How dare you! Let me see...

He didn't want to deal with these troubles endlessly.

Since the matter had already come to him, he had to eradicate the root of the problem and settle it once and for all!

Heavenly Wolf Sect, is it?

Since it's endless, then there's no need for it to exist any longer!

Now, it seemed these Heavenly Wolf Sect people were trying to locate his position based on this blood imprint... Ye Qing's mind stirred slightly.

His Divine Thought thoroughly examined the blood imprint, inside and out, understanding it completely in an instant.

Thus, Ye Qing discovered that this was a Spell imprint.

Its conception was somewhat ingenious, with many seemingly complex decoy Talismans set up outside the core of the Spell.

However, seeing through it was not difficult.

Ye Qing merely made a slight adjustment to the Spell's structural composition, and then he could use this blood imprint to reversely lock onto the positions of those powerful experts from the Heavenly Wolf Sect!

In that case...

This blood imprint would be kept for now.

It saved him the trouble of having to search for them one by one.

The next moment, Ye Qing's mind stirred.

Hum!

A faint, almost imperceptible red glint suddenly flashed in the eyes of the Blood Wolf Imprint above his head.

It turned out Ye Qing had already used this imprint to reversely sense an extremely powerful aura.

It was rushing towards Eternal Brightness City at a shocking speed.

Perfect timing...

Ye Qing raised an eyebrow slightly, thinking to himself that this saved him an extra trip.

So he turned and stepped forward.

He actually intended to head straight out to meet it, resolving this trouble midway.

However, the moment he moved, a kind-hearted old man among the still-shaken onlookers near Flowery Full Pavilion couldn't help but shout loudly:

"Young friend! Run! Don't hesitate!"

"That Heavenly Wolf Sect is the overlord of this region, deeply entrenched and powerful, definitely not something one person can stand against!"

"You killed Li Tianxing; the Sect Master of the Heavenly Wolf Sect will surely be furious. He himself is probably on his way here right now. You're no match for him!"

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately drew a chorus of agreement.

"Yes! Little brother, listen to my advice, find a way to escape quickly! The Heavenly Wolf Sect's strength far exceeds your imagination!"

"I remember, three hundred years ago, there was a force in this region called 'Thunderbolt Pavilion'. Its Pavilion Master was a genuine great expert at the Spirit Transformation Stage, Third Level! How awe-inspiring that person was at the time! Just because he refused to submit to the Heavenly Wolf Sect, blocking their path to unification, the result..."

At this point, the speaker paused, a deep look of fear appearing on his face.

"What was the result?"

Hearing such a secret, someone, itching with curiosity, couldn't help but ask.

"The result... overnight, everyone in Thunderbolt Pavilion, from the Pavilion Master down to the servants, over three thousand seven hundred people, were all slaughtered! It's said that night, a great storm raged, bloody lightning intertwined above Thunderbolt Pavilion, thunder rumbled, and the night was filled with shrill roars. The next day, someone gathered their courage to look—the blood there had gathered into rivers! Bones were piled like mountains!"

"Hiss!"

A wave of sharp intakes of breath rose and fell.

A Sect with a Spirit Transformation Stage, Third Level expert was just wiped out overnight!

The Heavenly Wolf Sect's power was simply terrifying!

"No matter how strong one person is, how could they possibly withstand the suppression of a mountain formed by many?"

"Moreover, when the Heavenly Wolf Sect descends, it's a hundred, a thousand times more terrifying than a mountain collapsing!"

"Exactly! It's said that the Heavenly Wolf Sect's Sect Master, Li Cang, has unfathomable cultivation. Some speculate he has probably reached the terrifying Realm of Spirit Transformation Fifth Layer!"

Spirit Transformation Fifth Layer!

As soon as these four words were spoken, the scene fell dead silent.

Everyone looked at Ye Qing with sympathy and pity, as if looking at a dead man.

Listening to the surrounding discussions, Ye Qing just shook his head slightly.

Spirit Transformation Fifth Layer, huh?

Well... eh, average.

However, he didn't need to explain anything to these people.

