“Yes, it’s only been how many years since he cultivated the martial arts.”
“How could he have reached number one on the Heavenly Ranking, how could he have achieved the rank of Sealed Patriarch, how could he have come so close to smashing the Chu Sect with his own strength?”
Listening to the Fist Emperor’s words, Ye Qingtian shook his head and laughed.
With these words, there was no doubt that the Fist Emperor was red in the face and could no longer utter any words of doubt.
Yes, just as Ye Qingtian had said, Ye Fan had written so many feats at such a young age, and one more was not something impossible.
At this moment, both the Fist Emperor and the Sword Saint were silent.
In the matter of Ye Fan, the Sword Saint and the others had undoubtedly suffered too much controversy.
And now that Ye Qingtian was once again talking about that man, the Sword Saint and the others naturally did not have too much to say.
“Alright, let’s not talk about that for now.”
“The Chu Sect has only been temporarily beaten back by me, and will soon make a comeback.”
“Take advantage of this gap, I’ll take you guys out of here.”
Now was not the time for idle chatter, although Ye Qingtian had just relied on the Heavenly Mortal Palm to forcefully suppress a group of powerful people from the Chu Sect.
However, Ye Qingtian knew very well that those people just now were only part of the Chu Sect’s strength.
It would not take long for the Chu Sect to kill Yan Mountain again.
Staying here was undoubtedly sitting around waiting for death.
The best thing to do now was to leave!
“Leave?”
“Leaving Yan Mountain, then where are we going?”
The Fist Emperor and Sword Saint both asked in confusion.
Now that the Chu Sect had started a war throughout Yan Xia, the martial power of all the major provinces had fallen.
The Fist Emperor and the Sword Sage really could not imagine where Ye Qingtian could take them.
“If I were to flee abroad, I would rather stay in Yanshan.”
The Fist Emperor said stubbornly.
The Sword Saint did not want to go into exile overseas either.
Ye Qingtian however shook his head, “Don’t worry about it, we are not so desperate that we have to hide abroad.”
“I am going to take you all to Jiangdong.”
“As far as I know, Ye Fan left behind means in Jiangdong during his lifetime that can shelter the Jiangdong martial dao against strong enemy invasions.”
“It can be said that right now, the safest place in the entire Yanxia is Jiangdong.”
“I will take all of you to retreat to Jiangdong and use it as a stronghold to fight the Chu Sect to the death.”
“The Chu Sect is spreading itself very thin this time, going to war with the martial arts of all countries at the same time.”
“As long as we drag out the time battle line, we may not be able to thwart Che Chu Sect’s ambitions and attempts!”
Ye Qingtian spoke in a deep voice.
“What?”
“Back to Jiangdong?”
“Old Ye, are you sure you’re not joking?”
“The holy land of martial arts in Yanxia is Yanshan!”
“The highest authority in Yanxia is the Martial God Hall!”
“If we are to defend Yan Mountain, we should guard Yan Xia’s Martial God Hall, not Jiang Dong for that Ye Fan!”
When the Fist Emperor heard this, he was surprisingly angry.
It was clear that Yan Mountain was the symbol of Yanxia’s martial dao, but now, Ye Qingtian was asking them to abandon Yan Mountain to guard that disobedient Jiangdong land.
What would others think when word of this got out later?
They would inevitably think that the land of Jiangdong was the holy land of martial dao in Yanxia, and that Ye Fan’s status was even higher than their Martial God Hall.
What’s more, everyone in the world knew that Ye Fan and the Martial God Hall did not get along.
Now that they had run to Jiangdong, in the eyes of outsiders, it would appear that their Martial God Hall was incompetent and had fled to Jiangdong to seek refuge from a dead man.
If word got out, they, the Martial God Hall, as well as the Sword Saint and Fist Emperor, would undoubtedly be completely reduced to the laughing stock of the world’s martial dao.
This was naturally something the Sword Saint and Fist Emperor could not accept.
“Is this still the time to consider these false names?”
“Do you want to kill the last hope of my Yanxia Martial Dao for the sake of these false names?”
Ye Qingtian also rose in anger, his low, angry voice echoing.
At this moment, behind them, the hundreds of Yanxia martial artists were all silent.
They were like the last remaining soldiers after a great battle, waiting for their general to make a final decision.
And the general’s decision would completely determine the life and death of these men.
