When the True Martial Sect, along with the Eight Major Sects, were aggressively preparing for revenge.

Ye Qingchen was in Taotian Palace tidying up the aftermath.

After all.

At a time when people’s hearts are unsettled, it is necessary for him to oversee the situation.

As for the potential revenge from the Eight Major Sects and the True Martial Sect, he was completely unaware. But even if he knew, so what? He had already trampled the Spirit Coffin Sect, which intimidated the Tongxuan Continent, so why should he fear a mere True Martial Sect?

Even if they come, so what?

Speaking of which.

At this moment, sitting in Taotian Palace, he was like a Stabilizing Needle. The originally worried disciples of Taotian Palace surprisingly calmed down, quietly cultivating without being disturbed by the outside world.

However.

In the eyes of outsiders, this was merely a facade of strength.

After all.

Among the people of Celestial Peak Country, the Eight Major Sects coming out in force was already a tremendous power. Coupled with a True Martial Sect like a dragon crossing the river, no matter how capable you are, you will have to die here!

“Ye Qingchen, I’m begging you, please leave Celestial Peak Country quickly!”

At this moment.

An Mengxiang was earnestly advising.

Upon learning the news that the Eight Major Sects were preparing to besiege Taotian Palace, she couldn’t be at ease. She brought a few close friends and sneaked into Taotian Palace, hoping to persuade Ye Qingchen to leave quickly.

But Ye Qingchen remained unmoved.

“Do you know that the Eight Major Sects have now made up their minds that they won’t stop until you’re dead? It’s said that the True Martial Sect has also mobilized… If you don’t leave now, it might really be too late!”

An Mengxiang was so anxious that she stamped her feet.

“Don’t worry, I don’t fear them!” Ye Qingchen poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, “If they don’t come, fine. But if they do, I will make sure they never return!”

“Ha! Young Master Ye, you’re really talking big!” One of An Mengxiang’s friends couldn’t help but mock, seeing An Mengxiang’s sincere persuasion being met with Ye Qingchen’s indifference, “Do you really think you’re invincible? That you can single-handedly withstand the Eight Major Sects and the True Martial Sect?”

As she spoke, she shook her head, as if scrutinizing Ye Qingchen.

Seeing Ye Qingchen still sitting motionless, she became more and more furious.

“I really don’t know what’s so good about you!”

“You’re so arrogant and conceited to the extreme, you simply don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth!”

“It’s indeed commendable to not yield before tyranny, but if you know there’s a massive disparity yet refuse to bow, that’s just foolishness!”

“Do you think that with the current Taotian Palace, you can withstand the Eight Major Sects and the True Martial Sect?”

“You’re just a mantis trying to stop a cart, a mere ant!”

Finally, at this moment.

Ye Qingchen slowly raised his head.

Glancing at the indignant girls, and then at the worried An Mengxiang, Ye Qingchen said flatly, “Even if the Eight Major Sects all come, or if the True Martial Sect comes to kill, so what? As long as I am sitting in Taotian Palace, even if they bring a thousand, ten thousand men, they cannot defeat me!”

As soon as these words were spoken.

The girls looked at him as if he were an idiot.

“Fine! I’ll wait and see!”

“I really want to see how you resist the mighty forces of the Eight Major Sects and the True Martial Sect!”

Fuming with anger, the girls left Taotian Palace.

Only An Mengxiang seemed somewhat reluctant.

She looked back repeatedly as she walked away.

“An Mengxiang, just forget about this guy!” said a slightly older woman, “This guy is arrogant and conceited, definitely not a suitable partner. You came to advise him with good intentions, but he’s simply turning a deaf ear, like a stone in a latrine, both smelly and hard!”

“Indeed, I want to see what kind of capability Ye Qingchen has to shake the universe, that he dares to disregard the True Martial Sect and the Eight Major Sects!”

The others nodded repeatedly.

An Mengxiang stood there for a while, and finally let out a long sigh.

She had done all she could.

