Chapter 76: Pang Bo Acts

Just as Meng Huan chose to join Yuding Men, Ye Chen in the Tianmeng War Hall also quickly began seeking help in the chat group.

After all, according to the original plot, after leaving the Tianmeng Ancient Land, Liuyun Sect would soon clash with the Seventh-Rank Sect Zhongyuemen due to him and Bai Xuanguo.

Although he remained unharmed in the original plot, Liuyun Sect lost several outer sect elders before Nanluo Sect intervened with the Little Azure Dragon Token.

Whether from his own experiences or the plot’s subsequent development, Liuyun Sect had always treated him well.

So if possible, he naturally did not wish the sect elders to suffer losses because of him!

【System Prompt: Ye Chen changed the viewing permissions for "The Sole Sovereign of Sword Dao"; all group members may now view it!】

【Ye Chen: I am currently undergoing trials within the Tianmeng Ancient Land and will soon depart. After leaving, I will likely face Zhongyuemen as in the original plot!】

【Ye Chen: I noticed the group has a cross-realm teleportation function—does anyone know how to help me reduce losses for Liuyun Sect in the coming battle?】

【Tianmeng Bingcan: Tianmeng Ancient Land? I didn’t know such a place existed—it sounds oddly fitting for me. Let me take a look…】

Seeing a place with a name similar to his own, Tianmeng Bingcan became clearly interested and quickly began viewing the relevant content of "The Sole Sovereign of Sword Dao."

Meanwhile, all group members also began viewing "The Sole Sovereign of Sword Dao," as they wished to learn more about the new member.

Moments later…

【Xiao Yan: @Ye Chen, I never expected your fortune to be so astonishing—you’re not only a transmigrator, but your soul was also infused with an alien light by the Sword God!】

【Han Li: Indeed! With this fortune, Ye Dao friend’s talent in sword cultivation is truly unparalleled!】

【Pang Bo: @Han Li, @Xiao Yan, @Ye Chen, the buffs you three have are outrageous! One wields the Master of Heaven Vase; one is backed by a Dou Saint-level expert who’s also an alchemist; another’s soul was infused with alien light, granting exceptional insight—this is just too much!】

【Xiao Yan: Brother Pang, you’re being unfair! Isn’t your own past experience just as overpowered? We may have some fortune, but reaching the peak still requires our own cultivation. You, however, were directly carried into the Immortal Realm by your friend—your free ride is far more impressive than ours!】

【Han Li: Correct! Brother Pang, your free ride is far more comfortable than ours! Besides, now that we’ve all joined the chat group, that’s our greatest fortune!】

【Ye Chen: This… aren’t we off-topic? Can we focus on helping me? I’m about to leave the Tianmeng Ancient Land—though Nanluo Sect will eventually intervene, I still hope the sect elders won’t suffer because of me!】

【Pang Bo: Simple! Just a Zhongyuemen? We’ll just go over and eliminate them for you! But first, we need to understand what kind of strength the Baoyuan Realm experts on your side possess!】

【Han Li: Right! That’s the key issue! @Ye Chen, you’ve already broken through to Baoyuan Realm, right? Check how many points you need to use the cross-realm teleportation function.】

Seeing Han Li’s message, Ye Chen quickly located the cross-realm teleportation function in the chat group.

【Ye Chen: I’m at the early stage of Baoyuan Realm—the cross-realm teleportation costs 180 points, but I currently have zero points, so I can’t apply to travel to other worlds!】

【Han Li: The point cost for cross-realm teleportation scales with strength—it seems early-stage Baoyuan is roughly equivalent to my Foundation Establishment mid-stage!】

【Pang Bo: Then it’s simple! @Ye Chen, most of us in the group can solve this problem for you, but points are precious to everyone. If you want someone to help, you should cover the teleportation cost yourself!】

【Ye Chen: But I don’t have any points!】

【Pang Bo: No problem—the group distributes points monthly, and you gain points when the group levels up. We can cover it for you now; you can repay us once you have points.】

【Ye Chen: That works! @Pang Bo, Brother Pang, what’s your current cultivation level? Can you handle my problem?】

【Pang Bo: Hahaha! You want me to cross-realm and help you? No problem—I’ll make quick preparations and arrive right away!】

Since arriving on Beidou Star, Pang Bo had been diligently cultivating.

