Young Master in Flower City

The Soul Stele emerges, gathering endless heroes.

These people come here, undoubtedly seeking to use the Soul Stele to verify their talents.

But now, the unparalleled figure on the Soul Stele seems to have become the protagonist here, for one reason: the eighteenth layer of the Soul Stele, Duan Sanqing’s sarcasm, was strongly crushed.

The battle on the nineteenth floor shocked too many people, with Yan Kuan, ranked twenty-sixth on the Ancient Realm List, killed on the nineteenth layer of the Soul Stele.

A celestial prodigy, thus erased from the Yanzhou Ancient Realm.

Who would have thought that Xiao Tianyu would be so reckless, forcefully ascending to the nineteenth layer of the Soul Stele to slay Yan Kuan.

All this, for whom.

All because of Qin Lan; if not for Qin Lan’s arrogance, would the people of Qianhe Sect have met such a fate?

Her arrogance not only killed Yan Kuan but also led to the deaths of others in Qianhe Sect.

To all, this woman is pitiable.

Of course, the most terrified is Qin Shuang; she never expected Xiao Tianyu to actually kill Yan Kuan, even to decisively destroy Yan Kuan in a brief clash. In doing so, wouldn’t Xiao Tianyu’s group have formed a death feud with Qianhe Sect, unending until death?

Buzz~

A strong wind howled, and in just an instant, the unparalleled figure standing on the nineteenth layer descended to the ground, seemingly uninterested in the contest over the Soul Stele.

Or perhaps the Soul Stele indeed cannot verify his talent.

These words, though laughable.

Yet after Xiao Tianyu slew Yan Kuan on the nineteenth layer, he did not continue upward.

As for Jian Wushuang, he is now standing on the twenty-third step of the Soul Ladder, equally drawing the attention of all.

"Big brother!" Bai Bufan stepped forward.

"Let’s go!" Xiao Tianyu waved his hand, Bai Bufan nodded, and the four left Broken Soul Mountain under the gaze of countless people, not even glancing at Qin Lan as they departed, indifferent to such a woman.

The news of Xiao Tianyu killing Yan Kuan on the nineteenth layer of the Soul Stele spread throughout the Yanzhou Ancient Realm within half a month, and the name Xiao Tianyu thoroughly shook Yanzhou, stirring quite a storm.

As for Xiao Tianyu, Bai Bufan, Li Fei, and Mo Qingluan, since leaving Broken Soul Mountain, they have seemingly been absent from public view for the past half month.

There are even many who speculate that these three are likely hiding due to fear of Qianhe Sect’s strong retaliation, not daring to appear.

And it’s no wonder, as Qianhe Sect is one of the ten major forces in the Yanzhou Ancient Realm, with countless prodigies within their sect, even several prodigy figures are on the Ancient Realm List, especially the Sect Leader Liu Qianhe, who ranks within the top ten prodigies of the Ancient Realm List.

However, the fame of Xiao Tianyu has not only attracted Qianhe Sect’s pursuit but also disciples of Luoshen Sect who are searching for him.

Once, in the region of a Thousand Cities, Xiao Tianyu claimed that none under Luoshen Sect’s Divine Separation could stand against him, and if the Divine Separation didn’t appear, he could level Luoshen Sect. As such a bold person, would Luoshen Sect simply disregard him?

Thus, Xiao Tianyu has completely become the focus of animosity within the Yanzhou Ancient Realm.

Even if they are hiding, how long can they remain hidden?

...

Qianhe Sect.

Qianhe Sect is located on Yan Mountain within the Yanzhou Ancient Realm, atop the towering and magnificent Yan Mountain, where a majestic and splendid grand hall stands, exuding an ancient and weathered aura, clearly having a long history.

Yet, it has a condescending view over the world.

As for Yan City, it is within the dominion of Qianhe Sect.

At this moment, inside the grand hall of Qianhe Sect.

