Evidence Is Conclusive-How Dare You Still Argue!

It was nightfall.

White Cloud City was utterly silent. Just then, a group of people took advantage of the darkness and stealthily approached Ye Yang's location.

Catching him off guard and striking when he was unprepared was merely their usual tactic. Their purpose was crystal clear: to teach this brat a small lesson.

At best, he would be injured. At worst, he might not survive. At that moment, they were also making their final preparations.

Their lineup was unprecedentedly powerful. As Central Province's Number One Heaven's Chosen and the top-ranked person on the Prodigy Ranking, Qin Hao had personally led the team here.

This time, however, he had not thought too much about it. Not long ago, he had received reliable news.

The youth before him had actually gone to White Cloud Temple and received special guidance from the Abbot of White Cloud.

There was even more explosive news: Qin Tian, his twin younger brother, whose strength differed little from his own, had actually lost to Ye Yang.

At first, he had not believed it either. It was only after the sect master of Azure Cloud Sword Sect, his own master, told him personally that he had been forced to accept this fact.

At the thought of this, his expression had already changed completely. Ye Yang had become a tremendous threat. If this threat was not eliminated, it would be like a wildfire that could never be burned away, only to spring back to life when the spring breeze blew.

"How is it? What did you find out? Is the location clear?"

With the cover of night, these mysterious people were already impatient to act. To complete their mission, they would stop at nothing.

But as for saying it... How should one put it? Thinking about something was one matter; truly doing it was another. How much of their promise they could fulfill and how far they could go remained a huge unknown.

"Big brother, rest assured. We investigated everything long ago. The other party is staying ahead, in a secluded place not far from here. It's extremely quiet there. This is the best opportunity for us to act."

One of them immediately chimed in and voiced his thoughts. He knew that if they were not going to prepare, that was one thing—but if they did prepare, they had to bring out their true strength.

In the past, they would not have hesitated or made any preparations. They would have simply crushed their opponent with sheer strength. But the youth before them could not be judged by ordinary standards.

The lessons of the past could not be ignored. They had also heard the rumors: every time someone tried to harm him, they died horribly.

Once might have been an accident. But twice or three times—that was proof of strength.

None of them were fools. They understood this principle clearly. At the same time, they knew that accomplishing such a thing required powerful strength as support. Otherwise, it would merely be a castle in the air, toppled by a single gust of wind.

The night had grown deep. All around them was hushed; not a single sound could be heard, nor a single figure seen. Everyone had extinguished their lamps and fallen into sleep. Yet they knew that this was precisely the best time to get to work.

"Everyone, be careful. I'm emphasizing this one last time: do not ruin this. Otherwise, we won't be able to answer to the Young Sect Master."

Azure Cloud Sword Sect focused on sword cultivation. Everyone possessed a personal natal sword, and only through constant tempering could they continue to grow stronger.

Everyone had a heart that yearned to grow stronger. Cultivation was like rowing against the current: if one did not advance, one would retreat. They all understood this principle. Once they entered the martial world, they no longer belonged to themselves.

They had no choice but to struggle ceaselessly within this vast arena, all for the sake of ascending to the absolute summit.

"Don't worry. We've already set up the Ten Absolute Kill Formation. He won't escape."

On the surface, they would restrain him while others secretly made additional preparations. It could be said that they had laid a Tianluo Earth Net, leaving him no way to escape even if he grew wings.

They had directly laid a Tianluo Earth Net, opening a pocket for him. As long as the other party entered, he would be able to enter but never leave. Fair to young and old alike—there would be no further discussion.

"Conceal yourselves. Wait for my signal." The man at the head was extremely cautious now. After all, this matter could pull the whole body when one strand was moved. If they failed to complete the mission, they would have no way to answer for it.

The group once again hid in the darkness, blending perfectly into their surroundings and making themselves impossible to guard against.

"Just as expected. It seems my breakthrough was merely a matter of water flowing into a channel. But things are a little troublesome now."

The higher the realm, the more difficult the breakthrough. Ye Yang had initially thought that there was something special about his Supreme Body, but only now did he discover how terrifying it truly was.

Every time he defeated a group of people, he harvested their cultivation resources. The most important were the Spirit Stones. In an instant, he took out several spatial rings, their Spirit Stones piled as high as mountains.

There were cheap ones, high-quality ones, and extremely expensive ones. All kinds of Spirit Stones were present; they could not be lumped together.

"This place is extremely quiet. Tomorrow is the Heavenly Pride Competition. I hope nothing unexpected happens. I'd better cultivate quickly."

After Ye Yang had just sat down and completed one Lesser Celestial Circuit, he noticed a faint sound and hurried toward this side.

"Looks like some people still refuse to give up. They followed me all the way back. Since that's the case, I'll put an end to them!"

Ye Yang's entire divine sense entered the space within the Primordial Chaos Pagoda, and he directly opened the second level. The flow of time there was a hundred times faster than outside, or perhaps even more.

Within the Primordial Chaos Pagoda, one day was equivalent to a hundred days outside. This was not an exaggeration. He had used this treasure to lay a solid foundation, and it had also been his natal treasure in his previous life. This time, he would rely on it to climb back to the summit.

"Primal Chaos Scepter, all laws return to origin, undying and imperishable, the flesh transcends!"

Ye Yang entered an extraordinary state. Any cultivation method, divine art, or ultimate technique seemed to pose no difficulty whatsoever at that moment.

"Mountain Shattering Invincible, ten thousand fists return as one!"

With the attitude of giving it a try, he practiced his Ye Household's basic fist art, Mountain Shattering Fist, and unexpectedly reached an even higher realm.

"Boom!"

His body resounded like thunder exploding. A powerful aura spread outward, forming a spectacular sight amid the night.

"Wait, what's happening? Why do I feel the spiritual energy between heaven and earth becoming agitated?"

The group lay concealed in the darkness, waiting for a chance to strike a fatal blow. Just when they thought success was certain, the situation underwent a tremendous change.

A thunderous boom rang out.

Thunder rumbled high above the Nine Heavens. It seemed someone else was undergoing tribulation—and it had directly locked onto them, leaving them looking extremely grim.

"Not good! Why have we run into something like this again? Everyone, find a way to leave quickly. We may not get another chance."

Strike while the iron was hot; once, twice, and then the strength waned. They were currently at the height of their momentum. If they did not seize the moment, they might lose this opportunity.

"Make your move. If we don't act now, it'll be troublesome."

Suddenly, they were forced to reveal themselves. There was no other choice. If they did not act now, when would they?

"Kill!"

One after another, they pounced forward like fierce tigers descending the mountain!

"Scram." Unfortunately, all that awaited him was a cold command to scram.

The road tests a horse's strength, and time reveals a person's heart. Ye Yang had deliberately chosen a secluded place for his residence, where people were few and far between. Although the scenery was beautiful and no one would disturb him, it also made it convenient for certain people to settle matters.

One after another, they charged toward Ye Yang, unaware that he had merely switched rooms. They rushed in, only to find empty air.

"The evidence is conclusive. How dare you still argue?"

They had intended to seize him directly, only to be toyed with by the other party.
