Chapter 196: Liquidation, Yuechan Becomes Qingyi

"Brother Shi Hao! I must go to settle accounts with the Butian Sect first. Once things are finished, I will come back to reminisce with you," Mengchen said suddenly.

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao immediately spoke up: "I will go with you!"

Only true brothers would support one's actions so unreservedly.

Shi Hao's impulsive words made Mengchen feel very gratified. He patted Shi Hao on the shoulder and said, "Good brother, I can see that you have just reunited with your parents and brothers after a long separation. You need not worry; I can wipe out the mere Butian Sect with a wave of my hand."

Shi Hao looked at Mengchen with a sincere gaze and said, "Alright then! Take care!"

After a brief farewell, Mengchen set off with Heizi, Xiyao, Xiaohuang, and Yuechan. Upon hearing that they were going to raze the Butian Sect's dao grounds, Yuechan was very reluctant to go, but due to Mengchen's "lewd might," she had no choice but to depart with them.

In Yuechan's heart, although she was determined to make a clean break with the Butian Sect, she had grown up there after all. To witness the Butian Sect's dao grounds being overturned with her own eyes was still too cruel.

The five of them each unleashed the Kunpeng Technique or the True Phoenix Technique, streaking across the sky, their speed pushed to the limit.

After several days of travel, they finally saw the Butian Sect in the mountains in the distance.

Clouds and mist swirled there, divine rays of light scattered down, and the Butian Sect was hidden within the rainbows of the clouds.

"Swish, swish, swish..." The five of them arrived in unison before the Butian Sect's dao grounds.

Looking at the well-arranged buildings with golden walls and glazed tiles ahead, Mengchen said nothing. He directly gripped the Gilded Zen Staff in his hand, which bloomed with brilliant radiance. As his Divine Power surged, the Gilded Zen Staff expanded violently, plunging into the clouds above, pouring out boundless golden light; its terrifying aura was truly shocking.

"Boom..." The massive Vajra Pestle descended, directly shattering the Butian Sect's mountain gate and destroying nearly half of the buildings.

"Who is it that dares to offend my Butian Sect? Die!" Several explosive shouts came from within in unison.

"Shoo, shoo, shoo..."

Eight Venerables appeared in succession. Mengchen was not unfamiliar with these eight; they were the Elders of the Butian Sect.

"It's actually you, you little beast." One Elder recognized Mengchen and cursed loudly.

The expressions of the remaining seven also turned cold in an instant, becoming murderous; clearly, they had also recognized Mengchen.

Upon hearing this, Mengchen raised his hand, his gaze fixed on those eight Elders becoming icy: "Xiaohuang! Heizi! Go, kill them."

"Yes! Master!" Xiaohuang cupped her hands to Mengchen in response, then transformed into a ball of red fire and streaked out.

Heizi said nothing, directly erupting with boundless black light as he surged forward.

"My lady, forgive me!" Mengchen struck instantly, taking advantage of Yuechan's lack of preparation to seal her Divine Power once again.

Yuechan's pretty face was filled with shock, and as her pink lips parted, she cursed: "You actually ambushed me, you are shameless! Why are you sealing my Divine Power at a time like this?!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the Kunpeng wings behind her dissipated because her Divine Power was sealed. Just as she was about to fall, she was caught in Mengchen's arms.

Regarding Yuechan's angry words at this moment, Mengchen showed no anger, but instead said with interest: "For your sake, my lady, your husband has racked his brains. It's just that I'm afraid you'll slip away in the chaos and be beheaded by your Main Body."

Knowing that Yuechan, who was being held, would resist next, Mengchen immediately pushed Yuechan from his arms to Xiyao, who was to the side, saying: "Xiyao, you stay here and look after her!"

"Mm, okay! Brother Mengchen, go fight without worry!" Xiyao said with a smile, supporting Yuechan so she would not fall.

Yuechan gritted her teeth, her beautiful eyes wide open, glaring at Mengchen in anger, but she was helpless against this.

"Boom..., bang..."

In the void, Heizi and Xiaohuang were already locked in battle with the eight Butian Sect Elders.

In an instant, Mengchen opened eleven Cave Heavens. In a flash, Divine Radiance erupted from the Cave Heavens, blooming with boundless golden light, making him look dazzling and brilliant, like a shining golden star.

"Bang..." His shoulders shook slightly, and a pair of golden-red True Phoenix Wings emerged from his back.

"Wings..."

He transformed into a True Phoenix, flapping his wings and soaring high. His speed was so fast it could almost be described as covering a thousand or ten thousand miles in an instant.

"Flying Phoenix Claw!"

Flying into the battle circle, he directly unleashed the True Phoenix divine ability, Flying Phoenix Claw. As several cold claw marks appeared in the void, three Butian Sect Elders were torn into pieces. The sight of blood splashing was chilling.

"Flying Phoenix Claw!" At this moment, Xiaohuang took over, also unleashing this divine ability, and two Butian Sect Elders perished immediately.

