Chapter 70

Thump!

What does she mean?

In this Eastern Wasteland, with Ye Xuan, and before he descends, the Eastern Wasteland's number one, Su Changfeng, is only at the peak of the Martial Sect realm.

A sudden, inexplicable panic welled up in the Sixth Prince's heart, as if something was about to slip from his grasp in an instant.

Boom!

The next second,

His mind and soul were greatly shaken, as if he heard the most unimaginable sound in the world: 'Do you want to become the second Ye Feng?'

It's her!

The Ye family's second son, Ye Feng, had his meridians abolished, his dantian shattered, and his tongue cut off in the dead of night; a Martial Sect realm Dao Protector, he hadn't even seen what the opponent looked like.

How could it be her?

"For the sake of being with A Chen, I've painstakingly laid plans for so many years; how could I succumb to your threats? You say A Chen will die in the Myriad Demon Mountain Range—then just wait and see."

"I insist he reign supreme over the Eastern Wasteland, shaking ancient and modern times!"

"Just watch."

"On the Northern Ice Continent, no one can harm him in the slightest—not even me."

"Qingxia, go!"

In the instant Qingxia's downcast eyes lifted, she unintentionally caught Liu Liyan's eyes bursting with affection and tenderness, and wore a look as if she'd seen a ghost—could this still be her, the palace mistress who holds power over life and death?

Taking another look, the Sixth Prince stood frozen in place.

Her heart pounded as she rode the Flame‑God Steed, and another part of her couldn't help but scream wildly inside: "Heavens! Heavens! What shocking secret have I overheard? Is this something I'm allowed to hear? Will the master…?"

She almost instinctively covered her ears.

She sealed her six senses, feigning deafness and muteness.

But those few words kept echoing in her mind…

Is the master the Holy Maiden of the Zi Yang Sect?

Besides, it must be Su Chen, no one else will suffice.

In the end, he could only let Liu Liyan sweep past his field of vision until she vanished from his sight, still dazed, like a stone statue waiting for her husband.

In an instant.

The Sixth Prince seemed to have all his energy drained, his body went limp and he toppled backward, finally plopping down onto the cold blue stone slab, his mood as icy as the stone.

He shielded his eyes with both hands, staring intently at this pair of hands that could not retain his beloved.

"Bang! Bang!"

"Ahhh! Su Chen, go die!"

"This prince swears before the Heavenly Dao that, in my lifetime, I will surely take Liyan back from your hands!"

At this moment, his inner demon was born.

His state of mind also underwent a complete transformation.

The Sixth Prince's eyes were bloodshot; at this moment, his Martial Sovereign realm cultivation was unleashed without reservation, killing intent boiling over.

……

Two days later.

Near the Myriad Monsters Mountain Range lay a remote border town.

Outside the city, demon beasts roamed; beneath the city lay piles of bones, a sight too horrible to behold.

Ye Xuan ordered that no faction be allowed to sell spirit stones to Yunhai City.

Furthermore, he dispatched five thousand cultivators to ambush Su Chen and seize the supreme inheritance on his person.

As for the Tianxuan Dao Sect's cultivators, life or death.

"Five thousand?!"

"Just over a dozen people, and you need five thousand?!"

"Young Master Ye Xuan, aren't you being overly wary of the Tianxuan Dao Sect?"

The city lord, his face full of doubtful uncertainty.

The two chief and deputy commanders sitting opposite each other exchanged glances, saying nothing more.

He turned the jade slip in his hand over and over, examining it repeatedly.

On the Northern Ice Continent, the fastest way to transmit information is via jade‑slip sound transmission, which consumes little divine sense and can be done swiftly.

The two received Ye Xuan's notice: "The son of the Tianxuan Dao Sect bears demonic arts, colludes with outsiders; now the identity of the demon ancestor's descendant has been exposed, and he intends to flee to avoid punishment."

"Among these more than ten people, only two are Martial Sect masters, and one is possibly a supreme Martial Sect."

"They possess talismans and many ancient imperial holy weapons; back when they were in the Qingming Sect, they relied on these to fight one against a hundred, and even without breaking a sweat or flushing, they easily dealt with five hundred cultivators."

The city lord rubbed his temples, finding the jade‑slip sound transmission more and more absurd.

"The talisman‑maker lineage has been extinct for eight hundred years; what seventh‑grade healing holy medicine, the Rejuvenation Pill, even the Eastern Wasteland's foremost alchemist is only fifth grade; moreover, with the Tianxuan Dao Sect's foundation, could they possibly invite those two to serve as offerings and have them craft talismans and pills for them?"

Nevertheless, no matter how doubtful they were, they still had to follow Young Master Ye's orders.

The commander shook his head and took out a sheepskin map from his storage ring.

He pointed to a hollow in the mountain range and said, "City lord, our Dragon City's cultivators and wandering practitioners together number about seven thousand."

"This valley is a necessary passage for Su Chen on his way to the spatial teleportation array."

"Based on the timing, Su Chen and his companions should soon enter the Myriad Monster Mountain Range; they are few in number, eager to meet Su Changfeng, and flying alone on their swords would be too conspicuous. To avoid unnecessary trouble, they would likely choose the spatial teleportation array."

"Tonight we will muster five thousand cultivators, set up formations near the valley, ambush the forces, and prepare a sure‑kill strike."

"This jade slip describes the talismans as so powerful that beneath Martial Sovereign level one either dies or is injured; I want to see what tremendous inheritance Su Chen has obtained."

This jade slip describes the talisman scriptures as so powerful that below a Martial Venerable, one either dies or is injured; I really want to see what extraordinary inheritance Su Chen has obtained.

However—

What they never expected was that Su Chen had already guessed Ye Xuan would not let it go; he would definitely mobilize his connections and have people ambush them halfway.

Therefore, upon entering the territory of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, he had no intention of using the teleportation array.

At this moment he was leisurely sitting with his family in a tea house, listening to storytelling.

Behind him, a stack of Divine Fire Talismans was ready.

Su Chen sipped his tea, half-narrowing his eyes as he gazed at the treasury of Longcheng.

Longcheng lies on the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range and often faces beast tides, so reinforcements are frequently sent.

The most advantageous against demon beasts is a Formation Master, of course, assuming the talisman-crafting inheritance in the Eastern Wasteland has not been cut off.

Therefore, the number of Formation Masters plays an absolute role.

Well,

Su Chen personally saw that half of the Formation Masters guarding the treasury had been transferred away.

Only about a hundred remained.

"Su Xiaozi…" After taking the Rejuvenation Pill, Sect Master Liu quickly unblocked the meridians sealed on his body.

In his mind kept replaying the scene from that night in the Black Water Heavenly Prison: "Liyan, you know she's been physically weak since childhood."

"Don't just look at her being a Wu Zong realm cultivator; she never steps out, like a flower kept in a greenhouse, a heavenly pride of the Ivory Tower—her cultivation is practically all piled up from pills."

"What do you suggest we do if she encounters danger in Qianyuan City?"

"If she runs into a slightly stronger Martial Emperor, she probably couldn't beat him, let alone the fact that the Ye Clan now has over a hundred Wu Zong cultivators."

"As her mother, I simply can't imagine how she could survive in such a world."

As Sect Master Liu spoke, tears like broken pearls streamed down her cheeks uncontrollably.

Su Chen rubbed his forehead, suddenly feeling a headache, his heart unsettled by what she said.

But right now, on his father's side, the spirit stones are about to run out; without spirit stone supply, the Spirit Gathering Array cannot be set up, spirit eruptions occur frequently, and the lives of thousands of cultivators are in Su Chen's hands.
