CHAPTER 693: CHAPTER 692: EARTHEN CHICKENS AND CLAY DOGS (1/5)

"Hurry up!"

Yang Chen grabbed Ye Xin and rushed up the stairs at lightning speed.

Their speed was incredible, and in the blink of an eye, they were halfway up the mountain.

The crowd looked at each other, somewhat unsure of what was happening.

Kunze was utterly dumbfounded.

An Outer Sect Disciple had kidnapped the Saintess?

This... absolutely cannot be allowed!

"Stop right there!" Kunze shouted angrily.

Yang Chen, already halfway up the mountain, sneered and shouted down, "Goodbye Shangqing Sect, I’ve decided to elope with your Saintess!"

Upon hearing this, Kunze was furious, his hair standing on end.

The Third Elder shouted, "Quick! Stop them! We absolutely cannot let him take the Saintess away!"

"Hurry!"

"Don’t let him go!"

"Stop him!"

Everyone quickly reacted and chased after them.

Kun Bai and Kun Ren exchanged glances, gritted their teeth, and shouted angrily, "Go! Capture that boy, I want him torn to pieces!"

Yang Chen’s actions caused their status within the sect to plummet, leaving behind a notorious reputation, which is absolutely unforgivable!

The two of them rushed out first, sprinting towards Yang Chen and Ye Xin.

Watching the Palace Master and several Elders leading a group of Inner Sect disciples in a massive pursuit, Kunze’s face grew dark, almost dripping with anger.

If he could control the Saintess and use her to revive the Sect, Kunze would become a legendary figure, as great as his ancestors.

But now, someone had taken the Saintess right in front of him, during her coronation ceremony!

This cannot be tolerated!

Beside him, the Grand Elder looked at Kunze’s dark face and said in a steady voice, "See, women are never reliable. To control a woman, you must win her heart, and if you cannot, then control her body. I believe controlling someone’s soul is the safest way, whether it be a man or a woman! So, I hope you will stop at nothing to capture her and forcibly control her soul to ensure success!"

Kunze replied solemnly, "I understand! I’ve given her a chance, but she knows no repentance, so I must use harsh means!"

"Very good!" The Grand Elder nodded slowly, looking at the massive crowd running towards the cliff.

Yang Chen and Ye Xin soon reached the edge of the cliff, heading towards the Outer Sect.

"Husband, are those words you said just now true?" Ye Xin was most concerned about Yang Chen’s confession.

"Of course!" Yang Chen glanced at Ye Xin and laughed, "That’s what I’ve felt this past month, haven’t you noticed I’ve lost weight?"

Ye Xin shook her head, "That’s not your true appearance, I can’t tell."’

Yang Chen smiled helplessly; now wasn’t the time to remove his disguise.

The outside Outer Sect disciples looked dumbfounded as Yang Chen dragged Ye Xin out.

Wasn’t there supposed to be a Saintess coronation ceremony? How did they end up running away?

Also, what they noticed most was why the goddess was holding Xuanliang’s hand?

What is going on?

Their speed was so fast, they dashed past in an instant.

At this time, a massive crowd emerged from the edge of the cliff.

Leading the pursuit were Kun Bai and Kun Ren.

"Xuanliang! Stop right there!"

"Thief, today I will kill you!"

The Outer Sect disciples were stunned by the scene.

What exactly was happening?

More Inner Sect disciples were chasing after them, their faces fierce and vicious, shouting.

"Let go of the goddess!"

"Stop right there!"

"I will kill you!"

"Don’t even think about escaping!"

Suddenly, within the Shangqing Sect, dust rose, and the shouting and stomping resounded like a battlefield.

After the Elders emerged from the cliff, they shouted, "All Sect disciples listen, capture Xuanliang and Ye Xin, Outer Sect disciples can be promoted to Inner Sect disciples, Inner Sect disciples can be titled Sect officials, and everyone involved in the pursuit will be rewarded!"

Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes turned red.

Outer Sect disciples promoted to Inner Sect means their cultivation environment would be vastly improved, and their Cultivation could grow rapidly.

As for Inner Sect disciples, being titled officials means gaining more influence within the Sect and naturally accessing more resources.

Thinking this, they chased like mad, hollering.

Reaching the back mountain, Kun Bai and Kun Ren trapped Yang Chen.

Yang Chen glanced at both of them and said to Ye Xin, "You go first, don’t worry about me!"

"No way! I’m staying to help you!" Ye Xin refused.

She definitely wouldn’t leave Yang Chen alone.

"Relax!" Yang Chen said seriously, "I can handle the two of them!"

"No! I will live and die with you, don’t think of ditching me!" Ye Xin said firmly.

If Yang Chen doesn’t leave, what’s the point of Ye Xin escaping alone?

Yang Chen felt Ye Xin’s determination and looked at her.

Ye Xin said coldly, "I’ll deal with Kun Ren, Kun Bai’s injuries haven’t healed, so you handle him!"

"No need! I’ll deal with Kun Ren! You take care of Kun Bai!" Yang Chen replied.

"No! I’ll handle Kun Ren! Don’t argue with me!" Ye Xin insisted.

Yang Chen said earnestly, "I said it before, I’ll protect my woman, you just deal with Kun Bai, and I’ll take Kun Ren!"

Kun Bai and Kun Ren watched Ye Xin and Yang Chen argue over who to fight and their faces darkened, almost dripping ink.

In their eyes, the pair were simply insulting them!

An Outer Sect disciple whom they could slap to death dared claim they would take them on, simply courting death!

However, Kun Bai had been defeated by Ye Xin before, and his injuries hadn’t healed yet, realizing he likely wasn’t Ye Xin’s match, he said, "I’ll handle that ignorant boy Xuanliang, Ye Xin is for you!"

"No problem!" Kun Ren snorted coldly, looking at Ye Xin.

He remembered the previous incident, and given Ye Xin’s rapid Cultivation progress, Kun Bai probably wasn’t her opponent.

Kun Bai had confidence in dealing with Ye Xin though, as she was just a girl who entered the Sect about a month ago, nowhere near his level!

Feeling the pursuing crowd behind them, afraid of losing credit, they said, "Attack!"

Immediately, Kun Bai charged at Yang Chen, and Kun Ren at Ye Xin.

Seeing this, they no longer needed to choose and faced their foes.

Yang Chen faced Kun Bai!

Originally atop Flame Palace, facing Kun Bai felt like encountering a mountain suffocating him, needing full effort and risking life for a fair challenge.

But now, in Yang Chen’s view, Kun Bai was like a paper tiger.

"Absence for three days, prepare to be impressed!" Yang Chen sneered, launching a palm strike!

Kun Bai sneered back, an Outer Sect disciple daring to clash with him?

Right away, Kun Bai exerted full force, launching his palm.

Bang!

As their palms collided, Kun Bai’s confident face suddenly showed terror.

"This... impossible!"
