A middle-aged man wearing a dark red robe is practicing with his eyes closed.
Suddenly, his eyebrows opened suddenly, and a look of shock appeared on his face.
"Su Ming...actually died?!"
The middle-aged man muttered with a frown.
As the leader of the Yangui Sect, he has the soul fragments of the elders of his Yangui Sect in his soul space.
The soul fragments are the symbols of the lives of those elders.
And just now, he felt that Leng Suming's soul fragment was suddenly shattered!
This means...Leng Suming is dead!
"The one who has been following him recently is Cheng'er... Last time Cheng'er came back, he didn't come back."
The middle-aged man slowly stood up while thinking.
"It's necessary to go to Cheng'er and ask."
－－－－－－
"Ho...ho..."
Ye Qingchen lay on the ground, breathing heavily.
Although his cultivation level has improved, he will not be as weak as before.
But at least during this period, he couldn't even think of returning to the courtyard of the Imperial City within half an hour.
He raised his head and glanced around.
The surrounding forests have all disappeared.
Even the originally flat ground here has turned into a huge deep pit.
And Ye Qingchen was in the center of this deep pit.
"This old man...couldn't he have taken action earlier...but he still has to delay it until now..."
Ye Qingchen climbed out of the deep pit with great effort.
Suddenly, his expression changed. He squeezed out the strength from nowhere and stood up. He grabbed the Yucang Sword in his hand again and turned to look into the distance.
Not long after, a dozen figures came closer from far away.
"stop!"
Luo Jianming waved his hand to signal everyone to stop.
He looked down and took a sudden breath.
All kinds of broken branches and branches, shocking huge pits...
Seeing this scene, how could they not know that this was the destruction caused by the sword energy just now!
"Sect Master Luo, look!"
The leader of the Red Lotus Sect, Chen Fen, raised his hand with a heavy expression.
Luo Jianming looked in the direction he pointed.
Then he suddenly saw that slender figure standing upright!
And he was looking at them with a smile!
"Hey, everyone came a little slower than I expected."
A harmless smile appeared on Ye Qingchen's face.
However, when Luo Jianming looked at this smile, he deeply felt a cool air coming from the soles of his feet to the sky.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the terrifying and absurd conjecture in his heart, and asked in a deep voice:
"Ye Qingchen, you...killed Elder Leng?"
Leng Suming had already told them that he had gone to hunt down Ye Qingchen.
However, now they only saw Ye Qingchen, but not Leng Suming.
Could it be that he has been...
"yes."
Ye Qingchen still maintained that harmless smile and nodded.
"..."
Luo Jianming and Chen Fen looked at each other, both seeing deep horror in each other's eyes.
"Then...how did he die?" Luo Jianming then asked.
"You all have seen how this place has become. Don't you still understand how he died?"
The smile on Ye Qingchen's face has changed, becoming playful and sarcastic.
Luo Jianming's expression changed.
The elders behind him also had ugly expressions.
They all saw the terrifying sword energy rising into the sky just now.
It is no exaggeration to say that even with the combined strength of all of them, the power created by them is definitely less than one ten thousandth of that sword energy!!
"You actually...have such a trump card!"
Luo Jianming said with a trembling voice.
He had been practicing swordsmanship for decades, and his sword heart, as calm as the surface of a lake, began to tremble violently at this moment!
He never thought that a young man from the Soaring Realm could actually make him feel what fear is!
"Sect Master Luo...are you still going to take action?"
Chen Fen's voice reached his ears, and his tone was also trembling.
Generally speaking, after using a martial skill with unimaginable power, the performer will definitely enter a state of exhaustion and weakness.
But now Ye Qingchen looked lively and energetic, and the aura on his body didn't seem to weaken at all.
They did not dare to test whether Ye Qingchen could continue to display that terrifying sword energy.
They dare not risk their lives.
"What's going on, everyone? Everyone's faces look ugly."
The corner of Ye Qingchen's mouth curled up, and he glanced around at the elders behind Luo Jianming and the others.
"You brought so many people out to see me tonight. You don't have any good intentions, do you?"
Hearing this, Luo Jianming, Chen Fen and others suddenly became excited.
"No, no, no, no... no!"
Luo Jianming said hurriedly: "We came out here just to... search for a mortal enemy!"
Chen Fen was stunned and hurriedly said: "Yes! Yes! He is a mortal enemy!"
"Oh~" Ye Qingchen nodded as if understanding, and said leisurely: "Then this mortal enemy...could it be me?"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Luo Jianming laughed forcefully, his smile was obviously a little out of breath, and he had a clear guilty conscience.
"How could it be? We clearly have no enmity with Mr. Ye, so how could we regard Mr. Ye as our mortal enemy?"
"Hopefully not."