With one step, his figure shot into the sky like a green flash of lightning, heading straight towards the direction from which that aura came.

"This..."

Everyone blinked, somewhat unable to react.

Someone subconsciously murmured:

"He... is he fleeing because he realizes he's no match?"

As soon as the words fell, a calm voice came from high in the sky, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

"Not fleeing. Don't pour out my food; I'll be back to finish it."

The voice was ethereal, the person already far away.

He left behind a crowd of stunned onlookers, looking at each other in bewilderment.

At a time like this, he's still worried about his food?

"He... what does he mean by that?"

"It sounds to me... like he's... actively going to cause trouble for the Heavenly Wolf Sect?"

A person next to him widened his eyes, guessing in a highly uncertain tone.

As soon as this was said, the scene instantly erupted in an uproar!

"Mad! This person is absolutely mad!"

"Actively seeking out the Heavenly Wolf Sect? What's the difference between that and actively seeking death?!"

"I've cultivated for five hundred years and never seen such an arrogant person! Who does he think he is?!"

Everyone discussed fervently.

They all kept shaking their heads, feeling Ye Qing's action was no different from a moth flying into a flame, courting his own doom.

But, looking at Ye Qing's disappearing back against the sky.

In the end, someone couldn't help but feel a trace of curiosity.

Subconsciously saying:

"Tell me, where does he, alone, get the confidence to dare actively clash head-on with the Heavenly Wolf Sect?"

"Is it possible... he's really that strong, strong enough to crush the entire Heavenly Wolf Sect, hence such confidence?"

As soon as this thought emerged, someone immediately scoffed, shaking his head and waving his hand:

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"In this region, the strongest Cultivator on the surface is only at the Spirit Transformation Fifth Layer!"

"Observing this person's bone age, he's excessively young. If he had reached Spirit Transformation Second Layer, that would already be Heaven-Defying among Heaven-Defying! Spirit Transformation Fifth Layer? How could that be possible!"

"Right, challenging a Sect Master across three Realms within the Spirit Transformation Stage? Such an act is simply unheard of!"

Hearing this, everyone nodded, feeling this made sense.

But the person who spoke earlier still subconsciously retorted: "But... but what if he's really stronger than Spirit Transformation Fifth Layer?"

Everyone was immediately stunned.

This... Just then, a middle-aged Cultivator dressed in fine clothes in the crowd suddenly had his eyes light up.

He spoke up:

"Don't worry, everyone! I happen to have a 'Linglong Shadow Mirror'. Within a certain range, it can show the scene of a target!"

"From here to the Heavenly Wolf Sect's territory, it's just within the range of my treasure mirror!"

Saying this, he formed a hand seal and began chanting incantations.

"Let me gather a wisp of the aura left by that green-robed man just now... Done!"

"Everyone, watch!"

As his words fell, he flipped his palm, and an ancient bronze mirror appeared out of thin air.

Under the infusion of his magic power.

The bronze mirror emitted a hazy treasure light, and with a *whoosh*, projected a clear screen in mid-air.

On the screen, Ye Qing's figure was flying amidst the clouds, his robes fluttering, his expression calm.

And ahead of him, in the distant sky, a figure tore through the cloud layer, arriving in an instant!

It was a middle-aged man with a cold, stern face, wearing black and gold robes.

His eyes were like a hawk's, filled with a visible icy killing intent.

He arrived on the scene and simply stood there.

Boom!

A terrifying pressure instantly spread out.

It even made the people in front of the screen feel their hearts race, as if their Divine Souls were trembling!

"Spirit Transformation Fifth Layer! It really is Spirit Transformation Fifth Layer!"

"This person... is the Heavenly Wolf Sect's Sect Master, Li Cang!"

As soon as they saw the person appearing in the mirror, the people in Eternal Brightness City couldn't help but exclaim in unison.

Someone even shook his head with a sigh, a look of pity appearing on his face.

"It's over... this is completely over!"

"Li Tianxing's death indeed provoked this killing god's wrath, making him personally take action!"

