"Young Master Ye possesses great divine techniques!"
Zhao Jing quickly retorted.
In his heart, Ye Qingchen should be like a Sword Immortal; how could he allow others to insult him like this?
To be able to slay the Netherworld Giant Eagle with one stroke, do you dare to call him useless?
"Hmph!"
The woman, aware of her slip of the tongue, was proud and naturally unwilling to apologize to Ye Qingchen for one word.
More than that, earlier, she saw with her own eyes how Hong Man and Jiang Churan fought the Red Fla Demon Tiger, while Ye Qingchen stood by watching, not even intending to lend a hand.
Such a person, she utterly looked down upon.
"Who are you people?"
Ye Qingchen glanced at the other party.
He noticed.
The woman and the few youths behind her were dressed in the sa attire, appearing to co from the sa place.
"We are disciples of the Youquan Sect of Daqian Country, and this is our senior sister Feng Wan!" a young man said proudly. "You don’t even know our Youquan Sect, yet you dare to co to Two Realms Mountain?"
As he spoke, his gaze swept over Ye Qingchen, clearly annoyed that this guy didn’t appreciate beauty and didn’t dare to make a move when his companions fought the Red Fla Demon Tiger.
But what did he know? Although the Red Fla Demon Tiger was ferocious, Ye Qingchen knew Jiang Churan had confidence in winning, which was why he did not take action.
"Alright, Zhu Dong, enough!" Feng Wan gestured, slinging the large bow over her shoulder, and looked at Ye Qingchen again: "Since you’re here to explore Two Realms Mountain, have you discovered anything?"
"Nothing at all!" Ye Qingchen shook his head.
He suspected the beast tide was not a natural disaster but a man-made one.
And he didn’t know whether these people were friends or foes, so he didn’t voice it.
Feng Wan pondered for a mont before saying, "We’re also here to investigate the demonic aura of Two Realms Mountain. Since we’ve t, it’s fate. Why don’t we travel together?"
For a mont, Hong Man and Jiang Churan both looked to Ye Qingchen.
Ye Qingchen nodded and said, "Alright!"
With that, the two parties joined forces to explore Two Realms Mountain.
Though there was a bit of friction before, they were all young, and Feng Wan had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Soon everyone beca familiar, turning hostility into friendship.
It must be said.
The disciples of Youquan Sect were more familiar with Two Realms Mountain, leading Ye Qingchen in search of the source of the beast tide. In just a few days, they had traversed a large part of Two Realms Mountain.
At night.
Everyone gathered around a bonfire.
Disciples of the Youquan Sect caught rabbits from the mountains, and soon the scent of roasting filled the air, inviting everyone to join the feast.
"Miss Churan, for you!"
Zhu Dong eagerly handed a roasted rabbit to Jiang Churan.
"Ye Qingchen isn’t here yet, let’s give him the rabbit at first!"
Jiang Churan took the rabbit at, noticed Ye Qingchen wasn’t around, and quickly got up to walk over.
Zhu Dong’s face turned sullen.
The past few days, he had been trying to win over Jiang Churan’s favor, but she was unmoved by his overtures. Now, even the rabbit at he offered, she was giving to Ye Qingchen first.
For a mont, jealousy burned in his heart.
"I just don’t understand what Miss Churan sees in that embroidered pillow!"
"What did you say?"
Hong Man, sitting cheerfully to one side, heard this and his expression instantly changed, imdiately reprimanding.
Though.
Over these days, the attitudes of the Youquan Sect disciples had sowhat improved. But he wasn’t a fool; he could naturally feel that they harbored so covert animosity towards Ye Qingchen.
After speaking, he snorted coldly, tossed his rabbit at heavily to the ground, and turned away.
Ye Qingchen had saved his life several tis; how could he allow others to badmouth him here?
"Sigh, Young Master Ye possesses great divine techniques! How can you not believe it?"
Zhao Jing sighed deeply.
Ye Qingchen was investigating the source of the beast tide on behalf of Yun Gu City; Ye Qingchen’s disdain equated to their Yun Gu City being underestimated. How could he stand idly by? He too gently set down the rabbit at and walked towards the distant Ye Qingchen.
Left standing there, Zhu Dong’s face shifted from blue to red to pale.
He first faced rejection, then reprimand from Hong Man, and now even Zhao Jing, an ordinary person, paid him no heed. How could he swallow this?
"What kind of divine techniques? I think he’s just an embroidered pillow! These days in Two Realms Mountain, I’ve never seen him take action!"
Zhu Dong nearly ground his teeth to dust.
"Exactly, for him to reach the Spiritual Sea Seventh Heaven is unbelievable! I suspect his cultivation must have been boosted by outside forces! Such cultivation ans nothing!"
