Chapter 1031 - 1030: Ye Qingchen Makes His Move
When this voice sounded, the entire mansion fell into silence.
Swish!
At this moment, everyone turned their heads in unison to look. It was then they noticed, at some point, a young man in wide-sleeved robes had appeared outside the door. He had a faint smile on his face, but his eyes were profoundly deep.
Though walking slowly at the moment, he gave off a feeling akin to the prelude of a storm.
"Who is it?"
Zhou Xu’s gaze sank further.
He vaguely felt that facing this young man was like standing before a fierce beast, instilling a chilling and hair-raising sensation!
Only Su Moran and Bai Ji trembled slightly, their eyes filled with excitement and joy.
"Who exactly are you? Why are you intruding on Hidden Dragon Island? Breaking into the Isle Master’s Mansion?"
After undergoing countless storms, Zhou Xu, being the second island master, quickly regained his composure after the initial shock, and coldly looked at Ye Qingchen.
"Hidden Dragon Island isn’t some dragon’s lair; I naturally come and go as I please!"
Ye Qingchen, with his hands behind his back, surveyed with a faint smile, "As a top-level Earth Immortal, you engage in underhanded deeds like poisoning, aren’t you afraid of being laughed at?"
"Boy, don’t think that just because you have some power, you can act recklessly. I’ve seen plenty of people like you who act with impunity due to their cultivation. Unfortunately, Hidden Dragon Island is not a place where you can wreak havoc!"
Zhou Xu’s face turned cold.
His mind raced, searching among the many experts of the Star Gathering Scattered Island but couldn’t match the young man before him with any known individual. In his view, the young man might be an undisclosed asset of either Su Moran or Luo Lin’an.
But then again, what of it?
He had already sided with the Thirty-Six Sects, supported by three Half-Step Celestial Immortals, with wealth and power within reach, how could he let go?
"Just you? Or by relying on your Thirty-Six Sects? Or Jiang Ran from Sword Vein Sect, Hong Feiping from the Seven-Star Sword Sect, or Chao Tian from the Cyan Mist Sect?"
Ye Qingchen’s gaze gradually turned cold.
Earlier, outside he had already understood the situation. Zhou Xu, the second island master, chose to betray while facing the encirclement of the Thirty-Six Sects. He used Luo Lin’an, Su Moran, and Bai Ji as his bargaining chips to trade for wealth and power!
"Who exactly are you?"
Zhou Xu’s expression changed.
"Second Island Master, what are you babbling about? Since this punk knows our plan, just kill him along!" A bald, scar-faced man nearby coldly snorted.
"Let me take him down first!"
Upon finishing his sentence, he lightly stomped with his foot.
"Boom!"
Instantly, the ground centered beneath his foot collapsed swiftly, forming a semi-circular pit. The tables, chairs, and pillars within the pit’s range were shattered by the immense force.
The bald, scar-faced man leveraged this force, bursting forth like a cannonball, sweeping savagely, and in a blink, arrived at Ye Qingchen’s front!
At the same time, a fist punched toward him like a spearhead!
"Quickly dodge!"
Luo Lin’an cried out in alarm.
She did not know who the young man who suddenly appeared was, but she did know the attacker was named Zhao Baisheng, Earth Immortal Seventh Layer, Zhou Xu’s right-hand man, well-versed in powerful body refinement techniques.
Having once battled with an Earth Immortal Eighth Layer expert for several hours without retreating an inch.
Even cultivators of the same realm upon seeing him had to avoid him; his reputation was not only strong on Hidden Dragon Island but across the entire Star Gathering Scattered Island.
"Let me see you dodge now!"
Zhou Xu narrowed his eyes, watching with a faint smile.
With his experience of navigating Star Gathering Scattered Island for years, he naturally saw that the young man was only Earth Immortal Sixth Layer. Even if he had some hidden cards, Zhao Baisheng’s punch would be enough to leave him dead or severely injured, especially with so many people present.
The other people there also smiled coolly at the scene, as if they were already seeing the young man dying in front of them!
"Seeking death!"
But the next moment, everyone’s expression froze.
In their incredulous gazes, Ye Qingchen coldly snorted, stood still, only slightly raised his palm and slapped down lightly!
This slap appeared casual, the posture extremely leisurely to the utmost. Yet when it descended, it was earth-shaking. As if the Yellow Turban Warriors had lifted the Great Leiyin Mountain and flipped it down forcefully on their heads!
It was covering the sky and earth!
"Boom!"
Like a meteor impact, thunder exploded.
The entire Isle Master’s Mansion jolted fiercely, some even jumped up from the shock. The ground hit by Ye Qingchen’s palm directly caved in and revealed a massive palm imprint.
Countless cracks spread like mad from the palm imprint, instantly covering the vast mansion, climbing up the walls.
Underneath this palm, Zhao Baisheng foremost was directly crushed into dust.
"Kill me?" Ye Qingchen slowly withdrew his right hand, scanning Zhou Xu and others with a faint smile, "Who among you still wants to try?"
"You..."
Zhou Xu’s pupils contracted.
He stared blankly at Ye Qingchen, a renowned name from the Southern Heaven suddenly surfaced in his mind, the man who with his own effort stirred the Southern Heaven, causing the Thirty-Six Sects to pursue him at all costs.
Not yet twenty, yet so young, apart from that existence, who else could it be?
"Ye Qingchen, you’ve returned!"
The dazed Su Moran finally struggled free from the shock to awaken. Her eyes still held traces of disbelief; this young man deemed long fallen in the Enchanting Sea Region appeared once more before her!
"Is he Ye Qingchen? That fierce demon of the Southern Heaven?"
"How is it possible?"
At this sound, the Isle Master’s Mansion erupted into commotion, Zhou Xu, and his cohorts were all left gawking, faces filled with horror as they looked at Ye Qingchen.
"You, weren’t you dead in the Enchanting Sea Region?"
Zhou Xu’s face drastically changed, gone was his earlier arrogance, now filled with fear staring at Ye Qingchen. Having personally searched for Ye Qingchen for over a month, Zhou Xu naturally understood how terrifying the young man before him truly was!
"Indeed, the likes of Fo Luo pursued me into the Enchanting Sea Region, but alas, they failed to kill me. Didn’t it disappoint you?"
Ye Qingchen with his hands behind him, looked at Zhou Xu with a hint of a smile.
"Escape!"
Facing the legendary Celestial South Fierce God, Zhou Xu did not hesitate, shouting hoarsely, instantly activating a secret technique. His eyes turned bloodshot, body swelling by three points, his body covered with bulging veins, evidently using a desperate secret technique.
Yet he did not attack Ye Qingchen but turned to flee!
Others quickly regained their composure, glanced reluctantly at the Isle Master’s Mansion, and ultimately turned into streaks of light, escaping toward the outside of Hidden Dragon Island.
"Ha ha, with me, Ye Qingchen, here, you think you can escape?"
Ye Qingchen laughed heartily, suddenly swung his wide sleeve.
In an instant.
A world apart, heaven and earth reversing, suppressing every direction!
