Tianshuang was worried about Ye Tianchen. After going through so much together, the two had long become life-and-death companions. She couldn’t help but worry. Throughout history, to claim the destruction of a long-standing Immortal Sect with one’s own strength belonged only to a Supreme Emperor. Ye Tianchen was still a far cry from reaching the realm of a Supreme Emperor, so wanting to destroy the Five Poison Sect was absolutely impossible. Moreover, to recklessly declare that he would personally attack in three days and leave no one alive in the Five Poison Sect—wasn’t this suicide? Even if he dared to go and do it, wouldn’t the Five Poison Sect be prepared?

Ye Tianchen’s cultivation realm was only at the mid-stage Martial Venerate, even though he possessed the ”Yijin Jing” Cultivation Treasure, and supreme treasures like ”Holy Heaven Prison,” and had the three ancient Divine Swords in hand. However, with his current cultivation and combat power, to roam the entire Ancient Martial World was impossible. He hadn’t yet reached the level of being one of Earth’s Three Ancient Martial Worlds’ strongest. He didn’t have the strength required to destroy the Five Poison Sect. Even if he became Earth’s number one powerhouse, it was likely still impossible to destroy a long-standing and deeply-rooted Immortal Sect. Besides a Supreme Emperor, there weren’t other figures with such strength...

Few people believed that Ye Tianchen dared to attack the Five Poison Sect; even fewer believed he had the power to destroy it. Even Tianshuang and others didn’t have much confidence in Ye Tianchen. It was unimaginable what it meant to destroy a long-standing Immortal Sect and how powerful one had to be!

”I know the Five Poison Sect is a long-standing tradition, and I know it’s difficult to destroy it. But for us right now, the Five Poison Sect poses the greatest threat. They were the first to declare, meaning they won’t let us go and will use the strongest force to search and kill us. No matter where we escape to, it’s useless. Instead, why not confront them directly and make them realize we’re not to be trifled with? Perhaps then they might reconsider,” Ye Tianchen shared his thoughts.

”I understand, I do. But have you thought about this? Doing so is extremely dangerous for you, almost ensuring no return. We need you, the villagers of Desolate Stone Village need you, your friends and family need you. If you die, what will happen to all those who need you?” Tianshuang asked earnestly, her brow deeply furrowed.

Ye Tianchen paused, took a deep breath, gazed at the stars above, and looked toward the direction of the Emperor Star. He said faintly, ”And this I know well. But you can’t just think of this and do nothing. Inaction will only lead to an eventual end at the hands of ruthless people. I’d rather take risks and continuously improve myself until I have the real power to protect myself and my loved ones. That’s the most reliable way.”

Hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, Tianshuang was momentarily stunned. She hadn’t expected him to think so far ahead and have such a clear understanding. Indeed, in this brutal Martial Arts World, even in Earth’s Three Ancient Martial Worlds, it’s all bloody and ruthless. The law of the jungle is the basic rule of this world. To survive, to have more, to protect more, one must grow stronger constantly. Avoidance only leads to one outcome: death, sooner or later. Ye Tianchen had already seen through this and understood that only strength and fists could ensure survival in the Martial Arts World. That’s why he made such a bold decision. The Five Poison Sect wanted to kill? Then let it be a good fight!

”What you say is right, but with your current strength, you’re no match for the Five Poison Sect. You shouldn’t go, wait until you’re stronger,” Tianshuang advised after thinking for a moment.

”Don’t worry, I’ll attack when the Five Poison Sect is unprepared, when not all masters are within. Hit them when they’re caught off guard!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

”That... The Five Poison Sect relaxed? You said you’d attack in three days, but now I’m afraid they’re on high alert, with Du Tianqi waiting for you to fall into his trap!” Tianshuang hurriedly remarked.

”No, I speculate that the Five Poison Sect will let their masters out now, expecting relaxed vigilance. Du Tianqi definitely wouldn’t take me seriously and won’t set tight defenses; that would disgrace him, giving me too much credit,” Ye Tianchen replied with a confident smile.

Tianshuang frowned, her eyes suddenly sparkling. She understood that Ye Tianchen might truly have a plan, appearing reckless and thoughtless, but actually deeply considerate, not boasting recklessly.