"In my opinion, he’s either a child of a prominent family or an illegitimate child of a sect’s big figure!"
"What nonsense Taotian Palace; I’ve never heard of such a sect in Celestial Peak Country. Who knows where he erged from!"
Other disciples joined in agreent.
As they all belonged to the sa sect, naturally, they sided with Zhu Dong, not with Ye Qingchen.
To know.
Cultivators have many thods to quickly enhance their cultivation within a short period. However, such cultivation enhancents are superficial and useless; when they take action, their true abilities are exposed instantly.
Even Feng Wan looked displeased.
She recruited Ye Qingchen and his group into the team mainly because she saw how laboriously they dealt with the Red Fla Demon Tiger and wanted to lend them a hand. Yet, they showed no appreciation!
This incident imdiately created a disharmonious atmosphere.
There was no further communication between the two parties; even when they stopped to rest, they stayed far apart.
Ye Qingchen, as usual, did not engage when encountering monsters, leaving Hong Man and Jiang Churan with the opportunity to gain experience, while he spent all his ti observing the Two Realms Mountain.
However, he felt a prickling sensation on his back, as if soone was secretly watching him. But every ti he tried to search, the sensation instantly vanished.
The more it happened, the more the mbers of the Youquan Sect looked down on Ye Qingchen.
Yet, they did not know there was a pair of eyes secretly watching them.
"So, Ye Qingchen has entered the Two Realms Mountain!"
"Haha, we were worrying about not finding you... Who would’ve thought that you would deliver yourself!"
"Report this matter to the Third Floor Master imdiately!"
The owner of those eyes remained hidden and did not reveal himself.
Instead, he sent a flying pigeon letter to the outside world.
Although Hong Man and the others were indignant, since Ye Qingchen ignored them, they could only drop it too.
Another half day passed.
Finally, everyone reached the last valley of the Two Realms Mountain.
"We’ve searched everywhere in the Two Realms Mountain, except for this place! Surely, the source of the beast tide is here!"
Feng Wan was extrely excited.
She imdiately wanted to lead the disciples of the Youquan Sect into the valley.
Originally, Ye Qingchen also planned to enter, but suddenly he paused, frowning slightly, as he noticed that the valley did not possess the intense demonic aura he imagined but manifested a strange dead silence instead.
And as he approached the valley, the prickling sensation grew even stronger.
"Wait! There’s sothing wrong with this valley!"
He hurriedly spoke up.
"What’s wrong with it?"
The mbers of the Youquan Sect already had a grudge against Ye Qingchen, and they imdiately began to laugh at his words: "Ye Qingchen, I think you’re just a coward, afraid to enter the valley!"
"Haha, you ca here to investigate the source of the beast tide, and now you don’t dare to go in? What kind of cultivator are you?"
Despite their ridicule, Ye Qingchen remained silent, his eyes scanning the surroundings; then he lowered his eyes, saying gravely: "However, I advise you to leave as quickly as possible because sothing dangerous will happen here soon!"
Hahaha!
No sooner had he finished speaking than many people nearby burst into laughter.
"Even if there is danger, what is there to fear?" Feng Wan snorted coldly, disdainfully.
Zhu Dong, with a mocking expression, added, "Tell us, what kind of danger?"
"Yeah, you’re just being alarmist."
"That’s right, even if there is danger, we’re not afraid!"
The many disciples of the Youquan Sect were full of mockery, clearly not taking Ye Qingchen’s words to heart.
"Since you are seeking death yourselves, don’t bla !" Ye Qingchen took a long look at Feng Wan and then stopped paying attention to her.
"What did you say?"
Feng Wan was incensed at his words, preparing to retort.
Suddenly, a burst of wild laughter echoed through the void:
"Ye Qingchen, dicine cannot cure a deadly disease, and Buddha only saves those with predestined affinity. You cannot even protect yourself, yet you’re worried about others?"
As the voice faded.
Under the shocked gaze of Feng Wan and the others.
A vast black flash of light tore through the void, resembling a mass of burning black fla, as if it intended to scorch the surrounding air.
Within just a few monts, it had fallen before everyone’s eyes.
The flash dispersed, revealing a tall, sinister-looking man.
"Who are you?"
Ye Qingchen squinted his eyes.
The unfriendly do not co, and the friendly do not arrive.
This person’s deanor clearly showed he was here for him.
The newcor waved a long sleeve, speaking coldly:
"Gold dal Assassin from Blood Rain Tower, Dark Fla!"
Boom!
As soon as he said this, an unlimited killing intent spread from his body, sending the surrounding gusts into a panic.
