A group of disciples retreated in astonishnt, all gripping their longswords tightly, staring at Ye Qingtian with a look of surprise.
Saint Pen Scholar’s expression changed too, and he said, "Ye Family’s Military Decree? Able to control others’ magical weapons, truly extraordinary. I didn’t expect such a master to be in this small frontier city."
Ye Qingtian fixed his gaze on him and said, "Immortal Envoy, your elder brother has been captured, there’s certainly sothing strange about it, and it’s definitely not my doing. If you trust , give three days to investigate properly, and I will give you a satisfactory answer."
Saint Pen Scholar hissed coldly, "Is it still useful to talk about this now? You defied the Immortal Envoy’s inspection, which is already unforgivable. And now you’ve killed my disciple, how can I cooperate with you?"
Ye Qingtian felt annoyed, thinking this Saint Pen Scholar was a muddlehead, can’t even distinguish things this simple.
At this mont, family elders from the Ye Family rushed over to support.
There were also clan leaders from various families, disciples from the City Defense Camp, all coming over with swords.
In an instant, over a hundred masters and three thousand disciples with swords ca to reinforce, encircling Saint Pen Scholar’s group entirely.
Saint Pen Scholar glared all around and shouted coldly, "Ye Qingtian, you really intend to rebel?"
Ye Qingtian said solemnly, "I just want to seek justice."
Saint Pen Scholar cursed loudly, "What justice? You Celestial Mystery City secretly burned accounts, hindered our investigation. You even sent people to capture my brother at midnight, took advantage of the opportunity to fight us, then tried to kill us to cover up all your filthy deeds, is this your justice, Ye Qingtian?"
Ye Qingcheng ca over at this mont, jumped onto her father’s carriage, pointed her longsword at Saint Pen Scholar, and shouted, "Nonsense, my father is not like that. You, the Immortal Envoy, are abusing your position, simply trying to extort us for benefits. I warn you, my master is the Holy Mother of the Yaochi Sacred Land. Think carefully before you act against us."
When she spoke, Saint Pen Scholar suspected even more and said, "So, this is your reason for betraying Celestial Realms City? You’ve joined forces with Yaochi Sacred Land?"
"You’re talking nonsense!"
Ye Qingcheng’s face turned red instantly, unable to argue against those who fight in power struggles.
Ye Qingtian frowned and said, "My daughter is just defending , without any other intentions. Immortal Envoy, aren’t you willing to listen to our explanation now?"
Saint Pen Scholar’s face darkened, "I’ll listen, as long as you cooperate obediently, we can cooperate. First, you must lay down your weapons, let us detain you for investigation. If you’re innocent, we’ll release you. If you don’t comply, we have reason to suspect you’re plotting sothing."
"I also suspect you’re plotting against my father!"
Ye Qingcheng shouted furiously.
Ye Qingtian stopped her, carefully thinking, feeling there must be so misunderstanding here.
If he confronted them head-on now, he would certainly fall into the enemy’s trap.
Just as he was about to agree, suddenly a sound of a space-breaking arrow rushed towards Saint Pen Scholar.
Ye Qingtian shouted in alarm, "Careful!"
His longsword shone, emitting a force of suction, enveloping the long arrow.
But no matter how fast the arrow was, its force was too great, even at Ye Qingtian’s level of the Ye Family’s Military Decree, it was too much to handle.
Despite Saint Pen Scholar’s cultivation level sensing it, he hurriedly painted in the void with his brush.
Buzz, buzz, buzz.
Several shields appeared in front of him, swirling like a vortex protecting him.
Everything happened in an instant, followed by a series of explosions, boom, boom, boom.
These defensive shields were broken one after another.
The arrow grazed Saint Pen Scholar’s waist, the imnse pressure sent him flying.
The arrow hit the ground with a thunderous crash.
The imnse arrow force shattered the ground, rolled up a massive shockwave, engulfing over ten disciples of the Soul Ascension Stage, bang, bang, bang, they exploded into a mist of blood.
Because of Ye Qingtian’s intervention, the arrow slowed slightly.
The re distance allowed Saint Pen Scholar to dodge and escape disaster.
Now he definitely didn’t believe Ye Qingtian, yelling at his disciples, "Rebellion, these people have rebelled. Fight your way out, bring the army over from Tianshu City."
"Kill!"
The group of disciples completely let go, being toyed with repeatedly, how could they still cooperate with Ye Qingtian?
The longswords whipped up, hundreds of disciples imdiately battled with the surrounding Celestial Mystery City disciples.
Ye Qingtian shouted frantically, "Stop, all of you stop, this is the enemy’s plot, they’re deliberately trying to provoke our conflict!"
Saint Pen Scholar cursed loudly, "Stop spouting nonsense, you sinister person, still trying to deceive us?"
He flung his brush, like a long whip, sweeping out a rainbow of light towards Ye Qingtian.
Ye Qingtian protected his daughter, shouted loudly, "Stubborn fools, you deserve to die!"
His longsword whipped up, with a boom, Sword Qi crisscrossed tens of ters, entangling with the golden rainbow.
In the shadows, soone retracted the previous arrow, cursed angrily, "Damn, what technique is this that can interfere with my Overlord Arrow!"
Soone whispered, "Ye Family’s Military Decree!"
"Hmm?"
"Let’s go, to the Ye Family!"
"Rob them!"
"..."
A group of shadows disappeared imdiately, taking advantage of the chaos to head to the Ye Family.
Half of Celestial Realms City’s disciples are of Divinity Transformation Realm, incredibly powerful.
But Celestial Mystery City’s elders are nurous too, plus help from clan leaders, they matched them evenly.
The outer city fought as one, as more and more people gathered.
Disciples from various families all ca to help, over tens of thousands encircled the hundreds of Celestial Realms City’s disciples inside to fight.
The Welco Guest Building and various houses within about ten miles were completely reduced to rubble.
Fires blazed everywhere, screams filled the air.
While cultivators fought, mortals suffered.
Ordinary people on the street were either crushed beneath buildings or engulfed in roaring fires.
The peaceful outer city turned into hell on earth.
The battle lasted until dawn, half of Celestial Realms City’s disciples were killed.
The remaining Divinity Transformation Realm disciples were covered in blood.
No matter how high their cultivation, under pressure from old n of equal level and the endless onslaught of Celestial Mystery disciples, their Essence, Qi, and Spirit quickly depleted, barely holding on.
Saint Pen Scholar saw this, knowing he couldn’t defeat so many people, his eyes reddened, he activated a Space-breaking Talisman, and shouted to his disciples, "Everyone retreat separately, I’ll go request reinforcents."
His figure vanished into the night sky.
The disciples were already exhausted bows, when he left, they were leaderless, they scattered everywhere.
Originally gathered, they were still a force, when separated their weakness was evident.
By daylight, most disciples were slaughtered, leaving five or six who surrendered, and three or four unaccounted for.
Though victorious in battle.
Ye Qingtian felt no joy, instead sat in despair on the ruins of the Welco Guest Building, watching the smoke rise in all directions, he roared furiously, "Who exactly is scheming against us?"
He thought his doom was sealed, having slain the Immortal Envoy, ant rebellion.
The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals of Celestial Realms City are stationed in Tianshu City.
Once Saint Pen Scholar brings the army back, Celestial Mystery City will be destroyed.
