“*Hmph!* just you? Very well, today I’ll take your life.” The Vice Gate Master snorted coldly without the slightest fear.

 

At his signal, the dozen or so experts in the hall all looked toward Chen Hui with ill intent.

 

“Your Mother will be fine. Leave her to me. You focus on handling your own affairs.” Just as the atmosphere in the hall grew tense, ready to explode at any moment, a clear and composed voice suddenly rang out.

 

Hearing this voice, Chen Hui’s worried body also relaxed considerably. But in contrast, that group from the Wild Tiger Gate seemed to recall some nightmarish figure, their bodies all freezing in place.

 

Then Qin Yichen, Feng Qianxue, and Mu Yanfeng walked into the hall.

 

“How is this possible? Didn’t they say everyone died at Prison Dragon Slope?”

 

They were utterly shocked and in disbelief.

 

Among them, some had personally gone to look. The entire swamp, everything had been levelled flat. Moreover, even outside the swamp, quite a few had suffered.

 

Yet Qin Yichen’s group had clearly still been near Prison Dragon Slope when the swamp underwent its drastic transformation!

 

Qin Yichen paid them no mind whatsoever. He walked directly before the old woman, produced a Pill, and fed it to her.

 

Moments later, the old woman’s breathing became noticeably smoother.

 

Qin Yichen patted Chen Hui’s shoulder without saying much, then carried the old woman out of the hall.

 

The instant they exited, Chen Hui stood up, no longer displaying that simple-minded appearance, resembling instead a wrathful guardian deity.

 

He was pure-hearted and kind, but that did not mean he had no reverse scale!

 

His Old Mother, she was his reverse scale!

 

Qin Yichen did not interfere with what followed. If those small fry could actually harm Chen Hui, that would be truly absurd.

 

Before long, the entire hall collapsed, with only Chen Hui walking out.

 

“My Son…” After the old woman awoke, tears streamed down her face.

 

These were tears of overwhelming joy.

 

Chen Hui’s tiger eyes glistened with tears, yet he said nothing. He had been blind, actually taking a wolf as a Brother, allowing his own Mother to suffer such grievances.

 

Toward the Wild Tiger Gate, Chen Hui no longer held any attachment. Carrying his Old Mother on his back, he departed with Qin Yichen’s group.

 

…

 

The Radiance Sacred Master, Chen Feng, had been killed!

 

News spread rapidly throughout the entire Sacred Lands region.

 

Chen Feng had died at Qin Yichen’s hands!

 

Once again, Qin Yichen’s name drew everyone’s attention.

 

This was even more shocking than him killing Ling Tuyai.

 

However, their focus was not on this. It was on… the appearance of the Phoenix Martial Soul!

 

After those two peak Martial Ancestors from Radiance Sacred Land fled back, they spread the news.

 

Chen Feng had been forced into a desperate situation by that young woman with the Phoenix Martial Soul, ultimately dying miserably at Prison Dragon Slope.

 

Phoenix Martial Soul.

 

That was a legendary Martial Soul!

 

Rarely seen even once in several thousand years, yet now it had appeared, and moreover, she belonged to Brilliant Sky Sacred Land.

 

Furthermore, that young woman with the Phoenix Martial Soul was Qin Yichen’s close companion!

 

Subsequently, various rumours spread, saying that a young woman with the Phoenix Martial Soul had been brought into Brilliant Sky Sacred Land by Qin Yichen himself.

 

“Brilliant Sky Sacred Land is truly about to rise and it cannot be stopped…”

 

“It seems that back then, when the Sacred Martial City Envoy stayed so long at Brilliant Sky, it must have been for that Phoenix Martial Soul!”

 

“Where exactly did Yu Qianqiu find such monstrous talents?!”

 

Having one Qin Yichen was already enough for Brilliant Sky Sacred Land to rise. Yet now, another, a possessor of a Phoenix Martial Soul, had appeared. This made all the other Sacred Lands green with envy.

 

However, only those Envoys who had selected candidates during the Imperial Dynasties Assembly knew why Qin Yichen had chosen Brilliant Sky Sacred Land.

 

In their hearts, they could not express how much they regretted it…

 

Back then, Qin Yichen had appeared too ordinary. In fact, no one had paid him any attention. They had all focused on Li Yuanba instead!

