Chapter 886: Chapter 885: [What Happened to Dongfang Meng?]

”I don’t know, but whoever destroyed the Ancient Tomb Sect and killed Dongfang Meng must be very powerful.”

”What a pity, the Ancient Tomb Sect is thus erased from the Ancient Martial World. Dongfang Meng was one of the top beauties of the Ancient Martial World, and now she perishes, it’s truly regrettable, regrettable!”

Ye Tianchen was taken aback, his heart thumping. Is it possible that his dream really foresaw this? Just after returning to the Ancient Martial World of Song Mountain, he heard such bad news: the Ancient Tomb Sect destroyed, Dongfang Meng killed? This was something Ye Tianchen found hard to accept.

Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, Ye Tianchen was already standing before the two martial artists, startling them both to quickly retreat, preparing to attack, but Ye Tianchen hurriedly said, ”My two friends, I am not an evil man, I merely overheard you discussing the matters of the Ancient Tomb Sect and wish to know more, could you please enlighten me?”

The two martial artists exchanged glances, one of them dismissively retorted, ”Enlighten you? And who do you think you are?”

”Do you know who we are? How dare you block our way? Are you courting death?” The other martial artist arrogantly added.

Ye Tianchen frowned slightly, but he indeed did not want to make a move. He was only concerned about Dongfang Meng’s safety, unsure of her current condition, praying she wasn’t really dead.

”My friends, I truly just wish to know about the Ancient Tomb Sect and Dongfang Meng, not to impede your way. I hope you can shed some light.”

Swish!

Bang!

The two martial artists attacked, forcefully and rudely, one slashing with a sword light, and the other punching towards Ye Tianchen. Ye Tianchen hesitated for a moment, realizing that in this Ancient Martial World, politeness in inquiry was useless, if these two wouldn’t disclose willingly, then there’s no choice but to act.

Thunk!

Thunk!

Two punches later, these two martial artists, whose cultivation realm was not on par with Ye Tianchen, were sent flying by Ye Tianchen’s ”Vajra Divine Fist,” heavily crashing to the ground. As they struggled to get back up, Ye Tianchen’s fist light neared their heads. A slight movement from them would shatter their skulls, leaving them utterly annihilated.

”You... who exactly are you?” one of the martial artists asked in terror.

”We... we are disciples of Mount Hua, if you dare lay a hand on us, you’ll be enemies of the entire Mount Hua.” The other martial artist quickly added.

Clearly, these two martial artists hadn’t anticipated the strength of the young man before them to be so overwhelming. They weren’t Ye Tianchen’s match; now they realized that if Ye Tianchen wished to end them, it would be effortless. Their earlier arrogance was utterly courting death.

Ye Tianchen hadn’t expected these martial artists to be disciples of the Huashan Sect. The Huashan Sect was where the elder Feng Qingyang belonged. Although Feng Qingyang had long since left Mount Hua and reached a tier of strength where distinctions between races and sects didn’t matter anymore, his actions were of global importance. Whether one belonged to the Huashan Sect was trivial now.

Of course, Ye Tianchen wouldn’t harm these martial artists, not to mention they bore no enmity towards him, and even considering the elder’s face, Ye Tianchen wouldn’t act against the people of the Huashan Sect. All he wished to know was about the Ancient Tomb Sect, about Dongfang Meng’s whereabouts.

”I just want to know, what happened to the Ancient Tomb Sect now? Is Dongfang Meng dead?” Ye Tianchen asked.

The two Huashan Sect disciples exchanged glances, feeling that Ye Tianchen might not be an evil person, otherwise he would have no hesitation in killing them earlier, there was no need to wait until now. So one of the martial artists spoke, ”We heard this from others as well, the entire Ancient Martial World is abuzz with it. Not long ago, someone sensed a surge of overwhelming Martial Arts True Power, delivering a fatal blow to the Ancient Tomb Sect, leveling the entire mountain peak where the sect resided. Dongfang Meng charged out to challenge the assailant, the battle was fierce, she was gravely injured, her fate unknown...”

”Thank you!”

After speaking, Ye Tianchen didn’t pause a moment, immediately rushing in the direction of the Ancient Tomb Sect. He was inexplicably anxious now, a feeling he’d never had before. He was worried, worried about Dongfang Meng’s safety, worried she might truly die.

Along the way, Dongfang Meng had shared many experiences with him—from dual cultivation with the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture to escaping death under Li Qiushui’s hand, then both entering the Ancient Martial World to rescue Tian Boguang, granting Ye Tianchen true martial artist status, receiving the ”Yijin Jing” lineage, and later attending the Ancient Martial World conference at the Songshan Sect. Through these journeys, the bond between him and Dongfang Meng transcended words, if one had to state it, it would be just one sentence: as long as Dongfang Meng is in danger, and Ye Tianchen has not died, even if he would be torn asunder, he would go to save her.

