Ye Qingchen could no longer hear what was happening in the valley.

He had already returned to Da Feng City.

At this moment.

Within Da Feng City, it was still calm and peaceful. No one realized that such a major event had occurred nearby at Quanrong Mountain. More people focused on the various major sects coming to attend the Martial Arts Conference.

The appearance of each sect would cause a sensation.

However.

After these major sects appeared, everyone inevitably mentioned Taotian Palace.

After all.

Back in Da Feng City, Ye Qingchen's public statement to Sun Xuanji, 'I can kill you in three moves,' was too memorable.

"This guy is utterly incapable of achieving anything! He has made our Taotian Palace a laughingstock for everyone, a joke! It even makes it impossible for me to step out of my home now!"

"Once I return to Taotian Palace, I must report this matter to the Sect Leader and have him strip this boy of his Elder status!"

At the gate, Li Yixing was hopping mad.

The many disciples looked towards Ye Qingchen's residence, though all were discontent, none dared voice it.

"You fools, how dare you presume to understand Mr. Ye's methods?"

The Withered Bone Ancestor heard their voices with disdain on his face. He did not intend to engage with them, instead, he followed Chu Zhongyun, Yue Tianyi, and Wu Yurong to meet Ye Qingchen in the backyard!

At this moment.

Ye Qingchen had a table set before him, brewing a pot of fragrant tea.

This pot of tea was made with the Spirit Liquid of pills, releasing a luscious fragrance. This sight made Chu Zhongyun and the others almost drool with envy. Pills of this level were difficult even for them to obtain, yet Ye Qingchen was directly using them for tea—how lavish!

However.

The most puzzling to the group was that although it's only been a few hours since they last met, Ye Qingchen's aura was markedly different from when he was in the valley. Despite their thoughts, the four nonetheless bowed respectfully:

"Mr. Ye! The matter has been settled!"

"Excellent!"

Ye Qingchen nodded slightly.

Even with so many Loose Cultivators present, Ye Qingchen wasn't ruthless enough to completely silence them all; however, making them take a divine soul oath was unavoidable.

Such minor matters hardly needed his personal attention; a single command was enough to handle them.

"However..." The Withered Bone Ancestor slowly raised his head, hesitating to speak. "Just now, the Vajra Temple seemed to be aware of what transpired within Quanrong Mountain."

"If they know, so what?"

Ye Qingchen's eyes lifted slightly.

"Since it's an abandoned relic of Buddhism, the Celestial Immortal Tomb no longer belongs to their Vajra Temple. Naturally, it belongs to the capable! Even if they know it's me, what of it?"

The Withered Bone Ancestor tremored recalling the scene in the valley, bowing deeply.

...

Quanrong Mountain, in front of the valley.

No wall is airtight, even more so when it's an Earth Immortal battle. After the monks from Vajra Temple arrived, more cultivators rushed to the valley seeking to view the tomb.

Yet, how could these monks permit it?

However!

The Earth Immortal martial monks guarding the tomb stared at the valley, filled with desperation as they saw the almost countless Loose Cultivators there. At least ten thousand people, with even more rushing towards here!

"Hurry up and move aside! On what grounds do you Vajra Temple monopolize this Celestial Immortal Tomb?"

"Indeed, I heard that the tomb's owner was once an abandoned child of Buddhism. Thus, it has no connection with your Vajra Temple now!"

"Move aside!"

Roaring voices surged, resounding through the sky!

Nearly overturning the entire valley!

These people looked at the tomb like a starving pack of wolves eyeing a lamb!

Keenly aware.

This is a Celestial Immortal Tomb!

Behind it represents opportunities, representing a chance to ascend to Celestial Immortal status.

Who would willingly let go?

There were even those who, at this moment, planned to forcefully enter the tomb!

Boom!

However, just then.

An overwhelming aura suddenly descended upon the valley without any warning.

"What?"

"Who's arriving now?"

Whoosh!

Feeling this aura, everyone involuntarily looked skyward. The void suddenly tore apart, and a monk dressed in a moon-colored kasaya with a red mole on his forehead and red lips quietly appeared.

This monk was exceedingly refined, yet his aura was indeed vast and robust, akin to the breath of a giant dragon, causing a great wind to stir within the valley.

"Elder, Elder, you've arrived..."

"Quick, we can't stop these people, they're about to break in!"

Upon seeing the refined monk appear, the martial monks before the Bronze Gate shouted excitedly.

This one.

Was known as the Vajra Temple's most powerful Three-star Elder, Dharma Zen!

However.

Seeing more and more Loose Cultivator experts arriving, they couldn't help but worry. Could Dharma Zen alone hold back this tide within the valley?

"Another monk arrived?"

Upon seeing Dharma Zen, many Loose Cultivators in the valley first quieted down, then exploded in a barrage of curses.

"Monk, get lost quickly!"

"Move, or I'll waste you!"

"Haha, think you can stop us, just you alone?"

The jeers made the Vajra Temple martial monks' faces grow increasingly grim, as Dharma Zen's gaze gradually turned icy.

"Courting death!"

Boom!

As his gaze turned icy, Dharma Zen swung his hand, and suddenly a surge of terrifying might exploded forth. The ferocity was akin to towering waves.

Without any warning, it suddenly poured down from above, sweeping out madly.

"This is bad!"

Among those present, there were no shortage of veteran Earth Immortals.

Witnessing Dharma Zen take action, they almost didn't hesitate, immediately conjuring spells!

"Buzz!"

Just as.

Within the valley, brilliant shields rapidly rose, swiftly extending outward. Yet, faced with this immense power, they were as fragile as paper, shredded on the spot.

And those Loose Cultivators beneath the might bore the brunt, instantly turning to dust, their form and soul annihilated!

A deathly silence fell.

The brash Loose Cultivators were wide-eyed and slack-jawed at the scene.

Half the valley had practically been flattened by a single palm, like a typhoon aftermath, with devastation as far as the eye could see! Under this palm, at least several thousand were obliterated!

The power to lift a palm, terrifyingly so!

Plop!

The once indignant Loose Cultivators, ready to storm into the Celestial Immortal Tomb the next moment, suddenly had their knees buckle and knelt down as if beholding a deity!

Before such force.

Opportunity, the Celestial Immortal Tomb—all utterly vanished into ashes, leaving only profound fear.

"What exactly happened?" Glancing at the thoroughly kneeling Loose Cultivators, Dharma Zen slowly withdrew his hand, asking with a dour expression.

The equally stunned martial monks shivered, hastily speaking:

"Elder Dharma Zen!"

"We were originally waiting at the mountain's base to receive Elder Dharma Tribulation but waited long without a sign and came here. We discovered this scene, the tomb opened, Elder Dharma Tribulation and others missing, and even the relic within the tomb gone!"

"Currently it's certain that Elder Dharma Tribulation and them have been killed and the relic seized by the opponent..."

Listening to the monk's report.

Dharma Zen's expression grew increasingly cold, until it became downright grim:

"No matter who it is!"

"To dare kill someone from our Vajra Temple, this blood debt must be repaid in blood!"

After speaking.

Dharma Zen's gaze once more fell upon the open Bronze Gate, face extremely iron-like, remaining silent for a long time!
