Ci Flame is dead!

Fallen under a single sword strike from Ye Qingchen.

In an instant.

The entire Yun Ding City was lit with lanterns, overflowing with joy.

Since Ci Flame had taken over Yun Ding City, more than seventy Celestial Saints had been hung outside the city walls. Not only Yun Ding City but the entire Tongxuan Continent lived in fear under the shadow of this one of the four guardians of the Thunder Department of the Celestial God Sect.

Countless people had once despaired.

They believed that the Eastern Domain would once again experience dark days, akin to four hundred years ago when Mo Luo Celestial Saint swept across the Eastern Domain, with people being slaughtered like pigs, dogs, cows, and sheep.

But now.

They received the best possible outcome when Ye Qingchen, atop Yun Ding City, audaciously slew Ci Flame in front of numerous powerhouses, rescuing Yun Ding City from peril.

Of course, what needs to be accounted for must still be accounted for.

Yun Ding City promptly purged the forces that had aligned with the Celestial God Sect, and it took a full three days to complete! For a time, heads rolled, and blood flowed like rivers. Many sects that had ties with the Celestial God Sect were also nervously awaiting their fate.

At this moment.

Within the grand hall of Yun Ding City, many Celestial Saints gathered in one place.

Ye Qingchen sat at the head position. Although the hall was not devoid of seasoned Celestial Saints with established fame, no one found it inappropriate; rather, it felt perfectly natural.

Once everyone was seated, Yun Xuan stood up and said:

"Young Master Ye, Ci Flame has been eliminated, but the chief culprit remains unpunished. There is still a Thunder Department Master from the Celestial God Sect residing in the Taixu Continent, and it is said that they have already found the location of the treasure recorded by Mo Luo Celestial Saint four hundred years ago and have gone to the Ten Thousand Great Mountains!"

After re-establishing control over Yun Ding City, everyone mobilized their forces to gather all information regarding the Celestial God Sect.

However, Lei Ming only knew the general area, not the specific location.

Ye Qingchen nodded slightly.

He had long been aware of the Celestial God Sect's intent: "A treasure that prompts the Celestial God Sect to go through so much trouble to find is certainly not ordinary. If they were to obtain it, their strength would greatly increase, and the Eastern Domain might yet again descend into fierce battles!"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but nod repeatedly.

They had also sought through ancient records, hoping to uncover information about the treasure, but unfortunately, the descriptions were vague due to the passage of time.

But there's no denying that this treasure, treasured by Mo Luo Celestial Saint four hundred years ago and pursued by the Celestial God Sect's Thunder Department today, must be extraordinary.

If the Celestial God Sect obtains it, wouldn't it be like adding wings to a tiger?

"Taotian Palace indeed had records of this treasure!" Qin Wentian said gravely, "This treasure does not belong to our Barbaric Continent; it originates from the Upper Realm!"

"That day, a divine fire descended from the heavens, meteors fell, and the void blazed. Although it was night, it was as bright as day, seen by all of the Eastern Domain. It's said one of our Taotian Palace's elders intervened in the matter, but what this treasure is, who eventually obtained it, and how it ended up in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains remain unknown to me!"

Qin Wentian's face was full of regret.

Had Taotian Palace not been destroyed, detailed records regarding this matter might have been found. But most of the documents were lost in that battle, and too many secrets were lost to time.

Nevertheless, the information Qin Wentian shared was enough to astonish everyone.

"It's not something from our Barbaric Continent? It actually comes from the Upper Realm?"

"No wonder! No wonder Mo Luo Celestial Saint couldn't forget it; no wonder the Celestial God Sect is willing to come across the sea for it!"

"Heavenly fires descended, meteors fell, illuminating the entire Eastern Domain? This treasure likely surpasses the Celestial Tier..."

In an instant, everyone exclaimed in shock, clearly awestruck.

Only Ye Qingchen frowned silently.

Clearly.

The Celestial God Sect's obsession with this treasure might mean they already know its origin.

"By the way, what should we do with those forces that have aligned with the Celestial God Sect?" someone asked at this point.

Referring to those awaiting their fate.

"Those deeply involved with the Celestial God Sect, willingly becoming their dogs, shall all be eradicated, leaving none. As for those less involved, only the chief wrongdoers shall be executed, sparing others!"

Ye Qingchen said coolly.

Everyone hearing this thought it was a sound approach.

For a moment, they showered Ye Qingchen with praise.

"Alright, matters here are settled. I need to make a trip to the Ten Thousand Great Mountains!" Ye Qingchen announced, "Though the Celestial God Sect might not yet know where the treasure is, time waits for no one, lest delays breed disaster!"

At this point, Yun Xuan suddenly remembered something, slapped his forehead, and said:

"Young Master Ye, many veteran Celestial Saints have also been stirred. They are heading to the Ten Thousand Great Mountains. While your power is formidable, since Ci Flame dared to come across the sea, his divine techniques might rival Mo Luo Celestial Saint's of the past! If you were to join forces with those veteran Celestial Saints, perhaps you could intercept him!"

"Veteran Celestial Saints?" Ye Qingchen raised his eyebrows, puzzled.

Yun Xuan hurriedly explained.

Only then did Ye Qingchen understand.

You must know that Celestial Saints are at the very top of the pyramid on the Barbaric Continent, rarely showing themselves in everyday affairs. Most live reclusively, focusing on their cultivation, indifferent to worldly matters.

This is why when Ye Qingchen previously razed the Spirit Coffin Sect, only Ling Xiaozi, the Supreme Elder of the Spirit Coffin Sect, appeared, while other Celestial Saints merely observed.

For them, though Ye Qingchen caused a stir in the Tongxuan Continent, he was merely a newcomer, dealing with personal grievances with the Spirit Coffin Sect, without broader implications.

But this time is different. With the Celestial God Sect coming from across the sea, stirring scenes akin to the bloodshed of Mo Luo Celestial Saint four hundred years ago, extending across the entire Eastern Domain, those veteran Celestial Saints couldn't sit idly by and naturally had to come forth.

"These Celestial Saints were initially indifferent to worldly affairs, some even in closed-door cultivation! The Celestial God Sect's actions this time were so impactful, it stirred the veteran Celestial Saints, prompting them to unite against the Celestial God Sect!"

Yun Xuan explained urgently.

"I see!" Ye Qingchen nodded at these words.

He held no particular sentiment towards the veteran Celestial Saints, but with them standing against the Celestial God Sect, he wouldn't have to fight alone, "In that case, there's no time to lose!"

Ye Qingchen's eyes lowered slightly.

Killing Ci Flame alone was not his primary goal.

The Celestial God Sect owed blood debts in the Eastern Domain, which could only be repaid in blood!

Thinking of this.

His eyes gleamed with an icy light!

On this day, Ye Qingchen headed to the Ten Thousand Great Mountains.

That day, the Tongxuan Continent surged with pride!
