Nine Revolutions Star Technique

Taotian Palace, back mountain.

Before a dazzling array of rune lights, several young men were sitting cross-legged.

These young men were disciples from the Seven Peaks, four of whom had reached the Human Immortal realm, and one had reached the Human Immortal Fourth Layer.

If this combination was seen in the outside world, it would be enough to dominate a city. However, these people were assigned here as gatekeepers. They sat cross-legged drinking and eating meat, chatting leisurely.

”Senior brother Zhao Lei, what’s so interesting about guarding this space rift? We’ve been transferred here for a full three months without any movement; isn’t this a waste of time?”

Speaking was a disciple at the Human Immortal Third Layer.

The Zhao Lei he mentioned was precisely the existence at the Human Immortal Fourth Layer. Zhao Lei glanced at the speaking disciple, sneered: ”Xiao Ming, do you know where this space rift leads?”

”Where?”

Everyone looked over.

It is to be known.

In the Kunlun Realm, there are many such space rifts, some left by shattered secret realms, others created by battles of peerless experts, and no one knows what lies beyond these rifts.

”This rift is exactly the exit of the Valley of Life and Death!”

Zhao Lei sat in the center of the crowd, looked at their eyes filled with shock, awe, or confusion, and said indifferently:

”In this Valley of Life and Death, all the top-notch Human Immortals of the Kunlun Realm are suppressed. There’s the Venerable Red Dragon who feeds demonic beasts with the blood of thousands of Human Immortals, there’s Tang Jianming who specifically devours the souls of Human Immortals, there’s Pei Xunzhen who practices deadly demonic arts, and the Withered Bone Ancestor who feeds on the essence of living people...”

Hiss, hiss, hiss!

Each name Zhao Lei uttered was like thunder, directly falling upon everyone’s ears.

These existences each made their names stepping over mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Years, even decades ago, they had heard of these people. Could they all be imprisoned in the Valley of Life and Death?

Whoosh!

Almost immediately.

The disciple named Xiao Ming from earlier was already stricken with panic, retreating several steps like a startled rabbit. The other disciples also retreated.

Faces full of fear.

Seeing everyone’s expressions, Zhao Lei laughed heartily: ”Rest assured, in this Valley of Life and Death, although such top-notch Human Immortals are suppressed, barely anyone comes out!”

”In the Valley of Life and Death, not only is there a scarcity of Spiritual Qi, but evil cultivators, Demon Dao practitioners, and demonic beasts are in abundance. They struggle to maintain their original cultivation realm, let alone survive and come out!”

”For those who were thrown into the Valley of Life and Death, there may not even be bones left! Otherwise, why would Taotian Palace send us insignificant cats and dogs to guard this place?”

Zhao Lei’s words instantly made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhao Lei smiled and continued: ”Three months ago, Ye Qingchen, who almost single-handedly dismantled the entire Void Peak, was personally thrown into the Valley of Life and Death by the Sect Leader!”

”No matter how arrogant he was, hasn’t he been completely silent since then?”

Upon hearing this, everyone recalled the scene from three months ago.

In the spotlight.

Ye Qingchen was grabbed by the Sect Leader and thrown directly into the void. What a breathtaking scene that was; even recalling it now still shocked them.

”Yes, perhaps Ye Qingchen has already been torn to pieces by the evil cultivators in the Valley of Life and Death! Those closely associated with Ye Qingchen were implicated as well...” A faint mocking smile appeared on Xiao Ming’s lips, but in the next moment, it froze.

Because, suddenly, something changed.

The space rift, floating in mid-air like an inscribed talisman, suddenly burst open with a brilliant gleam. Amidst this dazzling light, the entire void seemed to be forcibly ripped apart by a pair of giant hands. In the incredulous gazes of all present, three figures slowly stepped out.

The three figures consisted of one old and two young.

The old man appeared sage-like yet carried a hint of wickedness.

The young ones were imposing and extraordinary in posture.

The most surprising to everyone was.

The youth in the middle of the two, clad in green with silver hair, carrying a longsword on his back, and a peculiar gourd at his waist. Despite being the youngest, the two other people took him as their leader.

”Who are you?”

The few people were simultaneously shocked.

Xiao Ming was even more startled, drawing his weapon as if facing a formidable enemy, looking at the three before him. They had just mentioned the Valley of Life and Death, and unexpectedly someone walked out of it.

How could they not be surprised?

”Where is this?”

Amidst their fear, they heard the silver-haired youth casually ask.

As everyone was unsure of what to do, Xiao Ming suddenly reacted, quickly stepping forward with utmost respect, saying: ”Senior, this is the back mountain of Taotian Palace...”

He spoke while secretly observing the others.

These three were Ye Qingchen, Zheng Jiuling, and Han Buxiu.

With Ye Qingchen’s character of keeping his word, he said he would take Zheng Jiuling out of the Valley of Life and Death and naturally would not go back on his word.

As for Han Buxiu, beyond cherishing his talent, Ye Qingchen wanted to see Elder Ye Xu Kong’s expression when she found her disciple, whom she personally suppressed, was now following him!

Of course.

Han Buxiu had sworn an oath with his soul and signed a master-servant contract.

”Master, Taotian Palace’s back mountain is part of the inner gate... and it’s not far from the Seven Peaks!” Han Buxiu said in a deep, emotionless voice, ”Moreover, it is closest to Void Peak!”

”Oh, really?”

Ye Qingchen raised his eyebrows.

His gaze swept over Xiao Ming, coldly asking: ”You just said, what happened to those closely related to Ye Qingchen? What implication did they suffer?”

Xiao Ming froze and hastily replied with utmost respect, ”Reporting to the Lord, after Ye Qingchen was suppressed in the Valley of Life and Death, Ye Xuan approached Lu Yanwu and the others, using the Trapping God Pointing on them, sealing their cultivation...”

Before Xiao Ming could finish, a powerful killing intent poured out unreservedly, causing him to tremble. Looking up, he saw the other’s expression had turned extremely grim.

”Good, good, good!” Ye Qingchen nodded heavily, eyes flashing with icy coldness, ”Does the people of Void Peak really think I’d die in the Valley of Life and Death?”

Finished, he clasped his hands behind him, striding away without sparing a glance at those guarding the back mountain. In the void, his voice still echoed:

”Let’s go!”

”We’re heading to Void Peak!”

”I want to see whose life is tougher, or if my sword is sharper!”

”Mr. Ye!”

Zheng Jiuling shivered all over, full of dread.

”Yes, Master!”

Han Buxiu raised his head quickly, eyes full of delight. Just out of the Valley of Life and Death, and already ready to stir up turmoil!

Meanwhile, Zhao Lei beside him couldn’t help trembling all over.

Months ago.

The scene of Ye Qingchen extinguishing the inner gate and almost destroying Void Peak, leading to Marquis Guangjun’s suppression, remained vividly in his mind. In all Taotian Palace, who did not know of this Fierce God?

And now.

This Fierce God has returned?
