Myriad Dragon Divine Sovereign

’This Ping Gui has pushed his Life and Death Realm Second Layer cultivation to its absolute limit...’

Wen Qingye also felt the encroaching pressure, but his expression remained largely unchanged.

Then, his hands began to rapidly form seals.

SWISH!

Countless streams of air flowed rapidly between Wen Qingye’s fingers, forming a massive seal. In front of him, a huge iron gate, shimmering with an eerie light, quickly condensed into existence.

”Undying Seal Technique, Fifth Form! Regret Before the Netherworld’s Gate!”

The Seal Technique was domineering and wild, tearing through the surrounding air as it rushed toward Ping Gui with a turbulent, surging force.

BOOM!

The moment Ping Gui’s fist touched the Seal Technique, it felt as if he had struck a mountain. His entire arm went numb, and his body was sent flying backward like a paper kite.

WHOA!

The surroundings immediately erupted into an uproar as everyone stared at Wen Qingye in utter disbelief.

”This kid defeated Ping Gui in a single move?”

”Such incredible strength. At his age, this person can’t be a nobody, right?”

...

Wen Qingye ignored the crowd’s chatter. With a single leap, he was in front of Ping Gui. He reached out, and several Sumeru Mustard Seeds flew directly into his palm.

In the distance, Xiaoo Zuilan was again looking at the Sumeru Mustard Seed in her hand with disappointment. Just as she lifted her head, she saw Wen Qingye standing before the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty’s expert, toying with his Sumeru Mustard Seeds.

Xiaoo Zuilan was slightly startled. ’This kid... he finished things that quickly? That’s a little unexpected.’

At that moment, Wen Qingye’s Heart Spirit had already delved into the several Sumeru Mustard Seeds. Inside were large quantities of Primordial Stones and a few Magical Artifacts.

Suddenly, a peculiar object caught Wen Qingye’s eye.

”I remember now! He’s Wen Qingye! He’s Wen Qingye!”

Suddenly, a sharp cry echoed throughout the entire Evil Land. Like a single stone stirring a thousand waves, countless eyes turned to Wen Qingye.

’I should have worn that mask.’

Wen Qingye took a deep breath and frowned, thinking, ’I was careless this time. I can’t believe I was recognized even out here.’

”Wen Qingye!”

Upon hearing that name in the crowd, a figure in a black robe snapped his eyes open, staring fixedly at Wen Qingye.

This person was the Vice Sect Leader of the Asura Sect, Zhang Chun.

”Vice Sect Leader, should we...?” an Asura Sect expert next to him asked cautiously.

A cold glint appeared in Zhang Chun’s eyes. ”What are you waiting for?” he said. ”Surround him! Don’t let him get away.”

A chill went through Xiaoo Zuilan. ’Wen Qingye? It seems this Little Ghost really knows how to feign weakness. And it looks like his identity is quite the trouble magnet.’

At this point, Wen Qingye also noticed many people around him staring with ill intent. Some had even begun to covertly surround him.

’Asura Sect members?’ He saw through the encirclement of the several people around him at a glance, and his heart sank.

Zhang Chun slowly emerged from the crowd. Staring at Wen Qingye, he said expressionlessly, ”You shun the open road to heaven and barge right through the gateless doors of hell. Wen Qingye, I never thought I’d run into you here in the Desert North. It seems the rumors about your crippled meridians are true after all.”

It was common knowledge that the Heavenly and Earthly Treasure known as the Nascent Vein Flower could appear in the Evil Land. As its name suggested, it was a treasure that could restore and solidify one’s meridians.

Now that Wen Qingye had risked his life to come to the Desert North, everyone immediately put two and two together when they recalled the rumors about his meridians.

When Wen Qingye saw Zhang Chun, an expert at the peak of the Life and Death Realm Fifth Layer, he knew instantly that he was no match for him. Then, his gaze fell upon Xiaoo Zuilan in the distance. An idea struck him, and he yelled at the top of his lungs, ”Sister Xiaoo, I got it! Let’s get out of here!”

Everyone was startled by Wen Qingye’s shout. ’Does he have an accomplice?’ they wondered. They all subconsciously turned to look in the direction of his shout.

Xiaoo Zuilan felt the countless gazes on her and scoffed inwardly. ’Trying to use me...’ But then, her eyes passed through the crowd and locked onto a golden slip of paper in Wen Qingye’s hand. He was looking right at her, smiling. The expression on her beautiful face changed in an instant. She stomped her foot and shot toward Wen Qingye.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

A black shadow appeared beside Wen Qingye with astonishing speed, facing off against Zhang Chun.

Xiaoo Zuilan looked at Zhang Chun with a beaming smile and said, ”My friend, picking on someone so much younger than you... that’s not very proper, is it?”

Zhang Chun looked at Xiaoo Zuilan and snorted coldly. ”Hmph, a mere Martial Artist at the Life and Death Realm Second Layer dares to meddle in my affairs? You’re courting death.”

The smile never left Xiaoo Zuilan’s lips. Her red lips parted slightly as she whispered to Wen Qingye behind her, ”Little brother, give your big sister that thing now. I’ll get you out of here.”

Wen Qingye shook his head. ”I’ll help you hold onto it for now, Sister. Besides, I think there might be more than one of them in this Sumeru Mustard Seed. If you want them later, I’ll give them all to you.”

Hearing Wen Qingye’s words, Xiaoo Zuilan’s brow furrowed. She knew his words were unreliable, but she had no choice but to act. The Asura Sect wasn’t about to give her any more time.

Just then, three Life and Death Realm Elders from the Asura Sect closed in from all sides. The three of them attacked Xiaoo Zuilan in unison, completely cutting off all escape routes for both her and Wen Qingye.

At this moment, however, Zhang Chun’s eyes were fixed on Wen Qingye. To him, it didn’t matter much whether that woman lived or died. But the person before him had to die.

”Thinking you can escape from me today is nothing but a fool’s dream.”

Seeing Wen Qingye take a slight step back, Zhang Chun sneered. His body transformed into a streak of green light, shooting forward with the speed of lightning, instantly snuffing out any plans Wen Qingye might have had.

He stared at Wen Qingye’s figure ahead. With a sudden clench of his fist, a Long Halberd appeared in his hand. His arm trembled, and incomparably sharp gusts of wind swept out, clearing away the surrounding sandstorms and Evil Qi as he aimed straight for Wen Qingye’s vital points.

SHING!

Like an enraged dragon, the One Thought Sword shot out, trailing a world-shaking, crystalline light. With a single slash, it shattered all of the surrounding halberd shadows.

SWISH!

After shattering those Primordial Energy Halberd Shadows with his sword, Wen Qingye stopped retreating. Instead, he turned and charged straight at Zhang Chun.

”Finally lost your nerve, have you? Kid, you’ve got some backbone after all, not letting a woman shield you.” Seeing Wen Qingye charge at him, a cold sneer appeared on Zhang Chun’s lips. ’What a greenhorn. He couldn’t even take that. You think I’m Lim Tian?’
