A trendously powerful aura erupted from Yang Tianji’s body, as the light of the sun and moon illuminated the world with an imposing grandeur. Then, with one step from the mountaintop, he soared forward.
The imperial court, sect alliance, martial arts academy disciples, and noble family scions all rose into the air, following closely behind Yang Tianji.
Two leading figures positioned themselves on either side of the group, with another leader at the rear.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
Before long, beneath the ethereal clouds, mighty roars of beasts suddenly erged; their fierce aura surged upwards, stirring the clouds into a boiling frenzy.
"Today, as I, Yang Mou, pass through, I ask all great demons to give way. Otherwise, there will be no rcy!"
Yang Tianji shouted, his voice rolling like thunder, shaking heaven and earth.
With these words, the beastly roars imdiately subsided, with everything returning to normal.
This was the power of Yang Tianji.
With a single command, he subdued a multitude of demons!
Those following behind Yang Tianji were mostly relieved yet fortunate.
About half an hour later.
The group had delved deep into the mountain range.
A towering mountain, shrouded in mist, faintly appeared in everyone’s view.
Compared to the surrounding mountains, this one was taller, its peak not visible, and it was vast, covering an imnse area. In Ye Chen’s judgent, the base of Lingyun Mountain was probably as large as the entire county city of Unrivaled County.
This is the might of heaven and earth.
Yang Tianji led the group to descend and landed at the mountain’s base.
By the mountain’s foot, they saw soldiers in armor, all stern and expressionless, with resolute faces.
Ye Chen recognized the army’s origin; it was the Dragon Guard army that participated in the recent battle in Demon Suppression Valley.
This Dragon Guard army’s Grand Commander, Qin Hao, flew over, stood before Yang Tianji, and clasped his hands, saying, "Elder Yang, everything has been peaceful recently. Additionally, the people from the Great Qin Dynasty and Great Ming Dynasty have arrived. Now, only the Great Shang Dynasty and the Thousand Spirits Sect are yet to arrive."
Yang Tianji nodded and replied, "We’ll wait for another half a day. After half a day, whether they arrive or not, we shall imdiately open Lingyun Mountain!"
Thereafter.
Everyone found a place to rest.
Ye Chen went off by himself to a more distant area and contacted Luo Qingyi.
Inside the Sword Tomb.
Luo Qingyi presented the outside scene to Tian Can.
Then, Tian Can’s voice resonated in Ye Chen’s mind.
"Here at Lingyun Mountain, the power of heaven and earth flows, naturally forming a great array. Nourished by the concentrated power of this array, everything on Lingyun Mountain remains exactly as it was ten thousand years ago, without any change.
The rocks here are exceedingly hard; without Heaven-Reaching Realm strength, it’s challenging to inflict any damage on Lingyun Mountain.
Boy, the Holy Source Grass is at the mountain top, but not at the very peak. It’s in a cave near the summit, with a large red rock outside the cave.
Inside the cave, there’s an array I ntioned to you before. Follow the array diagram I drew for you, and you’ll quickly find the Holy Source Grass.
As I said before, if you wish to use that array against enemies, weigh whether you can leave the mont the array’s power erupts. If not, do not act rashly, or you might get yourself killed."
Ye Chen communicated back to Tian Can through spiritual power, asking, "Master Legs, see if there are other things you casually left behind back then."
A mont later, Tian Can’s voice resounded once more, "I seem to rember, at the mountain top, I planted a poison, seemingly quite potent, but I can’t recall the specifics. I just tossed it there. When you reach the summit and encounter that poison, I will definitely rember!"
Ye Chen acknowledged, well then, let’s see when we reach the summit.
At this mont.
Yang Tianji suddenly ca with soone towards Ye Chen.
"Teacher."
Ye Chen greeted, then looked at the person Yang Tianji brought, with a puzzled expression. This person was the only female from the imperial court team.
The lady was quite attractive, with a distinctive aura. Her strength was not weak either; Ye Chen had already observed using Martial Arts True Eye, she was at the Third Layer of Transcendence.
At the Great Zhou Martial Arts Academy, the highest cultivation realm was also the Third Layer of Transcendence, like Han Qianshan.
"Zhou Yanran, greets Young Master Ye."
The lady proactively greeted Ye Chen.
Ye Chen slightly frowned, the surna Zhou?
This is the royal family’s surna. After the founding of the Great Zhou, anyone else with the surna Zhou within the nation’s borders changed their surna, thus this woman must be from the imperial family!
Yang Tianji saw Ye Chen’s attitude and was a bit helpless.
This disciple of his, in all ways excellent, was simply too straightforward, unable to tolerate any flaws. He held so grievances towards certain royal family mbers, thus he wasn’t fond of the entire imperial family.
"Ye Chen, Yanran is the Eldest Prince’s daughter, and the Eldest Prince happens to be sowhat like a half-disciple of mine."
With that said, Ye Chen’s furrowed brows relaxed.
He knew the Eldest Prince; in the Great Zhou Dynasty, his reputation was excellent. He was supposed to be made Crown Prince, but he died in an accident a few years ago.
The Eldest Prince’s daughter seed to be around the sa age as the Sixth Prince Zhou Chengqian, which was quite normal.
After all, cultivators have long lifespans, they can choose when to have offspring. In this world, so ancient beings have four or five generations. If they get the urge, those old ancestors might have a few more children.
Zhou Yanran noticed Ye Chen’s hostility seed to have dissipated considerably. She breathed a sigh of relief but beca frustrated again as Ye Chen remained silent.