Since Ye Qingchen wouldn’t listen, there was nothing she could do.

And so.

Under the astonished gazes of everyone in Celestial Peak Country, Ye Qingchen held his ground at Taotian Palace.

They originally thought that after learning the news, Ye Qingchen would immediately flee far away. But they didn’t expect Ye Qingchen would stay, appearing as if wanting to single-handedly confront the Eight Major Sects and the True Martial Sect.

“This Ye Qingchen is just courting death!”

“Indeed, if he left now, he could at least save his life. But he’s so arrogant, intending to face the Eight Major Sects head-on!”

“Haha, let’s see how this brat meets his end!”

For a moment.

All eyes were fixed on Taotian Palace.

Sure enough.

The Eight Major Sects didn’t disappoint. After stabilizing their sects, they almost immediately dispatched disciples to completely surround Taotian Palace.

No one was allowed to leave!

This posture of surrounding without attacking gave an impression of a cat playing with a mouse.

“It’s killing both body and spirit!”

Informed people shook their heads secretly.

The Eight Major Sects didn’t crush Taotian Palace with lightning speed.

They merely wanted to demonstrate their strength.

Wanted to tell the world what happens to those who insult and offend them.

Everyone was waiting for the day the Eight Major Sects would act.

Finally.

On the seventh day.

The disciples from the Eight Major Sects gathered under Taotian Palace began to make some movements.

Just see.

At the foot of the mountain, several people stepped out from the respective areas belonging to the Eight Major Sects. As soon as these people appeared, they approached Taotian Palace with an impressive aura, similar to when Mu Shanhe led the demons in an assault.

At this moment, above Taotian Palace.

Ye Qingchen was brewing a pot of fragrant tea in front of the main hall, the aroma spreading over ten miles. Numerous Taotian Palace disciples sat in the square, motionless, with an expression of calmness, as if nothing could shake them.

“Unfazed even if Mount Tai collapses before him!”

In the void above.

Many silently watched this scene.

After all.

The outcome of this conflict could likely determine the future of Celestial Peak Country, or even the entire Cyan Continent.

Originally.

In their view, faced with the siege of the Eight Major Sects, Taotian Palace would inevitably fall into chaos.

But now, the stance of Taotian Palace took them by surprise.

“In a few more years, such a sect would definitely become influential! But it’s a pity…”

An old man slowly shook his head.

Everyone understood what was so regrettable.

Because.

It’s very possible that from today, Taotian Palace will be completely erased.

However.

More people were looking at Ye Qingchen with confusion, seemingly puzzled.

The one truly fearless of the eight major sects is naturally this young man.

But.

What kind of confidence allows Ye Qingchen to face the eight major sects without any fear?

“They’re coming!”

At this moment.

Someone suddenly spoke.

They saw that the people of the eight major sects had already set foot on Taotian Palace.

The final outcome would soon be revealed.

As everyone watched, eight vast streams of people swept in like waves, grandly stepping onto Taotian Peak. The eight groups then merged into one, directly heading toward Ye Qingchen.

Although these few were only temporarily chosen leaders of the eight major sects, their strength was unquestionable. They moved with the majesty of a dragon and the grace of a tiger, eyeing Ye Qingchen as if he were fish on a chopping block.

“Ye Qingchen, do you know your crime!”

Boom!

At this moment.

An elderly man with white hair and beard stepped forward, shouting angrily. His gaze was like lightning, darting through the air, making people dare not meet his eyes.

“Oh, what crime have I committed?” Ye Qingchen raised his head and asked.

“You killed the higher-ups of the Celestial Essence Sword Sect, a crime beyond forgiveness! Today, on behalf of the Celestial Essence Sword Sect, I’ve come to take your life, to use your head as a tribute to our fallen members!”

The old man said angrily.

No sooner had he spoken than a burly middle-aged man said in a deep voice:

“And us, the Xingluo Sect! Ye Qingchen, your crimes are heinous, and killing you is the only way to quell the people’s anger. Today, not only will you die, but I will also cleanse Taotian Palace with blood, to avenge my sect members!”

