Chapter 992 - 991: Demon Suppression Conference
Ye Qingchen has come forth into the world!
Upon hearing this news, everyone was utterly astonished.
Originally.
In everyone’s eyes, facing Taotian Palace’s stance of capturing Su Moran, a half-step Celestial Immortal, was enough to demonstrate an absolutely invincible posture. A dragon, it must coil!
A tiger, it must lie down!
Even Ye Qingchen would have to obediently become a turtle hiding its head!
But no one expected that Ye Qingchen would actually declare war on Taotian Palace.
What kind of audacity is this?
What kind of courage is this?
"Under the heavens, there are countless whose cultivation surpasses Ye Qingchen’s, yet who among them dares to stand against the might of Taotian Palace and declare war? Perhaps, only Ye Qingchen is capable of such."
"Indeed, no one expected that Ye Qingchen wouldn’t hide away but instead has been cultivating at Bodhi Mountain. Only after receiving recent news did he emerge... It’s truly unexpected!"
An endless number of people sighed in admiration.
"No way, this Demon Suppression Conference was already a rare opportunity, and now with Ye Qingchen joining, to miss it would be a lifelong regret!"
For a moment.
Even the Loose Cultivators who were initially uninterested in the Demon Suppression Conference were stirred and headed for Taotian Palace, eager to witness the grandeur of the event.
Taotian Palace had captured Su Moran, forcing Ye Qingchen to appear, clearly heading towards an irreconcilable conflict. And what kind of explosive character does Ye Qingchen have, how could he possibly submit?
Just by looking at that battle in the Martial Arts Conference, it becomes apparent that Ye Qingchen is not one to be trifled with. Now that Ye Qingchen has returned to the sect, he certainly won’t easily let matters rest.
Rumble!
Countless old Earth Immortal cultivators emerged in succession.
It was even more lively than during the Martial Arts Conference.
"Heavens, where did so many Earth Immortals come from? I feel as if I’m living within a history book, the scene of celestial beings gathering and all immortals paying homage!"
"What do you know? That Su Moran is known as the First Earth Immortal of Taotian Palace! And Ye Qingchen is titled the First Fierce God of Southern Heaven, nicknamed the Little Demon. When either of these two appears, something significant is bound to occur. Now that both have appeared, what a scene it must be!"
"Hurry and head over to Taotian Palace, to witness such a sight is a fortune of this lifetime! It might even go down in history books!"
...
Vajra Temple.
Under the eight-thousand-zhang tall Buddha, an old monk suddenly opened his eyes. Though he had cultivated to the form of a Buddha, at this moment he seemed like an ancient demon.
"Ye Qingchen has emerged, returning to Taotian Palace!"
The old monk’s voice was like a loud bell:
"Jue Tian, Juedi, Absolute God!"
"You three, go to Taotian Palace and seize Ye Qingchen!"
"Alive, see the person; dead, see the corpse!"
...
Infinite Sect.
The elder with hair like a carpet suddenly lifted his head.
"This child dares to appear?"
His voice was thunderous, almost causing the heavens and the earth to quake:
"Chu Xiu, Su Xin, Gu Chen!"
"The three of you head to Taotian Palace; the shame of our Infinite Sect can only be washed away with blood!"
...
Cyan Flame Sect.
In front of the huge furnace, the gaunt man had a somber gaze, the flickering flames casting shadows on his face.
"Luo Kun, Rong Hao, Celestial Extreme!"
"Ye Qingchen has appeared, capture him and toss him into my Demon Fire Furnace to sanctify my flames!"
Rumble!
As the words fell.
The huge furnace erupted with ten-thousand-zhang angry flames.
...
These sects, having once suffered at the hands of Ye Qingchen during the Martial Arts Conference, where he slew their three-star elders, have formed a deadly enmity with him.
As for the other sects, having been disgraced by Ye Qingchen during the conference, they’re also preparing to settle their scores at this Demon Suppression Conference.
As for Taotian Palace.