Yang Tianji smiled and said, "Yanran, I have sothing to discuss with Ye Chen."
He brought Zhou Yanran along just to make their relationship familiar. He believed Ye Chen had understood the aning.
As for the relationship between Ye Chen and Zhou Yanran, he’d leave it to them, and wouldn’t force Ye Chen.
"Elder Yang, I shall take my leave for now."
After speaking, Zhou Yanran left.
After Zhou Yanran departed, Yang Tianji said, "We’re about to enter Lingyun Mountain soon. Any thoughts?"
Ye Chen replied, "Whoever wants to kill , I will kill."
This was Ye Chen’s persistent principle!
To those who don’t provoke trouble, he has no ti to bully them.
But for those who want to stir up trouble, regardless of their identity, just kill first and ask questions later!
Ye Chen continued, "Teacher, what exactly is special about Lingyun Mountain? Why let the young people explore it first? Previously, the fight over Lingyun Mountain was so intense, why does it now seem like the major dynasties don’t care much about it anymore..."
Yang Tianji smiled and said, "Actually, everyone knows the truth. The so-called legacy of a mighty figure from ten thousand years ago in Lingyun Mountain is not real. The true significance of Lingyun Mountain is this super array ford by the natural forces of heaven and earth.
This array contains nurous mysteries.
Whether it’s the practitioners of Martial Dao or Spirit Dao, they can actually gain so insights through this super array.
Around Lingyun Mountain, there are nurous powerful monsters for this very reason.
The things inside the mountain are not too important for the strong, so they simply let the young people venture inside. First, it is to temper the young ones, and second, the things inside may not attract the attention of the strong, but are still aningful to young talents."
So that’s how it is.
It seems that these people haven’t discovered the Holy Source Grass that Master Legs hid.
If they did, they probably wouldn’t think this way.
Master Legs was also an extrely powerful figure back then. How could the things he intentionally hid not be valuable?
This also ans that Master Legs was very skilled at hiding things, as the group of Heaven-Reaching Realm experts from the major dynasties have yet to discover it.
At this mont.
The sound of whistling arose.
A team riding fla beasts descended from the sky.
The leader of the team exuded an incomparably strong aura, pressing downwards.
Yang Tianji snorted coldly, releasing a powerful aura of his own, counteracting the pressure.
"I just received word that the people from the Great Shang Dynasty have arrived, and now the Thousand Spirits Sect has arrived too. Let’s go, gather over there; they’re about to send you inside," Yang Tianji said.
"Where are Yu Hui and Luo Tian?" Ye Chen asked urgently.
Those two haven’t arrived yet.
Yang Tianji smiled and said, "When I ca to find you earlier, they had already arrived."
A smile also appeared at the corner of Ye Chen’s mouth.
Finally, there are two partners I can completely trust!
Then, Ye Chen and Yang Tianji returned to the eting place where everyone was gathered.
"Brother Ye."
Fatty and Luo Tian greeted him when they saw Ye Chen.
Ye Chen also called out, "Brother Fatty, Brother Luo, it’s been a long ti since we fought side by side. I kind of miss it."
They had just joined the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, and during the freshman trials, they tead up and killed the daughter and grandson of Gu Yue from the Celestial Sword Sect. It was precisely because of that incident that the three of them ford a deep friendship.
Ye Chen glanced at the people from the Thousand Spirits Sect, a group who were all very arrogant, holding their heads high, disregarding everyone else.
Let them be.
As long as they don’t try to provoke us.
If they do.
We’ll just kill them too!
At this mont.
Yang Tianji exchanged a few words with the leader from the Thousand Spirits Sect, then suddenly leaped into the air.
Imdiately after.
Three more pressures belonging to the Heaven-Reaching Legendary Realm emanated from other areas.
The Great Qin Dynasty sent two legends, the Great Shang Dynasty sent one, and the Great Ming Dynasty sent none.
Including Yang Tianji, four legends each unleashed a power mark, rging into the front of Lingyun Mountain.
"Boom!"
The clouds and mist around Lingyun Mountain surged rapidly as an invisible barrier was opened.
Astonishing primal energy gushed out from within Lingyun Mountain.
Ye Chen imdiately felt as if he were imrsed in a sea of primal energy, his whole body feeling refreshed, his state soaring to its peak in an instant!
"Enter Lingyun Mountain, co out in seven days, and be responsible for your own life and death after entering the mountain."
Yang Tianji shouted loudly.
The people from the Thousand Spirits Sect were the first to rush in.
mbers of the Imperial Court, Sect Alliance, noble families, including the Martial Arts Academy, all followed one after another.
After everyone went inside.
The array of Lingyun Mountain was sealed again, isolating it from the outside world.
And every person who rushed into the Heaven and Earth Array within Lingyun Mountain felt a sensation of spinning heaven and earth.
This was because the Heaven and Earth Array of Lingyun Mountain had been forcibly opened, and its power impacted them when they entered the mountain.
Everyone’s body was out of control, their formations scattered and disrupted!
Monts later.
Ye Chen finally stabilized himself and landed on the ground.
He looked around, finding it empty, with no one around.
However, just because his eyes didn’t see anyone didn’t an Ye Chen hadn’t noticed.
Soone appeared in the sa place with him and instantly hid.
Although the person hid well.
Ye Chen possessed the power of the Slaughter Sword Montum, and his sense for killing intent was very keen.
The hidden person intended to kill him.
A cold smile appeared at the corner of Ye Chen’s mouth.
In that case, there’s no need to be polite!
Let the slaughter begin from now!