Using Divine Movement Skill to its fullest extent, Ye Tianchen reached the former mountain of the Ancient Tomb Sect in an hour. Seeing the scene below left him stunned, his heart thudding. The mountain really was flattened; no trace of the Ancient Tomb Sect remained, completely disintegrated, nothing but debris and dust, did it truly happen as the two Huashan Sect disciples said? Has the Ancient Tomb Sect been razed, has Dongfang Meng died?

”No... you can’t die. You said you wanted to conquer the Martial Arts World with me... to seek Divine Arts!”

Ye Tianchen couldn’t accept it, refusing to believe Dongfang Meng was dead. This woman was crucial in his life, someone he couldn’t let go of. Without Dongfang Meng, he wouldn’t have reached his current Martial Arts Cultivation. The feelings between him and Dongfang Meng can’t be explained easily, nor can they be fully articulated.

As his emotions surged, Ye Tianchen, with a resolute expression and cold eyes, used ”Seeking Divine Skill.” It was a powerful Ancient Divine Skill with no offensive capability but a magical ability to restore scenes and reveal historical truths. Using such a skill consumes substantial Divine Thought Power of the caster; however, Ye Tianchen ignored all that. He wanted to see firsthand what had occurred, to know Dongfang Meng’s fate.

When Ye Tianchen performed the ”Seeking Divine Skill,” he saw everything that happened to the Ancient Tomb Sect before, his gaze filled with killing intent, filled with anger, because those who came to destroy the Ancient Tomb Sect and attack Dongfang Meng weren’t just one, but two deeply formidable people in black robes. Judging by their attire, Ye Tianchen deduced they should be from the Blood Killing Organization. They’ve indeed found this place, and did not hesitate to destroy the entire Ancient Tomb Sect.

In the scene, it was a pitch-black night when suddenly two figures clad entirely in black appeared atop the mountain of the Ancient Tomb Sect. After exchanging glances, they struck together, two immensely powerful Martial Arts True Powers fell onto the mountain, instantly shattering it, completely collapsing it. Dongfang Meng charged out from inside, wielding a Jade Maiden Sword, appearing like a Fairy untouched by the human world, her eyes holding a trace of anger and killing intent. She knew these two in black were strong but did not retreat; this was her home, a place she would protect at any cost, even death would not deter her from defending it.

The battle was fierce; Dongfang Meng fought the two black-clad experts alone. Clearly, these two were veteran assassins from the Blood Killing Organization, constantly pressing, with lethal moves at every turn, each aimed robustly to take Dongfang Meng’s life. Ye Tianchen had experienced the Blood Killing Organization’s might; each of their assassins trained in Martial Arts Divine Skills focused on taking lives. Thus, each attack was deadly, extremely dangerous and fierce. Alone, Dongfang Meng was overwhelmed, gradually falling behind, yet she fought to the death, blocking the two black-clad assassins firmly.

Clearly, the two assassins from the Blood Killing Organization hadn’t anticipated Dongfang Meng’s combat prowess to be this strong; they exchanged a glance before escalating their ferocity. Dongfang Meng was injured, hit by Martial Arts True Power, blood trickling from her lips, yet her gaze remained unwavering.

Finally, Dongfang Meng couldn’t withstand it, struck flying, but she stubbornly refused to back down or flee, instead holding her Jade Maiden Sword, coldly staring at the approaching two black-robed figures.

”Speak, where is Ye Tianchen?” one of the black-robed figures asked coldly.

”I don’t know!” Dongfang Meng replied without hesitation.

”Don’t know? You’ve even dual cultivated the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture with him; how could you not know? Tell us, and we can allow you two to live and die together, not walk the lonely road.” Another black-robed figure sneered disdainfully.

Swish!

Dongfang Meng said no more, she couldn’t tell these two from the Blood Killing Organization about Ye Tianchen’s whereabouts, there was nothing to say. Even if it meant her demise, she wouldn’t speak; her steadfast gaze said it all, once more engaging the two black-robed figures.

Suddenly, another black-robed figure appeared from the void, a palm striking towards Dongfang Meng. She couldn’t evade, struck on the back, sent flying, and naturally, she wasn’t foolish. In such a situation, risking certain death, she borrowed the force of the palm to escape accordingly. The last appearing black-robed figure coolly glanced ahead, saying, ”Chase, once we capture her, we won’t worry about Ye Tianchen not appearing. By then, I’ll make Ye Tianchen surrender all his treasures!” (To be continued.