In an instant.

The crowd shouted angrily.

However.

In everyone’s opinion, Ye Qingchen, facing such a situation, would surely make every attempt to deny the charges, refusing to admit anything.

But who would have thought that he would raise an eyebrow and, with a faint smile, say:

“Indeed, I killed those from the eight major sects, so what? Want to kill me, want to flatten Taotian Palace, you are not qualified yet!”

Boom!

As these words were spoken.

The people present were almost popping their eyes out.

Before this.

They had considered all sorts of possibilities.

They thought that Ye Qingchen, facing the onslaught of the eight major sects, would admit having no way out and beg for mercy on his knees.

They also thought he might refuse to admit anything, making every attempt to deny and evade punishment.

However.

They never expected that Ye Qingchen would not only be unafraid but also present such an attitude.

Just as the eight major sects were about to erupt with anger.

A harmonious voice suddenly came from outside:

“Sect Leader of the True Martial Sect, Ning Tianbei, has arrived!”

“The True Martial Sect is here?”

The crowd was stunned.

They watched as the crowd parted like waves, the newcomers were of extraordinary demeanour, far surpassing the eight major sects. The leading figure exuded a powerful aura, causing the entire Taotian Palace to fall silent upon his arrival.

The Sect Leader of the True Martial Sect!

Ning Tianbei!

At this moment.

Ning Tianbei appeared and proceeded directly toward Ye Qingchen.

Seeing this, the people from the eight major sects all smirked coldly.

“This brat was so arrogant just now, indifferent even in the face of our eight major sects. Now I want to see if he can still be tough when facing the True Martial Sect!”

Ning Tianbei squinted, speaking coldly, “Ye Qingchen, I have arrived!”

“Oh?” Ye Qingchen raised an eyebrow, saying nonchalantly, “Are you here to apologize?”

These words shocked everyone.

“What, did I hear wrong? He actually asked Ning Tianbei to apologize?” The people of the eight major sects almost had their eyes pop out, hardly believing their ears.

A gleam of cold light flashed in the squinting eyes of Ning Tianbei.

“Looking at you, it seems that’s not the case!” Ye Qingchen shook his head and said, “I originally gave you a chance to come and apologize, but now it seems you don’t appreciate it! In that case, I can only eradicate your True Martial Sect!”

Upon hearing these words,

Even Ning Tianbei was utterly enraged.

As the dignified Sect Leader, not only was he disrespected by a mere kid, but the other also threatened to eradicate the True Martial Sect in public. It was nothing short of a public slap to the face!

How could he tolerate such fury?

“Fine!”

Ning Tianbei glared proudly, taking a sudden step forward, and nodded fiercely:

“My True Martial Sect has seventy-two thousand members, each one a prodigious talent!”

“My True Martial Sect has nearly ten thousand stewards, each a strong practitioner of the Spiritual Sea Realm!”

“My True Martial Sect has over two thousand Profound Pill Realm experts! Among them, there are seven experts of the Profound Core Ninth Heaven! And I am a Half-Step Celestial Saint!”

“What abilities do you have that make you dare to flatten my True Martial Sect?”

As these words were spoken.

The surroundings were in an uproar, and everyone was dumbstruck.

They only knew that the True Martial Sect was strong, but they hadn’t anticipated it was this formidable!

Thinking of this.

Everyone hastily turned towards Ye Qingchen.

They wanted to see what this kid had to say now. Yet, they saw Ye Qingchen sitting there, eyes downcast, motionless, seemingly lost in thought. Seeing him in this manner, they all shook their heads secretly.

Clearly.

Ye Qingchen, upon realizing the disparity between them, must have completely resigned himself to his fate.

However.

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded:

“Is that all the strength you have? Who gave you the courage to be so insolent in front of Young Master Ye!”

The crowd was startled upon hearing this.

Turning their heads to look.

They saw a silver-haired elder standing there, full of anger.
