Nine Revolutions Star Technique

Luo Zhi was the Sect Leader of the Luo Family of Ice City; in a certain sense, he represented Luo Yunfei.

Since he had come this time, he was inevitably here to convey Luo Yunfei’s will.

”Mr. Ye, you are indeed powerful, even already hailed as the strongest of the younger generation. But don’t forget, no matter how strong you are, you’re still just one man!”

Luo Zhi gave a faint smile, neither humble nor arrogant, and said:

”Yet what you’re facing is our entire Luo Family, the thousand-year foundation of our Luo Family!”

”If you retreat before tonight, our Luo Family will act as if nothing ever happened, and we will present our apology. Otherwise, it will be a fight to the death with no end! I advise you to think it over carefully!”

With that said.

Luo Zhi gave a slight bow, turned around, and left.

Looking at Luo Zhi’s face full of arrogance, Tang Mei’Er’s eyes revealed a trace of worry:

”Mr. Ye, why don’t we just stop here? Even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone an Earth Immortal. When that time comes, what we might face is the Luo Family’s desperate counterattack!”

Ye Qingchen sat upright in silence, his fingers lightly tapping the tabletop, lost in thought about something.

...

”Patriarch, do you think Ye Qingchen will pull back?”

Outside the restaurant.

Someone asked in a low voice.

One must know.

All along the way, in order to block Ye Qingchen, the Luo Family had mobilized who knew how many forces. Yet nobody had expected that they wouldn’t be able to stop his advance at all, and could only watch helplessly as Ye Qingchen slaughtered his way right to the gates of Cold Moon City.

Cold Moon City!

This was the Luo Family’s last line of defense. Once Ye Qingchen broke through it, the entire Luo Family, the entire Ice City, would be completely exposed before Ye Qingchen.

Therefore.

Even Luo Yunfei had no choice but to lower his head at this moment, even to the point of offering apologies and choosing to show goodwill!

”He shouldn’t.” Luo Zhi slowly shook his head and said, ”Back outside Ice Crystal Lake, Elder Luo Xiang had already expressed his desire to reconcile, yet he was still blasted to death by a single palm strike from him!”

”A genius like that is bound to be an unbridled and unruly sort. How could he possibly bow his head so easily?”

”Moreover, in my opinion, not only will he not leave Cold Moon City today, he might even settle down here for a stay…”

”Then what should we do?”

Upon hearing this, everyone shuddered in shock.

Could it be.

That their Luo Family was really going to be razed to the ground by such a young man?

Seeing the worry and anxiety on everyone’s faces, Luo Zhi let out a cold laugh and shook his head.

So what if Ye Qingchen was powerful? With the vast momentum of the Luo Family, they could easily crush him to death. The reason he suddenly stopped in Cold Moon City today was nothing more than to stall for time!

”Ye Qingchen, I already gave you a chance, but unfortunately you didn’t cherish it…”

Luo Zhi’s face was full of a cold smirk.

...

To Ye Qingchen.

Luo Zhi’s appearance was nothing more than a minor interlude. Not only did he have no intention of leaving, he was even swaggering around Cold Moon City with Tang Mei’Er.

Of course!

To the citizens within Cold Moon City, at first they also thought Luo Zhi’s appearance was merely a verbal warning from that Earth Immortal of the Luo Family toward Ye Qingchen. Ye Qingchen had slaughtered his way here almost unstoppably; if the Luo Family truly had the ability, they would have long since taken action themselves to suppress Ye Qingchen!

However.

Gradually, they realized something was wrong.

Within Cold Moon City, those people of status and reputation, after hearing what had happened at the restaurant earlier that day, almost without any hesitation, rolled up their bedding, took their families, and fled as if escaping a calamity.

In an instant, the entire Cold Moon City became like a land in the midst of war and chaos!

”Look at those lords who’re usually so arrogant, never deigning to look anyone in the eye. Now they’re scared like rabbits. Ye Qingchen has almost fought all the way to the Luo Family’s doorstep; what power do they have left to stop him?”

At the city gate.

A new recruit, hugging his spear and standing ramrod straight like a javelin, looked at those Major Race and noble families fleeing like refugees, his eyes full of ridicule.

”What do you know? The Luo Family’s thousand-year foundation is beyond your imagination,” another old soldier leaning against the wall said, adopting a tone full of lecturing-the-newcomer, ”Otherwise, why would these noble lords be running away?”

The recruit, hearing this, said nothing, but he didn’t believe it in the slightest.

In his view.

If the Luo Family truly possessed overwhelming might, they could simply crush down like a collapsing mountain; why would they need Luo Zhi, the head of the Luo Family himself, to personally go warn Ye Qingchen?

The old soldier beside him frowned slightly at this and was about to scold him, when suddenly his gaze froze, staring dumbly into the distance as he blurted out:

”He’s here!”

”Who’s here?” The recruit, utterly confused, quickly looked over.

Only to see.

In the distance.

A figure slowly stepped through the sky toward them.

It was a decrepit old man, his body almost shrunken by half, only a little taller than a child. Yet his entire being was shrouded in a boiling blaze of fury; flames roared, surging up as if to pierce the heavens, dyeing half the sky a blazing red!

In everyone’s eyes, he was like a blazing meteor, a mass of falling fire; just one glance made their eyes water uncontrollably.

Even from a great distance, they could feel the scorching heat radiating from his body!

”Who is he?”

Watching this presence radiating vigorous power step into Cold Moon City one step at a time, the recruit could no longer suppress the shock in his heart and hurriedly asked.

”Half-Step Earth Immortal, Wu Gonghong!” The old soldier stared deeply at that retreating back, with stormy waves surging in his heart. ”The Luo Family’s retaliation has come. I knew it—since the Luo Family issued a warning, they would definitely come down with full force!”

”But this is only one Half-Step Earth Immortal. How can he be Ye Qingchen’s match?” The recruit was somewhat unconvinced.

Crash!

Before he finished speaking, a peal of thunder suddenly exploded.

Everyone snapped their heads up.

They saw a streak of violet lightning shoot out from the edge of the sky, tearing across the firmament as if to rip it apart. When they first spotted it, it was still at the point where heaven and earth met; when they looked again, it had already shot across the sky above Cold Moon City.

Within that lightning was a man in purple robes, like an Ancient Thunder God!

He sliced through the void at incredible speed, like a wild thunderbolt descending from the Ninth Heaven, landing inside Cold Moon City almost in an instant.

”Another Half-Step Earth Immortal!”

Everyone drew in a sharp breath.

”Half-Step Earth Immortal, Di Kong!”

The old soldier pronounced each word clearly.

And this.

Was only the beginning.

Next, under the disbelieving gazes of the crowd, those Half-Step Earth Immortals who were usually lofty and untouchable, like Divine Dragons in the heavens whose heads could be glimpsed but not their tails, appeared one after another in Cold Moon City as if Celestial Gods were descending.

One, two, three…

Eleven, twelve, thirteen…

A total of twenty-seven Half-Step Earth Immortals!

This time.

Even the dullest person realized that Ye Qingchen was in serious trouble!

As time passed.

The setting sun sank westward, and darkness, like a curtain of heaven, slowly swept in.

When the last ray of sunlight disappeared below the horizon.

Ye Qingchen suddenly opened his eyes. Standing with his hands behind his back, he looked at the massive Cold Moon City:

”Is everyone here already?”

”It’s time to close the net!”