Ye Tianchen had publicly declared he would raid the Five Poison Sect in three days, intending to fiercely rebuke them. Secondly, to incite the sect’s fury, making them eager to hunt him down. If the Five Poison Sect did indeed prepare strictly for Ye Tianchen, they’d lose face and be looked down upon by other martial artists. As an ancient group, the Five Poison Sect is one of Earth’s oldest cultivation forces, exceptionally powerful, with even items like the Fiery Flame Banner left by the sect’s founder, the Poison Saint. Elders in seclusion remained within. To be so on guard for just Ye Tianchen would disgrace them. By declaring this, many sect masters would pour out, seeking Ye Tianchen, whom Du Tianqi didn’t deem worthy enough to prioritize, revealing the mind behind Ye Tianchen’s words.

”But even so, Du Tianqi is likely seated in the Five Poison Sect. If you go...” Tianshuang still worriedly said.

”Don’t worry, I have my methods. I won’t just go to waste my life. My life is precious. Before truly entering this Martial Arts Great World, I, Ye Tianchen, cannot die. There are too many secrets to explore, and indeed, I wish to see the Emperor Star,” Ye Tianchen calmly stated.

”If you really must go, then I’ll go with you, fight side by side, and make him pay dearly!” Tianshuang nodded and smiled, looking at Ye Tianchen.

”You...” Ye Tianchen paused, looking at Tianshuang.

”And me, I’ll go with you too.” Another voice sounded, as Dongfang Meng smiled and flew over to Ye Tianchen’s side.

”You...” Ye Tianchen was still somewhat at a loss, gazing dumbfoundedly at the two women.

Ye Tianchen froze for a moment, shook his head, and said, ”You two should stay here and await my good news!”

”No way, I have to go!” Tianshuang and Dongfang Meng, the two beauties, almost said in unison.

”No, I won’t agree. Should you insist on going, I can only use Holy Heaven Prison to confine you!” Ye Tianchen sternly said.

”You... why?” Tianshuang pouted in disbelief.

”It’s only natural for us to join you in eradicating the Five Poison Sect. What reason do you have to refuse us!” Dongfang Meng also voiced her frustration.

”If you come along, you’ll be in the way. I’d have to divert my attention to protect you, which limits me!” Ye Tianchen shook his head.

”You... you think we’ll be in your way?”

”You consider us a burden?”

”I never said that. You’ve said it yourself,” Ye Tianchen shrugged.

Upon his words, Tianshuang and Dongfang Meng swiftly lunged at him to demonstrate their ”pinch technique,” finding his remarks too infuriating, wanting to join Ye Tianchen in life and death only to be rejected here and there. It was too much, necessitating a lesson.

”Alright, alright, I’m serious. Wuxue and the other eight have yet to be found. It’s unclear whether they’re in danger or self-cultivating. Depending on Hu Gao alone, it’s challenging to find them. Each of them is a life-death brother of mine. I brought them into the Ancient Martial World to cultivate and become true martial artists; hence I bear the responsibility to protect them. I hope both of you can help search, Shuanger using divination skills, and Menger with your powerful combat power.” Ye Tianchen earnestly implored Tianshuang and Dongfang Meng.

When Ye Tianchen brought Dongfang Meng back, the first thing he did upon finishing healing was ask if Hu Gao had returned, only to receive a headshake. Before heading to Flame Valley, he had asked Hu Gao to meet the ancient martial world’s entrance, bringing Wuxue and the others over. It had been four days without Hu Gao’s return, signaling something went awry. Otherwise, Hu Gao would’ve brought the eight back to Heavenly Pit by then. Ye Tianchen was worried and wanted to search but didn’t dare, as countless eyes from the Three Ancient Martial Worlds were on him, attacking relentlessly should he appear, preventing him from finding Wuxue and thus bringing danger to them.

”Shuanger is a powerful Divination Master; she’s perfect for finding Wuxue and the others. I’ll accompany you to the Five Poison Sect and fight together!” Dongfang Meng earnestly said, looking at Ye Tianchen. (To be continued.
