Boom! Boom! Boom!

As a flash of light flickered, when Ye Qingchen opened his eyes again, he found that he, along with nine other people, had arrived in a new realm.

"Is this the Central Island?"

For a moment.

Everyone impatiently looked around.

Suddenly, they saw.

This was an immense island, hundreds of times larger than the peripheral islands, with a towering mountain at its center, majestic and grand.

What shocked everyone even more was.

Atop the mountain.

They could see a faint golden light shimmering, like a lotus slowly blooming.

Not only was it enchanting, but it also exuded an unparalleled nobility.

If they hadn't entered Linghua Mansion, they might have thought it was a treasure left by the Spiritual Splendor Celestial Saint. But now they understood that it was the Mo Luo Celestial Saint's means of deceiving them.

"Young Master Ye, is the Mo Luo Celestial Saint here?" Elder Xu asked in a low voice.

"If I'm not mistaken, he should be on that mountain on the Central Island…" Ye Qingchen squinted his eyes. He could feel a significantly malevolent aura at the mountain's peak, an aura a hundred times stronger than when the Jiao Demon King was at Netherworld Mountain.

To others, this sky was clear and bright, with the golden lotus blooming. But in Ye Qingchen's eyes, it was like a Nine Nether Abyss swirling with black mist, constantly spewing black qi.

"What about the others who entered the island?"

Elder Xu asked again.

"Perhaps they've been transported to other locations on the island…" Ye Qingchen pondered for a moment and shook his head.

The entire secret realm was under the control of the Mo Luo Celestial Saint, and no one knew what would happen next.

His hope now was that everything could still be on time!

Boom!

As soon as he finished speaking.

In another burst of light, people from another peripheral island were teleported over. As soon as they saw the distant mountain, they immediately shouted in ecstasy:

"What a large Golden Lotus!"

"Indeed, what surging spiritual qi, the spiritual qi here is even more abundant than the peripheral islands, at least dozens of times more dense!"

"Surely, the spiritual treasures here must be more plentiful than on the peripheral islands!"

Like Ye Qingchen and his group, they were all shocked by the vastness of the Central Island, their eyes feverishly scanning their surroundings. It wasn't until a moment later that they came to their senses and started to gaze warily at Ye Qingchen's team.

When they discovered Ye Qingchen, a hint of suspicion appeared in their eyes.

After all, among a group of experts at the Profound Pill Eighth and Ninth Heaven, Ye Qingchen, merely at the Fifth Heaven, was naturally very conspicuous.

"Huh, how is this guy still alive?"

"Someone at the Profound Pill Fifth Heaven managed to survive the slaughter on the peripheral islands and enter this place? What a joke!"

"Maybe he found a place to hide as soon as he entered the peripheral island!"

Sharp, blade-like gazes swept over Ye Qingchen, and some even unceremoniously scolded him.

It's known.

That the slaughter on the peripheral islands they experienced was brutal, and only ten of them were left standing.

But now.

That someone like Ye Qingchen could survive such slaughter naturally left them somewhat astonished.

However.

After a brief shock, their gaze toward Ye Qingchen turned hostile.

Although they didn't know where the people from the other thirty-some peripheral islands were transported to, there must be many treasures on this Central Island. If they could eliminate a few competitors, it would naturally reduce the contest significantly.

"Young Master Ye…"

Elder Xu called quietly.

Clearly.

They had already sensed the strong hostility from the people who arrived on the Central Island after them.

"Ignore them!" Ye Qingchen shook his head and said calmly, "Our target is the Mo Luo Celestial Saint, there's no need to waste time on these irrelevant people!"

Everyone nodded upon hearing this.

The Mo Luo Celestial Saint had yet to awaken.

This was the best opportunity for them to make a move.

However, just as Ye Qingchen and his group were about to continue their journey, a young man with long hair stepped forward, blocking their path and approaching Ye Qingchen:

"Heh heh, what luck. I didn't expect to run into you here… I've been looking for you since I entered the peripheral island!"

"I don't know how you survived, but now that you've met me, you're not so lucky. I don't know what the rules are on this Central Island, but there's no need for trash like you at the Profound Pill Fifth Heaven to continue!"

The young man with long hair intended to attack Ye Qingchen as soon as he saw him!

"Who are you?"

Ye Qingchen slowly withdrew his gaze from the mountain top and looked at the young man with long hair.

"Haha, you don't even know me!" The young man with long hair laughed heartily, "I am Liu Luocheng!"

"Liu Luocheng?" Elder Xu's face changed, and he quickly whispered to the confused Ye Qingchen, "He's a strong warrior from Taixu Continent, ranked 46th on the Silver Battle Ranking… It's said he also took the Spirit Coffin Sect's Slaughter Hall bounty specifically to deal with you!"

"Now you know who I am, right?" Liu Luocheng said proudly, "Ye Qingchen, will you do it yourself, or shall I do it for you?"

Liu Luocheng's gaze was condescending.

He didn't take Ye Qingchen seriously at all.

To him, Ye Qingchen was just a nobody at the Profound Pill Fifth Heaven, an ant he could crush with one hand. In this situation, Ye Qingchen had no choice but to refuse.

Being able to explore the Central Island while also reaping three Earth Grade Top cultivation techniques, why not?

As for the others, they all looked on with mocking smiles.

"These people actually let a kid at the Profound Pill Fifth Heaven survive until now?" An old man with a hooked nose and sinister eyes sneered.

"It seems the strength of the people allocated to their island isn't very strong!" Another Confucian scholar glanced over each member of Ye Qingchen's group, his eyes showing a hint of disdain.

Although.

In others' eyes, Ye Qingchen's team seemed quite formidable.

But in their eyes, it was still somewhat weak.

After all, neither Elder Xu, the axe-wielding burly man, nor the others were considered top-tier in Black Abyss City.

And they?

They were characters who survived after a fierce battle on the peripheral islands, so naturally, they wouldn't show any mercy if Ye Qingchen's team wasn't as strong as they appeared.

If they didn't look very strong.

They wouldn't hesitate to make a move and wipe them out completely.

However.

In everyone's view, Ye Qingchen would certainly be trembling with fear and might even turn around and flee. Yet what they didn't expect was that Ye Qingchen took a deep look at Liu Luocheng, then shook his head, "Get lost, or I'll kill you!"
