"Everyone, are you pretending I don't exist?" Si Qianyu's cold voice rang out.
These people suddenly realized that their great-grandmother was standing in front of them. She was a half-step Celestial Phenomenon expert who could kill them all if she got angry.
However, Zhou Tong was shrewd and calculating. He said, "Mr. Ye, although our six sects are of average strength, we are quite prestigious in the martial arts world."
“It’s not that we can’t listen to you, but you have to show us the strength that will convince us. We admire the girl next to you who is half a step into the Celestial Realm, but she is her, and you are you.”
“That’s right, Senior Brother Zhou is right. If you want us to listen to you, you need to have enough strength.”
"Hmph, a martial artist at the Profound Realm wants to lead our six sects? That's a bit far-fetched."
"You think I'm just at the Profound Realm?" Ye Xingchen was somewhat surprised, then he suddenly realized: "Oh, it's not your fault, it's normal that you're too weak to see it."
"What did you say? Who are you calling too weak?"
"Kid, if you can last three moves against me, you lose."
The group was furious, shouting that they would fight Ye Xingchen to the death.
"Really? Then let's exchange a few moves?" Ye Xingchen smiled slightly, extending three fingers of his right hand and gently tracing them through the air.
A burst of true energy condensed in mid-air, then suddenly dispersed, splitting into five parts, which condensed into sword energy, hovering above everyone's heads.
The chilling sword light emanated a formidable aura in mid-air, sending shivers down one's spine.
Everyone was dumbfounded. Gathering Qi and condensing it into the air, the spiritual light emanating its power—even a master of the Heavenly Realm couldn't do that.
Moreover, the aura emanating from Ye Xingchen was like a towering mountain, immovable and unyielding, far surpassing that of Si Qianyu.
"Heavens...celestial phenomena, the Formless Dust Realm?" Mo Bufan stared in horror at the sword energy hanging above his head. His legs went weak, and he almost choked on his breath.
A master of celestial phenomena in his twenties—has the world gone mad?
Everyone's face turned deathly pale. Faced with such a powerful figure, they had no power to resist and could only stand there, at the mercy of others.
"I wonder how strong I am? Could I possibly kill all of you here?" Ye Xingchen smiled slightly, his tone filled with murderous intent.
“Mr. Ye…is he at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm? We were blind to his true abilities and have offended him.” Zhou Tong’s tone was somewhat bitter.
One or two celestial phenomena were enough to give them a hard time, and now there's a celestial phenomenon mastery level. What's the point of playing this game?
"Now, can we have a proper talk?" Ye Xingchen said calmly.
"Yes...it's okay." Everyone present was pale-faced, and they nodded vigorously.
Just kidding, things have escalated to this point, how could they possibly say a single word against it?
Ye Xingchen withdrew his hand, and the sword energy that had been hanging in mid-air slowly disappeared, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
They were covered in cold sweat. They usually had no chance to come into contact with experts at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. Now that they had, the power and pressure they felt were something they couldn't possibly withstand.
"Mr. Ye, please feel free to ask what you need." Mo Bufan said with a wry smile.
He had been in the Heavenly Realm for many years but had not been able to break through. Now he was fifty years old, and it seemed that his life was destined to end.
But the young man in front of him, who was more than twenty years younger than him, had already reached the Great Perfection of Celestial Phenomena, which made him feel quite disheartened.
"Using the influence of the Six Gates, I will issue a challenge. Two days later, I will lead men to Qingxianju to kill Ding Yulong," Ye Xingchen said calmly.
"Qingxianju, Ding Yulong?" Zhou Tong was taken aback. "That's a renowned martial arts mecca in the martial world! Why, Mr. Ye...?"
"Everyone here should know about the tragedy that happened in Yanjing twenty years ago, right?" Ye Xingchen said calmly. "Everyone knows that the tragedy was committed by Ding Yulong."
"But no one dares to mention it, and no one dares to deal with the Su family massacre. Ding Yulong has been at large for twenty years. Now it's time to settle this blood debt with him."
There was a moment of silence among those present. After a while, Mo Bufan cautiously asked, "May I ask, Mr. Ye, what is your relationship with the Su family, which was wiped out twenty years ago?"
“It has nothing to do with me. The Su family has an orphan, Su Ruochu, and I’m here to seek justice for her,” Ye Xingchen said.
“But Ding Yulong… he was already a Celestial Phenomenon twenty years ago, and he cultivates six Sword Lotuses at Qingxian Residence. If all the Sword Lotuses bloom, his strength will probably be even greater.” Mo Bufan still cautiously asked, “Mr. Ye, are you sure?”
"Otherwise, why would I come to you?" Ye Xingchen smiled calmly, stood up and said, "I want to erase Qingxianju and at the same time make its reputation collapse and be cursed by everyone."
The group looked at each other, thinking that Ye Xingchen must have gone mad.
After a long while, Mo Bufan smiled wryly and said, "Mr. Ye, you are a powerful expert in the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, so it is not surprising that you can say such a thing. But Ding Yulong is no ordinary person either."
"He became famous twenty years ago. Although his cultivation level has not improved over the years, his Three-Part Return to Origin Sword technique is already highly refined. In addition, he has the blessing of six Qi Luck Sword Lotuses. His true strength is much stronger than that of the Celestial Phenomenon."
“Yes, Mr. Ye, I think it’s better to consider this matter more carefully.” Zhou Tong pondered for a moment and said, “Besides… the Su family’s matter happened so long ago, why do you want to pursue it now, sir?”
"Just because something has passed doesn't mean it doesn't exist," Ye Xingchen said calmly. "A blood debt must be repaid with blood."
"All you need to do is make a big show of it and get all sorts of people from the martial arts world to gather at Qingxian Residence. You don't need to worry about anything else."
The members of the six sects fell silent again. They were still hesitant. After all, it was Qingxianju, known as a holy land of martial arts. It was a renowned Celestial Phenomenon master. Although Ye Xingchen was also a Celestial Phenomenon master, he was still young, and there was still a gap between them.
"Everyone, do you not trust me?" Ye Xingchen smiled slightly, stood up, and placed his hands on the table, putting pressure on everyone: "If you don't trust me, then I'll go find someone else."
“There are many people in the martial arts world who are stronger and more influential than the Six Sects, but you can forget about getting this Qi Gathering Pill.”
Several pairs of eyes turned to the Qi Gathering Pill again, and five greedy eyes flashed by. After all, this was something that could change one's destiny, and it would be a real pity to give it up like this.
“Mr. Ye, the Qi Gathering Pill… there’s only one available.” Zhou Tong hesitated for a moment before saying, “This is an extremely difficult decision for us.”
"The reason why Qi Gathering Pills are so precious is because the raw materials are scarce," Ye Xingchen said calmly. "Various rare and precious treasures are hard to come by, but recently I met a black market boss. With him, as long as you can afford the right price, he can get you all kinds of rare rare and precious treasures."
