Chapter 597

Hahaha! With Senior Brother Ye Qin here, who dares to bully

Wuuu! Senior Brother Ye Qin, you finally appeared!

……

In an instant, several million Sect disciples were so excited they could not restrain themselves, some wailing loudly, some laughing uproariously to the heavens, some overjoyed, myriad reactions. Yet in their eyes sprang boundless vitality and hope, as if they had seen the savior descend in despair.

It is no exaggeration to say that their admiration and reverence for Ye Qin even surpass that of the Sect Master Tongtian. After all, their present cultivation and Daoist attainment are entirely thanks to Ye Qin! Moreover……

The formation Senior Brother Ye Qin set up back then tormented even the Sect Master, reducing him to utter misery.

In the eyes of the Sect disciples, Senior Brother Ye Qin's Divine Ability is vast—so much so that even the Sect Master cannot hope to match it.

Therefore, upon seeing Ye Qin appear, how could the several million Sect disciples not be overjoyed?

In fact, not only the Sect disciples, but even several of the Sect's inner disciples, the Ten Heavenly Kings of Jin'ao Island, Zhen Yuanzi Great Immortal, Nüwa, and the Sect Master Tongtian, etc., were all overjoyed.

Zhen Yuanzi Great Immortal's eyes slightly reddened, he clasped his hands and smiled at Ye Qin: 'Daoist friend Ye Qin, I am truly sorry; I failed to protect the Sect as you wished.'

Ye Qin waved his hand and laughed: 'Senior Zhen Yuanzi, why say that? You owe me nothing; on the contrary, the Sect has brought you no small amount of trouble. The ginseng fruit you sent me, the wine I brewed from it, is absolutely delicious.'

Although he resides in another chaotic world, he knows Zhen Yuanzi's performance in the Fengshen Calamity like the back of his hand, and he deeply admires Zhen Yuanzi's spirit of sacrificing life and righteousness for the Sect.

At this moment, the Sanxiao Sisters gazed at Ye Qin with eyes full of varying colors, their beautiful pupils shimmering.

Bixiao lightly bit her red lip, holding back tears in her eyes, and said: 'You stinky little tiger demon, you didn't keep your word—you said you'd return in ten years, humph! You… you're late!'

Although her words carried a coquettish pout, her flawless white face was suffused with a happy, sweet smile, as if her inner world were filled with sunshine.

Ye Qin smiled and explained: 'Senior Bixiao, better late than never, right? Besides, I still have a few matters to attend to over there; the Grand Dao of that chaotic world is a bit troublesome, delaying me a little.'

What? The Grand Dao of that chaotic world? A bit troublesome?

Ye Qin's words left the beings present and those of the myriad worlds instantly full of questions, as if they hadn't heard clearly.

The Grand Dao is an existence of supreme fairness and supremacy, controlling the source, order, and laws of all things and beings in that world—how could any being possibly dispose of the Grand Dao?

Yet Ye Qin said he had dealt with the Grand Dao, forcing one to wonder just how formidable his strength truly is.

Ye Qin ignored the doubts, continuing to smile at Bixiao: 'Senior Bixiao, your talent is truly excellent—having just grasped a strand of Primordial Qi, you broke through to the sixth level of Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal, truly impressive!'

Hearing this, Bixiao pursed her lips and smiled, emitting a clear, bell-like laugh; the earlier resentment was gone, like a little girl who had obtained her beloved toy, her beautiful eyes curving into crescents.

However, when all beings heard Ye Qin's words, they were once again shocked to the point of being unable to put it into words for a long time.

Could it be that Bixiao's earlier epiphany, which raised her cultivation from the peak of Half-Sage to the sixth level of Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal, was also Ye Qin's doing?

To effortlessly enable beings to break through from the peak of Half-Sage to the sixth level of Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal—what kind of Divine Ability is this? And what supreme divine object is this Primordial Qi?

Since Ye Qin's appearance, almost every word he speaks has shocked all beings to the extreme; his casual remarks sound utterly world-shattering.

Not far away, Nüwa's chaotic beautiful eyes shimmered, she gazed at Ye Qin with blazing intensity, her delicate form trembling slightly.

She finally saw this person who had instantly intrigued her, repeatedly shocking her—the most mysterious one. He indeed did not disappoint her; upon his appearance he awed heaven and earth, sun, moon, and stars, and his words were even more world-shattering.

Moreover, as she had guessed, Bixiao Fairy's earlier epiphany and verification of the Dao in the Mixed Yuan realm, breaking through to the sixth level of Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal, was also his masterpiece.

He is mysterious as if veiled in a light gauze, needing layer after layer to be unveiled. Upon seeing Ye Qin in person, he appears ever more unfathomably mysterious, as if forever shrouded in the deepest enigma.

His appearance rekindled new hope in all Sect disciples.

Nüwa murmured in her heart: 'You… can you resolve this calamity?'

At the same time, Duobao Daoist stepped forward, grinning foolishly at Ye Qin: 'Junior Brother Ye Qin, the Chaos Annihilation Sword you gave me is truly powerful; Senior Brother, I'm feeling great!'

