CHAPTER 629: CHAPTER 629: YANG SHEN AND SHEN XING

Ye Tianjun’s figure became distorted with fury upon seeing a familiar silhouette on the screen before him.

His gaze fell on that person, and his face suddenly twisted in rage, his eyes flashing blood-red as if he wished he could tear Ling Chen apart and devour him alive!

"Ling Chen!"

Ye Tianjun’s roaring voice resonated, causing the entire Celestial Hall to tremble.

"It’s me!"

Ling Chen replied with a slight smile: "Ye Tianjun, no need to shout, my ears aren’t deaf yet."

"How dare you, traitor! You dared to kill my son, I will make sure you beg for life and death when I catch you!"

Ye Tianjun coldly declared.

"I killed your son, what can you do to me?"

Ling Chen smirked.

It was Ye Fentian who wanted to kill him in the first place; he was merely defending himself.

Moreover, Ye Tianjun and his son had never ceased their attempts to kill him.

"I will tear you apart!"

Ye Tianjun raged, his figure suddenly enlarged as if he was about to break through the screen.

"Want to kill me? Let’s see if you have the capabilities!"

Ling Chen’s expression remained fearless.

"Ah!"

Ye Tianjun vented for a long while before calming down.

Seeing the murderer of his son, how could he maintain his composure?

"Liu Xiao, hand this traitor over to me, I will agree to anything you want except for that one condition!"

Ye Tianjun said coldly.

Liu Xiao shook his head and sighed, "Ye Tianjun, it seems that in your heart, your power is ultimately more important than your son. Sadly, I think you do not deserve to be the master of the Eastern Domain!"

Then, his tone shifted, and he rebuked sharply: "Ye Tianjun, think about it, how many talents have emerged from the East Qing Province under your rule over these years? Even though these talents have entered your Burning Flame Sect, has there been a single one who reached the World Realm?"

"Your Burning Flame Sect occupies three-fifths of the resources in East Qing Province, yet you can’t even nurture a single talented emperor. I feel ashamed for you!"

"Over the years, you have been jealous of the capable, and even the number of young talents participating in the selection has decreased. If you continue to rule the Eastern Domain, I fear that in a few decades, my Eastern Domain will be completely reduced to wasteland!"

"You still have the audacity to consider yourself the master of the Eastern Domain. If it were me, I would have stepped down and let someone more capable take over long ago!"

Hearing this, Ye Tianjun’s expression darkened.

"Humph!"

Ye Tianjun snorted coldly, "Liu Xiao, stop acting like a big shot here! Even if you become the master of the Eastern Domain, you might not be much better than me! And you dare criticize me, isn’t your goal also to become the master of the Eastern Domain?"

"I don’t want to waste words with you, I’ll ask you just one thing, will you hand over Ling Chen, this thief, or not?"

Liu Xiao sneered: "If you want Ling Chen, see if you have the capability!"

"Good, very good, Liu Xiao!"

A fierce killing intent erupted in Ye Tianjun’s eyes, as he coldly declared: "In three days, I will flatten your Celestial Pavilion!"

"Hehe!"

Liu Xiao retorted strongly: "I’ll be waiting!"

Watching Ye Tianjun’s figure vanish from the screen, Liu Xiao turned to Ling Chen and said, "Follow me!"

"Yes."

Ling Chen agreed and followed behind.

Soon, the two arrived at the front square of the mountain gate.

At this moment, almost all disciples of the Celestial Pavilion had gathered there.

Liu Yu, Elder Xu, and other elders and stewards were present as well.

"Pavilion Master!"

Everyone hurriedly saluted.

"Hmm."

Liu Xiao nodded.

It was his command that had gathered everyone here.

A few days ago, he had issued an order to recall all disciples who were out.

Thus, the majority of the disciples had returned.

Liu Xiao soared into the sky and stood suspended, facing the crowd below, he loudly declared: "I announce two things. First, the Burning Flame Sect will soon attack our Celestial Pavilion!"

"What?!"

A wave of outcry rose from the square.

The Burning Flame Sect, after all, was the ruler of East Qing Province, and also the top sect.

"I have always said that there must be a battle between my Celestial Pavilion and the Burning Flame Sect! If anyone does not wish to participate, they may choose to leave the Celestial Pavilion. However, I advise those who leave to also leave East Qing Province."

Liu Xiao spoke indifferently.

Over the years, he had instilled this concept in everyone.

At the same time, he was preparing for this battle.

This time, he dared to use the Ling Chen incident as a fuse to trigger the war between the two sects.

Naturally, he was fully prepared.

"I swear to share life and death with the Star Pavilion!"

At this moment, a Core Disciple soared into the sky, his voice echoing through the heavens.

Then, a powerful aura swept out from this person.

This mere aura made all the disciples’ complexions change, feeling extremely oppressed!

"Emperor?"

"Brother Yang has actually ascended to Emperor level?"

"Such terrifying talent!"

...

Many Core Disciples exclaimed in shock.

This person was none other than the number one Core Disciple of Star Pavilion, Yang Shen.

Previously, they only knew that Yang Shen was powerful, never expecting him to ascend to the World Realm!

This level of strength made him the foremost among the young generation in East Qing Province!

Even the Burning Flame Sect had no disciples who had ascended to the World Realm!

Watching Yang Shen step forward, Liu Xiao gave a slight smile and continued, "Let me tell you all, our pavilion has been preparing for this battle for a long time. Even if the Burning Flame Sect attacks, I cannot guarantee victory for Star Pavilion, but we can ensure it will not be defeated!"

"I am also willing to defend against external enemies with Star Pavilion!"

At this time, an outer disciple of Star Pavilion rose into the air, his body filled with astonishing fighting spirit!

Everyone turned their gaze towards him.

Many Core Disciples looked puzzled.

This person’s cultivation was too low.

Liu Xiao said, "Guardian Shen, why are you still wearing the robe of an outer disciple?"

"Guardian?"

Almost all the disciples were stunned.

An outer disciple?

A sect Guardian?

However, this outer disciple, somewhat embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "Oh? Pavilion Master, I’m sorry, I got used to wearing the outer disciple’s robe. No worries, I’ll change it later."

"Alright."

Liu Xiao nodded and said, "Guardian Shen, you must remember your responsibilities, you are now a Guardian of the sect, you can no longer regard yourself merely as a disciple. At this time, we need you to protect our Star Pavilion more than ever!"

"Pavilion Master is right, I won’t do it again."

Guardian Shen said earnestly.

The disciples were completely dumbfounded.

First, the senior brother ascended to the World Realm as an Emperor, becoming the foremost person in East Qing Province.

Then, an outer disciple suddenly transformed and became a sect Guardian?

A Guardian, this requires Emperor-level strength!

Could an outer disciple possess such strength?

Many outer disciples stared at Guardian Shen for a long while.

Yes, indeed!

This guy is an outer disciple.

Many people had seen him before.

Both the inner hall and Core Disciples came over to inquire and found out that Guardian Shen was not lying.

"Pavilion Master, what’s going on?"

Yang Shen frowned.

It seemed he was displeased that an outer disciple had become a Guardian.

Liu Xiao replied, "Oh, it’s nothing. Guardian Shen, although his Spiritual Power isn’t strong, his physical body is extremely formidable, fully comparable to an Emperor!"

"What?"

"His physical stature is comparable to an Emperor?"

"How is that possible?"

...

The crowd exclaimed in disbelief.

They then realized that this Star Pavilion was much stronger than they had imagined!

Such high-level warriors dared to face danger fearlessly, staying behind to protect the Star Pavilion.

Some disciples who had initially planned to leave began to hesitate.
