Boom!

A powerful aura suddenly erupted, causing the three Vermilion Bird members to feel stifled, as if even breathing had become difficult.

Even Ge Min felt a sudden tremor in his heart; Wan Potian’s realm was beyond what they could comprehend.

"But the majesty of the Divine Guard cannot be provoked!" Wan Potian said coldly, his voice abruptly rising.

The Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise felt their hearts leap; they understood that the leader was angry, but they dared not to speak words of consolation.

"That Ye Qingfeng, I will personally take him out!" Wan Potian’s eyes were icy.

Four people’s hearts skipped a beat; with Wan Potian personally taking action, regardless of Ye Qingfeng’s tactics, death was inevitable!

Wan Potian was incredibly powerful now!

The Ancient Martial World had opened, and elders from the Ancient Martial World personally brought cultivation treasures to help Wan Potian break through.

Now his cultivation was undoubtedly among the super strong even within the Ancient Martial World.

"Haha, Brother Wang, you’ve finally broken through, congratulations!"

Just then, a clear voice echoed from the far horizon, and the four of them saw a long rainbow streaking across the sky, flying towards them.

"Flying in the Sky, another War Emperor strong person!"

The four of them felt a surge of admiration; War Emperor strong people were truly powerful and envied.

Amidst the four’s emotional turmoil, the rainbow descended—a venerable elder, with white hair yet youthful appearance, walked over with a smile.

"Brother Gu, thanks to your elixirs and Spirit Stones that I could break through so easily." Wan Potian slightly cupped his hands, speaking gently as he looked at the elder.

"It’s thanks to you that I have this power to protect our nation; you are all benefactors of Huaxia!"

The Ancient laughed heartily, paying no mind to Wan Potian’s words; at their realm, nation matters were of little concern.

Especially for those from the Ancient Martial World, cultivation was far more important.

"It’s a pity, you missed a major event by three days." The Ancient shook his head slightly.

"You mean Panwu Land? I never planned to participate. The herbs within Panwu Land should be claimed by the strong from the Ancient Martial World. Only the unaware would venture into Panwu Land to compete with them,"

Wan Potian smiled faintly, indifferent.

"However, a major event occurred in Panwu Land. If you knew, you’d be greatly interested." The Ancient shook his head, "No one from the Ancient Martial World’s sects claimed even a single herb from Panwu Land."

"Hmm?"

"Reportedly, a youth stole them all, erasing the entire Medicine Field. Henceforth, there’s no way to seek herbs from Panwu Land. Moreover, Tong Tianqi from the Soul Devouring Hall was gravely injured by that youth."

The Ancient continued, shaking his head with regret, "Unfortunately, I had no chance to witness the youth’s charisma or appearance. In this world, such a wondrous youth exists."

What?

The Four Guardians trembled slightly, even Wan Potian’s pupils widened, evidently surprised.

"By the way, do you know who the youth is?" The Ancient couldn’t help but ask upon seeing their reactions.

"Ye Qingfeng! It must be Ye Qingfeng!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the Four Guardians exclaimed simultaneously.

"Ye Qingfeng?" The Ancient was startled, surprised by the Four Guardians’ excitement.

A nameless mountain in the northern wilderness, virtually untouched by humans aside from beasts.

At this moment, within a cave in the mountain, a lean figure was seated cross-legged. Surrounding him were extremely fast sectors of purple transparent stones, resembling crystals.

The youth’s face was somewhat pale; upon close inspection, one would see energy threads from the purple stones surging, flowing into the youth.

As the energy was absorbed, the youth’s previously paper-pale face gradually regained a hint of rosiness.

The youth was none other than Ye Qingfeng.

Suffering backlash and enduring injuries, he flew to this place, then took healing elixirs, using Spirit Stones for recovery.

Three days passed, thanks to elixirs and Spirit Stones, Ye Qingfeng’s wounds mostly healed.

An hour passed again.

Ye Qingfeng abruptly opened his eyes. Within them, a fiery red flame flickered briefly, releasing a cold aura that blossomed in the cave.

"Tong Tianqi, Soul Devouring Hall!"

Ye Qingfeng muttered these names, destined to perish by his hands.

Contrasting with the cave’s chill, the outside world was incredibly shaken, albeit limited to the topmost secular figures and elite warriors, along with some Ancient Martial World experts.

Tong Tianqi was injured!

This news rapidly spread among Ancient Martial World geniuses and surprised everyone pondering who could have hurt Tong Tianqi.

There were even rumors claiming the youth who forcefully entered Panwu Land inflicted the injury.

It seemed too bizarre.

"Perhaps the youth is backed by an organization or a strong person; he’s merely a puppet. Tong Tianqi was led to a place, surrounded by strong people, and severely injured."

Someone analyzed.

"It’s possible his master hid and ambushed Tong Tianqi at a critical moment!"

Instantly, someone agreed.

Everyone from the Ancient Martial World secretly analyzed; they couldn’t believe the youth alone could harm Tong Tianqi, preferring to believe he had backing.

In this way, it clarified his readiness for various scenarios, explaining his forced entry to Panwu Land and how he absconded with the Medicine Field.

Sadly, Tong Tianqi won’t clarify, leaving the events of that time unknown.

Meanwhile, Tong Tianqi of the Soul Devouring Hall dispatched a group led by Ling Ling, beginning the search for the youth deep in the mountains.

Curiosity filled everyone; if the youth had backing capable of defeating Tong Tianqi, why did he dare to search as a disciple?

"I’ve figured it out; the youth’s master injured Tong Tianqi but was wounded too, thus couldn’t flee far, prompting Tong Tianqi to search."

Finally, someone voiced understanding, analyzing.

Everyone realized it instinctively, unwilling to part, joining Ling Ling in pursuing the search beyond Panwu Land into the mountains.
