Chapter 697: Wait for Me to Come and Chop!

The Tianqian Mountain Range, once the site of the Tianqian Sect, now the headquarters of the Zichen Sect.

He Mingde, the sect master of the Zichen Sect, had been riding high these past two years!

The Zichen Sect had endured in obscurity for generations, and finally, in his era, they could welcome back the mighty Wind Emperor.

He Mingde, having rendered great service, was heavily rewarded by His Majesty the Wind Emperor.

In the past two or three years, using the Wind Emperor's rewards, he had broken through two minor realms in succession and was now a half-step Divine Travel realm powerhouse!

Moreover, among the elixirs bestowed by the Wind Emperor were those that could help him break through to the Divine Travel realm!

He Mingde had never dreamed that he would be able to break through to the Divine Travel realm in his lifetime!

The Divine Travel realm was the pinnacle of the Boundless Realm.

Even in the Northern Domain, it would be enough to establish a sect.

However, He Mingde had no ambitions for the Northern Domain. Since Lord Shangguan had gone to the Northern Domain, the affairs of the Southern Domain were left to him to manage.

"How are those fellows from the Qin Kingdom being handled?" He Mingde asked an elder below.

The elder replied, "Reporting to the sect master, the entire Qin royal family has been captured. The men are sent to the mines to dig ore, and the women are sent to the Music Bureau as slaves, never to rise again! The Danwu Academy has been sealed off, and the instructors connected to Ye Yuan have been sent to mine ore along with the Qin royal family. As for that Medicine Fragrance Pavilion, it has been completely wiped out!"

A look of satisfaction spread across He Mingde's face, and he laughed heartily, "Hahaha... Well done! That brat named Ye Yuan made us suffer such a huge setback and nearly crippled Lin Feng. He deserves to die! Now that brat is being dealt with by Lord Shangguan, and we can't interfere, but we can certainly give his relatives and friends a proper 'welcome'!"

The elder naturally knew the resentment in He Mingde's heart. The Zichen Sect had endured for thousands of years, and when they finally erupted, they had thought to unify the Southern Domain.

Who would have thought that at this moment, a brat named Ye Yuan would emerge, causing the Zichen Sect to stumble badly and disrupting the Wind Emperor's original plans.

At that time, He Mingde was terrified, unable to sleep well each night, fearing that the Wind Emperor would kill him in a fit of rage.

But who would have thought that the Wind Emperor not only didn't kill him but also let him continue to handle all affairs in the Southern Domain.

However, although the matter had passed, the resentment in He Mingde's heart had not.

Some time ago, He Mingde finally sorted out all the affairs in the Southern Domain and immediately turned his矛头 toward the Qin Kingdom, which had deep ties with Ye Yuan.

"Looks like you're having a good laugh!" Just as He Mingde was feeling pleased, a voice suddenly rang out in the hall.

He Mingde's expression changed, and he said coldly, "Who? Playing tricks! If you have the guts, show yourself!"

He Mingde was extremely shocked at this moment. Someone had managed to enter the main hall of the Zichen Sect silently, without anyone in the entire sect noticing, including himself!

Since when did the Southern Domain have such a powerful existence?

A young man in white robes strode unhurriedly into the hall. When He Mingde saw him, his legs went weak, and he nearly fell from his chair.

This young man was none other than Ye Yuan, who had come from the Northern Domain!

Having left the Southern Domain for so long, Ye Yuan was still somewhat worried about the Qin Kingdom.

Although his parents had left the Qin Kingdom long ago, there were still many people he cared about who remained there.

For example, Shopkeeper Feng San, Hu Yanyong, Jiang Yunhe, and others.

He had returned to the Southern Domain this time to enter the Gale World through the Dayan True Sect ruins, and on the way, he stopped by the Qin Kingdom, only to find it had been completely wiped out.

Shopkeeper Feng San had died tragically, the Medicine Fragrance Pavilion had been disbanded, and Hu Yanyong, Jiang Yunhe, and the Nanfeng family had all been sent to mine ore.

He Mingde's actions had thoroughly enraged Ye Yuan.

He Mingde now held absolute power in the Southern Domain and had no qualms about doing such things. A little inquiry revealed that the Zichen Sect was behind it all.

Ye Yuan sent Bai Guang to rescue Hu Yanyong and the others while he personally came to settle the score.

In fact, Ye Yuan had arrived just a step too late. When he reached the Zichen Sect, the elder in charge had just returned to the sect, leading to the scene just now.

What astonished He Mingde was that in just two or three years, Ye Yuan had already become a Divine Travel realm powerhouse!

He Mingde knew Ye Yuan's talent was monstrous, but he never imagined it could be this monstrous!

Seeing Ye Yuan, He Mingde fell to his knees with a thud and begged for mercy, "Ye... Ye Yuan, I... I... this was all the Wind Emperor's orders! I was just following orders, please don't kill me!"

Ye Yuan looked at He Mingde and suddenly grinned, "Is that so? I'm going to see Zhao Tianyin soon. How about I take you along to confront him face to face?"

Ye Yuan didn't give him a chance to explain. With a light flick of his finger, violent primal power directly restrained He Mingde.

As for that elder, he was blasted into dust.

Ye Yuan moved and appeared before He Mingde. He slapped his palm on He Mingde's forehead and pulled, directly extracting his soul and sealing it into a pre-prepared small bottle.

"Xiao Huo, take good care of this fellow!"

After doing this, Ye Yuan gave an order to Xiao Huo, and a wisp of primal fire quietly entered the small bottle.

Ye Yuan casually sealed the bottle, but heard a sizzling sound from inside.

This method of refining a soul was extremely cruel. He Mingde's soul could survive in the bottle for a hundred years, enduring the torment of primal fire every moment, until it was completely refined, never to be reborn.

Ye Yuan had never treated his enemies like this, but this He Mingde had crossed his bottom line!

The death of Feng San had filled Ye Yuan with intense killing intent toward He Mingde.

Moreover, the calamity that had befallen the Boundless Realm was ultimately He Mingde's fault!

Although he was just a small figure, this small figure had changed the course of two small worlds!

As for the entire Zichen Sect, Ye Yuan naturally showed no mercy. He chose to annihilate the sect, slaughtering everyone from top to bottom.

However, to Ye Yuan's surprise, he did not find Lin Feng in the Zichen Sect, so he escaped for now.

Ye Yuan didn't have much time to waste on this. His priority was to head to the Gale World, so he didn't linger.

...

A few days later, Ye Yuan's figure appeared at the ruins of the Dayan True Sect.

Times had changed. Standing here again, Ye Yuan felt a surge of emotion.

Back then, the eight great sects had come to explore the secret realm, never expecting to trigger such a brutal war between two worlds. Of the martial artists who had come to explore the secret realm together, only Ye Yuan remained.

Even his fellow disciples from the Nethercloud Sect were still missing.

The ruins were now filled with martial artists from the Gale World. Ye Yuan showed no mercy, fighting his way all the way to the two-world passage.

Guarding the two-world passage was a Divine Travel realm powerhouse, but he was no match for Ye Yuan.

"Go back and tell Zhao Tianyin to wash his neck and wait for me to come and chop!" Ye Yuan did not kill that Divine Travel realm martial artist but said to him instead.
