and, without any hesitation, stepped inside.
Seeing this, the maid’s eyes suddenly revealed a hint of joy, though it was well-concealed.
Su Muzhe, noticing this, quickly tried to follow, but the maid suddenly stepped forward, closed the door, and blocked his path.
Before Su Muzhe could react, several people erged from the darkness, and as he recognized the leading figure, his pupils shrank in shock, exclaiming:
"It’s you?"
The person was none other than Zhao Qinglong.
Su Muzhe’s expression changed as he looked at the tightly closed door, suddenly thinking of sothing and was about to break in. Just then, the people behind Zhao Qinglong took a step forward and, with an odd formation, encircled Su Muzhe, simultaneously pinching a spell with their right hands.
"Buzz!"
A soft humming sound suddenly echoed in the void.
A light burst from the bodies of the five simultaneously, accompanied by a surge of vigorous aura, so as scorching as fire, so as solid as the earth, so as enduring as water, so as tenacious as wood, and so as sharp and unstoppable as a sword.
"Five Elents Array?"
Su Muzhe was taken aback.
"That’s right, it’s the Five Elents Array!" Zhao Qinglong looked at Su Muzhe with satisfaction and said, "I didn’t expect you to recognize this array."
"You used this array to trap and lured Young Master Ye into the cabin!" Su Muzhe squinted, staring coldly at Zhao Qinglong, and asked deliberately, "What exactly do you want?"
"What do I want? Naturally, I want you dead!" Zhao Qinglong laughed wildly, "Did you think with Jiang Churan’s protection, you’d have nothing to fear? I have hundreds of ways to kill you! Each one would make your life worse than death!"
Hearing this, Su Muzhe’s expression darkened, and he felt imnse self-reproach in his heart.
Because the fleet’s owner was Jiang Churan, and he and Ye Qingchen were old acquaintances, he had naturally let his guard down, not expecting to fall into such a simple trap.
"You needn’t worry. Once Elder Zhao arrives, you’ll be next!" Zhao Qinglong sneered, "With Elder Zhao and over a dozen death warriors from my family, even Ye Qingchen won’t be able to escape!"
"Elder Zhao, the Celestial Saint Sixth Layer elder in a black robe from earlier? And those people from earlier today?" Su Muzhe was stunned, "You used them against Young Master Ye?"
Watching Zhao Qinglong’s confident deanor, even with Su Muzhe’s experience, his eyes couldn’t help but radiate boundless mockery.
...
anwhile.
Ye Qingchen walked into the cabin with his hands behind his back.
This part of the cabin was enormous, several hundred steps in all directions, resembling a cavernous hall. Bright lights illuminated everything, allowing one to see the layout at a glance. At the far end of the cabin stood a group of intimidating cultivators.
The person leading them was none other than the black-robed elder they had encountered on deck earlier—Elder Zhao!
"Ye Qingchen, we et again!"
Seeing Ye Qingchen enter, Elder Zhao, who had been standing with folded arms, laughed aloud: "I didn’t expect you to be so foolish to take the bait so easily!"
"Take the bait?"
Ye Qingchen raised an eyebrow.
"Indeed, did you really think Jiang Churan invited you? It was just us using her na!" Elder Zhao calmly looked at Ye Qingchen as if a butcher was assessing a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, filled with mockery. "Do you know, your life or death now depends on my whim!"
As his words fell, the cultivators behind him stepped forward simultaneously, muscles tense like leopards ready to pounce at any mont.
However.
The look on Ye Qingchen’s face wasn’t one of fear or anxiety as Elder Zhao had imagined. Instead, he stood there with unfazed composure, even showing a hint of mockery.
"You’re not afraid?"
Elder Zhao raised an eyebrow. "Or are you waiting for Su Muzhe to rescue you?"
"He is probably already trapped by the array, unable to save you!"
"Why should I be afraid?" Ye Qingchen said with a half-smile, looking at the other side. "Did you think such petty tricks could fool ? I already noticed sothing off about the maid you sent to bring !"
Ye Qingchen shook his head secretly.
Zhao Qinglong thought his sche was brilliant, but little did he know that Ye Qingchen had seen through it all along.
What?
Elder Zhao was stunned, seemingly unable to believe his ears.
"Since you saw through it, why did you dare co in?"
"I ca in rely to see what thods you’d use against , but I didn’t expect it to be this trivial." Ye Qingchen shook his head as he spoke, "I originally didn’t intend to bother with you, but you’ve repeatedly provoked . Do you really think I am that easily bullied?"
"Ye Qingchen, you’re facing death yet dare to be insolent in front of ?"
Elder Zhao said coldly.
To him, Ye Qingchen entering the cabin ant he was already trapped, with no chance of leaving, and should be begging for his life. But instead, he was this brazen, making it impossible for Elder Zhao to contain his fury.
"n, kill him for !"
Bang!
As his words fell, the death warriors behind Elder Zhao surged forward like a tide.
"Just you?"
Watching them charge, Ye Qingchen sneered disdainfully.
"Alright then!"
"In that case, let show you my skills!"
After speaking.
Ye Qingchen suddenly took a step forward.
This step was like a deep abyss, like a towering mountain!