There sits a youth in white, with extraordinary demeanor and sharply piercing eyes, whose very gaze carries the imposing aura of Ling Tian.

This person is none other than the Sect Leader of Qianhe Sect, Liu Qianhe.

One of the top ten prodigies on the Ancient Realm List, he is among the most illustrious figures.

Moreover, he trained in the Yanzhou Ancient Realm and within three years founded Qianhe Sect, dominating Yan City, and occupying a region.

"Still no news of Xiao Tianyu?" Liu Qianhe gazed downward, and since half a month ago on Broken Soul Mountain, where Xiao Tianyu slew Yan Kuan and the marquis, he completely provoked Qianhe Sect. As the Sect Leader, Liu Qianhe cannot permit this issue to be left unresolved.

Furthermore, if it is let go, how can Qianhe Sect stand in the Ancient Realm in the future?

"Not at the moment, but our spies from Qianhe Sect are positioned around the Yanzhou Ancient Realm. As long as these four dare to move, traces will surely be found; I hope the Sect Leader remains assured!"

The speaker is Qianhe Sect’s Left Guardian, Tu Zhan.

Tu Zhan’s name resounds in the Yanzhou Ancient Realm, being vastly more formidable than Yan Kuan. There’s even a saying that none escape alive from under Tu Zhan’s blade, showcasing the fierceness of this individual.

Moreover, Qianhe Sect also has three heavenly prodigies even stronger than Tu Zhan, known as the Yan City Three Accomplished.

These three are triplets, and while individually their strength might not be as immense, once they join forces, they are comparable to those ranked among the top ten; the synergy between them is such that they even speak the same words.

It’s evident how powerful they become when united.

Moreover, they have never been separated, making it nearly impossible to divide and conquer them individually.

"Investigate! Should you discover the whereabouts of Xiao Tianyu’s group, kill them without mercy!" Liu Qianhe’s voice, cold and detached, reveals the depths of his current anger.

Those present nodded, and he continued, "Qin Lan, has she returned?"

"She’s outside the hall!"

"Tell her to come in!" Liu Qianhe commanded coldly, holding Qin Lan largely responsible for the deaths of Yan Kuan and others.

Furthermore, Qin Lan possesses only mediocre talent within Qianhe Sect and is not valued highly, now having implicated other members of Qianhe Sect, how could Liu Qianhe not punish her?

"Yes!" replied someone with a nod.

Shortly afterward, Qin Lan stepped into the hall, her face pale and her body trembling, clearly aware of what was about to happen.

...

Celestial Mirror Ghost Cave.

According to legend, the Celestial Mirror Ghost Cave is a natural barrier, with a history spanning thousands of years, yet its origin remains unknown.

All who train within the Yanzhou Ancient Realm know that the Ghost Cave is fraught with peril, especially the Ghost Cave Thirteen Steps, where each step holds a trap; once embarked upon the Ghost Cave Road, there is no turning back.

Hence, it is called the Ghost Cave Road.

The Ghost Cave Road resembles the Road to Yellow Springs.

Currently, many are gathered at the entrance of the Celestial Mirror Ghost Cave, as this location is not only a site of fortune but also one of the most hazardous places in the Yanzhou Ancient Realm, with many coming each day to train, embarking upon the Ghost Cave Road.

Compared to Broken Soul Mountain, this place is even more treacherous.

The sides of the Ghost Cave Road are piled with white bones.

These are the remains of prodigies who have perished on the Ghost Cave Road over the years, showcasing the vast number of fallen.

Despite the strong fortunes, the chance of obtaining it is slim, yet some prodigies have successfully traversed the Ghost Cave Road, undergoing a splendid transformation, seeking an opportunity for breakthrough, among other things.

"Ahead, we should be close by now!" At this moment, three men and a woman walk from the void, each carrying a distinctive aura, especially the woman, who leaves a lasting impression upon a single glance.
