Nine Revolutions Star Technique

Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Mission Rewards

Huang Wenze?

When the crowd saw the figure that flew out, they were immediately shocked. The one who was blasted away was actually Huang Wenze, which meant the one still standing there must be...

Whoosh!

Amidst the gusting wind, the dust slowly dispersed.

At this moment.

The scene in the area gradually became clear.

Ye Qingchen stood in place, completely unmoved, looking unscathed.

”How is this possible?”

”Senior Brother Huang Wenze was defeated?”

”That last move was the Cloud Shuttle Pointing, a top-grade Yellow-rank martial technique... and he still couldn’t defeat the opponent? Who exactly is this young man?”

Instantly, the surroundings erupted with a sound akin to crashing waves.

They had thought that even if Huang Wenze couldn’t win using Cloud Shuttle Pointing, he wouldn’t lose so miserably. But now, he’d been blasted back with just a finger from the opponent. Since when did such a powerful young genius appear in Celestial Peak Country?

”Thunder Shock Pointing! He’s Ye Qingchen! The Newcomer King, Ye Qingchen!”

Someone suddenly shouted out.

Immediately.

The once boisterous area outside the valley plunged into deathly silence.

Countless eyes, filled with astonishment, turned to look at the young man.

No one dared to speak again.

They never expected to encounter the former Newcomer King here.

At the sect selection conference, Ye Qingchen’s battle with Hong Qitian was witnessed by them all, but they hadn’t experienced it personally. Furthermore, as they joined the sect and their cultivation improved, their martial arts skills became more refined, leading them to gradually disdain the Newcomer King.

They thought that battle was just Ye Qingchen’s last moment of glory.

If they met him again, they could defeat him with just one hand!

But now.

This battle was like a resounding slap, harshly landing on all of their faces.

”That’s right, it’s indeed the Newcomer King, Ye Qingchen!” Hong Man laughed heartily, stepped forward, and crossed his arms with a cold smile, saying, ”This valley is ours now. You should leave!”

”Hong Man?”

”Jiang Churan?”

At this moment, the Celestial Essence Sword Sect also recognized the two people behind Ye Qingchen.

In an instant, their faces turned ashen, and they dared not retort.

Huang Wenze was helped up struggling, his opponent known as the Life and Death Sword, hadn’t even drawn his sword to defeat him. His expression shifted from green to white and he could only let out a long sigh:

”So it was the Newcomer King, I was blind and didn’t recognize you!”

The guards were also filled with disbelief.

They had heard about the events at the sect selection conference, but they thought it was just a rumor. Who would have thought that the reticent young man who followed them all along was actually the Newcomer King!

Now, this Newcomer King had defeated the disciples of the Celestial Essence Sword Sect without any resistance.

Luo Huan’s eyes widened, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.

”This Valley of No Return is now mine. Does anyone have any objections?” Ye Qingchen said lightly.

Upon hearing this, Huang Wenze’s body trembled, his eyelids drooped, and he said in a deep voice, ”Since it’s the Newcomer King’s request, we can only comply... From now on, this Valley of No Return is yours!”

The other disciples looked at each other, not daring to say more and they all made way.

The guards burst into cheers; these arrogant Celestial Essence Sword Sect disciples, who previously didn’t give them a second look, now had to obediently make way.

Watching the cheering crowd behind him, Huang Wenze paused, turned around, and stared hard at Ye Qingchen, ”But before I leave, I have something to say to the Newcomer King!”

”I lost because my skills were inferior, not because the Celestial Essence Sword Sect fears you!”

”We’ll surely settle this score in the future!”

”I’ll be waiting!”

Ye Qingchen replied straightforwardly.

Huang Wenze gave Ye Qingchen a deep look, then turned and left.

The other disciples of the Sword Sect didn’t dare to linger either.

With no more obstacles, the guards finally entered the Valley of No Return. The valley was vast, vibrant, and filled with flowers and strange beasts, which fled in panic as they entered.

Seeing the state of the valley, Hong Man was furious, ”I thought this valley was desolate, which was why those Celestial Essence Sword Sect people guarded the entrance and wouldn’t let us in. I didn’t expect they wanted to monopolize the Valley of No Return!”

Ye Qingchen’s expression didn’t change as he slowly shook his head, ”The people of the Celestial Essence Sword Sect have always been domineering and lawless, when have they ever cared about others?”

Hearing this, the others nodded repeatedly.

The actions of the eight major sects had been seen firsthand this time.

Only Jiang Churan looked worried, lowering her voice to say, ”I heard Zhao Yue joined the Celestial Essence Sword Sect and was personally taught by the Sect Leader. His strength has grown several times since the day of the selection conference! I fear Huang Wenze won’t let this go so easily!”

”Zhao Yue?”

Ye Qingchen frowned.

Zhao Yue, known for his Heaven-shocking Pointing.

Ranked third among the geniuses, only below Lei Qianjue and Chen Beixuan.

Although he didn’t win the Newcomer King title, emerging from among so many young talents is not something to be judged by common sense. Furthermore, because of the previous Newcomer King incident, the Celestial Essence Sword Sect valued him highly, and his skills must have been improving by leaps and bounds.

”If they are unsatisfied, then they can come one by one!”

Ye Qingchen lowered his eyes.

He still had unfinished business with the Celestial Essence Sword Sect!

Because the Blood Dark Mountain was extremely perilous.

After Luo Huan collected enough herbs, they didn’t linger and immediately returned the way they came.

To this point.

The task was considered successfully completed.

”Ye Qingchen, this trip to the Valley of No Return, I really must thank you. Otherwise, I don’t know how I would explain to my master!”

In front of the Martial Arts Arena, Luo Huan stopped Ye Qingchen.

”No thanks needed, we each got what we needed!”

Ye Qingchen smiled.

The other party needed to collect herbs, while he needed to complete the task.

In Luo Huan’s eyes, a hint of disappointment appeared, as if she thought of something. She took out a Jade Pendant, ”I can’t resolve your sister’s situation, but maybe my master can. In the future, you can use this Jade Pendant to find me at the Vast Sea Sect!”

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingchen’s expression shifted slightly. He recalled the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures in the secret realm, not knowing if they could fully cure Ye Qing. So he couldn’t refuse, nor would he refuse! ”Then I’ll gratefully accept!”

After sending Luo Huan away, Ye Qingchen turned and walked into the Martial Arts Arena.

At this time.

Everyone had already chosen their rewards.

Hong Man chose the ”Mad Demon Staff Technique,” a top-grade Yellow-rank technique.

Jiang Churan chose the ”Cyan Frost Sword,” also a top-grade Yellow-rank technique.

As for the others, some chose pills, others weapons, or other valuables.

Originally.

Their rewards weren’t supposed to be this generous, but because Wu Mo and five other Spiritual Sea First Layer cultivators were eliminated before departure, those rewards were redistributed among them.

After entering the Martial Arts Arena, the Silver Robe Steward was already waiting there. The large room was filled with weapons, martial techniques, and various pills, showing that the guards and others had chosen their rewards from here earlier.

Just as Ye Qingchen was about to choose, the Steward spoke first:

”Young Master Ye, your reward isn’t here!”
