Mu Qianshan!

Grand Hall Master of the Blood Rain Tower.

A powerhouse of the Profound Pill Realm!

Why is he appearing here?

"Not good!"

Qin Wentian, Ye Qing, Hong Man, and Jiang Churan's expressions changed.

They already anticipated the reason why Mu Qianshan suddenly appeared here.

"Mu Qianshan, I know your Blood Rain Tower is powerful, but how dare you barge into the Qingzhou Sword Fighting Conference? Aren't you afraid of inciting public wrath?" The True Martial Sect Leader said solemnly.

"Indeed! This Blood Rain Tower is too arrogant..."

"Disrupting the Qingzhou Sword Fighting Conference, are they trying to start a war with the Thirteen Countries of Qingzhou?"

In attendance, many elders and forces nodded in agreement.

Perhaps.

One sect alone might not be able to contend with Blood Rain Tower, but with so many sects present, if everyone spits, it could drown Blood Rain Tower.

"I'm here for Ye Qingchen!" Mu Qianshan stood with his hands behind his back, ignoring the True Martial Sect Leader's reproach, and said calmly, "This person killed thirty-two of my Gold Medal Assassins from the Blood Rain Tower, and even slew the Second Floor Master, Lei Qianjue!"

"He has formed a deep-seated vendetta with my Blood Rain Tower, and I have come today specifically to take his head, to mourn my fallen brothers from the Blood Rain Tower!"

"This is a personal vendetta between him and me. Whoever dares to interfere is an enemy of my Blood Rain Tower!"

Though he appeared calm and collected, these words unleashed a murderous intent, reaching an extreme.

For a moment.

The entire Celestial Martial Plaza plunged into a deathly silence.

"Mu Qianshan, the top expert of Blood Rain Tower, has actually come out?"

"Didn't you know? It's been said that after Third Floor Master Lei Qianjue's death, territories that were previously subdued by the Blood Rain Tower have started rebelling. To suppress these forces, even the Second Floor Master fell. How could Mu Qianshan swallow this?"

"Now Ye Qingchen is doomed. Rumor has it that Mu Qianshan is ruthless; the Blood Rain Tower's fearsome reputation was built by him climbing over mountains of corpses and seas of blood!"

Some shook their heads and sighed, others took pleasure in the misfortune.

Those who shook their heads wondered how Ye Qingchen ended up provoking Blood Rain Tower, especially drawing out such a big figure.

Those taking pleasure in the misfortune naturally felt Ye Qingchen might become the shortest-lived champion in the history of the Qingzhou Sword Fighting Conference. With Mu Qianshan's strength, Ye Qingchen seems to have no escape.

However.

There were also some who turned their gaze toward the True Martial Sect, unsure of how the host sect would handle the situation.

The True Martial Sect Leader looked deeply at Mu Qianshan. Though his sect did not fear Blood Rain Tower, since they were in the open while the assassins of Blood Rain Tower were in the shadows, it would be unwise if their disciples were targeted.

Moreover.

The True Martial Sect's Black Tortoise Pavilion's secrets must not be leaked.

Publicly and privately, he had reasons not to intervene.

"Since it's a personal vendetta, we True Martial Sect shall not intervene..." The True Martial Sect Leader sat down, appearing disengaged.

Seeing that even the True Martial Sect Leader refrained from intervening, elders from other sects also decided not to get involved after weighing the pros and cons.

After all.

Ye Qingchen was unrelated to them, and they certainly wouldn't offend Blood Rain Tower for him.

"Who dares to touch Ye Qingchen?"

Qin Wentian suddenly stepped forward, his expression calm.

Though.

The various sects had expressed their neutrality, he couldn't stand by and do nothing.

However.

Mu Qianshan merely waved his hand.

Whoosh!

A crowd of figures surged. Over a thousand assassins emerged from hiding, holding powerful bows, all pointing at Qin Wentian, Ye Qing, Hong Man, Kong Shun, and others.

Seeing this scene, a trace of anger appeared in Qin Wentian's eyes. As he was about to speak, Ye Qingchen, on the stage, calmly said, "Elder Qin, there's no need for you to intervene in this; I can handle it myself!"

Qin Wentian froze, looked at Ye Qingchen on stage, then reluctantly stepped back.

Ye Qingchen nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Mu Qianshan and said calmly, "So, you want to kill me?"

"Indeed! You killed so many from my Blood Rain Tower, you must pay with your life!" Mu Qianshan gazed at Ye Qingchen coldly, his calm demeanor only intensifying his murderous intent.

So young, and already the champion of the Sword Fighting Conference. If allowed to keep growing, what more could he become?

"I killed your assassins, and I exterminated Lei Qianjue. But hasn't your Blood Rain Tower ever killed anyone?" Ye Qingchen retorted, unyielding. "Shouldn't you also be accountable?"

The Blood Rain Tower's fearsome reputation is built on countless bones.

Every assassin is tainted with the blood of many. The clans extinguished by them are innumerable. If they were to be held accountable, the entire Blood Rain Tower might not be enough.

"Who dares?"

Mu Qianshan said arrogantly.

It has always been their Blood Rain Tower killing others; never has anyone dared to kill them.

"I dare!"

Ye Qingchen replied calmly.

"What did you say?"

Mu Qianshan's gaze darkened, his eyes flashing with coldness, and his murderous intent surged.

Ignoring Mu Qianshan's overwhelming, surging murderous intent, Ye Qingchen calmly said, "Your Blood Rain Tower commits all sorts of evil, and I naturally should eradicate it. Since you've come today, I'll eliminate you along with it!"

"Good, good, good!"

Mu Qianshan paused, then his expression twisted to the extreme. "I've never seen such an audacious person as you. I'll see what ability you have to eliminate me!"

Boom!

As he spoke.

A vast and surging aura erupted from Mu Qianshan, doubling the pressure on everyone present.

This was clearly the cultivation level of the Profound Pill Realm's Second Heaven.

This was the aura of an unblemished Profound Pill Realm expert.

Watching Qin Wentian, Ye Qing, Kong Shun, and others being surrounded by many assassins, watching the True Martial Sect Leader and numerous high-ranking members of various sects remain aloof, a cold smile appeared at the corner of Ye Qingchen's mouth.

He understood.

This battle was unavoidable!

Of course, he wouldn't avoid it either!

Ye Qingchen's body trembled, and chains appeared on his hands and feet. These chains, composed of countless runes, gleamed golden, seeming mystical.

"What is this?"

Mu Qianshan was momentarily stunned.

And at this moment.

The eyes of everyone in the audience were fixed on the space between Ye Qingchen's hands and feet.

"Profound Celestial Lock!"

"Unseal!"

Buzz~

The entire void trembled suddenly.

Under everyone's shocked gaze.

Ye Qingchen's body, like a suppressed volcano, burst through its constraints, releasing an aura even more exuberant and terrifying than before, in a startling manner.

It must be known.

The Profound Celestial Lock serves to suppress True Qi.

To maintain a state free from the Profound Celestial Lock's restraints, Ye Qingchen constantly utilized his full strength. At this moment of unsealing the lock, his body's originally rapidly circulating energy surged wildly like a great river.

In this moment, he forcefully advanced to the Spiritual Sea Ninth Heaven!

Furthermore.

Another star formed within, totaling five!

And Ye Qingchen.

Suddenly lifted his head, the light in his eyes nearly materializing, his voice resonating through the entire void at this moment:

"If you wish for battle, then battle it shall be!"
