Chapter 823: Chapter 822: You’re in Big Trouble!

The Sword Array composed of thirty-six supreme Dao Swords exuded overwhelming power, and in an instant, three young disciples of the Flower God Sect were massacred.

The elite soldiers of the Divine Moon Ancient Kingdom, surrounding the area, immediately surged forward to protect Daoist Hua Mu and his companions.

Duanmu Lei from the Flower God Sect was livid with rage.

"Ye Chen, you’ve already killed four of our true disciples from the Flower God Sect. This matter is bound to end poorly. No matter who stands behind you, the wrath of the Flower God Sect will ensure you have no place to be buried!"

Ye Chen replied calmly, "You’re wrong. I’m not just here to kill four; you’re the fifth, and soon there will be a sixth and a seventh!"

The wrath of the Flower God Sect?

What do I, Ye Chen, have to fear!

I’m eager to see if the Flower God Sect can endure my wrath!"

As the words fell.

Ye Chen took another step forward, his foot radiating a burst of golden light; the extreme speed of the Heaven-Ascending Step exploded as he charged at Duanmu Lei.

A single sword strike!

A massive Kunpeng phantom emerged within the sword light.

Duanmu Lei’s giant tree avatar burst apart with a thunderous sound!

"Ah!"

Duanmu Lei screamed miserably, blood oozing from his orifices as he was flung by the violent airwave.

Ye Chen floated and pursued him.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Thirty-six supreme Dao Swords erupted with dazzling sword light, swallowing and submerging Duanmu Lei’s figure.

Ye Chen wielded the Celestial Mark Sword, rushing into the Sword Array, showcasing the exquisite Spirit and Martial Unity Sword Technique. In the span of several breaths.

"Bang!"

Duanmu Lei, bloodied all over, fell to the ground like a dead dog.

Ye Chen’s figure dove down.

"Boom!"

And again, with a stomp, Duanmu Lei’s body was pressed into the ground.

......

Half an hour later.

Ye Chen helped Daoist Hua Mu, Hua Hai, and Lady Hua relieve the restrictions within their bodies.

But intense poison still lingered within the three!

Ye Chen’s brow furrowed tightly.

"Ye Chen, our poison is not immediately lethal. They must be trying to use our lives to coerce Qian Xue into doing something... You don’t need to worry about us, just go and request the experts from the True Martial Hall to head to the Flower God Sect to rescue Qian Xue!"

Lady Hua was full of tears, worried and frightened.

Hua Hai showed a pained expression and said, "Ye Chen... I know the Flower God Sect is very powerful, but for Qian Xue... if you could help..."

Ye Chen immediately interrupted Hua Hai, saying, "Patriarch Hua, there’s nothing about helping or not helping in this matter; I must handle it. That girl Qian Xue is someone I’ve acknowledged.

When I was most helpless, she led me out of the darkness and showed me the light.

Now, Qian Xue needs me.

I will definitely go to the Flower God Sect.

No matter how strong the Flower God Sect is, if they dare to harm Qian Xue, I will turn the Flower God Sect upside down!"

Daoist Hua Mu showed a face full of regret and guilt, saying, "If it wasn’t for me, Qian Xue wouldn’t have had to go to the Flower God Sect. It’s my fault that she got involved. Ye Chen, I’ll go with you to the Flower God Sect. Even if I have to risk this old life, I’ll bring Qian Xue back!"

Ye Chen shook his head.

"It’s fine for me to go to the Flower God Sect alone; you all stay in the Divine Moon Ancient Kingdom and wait for my news. Rest assured, I will keep my word!"

So saying.

Ye Chen focused his mind.

Sword Qi erupted.

His fingertip was cut.

Three drops of blood essence were squeezed from the wound, flying into the mouths of Daoist Hua Mu and the others.

"My blood essence has a good detoxifying effect; let’s control it for now. When I return with Qian Xue, I’ll completely detoxify it!" Ye Chen said, then called the nearby soldiers of the Divine Moon Ancient Kingdom to him.

"Escort Daoist Hua Mu, Patriarch Hua, and Lady Hua to the Moon Capital. There mustn’t be the slightest error on the way!"

After sending off the three.

Ye Chen took the barely alive Duanmu Lei and left.

On the road.

After some fierce interrogation, Duanmu Lei revealed the truth.

After listening, Ye Chen was burning with rage, his icy killing intent as if about to solidify into substance!

The Flower God Sect actually had shameless old codgers trying to force Hua Qianxue into marriage!

Hua Qianxue refused. Fortunately, the Flower God Sect still had a Sect Leader protecting her; otherwise, something would have happened long ago.

