Myriad Dragon Divine Sovereign

That wisp of red essence shot directly into Wen Qingye’s Qi Sea. In an instant, it was like a fish returning to water.

BOOM!

In a flash, his entire Qi Sea began to boil.

The minuscule wisp of red essence entered Wen Qingye’s body like a single spark, instantly igniting a raging inferno.

Berserk Primordial Qi began to surge wildly. The wisp of red essence churned within Wen Qingye’s Qi Sea, as if trying to merge itself with his Primordial Qi.

And as the Primordial Qi rampaged, his two Qi Seas also grew restless.

RUMBLE!

The two Qi Seas continued to move toward the center, causing the inside of his body to shake violently.

At that moment, the final wisp of the Azure Dragon’s essence was also swimming frantically above the two Qi Seas, slowly converging with all the Primordial Qi above them.

They then fused, becoming one. The pale golden Primordial Qi became even more ancient and domineering.

”ROAR!”

This Primordial Qi, which already carried a faint Dragon’s Might, grew even more potent after fusing with the Azure Dragon’s essence. As the Primordial Qi spread out, the faint roar of an Azure Dragon could be heard within it.

Wen Qingye felt the changes within his body and knew his breakthrough was imminent. He immediately took out his last two Profound Pearls, which were low on Primordial Qi.

Profound Pearls contained the very source of Primordial Qi, and absorbing it was much faster than absorbing it from Primordial Stones.

Streams of Primordial Qi Essence flowed out of the two Profound Pearls and into Wen Qingye’s body, replenishing the energy consumed by the fusion of his two Qi Seas.

His Qi Seas continued their tight fusion, and Wen Qingye’s Primordial Qi surged wildly.

An unknown amount of time passed. It felt like an instant, yet also like a day and a night.

.......

Ji Hai was seated cross-legged, cultivating in the Law Enforcement Rear Hall, when he suddenly heard a long cry. His eyes snapped open in confusion, and he immediately rushed outside.

Atop the Main Peak, Yum Tianyang, Tangg Guanzhong, Situ Yun, and Qii Yue had all gathered, along with Elders and Stewards from the various other peaks.

Hua Lie was busy with his grand birthday celebration and could not come, while Chuu Qi was unable to make it because he was refining a cauldron of pills for Hua Lie.

A few figures were seen slowly walking up the mountain path of the Main Peak. The ones in the lead were none other than Sect Leader Xia Qianhe of the Three Realms Sect and Gao Changtian of the Flowing Cloud Sect. Both men were carrying a box about a foot and a half long and a foot wide.

Xia Qianhe walked before the crowd and shouted guiltily, ”I was blind and failed to see the truth! I listened to a villain’s slander and wrongly accused a noble disciple of the Upper Sect! I have come today to offer my humblest apologies. This is the head of the treacherous villain. I present it now to show my profound shame!”

Everyone around was stunned. ’Wrongly accused? What’s going on? Did Wen Qingye not kill the disciples from their sects? What in the world is happening?’

Gao Changtian also stepped forward and said with a bitter smile, ”Wen Qingye saved my beloved disciple’s life, yet not only did I, Gao Changtian, show no gratitude, I even acted aggressively toward the Upper Sect. I am truly too ashamed to face any of you.”

After speaking, the two men opened their boxes simultaneously. Inside were two human heads, their eyes wide with fury. They were the heads of Liu Mingliang and Wu Shuangying.

Ji Hai slowly walked over at this moment. Looking at the two heads, he said in a low voice, ”These two must be spies from the Taiyi Pavilion.”

Gao Changtian gave Ji Hai a surprised look, then nodded and said, ”That’s right. These two are indeed...”

Gao Changtian immediately felt he had misspoken and shut his mouth. The matter could not be concluded so easily. The implications were complex and far-reaching; even he had to tread carefully.

Yum Tianyang stepped forward and asked with a frown, ”What do you mean, you wrongly accused Wen Qingye?”

”Well...” Gao Changtian gave a dry laugh, unsure of how to explain.

”Since it’s difficult for you to speak, Brother Gao, allow me,” Xia Qianhe said, stepping forward. He looked at the members of the Celestial Profound Sect and declared solemnly, ”That day, our four sects agreed to send disciples to Canglan Country, where our territories meet, to jointly slay the Flaming Three-Headed Dog and retrieve the True Essence Fruit. This was originally meant to be an opportunity for our disciples to interact and gain experience.”

Xia Qianhe paused for a moment before continuing, ”No one expected that the people from the Celestial Thunder Hall would be ambushed and killed by the Heaven-Burying Sect on their way. Only one traitor escaped. The other three sects didn’t suspect anything and proceeded to besiege the Flaming Three-Headed Dog. Unexpectedly, members of the Heaven-Burying Sect suddenly appeared. With the traitor from the Celestial Thunder Hall working from the inside, they managed to poison the disciples of our two sects with the Heaven-Burying Sect’s Corpse Condensing Powder, leaving them on the brink of death.”

Everyone nodded. They were all very familiar with this part of the story.

At this, Gao Changtian gestured to Xia Qianhe to stop, stepped forward himself, and continued in a bitter voice, ”The noble disciple of the Upper Sect struck all the disciples from our two sects in their Qi Sea Acupoints with a single sword strike. It looked as if he had killed them, but that was not the case. The matter is far from that simple. That single strike was crucial—it was what saved the disciples of our two sects! It saved all five of them!”

BOOM!

The moment Gao Changtian finished speaking, the entire Main Peak was like a volcano that had been dormant for years. After a moment of silence, it erupted. The clamor was like waves crashing, one after another.

”So, it seems Wen Qingye was wrongly accused.”

”Wen Qingye pierced their Qi Sea Acupoints and saved the lives of five people from the Flowing Cloud Sect and the Three Realms Sect? Is that true? It sounds unbelievable.”

”Wasn’t he the murderer who killed five people from the two sects? How did he suddenly become their benefactor?”

”Incredible, just incredible! Saving someone’s life by piercing their Qi Sea Acupoint? That’s the first I’ve ever heard of such a thing!”

”Wait, if that’s true, doesn’t it mean Wen Qingye suffered in the Ancestral Hall for nothing?”

”In any case, this means our good relations with the Three Realms Sect and the Flowing Cloud Sect are secure. In fact, they might even become stronger from this.”

Everyone in the surrounding crowd, whether disciple or Elder, began to discuss the matter in low voices.

Standing not far away, Yann Chuxue heard what everyone was saying. A smile touched her pale face, and she let out a soft breath, as if a great weight had been lifted from her heart.

Chu Bufan stared at the distant Ancestral Hall, his brows furrowed. ’Is this the truth?’ he wondered.

Yum Baobao clapped her hands happily and laughed. ”Hahaha, I knew it! How could Brother Wen kill someone? He’s so amazing, a peerless genius of his generation! Why would he kill people over a few True Essence Fruits?”

Mo Qing nodded and said, ”I also felt that Brother Wen didn’t kill anyone.”

Yum Baobao’s excited smile vanished. She glared at Mo Qing with her big eyes and said, ”Mo Qing, he’s *my* Brother Wen! You’re not allowed to call him that!”

”I’ll call him that if I want to. What are you going to do about it?” Mo Qing retorted with a cold snort.

”You!” Yum Baobao stared at Mo Qing, speechless. After a moment, she snorted, ”Even if you call him Brother Wen, he has to be willing to answer to it!”
