The woman in purple!

Princess Zi Xuan!

This is the name Ye Tianchen learned from the mouths of these members of the Qiong Qi Descendants, but as for what kind of existence this woman in purple is in the Qiong Qi Descendants or what role she plays, it is unknown. However, Ye Tianchen is somewhat puzzled that this Princess Zi Xuan does not have the aura of a Demon Beast on her. Could it be she’s human? Or has she cultivated to the point where she can completely restrain the aura of a Demon Beast?

Nonetheless, just by observing the attitude of these Qiong Qi Descendants members, who have considerable cultivation, towards the woman in purple, one can discern a thing or two. This woman in purple definitely holds a high status in the Qiong Qi Descendants!

”What are you all doing here?” the woman in purple asked.

”Reporting to the Princess, we have been ordered by the Supreme Elder to capture this fat Taoist. There are some matters to inquire about!” one of the Qiong Qi Descendants members replied.

”Is it about the Qiong Mao incident?” the woman in purple frowned and continued to ask.

”Precisely!” another member of the Qiong Qi Descendants nodded and said.

The woman in purple glanced at the four members of the Qiong Qi Descendants, then looked at Ye Tianchen, who was standing calmly to the side, then descended from the sky and questioned the four members of the Qiong Qi Descendants: ”Did the Supreme Elder ask you to invite him, or to capture him?”

”This... this... we were told to invite him...” one of the Qiong Qi Descendants members said in a somewhat frightened whisper.

”The Qiong Qi Descendants achieving control of East State’s city is no easy feat, and they aren’t yet so powerful as to act recklessly, yet you all act more domineering than the next. Don’t you understand that there are always others stronger than you? From my perspective, this Taoist’s cultivation realm vastly surpasses yours. If he hadn’t held back earlier, you would have already been annihilated!” The woman in purple deliberately glanced at Ye Tianchen as she spoke.

”The beauty praises too much, I simply don’t like being threatened!” Ye Tianchen nodded and said calmly.

”My name is Zi Xuan!” the woman in purple looked at Ye Tianchen and said.

”I am Tongtian!” Ye Tianchen still maintained his calm demeanor as he said.

”Tongtian... I wonder where the Taoist hails from?” the woman in purple frowned and asked.

”The Heavenly Court!” Ye Tianchen replied with a smile.

”Tongtian... Heavenly Court... Taoist, our Qiong Qi Descendants have some matters that require your assistance this time. We sincerely hope you can lend us a hand, we would be immensely grateful!” Zi Xuan said earnestly.

”Hmm, that sounds alright, but it’s not my duty. I have other matters to attend to, sorry!” Ye Tianchen nodded and said.

No matter what, how could Ye Tianchen possibly go to the Qiong Qi Descendants, a species with which he has an immortal vendetta? He would escape as fast as he could, let alone run to the Qiong Qi Descendants’ territory, isn’t that walking into a trap and courting death?

”Boss, boss, did you notice that the thing this woman in purple is wearing around her neck seems to be made from Immortal Origin Liquid...” the Little Demon Bat Beast whispered.

”Hmm, in that case...” Ye Tianchen was turning his thoughts to ways and means.

At this moment, the woman in purple glanced at Ye Tianchen, thought for a moment, and smiled as she said: ”Taoist, we will not forget your help. If necessary, we will surely offer some compensation!”

”This... well, since you said so, I can’t refuse. I have a little time now, so I’ll go with you!” Ye Tianchen was momentarily stunned and finally said.

”Then thank you very much, Taoist. You all can return!” the woman in purple thanked him and then instructed the four Qiong Qi Descendants members.

The four members of the Qiong Qi Descendants clearly did not dare to defy Princess Zi Xuan’s orders and all retreated, while Ye Tianchen followed behind the woman in purple, walking towards the inside of East State’s city!

”Boss, you... you don’t really intend to go to the Qiong Qi Descendants’ territory, do you? That’s walking into the lion’s den, courting disaster!” the Little Demon Bat Beast said worriedly.

”Why do you think so? You’ve seen it too; the purple-clad woman wears a decoration made from Immortal Origin Liquid on her chest. The Qiong Qi Descendants clan holds a place where Immortal Origin Liquid is found, so there must be a great amount in their territory. If I get the chance, I’ll take it all!” Ye Tianchen communicated to the Little Demon Bat Beast through Divine Thought.

”This... Boss, you’re way too bold. I really admire your courage, but what if they find out?” the Little Demon Bat Beast asked in surprise, also using Divine Thought communication.

”Hehe, well, there’s always a possibility. If we get discovered, we’ll just have to fight or flee. I can’t annihilate the entire Qiong Qi Descendants clan on my own,” Ye Tianchen calmly communicated to the Little Demon Bat Beast through Divine Thought.