But the Flower God Sect’s Sect Leader, whether in means or strength, was no match for the Supreme Elder, that old codger. For the past half-year, Hua Qianxue had found it very difficult to navigate through the Flower God Sect!

Ye Chen could fully imagine how hard these times must have been for proud Hua Qianxue.

Held by Ye Chen, Duanmu Lei struggled fiercely, shouting, "Ye Chen, you’d better let me go; there’s still room for negotiation. Our Duanmu Family is the core of the Flower God Sect, and my ancestor is the Supreme Elder’s confidant..."

"Buzz!"

Sword Qi erupted.

Duanmu Lei’s throat was pierced and shattered.

"Ye Chen, you..."

Duanmu Lei roared with spiritual power.

Ye Chen snorted coldly and unleashed another Sword Qi, piercing through his Sea of Consciousness, severely injuring his soul.

Duanmu Lei didn’t even dare to struggle, fearing Ye Chen would stab him a few more times.

......

In a mountain forest.

Elder Yue of the Flower God Sect and Duanmu Qi, after much effort, finally found that trace of Thunder Qilin power imprint.

But just as Elder Yue was about to collect it.

With a boom.

The Thunder Qilin power imprint shattered.

Elder Yue’s expression changed, saying, "Not good, we’ve been tricked. Someone wants to rescue those three trash from the Hua Family!"

At that moment.

A figure burst forth.

It was an elder with white hair, but with a rosy complexion, his body exuding the aura of the power of the laws.

"You’re the one who set this up?" Elder Yue stared at the person before him, filled with killing intent.

"It’s me!"

Another loud shout rang out, and Ye Chen, carrying the half-dead Duanmu Lei, charged to the white-haired elder’s side.

"Thanks for your hard work, Priest Chu."

The white-haired elder was indeed the former Second Priest of the Divine Moon Ancient Kingdom, who was now the sole Priest, as High Priest Bright Mirror and Third Priest Pan Yuanjiang had both been killed by Ye Chen.

"It’s a small matter." Chu Bai Fa cupped his hands toward Ye Chen.

"I think you must be crazy, daring to do this. Let my sixth uncle go quickly, or you’ll be ground to dust in no time!" Duanmu Qi shouted angrily.

Ye Chen casually tossed the Duanmu Lei he was holding to the ground and stomped on him.

"You say release him, so I release him? Who do you think you are?" Ye Chen glared at Duanmu Qi and shouted coldly.

Along the way, while interrogating Duanmu Lei, he had gathered information.

The idea of using Hua Qianxue’s family as a threat was something this bastard Duanmu Qi offered to the Flower God Sect’s Supreme Elder, that old dog.

Although.

If it hadn’t been for Duanmu Qi and his ilk coming to the Great Zhou Southern Dynasty to capture people, he wouldn’t have known that Hua Qianxue was in such immense trouble.

But...

What needs to be killed must be killed; this Duanmu Qi is no good, and he must be slain!

"Who do you think you are?"

Duanmu Qi laughed in extreme anger and shouted, "I’m afraid you’ll be scared to death when you hear it. Listen well, I am the flower God Sect’s prodigy, direct descendent of the Duanmu Family, Duanmu Qi!

And beside me here is Elder Yue Feng of the Flower God Sect.

The Divine Moon Ancient Kingdom, in front of us, is nothing but a weak and pitiful force, even the Moon God must bow down before us.

You’re using my sixth uncle’s life as a bargaining chip, but you’ve made a huge mistake.

The Flower God Sect is never afraid of any threats, especially from a good-for-nothing like you. You don’t even have the qualifications to negotiate with the Flower God Sect.

I’ll count to three; if you don’t release him, what awaits you is endless pain and torture, and the Divine Moon Ancient Kingdom will also be implicated by you, facing the calamity of national destruction!"

Ye Chen looked at Duanmu Qi as if he was looking at an idiot.

"And you call yourself a prodigy? That’s simply laughable, you don’t even understand what being a prodigy means!

If the Flower God Sect doesn’t want to negotiate, then it’s just as well. I didn’t plan on negotiating with them anyway.

My wrath is also something the Flower God Sect cannot endure!

As for this trash at my feet, he doesn’t qualify as my bargaining chip; I just plan to kill him right in front of you."

The words fell, and Ye Chen swung his sword down.

Duanmu Lei’s head rolled, killed in an instant.

Ye Chen raised his sword, pointing directly at Yue Feng and Duanmu Qi, saying, "Your Flower God Sect is now in big trouble!"