Unlike Ye Fan, who was a Sacred Body and faced immense difficulty in cultivation, needing to push each realm to its absolute limit,

he had, in just over half a year, used the "Dao Jing" to reach the final stage of the Wheel Sea Secret Realm—Bian’an!

Of course, this progress was aided by the vast resources he obtained from Lu Qingshan and the many precious spirit herbs he acquired after killing the Han Elder.

However, after he and Ye Fan used the laser gun gifted by Group Master Lu Qingshan to kill the Han Elder who sought to capture Ye Fan for alchemy, they had hidden in his lair to cultivate in peace—this was also why Pang Bo had so much time to linger in the group.

Yet staying in one place to cultivate had become unbearably dull for Pang Bo.

Now that he had finally reached the Bian’an Realm and Ye Chen had just invited him to resolve a problem, this was an opportunity he could not miss!

So he quickly informed his friend Ye Fan and prepared to teleport across realms immediately.

But at that moment, he suddenly noticed Xiao Yan’s reminder in the group.

【Xiao Yan: @Pang Bo, Brother Pang, you’re over 24 years old now, right? Be careful when you go—don’t get killed by the Tianmeng Ancient Land’s rules!】

Reading this, Pang Bo paused in surprise.

Though the chat group’s magic might exempt him from the Tianmeng Ancient Land’s rules, he’d still prefer to avoid them if possible.

Thinking this over, Pang Bo quickly devised a plan.

【Pang Bo: That’s a valid concern! @Ye Chen, how about I go after you’ve left the Tianmeng Ancient Land?】

…

In the rest chamber of a spaceship in the "Devouring Starry Sky" world.

Watching the group chat logs, Lu Qingshan couldn’t help but smile.

As the group members grew more familiar with each other, such minor matters no longer required his direct intervention.

After all, Ye Chen was still in the early stages of cultivation, facing enemies no stronger than Baoyuan or Xingji Realm—several group members could easily handle them, making it unnecessary for the group master to act.

Due to differences in time flow between worlds and the chat group, while the group chatted, Ye Chen in the Tianmeng War Hall swiftly defeated his final two opponents and claimed the last treasure within the hall—the Earth-Class Mid-Grade technique: "Tai Xuan Gong"!

【Ye Chen: @Pang Bo, Brother Pang, are you ready?】

【Pang Bo: Don’t worry—I’m all set. As soon as you leave the Tianmeng Ancient Land, I can arrive anytime!】

【Ye Chen: Good!】

After receiving Pang Bo’s confirmation, Ye Chen immediately stepped into the teleportation channel within the Tianmeng War Hall.

…

Outside the Tianmeng Ancient Land, in the endless desert.

Elders and prodigies from countless sects across neighboring nations had gathered together.

The two top prodigies on the Potential Dragon List had both departed wounded; everyone was speculating what had happened inside the Tianmeng Ancient Land.

Had they fought each other and both been injured? Or had they been defeated by another expert?

At that moment, the light gate ahead opened again, and a white-robed figure flew out.

“Who is it?”

“Another one emerged? But all the Potential Dragon List experts should have already left!”

“Could this person be the one who injured Yuan Hengying and Zhuang Fei?”

Seeing Ye Chen emerge from the light gate, elders and prodigies from various sects began whispering among themselves.

Meanwhile, the elders of Zhongyuemen widened their eyes, all hoping this final figure was their missing eldest disciple, Hong Qianjun!

What they didn’t know was that Hong Qianjun had already been killed by Ye Chen before the prodigies even entered the Tianmeng War Hall.

Shhh!

As the figure landed, it revealed a Liuyun Sect disciple clad in moon-white robes—it was Ye Chen, who had just joined the Multiverse Chat Group!

“It’s a Liuyun Sect disciple!”

Aside from a few who knew Ye Chen’s true strength, everyone else found it baffling that the final one was from Liuyun Sect.

After all, although Liuyun Sect’s strength was comparable to an Eighth-Rank Sect, it was currently only a Ninth-Rank Sect.

Previously, Ye Chen had been relatively unknown among Liuyun Sect disciples, so most present had never heard his name.

