"What is the connection between the Dragon Tail Ring and Dragon-Clutching Mountain? Is the ring left by my father meant to guide me to Dragon-Clutching Mountain, or is there a deeper meaning?"

After leaving the Imperial Tutor's Mansion, Ye Qingchen pondered to himself.

However.

The book's description of Dragon-Clutching Mountain is incredibly scarce.

It merely describes the dangers within.

Even strong individuals in the Spiritual Sea Realm entering there often do not return, which shows its peril.

"Could it be that my father once went to Dragon-Clutching Mountain? But why would he go there?"

"And this ring, as Mr. Zhou said, besides marking a location, could it also be a key to open something?"

"Why was it hidden in a secret compartment, yet able to connect with me?"

Ye Qingchen felt.

After his trip to the Imperial Tutor's Mansion, his doubts not only did not lessen but increased.

However.

This time, he also made significant gains.

He realized the 'Breeze Sword Intent'!

"I never expected to comprehend a second Sword Intent!"

"The comprehension of Breeze Sword Intent allows my swordsmanship to have more variations!"

"If the same type of Sword Intent is comprehended more and more, it will reach the third-layer Sword Intent, which means Sword Momentum!"

Ye Qingchen understood in his heart.

This knowledge was obtained from the Emperor's Tutor's Library.

Whether the 'Gale Sword Intent', 'Breeze Sword Intent' he realized, or the unknown 'Tempest Sword Intent', 'Storm Sword Intent', 'Hurricane Sword Intent'…

All belong to the 'Wind' Sword Intent category.

When more and more of this type of Wind Sword Intent is understood, like a puzzle, it gradually completes.

Finally.

When the puzzle of Wind Sword Intent is completed to a certain extent.

It can break through the current level to reach the third-layer Sword Intent!

Which is Sword Momentum!

"Even the second-layer Sword Intent is so powerful. What kind of power would be comprised of numerous second-layer Sword Intents forming Sword Momentum?"

Ye Qingchen was inevitably yearning.

No sword cultivator does not wish to reach a higher level!

Unknowingly.

He had already returned to his small courtyard.

However, as he stepped into the courtyard, his eyes suddenly contracted.

"What happened here?"

He saw.

The originally clean and tidy courtyard was now a mess for unknown reasons.

Wherever he looked, all the rockeries, trees, and bamboo forests had been destroyed, and the ground was full of pitted marks.

The surrounding aura was chaotic, indicating that a fierce battle had just taken place.

"What happened? Ye Qing? Jiang Churan? Hong Man!"

Ye Qingchen's heart sank, and he hurriedly shouted.

But there was no response.

Without hesitation, he immediately rushed into the courtyard, frantically searching, but did not see Ye Qing and Jiang Churan. He only found Hong Man unconscious in a corner.

Ye Qingchen hurried over, supported the unconscious Hong Man, and quickly injected star power into his body. Moments later, Hong Man coughed out a mouthful of dark blood before slowly waking up: "Ye Qingchen, you're back?"

"What happened to you? Who injured you? Where are Ye Qing and Jiang Churan?"

Ye Qingchen anxiously asked.

Hong Man's face was pale, seeming severely injured, needing a long time to rest between each word, "I don't know! After you left, not long later, a group of thugs broke in, saying they were looking for you. When they found you weren't here, they started smashing everything, Jiang Churan and I couldn't stop them..."

"What happened next?" Ye Qingchen clenched his fists.

He had already vaguely guessed the identity of the opponents.

"Then they kidnapped Jiang Churan and Ye Qing! They asked me to tell you that if you return, you should go to Celestial Fragrance Tower to meet Zhao Tianyu!"

Hong Man took a breath and continued.

Bang!

As the words fell.

Ye Qingchen's face suddenly turned extremely grim.

It was Zhao Tianyu after all.

He never expected that this group couldn't find him and instead started with Hong Man, even kidnapping Jiang Churan and Ye Qing to force him to Celestial Fragrance Tower!

"Ye Qingchen, who is that Zhao Tianyu?" Hong Man worriedly asked, "Why would he call you over for no reason?"

"I don't know either!"

Ye Qingchen shook his head, then recounted the events of the morning encounter.

He spoke while searching Hong Man's body.

The more he searched, the darker his expression became.

Although Hong Man's life was not in danger, his injuries were severe. Several ribs were broken, and both his arms and leg bones had fractures. Even his internal organs suffered some damage.

Clearly.

The opponents never intended to show any mercy.

"Had their attacks been any harsher, it would surely be fatal or crippling!" Ye Qingchen's eyes flashed with anger, "Such ruthless methods! When did the Shifang Sword Sect produce such a group of ruthless people?"

He had long harbored doubts.

The two youths who blocked him earlier were both at the Spiritual Sea Fifth Heaven, even stronger than Lei Qianjue.

Just.

At that time, he was eager to find the Imperial Tutor and did not think too much.

"They could be the disciples of the previous generation." Hong Man rested for a moment, his strength recovering but his face still pale, "Those who joined the sect three years before us!"

Ye Qingchen nodded.

If they were previous-generation disciples, it made sense.

No wonder the two youths this morning had such high cultivation. It turns out they had joined the sect three years ago, which is why he had never heard of them.

Hong Man continued, "Ye Qingchen, they target you repeatedly, and this time inviting you to Celestial Fragrance Tower is probably a Hongmen Banquet."

"A Hongmen Banquet?"

Ye Qingchen's eyes flashed with a cold gleam.

"You rest for a while, I'll be back soon!"

Ye Qingchen suddenly stood up and walked straight out.

"Ye Qingchen, you can't! Those people have practiced three more years than us. To target you, they must have invited many experts! Moreover, there's Zhao Tianyu, who is no ordinary figure! You absolutely must not go!"

Hong Man quickly advised against it.

These people meticulously lured Ye Qingchen to Celestial Fragrance Tower, undoubtedly having set a Heaven and Earth Net.

Zhao Tianyu, who could easily command so many disciples, must be an extraordinary figure in the previous generation.

If.

Ye Qingchen insists on going, it would undoubtedly be a dangerous venture!

"So what?"

Ye Qingchen left with just one sentence and walked away decisively.

These people injured Hong Man, kidnapped Jiang Churan and Ye Qing, all to force him to appear?

Even if they are last-generation disciples, so what?

If you target me.

I will not easily forgive you!

I will make you regret what you have done!
