The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 1413 - 1404: Ants Will Always Be Ants

Northern Desolate Wasteland.

Shui Ziyan, Shui Menghan, Su Bingshuan, and Liang Zuoyi were the first to emerge from the black whirlpool.

Upon seeing their important disciples unscathed, the leader of the Shuis, Lei Wunian, and the leader of the Wanyue Pavilion, Zhou Fu’an, relaxed their anxious expressions slightly.

After Shui Ziyan and the others successfully exited the Ancient Divine Demon Cemetery, Ning Xuening and Ning Xuesong followed shortly after, making the leader of the Hanbing Sect, Ning Hongfei, also let out a sigh of relief.

At present, only the Yinming Sect and the Hundred Beasts Sect had no disciples come out, and with two hours nearly up, even with the support of the leaders of the five major sects, the black whirlpool was rapidly shrinking. Just as it was about to completely disappear, a shadow flashed out at the last moment.

The shadow was Jiang Motian, who killed Yang Shatian, Wang Mulei, and Wang Qian. At the moment, his appearance was extremely disheveled, as he was desperately suppressing the energy within his body, with lines of blood cracks on his skin. However, he managed to suppress the energy well enough that others assumed Jiang Motian was severely injured.

Song Chunmei, seeing her last disciple emerge alive, finally felt relieved, while Wang Muyan, another leader of the Yinming Sect, looked at the now vanished black whirlpool and shouted at Jiang Motian: "Where’s my grandson, Wang Qian? Why hasn’t he come out?"

Jiang Motian took a breath and said, "How would I know? I barely made it out alive myself; how could I care about anyone else?"

On the other hand, Ji Fengde, the leader of the Hundred Beasts Sect, wore a sullen expression, his eyes filled with anger, demanding, "What happened to our two sons? No disciple from the Hundred Beasts Sect made it out alive? What on earth happened?"

Two disciples who entered the ruins from the Hundred Beasts Sect, Ji Gao and Ji Yun, were Ji Fengde’s sons, which explained his erratic emotions.

Lei Wunian from the Shuis looked at Shui Ziyan and asked, "Zi Yan, tell us what happened."

Thus, Shui Ziyan briefly explained the situation, mentioning that Ji Gao and Ji Yun were probably killed by disciples of the Blood Sect. When Shui Ziyan mentioned the Blood Soul Clan, the leaders of the five major sects all showed slight changes in their expressions.

Zhou Fu’an, the leader of Wanyue Pavilion, said in a low voice, "I once briefly read about the Blood Soul Clan in an ancient book, but am not too clear on the details, only knowing they appeared in the Ancient Era. Are there really living Blood Soul Clan members in this ruin?"

The other four sect leaders, although unaware of the specific origins of the Blood Soul Clan, knew they existed in the Ancient Era. To them, this ruin was truly not simple!

After the atmosphere lingered awkwardly for several seconds, Lei Wunian from the Shuis said, "Since the ruin has already collapsed, there’s no need for us to stay here. We should all disperse!"

After understanding the general events, everyone quickly dispersed, leaving only Shui Ziyan, Shui Menghan, Su Bingshuan, and Liang Zuoyi behind, as they still wanted to stay and observe.

Shui Menghan lay quietly in Shui Ziyan’s arms after being knocked unconscious by her, and suddenly, her eyelids trembled a few times, slowly opening her eyes, her mind still somewhat muddled. Remembering the events before her unconsciousness, she immediately grabbed Shui Ziyan’s arm urgently, asking, "Sis, where is Brother Ye? Where are we?"

Shui Ziyan bit her lip and said, "Menghan, we have already left the ruin, and the entrance has completely collapsed."

Shui Menghan broke free from Shui Ziyan’s embrace, asking blankly, "You’re saying Brother Ye is still inside the ruin? Brother Ye can never come out again?"

Shui Ziyan touched Shui Menghan’s head and said, "I’m afraid the space within the ruin has also completely collapsed, and the chances of Ye Chenfeng surviving are very low."

Shui Menghan’s face suddenly turned pale, shaking her head continuously, saying, "That’s impossible, Brother Ye can’t die, Brother Ye can’t possibly die."

