Witnessed with His Own Eyes

The relationship between Ning Qi and Lu Ziyue was no secret within the Wuji Sword Sect.

Almost everyone knows this.

Ning Qi was brought back by Lu Ziyue, who also gave him a lot of resources in the early stages. The two became very close friends, and many people envied Lu Ziyue's good fortune. She also received a reward from the sect because of this. This time, she was able to break through to the Primordial Spirit Realm, and the sect's reward was equally important.

And now.

Lu Ziyue was actually "invited" to Fenglei Peak by Ye Chen a few days ago.

While nothing serious is likely to happen, this is clearly a provocation.

As for why, Qin Minghao knew.

It's probably because of Wei Feng.

Qin Minghao lowered his head and dared not say more. After witnessing Ning Qi's true origins in the True Martial, he felt even more awe for Ning Qi. He was not worried that Ning Qi would be unable to resolve this trouble, but he was concerned about the subsequent impact.

"Senior Brother Ning..." he finally spoke cautiously.

But before he could finish speaking, Ning Qi's calm voice interrupted him:

"Go to Fenglei Peak."

Qin Minghao's heart skipped a beat.

"Yes!"

He broke out in a cold sweat and immediately went down to make preparations.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to have underestimated Lu Ziyue's position in Ning Qi's heart.

indeed.

Ning Qi values Lu Ziyue highly.

It wasn't about romantic love, but rather a matter of cause and effect. When Lu Ziyue brought him back to the Wuji Sword Sect, a connection was destined between them. Moreover, Lu Ziyue treated him with sincerity, so Ning Qi would not stand idly by, both morally and logically. Besides, Lu Ziyue's current predicament was caused by him.

The Five Elements Peaks began to rotate at an astonishing speed.

The disciples who had just returned gathered in mid-air, their expressions solemn.

After being baptized by the Origin the True Martial, all the disciples who went out this time have greatly improved their cultivation. In particular, several True Disciple have made great progress in their cultivation, enough to be ranked among the top among the many True Disciple. Qin Minghao is even qualified to be among the top ten True Disciple.

All who looked upon him were filled with shock.

In such a short time, how could the Five Elements Peak's foundation have increased so dramatically?

Before they could think further, an extraordinary figure in white robes soared into the air, and the numerous powerful figures all bowed their heads in fervent devotion.

"Senior Brother Ning!"

Ning Qi nodded slightly and stepped into the air towards Fenglei Peak.

In an instant.

The entire Wuji Sword Sect was in an uproar.

Even many of the True Disciple who had been in seclusion for arduous cultivation broke out of their seclusion, because they knew that what happened next might affect the future of the True Disciple.

Fenglei Peak.

Powerful figures stood respectfully in the center of the white jade square. Two figures sat playing chess. The man was tall and imposing, his every move seemingly accompanied by wind and thunder, exuding unparalleled dominance. The woman had a graceful figure, her purple dress possessing a unique charm, but her face was cold and aloof at this moment.

Ye Chen smiled and said:

"Junior Sister Lu, why bother? Do you know that in the Boundless Sword Sect, there are too many people who want to see me but cannot, let alone sit opposite me?"

He was somewhat arrogant, but what he said was true. As the number one True Disciple of the Wuji Sword Sect, he had already stood at the pinnacle among all the disciples.

Lu Ziyue's expression was indifferent:

"Senior Brother Ye is naturally Tiansheng virtue, while Lu Ziyue has only been fortunate enough to step into the True Disciple. What merit do she have to deserve such high regard from Senior Brother?"

Ye Chen sized up the stunningly beautiful woman before him. He had seen all kinds of beauties, but at this moment, he inexplicably felt that the woman before him possessed a unique charm. He casually placed the chess piece on a spot riddled with flaws:

"Junior Sister Ziyue, there's no need for such modesty. These past few days with you have deeply impressed me with your talent and wisdom. How about we become dao companion?"

The words had barely left his mouth.

Envious and jealous gazes were cast upon him from all around. Ye Chen still had no dao companion, and many True Disciple who followed him coveted this position. However, they did not expect that Ye Chen would take the initiative to bring it up today, and the object of his attention was Lu Ziyue, who had just stepped into the position of True Disciple.

Lu Ziyue was taken aback, then a hint of anger rose in her eyes, and she said coldly:

"Senior Brother Ye is a man of such stature; Lu Ziyue is not worthy of him."

She knew.

The other party's actions suggest they don't genuinely want to become her dao companion; they likely just want to use her to strike at Ning Qi, treating her like a tool.

Even setting aside these factors, Ye Chen was not the right match for her.

This person acts too domineeringly and never cares about the feelings of others. If you were to become their dao companion, you would only be a subordinate.

For some reason, she thought of Ning Qi.

Previously, whenever she discussed Dao with Ning Qi, it was always like a gentle breeze and a spring rain. If she were to truly consider dao companion, she would only choose someone like Ning Qi. With this thought in mind, a faint blush inexplicably rose to her cheeks.