Following behind the purple-clad woman, Ye Tianchen didn’t use Qi Manipulation Flight; instead, he walked step by step into East State city. When they reached a corner, the purple-clad woman stopped and spoke, ”Taoist Tongtian, we will soon enter the territory of the Qiong Qi Descendants clan. Please be cautious; they are a very violent species. Although I do not wish to kill indiscriminately, I may not be able to stop them!”

”Really? You don’t seem to be a member of the Qiong Qi Descendants clan. What’s your relationship with them?” Ye Tianchen probed with a smile.

”Hehe, don’t trouble yourself over that, Taoist. I will do my best to keep you safe. You just need to answer truthfully!” Zi Xuan replied with a calm smile.

”Alright!” Ye Tianchen nodded his head.

Following the purple-clad woman, Ye Tianchen entered a grand courtyard. Upon entry, he noticed a powerful Formation existed there. Without the method to unlock it, entering or leaving wouldn’t be easy. Clearly, the Qiong Qi Descendants clan has considerable resources.

Ye Tianchen realized that Zi Xuan led him directly to the Qiong Qi Descendants clan’s martial practice field. The surroundings were empty, apart from some areas piled with giant stones. Next to the practice field were several members of the Qiong Qi Descendants, led by a middle-aged man who immediately flew over upon seeing them.

”Zi Xuan, long time no see. How have you been lately?” The middle-aged man seemed very concerned about the purple-clad woman.

”Senior brother, I heard you were interrogating the Golden-faced Young Master. How is it going?” The purple-clad woman didn’t waste words and asked directly.

The middle-aged man was momentarily stunned, but still smiled and said, ”The Supreme Elder has entrusted me with this task. I’ve already asked most of it; only need this fat Taoist to confront him now!”

”This is Taoist Tongtian, and this is Senior Brother Qiong Hu of our Qiong Qi Descendants clan, also the strongest among our young generation!” Zi Xuan introduced Ye Tianchen.

”Hmm, fat Taoist. I’ve heard that you refuse good intention and accept punishment instead; you better not fail to recognize the situation!” Qiong Hu snorted coldly, looking at Ye Tianchen.

”Qiong Hu? Stronger than Qiong Mao? Why haven’t I heard of you?” Ye Tianchen deliberately taunted.

”You... fat Taoist, this is the territory of our Qiong Qi Descendants clan. Your disregard of consequence could cost your life here!” Qiong Hu threatened Ye Tianchen.

”Is that so? I, Fat Taoist, may lack other skills or any backing, but what I hate most is being coerced...” Ye Tianchen challenged without backing down.

”What if I force you?” Qiong Hu questioned aggressively.

”Fight!” Ye Tianchen countered even more forcefully.

”You...” Qiong Hu trembled with anger, ready to strike. He never expected someone would dare act recklessly in the territory of the Qiong Qi Descendants clan; this fat Taoist truly has guts!

The purple-clad woman glanced at both Qiong Hu and Ye Tianchen, then spoke up, ”Alright, we should focus on interrogating the Golden-faced Young Master. What happened this time is seriously detrimental to the Qiong Qi Descendants clan. I am here on my master’s orders to investigate. Then I must return to Northern State; let’s go interrogate the Golden-faced Young Master first!”

Qiong Hu looked at Ye Tianchen, his eyes showing a hint of killing intent, while Ye Tianchen also didn’t show any signs of fear, remaining extremely composed as he glanced at Qiong Hu. In truth, Ye Tianchen did not underestimate Qiong Hu at all. The purple-clad woman had introduced him as representing the strongest of the young generation in the Qiong Qi Descendants clan, and it was well-deserved because Qiong Hu’s cultivation realm was also at Mid-stage Martial Saint, even stronger than Qiong Mao. Of course, to Ye Tianchen, with his current cultivation realm, defeating Qiong Hu wasn’t difficult; however, Ye Tianchen was currently more interested in things related to Immortal Origin Liquid and didn’t want to alert anyone prematurely!

”Why is there a cauldron here?” Zi Xuan looked at the large cauldron near the stone pillar where the Golden-faced Young Master was bound, and it was roaring with fire; it appeared to be filled with something like boiling oil.

”This cauldron is meant for frying people. Although the Qiong Qi Descendants clan doesn’t eat humans often, it’s not absolute. Those who fail to recognize the situation will end up in the cauldron!” Qiong Hu deliberately looked at Ye Tianchen as he spoke.

Ye Tianchen smiled calmly and responded, ”Does this frying cauldron actually have the power to kill a Martial Artist?”

”Hehe, you underestimate this cauldron. It’s not ordinary oil, but tempered oil. Even those with the most powerful flesh when thrown inside will face utter annihilation!” Qiong Hu said with confident laughter.

”Hmm, I think the Golden-faced Young Master cannot escape; you Qiong Qi Descendants will surely throw him into the cauldron...” Ye Tianchen deliberately said as he walked up to the Golden-faced Young Master!
