Chapter 753 - 752: Closing In Step by Step
But speaking of Void Peak.
As Ye Qingchen was cast into the Valley of Life and Death, the many gathered disciples had already scattered. Lu Yanwu, Lin Shifei, and Zhou Hai were also walking down the mountain with complex expressions.
Although in their minds, Ye Qingchen was invincible.
But this time, it’s different, that’s the Valley of Life and Death! If it were so easy to leave the Valley of Life and Death, would Taotian Palace still use it as a prison?
"Don’t worry, Mr. Ye is blessed by the heavens, and although the Valley of Life and Death may trap others, it might not be able to trap him!" Lin Shifei took a deep breath and said.
"Indeed, Mr. Ye is not an ordinary existence!" Zhou Hai nodded repeatedly, "How many times have we nearly despaired, only for Mr. Ye to perform a heaven-shocking reversal!"
Lu Yanwu sighed deeply at these words.
Zhou Hai and Lin Shifei, after all, were not too familiar with the Valley of Life and Death and were unaware of its horrors—how many ferocious and terrifying beings were imprisoned there, and once Ye Qingchen entered, it was like a lamb among wolves.
Now, they could only hope for Ye Qingchen’s Martial Arts Divine Techniques.
As they pondered this, someone stopped them, face cold, saying:
"Senior Brother Ye Xuan wants to see you!"
"What does he want with us?"
Lin Shifei and Zhou Hai exchanged glances, their faces turning pale. Marquis Guangjun had been suppressed, so why did Ye Xuan, the favored disciple of Marquis Guangjun, want to see them?
Only Lu Yanwu could barely maintain composure, nodding and saying:
"Okay!"
At that moment.
The group met Ye Xuan again in a small courtyard.
This third senior brother of Void Peak sat in the courtyard, his expression stern. On either side of him stood Void Peak’s most powerful disciples, all of whom were top-tier figures in Void Peak, reaching the Human Immortal Seventh or even Eighth Layer.
These figures, usually lofty, stood as still as statues, their hands subdued, like servant underlings.
As Lu Yanwu and the others entered, it was as if they were facing a monstrous wave.
Ye Xuan spoke faintly:
"Ye Qingchen caused my master to be suppressed beneath Void Peak, how do you think this debt should be settled?"
Zhou Hai and Lin Shifei shuddered, clueless about what to do. They never expected that retaliation from Marquis Guangjun would reach them.
Only Lu Yanwu seemed to have anticipated this, speaking in a firm tone: "Marquis Guangjun being suppressed was the decision of the Sect Leader, what does it have to do with us?"
"What does it have to do with you?" Ye Xuan sneered: "My master was suppressed entirely because of Ye Qingchen, and you are on good terms with him. Now that Ye Qingchen has been cast into the Valley of Life and Death, it doesn’t mean the debt is cleared!"
Though his tone was casual, it fell upon the audience like a chilling wind from the Nine Netherworld, causing everyone to shiver uncontrollably, their blood seemingly freezing.
Knowing there was no avoiding it, Lu Yanwu raised her head, facing Ye Xuan without fear, saying:
"What do you want? To kill us?"
"Of course not! Killing you would be too lenient, and would also violate the sect rules." Ye Xuan coldly smiled. "I have ways to make you rather wish for death!"
He extended his finger, reaching out to the void, which trembled like a water surface, spreading infinite ripples outward, as if pointing to the center of the cosmos.
At that moment, Lu Yanwu felt a powerful force pouring into her body, causing her once surging True Qi to suddenly become sluggish, like a beast in the wild being caged, or a galloping horse being reined in.
"What is this?"
Lu Yanwu’s face turned pale.
"This is the Trapping God Pointing, a sealing technique. Your entire cultivation has been sealed by me, rendering you no different from an ordinary person!" Ye Xuan calmly explained.
But as his words fell, Lu Yanwu, Zhou Hai, and Lin Shifei were struck as if by thunder.
Such a terrifying method?
Can it really completely seal a Celestial Venerable Ninth Layer? Unable to mobilize any power? Seeing Lu Yanwu’s aura diminish to the extreme, unable to muster any strength, they could not help but believe.
"Do not attempt to undo the Trapping God Pointing. To undo it, your cultivation must at least surpass mine! Anyone daring to undo your Trapping God Pointing will be opposing me!"
As he spoke, he casually pointed two more fingers.
Immediately.
Zhou Hai and Lin Shifei froze, collapsing to the ground. Only then did Ye Xuan withdraw his right hand, loudly declaring: "These three are to remain in Void Peak, not allowed to take a step outside! Also, I do not wish to see them living comfortably!"
Having said this, Ye Xuan turned and left with wide strides.
The other people in the courtyard cast cold glances at the three, sizing them up like ants, and then turned to leave, leaving the three in fear and trepidation. Though Taotian Palace was full of powerful figures, few dared defy the orders of Ye Xuan, a direct disciple of Marquis Guangjun.
Ye Xuan had come for them!
This news quickly spread throughout Void Peak like a hurricane. For a time, countless people mockingly observed Lu Yanwu and the others:
"Haha, you previously leveraged Ye Qingchen for benefits. Now with Ye Qing being cast into the Valley of Life and Death, his fate uncertain, what will you do next?"
With Ye Xuan, this great figure in charge.
Who would dare associate with these three? Those who once had good relations now avoided them like the plague, afraid of getting into trouble, some even taking the opportunity to throw stones at them.
Seeing their plight, Fang Mingyu secretly thought it was a close call, thankful he hadn’t associated with Ye Qingchen, or else he might have ended up the same.
And yet.
Most turned their gaze to the Valley of Life and Death.
One day, two days, three days!
The Valley of Life and Death remained still as ever, without a hint of movement.
"It seems Ye Qingchen will never emerge in this lifetime!"
"Indeed... how terrifying is that place, if it were so easy to leave, why would Taotian Palace use it as a prison?"
Some sneered:
"Remember, even Ye Xu Kong from Celestial Moon Peak personally suppressed his own closed-door disciple into the Valley of Life and Death! Even now, haven’t they failed to come out?"
"That person, huh?"
Many were suddenly nostalgic.
Mentioning that person from Celestial Moon Peak, many sighed. That one was an exceptionally talented genius, even more so than Ye Qingchen, but after three years confined in the Valley of Life and Death, they have never emerged, their fate unknown!
"Heh, if even that person couldn’t leave the Valley of Life and Death, Ye Qingchen’s bones are probably long gone!" Many couldn’t help but shake their heads and sneer.
"Besides, even if he were to return alive, what then?"
Someone sneered.
Indeed!
In that moment, countless people nodded, not daring any doubt.
Because Marquis Guangjun’s three closed-door disciples awaited him, the three giants of Void Peak!