 

And Li Yuanba seemed to have chosen Brilliant Sky Sacred Land precisely because of some young woman from Brilliant Sky.

 

“Yu Qianqiu, you shameless scoundrel!” Upon learning this situation, many Sacred Masters cursed Yu Qianqiu as shameless for actually using a honey trap!

 

How could they know it had merely been a coincidence?

 

…

 

Radiance Sacred Land…

 

Within the great hall, one could describe it as gloomy and bleak.

 

The Radiance Sacred Master’s expression was particularly poor.

 

Although he harboured some wariness and suspicion toward Chen Feng, this did not mean he could afford to lose Chen Feng.

 

Because within Radiance Sacred Land, no one could replace Chen Feng!

 

Otherwise, even under the Sacred Master’s suspicion, Chen Feng could not have remained as the Sacred Master Candidate.

 

There was now only silence.

 

After learning of Chen Feng’s death, the Radiance Sacred Master had not spoken a single word. For three days, he had sat motionless in his seat.

 

Now, Radiance Sacred Land was almost in an isolated position. Losing their last Sacred Master Candidate on top of that, Radiance Sacred Land might face having no Successors.

 

“Yu Qianqiu, even if I cannot obtain it, I won’t let you have your way!” On the fourth day, the Radiance Sacred Master finally spoke, making a decision.

 

He dared not attempt to eliminate that Phoenix Martial Soul young woman!

 

Because that was a Phoenix Martial Soul.

 

If this matter got out, forget Brilliant Sky Sacred Land, Sacred Martial City would never spare him.

 

The Phoenix Martial Soul was far too important to the entire Human Race!

 

The Radiance Sacred Master dared not commit such a universally condemned act.

 

However, besides elimination, he could do one other thing…

 

Spread the news.

 

Once word of the Phoenix Martial Soul’s appearance spread, the Major Forces would not pass up such a once-in-a-millennium opportunity.

 

And during this Heaven Stairway climb, all Forces would gather at Saints Heavenly City!

 

That would be the absolutely perfect opportunity.

 

Meanwhile, Brilliant Sky Sacred Master Yu Qianqiu had obviously anticipated all this.

 

Therefore, while all Sacred Land Disciples were shocked by their own Sacred Land possessing such formidable foundations, he wore a worried expression.

 

Having the Phoenix Martial Soul become universally known was absolutely not a good thing for Brilliant Sky Sacred Land.

 

Although he tried to control the speed of dissemination, news still spread rapidly. In a short time, it had travelled throughout the Sacred Lands.

 

“Sacred Master, news has come from the Ancient Heaven Ascension Tomb…”

 

Just as Yu Qianqiu was troubled, someone rushed in from outside.

 

“Speak!” Yu Qianqiu was somewhat anxious.

 

Li Yuanba and Mu Yanzhen absolutely could not meet with trouble.

 

“Li Yuanba and Mu Yanzhen have emerged from the ancient tomb!”

 

“Really!?” Yu Qianqiu shot to his feet. “Tell me all the details. How are they both doing!?”

 

“Li Yuanba survived a great calamity. After being struck by the Saint Prestige, his strength actually multiplied. He’s already advanced to the Martial Ancestor Realm. And with Li Yuanba’s help, Mu Yanzhen obtained the Heaven Ascension Great Saint’s inheritance and has now also reached the Martial Ancestor Realm…”

 

That person spoke in detail with an excited tone.

 

“Excellent!” Yu Qianqiu clapped his hands together, joy evident on his face.

 

This was undoubtedly tremendous news!

 

Although Li Yuanba’s brilliance had been slightly overshadowed by Qin Yichen, this did not mean Li Yuanba was weak by any measure.

 

On the contrary, in Yu Qianqiu’s heart, Li Yuanba was definitely someone who could surpass Mu Yanfeng.

 

Now that Li Yuanba had been practically baptised by the Saint Prestige, his strength and talent would surely rise to another level.

 

As for Mu Yanzhen, there was even less to say. Originally, her chances of advancing to the Saint Realm were slim. But now, having obtained a Saint Inheritance, everything was completely different.
