"Master, why didn't you tell us you were going to leave?"
"Ye Qing, we know you're going to Arid Continent, but since you're a core disciple of Duanren Sect, it's fate that brought us together. Now that you're leaving, of course we have to send you off."
"The Northern Desert is too small for you. Your stage should be the wider Liangzhou. We all understand."
Li Mubai, Murong Zhi, and the rest of the Duanren Sect's higher echelons were waiting for Ye Qing at the entrance. Not for anything else, but to send Ye Qing off and ensure his safety.
"Master, it's very dangerous for you to go to Arid Continent alone. Those Azure Sea Sect bastards might ambush you from the shadows."
Murong Zhi's expression was solemn. During the Three Sects Grand Competition, Ye Qing killed the Azure Sea Sect's Sovereign, Yuwen Zhi. Those Elders definitely wouldn't let this matter rest. They must have sent people to monitor Ye Qing's movements.
"Oh?
Azure Sea Sect, if they dare to come, I'll annihilate the Azure Sea Sect. Before I leave, consider it as doing something for Duanren Sect. "
Ye Qing smiled. The treatment Duanren Sect gave him was not bad. After leaving the Northern Desert, it would be a long time before he returned. If he could annihilate the Azure Sea Sect before he left, Duanren Sect's days would be much better.
"Ye Qing, I don't dare to promise you that we'll annihilate the Azure Sea Sect, but we'll escort you all the way out of the Northern Desert!"
Li Mubai bowed slightly, saying slowly with a sincere expression. As a Sect Master, he dared not put on airs in front of Ye Qing, acting extremely humble.
"En, then all of you come with me. I want to see if those Azure Sea Sect bastards have the guts to come."
Ye Qing smiled and waved his hand. The Duanren Sect's Sect Master, Grand Elder, and more than thirty Core Hall Elders surrounded Ye Qing like stars surrounding the moon, leaving the Duanren Sect in the middle of the night.
Destination: Arid Continent's Heaven's Wall City!
Arid Continent was a county city with a vast territory. There were a total of thirty-six cities, and Heaven's Wall City was one of them. Moreover, it was the closest city to the Northern Desert.
After leaving the Northern Desert, the first place Ye Qing planned to go to was the Heaven's Wall City.
The group of more than 30 people traveled through the night. Three days later, they left the Northern Desert.
Li Mubai and Murong Zhi heaved a sigh of relief as they did not encounter any attacks from the Cang Ming Sect along the way. What they cared about the most was Ye Qing's safety. Now that they had escorted Ye Qing out of the Northern Desert and into a mountain forest, they would soon reach Heaven's Wall City.
Ye Qing was the hope of Duanren Sect's rise, and with Ye Qing's character, he would never forget the benefits of Duanren Sect once he grew stronger in Arid Continent.
"Shush …"
Within the forest, there was a commotion. Ye Qing's heart stirred, and he released his spirit. As expected, he discovered the experts of the Azure Sea Sect. They were all Elders of the Azure Sea Sect's Core Palace, and their cultivation bases were at the Yuan Vein Realm.
"Since you're here, show yourself. Don't hide!"
Murong Zhi harrumphed coldly. Noticing the presence of the Azure Sea Sect's experts, he immediately became vigilant. The reason they escorted Ye Qing was to guard against the Azure Sea Sect.
"They're finally here!"
Li Mubai's expression was solemn. This time, all the Duanren Sect's Yuan Vein Realm experts were here to ensure Ye Qing's safety.
However, the Azure Sea Sect had more Yuan Vein Realm experts, and their overall strength was above the Duanren Sect.
"Li Mubai, Murong Zhi, do you think you can protect Ye Qing by guarding him?
He killed my Azure Sea Sect's Sect Chief, he must pay the price! "
A cold voice sounded as a black-robed old man walked out from the forest. He was the Azure Sea Sect's Grand Elder, and his strength was on par with Yuwen Zhi.
After Yuwen Zhi's death, he became the Azure Sea Sect's new Sect Chief. According to the Azure Sea Sect's rules, if the old Sect Chief died in the hands of the enemy, the new Sect Chief must avenge the old Sect Chief. Otherwise, his position would be unstable.
Initially, the Azure Sea Sect's Grand Elder didn't want to make a move because he was afraid of Ye Qing's stick. However, he mobilized all the Azure Sea Sect's Yuan Vein Realm experts and even invited the Azure Sea Sect's Grand Elder!
Even if Ye Qing's stick was powerful, it could only kill one or two Elders at most. Could he overturn the heavens?
The Azure Sea Sect's Grand Elder held the mentality of fighting to the death. If he couldn't kill Ye Qing and allow Ye Qing to leave the Northern Desert safely, then the Azure Sea Sect would become a laughing stock in the Northern Desert in the future, and their status would plummet.
"Sou!"
