Invincible Soul Emperor

Chapter 255: Chapter 255: Dare to Hit the Son-in-law of Rising Sun Pavilion?

Feeling that the sect’s protective array was on the verge of collapse under the external assault, Tian Jice grew anxious.

The old sect master of the Heavenly Profound Sect waved his hand and said to Tian Jice, ”It’s very likely that reinforcements from the Qingyun Sect have arrived. Immediately notify the experts within our sect to rush over here and deal with the situation.”

Tian Jice nodded and began sending messages to the experts within the sect.

By this time, Li Qingfeng and Venerable Heize had regained considerable strength and resumed their assault on the old sect master and Tian Jice.

Meanwhile, Elder Wuji, having stabilized his injuries after taking a Spirit Pill, continued his standoff with the Great Elder of the Heavenly Profound Sect.

BOOM!

With a sudden, deafening roar, the Heavenly Profound Sect’s protective array finally buckled under the pressure and shattered!

A hearty laugh immediately followed, addressing the old sect master and Tian Jice in the sky. ”Who was it just now that said one Qingyun Sect wasn’t enough? I wonder, how about we add our Rising Sun Pavilion to the mix?”

As the laughter faded, Qin Zhantian led a group of Rising Sun Pavilion experts onto the battlefield.

Qin Yue spotted Ye Qingchen immediately. Casting aside her maidenly reserve, she ran directly to his side and asked with concern, ”Ye Qingchen, are you alright?”

Ye Qingchen smiled and shook his head. He was deeply moved as he looked at the experts from the Rising Sun Pavilion. I personally killed his son, Qin Dahai, and his granddaughter, Qin Xi, yet Qin Zhantian has put aside our past grievances to come and lend me a hand.

Seeing that Ye Qingchen was indeed unharmed, Qin Yue finally relaxed. She looked angrily at Tian Jice and the others, then said to Ye Qingchen, ”These people are despicable! Rest assured, Ye Qingchen, Grandfather will certainly avenge you!”

Ye Qingchen nodded and said to Qin Yue, ”Thank you. Thank you, Qin Yue, and thank you as well, Elder Qin.”

Qin Yue shyly lowered her head and whispered, ”You said it yourself, there’s no need for thanks between us.”

Tian Jice, who was currently fighting Li Qingfeng, was shocked by the sudden appearance of the people from the Rising Sun Pavilion.

The Rising Sun Pavilion was an entity that stood above the top ten sects of the Northern Desolate Country. They were extraordinarily powerful.

In Tian Jice’s memory, his Heavenly Profound Sect not only had no grudges against the Rising Sun Pavilion but had even cooperated with Qin Dahai in the past. Although they weren’t close friends, their relationship was certainly not one that should have led to them taking up arms against each other.

With this in mind, Tian Jice first broke away from Li Qingfeng’s attack and then addressed Qin Zhantian, ”Elder Qin, could there be some misunderstanding here? Our Heavenly Profound Sect truly has no intention of making an enemy of the Rising Sun Pavilion!”

Tian Jice understood that even though the Heavenly Profound Sect was a one-star sect and considered a significant power within the Northern Desolate Country, it was nothing compared to the Qin Family of the Rising Sun Pavilion. If the Qin Family truly made a move, the Heavenly Profound Sect’s chances of survival were slim!

Li Qingfeng did not continue his pursuit of Tian Jice, instead approaching Qin Zhantian to pay his respects.

Qin Zhantian waved his hand and turned to Tian Jice. ”Ye Qingchen is the son-in-law of my Rising Sun Pavilion. You attacked my son-in-law and still claim you have no intention of being our enemy? You have quite the nerve!”

Qin Zhantian’s words not only stunned Tian Jice and the old sect master of the Heavenly Profound Sect, but also surprised Li Qingfeng and Hei Ze, who turned to look at Ye Qingchen in astonishment.

