Looking at the countless figures blocking out the sun, feeling the immense aura displayed in the air, everyone showed a look of confusion.

Ten Thousand Gods Sect!

Why are they here?

And in such a menacing manner?

"Ye Qingchen, you’ve made me search so hard for you! You never thought we would come here, did you!"

The elder leading them scanned the surroundings and directly locked eyes on Ye Qingchen, who was sitting cross-legged in the valley.

The resounding voice echoed throughout the whole valley!

"Isn’t that Lin Tongfeng, the Hall Master of the Assassination Hall of Ten Thousand Gods Sect?"

"A Half-Step Human Immortal powerhouse!"

"Did he bring so many disciples just for Ye Qingchen?"

The talents who were initially prepared to leave were in an uproar upon hearing these words, and they all looked at Ye Qingchen with perplexed expressions, not knowing what had happened!

Only Zhou Hai in the square changed his expression, clenching his fists tightly, his nails digging into his palms without realizing it.

"Lin Tongfeng? The Hall Master of the Assassination Hall of Ten Thousand Gods Sect!"

"Has the revenge of the Ten Thousand Gods Sect finally arrived?"

...

"The Ten Thousand Gods Sect dares to intrude on Taotian Palace’s territory and disrupt our grand selection?"

Murderous intent flashed in Su Moran’s eyes.

"Elder Su, wait a moment!"

However, just as Su Moran was about to step forward, Zhang Nanxuan, who had been grim-faced, suddenly showed a trace of mockery in his eyes and directly stood out to stop her.

Faced with Su Moran’s confused face, Zhang Nanxuan grinned and said, "Don’t forget, the sect has rules. No matter what changes occur during the selection, no one is allowed to intervene!"

"Moreover, these people from the Ten Thousand Gods Sect are here for Ye Qingchen!"

"Elder Su, the selection is not over yet. You wouldn’t want to play favorites and help Ye Qingchen win the selection, would you?"

"You..."

Su Moran’s eyes flashed with anger, but then she suddenly thought of something. Her brow relaxed, and she smiled faintly. "Fine, I won’t interfere!"

...

Celestial Secret Mountain.

Valley.

Everyone was staring at the sky, at the sudden arrival of Lin Tongfeng and the people from the Ten Thousand Gods Sect.

Their aggressive aura and overwhelming killing intent made everyone feel that something bad was about to happen.

Especially when Lin Tongfeng spoke those words.

In an instant.

Everyone in the valley fixed their gaze on Ye Qingchen.

Many who sensed trouble brewing looked at Lin Tongfeng’s almost murderous gaze and retreated several steps in alarm.

Lu Yanwu and Lin Shifei also widened their eyes, not knowing what had happened.

And those who were preparing to leave, such as Wu Xingyun, Tuoba Ye, Sun Wuming, etc., suddenly realized something, their gazes on Ye Qingchen filled with either amusement, anticipation, or mockery.

Only Ye Qingchen’s expression remained unchanged.

He slightly raised his head, scanning the people in the sky, and said calmly:

"Ten Thousand Gods Sect, I never thought you’d dare to come looking for trouble again?"

"Hahaha!"

Lin Tongfeng laughed in extreme anger, the murderous intent in his eyes intense, almost becoming tangible.

"Ye Qingchen, all 172 members of my sect perished at your hands! How could I not come? Even if I have to chase you to the ends of the earth, I won’t let you go for killing my sect’s disciples."

"One hundred seventy-two people!"

"This blood debt must be repaid with blood!"

Rumble!

When Lin Tongfeng said this, there was an uproar.

For a moment.

All eyes on Ye Qingchen were filled with shock.

"No wonder the Ten Thousand Gods Sect came with such fanfare!"

"Turns out, Ye Qingchen slaughtered 172 disciples of the Ten Thousand Gods Sect. No wonder they came so aggressively, seemingly unstoppable!"

"I wonder, what will Ye Qingchen do?"

Immediately.

From all directions, exclamations and shocks erupted.

"Heh, it seems... the title of the first in the Taotian Palace selection is not yet set!" Sun Wuming’s eyes lit up, "Once Ye Qingchen dies, this Golden Bell will surely become ownerless, and there will be another scramble!"

"I never expected that a selection, seemingly settled, would suddenly have such a twist!"

Some astute talents had already thought of the consequences brought by this event.

Indeed.

Many people knew that Ye Qingchen had withstood two palms from Zhang Nanxuan in the square. But no one thought that was Zhang Nanxuan’s full strength, and no one believed Ye Qingchen already possessed the confidence to contend against a Human Immortal!

Even though.

