Invincible Soul Emperor

This mark was a Secret Technique exclusive to the lineage of the Huanyue Sect Leader. Its purpose was to attach to a junior family member. Ordinarily, it would never activate. Only when the junior faced a life-threatening crisis would the events happening around them be transmitted into the caster’s sea of consciousness. If the distance was short, the caster could immediately mount a rescue. Even if the rescue failed, they could still discover who was responsible for the junior’s death and then mobilize the full strength of the sect to avenge them.

Therefore, as Huan Xinghe’s life hung by a thread, everything that happened was transmitted into Huan Yuehua’s sea of consciousness.

Initially, Huan Yuehua only saw Huan Xinghe fighting the Mudhead Monsters. Having entered the Chaotic Labyrinth before, he naturally knew how formidable the creatures were and silently cursed his son’s carelessness in provoking such terrifying beings.

However, when Chen Qingye’s image appeared in his sea of consciousness, Huan Yuehua instantly understood everything. No wonder his normally cautious son had fallen into an encirclement of Mudhead Monsters—it was all Chen Qingye’s doing.

But after the Chaotic Labyrinth opened, the energy vortex had vanished quickly. Furthermore, only those below the Martial King Realm could enter. Defying this condition would trigger the deadly power of the labyrinth’s great Formation. Therefore, even though Huan Yuehua wanted to save his son, he was powerless to do so. He could only watch helplessly as Huan Xinghe was beaten to death by the Mudhead Monsters.

As the green light dissipated, Huan Yuehua could no longer see what transpired. But in his heart, he had already placed all the blame on Chen Qingye.

Seeing that Huan Xinghe’s body had been completely obliterated, Huan Yuehua felt the world spin. He had only this one son, a peerless genius with a supreme eight-star Martial Soul. Now that his life and path had been extinguished, Huan Yuehua simply couldn’t accept it.

”Chen Qingye, I will make you pay in blood!” Huan Yuehua said through gritted teeth.

Lin Lanxin noticed her husband’s strange state and asked with a frown, ”Husband, what happened?”

Huan Yuehua shook his head, deciding not to tell Lin Lanxin what had transpired. After all, she had always cherished Huan Xinghe as the apple of her eye; she would never be able to accept his sudden, violent death. Although Huan Yuehua knew he couldn’t hide the truth forever, he resolved to wait for the right moment. For instance, when Chen Qingye emerged, he would kill the murderer with his own hands. He thought that perhaps seeing justice done could alleviate some of his wife’s sorrow.

Meanwhile, inside the Chaotic Labyrinth, Ye Qingchen watched the Mudhead Monsters retreat and couldn’t help but ask Qin Yue, ”Yue’er, what’s the deal with these Mudhead Monsters? Why are they so obedient to you?”

Qin Yue replied with a smile, ”These Mudhead Monsters were my servants in a previous life, so of course they obey me. It’s just that I haven’t returned in many years, and they’ve gradually lost their spiritual intelligence. Huan Xinghe’s Martial Soul happened to be able to mimic a trace of my aura, which is why the Mudhead Monsters were tricked into harming you.”

Ye Qingchen nodded, understanding now. He recalled that Qin Yue had once said nothing that happened in the Chaotic Labyrinth could escape her notice. It was clear then that she must have known he and Liang Fei were in danger and had rushed back to save them.

Although Liang Fei had been struck speechless by Qin Yue’s words, his thick-skinned temperament meant he didn’t dwell on it. He spoke to Qin Yue again, ”Miss Qin, where should we go next? This whole Chaotic Labyrinth is yours, so you must know where the treasures are, right?”

Looking at Liang Fei’s eager expression, Ye Qingchen couldn’t help but shake his head. ”Since you know the Chaotic Labyrinth belongs to Qin Yue, why are you still thinking about her treasures?”

Liang Fei pursed his lips and muttered, ”I was just spitballing! You didn’t have to take it so seriously.”

Qin Yue watched the two of them bicker and said with a smile, ”Qingchen is right. The things in the Chaotic Labyrinth are still useful to me. Our cultivation levels are all about the same right now. To put it bluntly, anything useless to me is also useless to you. However, I can take you to a good place.”

Qin Yue gave Ye Qingchen a mysterious look, and he smiled. ”In that case, let’s go.”

Qin Yue nodded and led the way, with Ye Qingchen and Liang Fei following closely behind.

Liang Fei, still not giving up, said, ”Miss Qin, there are plenty of Martial Artists entering the Chaotic Labyrinth right now. Even if I don’t hunt for treasure, they certainly will. Aren’t you afraid someone else will take all the good stuff? If that’s the case, it would be better for me to have it than some stranger.”

Qin Yue replied, ”I have now accepted the memories of my past life, and all the Formations inside the Chaotic Labyrinth have been activated. No one can take the things that are useful to me. As for the rest, it will all depend on their own fortunes.”

With Qin Yue leading, even notoriously treacherous areas proved to be thrilling but not truly dangerous. Although Liang Fei saw quite a few treasures along the way, he gave up on trying to get them after sensing the immense power of the Guardian Beasts protecting them.

I thought I’d get some great benefits from following them, but now I have nothing. And that Immortal Array Canon... Qin Yue must have realized I have no talent for Formations, which is why she so readily agreed to let me watch. In the end, it was all for Ye Qingchen’s benefit.

As the trio ventured deeper, they reached the core of the Chaotic Labyrinth. Before them appeared a vast and turbulent ocean.

Ye Qingchen couldn’t imagine what kind of heaven-defying power could refine such a massive world into an artifact and contain it within the Chaotic Labyrinth.

He knew that since entering the Chaotic Labyrinth, its land area alone was already comparable to the entire Northern Desolate Country. The ocean before them, however, was clearly many times larger than the land.

Disregarding the other abilities of the Chaotic Labyrinth as an artifact, its sheer capacity alone was beyond Ye Qingchen’s comprehension.

When Qin Yue reached the shore, a floating bridge made of moonlight spontaneously appeared on the water’s surface. She stepped onto it and waved at Ye Qingchen, who jumped to her side without hesitation.

Liang Fei asked tentatively, ”Miss Qin, are you sure this bridge can handle my weight?”

Qin Yue said casually, ”If you don’t want to come, you can stay here and wait for us.”

Liang Fei gritted his teeth, stepped onto the bridge, and said, ”I’m willing, I’m willing!”