Ye Chen's eyelids drooped slightly, and the chess piece at his fingertips turned into dust and drifted down.

Several angry shouts rang out from the surroundings:

"How dare you! Senior Brother Ye possesses such celestial beauty; to have him favor you is a blessing for a hundred lifetimes. Not only are you ungrateful, but you also dare to refuse! You have no sense of propriety!"

"You're like a frog in a well, an ant, while Senior Brother Ye is like the bright moon. Now that you have the chance to bask in his light, you don't even know how to cherish it?"

The followers glared angrily at Lu Ziyue.

If Ye Chen hadn't been there, Lu Ziyue would probably have been crushed by that terrifying aura.

Even so, she still felt immense pressure, and her face turned pale.

But Lu Ziyue didn't speak; she just lowered her head and pursed her lips.

Ye Chen, feeling disheartened, shook his head and said:

"It seems I had too high expectations of you."

He slowly stood up.

Just as he was about to say something, his gaze suddenly turned to the distant horizon, and a cold smile appeared on his face. He glanced at Lu Ziyue and said indifferently:

"I know what you're thinking. You'll soon find out just how big the gap is between him and me."

Everyone's gaze turned to the distance.

Those powerful auras stirred up the wind and clouds, and the starry sea of clouds in the central peaks also trembled incessantly.

The disciples of Fenglei Peak all sneered.

A moment later.

A cold voice rang out:

"Senior Brother Ye, we are here on Senior Brother Ning's orders to fetch Junior Sister Lu. She has been staying at Fenglei Peak for several days; we are grateful for your hospitality."

A young man in blue robes appeared outside Fenglei Peak. In the distance, a three-colored treasure boat could be vaguely seen hovering in the air, and powerful figures appeared and disappeared.

Ye Chen remained silent.

Qin Minghao is no match for him.

Followers around were already sneering.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to Senior Brother Ye? Call the people behind you here!"

Ye Ning stepped into the air and landed opposite Qin Minghao. He had a sinister smile on his face. Soldier against soldier, king against king. If it were just Qin Minghao, it would be a dereliction of duty for the many followers to make Ye Ning take action.

"I recognize you, Qin Minghao, right? Just an invisible figure among the True Disciple, yet you dare to be so presumptuous? Do you think you've already transformed? Today I'll show you reality!"

Ye Ning laughed. He and Ye Chen were from the same clan, and among their many followers, he was also extremely powerful.

That's all.

He condensed a giant Primordial Spirit hand and grabbed towards Qin Minghao. This was a more advanced application of the Primordial Spirit dharma form, condensing only a portion of the power, making it more pure. In an instant, the sea of clouds churned, revealing many True Disciple who were watching from afar.

Everyone was excited, not expecting the scene to be so lively, and they started fighting right away.

But Qin Minghao remained calm.

He used to look up to Ye Ning, but now he has completely transformed.

He stood with his hands behind his back, and with a single punch, black and white light flickered and changed unpredictably. He cultivated the Yin-Yang Sword Dao, and after being instructed by Ning Qi many times, he was no longer the same as before, possessing profound mysteries. At this moment, even without using the Sword Dao, he still possessed immense power.

"Boom!"

The deafening roar shook Ye Ning, whose expression changed drastically. His Primordial Spirit hand, which he had condensed, was instantly blasted into dust. His Primordial Spirit trembled, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The crowd erupted in uproar.

Qin Minghao is actually that strong?

It should be noted that ten years ago, he was just an insignificant nobody among hundreds of True Disciple.

"He has only followed True Disciple Ning for less than ten years, yet he has achieved such a great improvement?" The True Disciple were envious, and at the same time, they were filled with fervor for the figure sitting high on the three-colored treasure ship.

Ye Ning was furious and embarrassed. He was both shocked and angry. He had made a huge fool of himself in front of so many people, and it wasn't just about his reputation, but also Ye Chen's.

"I underestimated you just now, come again!" he roared.

However, his arm was grabbed by a disciple.

"Senior Brother Wang," Ye Ning said, suppressing his anger.

He and Ye Chen came from the same clan. Apart from the Ye Household, he looked down on most of Ye Chen's followers. But Wang Ye was no ordinary person, because Wang Ye was ranked ninth among the Ten True Disciple.

Each of the ten True Disciple has their own pride.

Even the True Disciple and second True Disciple would never follow him.

However, Ye Chen gained Wang Ye's following, while He Tian, who was ranked tenth, followed Jiang Qingxue. As for the others who were ranked higher, they all went their own way and even had some thoughts of competing with the two.

"Let me handle this; you're no match for him," Wang Ye said in a deep voice.

He was tall and clad in spirit armor, with one muscular arm exposed. He was one of the few cultivators in the Wuji Sword Sect who did not follow the Sword Dao, but instead cultivated the body refinement path. Ye Chen had promised him that he could gather the power of the Ye Household to find him a profound body refinement technique in the future, which is why he followed Ye Chen.