In the sky, a white-haired old man flew through the air and landed in the forest. He stood together with the Azure Sea Sect's Grand Elder, and a vigorous and vast aura was released!
He was the Azure Sea Sect's Grand Elder, and his cultivation was far above the Grand Elder. People like Li Mubai and Murong Zhi weren't his match at all.
With the Grand Elder holding the fort, the Azure Sea Sect was confident of victory. This time, they would definitely be able to kill Ye Qing and avenge the Sect Chief!
"Kill!"
The Azure Sea Sect's Grand Elder gave the order, and more than forty Azure Sea Sect's Yuan Vein Realm experts attacked. In terms of numbers, they had the advantage. In terms of high-end combat power, they also had the advantage.
The Grand Elder, Grand Elder, and the Azure Sea Sect's Yuan Vein Realm Elders all charged over together. They only had one target, and that was Ye Qing!
"Boom!"
A violent attack swept over. Li Mubai and Murong Zhi immediately stood in front of Ye Qing to protect him.
"Master, you have to retreat quickly. The Azure Sea Sect's Grand Elder is here. We can't hold on for long!" Murong Zhi said anxiously.
"Retreat?
Are you kidding?
Just retreat. I've said it before. If anyone from the Azure Sea Sect dares to come, I'll destroy them along the way! "
Ye Qing's lips curled into a sinister smile. He pulled out a shiny golden rod. It was the Ruyi Jingu Bang!
Li Mubai and Murong Zhi looked at each other. Although they knew that Ye Qing's Ruyi Jingu Bang was powerful, they still didn't dare to be careless. They still guarded in front of Ye Qing.
"Don't worry. Just a bunch of ants. If they dare to kill me, they'll all die here!"
Ye Qing stepped out. He didn't need Li Mubai and Murong Zhi's protection at all.
Li Mubai and Murong Zhi's expressions changed drastically. They were afraid that Ye Qing would be in danger and quickly chased after him.
In a flash, the Azure Sea Sect's Grand Elder, Grand Elder, and more than forty Yuan Vein Realm experts charged over. They were less than a hundred meters away from Ye Qing. The situation was very dangerous.
"Master, be careful!" Murong Zhi shouted.
"Attack with all your might. We must ensure Ye Qing's safety. Even if we have to pay with our lives, we won't hesitate!" Li Mubai gave the order and the Duanren Sect's Elders rushed forward.
A great battle was about to break out. The atmosphere was tense, but Ye Qing didn't panic. He waved the Ruyi Jingu Bang in his hand. In the blink of an eye, the Ruyi Jingu Bang grew thicker like a mountain, crushing everything in its path.
The Azure Sea Sect's Grand Elder was so frightened that all color drained from his face. His legs went soft and his first thought was to escape. Ye Qing's Ruyi Jingu Bang was too terrifying. That terrifying aura made him shudder from the depths of his soul!
This giant rod wouldn't just kill one or two Azure Sea Sect's Elders. All forty plus Elders present would fall!
This included the Grand Elder and the Grand Elder!
"Boom!"
In the blink of an eye, the giant rod arrived. The Azure Sea Sect's Grand Elder screamed as he melted. He was no match for Huang Xiaolong.
The Grand Elder's body exploded, unable to withstand a single blow. He didn't even have the chance to escape.
"Bam!"
An explosion resounded. The Azure Sea Sect's Elders who were walking at the front had all fallen. Their bodies were smashed to smithereens. They couldn't withstand the terrifying Ruyi Jingu Bang at all.
"This …"
"What a terrifying rod. Run!"
The remaining Azure Sea Sect's Elders were scared out of their wits. They fled for their lives and didn't dare to deal with Ye Qing!
"Run?
That doesn't exist. There's no need for the Azure Sea Sect to continue existing! "
Ye Qing's eyes flashed coldly. All of a sudden, the Ruyi Jingu Bang in his hand moved again. Just like the Journey to the West TV series in his previous life, the giant rod grew and thickened at will. It struck the Azure Sea Sect's Elders until they screamed in despair.
Such a terrifying giant rod definitely exceeded the category of Earth-tier magic treasures. It was extremely terrifying. A Yuan Meridian Realm existence would die with just a touch. There was no room for resistance.
"Boom boom boom!"
The remaining Azure Sea Sect's Elders vanished into thin air, turning into a pile of mud.
Fifteen silver treasure chests appeared in the air. The drop rate wasn't bad. Ye Qing's eyes lit up as he picked up the treasure chests.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for opening the silver treasure chest. You have obtained Mystic upper grade magic treasure, Disguise Mask!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for opening the silver treasure chest. You have obtained 10,000 Spirit Concentration Pills!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for opening the silver treasure chest. You have obtained Mystic upper grade magic treasure, Armor of Thorns!"
More than ten notifications came from the system. Ye Qing had obtained many treasures. Among them, the Armor of Thorns made him suspicious. Wasn't this a piece of equipment from the League of Legends in his previous life?