“Hahahaha…”
“Hope?”
“Ye Qingtian, do you really think that there is still hope for you, Yan Xia?”
Suddenly, at the foot of Yan Mountain, there were lofty laughter coming from them.
Ye Qingtian and the others were aghast as they turned their heads to look.
Only to see that underneath Yan Mountain, the people of the Chu Sect were once again rushing up.
And this time, there were even more people from the Chu Clan coming.
A total of thirty-six strong members of the Chu Clan’s Dragon, Tiger and Wolf Guards had all arrived.
On top of that, beside Ande Man, there were a few more elders of the Chu Clan.
“D*mn!”
“How could they have come so quickly?”
Ye Qingtian secretly said something bad in his heart, and his complexion then turned gloomy.
“Wu Ya, I’ll hold them off in a moment, you find an opening and take your father and your Uncle Xiao to kill down Yan Mountain.”
“Get out of here!”
Ye Qingtian knew that a vicious battle was already inevitable.
There were many strong people in the Chu Sect, and if Ye Qingtian were by himself, even if he could not defeat so many people, he would still be able to get out easily.
Of course, the prerequisite was that Ye Qingtian had no ties.
Therefore, the first order of business was to send the Fist Emperor and the others out first.
“Fellow countrymen, today is the moment of life and death for my Yanxia Martial Dao.”
“In today’s battle, we do not seek victory, we only seek to preserve what is left of the living.”
“After the battle starts, I will try to hold back as many Chu Sect powerhouses as possible.”
“And as for you all, do your best to rush out of Yan Mountain and escape for your lives.”
“If there is a chance, we will meet again in Jiangdong!”
With these words, Ye Qingtian was close to having said these words of parting from life and death.
The God of War knew very well that soon, most of these fellow Yan Xia soldiers would be dead.
The only thing he could say now was to seek his own luck and run for his life.
“No!”
“I will not leave!”
“I will die defending Yanshan!”
“The son of Heaven guards the door, the king dies for the country.”
“If Yan Mountain does not survive, what use is there for us as pillar states?”
The Fist King shouted stubbornly, determined to defend Yan Mountain to the death.
The Sword Saint was also unwilling to leave.
The Martial God Hall was his cause, and Yanshan was the place where he had fought all his life.
Even if he were to die here, he would not want to live on.
“Wu Ya, take it away by force!” Ye Qingtian did not care about them and directly asked Mo Wu Ya to take the two of them down Yan Mountain by force.
“Go?”
“None of you here will be able to get away!”
Andromeda laughed wantonly.
“Is that so?”
“With just a few of you?” Ye Qingtian’s eyebrows were icy cold, and his domineering words were filled with contempt for these people in front of him.
What Chu Family inner guards, what Chu Sect elders, Ye Qingtian was not afraid.
“Of course not!”
“By virtue of them, it is me.”
Whew! ,
The mountain wind was bitterly cold and swept up the wild sand in the sky.
The storm clouds swirled and brought forth a thunderclap.
The sky was silent, but suddenly the wind rose and the clouds swelled.
As the martial practitioners of Yanxia were in fear, they saw a grey-robed figure at the end of the River of Heaven, with his feet on the River of Heaven, slowly striding towards them.
It was clear that his steps were so slow.
However, the mountains and the earth seemed to have gone mad, receding madly underneath him.
Just like this, in just a few breaths, an old man, deep into the abyss and as mighty as a mountain, straddled the Yan Mountain.
“Worship, Old Sect Master!”
….
“Worship, Old Sect Master!”
…..
Upon seeing this man, the strong men of the Chu Sect at the top of Yan Mountain knelt down and worshipped.
As if they were believers, they worshipped their faith.
When the Yanxia martial artists heard this, they immediately changed colour.
The Fist Emperor’s eyes widened.
The Sword Saint’s face turned pale.
Even Ye Qingtian, the Guardian God of Yanxia, could not help but reveal a frightened light in the depths of his eyes.
Chu Yuan!
Chu Yuan, the previous Sect Master of the Chu Sect!
The culprit who had forced Ye Fan to die back then.
The most powerful man in the world.
Above the Seal, the God Realm cultivator Chu Yuan!
Ye Qingtian had never imagined that this old master of the Chu Sect would personally descend to Yan Xia Yan Mountain!