Standing next to Ye Qingchen, Qin Yue heard her grandfather so blatantly call Ye Qingchen the son-in-law of the Qin Family. She couldn’t help but lower her head in embarrassment, not daring to look at him.

Even Ye Qingchen himself was befuddled. However, since it was the heat of battle, he did not pursue the matter, assuming that Qin Zhantian had merely concocted an excuse to support him.

After he finished speaking, Qin Zhantian wasted no more words and immediately commanded the experts of the Rising Sun Pavilion to take action.

With the addition of the Rising Sun Pavilion’s experts, the battle quickly became one-sided.

Although experts from the Heavenly Profound Sect kept arriving, they were swiftly eliminated by the combined forces of the Rising Sun Pavilion and the Qingyun Sect.

Ye Qingchen even saw the high-level Martial Spirit Realm expert who had been summoned by Qin Dahai with the Roaring Heaven Thunder. He was in the midst of the battle, tearing through the Heavenly Profound Sect’s experts like a tiger among sheep, his prowess exceptional.

The battle lasted for only a dozen minutes or so. After that, no more experts from the Heavenly Profound Sect arrived. The only ones left on the field were the old sect master and Tian Jice.

In contrast, the Qingyun Sect and the Rising Sun Pavilion had suffered almost no casualties. The battle was completely one-sided.

The old sect master of the Heavenly Profound Sect and Tian Jice knew that their time was up and that it was now impossible to annihilate the members of the Qingyun Sect. The only thought left in their minds was to drag a few others down with them before they died.

But the experts present were far too skilled to let them have their way.

In the end, under the combined siege of the Rising Sun Pavilion and the Qingyun Sect, both the old sect master of the Heavenly Profound Sect and Tian Jice met their demise.

In their final moments, their hearts were filled with indignation and regret! They had never expected that buying off a few lowly miners would bring about the utter destruction of the Heavenly Profound Sect!

But it was too late for regrets...

Thus, a battle unlike any seen in a century in the Northern Desolate Country came to a close.

And the instigator of this battle, Ye Qingchen, was merely at the Martial Master Realm.

In this fight, the Heavenly Profound Sect lost dozens of Martial Spirit Realm masters—a near-total wipeout—and countless experts at the Martial Master Realm. It ended in a complete victory for the Qingyun Sect and the Rising Sun Pavilion.

Ye Qingchen approached Qin Zhantian and bowed deeply. Just as he was about to speak, Qin Zhantian stopped him.

Qin Zhantian understood that Ye Qingchen must want to apologize for the deaths of Qin Dahai and Qin Xi. But Qin Zhantian was a reasonable man. He knew their deaths were well deserved. If their roles had been reversed, Qin Zhantian would have also chosen to avenge his father without hesitation!

Li Qingfeng also came forward with Elder Wuji to thank Qin Zhantian. In fact, Li Qingfeng was more curious about Qin Zhantian’s earlier mention of a son-in-law.

Just as Li Qingfeng was about to ask, a group of people suddenly approached from outside the Xuan Ore Cave.

This group was formidable. From a distance, one could see that each person was equipped with high-grade Spiritual Artifacts.

Could there be more experts behind the Heavenly Profound Sect?

The thought lingered in everyone’s mind. If so, another fierce battle would surely ensue.

The group came closer, led by a young woman.

Once everyone recognized the newcomers, they breathed a sigh of relief, though their confusion only deepened.

The arrivals were none other than the Eldest Princess of the Northern Desolate Country, Cai Yunji, and her contingent of the royal guard.

Princess Cai Yunji frowned upon seeing the devastation in the Xuan Ore Cave, but when she saw Qin Zhantian and Li Qingfeng, she dismounted and approached them.

Qin Zhantian and Li Qingfeng clasped their fists in greeting to Cai Yunji, who returned the gesture and said, ”My father, the Emperor, recently received reports that the Heavenly Profound Sect has been committing heinous acts in secret. I am here on his orders to investigate the truth!

”But it seems I have arrived a step too late?”