Ye Qin waved his hand and smiled: 'Just a trifle.'

Afterward, Golden Spirit Holy Mother, No-Binding Holy Mother, and several other inner disciples came forward one after another, beginning a relaxed and pleasant chat with Ye Qin.

For a moment, they seemed to forget the impending great calamity, as if with Ye Qin present they had long feared no catastrophe.

'Holy shit!' At that moment, an angry shout rang out, especially abrupt.

Only to see the Sect Master Tongtian with a fallen face, incessantly patting the seven-colored light barrier. Seeing the several million Sect disciples looking over, he darkened his face and shouted at Ye Qin: 'You damn little fox demon, don't rush to catch up with those little turtles—can't you first let Master out? Master's about to die of boredom in here!'

Hahaha!

The several million Sect disciples, seeing the Sect Master Tongtian's aggrieved, pitiful expression, could not help but burst into laughter, the laughter rising and falling, filled with joy.

What's more, they began to joke with the Sect Master Tongtian:

'Haha, little Sect Master, how did you end up inside a bubble? Are you trying to relive childhood fun?'

'Sect Master, quickly tell us, what does it feel like to be trapped in a bubble? Is it as thrilling as the hide-and-seek we played as kids?'

'Sect Master, I'm not saying this about you, but you are the Sect's leader—you ought to mind your image! Don't let outsiders see a joke.'

'Right, right, right, with so many Heavenly Dao sages present, you need to save face for our Sect!' 'Hurry up and come out, let's go together to deal with that old fogey Hongjun!'

……

Listening to these teasing words, the Sect Master Tongtian had black lines sprouting on his forehead, inwardly roaring: 'These little brats, getting more and more insolent! Do you think I don't want to come out? I'm also feeling wronged! You're all gloating over my misfortune—truly heartless!'

As for image, since you all returned from traversing the myriad worlds, seeing me tormented in the formation like this, I hardly have any image left to speak of; besides, what use is image? Better to live happily and carefree.

Of course, the several million Sect disciples had no idea what the Sect Master Tongtian was thinking, still chattering away with jokes.

Just then, Ye Qin seemed to do nothing, yet the void suddenly trembled slightly. Immediately, the seven-colored light barrier binding the Sect Master Tongtian gradually dissipated, finally vanishing into nothing.

'Huh? I'm out?' The Sect Master Tongtian sensed the restraint disappear, stared for a moment, then glared fiercely at the several million Sect disciples, rolling up his sleeves and calling out: 'Come, come, come—who was the little brat who said I don't care about my image? Step forward; I'll have a good talk with him!'

Yet upon seeing the Sect Master Tongtian break free of the seven-colored light barrier, the myriad Sect disciples who had been chattering all at once fell silent, their eyes darting, as if saying: 'Don't look at me, it wasn't me who said that, I had nothing to do with it!'

'Hehehe!' Seeing this, even Nüwa couldn't help but laugh out loud, that laughter sounding like heavenly music, delightful to the ear. The Sect disciples are truly amusing!

Or rather, since Ye Qin appeared, whether Sect disciples or the Sect Master Tongtian, they all seemed to have set down their burdens and worries, releasing their carefree nature.

'He!' Nüwa thought secretly, 'He seems to possess an ineffable charm that can influence everything!' As she gazed at Ye Qin's beautiful eyes, another hint of color appeared.

Actually, the amusing exchange between the several million Sect disciples and the Sect Master Tongtian not only made Nüwa unable to suppress her laughter, but also caused the mighty beings of the myriad worlds watching the battle to burst out laughing, relishing every moment.

Please... you... collect_(!)

'To be honest, I'd like to join a Sect like this!' laughed the Lord of the Great Wilderness.

'Hahaha! Who could resist such a goofy, proud Sect Master Tongtian? Who could resist such adorable Sect disciples?' the Black Emperor burst out laughing.

'Unity, friendship, living and dying together, you fatty, don't you have a group of the finest junior brothers and sisters?' Chen Zhan sighed.

Please, just give me a transmigration gate—I, Old Dragon, am willing to grovel to join the Jie Sect! Pizi Long joked.

Ye Qin's charm is actually so terrifying, it can easily change the atmosphere! Xiao Huohuo exclaimed in amazement.

Hehehe, interesting, truly too interesting! the Talented Empress laughed.

Huh? Empress, why didn't you mention Ye Qin this time? Lady Pingxin asked curiously.

I've already seen him in person, what's there to mention? the Talented Empress laughed.

……

In a moment, the powerhouses of all heavens and myriad worlds were infected by the joyful atmosphere of the Jie Sect disciples and began to laugh. In contrast, the present Yuanshi Tianzun, Laozi, and other Heavenly Dao Saints, as well as Hongjun Patriarch, were the opposite.

Above Honghuang, the summit of the azure heavens.

Millions of Jie Sect disciples gathered together, chatting and laughing happily. The Master of the Sect that Teaches the Way to Heaven also approached Ye Qin, earnestly inquiring about various matters. They felt no tension facing the great calamity; instead, it seemed more like they were holding a grand Jie Sect gathering.