Lin Tongfeng, the Hall Master of Earth Kill Hall, was only at the Half-Step Human Immortal level.

He was still much stronger than Ye Qingchen!

"So what?"

Ye Qingchen slowly raised his head, staring at Lin Tongfeng without any fear. "Your Ten Thousand Gods Sect wants to bloodwash the Barbaric Continent, and you think I can stand by and do nothing?"

"He who kills shall be killed!"

...

"That Ye Qingchen, he’s actually from the lower realm!"

The square was buzzing with chatter.

"No wonder, I’ve always felt this person seemed to have sprung from nowhere. Turns out he’s not from the Kunlun Realm but from the Barbaric Continent below!"

Above the clouds, several assessment elders exchanged glances, eyes filled with surprise.

One must know.

Ye Qingchen’s reputation spread incredibly fast and loud. He had already caught the attention of Taotian Palace’s upper echelon, yet despite their investigations, no trace of Ye Qingchen could be found.

Who would have thought, the other party was from the lower realm.

If this is true, then Ye Qingchen’s potential and talent are truly terrifying!

For a moment.

The several assessment elders were all silently moved, lost in thought.

"What do you intend to do? Intervene in the selection?" Zhang Nanxuan saw many had already shown signs of wanting to intervene and immediately called out sternly, "Don’t forget, the sect has rules, no one is allowed to interfere with the selection!"

"This is trouble Ye Qingchen brought upon himself, he should resolve it himself! Even if he is strong enough to win the selection, so what? He can only blame his bad luck for running into the Ten Thousand Gods Sect seeking revenge!"

Zhang Nanxuan spoke harshly.

Seeing disaster looming over Ye Qingchen, how could he be willing to let others save him? It was something he absolutely did not want to see!

"Ye Qingchen, let’s see how you die?" Seeing he had stabilized the crowd, Zhang Nanxuan looked at the light screen with a face full of mockery, "I underestimated you before, didn’t use my full strength to kill you directly! I missed an opportunity! Now, with the Ten Thousand Gods Sect coming to kill, let’s see how you get through this calamity!"

...

In the valley.

The crowd became even more uproarious.

Evidently.

They also did not expect that Ye Qingchen was from the Barbaric Continent.

However, they were more eager to know.

How Ye Qingchen would withstand the overwhelming force of the Ten Thousand Gods Sect.

"He who kills, shall be killed?"

Lin Tongfeng’s face twitched fiercely, and the killing intent in his eyes deepened.

"In my eyes, those from the lower realm are nothing more than ants. Kill them, so what, how dare you kill our Ten Thousand Gods Sect disciples for those ants?"

"Yes, and in my eyes, aren’t your Ten Thousand Gods Sect disciples nothing more than ants?" Ye Qingchen casually waved his hand, "I killed them, so what!"

"What did you say?"

Lin Tongfeng’s face changed drastically.

And behind him, those nearly thousand disciples also became enraged.

"How dare you!"

"Insolent!"

"You dare to speak like this, I swear, I will kill you today!"

"Why are you wasting words, kill him directly, skin him, extract his tendons, and seize his soul! Let them know the might of our Ten Thousand Gods Sect!"

These disciples of the Ten Thousand Gods Sect could not swallow this down after hearing Ye Qingchen speak like this?

At this moment.

Fury erupted all around.

Who cares if he’s the first in the selection, who cares if he’s skilled in Dual Cultivation of Pills and Martial Arts.

"Ye Qingchen!"

Lin Tongfeng roared, his shout causing the entire valley to tremble violently.

"If I don’t kill you today, I am not a man!"

"Today, I will use your blood to mourn over the 172 disciples of the Ten Thousand Gods Sect who died!"

After speaking.

He suddenly raised his hand, pointing directly at Ye Qingchen:

"Kill!"

Boom!

In an instant.

Nearly a thousand disciples of the Ten Thousand Gods Sect surged forth like caged beasts, rushing headlong in a frenzy. Their aggressive advance looked like a vast tide from afar.

Almost blocking out the sky!

Even a Human Immortal, under such a terrifying assault, would retreat in face of it!

Seeing this scene.

The many prodigies of the valley were already frightened, all fleeing toward the outside of the valley.

Ye Qingchen looked at that overwhelming momentum, yet his expression remained unchanged, and his chilling voice echoed through the surroundings:

"Want to kill me?"

"Then let’s see if you have the skill to do it!"

Boom!

As the words fell.

Ye Qingchen suddenly stood up.

In that instant.

He was like a divine sword unsheathed, its sharpness uncontainable. Like a Holy Mountain rising from the ground, piercing through the clouds, soaring to the skies!