"Nine-Nether World-Extinguishing!" Over at Heizi's side, mist obscured the heavenly secrets, enveloping two Elders. He unleashed his own divine ability; nine dragon heads with ferocious and terrifying tails appeared, their bloody maws incomparably shocking.

"Squish..." Fresh blood splattered across the sky, and those two Venerables were swallowed up in an instant.

Seeing this, Mengchen was astonished; Heizi's strength had unexpectedly grown terrifyingly once again.

"No..., this isn't real, how is this possible..." The only remaining Butian Sect Elder seemed to have been scared silly; he appeared at a loss, retreating in terror.

In just a short moment, seven Venerable-level Elders had been killed, which he found impossible to accept.

"This..." Xiyao and Yuechan watched, their hearts pounding.

Yuechan reminded herself in her heart that she had already left the Butian Sect and their deaths had nothing to do with her, which made the shock deep within her heart less intense.

"You die too!"

Mengchen formed seals, golden-red light surging behind him, stirring the wind and clouds, turning the void above into a deep red.

"Ah..." A True Phoenix appeared in the red light, flapping its wings and flying out to strike the last Elder.

"Rumble..."

Suddenly, a silver light descended abruptly from the sky, shattering the flying True Phoenix.

A sharp figure walked out from the silver light; it was the Butian Sect Master of the Lower Realm, Qitianyan!

"Heh heh... Old thing! You finally decided to come out." Mengchen looked at Qitianyan and sneered.

"Little friend! Including the previous ones, you have already killed nine of our sect's Elders. Can this not make you let go of the resentment in your heart? Your master Jinchanzi is perfectly fine after all; why not just let us go?"

Qitianyan kept a very low profile, showing signs of yielding, which was a bit too abnormal.

In reality, ever since retreating from the Lingshan of the Xuan Domain that day, the Upper Realm Sect Master of the Butian Sect had issued a decree, ordering Qitianyan never to provoke the Western Sect again, nor to provoke Mengchen, who was protected by a Supreme.

Mengchen stared at the abnormal Qitianyan, saying nothing for a time.

Seeing that Mengchen did not speak, Qitianyan took the initiative to say: "Little friend! If you feel it is still not enough, I will behead him for you."

As he finished speaking, Qitianyan struck directly, unleashing silver Divine Fire and burning the only surviving Elder beside him into fly ash alive.

Before that Elder died, he did not even manage to let out a single scream before being burned to fly ash by the Sect Master he trusted.

Mengchen, Xiaohuang, Heizi, and the others were extremely shocked at this; Qitianyan's ruthlessness was hair-raising.

Even Yuechan in the distance had never expected that Qitianyan's appearance would lead to such a scene; he had actually gone so far as to kill his own sect's Elders with his own hands to curry favor just to save himself. "Little friend, are you satisfied now...? If it is still not enough..." As he finished speaking, Qitianyan waved his hand, and a silver light swept out, capturing more than ten Butian Sect disciples in an instant.

"If that is still not enough, I will execute them before you as well, hoping their blood can wash away the resentment in your heart toward my Butian Sect." Qitianyan's words and actions appeared very frivolous, not taking the lives of these disciples seriously in the slightest.

Hearing this, the Butian Sect disciples who had been detained suddenly realized the situation and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Sect Master, spare us!"

"Sect Master, you cannot treat us like this."

"Sect Master, you are our Sect Master in the Lower Realm; how can you kill your own disciples?"

"Shut your mouths!" Qitianyan roared, his fierce aura surging, causing the group of clamoring disciples to not dare speak another word.

At this moment, Mengchen finally spoke, his gaze cold and sharp: "I only want your blood!"

Qitianyan's ruthlessness exceeded Mengchen's expectations; if this person were left alive, he would surely be a scourge in the future, so it was better to kill him to avoid future trouble.

Hearing this, a look of shock appeared on Qitianyan's face, and he immediately bowed with cupped hands: "Why must you be so persistent, little friend? If that is still not enough, I am willing to travel from here to Lingshan to apologize to fellow Daoist Jinchanzi. To show my sincerity, I am willing to kowtow every step of the way."

"You don't have to go through so much trouble! Just stretch out your head, and let me cut it off." A flash of light flickered in Mengchen's pupils.

"Little friend! Must you be like this?" Qitianyan asked.

"There is no other way! You old thing, you must die today!" Mengchen said sternly.

Immediately, Divine Power surged within Mengchen's body, and he called out: "Heizi, Xiaohuang, attack together!"

As he finished speaking, Mengchen, Shi Hao, and Heizi all charged out.

"Hmph! Since it has come to this, then come! It is not so easy to take my life. No matter what, I am a deity; how could I be killed just because you want to?"

Seeing that Mengchen and the others were determined to kill, Qitianyan decided to stop fawning, and silver divine flames danced all over his body.

"Fengming Sound!"

"Nine-Nether World-Extinguishing!"

"Kunpeng Precious Technique!"

"Sanfo Bashi!"

"Flying Phoenix Claw!"