But now that the teleportation gate had closed, it confirmed Ye Chen was the last to emerge from the Tianmeng Ancient Land—and he must have participated in the final three treasures’ contest, possibly even claiming one or two.

Thinking of this, the eldest elder of Zhongyuemen’s eyes flashed with cold light.

At that moment, Ye Chen flickered and quickly returned to the Liuyun Sect group.

“Ye Chen, was everything smooth?”

“Ye Chen, I didn’t expect you to make it to the end!”

“Ye Chen, excellent! You didn’t bring shame to Liuyun Sect!”

As Liuyun Sect’s elders and elite disciples warmly greeted Ye Chen, the eldest elder of Zhongyuemen suddenly stepped forward.

He walked toward Ye Chen, releasing an immensely powerful aura, and said coldly: “Hmph, boy, have you seen my eldest disciple Hong Qianjun?”

Hearing this, Luo Hanshan, a Liuyun Sect disciple nearby, paled.

He had personally witnessed Ye Chen slay Hong Qianjun; seeing the Zhongyuemen elder approach, he naturally grew anxious.

But Ye Chen knew clearly that these Zhongyuemen people had no idea he had killed Hong Qianjun.

Their confrontation now stemmed only from Hong Qianjun’s death, his own possible acquisition of treasures from the Tianmeng Ancient Land, and Liuyun Sect’s weak status—making him an ideal target for murder and theft.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen immediately called out to Pang Bo in the group.

【Ye Chen: Brother Pang, I’m about to fight—have you prepared?】

【Pang Bo: Brother Ye Chen, don’t forget to turn on the livestream—let these guys in the group see my peerless heroism in battle!】

【System Prompt: Pang Bo activated the cross-realm teleportation channel. Approve?】

Seeing the system prompt, Ye Chen immediately approved.

To avoid drawing attention, after consulting with Pang Bo, he set Pang Bo’s teleportation destination to a location invisible to everyone present.

He then activated the group livestream function as Pang Bo advised.

【System Prompt: Ye Chen activated the group livestream.】

Having completed all preparations, Ye Chen calmly faced the Zhongyuemen eldest elder and said: “I don’t know him.”

Hearing this, other Zhongyuemen elders who understood their leader’s intentions began speaking up.

“Lies! My eldest disciple Hong Qianjun is a top young expert on the Potential Dragon List—how could you not know him?”

“You must have ambushed and killed him!”

“Elder, this man is highly suspicious—let’s take him back to Zhongyuemen for interrogation!”

“Exactly! I don’t believe he’ll stay so defiant once we bring him to Zhongyuemen!”

At this moment, the Zhongyuemen elders radiated murderous intent.

Their eldest disciple Hong Qianjun had died in the Tianmeng Ancient Land, leaving their expedition nearly empty-handed, while Ye Chen was the last to emerge—possibly carrying treasures from within. Even if he hadn’t killed Hong Qianjun, they had no intention of letting him go!

“Hmph!”

The eldest elder of Liuyun Sect also unleashed a powerful aura, stepping forward two paces to stand before Ye Chen: “When did Liuyun Sect’s disciples become your Zhongyuemen’s prey?”

A senior elder of Zhongyuemen, upon hearing this, scoffed immediately: “Your Liuyun Sect disciple is now suspected of murdering my Zhongyuemen’s eldest disciple, so he must be taken back to Zhongyuemen for trial! Liuyun Sect’s Grand Elder, I advise you to cooperate with us and hand over this boy willingly, lest you bring great disaster upon your Liuyun Sect—you’ll regret it too late!”

“What a joke!”

Liuyun Sect’s Fourth Elder stepped forward two paces and roared: “If you take away one of our Liuyun Sect disciples today, won’t we lose all our face?”

“Don’t even think about it. Whoever dares lay a hand on my Liuyun Sect disciple will face death without mercy!”

“And by what right?”

Zhongyuemen’s Grand Elder sneered, his aura exploding once more: “I’ll kill you like slaughtering a dog, boy—come here!”

No sooner had he spoken than a terrifying suction force erupted from his palm, aiming to drag Ye Chen straight into his grasp.

“Slice!”

Ye Chen swung his iron spear, unleashing an invincible sword qi that severed the suction force in one stroke.

Seeing this, Zhongyuemen’s Grand Elder intensified his attack.

