Having their sect masters killed was an utter humiliation, and an irreconcilable blood feud!
Thus, the two sects simply joined forces, intending to stand against Ye Chen!
They refused to believe that the combined strength of two sects could not defeat a single man!
They had heard something of what had happened at the Clear Void Sword Sect, but they had their own grounds for confidence!
The acting sect masters of the two sects stood together, facing Ye Chen from afar.
"We don't want to keep tangling with you. If you know what's good for you, admit your fault and kowtow, and we'll let bygones be bygones!"
The acting sect master of the Return to Origin Sect rebuked him coldly.
"Otherwise, the combined might of our two sects will surely slay you on the spot!"
The acting sect master of the Heavenly Gang Dao Sect also issued his command.
Seeing the resolute expressions on their faces, Ye Chen understood that he would have to properly "reason" with them this time.
"You want to come at me together? That's fine too. It'll save me the time of looking for you one by one."
Ye Chen smiled somewhat lazily.
To the people of the two sects, his words sounded outrageously arrogant.
However powerful he was, surely one man could not contend with two sects?
However, the large crowd following Ye Chen did not necessarily agree. Just now, Ye Chen had killed a Tribulation Transcendence Realm ancestor with a single finger.
He had even forced two Tribulation Transcendence Realm ancestors to pay an enormous price to settle the matter!
No matter how strong the Return to Origin Sect and the Heavenly Gang Dao Sect were, at most, they could bring out Tribulation Transcendence Realm ancestors.
Having more people would not necessarily help. He could simply use another two fingers!
Unless they could summon True Immortal ancestors, resistance would truly be meaningless!
"Arrogant! However, we can refrain from pursuing your crimes for now and give you another three days. Go back and reflect on your actions!"
The acting sect master of the Return to Origin Sect shouted coldly.
Many people found those words very strange.
They had already deployed their forces. Shouldn't they be taking Ye Chen down right now?
Why specifically give him three days to go back and reflect?
It made no sense!
Why did it seem a little like they were deliberately stalling?
Were these two sects scheming something?
As Ye Chen confronted the two sects, two figures abruptly appeared in a stretch of empty space in the distance.
One of them was actually Su Lingyun!
But the person standing beside Su Lingyun was not Tao Yaoyao from before, but a beautiful middle-aged woman.
"Elder Ruyan, have we arrived too late?"
Seeing the scene before her, Su Lingyun could not help growing a little anxious. She herself did not know why she was anxious.
Ruyan looked at Ye Chen and frowned.
"Something is off about this young man. I actually can't see through his strength? Could his realm be higher than mine? Impossible. I'm already in the True Immortal Realm! He must have some sort of concealment Secret Method!"
Elder Ruyan had an alluring figure, full where she should be full and slender where she should be slender. Her two heavy, soft globes swayed slightly as she spoke.
At the same time, she was also a very proud woman!
That was because she was an inner sect elder of the Falling Moon Holy Land and had already reached the True Immortal Realm!
With her status and strength, she indeed had the right to look down upon the crowd!
The Falling Moon Holy Land had heard something about the Kunlun Holy Land and had also learned that Su Lingyun had previously visited the Subduing Dragon Mountain Range.
Thus, Elder Ruyan had come with Su Lingyun.
If this suddenly risen Kunlun Holy Land really was going to turn the Falling Moon Region upside down, she would intervene.
The Falling Moon Region was the Falling Moon Holy Land's territory!
"Elder Ruyan, could you spare that young man's life?"
Su Lingyun sounded somewhat as though she were pleading with Ruyan on his behalf.
Hearing her words, Ruyan gave her a smile that was not quite a smile and asked, "What's this? Don't tell me you're feeling sorry for him?"
Su Lingyun blushed and explained earnestly, "Of course not! I'm not! Elder Ruyan, don't talk nonsense. I just think he hasn't done anything wrong!"
Ye Chen had taken disciples first, and only afterward had others tried to forcibly snatch them away, triggering the series of disputes.
When it came down to it, she thought Ye Chen could be considered innocent.
Thinking about it, if Ye Chen had not possessed the strength to kill everyone instantly, the Clear Void Sect Master would long since have killed him without leaving so much as a bone.
Everything he had done had merely been self-defense and retaliation!
"Don't worry. I won't kill anyone. I'll only step in to mediate. However, if that boy goes too far, I'll still have to capture him and bring him back to the holy land to be imprisoned."
Ruyan spoke calmly, yet her words carried profound confidence.
After all, she was a True Immortal Realm elder of the Falling Moon Holy Land!
While the two were talking, a faint smile also appeared on Ye Chen's face as he told the two acting sect masters, "There's no need to stall. You've already achieved your goal!"
No one yet understood what he meant.
What did he mean by "already achieved your goal"?
Could he have already seen through the two acting sect masters' intentions?
Before anyone could figure out what was happening, two terrifying presences suddenly soared into the sky from the deepest reaches of the Heavenly Gang Dao Sect, even more terrifying than those of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm!
Boom!
The two presences were so powerful that they seemed about to pierce the heavens!
Unbelievable pressure blanketed heaven and earth, and all manner of strange phenomena appeared. Thunder and lightning rolled across the sky, as though the world were about to be destroyed!
"This pressure-it's the True Immortal Realm! They've been stalling to let their ancestors break through to the True Immortal Realm?"
Elder Ruyan suddenly understood. No wonder the two acting sect masters had spouted so much nonsense and had even offered Ye Chen three days to reflect.
It had all been a scheme!
As long as they stalled until the two ancestors successfully broke through to the True Immortal Realm, they could sweep aside everything!
"Doesn't that mean we're in trouble?"
Hearing that there were two True Immortal Realm cultivators, Su Lingyun was so frightened that her little face turned as white as paper, and her worry for Ye Chen deepened.
That was the True Immortal Realm!
Even within a holy land, it was a level that held great authority!
Even if they had only just entered the True Immortal Realm, it was still an immense transformation!
Sure enough, two figures charged out from the depths of the Heavenly Gang Dao Sect, bearing heaven-shaking might, with lightning accompanying them.
Wherever they passed, the spectacle was almost enough to destroy heaven and earth!
Such might exceeded Ancestor Xuanjian's earlier display by who knew how many times!
"T-two True Immortal Realm cultivators?"
The three sect masters hiding in the shadows were now utterly dumbfounded.
They had never imagined that the Return to Origin Sect and the Heavenly Gang Dao Sect would possess two True Immortal Realm cultivators after joining forces!
If Ancestor Xuanjian from earlier had been powerful enough to swagger wherever he pleased,
Then the two True Immortal ancestors commanded immense prestige not just in the Falling Moon Region, but across the entire Eastern Victorious Continent!
They did not believe the four from the Kunlun Holy Land could return alive!
It was not that they thought the Kunlun Holy Land was weak, but that the two True Immortal ancestors were simply too powerful-powerful enough to plunge many people into despair!