There was an undeniable disturbance.
"Is Ye Qingchen really going to appear?"
In the great hall.
Yu Hongqing, dressed in a long brocade robe with wide sleeves, wearing the Heaven-Teasing Crown, a luxurious attire, had a glint flash through his eyes.
"We’ve already sent people to verify, and the news is absolutely true. For these three months, Ye Qingchen has been hiding and cultivating in White Horse Temple, and it was only after being alarmed by Yan Jinchao that he decided to re-enter the world!"
Marquis Guangjun bowed his head and said.
This Supreme Elder has been unable to sleep peacefully during this period.
Ye Qingchen’s potential is too strong, if such an existence is allowed to go unchecked, it will inevitably become a great disaster in the future. To be targeted by a young powerhouse with the potential to step into the Celestial Immortal Realm is like being on pins and needles.
"It’s good that he’s appearing! It’s good that he’s appearing!"
A cold smile raised at the corners of Yu Hongqing’s mouth.
For these three months.
He had relentlessly tortured Su Moran, but couldn’t extract any information about the Cyan Nether Hall.
’This boy had also entered the Cyan Nether Hall and made a breakthrough to become an Earth Immortal within. If I capture him, I might just uncover the secrets of the ancient hall!’
With this in mind.
A hint of laughter emerged in Yu Hongqing’s eyes.
...
Seven days passed in a blur.
The time for the Demon Suppression Conference had arrived.
Taotian Palace!
This sect, already renowned in Southern Heaven, today shook the nine heavens once more, drawing the clouds of spectators like a swarm, attracting cultivators from all over, north and south of Southern Heaven. Because today, they were to publicly execute a half-step Celestial Immortal!
And perhaps also the First Fierce God of Southern Heaven!
Even with the grandeur of Taotian Palace, it was overwhelmed by the cultivators who flocked from the southern and northern heavens, crowding it to the brim. In the end, Taotian Palace had no choice but to order the eviction of Human Immortals, leaving only Earth Immortal level experts the qualification to enter Taotian Palace and behold the scene.
But even so, it was still impenetrably crowded.
Within Taotian Palace, Earth Immortals could be seen all around, riding various magical beasts, even including several top-tier magical beasts of Earth Immortal grade. Any one of these, if let loose, would be enough to cause great disaster in the world.
"This is truly a movement of the world!" gasped a passing disciple of Taotian Palace, casting a glance at the absent-minded Tuoba Ye, sharply calling out: "Tuoba Ye, get yourself together! Today is the day of the Demon Suppression Conference, if anything goes wrong, and you offend an immortal, no one will be able to save you!"
"I know..." Tuoba Ye hesitated.
"Are you referring to Ye Qingchen?" That disciple sneered, "Today is the place of his burial! He is a Fierce God, a conniving demon who colluded with the Demon Sect! If not for his collusion with the Demon Sect, how else could he possess such cultivation? Or such strength? If he is not eliminated, he will undoubtedly become the supreme Demon God that will plague the Kunlun Realm in the future!"
"I see!"
Tuoba Ye nodded, the confusion in his eyes gradually dissipating, yet he still felt a twinge of concern: "Senior Brother, do you think we can truly slay that wicked Ye Qingchen today?"
The senior disciple sneered: "Wasn’t Su Moran considered formidable? She was reputed as the First Earth Immortal of Taotian Palace and had reached the Half-Step Celestial Immortal Realm! Yet, she was personally captured by the Sect Leader!"
"And Ye Qingchen doesn’t even come close!"
"Moreover, for today’s Demon Suppression Conference, Taotian Palace has already laid out a Heaven and Earth Net; once Ye Qingchen appears, he will undoubtedly die!"
Upon hearing this, Tuoba Ye’s eyes grew ever brighter.
However.
Before he could begin to speak, a sudden shout was heard:
"The Demon Suppression Conference has begun!"
Upon hearing this, Tuoba Ye’s spirits lifted, and he suddenly looked up.
