Who?

At this moment, everyone's gaze turned forward.

They saw an elder wearing a blood robe, leading a group of people, approaching majestically. His presence was imposing, and wherever he passed, the crowd naturally parted.

"Ye Qingchen, do you still remember the Hong Family in Cyan Cloud City?" The Blood Robe Elder looked at Ye Qingchen and laughed heartily, "This day, I have been waiting for a long time!"

This Blood Robe Elder was none other than Hong Qitian!

It turns out.

He had been at the plaza all along, lying in wait until Ye Qingchen became the Newcomer King, before making his move!

"Someone from the Hong Family?"

Ye Qingchen's pupils contracted.

"Haha, Ye Qingchen... you never expected this scene, did you!" Seeing the icy expressions of the many elders, Hong Qitian laughed loudly, "I haven't taken action all this time, just waiting for today! I never imagined you would actually become the Newcomer King!"

"Unfortunately, I will let you taste the feeling of falling from Heaven to Hell! After I kill you, I'll deal with your sister, and let the blood of you siblings appease the spirit of my brother in the heavens!"

"You're courting death!"

Ye Qingchen's head exploded, feeling a surge of insane killing intent rushing to his heart.

At this moment.

He had only one thought.

And that was to kill!

Zheng!

Accompanied by a roar, a crisp sword hum resounded throughout the area.

They saw.

This sword, like lightning, tore through the void.

Carrying a monstrous killing intent, it directly targeted the Blood Robe Elder in a terrifying manner!

"Hmph!"

The Blood Robe Elder snorted coldly, revealing his aura, and at the same time, he waved his hand. A vast power surged from his palm, creating a terrifying air wave in the void, sweeping straight towards Ye Qingchen.

"Dong!"

A dull thud sounded.

Ye Qingchen groaned, his longsword shattered into countless pieces. Moreover, that terrifying power struck heavily on Ye Qingchen, knocking him several feet away, making him spit a mouthful of blood.

"Spiritual Sea Realm!"

"This elder is a Spiritual Sea Realm expert!"

"Why is there a Spiritual Sea Realm expert here?"

This sudden scene left everyone stunned.

"Hong Qitian!" The elder of the Xingluo Sect said with a displeased expression, "No matter what grievance you have with Ye Qingchen, I do not allow you to harm him. I give you three breaths to kneel and apologize to Ye Qingchen!"

"Hong Qitian, by attacking the Newcomer King in front of everyone, do you disregard our Celestial Extreme Sect?" A Celestial Extreme Sect elder slammed the table, shouting loudly.

At that moment.

Several other elders also stood up and shouted.

Either forcing Hong Qitian to release him, or demanding an apology from him.

After all, Ye Qingchen was the Newcomer King. By doing so, they naturally wanted to win Ye Qingchen over to join their sect. Although Hong Qitian's Hong Family was the number one family in White Cloud City, with their sect's capabilities, protecting one person would be a simple task.

Hong Qitian stood there, full of mockery, showing no intention of letting go, but instead turned to the crowd and said loudly, "Elder Wu, it's your turn!"

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd.

They saw another elder with white hair and beard stride forward.

"Wu Shanhe, why have you come?" Elder Xie frowned; he was just considering whether to save Ye Qingchen and have him join the Celestial Essence Sword Sect.

At this point, others also recognized that this elder was Wu Shanhe of the Celestial Essence Sword Sect!

"Is it you?"

Ye Qingchen's gaze grew heavy.

He also recognized the other!

This Wu Shanhe was the master of Ye Wushuang and Mo Chen. Because Ye Qingchen had killed Ye Wushuang and Mo Chen before, Wu Shanhe had almost taken action against him, but was stopped by Zhou Yuntian.

Unexpectedly, he appeared here today!

"Yes, it's indeed me! I didn't expect that after we separated in Cyan Cloud City, we would meet again!" Wu Shanhe laughed heartily, "Though you escaped a calamity in Cyan Cloud City, let's see how you'll escape today!"

After speaking, Wu Shanhe cupped his hands towards Elder Xie and the other elders on the high platform, saying loudly, "Elder Xie, esteemed elders! Please grant me a favor, this one has a blood feud with me for killing my two disciples! I only want him to pay blood for blood! I will have a substantial reward in the future!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's brows furrowed slightly.

If it were only Hong Qitian, it would be one thing. Adding Wu Shanhe into the mix required consideration of its worth.

Elder Xie of the Celestial Essence Sword Sect smiled faintly, "In that case, I will grant Elder Wu a favor; our Celestial Essence Sword Sect does not recognize this Newcomer King!"

"In that case, our Celestial Extreme Sect does not recognize..."

"Neither does our Xingluo Sect!"

In an instant.

The eight major sects all spoke.

Wu Shanhe looked down, directly at Ye Qingchen, his eyes filled with a sense of delight. You once humiliated me in Cyan Cloud City, and now it's time for you to pay the price! Now that you are no longer the Newcomer King, let's see who will come to save you!

"How could this be?"

Jiang Churan covered her mouth.

Hong Man also widened his eyes.

No one expected this outcome.

A Newcomer King, actually unrecognized?

Lei Qianjue shook his head secretly, feeling it utterly absurd. A dignified Newcomer King, actually rejected by the eight major sects? No matter how strong your strength is, so what? Today, you are without a doubt, bound to die!

"Ye Qingchen, now it's your turn!" Hong Qitian looked on quietly at this scene, unable to contain himself, and laughed loudly, "Next, it's time for us to settle our grievances!"

Just as everyone believed that this matter was over and that Ye Qingchen was bound to die.

"Ye Qingchen, if you are willing to join our sect, I can protect you!"

At this moment.

A voice suddenly came from the crowd, and everyone hastily looked towards the source, seeing a disheveled elder suddenly step out from the crowd. He was dressed carelessly, but a colossal aura surrounded him, even stronger than those of the elders of the eight major sects.

Bang!

The elder's appearance was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, leaving the surroundings in silence!

What is happening?

At this moment, everyone was left stunned.

Wasn't Celestial Peak Country supposed to have only eight major sects?

When did a ninth one appear?

The elders of the eight major sects suddenly thought of something, their expressions changing.

"Join your sect?" Ye Qingchen furrowed his brows.

"That's right!" The elder said arrogantly.

"I accept!"

The elder looked directly at Ye Qingchen, "Aren't you curious about what sect I belong to?"

"No matter what sect you belong to, I will never fail you in this life!" Ye Qingchen gritted his teeth and said.

"Old man, no matter who you are, I advise you not to interfere in this matter!" Hong Qitian's expression was as dark as water, being so close to revenge, how could he allow anyone to ruin it?

The mysterious elder heard this and his eyes sharpened.

But then, an arm directly stopped him.

Under the puzzled gaze of the mysterious elder, and the horrified eyes of the crowd, Ye Qingchen slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with surging killing intent as he gazed toward Hong Qitian:

"I never thought that the Hong Family would have any remnants left!"

"In that case, today let me sever the last bloodline of your Hong family!"