At that moment, Liuyun Sect’s Grand Elder also moved.

But mindful of Zhongyuemen’s strength, he merely acted to shield Ye Chen—no matter how hard the opponent strained, Ye Chen remained unmoved.

Seeing this, Zhongyuemen’s elder flew into a rage.

“You’re asking for death!”

A torrent of earth-yellow true qi erupted from Zhongyuemen’s Grand Elder, crushing toward Liuyun Sect’s Grand Elder—it was the famed Zhongyuemen technique, Collapse Mountain Seal!

“Purple Light Void Heaven!”

Liuyun Sect’s Grand Elder’s robes billowed as he thrust one finger forward, instantly piercing through the Collapse Mountain Seal.

With the two sects’ Grand Elders now clashing, other elders on both sides joined the fray.

“Dare to oppose Zhongyuemen? Kill them all!”

“Liuyun Sect, listen to my order—kill!”

The strongest warriors of both sects instantly clashed.

Yet Zhongyuemen, as a seventh-rank sect, held a clear edge over Liuyun Sect, and had sent more warriors to the Tianmeng Ancient Land.

Thus, even at the outset of battle, Liuyun Sect was already at a disadvantage.

Just as Ye Chen prepared to hand his low-grade Qi-Exhaling Spear to Liuyun Sect’s powerful Fourth Elder, a booming laugh echoed from the horizon.

“Hahahaha! Brother Ye Chen, I didn’t arrive too late, did I?”

Before the voice faded, a towering figure appeared before them.

He was immensely tall, with bronze-toned skin and thick black hair cascading down to his waist—it was Pang Bo, arrived from another realm.

Seeing Pang Bo appear, Ye Chen couldn’t help but smile.

Though he didn’t know Pang Bo’s exact cultivation level, the fact that he dared cross realms to aid him meant he must have confidence.

At that moment, Pang Bo, his long hair flowing, charged toward the Zhongyuemen elders.

“Boy, die!”

A Zhongyuemen elder at mid-Baoyuan Realm, seeing Pang Bo charging barehanded, launched a flying kick from midair.

BOOM!

The kick produced a sonic boom in the air.

Yet facing this terrifying kick, Pang Bo merely strode forward and swung one fist casually upward.

CRACK!

The Zhongyuemen elder’s leg struck Pang Bo’s casual fist—and instantly let out a horrific, agonized scream.

Then, with another casual punch, Pang Bo slammed into the elder’s chest, blasting him dozens of meters away before he crashed heavily into the desert, his life force extinguished.

In mere moments, a Zhongyuemen elder, a specialist in leg techniques at the peak of mid-Baoyuan Realm, was dead—the first warrior to fall in this battle.

“What?!”

All onlookers around were stunned.

That was a mid-Baoyuan Realm peak expert! Even a peak Baoyuan Realm warrior would need prolonged combat to kill him!

Yet now, this mysterious newcomer had slain him with a single punch—utterly unbelievable.

The Zhongyuemen warriors, who had held the upper hand, were equally shocked.

Immediately, Zhongyuemen’s Grand Elder dispatched several even stronger elders to attack Pang Bo.

“Hahahaha! Come on!”

Seeing the Zhongyuemen elders charging toward him, Pang Bo’s face lit up with excitement as he charged forward.

Meanwhile, within the chat group, all members watched the battle live.

[Xiao Yan: Brother Pang, you’re having a blast! Should I come over and join the fun?]

Earlier, when Han Feng had led men to Jianan Academy, Xiao Yan had been subduing the Fallen Heart Flame and missed all combat—now that the chance had come, he was eager to join.

Seeing Xiao Yan’s message, Pang Bo knocked back his opponent with a punch and replied in the chat group.

[Pang Bo: Brother Xiao Yan, don’t you dare come!]

[Pang Bo: With your current strength, one Buddha’s Wrath Lotus would kill at least half the people here—then no one would be left to fight!]

Seeing Pang Bo’s message, Xiao Yan of Jianan Academy couldn’t help but laugh.

Pang Bo was right.

These Baoyuan Realm warriors, though strong, were no more than Great Grandmaster or Battle Spirit level on the Qi Condensation Continent—his own Battle King power would turn this into a one-sided massacre!
