"Who?"

This sudden development left everyone stunned as they quickly looked forward.

They saw.

In the darkness, a silhouette gradually came into focus.

It was a young man in a robe, standing with his hands behind his back, his eyes as deep as dark springs. It gave off an unnerving feeling as if standing at the edge of an abyss!

"Who are you?"

Everyone looked over with suspicious eyes.

Song the Third's cultivation, although not at the peak in the Song Family, was still at the Profound Pill Second Heaven. Yet now, without even a chance to react, he was beheaded by a single sword!

This kind of powerful figure suddenly appearing made everyone hesitant to act rashly.

"The reason you've come to this Nine Dragon Mountain is to hunt me down, isn't it? Now that I'm here, why pretend not to recognize me?"

Ye Qingchen said lightly with his hands behind his back.

"Ye Qingchen!"

The head of the Song Family couldn't help but exclaim in shock.

At the same time.

The others were equally horrified, all looking at Ye Qingchen in fear.

"Aren't you supposed to be seriously injured?"

The head of the Song Family's face changed dramatically, his eyes filled with endless terror. He was well aware of Ye Qingchen's terrifying power; although Ye Qingchen was only at the Profound Pill Second Heaven, his strength vastly surpassed that norm.

Not only did he cripple Spirit Coffin Sect's top ten masters, but even Xu Shanqiao died at his hands. If not for the news that Ye Qingchen was injured by a strike from Yuan Shisan and fled, he wouldn't have dared to chase him.

Yet now.

Ye Qingchen's aura was formidable, his eyes sparkling, showing no sign of injury!

"Indeed, Yuan Shisan's strength is quite formidable, and I was injured then, but I've fully recovered. Are you disappointed?"

Ye Qingchen said with a faint smile.

The head of the Song Family shuddered at these words.

Do not be deceived by this harmless-looking youth; he dispatched Song the Third the moment he arrived, so how could he be easy to deal with? Moreover, they came to Nine Dragon Mountain specifically to hunt Ye Qingchen.

Thinking of this, he almost regretted himself to death. How could he have been tempted by Spirit Coffin Sect's rewards and got involved in this mess?

"Ye... Young Master Ye, we will leave right now! Can you let us go?"

The head of the Song Family trembled as he spoke.

"Aren't you here to hunt me down? Now that you're here, shouldn't you be prepared to be killed by me? Wanting to leave now, isn't it too late?" Ye Qingchen said with a cold laugh.

Boom!

As soon as these words came out, the head of the Song Family felt a chill spread through his heart, and even his legs began to tremble.

Instead, the other members of the Song Family, seeing this, felt blood rush to their heads, and they shouted directly:

"Ye Qingchen, you're already out of options, how dare you be so arrogant in front of us! The entire Nine Dragon Mountain is sealed off; if you know what's good for you, surrender immediately, and maybe we'll leave you a whole corpse!"

"Is that so?" Ye Qingchen responded with a cold smile, "Do you think after killing you, I will spare the others?"

The head of the Song Family's heart trembled violently.

Then.

He suddenly narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "We don't yet know who will win, so let me see your moves!"

"Everyone, together!"

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

Instantly.

The people of the Song Family, driven by fury, drew their weapons without hesitation, and in a flash, True Qi erupted, and martial techniques launched as they surrounded Ye Qingchen.

"Come on!"

"Sword arise!"

Ye Qingchen patted his waist.

Zheng!

A low sword hum suddenly resounded. Vigorous Sword Qi surged from the sword, and the closest head of the Song Family saw the word 'Netherworld' on the blade.

"This sword is called Netherworld..."

This thought had just surfaced in his mind when it disappeared completely.

Swish!

With just one stroke.

Dozens of heads flew, their eyes wide open with disbelief. They couldn't believe Ye Qingchen had slain them all with a single stroke.

Then.

Their heads and bodies crashed to the ground.

The people of the Song Family, wanting to kill Ye Qingchen, were slain by him with just one swing!

However.

Ye Qingchen didn't spare them another glance but looked towards the sky, where the once bright moonlight had quietly dimmed, as if a shadow had engulfed the entire Nine Dragon Mountain.

"A dark and windy night, truly a night for killing!"

He finished speaking.