Wang Ye could see clearly that Qin Minghao already had the strength to become one of the top ten True Disciple. If Ye Ning continued down this path, it would only be Ye Chen who would lose face. Therefore, he decisively stepped forward.

Ye Ning was unwilling to accept this.

But she still voluntarily withdrew.

Amidst the intense scrutiny of the world.

Wang Ye ascended step by step into the air, standing opposite Qin Minghao, his gaze calm:

"It's truly remarkable that you've risen from obscurity to where you are today. It's a pity you shouldn't have opposed Senior Brother Ye."

Qin Minghao sneered:

"I'll say the same to you: Senior Brother Ning is someone you can never reach."

"How long have you followed Senior Brother Ye? And how much progress have you made? But I, with Senior Brother Meng Ning's guidance, can defeat you today."

These words subtly stung Wang Ye. He had been so proud back then, but unfortunately, his path was blocked. He joined Ye Chen's ranks, hoping to learn profound skills, but after so many years, he had achieved very little. Every time this matter was mentioned, Ye Chen would only say that the time was not right.

Looking at the other side, in just ten years, they went from being True Disciple disciple to one of the top ten True Disciple. The difference between the two is ridiculously large.

For a moment, he felt a pang of jealousy.

Wang Ye's gaze was cold:

"Defeat me? You try."

He was filled with rage and wanted to vent it on Qin Minghao. He took a step into the air, and his figure continued to grow taller. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a hundred-foot giant with three heads and six arms. Each of his six arms held a fierce weapon or magic Law Treasure, all of which were of superior quality. The axes, hammers, spears, and halberds exuded a fierce aura, and conspicuous marks pierced through the sea of clouds, reflecting the horror in everyone's hearts.

"Three-headed, six- Military Sha!" He Tian murmured, his gaze somewhat solemn. He and Wang Ye were old rivals, very familiar with each other. This was a body-refining technique that Wang Ye had obtained through a fortuitous encounter in his early years. If it weren't for the missing parts, his achievements would probably be even greater than they are now. Now, after ten years of not fighting, he didn't expect his opponent to have made such great progress.

Jiang Qingxue, who was standing next to her, also nodded slightly.

She looked at the three-colored treasure ship in the distance, her eyes filled with curiosity and a hint of inquiry. If Ning Qi hadn't displayed his abilities today, then the matter of Jiang Xuan would certainly not have ended there.

Immediately, her gaze fell on Qin Minghao.

Qin Minghao's gaze turned slightly cautious, but he was not afraid at all. A soaring Sword Intent rose from his body, manifesting yin and yang. A flash of black and white sword light slashed towards Wang Ye.

He could easily handle Ye Ning's level of skill, but now, facing Wang Ye, he naturally had to go all out.

Senior Brother Ning was watching from behind, and he absolutely couldn't let Senior Brother Ning down.

In an instant.

The two fought fiercely together.

These were all top-tier cultivators in the Primordial Spirit Realm, possessing superior Cultivation Method. The resulting battle was incredibly intense, causing the sea of clouds to overturn. The True Disciple were filled with awe and shock, unable to believe that Qin Minghao could actually fight Wang Ye to a standstill.

They even... gained a slight advantage.

The Primordial Spirit 'Law Power condensed into sword light, constantly shifting and splitting in the void. Sometimes the sword light transformed into a dragon, and sometimes it converged into a river, displaying its profound mystery. Wang Ye also demonstrated the power of a Body Refining True Lord, with each punch and kick possessing immense power. His physical body was comparable to Law Treasure, charging and crashing about.

The fluctuations from their battle attracted more and more disciples.

Even the sect's high-ranking members have taken notice.

However, those powerful figures did not intervene. To become a strong person, how can one succeed without competition? This is true even within the sect. This fight was started because of Ye Chen and Ning Qi. Before these two entered the fray, they naturally would not interfere. In fact, as long as things did not get out of control, they would not intervene.

Lu Ziyue was deeply shaken, but her gaze remained fixed on the three-colored treasure ship in the distance. She vaguely felt a warm gaze looking over her, as if trying to reassure her.

The slight tension that had been rising in her heart miraculously disappeared, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

Ye Chen snorted coldly.

He stood with his hands behind his back, watching the Battlefield.

He was initially confident, but gradually his gaze grew colder and colder.

Above the sky, the black and white sword light grew even more ferocious, transforming into two black and white dragons that slashed at Wang Ye's body, leaving it covered in blood.

"Cut!"

Qin Minghao roared, full of vigor. He had thoroughly mastered the profound mysteries of Yin and Yang that Ning Qi had mentioned, and his sword strike was incredibly powerful, forcefully slicing Wang Ye away.

In an instant.

The Dharma image shattered, leaving everyone in shock.

They witnessed firsthand the rise of a prodigy.

Qin Minghao composed himself, knowing who was behind it all. He met Ye Chen's gaze without fear.

"Senior Brother Ye, on Senior Brother Ning's orders, has come to invite Junior Sister Lu!"
