Chapter 412: Chapter 414: The Counterattack of the Three Great Clans

”Mr. Ye!”

At this moment, Hu Yijian was no longer as arrogant as he was before, looking dejected and servile.

No matter if it was the Mr. Ye in front of him, whom even Master Purple Cloud looked up to, or the elder beside him, they were far beyond his ability to compete with. Perhaps just a single word from them could make him die without a burial place.

However.

The punishment he imagined did not come. Instead, Ye Qingchen calmly said:

”Let me see the sword behind your back!”

”Oh, okay!”

Hu Yijian was taken aback and quickly untied the sword behind him, carefully handing it over. The sword was entirely snow-white, exuding a watery aura, as if forged from icy jade.

The word ’Snow’ was engraved on the sword’s body, merely an Earth Grade Top.

”As expected, this is Qian Qiuxue’s sword!” Ye Qingchen slightly frowned.

Because he had battled with Qian Qiuxue in the Glazed Tower before, he was quite familiar with Qian Qiuxue’s sword. He had sensed something earlier, which is why he stopped Hu Yijian.

Now upon seeing it, it was indeed so.

”Where did you get this sword from?” Ye Qingchen asked.

”Well...”

Hu Yijian was somewhat puzzled, not understanding why Ye Qingchen was so focused on this sword.

But since Ye Qingchen asked, he naturally dared not hide anything:

”Mr. Ye, I found this sword in the Heavenly Return Valley because it had no owner, so I took it as my own sword.”

Heavenly Return Valley?

Ye Qingchen’s eyes slightly dropped.

”For a Sword Cultivator, their sword is their life, never easily leaving their hand. Since this sword appeared in the Heavenly Return Valley, Qian Qiuxue must have encountered something there!”

”Since I have received the favor of the Hundred Leaves Celestial Saint, I should help him find Qian Qiuxue. Alive, I need to see him; dead, I need to see his corpse!”

Ye Qingchen looked at the sword in his hand, thinking quietly.

”Mr. Ye, if you like this sword, I’ll give it to you.” Seeing Ye Qingchen remaining silent for a long time, Hu Yijian said this with his heart almost bleeding.

”I won’t take your sword for free.” Ye Qingchen nodded decisively and directly tossed out a porcelain bottle, ”Here’s a bottle of Earth Grade Top elixir. You have to tell me exactly how you got the sword and its origin!”

”Really?”

Hu Yijian was ecstatic.

He never imagined that Ye Qingchen would be so interested in the sword he held and also give him such a great deal. He quickly recounted all he knew in detail.

It turned out.

This sword was picked up by Hu Yijian when he passed Heavenly Return Valley once while doing a mission. He just happened to pass by, later feeling a chill, and discovered the sword.

The sword was of Earth Grade Top, and since Hu Yijian didn’t have a weapon, he kept it with him.

”What kind of place is the Heavenly Return Valley?”

Ye Qingchen asked.

”It’s one of the ten forbidden places in the Western Region. It’s said that the Spiritual Qi there is quite chaotic. I haven’t been there, so I’m not clear about it either!”

Hu Yijian said sheepishly.

At this time, someone hurriedly stepped forward and interjected: ”Mr. Ye, I know quite a lot about Heavenly Return Valley. Do you want to know it?”

”Speak!” Ye Qingchen’s eyes lit up, ”I’ll give you a bottle of elixir if you tell me everything you know.”

The person was overjoyed upon hearing this, and quickly recounted everything he knew about Heavenly Return Valley. Although much of it was just vague rumors, it also greatly expanded Ye Qingchen’s vision.

After Hu Yijian and that person left happily with the elixir, the crowd couldn’t help but stir.

Although they couldn’t produce treasures comparable to the Eight Divine Soul Swords or the Gui Xu Sword, many had heard some news about Heavenly Return Valley, and they quickly came forward to share what they knew, hoping to exchange for some elixir.

”Heavenly Return Valley was once the site of a battle between Celestial Saint Powerhouses?”

”It’s said that some incredible weapon is sealed there?”

”Heavenly Return Valley is a secret realm of a powerhouse?”

”Hundreds of years ago, several Strongest Celestial Saints fell into the Heavenly Return Valley and never came out again?”

These messages, naturally, had truth mixed with falsehood, a multitude of voices, but Ye Qingchen didn’t mind. He had plenty of elixirs; as long as he could exchange for one genuine message about Heavenly Return Valley, it would be worth it.

However, by integrating the seemingly true and false messages, he could preliminary understand the danger level of Heavenly Return Valley.

”Mr. Ye, I have a deal here. Are you interested?”

Just then, a clear and cold voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone was shocked because, although the voice came from the horizon, it seemed to sound right beside them. Looking up, they saw an elder with a long sword at his waist, walking on the sky.

The aura was incredibly thick and powerful.

”Who is he? This aura, he is a Strongest Celestial Saint!”

”Why is there another Strongest Celestial Saint here?”

”Not good, it’s the Li family’s ancestor, Li Changfeng! This is not a friendly visit!”

”Li family’s ancestor?”

Hearing the startled cries around him, Ye Qingchen arched his brow and replied indifferently, ”Oh, what deal?”

”Your life!” The Li family’s ancestor, Li Changfeng, said in an icy voice, stepping through the void with each slow, seemingly casual step, but covering a vast range with just a few strides, arriving from the horizon to the Ten-mile-long Street.

”You killed my Li family’s patriarch, shamed my Li family’s mountain gate. How can I spare you? If you hand over those treasures willingly, I might spare your life!”

”Just you?” Ye Qingchen smiled, ”Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you as well?”

As those words fell.

Su Muzhe suddenly stepped forward, revealing his Strongest Celestial Saint aura without reservation. A gale swept through, stirring up dust and debris, causing the crowd to stagger and fall.

A hint of fear appeared in everyone’s eyes.

Ye Qingchen had stepped on three major families with just this Strongest Celestial Saint by his side.

However.

Li Changfeng was not scared at all; instead, he laughed heartily, ”Is this your reliance? If I didn’t have full confidence, how would I dare claim to buy your life?”

Everyone was shocked, could Li Changfeng have another hidden card?

Indeed.

As soon as his words ended, a cold snort suddenly resounded like thunder, ”Ye Qingchen, you really have a dogged audacity. Now you’re already at death’s door and yet dare to speak arrogantly? Who gave you your guts!”

Everyone quickly looked over.

And saw, a skeletal elder, hands behind his back, stepping forward. Each footstep, though planted in the void, erupted with a thunder-like booming sound.

This display far surpassed the shock felt from Han Dongtian many times over.

”Han family’s ancestor, Han Jintang!”

The crowd collectively gasped.

This was a legendary figure from the Celestial Sea Continent. Compared to the other two families, the Han family had risen from nothing, relying on the ancestral might of Han Jintang who slaughtered his way through!

Only reliant on Han Jintang’s dominance, did they force many families of the Celestial Sea Continent to bow in submission, making the Han family one of the top families on the continent.

”Another Strongest Celestial Saint?” Ye Qingchen squinted, smiling, ”Seems you’ve spared no effort to deal with me. But since the three major families are usually united, now that both of you are here, surely the third must be coming?”

”Haha, you’re right!”

As Ye Qingchen finished speaking.

In the distance came a soaring cloud mist, and everyone looked to see an elder with a long, white beard enveloped completely in the clouds, striding in the sky like an Immortal.

”Shen family’s ancestor, Shen Tianci?”

”The third Strongest Celestial Saint?”

Seeing the newcomer, countless people were thoroughly shocked into silence.
