As the little demoness rushed towards the temporary base of the Righteous Sects, another scene was unfolding at the Divine Sword Sect’s base.

Time passed slowly, and as night fell, tranquility returned to the mid-slope of Spirit Peak No. 4.

However, the entire Divine Sword Sect was in an uproar; after this battle, that figure seemed to reappear within the realm of people’s vision.

Anecdotes about that figure were once again mentioned by countless cultivators, with those speaking brimming with excitement and those listening delighting in every word.

"I heard that Ye Xiaofan already showed his talent back in the ’Border City Battle Domain’?"

"Exactly, I was in the ’Border City Battle Domain’ at the time. The Chain Annihilation Array painstakingly arranged by that array demon was effortlessly broken by Junior Brother Ye. You must have missed the scene—it was incredibly inspiring. The moment the array was broken, the expressions of those from the Demon Sect turned green, especially that array demon, who began questioning his own existence."

"Before Junior Brother Ye broke the array demon’s Chain Annihilation Array, he had already slain Yunmo Yan, who was at the half-step Spiritual Essence Realm, with his early peak Profound Sea Realm strength. At the time, cultivators from both the Righteous and Demonic Dao were shocked that an unknown cultivator could slay such a powerful half-step Spiritual Essence Realm expert."

"It was due to this incident that, after breaking the array, cultivators from the Demonic Dao sects launched an encirclement against Junior Brother Ye, including those from the Spiritual Essence and True Self Realm. If Jiang Changqing and others hadn’t intervened, Junior Brother Ye might have already perished in the ’Border City Battle Domain.’

"Even with Senior Brother Jiang and others intervening, Junior Brother Ye still faced unprecedented suppression. The Demonic Dao sects mobilized over a hundred peak Profound Sea Realm experts for an encirclement and even assembled thirty-nine half-step Spiritual Essence Realm experts to join the suppression. Yet, in such a deadly situation, Junior Brother Ye fiercely fought his way out."

"Thirty-nine half-step Spiritual Essence Realm experts, seven killed and fifteen injured—what an astonishing battle record! Back then, Junior Brother Ye was like a god descending to earth, taking out small fry with a single sword strike. He fought until the sky became dark, the sun and moon lost their light, and enemies abandoned their armor, fleeing in panic. Bear in mind, Junior Brother Ye was only at the early peak of the Profound Sea Realm then." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Senior Brother, did the Demon Sect really deploy thirty-nine half-step Spiritual Essence Realm experts to attack Junior Brother Ye?"

Upon hearing the surrounding discussions, a Divine Sword Sect cultivator immediately expressed skepticism, his eyes filled with disbelief, only to be quickly refuted.

"How could it be false? I saw it with my own eyes; all the cultivators in the ’Border City Battle Domain’ witnessed it."

"Hiss—!!!"

Upon hearing this, countless Divine Sword Sect cultivators were stunned, particularly the junior brothers and sisters who just entered the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain,’ each drawing a breath in shock.

Ye Xiaofan and others entered the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain’ for nearly two years, during which the Righteous Orthodox Sects gradually sent many new disciples.

Now, these newly arrived junior brothers and sisters from the Divine Sword Sect listened to the legends of ’that senior brother,’ all filled with admiration and longing, especially hearing that the Demon Sect had mobilized thirty-nine half-step Spiritual Essence Realm experts when ’that senior brother’ was at the early peak of the Profound Sea Realm, causing them to tremble in fear.

It’s hard to imagine how ’that senior brother’ faced such a deadly scenario back then. Even more terrifying is that he fought back, killing seven and severely injuring fifteen, eventually escaping unscathed.

In the crowd, a few figures listened to the surrounding discussions, their faces pale and bloodless, among them the most troubled being a Ye Race offspring who entered the Divine Sword Sect alongside Ye Xiaofan, an unrivaled prodigy always by Ye Xiaotian’s side.

Clearly, two years later, this Ye Race offspring who used to disdain that figure was chosen to enter the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain.’ At this moment, several figures beside this person were also Ye Race members, but they entered the Divine Sword Sect earlier than Ye Xiaofan and others.

"Ye Lin, did the patriarch really expel him from the Ye Race back then? Why?" A Ye Race young girl was filled with confusion and couldn’t accept it. Now that the figure stands shoulder to shoulder with legendary figures in the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain,’ what an astonishing feat! Ye Wuyuan had actually expelled him from the Ye Race."

They found it incomprehensible—a double talent genius with sword intent comprehension rivaling the Divine Sword Sect’s Sword Intent ceiling, a stunning prodigy. The Ye Race may never again produce such an astonishing figure, now drifting further from the Ye Race—who could accept this?

Ye Lin, the Ye Race offspring, was visibly distressed by these words. The waste everyone once trampled upon had now risen to unreachable heights, forcing the entire Ye Race to look up to him.

This was the first time Ye Lin heard comprehensively about that figure’s exploits over the years after entering the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain,’ his heart surging with turbulent waves.

But just as these words fell, before Ye Lin could recover from his shock, another voice sounded from the other side.

"Heh, what’s compared to the ’Border City Battle Domain’ feats? The most formidable ’Spiritual Element Battle Domain’ is truly awe-inspiring. Back then, Junior Brother Ye ventured solo into the strongest ’Spiritual Element Battle Domain.’ In less than two months, he directly condensed Spiritual Essence and stepped into the Spiritual Essence Realm, instantly slaying a peak ’Fourth Rank Spiritual Essence Realm’ expert from the Demon Sect, as effortlessly as chopping vegetables."

"He’s only just entered the Spiritual Essence Realm, and yet he slayed a peak ’Fourth Rank Spiritual Essence Realm’ Demonic Dao expert? How’s that possible, Senior Brother? This is already considered cross-rank combat, right? And directly crossing three ranks?"