All of this was because Ye Qin's appearance let them temporarily forget their karmic entanglement with Hongjun Patriarch.

Yuanshi Tianzun, Laozi, Jieyin, Zhunti, the four Heavenly Dao Saints, took in all of this; their faces shifted unpredictably, and in their chaotic eyes gleamed sharp light, their gazes unconsciously focusing on that aloof figure—Ye Qin!

He is the initiator who prematurely triggered the Fengshen Calamity, indirectly causing the deaths of many Chan Sect disciples, and furthermore the mastermind secretly manipulating everything!

At this moment, he finally revealed himself.

Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes brimmed with killing intent; he wished to immediately brandish the Pangu Banner and crush Ye Qin's bones and scatter his ashes. But recalling Ye Qin's might when he appeared, he suppressed his anger, daring not to act rashly. After all, Hongjun Patriarch was present, so he did not dare to act recklessly.

Laozi's situation was similar to Yuanshi Tianzun's. Although he did not move, he suddenly stepped forward, his expression cold as he shouted at Ye Qin: 'Ye Qin, do you know your crime?!' His voice sounded like a great thunder, echoing throughout heaven and earth.

In an instant, the millions of Jie Sect disciples all turned their gazes, coldly glancing at Laozi one by one and whispering, 'Old fogey.' Then they fell silent.

Ye Qin, however, looked at Laozi with interest, curling his lips and said: 'I've just returned to Honghuang—what crime do I have? Your precious disciple Xuan Du Dafa Shi is not someone I killed.' When he said 'Xuan Du Dafa Shi', he especially emphasized the tone.

Upon hearing this, Laozi's face alternated between gloom and clear, killing intent coiling around his brows, his murderous intent fully revealed. Murderous aura surged around him; he wished to immediately suppress and kill Ye Qin on the spot. But in the end, he still suppressed his anger and coldly shouted: 'Ye Qin, you are lawless and heaven-defying, you killed the Chan Sect disciple Guang Chengzi, you angrily rebuked the Heavenly Dao Saint Yuanshi Tianzun, you single-handedly led the Fengshen Calamity to come early, indirectly causing the Chan Sect disciples to perish and lose their Dao, forced onto the Fengshen List, forever losing their freedom. Your sins are monstrous, unforgivable!'

As he spoke, Laozi's voice sounded like a great thunder, spreading throughout the boundless region, endowed with endless heavenly Dao power, as if he were enforcing heaven's will, expounding Ye Qin's crimes.

However, facing Laozi's thunderous wrath, Ye Qin's mouth corner slightly rose, revealing a teasing smile. He lightly uttered three words: 'Then what?'

He neither argued nor refuted, merely asking those three words lightly. But those three words were like a poisonous thorn, fiercely stabbing Laozi's primordial spirit, leaving him wanting to speak but unable.

Laozi originally thought Ye Qin would argue in every possible way, then he would refute with reason and denounce Ye Qin. But he never expected Ye Qin to be so calm, directly asking 'Then what,' leaving him with no outlet for his strength, nearly choking on his own blood from frustration.

Yuanshi Tianzun stepped forward and, replacing Laozi, shouted in a cold voice: 'Ye Qin, since you know your crimes, you should destroy your cultivation level, suffer the heavenly tribulation, and be blasted to ashes! Otherwise, boundless karmic force will be added to you, and your fate will only be more miserable!'

Ye Qin looked at Yuanshi Tianzun with a half-smile, and again lightly said: 'How miserable?'

Upon hearing this, millions of Jie Sect disciples had countless black lines sweep across their foreheads, speechless at Ye Qin's words. But soon after, they couldn't help bursting into loud laughter. Ye Qin's retorting language was used to perfection!

They laughed while praising Ye Qin: 'Hahaha! As expected of you, Ye Qin senior brother, you retort well!' 'Exactly! So what if we moved the Fengshen Calamity forward? Then what?' 'What's the point of talking about boundless karmic force clinging to the body, suffering heavenly tribulation blasts? How miserable could you blast Ye Qin senior brother?' 'I'm dying of laughter!' 'Look at the faces of those two old fogeys—it's like eating shit, truly satisfying!' 'Shush! Mind your image, how can you speak like that about Heavenly Dao Saints? At least change your wording!' 'Hahaha! Makes sense, makes sense, I was wrong!'

Yuanshi Tianzun and Laozi listened to the millions of Jie Sect disciples' condemnations, their faces darkening to the extreme, killing intent unhidden in their brows. They swore that they were about to lose control and go berserk, no matter how heavy the price, they wanted to wipe out all of these fellows.

At this moment, the Master of the Sect that Teaches the Way to Heaven also glanced at Yuanshi Tianzun and Laozi, interjecting: 'Yuanshi, Laozi, hear my advice: when it's none of your business, don't jump out. Otherwise, isn't this just bringing disgrace upon yourselves? How embarrassing!' (End of chapter)