Ye Qingchen narrowed his eyes slightly, and his tone was full of warning: "I think you two sects cannot afford the consequences of so many strong men disappearing in an instant."
Luo Jianming and Chen Fen's hearts froze.
Just as Ye Qingchen said.
If so many strong men disappeared in an instant tonight.
Sooner or later, these two major sects will be destroyed by the combined efforts of Caiyun Sect and Flower Burial Sect!
This is absolutely unacceptable to them!
"Mr. Ye, please rest assured on this, we will never regard you as our mortal enemy!"
"On the contrary, you will become a guest of our Xuanjian Sect and Red Lotus Sect!"
In Luo Jiaming's panic, he even used the honorific title "you".
Suddenly, he slapped his head and said to Chen Fen: "Didn't your son have a conflict with Mr. Ye? When we turn around, let him come to the door in person to apologize to Mr. Ye!"
"Remember, sincerity must be sufficient!"
The word "sincerity" was taken very seriously by Luo Jianming.
Chen Fen was startled, then understood instantly, and nodded frantically like a chicken pecking at rice, with a smile on his face.
"Yes, yes...if Mr. Ye is still angry, I can let that brat find time to apologize to you!"
"Don't worry, we can definitely make you feel the sincerity of our Red Lotus Sect when it comes to apologizing!"
"The same goes for our Xuanjian Sect!"
Luo Jianming also spoke out.
Seeing the sect leaders of the two super sects being so humble to a young man, none of the elders behind them felt ashamed.
Because they all believed that if Ye Qingchen were angered, all of them would be buried here tonight! "In that case... let's forget it."
Ye Qingchen waved his hand as if he was not interested: "Now go where you came from."
Luo Jianming, Liu Fen and others were all startled when they saw Ye Qingche letting them go so easily.
But immediately, as if they were surviving a disaster, each of them became excited.
"Thank you Mr. Ye!"
"Master Ye, there are a lot of them! From now on, we will never target you again!"
"When I come back and have time, I will definitely go to Mr. Ye's house to bear the thorn and apologize!"
Many elders expressed their gratitude.
At their age, they have already valued their lives more than anyone else.
Naturally, he didn't want to die in Ye Qingchen's hands in such an unexplained way.
"Get out of here, so I won't be out of sight and out of mind." Ye Qingchen waved his hand impatiently.
Just as Luo Jianming, Chen Fen and others were about to leave, suddenly, there was a burst of applause from the direction of the imperial city.
Bang bang bang...
Then a warm voice sounded.
"Young master Ye's 'empty city strategy' is really amazing. Even I can only admire him."
Empty city plan?
Luo Jianming and Chen Fen both frowned.
Ye Qingchen's face suddenly darkened and he turned around to look.
He saw a middle-aged man and two old servants appear in his sight.
"Who are you?"
Ye Qingchen asked in a deep voice.
"The scenery is beautiful below."
Fang Jingsheng bent down and saluted, then added with a smile: "It's Fang Zhuo's father."
Fang Zhuo’s father?
Ye Qingchen's face darkened.
"Fang Zhuo, what do you mean by the 'empty city strategy' you just mentioned?"
Chen Fen asked aloud.
The Red Lotus Sect is considered to be the background behind the Fang family, so he can call them by their first names.
"Master Chen is extremely intelligent, so he should be able to understand what I mean without me having to say anything."
Fang Jingsheng looked at Ye Qingchen and smiled slightly: "If he can really use the sword energy just now, then why did he need to talk nonsense like that to you just now?"
"Wouldn't it be easier to just kill you all with one sword?"
Hearing this, Luo Jianming and Chen Fen's expressions changed, and they both felt a sense of shame of being teased.
"Ye Qingchen... I didn't expect that you would dare to play tricks on us!"
Luo Jianming turned around, his sword energy swirling around his body.
boom!
Chen Fen on the side also burst out with overwhelming enthusiasm.
The elders behind them also released their overwhelming power, all staring at Ye Qingchen with angry faces.
Which of them is not a respected top being in Xiliang?
Have you ever been teased like this?!
And the other person is still a boy who is only seventeen years old!
For a moment, Ye Qingchen, who could no longer hold himself up, was so overwhelmed by the overwhelming power that his body was about to collapse.
There is a possibility of dying here at any time!!
However, there was no panic on his face, and a pair of cold and bloodthirsty eyes stared at Fang Jingsheng.
"Fang Jingsheng...very good, I remember it."
"I hope that if we have a chance to meet next time, I will definitely make you... a life worse than death!!"
Being stared at by Ye Qingchen, Fang Jingsheng's mood could not help but fluctuate even though he had been calm and steady for so many years.
He shook his head and said slowly: "The winner is the king and the loser is the loser. The loser will often just say some unrealistic lies at the last moment to try to hide the fact of his failure."