Liang Zuoyi, who had been cautious all through, said, "I’m sure Ye Chenfeng isn’t dead, because if he were, I would have died immediately too. But being in that collapsed ruin, how much longer can he survive? I don’t think I have long to live either."

After Liang Zuoyi said those words, Shui Ziyan, Shui Menghan, and Su Bingshuan fell silent, the atmosphere filled with a vague sadness.

Meanwhile, Jiang Motian, following Song Chunmei’s departure, did not immediately leave the Northern Desolate Wasteland but returned to the temporary residence of the Yinming Sect there.

Upon entering Song Chunmei’s humble dwelling, Jiang Motian immediately said, "Master, I saw the ant from the Lower Plane in the ruins, and his combat strength was astonishing. How could he have come to the Earth Profound Realm? In the ruins..."

Jiang Motian recounted the events concerning Ye Chenfeng in the ruins to Song Chunmei, and after listening, Song Chunmei’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, but she quickly relaxed, saying, "Motian, the ruin has already collapsed. That kid didn’t leave the ruin; he’s probably dead now. You don’t have to concern yourself with a dead person."

"Now that Wang Qian is dead, you must be the current Saint Heir of the Yinming Sect. Prepare well! Lin Xinyi will soon become your woman."

Jiang Motian still had a surge of violent energy within him, nodded, and said, "Master, can I break through my strength in your room? I achieved some good gains in the ruins."

Song Chunmei said directly, "Alright, I’ll keep watch outside for you, and won’t let anyone disturb you."

...

As Jiang Motian began to merge the energy within him.

Somewhere in the Northern Desolate Wasteland.

Ye Chenfeng lay motionless in the sand, covered in injuries, seemingly having successfully exited the Ancient Divine Demon Cemetery. However, after enduring spatial turbulence, Ye Chenfeng fell into unconsciousness. Fortunately, there were no monsters nearby, or Ye Chenfeng would have been in dire straits.

"Hiss!"

While unconscious, Ye Chenfeng suddenly gasped, waking from his coma, the pain in his body causing him to breathe heavily. He felt his meridians were extremely disordered, and many bones were broken; he couldn’t stand up to walk.

"Laobai, Laohei, you guys are really despicable, you’re playing me to death here! Such a crucial teleportation, and you set it up to fail?" Ye Chenfeng angrily questioned in his heart.

...

When Ye Chenfeng awoke from his coma in the Northern Desolate Wasteland.

Song Chunmei watched her simple dwelling, her eyes constantly revealing waves of emotion, as energy waves rose continuously from it. She knew Jiang Motian was continuously breaking through.

It’s worth noting that Yang Shatian had a Middle Stage Divine Thought Realm of the Second Heavenly Layer strength, and Wang Mulei and Wang Qian had an Initial Stage Divine Thought Realm of the Second Heavenly Layer strength. The partial energy within these three was enough for Jiang Motian to break through several levels.

About half an hour later.

The energy fluctuations within the dwelling gradually stabilized.

Jiang Motian sat cross-legged on the ground, now faintly exuding the Initial Stage momentum of the Divine Thought Realm’s Third Heavenly Layer. Blood trickled from his mouth, and the ground was stained with a large pool of blood, indicating the energy surge inside had caused him considerable injury during the fusion process.

However, this injury was nothing to Jiang Motian. After stabilizing his momentum, he abruptly stood, feeling the Initial Stage momentum of the Divine Thought Realm’s Third Heavenly Layer within, restoring his confidence, exclaiming, "An ant is just an ant. Ye Chenfeng, I will take good care of Lin Xinyi for you; even if you come to the Earth Profound Realm, so what? Even if your combat strength is very strong, so what?"

"Motian, remember not to dwell on that kid; it will only hinder your cultivation. Besides, that kid is surely dead now, and you’ve broken through to the Initial Stage of the Divine Thought Realm’s Third Heavenly Layer. The future Yinming Sect will undoubtedly be in your hands." Song Chunmei’s figure suddenly appeared before Jiang Motian.

From beginning to end, Song Chunmei never took Ye Chenfeng from the Lower Plane seriously.
