Nine Revolutions Star Technique

Zheng Jiuling looked at Zhou Zheng Hall and the others leaving in disgrace and cautiously asked, "Mr. Ye, these people seem to have significant backgrounds. Will teaching them a lesson like this bring trouble upon us?"

Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

Initially, they were happy watching Ye Qingchen reprimand the other party, but now, having calmed down, they couldn’t help but feel a bit regretful.

"What, do you want me to apologize to them now?" Ye Qingchen looked at him quietly.

Cold sweat appeared on Zheng Jiuling’s forehead, and he shook his head again and again, saying, "It’s their own fault, naturally there’s no need for Mr. Ye to apologize. But I see that Zhou Zheng Hall is quite extraordinary and doesn’t seem like an ordinary person... It’s unclear why he came to Taotian Palace this time, and during this period Elder Su is in seclusion."

"They came to discuss the Martial Arts Conference!" Ye Qingchen said casually.

"Martial Arts Conference? Could it be the Martial Arts Conference in Southern Heaven?"

Beside them, Han Buxiu exclaimed in surprise.

Seeing everyone looking over, Han Buxiu quickly explained:

"The Martial Arts Conference is held every three years by the Thirty-Six Countries of the Celestial South. At that time, the major sects of Southern Heaven will bring their disciples to participate, where everyone competes in martial arts and exchanges knowledge."

"Moreover, each Martial Arts Conference is a grand event for cultivators. Many Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, magical artifacts, and elixirs are available for sale."

"Oh?"

Ye Qingchen raised his eyebrows.

The Heavenly and Earthly Treasures he had gathered were all exhausted in Celestial Extinction Mountain and needed replenishment. Furthermore, Hidden Dragon Mountain and Ice Crystal Lake still lacked a large amount of materials for array arrangements.

"If it’s really like this, having this Martial Arts Conference will save me quite a lot of trouble!"

Thinking of this, he finally showed considerable interest.

...

Meanwhile, despite having left Heaven-Shocking Peak, Zhou Zheng Hall remained with a gloomy expression, unwilling to leave.

It must be known.

As a Three-star Elder, he held a high status in the Infinite Sect, just below those old monsters. No matter where he went, he was always a guest of honor at a sect or a major race.

But the result.

This time, he was left humiliated in Taotian Palace, on Heaven-Shocking Peak, before Ye Qingchen.

The six juniors he brought, although fortunately not dead, even if cured and revived, their cultivation would still fall behind. He originally wanted revenge but was forcibly pulled away from Heaven-Shocking Peak by others. How could he endure this?

"Do you want to shelter this child? I did not expect your Taotian Palace to be full of people who dare not take responsibility but dare to protect a fierce one!"

Outside Heaven-Shocking Peak.

Zhou Zheng Hall’s face was iron-blue:

"Today, whoever tries to stop me, I will kill you, then kill Ye Qingchen!"

"Elder Zhou, please listen to me!" Seeing Zhou Zheng Hall still intending to forcefully enter Heaven-Shocking Peak, an elder braced himself and hurriedly stepped forward, saying, "If after hearing me out you still want to act against him, I will not stop you!"

"Fine!"

Zhou Zheng Hall looked coldly at the other.

He was determined.

No matter what the other said, he would not change his decision to teach Ye Qingchen a lesson.

"Elder Zhou, it’s not that we’re protecting a fierce one, but rather protecting you from being killed by Ye Qingchen!" That elder, seeing Zhou Zheng Hall calming down, quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

What he feared most was the situation becoming dire and angering Ye Qingchen.

As long as he could persuade Zhou Zheng Hall to back down, the matter could be minimized.

"Hmph, does he have the ability to kill me? Besides, I am a Three-star Elder of Infinite Sect, does he dare kill me?" Zhou Zheng Hall was completely incredulous, "Ding Fatty, do you think you can fool me into backing off!"

The one called Ding Fatty was the Two-star Elder responsible for receiving Zhou Zheng Hall, named Ding Fuhai, and they had dealt with each other many times.

"Why wouldn’t he dare?"

Ding Fuhai wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and said, "Do you know why Void Peak is sparsely populated, with almost no Human Immortal Fifth Layer powerhouses?"

Zhou Zheng Hall frowned slightly.

He originally thought, like others including Guo Wei, that Taotian Palace’s power was declining, its strength waning. But hearing the other speak thus, could it be there was more to the situation?

Thinking of this, he asked solemnly, "Why?"

"All were killed by Ye Qingchen! Including the three True Disciples of Marquis Guangjun!" Ding Fuhai sighed, "This happened half a year ago! In that battle, all recognized talents from Void Peak perished at his hands! The entire Void Peak was blood-soaked, the blood glow almost covering the sky for three days!"

"Really?" Zhou Zheng Hall simply couldn’t believe it, but seeing other elders with expressions full of secrecy, he began to doubt: "Did Marquis Guangjun just watch?"

Ding Fuhai sighed, "It was a life-and-death battle, fight until the end! And it was established in front of six Supreme Elders! Moreover, Marquis Guangjun had already been suppressed on Void Peak earlier because of him...so no one could intervene!"

With these words.

Zhou Zheng Hall’s face changed dramatically.

He had never imagined that Ye Qingchen, who seemed harmless, had actually bloodily cleansed the entire Void Peak.

"What does this prove, why should I fear him?" Zhou Zheng Hall summoned courage and sneered.

Ding Fuhai looked at him and slowly shook his head:

"And that’s not all! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have advised you early on to not provoke him!"

"Three months ago, during the Elder’s assessment, he emerged from Black Nether Profound Sea, in front of everyone, stepping over all the seven peak candidate elders! In the end, thirty-two candidate elders were severely wounded or killed..."

"And at that time, Ye Qingchen had just reached Earth Immortal! Facing Ye Xu Kong, Lu Xingzhou, among others, he didn’t back down in the slightest. Now he’s already at Earth Immortal Third Layer, his strength hundreds of times stronger than before! Not to mention you, even a Supreme Elder wouldn’t be able to make him bow!"

These words.

All of Zhou Zheng Hall’s anger suddenly felt as if drenched by a basin of ice water, leaving only deep trembling and astonishment.

No wonder, before entering Heaven-Shocking Peak, Ding Fuhai had repeatedly warned them not to provoke Ye Qingchen. At the time, he thought it was merely the other bluffing, but now it seems...

This was no weak young man; he was unquestionably an untouchable fierce god!

The cliff wind howled.

Only after a moment did Zhou Zheng Hall regain his senses, realizing his back was soaked with cold sweat.

With lingering fear:

"I narrowly escaped with my life!"

"Elder Zhou, we should leave now...to prevent Ye Qingchen from changing his mind and coming back to kill us!" Ding Fuhai urged promptly.

This time.

Zhou Zheng Hall no longer expressed any dissatisfaction, kept silent on returning to Heaven-Shocking Peak, seeking revenge against Ye Qingchen.

Only as he left Heaven-Shocking Peak did he glance back, his eyes showing a trace of shadow:

’Ye Qingchen, although today I suffered under you, remember this! The shame of Infinite Sect can only be washed away with blood! Today’s disgrace will surely be repaid from you a hundredfold thousandfold in the future!’
