Invincible Soul Emperor

Chapter 245: Chapter 245 Going to the Heavenly Profound Sect

Qin Yue let out a cry of shock, never expecting that Ye Qingchen was behind this. She was well aware of Qin Dahai’s strength. When Ye Qingchen left the capital, he was only at the second layer of the Martial Master Realm. In just over a month, he had somehow managed to kill Qin Dahai, a second-layer Martial Spirit Realm practitioner?

This... this is just too appalling!

However, when Old Wang mentioned that no one had troubled Ye Qingchen, Qin Yue’s heart settled. As long as Ye Qingchen was fine, everything was alright.

Qin Zhantian, however, furrowed his brow. He never expected it was Ye Qingchen who had killed his son and granddaughter.

Fearing Qin Zhantian’s anger, Old Wang hurriedly explained, ”Please calm your anger, Tower Master. As far as I know, it was Miss Qin Xi who repeatedly sent assassins after Ye Qingchen. She even went to Qingyun Town personally to exterminate the entire Ye Family. Ye Qingchen had no choice but to act and kill her.”

Old Wang himself had no fondness for Qin Dahai’s family and was more inclined to believe in Ye Qingchen’s integrity, so he spoke very defensively of him. ”Qin Dahai went to Qingyun Town to save Miss Qin Xi. Moreover, as I understand it, Qin Dahai kidnapped Ye Qingchen’s father ten years ago. After torturing him in every conceivable way, he sold him to the mines of the Heavenly Profound Sect as a slave miner. His fate is still unknown to this day. Ye Qingchen killed Qin Dahai to avenge his father!”

Qin Zhantian’s already ashen face twisted with uncontrollable emotion after hearing Old Wang’s report. With a slam of his palm, he pulverized a nearby table and roared, ”Those vile creatures!”

Thinking that Qin Zhantian was about to blame Ye Qingchen, Qin Yue quickly grabbed his arm and said, ”Grandfather, Qin Xi’s family caused Ye Qingchen so much suffering, making him an orphan from a young age. It’s understandable that he would do such a thing to get his revenge!”

Old Wang also chimed in quickly, ”Please, Tower Master, restrain your anger. Ye Qingchen said he is willing to pay for their lives with his own. But his urgent priority right now is to rescue his father. After that, he will come to your door to apologize personally!”

Qin Zhantian sighed heavily and waved his hand. ”Our Qin Family owes Ye Qingchen too much. Qin Xi knew that Young Friend Ye saved my life, yet instead of showing gratitude, she tried to have him assassinated! And that unfilial son of mine, Qin Dahai, behaved like a beast! The two of them got what they deserved!”

Old Wang sighed in relief. He had truly been afraid that Qin Zhantian would fly into a rage and go confront Ye Qingchen.

However, Qin Yue caught a detail in Old Wang’s words and asked, ”Old Wang, did you just say Ye Qingchen is going to the Heavenly Profound Sect to save his father?”

Old Wang nodded. ”Indeed, he said he intends to rescue someone from the Heavenly Profound Sect.”

A sense of urgency gripped Qin Yue. ”Grandfather,” she said to Qin Zhantian, ”no matter how powerful Ye Qingchen is, he’s still only in the Martial Master Realm. How can he possibly be a match for the Heavenly Profound Sect? We have to help him!”

Qin Zhantian patted Qin Yue on the shoulder and said gravely, ”Young Friend Ye saved my life. Now that he’s in danger, we will naturally help. We will set out for the Heavenly Profound Sect at once to lend him our aid!”

Hearing her grandfather agree to help, Qin Yue felt relieved, though she still urged him to set out as soon as possible.

Qin Zhantian then turned to Old Wang. ”We’re heading for the Heavenly Profound Sect now. You are to go to the Qingyun Sect at once and inform Sect Leader Li Qingfeng. Tell him Ye Qingchen is going to cause trouble at the Heavenly Profound Sect, and we’ll see what the Qingyun Sect plans to do!”

After speaking, Qin Zhantian left with Qin Yue. Not daring to delay, Old Wang also set off for the Qingyun Sect.

What baffled Old Wang was just what sort of background this Ye Qingchen had. He killed the Tower Master’s son and granddaughter, yet the Tower Master wasn’t seeking revenge and was instead going to rescue him. Moreover, judging by the Tower Master’s tone, Ye Qingchen also held a very important position in the Qingyun Sect, one that could directly alarm its Sect Leader.

With a stomach full of doubts, Old Wang rushed to the Qingyun Sect. After informing Li Qingfeng about Ye Qingchen’s situation, he departed.

Li Qingfeng dared not neglect the matter. Ye Qingchen was the future hope of the Qingyun Sect. Venerable Heize had even asserted that Ye Qingchen was the key to the sect’s ascension to a two-star Sect. He quickly summoned the senior members of the Qingyun Sect and informed them of the situation.

”That Ye Qingchen sure knows how to cause trouble! If I’d known this would happen, I never would have let him train in the Qingyun Mountain Range,” Li Zongrui couldn’t help but blurt out after Li Qingfeng finished speaking. He started with criticism, but seeing the icy glares from Li Qingfeng and Elder Wuji, he quickly changed his tune. ”But this kid has some serious guts, daring to go to the Heavenly Profound Sect alone. I’ll admit, I like that!”

Elder Wuji then spoke up. ”Sect Leader, not only is Ye Qingchen your Direct Disciple, but he has also rendered great service to our Qingyun Sect on multiple occasions. We cannot simply stand by and do nothing.”

Venerable Heize also stated, ”Li Qingfeng, whether you go to save Ye Qingchen or not, I am definitely going.”

Li Qingfeng just laughed and shook his head. ”He is my disciple. Of course, I’m going to save him. Let’s set off for the Heavenly Profound Sect now!”

After making arrangements for the Qingyun Sect’s affairs, Li Qingfeng left with Venerable Heize, Elder Wuji, and Li Zongrui. The group of four headed straight for the Heavenly Profound Sect.

「Meanwhile」

As Ye Qingchen journeyed onward, he sat in his carriage, cultivating frantically. He hung his Qingyun Sect disciple Token on the front of the carriage and traveled along the main roads. Seeing the Token of the Qingyun Sect, no one dared to provoke him, which gave him the time he needed to cultivate.

Although Ye Qingchen had only recently broken through, his battle with a Martial Spirit Realm expert had benefited him greatly. He had especially felt the realm’s formidable power when facing Old Wang, a high-level Martial Spirit Realm cultivator. Coupled with the Cultivation Resources he had collected from Qin Xi and Qin Dahai, Ye Qingchen was very confident about his next breakthrough.

The journey to the Xuan Ore Cave of the Heavenly Profound Sect would take about twenty days, and during that time, Ye Qingchen cultivated day and night without rest. What delighted him even more was that his Divine Wood Skill seemed to have improved once again, allowing him to absorb Spiritual Energy at an even faster rate.

After twenty days of arduous cultivation, Ye Qingchen finally broke through to the seventh layer of the Martial Master Realm just before arriving at the Xuan Ore Cave.

At this point, he was not far from the Heavenly Profound Sect. Ye Qingchen stopped the carriage and took down his disciple Token. He understood that this was a matter for his family and that he couldn’t involve the Qingyun Sect. This time, he chose to confront the Heavenly Profound Sect in his own name.

After finding a place to rest and freshen up, he drove his carriage toward the Xuan Ore Cave, his heart pounding with apprehension.

So many years have passed. I wonder how Father is doing now...