His figure flickered, and he quietly vanished from the spot.

Although he had wiped out the Song Family and others, for Ye Qingchen, this was merely the beginning. Under the bounty for his assassination placed by the Spirit Coffin Sect, countless individuals and factions across the Tongxuan Continent had joined the hunt.

For Ye Qingchen,

all these people became his mortal enemies the moment they stepped foot into Nine Dragon Mountain, and the conflict would only end with death!

"Since you've come!"

"Don't think any of you will leave alive!"

Ye Qingchen looked up at the night sky, his figure transforming into a silver streak, rapidly traversing Nine Dragon Mountain. Simultaneously, he spread out his spiritual awareness.

Since the thirteen stars within him merged as one, his perception had increased to a terrifying extent, expanding from the original radius of a hundred feet to a thousand feet!

It could almost cover half a mountain top.

Within this range, every movement of the wind and grass was vividly clear in his mind, escaping none of his perception.

"Found them!"

At that moment.

On a mountain top.

Most of the high-ranking members of Thousand Cliff Mountain were gathered there.

Thousand Cliff Mountain!

Considered a significant assassin organization in the Tongxuan Continent, vastly superior to the Blood Rain Tower of the Cyan Continent. Upon learning of the Spirit Coffin Sect's bounty, they were the first to move and enter Nine Dragon Mountain.

"Second Leader, why did you gather us all here?"

A middle-aged man with a hooked nose, slightly dissatisfied, asked.

"I just received word that Ye Qingchen has appeared in Nine Dragon Mountain and has wiped out the Song Family!" said another elder with a withered face, speaking in a deep voice.

"What?"

Upon hearing this,

the members of Thousand Cliff Mountain were visibly shocked.

"Where did you get this information? Ye Qingchen took a strike from Yuan Shisan and fled into Nine Dragon Mountain, with no news since. How could he possibly show up now?"

The hooked-nose man scoffed.

He was the chief leader of Thousand Cliff Mountain, while the elder was the second leader, an elder in the mountain. Typically, he held himself aloof, meddling in the mountain's affairs. It's worth noting that he was extremely reluctant about hunting Ye Qingchen this time, attempting every possible obstruction.

Ultimately, it was he who overruled everyone and led the elite of Thousand Cliff Mountain to Nine Dragon Mountain.

"Indeed! Don't be fooled; everyone in Nine Dragon Mountain is here to hunt Ye Qingchen. But there are endless entanglements and grudges among them. Someone else might have acted, making you mistakenly think it was Ye Qingchen!"

The third leader on the side nodded repeatedly.

"Second Leader, you're really growing more timid with age! How would Ye Qingchen dare to show himself now? At this moment, he might be hiding like a turtle, afraid to show his face!"

The hooked-nose man laughed proudly, as everyone around nodded in agreement.

"Swoosh!"

Suddenly, a blue figure swept across the sky.

"Ye Qingchen!"

Seeing this figure, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill. A boundless fear surged through their hearts instantly, tightly gripping everyone's hearts.

At the same time,

a dazzling sword light silently emerged.

Swoosh!

In an instant,

the scene fell into deathly silence.

The hooked-nose man felt an overwhelming regret: "I shouldn't have ignored the second leader's words..."

Yet Ye Qingchen didn't linger in the slightest.

He darted away swiftly.

It wasn't just the Song Family, Thousand Cliff Mountain, but also the Vast Sea Sect, Spirit Coffin Sect, Profound Celestial Sect...

On this night,

Nine Dragon Mountain ran red with blood.

"It's over!"

After slaying the thirty-second wave of pursuers stationed in Nine Dragon Mountain, Ye Qingchen let out a long sigh.

Suddenly.

He looked up abruptly, gazing towards the largest main peak in Nine Dragon Mountain.

"No!"

"It's not over yet!"

"There's still the Slaughter Hall!"

From those he had killed earlier, he learned that the Slaughter Hall had split into two groups, one led by Yuan Shisan heading towards Abyssal Valley to intercept him, and the other stationed within Nine Dragon Mountain.

To break through Nine Dragon Mountain, he had to break through this final obstacle of the Slaughter Hall!

"Slaughter Hall, is it?"

"I, Ye Qingchen, am here. Let's see if you're prepared!"