"Kunpeng Fist!"

"Boom..." The scene was stunning and peerless, as Mengchen, Xiaohuang, and Heizi unleashed their supreme techniques one after another.

Even though Qitianyan was a Divine Fire powerhouse, it was difficult for him to withstand the successive attacks of such supreme techniques.

"Puff...! Boom..."

Grand flowers of blood bloomed in the sky, and Qitianyan was finally blasted into a mist of blood under the joint attack of the three.

Originally, if he had unleashed the Vajra Pestle, Mengchen alone would have been enough to slay Qitianyan.

But Mengchen felt that since there was an opportunity to fight a battle against a deity, it would be better to let Xiaohuang and Heizi participate as well to gain insight into the strength of a Divine Fire powerhouse, which would be of great benefit to their future cultivation.

Afterward, facing the group of Butian Sect disciples, Mengchen ultimately did not raise his butcher's knife; slaying all their elders and Qitianyan was enough.

The three of them retreated, and Mengchen lifted the seal on Yuechan's Divine Power, gazing at her as he said: "Your Butian Sect is truly impressive! The person in power would actually kill his own disciples just to save his own life."

"The Butian Sect is the Butian Sect, and I am me! Do not mention me in the same breath as them in the future," Yuechan retorted. Clearly, from her expression, it could be seen that she also held great disdain for Qitianyan's previous actions.

As she finished speaking, a bright glow bloomed from Yuechan's entire body, momentarily obscuring the secrets of heaven and making it impossible for Mengchen and the others to see clearly.

A moment later, the glow on Yuechan's body dissipated, and Mengchen and the others saw that her appearance had undergone a earth-shattering change.

If she previously possessed the holy appearance of the Yuechan Main Body, then now, she was entirely herself, truly becoming a different person from that Yuechan.

Her current appearance was like dew under the first light of dawn, crystal clear, and like a clear spring in the mountains, pure and untainted.

Her features were as exquisite as a painting; her eyebrows were like distant mountains containing dark ink, her eyes like the vast autumn waters, and as her gaze shifted, it contained both the light of profound wisdom and endless gentleness and tenderness.

Her skin was like a newly bloomed petal, delicate and fair, with a faint pink hue, as if one could feel that softness and warmth from nature with a light touch.

Her long hair was black and glossy, as smooth as silk, held up by a simple yet elegant hair accessory, swaying gently with the wind, adding a touch of grace and liveliness.

Mengchen stared dumbfounded, smiling foolishly, his brows twitching as he said: "Wife! You are truly too beautiful."

Beside them, Xiyao, Heizi, and Xiaohuang, seeing Mengchen like this, also felt a sense of disdain.

Yuechan frowned, glared at Mengchen, and then faced Xiyao primarily: "Don't call me Yuechan in the future, and don't randomly call me 'wife'. From today on, I am Qingyi!"

"Very well! Fairy Qingyi!" Xiyao said with a smile.

Qingyi also smiled at Xiyao; perhaps among the five of them, Xiyao was the only one who could get along with Qingyi.

"Good! My wife Qingyi! Husband will remember: Qingyi, Qingyi, clear water producing ripples, clear and clean, truly a good name," Mengchen whispered with a smile.

Seeing this, Qingyi swept a cold glance at him; she knew Mengchen was a rascal, so she couldn't be bothered to argue further.

Afterward, they did not say much more and headed toward the Stone Kingdom Imperial Palace.

A few days later, Mengchen and the others arrived at the Stone Kingdom Imperial Palace to reunite with Shi Hao.

That day, Mengchen brought out the corpses of the Yinshi Zunzhe and others he had collected, and had Shi Hao cook a large pot of Venerable meat; they ate and drank, having a wonderful time.

From this day on, Mengchen and the others, who intended to wait for the Vajra Pestle here, began to immerse themselves in cultivation due to boredom.

He was contemplating the Original True Explanation obtained in the Chaos Ancient Palace of the Sun Divine Tree, immersed in it and unable to extricate himself! Xiyao, Heizi, and the others were the same.

Previously, he had heard Shi Hao say that Shi Hao had long since comprehended the God Guidance Chapter of the Original True Explanation, so whenever Mengchen had doubts, he would ask Shi Hao for advice, and Shi Hao would tell him everything he knew, explaining his own insights one by one.

To thank Shi Hao, Mengchen also brought out the Zhenhuang technique to repay him, and at the same time, guided Shi Hao to truly comprehend the profound meaning of the Zhenhuang technique.

After a period of time, the entire Huangyu was shaken; the news that the Butian Sect elders and the Sect Master had all been executed had spread far and wide.

About ten days later, Mengchen's cultivation of the Original True Explanation could be said to have achieved minor success; being able to comprehend it so quickly was all thanks to Shi Hao.

It was also on this day that something happened that left both Mengchen and Shi Hao pleasantly surprised.

Because Liu Shen and the Vajra Pestle had both reappeared in the Stone Kingdom Imperial Palace today; they had both returned.