"With a genuine Spirit Transformation Fifth Layer expert right before him, who in this nearby region could possibly stand against it?"

In everyone's view, Ye Qing's fate was already sealed.

At the same time, on the screen.

Li Cang's icy gaze locked firmly onto Ye Qing.

When he saw the crystal-clear Blood Wolf Imprint above Ye Qing's head, his face instantly twisted into a snarl.

That was the life-soul imprint belonging to his only son!

"Bastard! You! Deserve! Death!"

Li Cang spat the words out one by one, his voice seeming to come from the Nine Nether Abyss, filled with venom.

He didn't even want to waste another word. Without further ado, he raised his hand and swept it out!

Boom!!!

In an instant, the wind and clouds changed color!

The originally clear sky was, in that moment, enveloped by endless dark clouds, turning from day to night!

Dark clouds pressed down upon the city, thunder roared!

Within the rolling thunderclouds, faintly, it seemed as if countless Heavenly Wolves were galloping, emitting earth-shaking roars!

"Awooo—!"

The next moment, thick bolts of lightning, as large as barrels,

completely condensed into the form of Heavenly Wolves, carrying an aura that could destroy everything,

suddenly and fiercely rained down towards Ye Qing below!

This Spell was terrifying in its power, seemingly capable of stirring the forces of nature!

Seeing this, a trace of surprise actually appeared in Ye Qing's eyes.

It must be said, compared to the barren Eastern Region.

The Cultivators of the Central Region indeed had their unique aspects in terms of Spell methods.

Techniques like this, connecting with celestial phenomena, stirring the might of heaven and earth within a certain range, and then controlling it with one's own will.

In the Eastern Region, he had never seen anyone perform such a thing.

However... Ye Qing just lightly swept it with his Divine Thought and saw through the construction principle of this Spell.

He first nodded, then shook his head.

He nodded because this Spell indeed gave him some new inspiration.

He shook his head because,

after using this bit of inspiration to instantly deduce several more exquisite and profound Spells in his mind,

looking back at Li Cang's move, he felt it was... crude and shoddy.

Difficult to look at, simplistic, just like a child's scribbles, full of flaws at a glance.

Thus, Ye Qing's mind stirred.

Swoosh!

A faint, almost imperceptible sword light flashed from his fingertip and vanished.

The next moment, the sky full of rolling thunderclouds, the roaring, furious Thunder Wolves,

the vast momentum enough to blast a great city into dust... with a *whoosh*, instantly vanished without a trace!

The sky returned to clear once more.

As if the world-destroying scene from just moments ago had never occurred.

"Hmm?"

Li Cang showed a look of astonishment, his pupils suddenly contracting.

Before he could even figure out why his full-force strike had been so easily broken,

he saw the green-robed youth opposite him move, transforming into a stream of light that sped past him.

Judging by the direction, it seemed he was completely ignoring him, flying straight towards the direction of the Heavenly Wolf Sect's Sect Gate.

Li Cang couldn't help but feel puzzled, then a wave of cold laughter surged in his heart.

Arrogant!

Truly arrogant to the extreme!

Merely breaking one of my moves in front of a powerhouse like me at the Spirit Transformation Fifth Layer.

Although he has some skill, to dare be so disdainful, flying right past me?

Looking down on me like this?!

Heaven's arrogance brings rain, man's arrogance brings disaster. With such arrogance, kid, you will pay the price!

If I were that green-robed kid just now, I would have seized the opportunity to press the advantage, not been so overconfident!

Hmph! Fine, since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish!

Let's see how I exterminate you... Huh?

Wait!

Just as Li Cang was about to channel his magic power to attack again, he suddenly froze.

He found that his vision before him seemed to be... turning dark?

What was happening?

He subconsciously tried to mobilize his magic power to investigate himself.

Only to find that the magic power within his body was like a stagnant pool, showing no reaction at all.

He lowered his head in confusion.

Only then did he finally understand.

So, his body, starting from his feet, was turning to dust inch by inch!

That green-robed man... he wasn't being disdainful and not attacking.

Rather... he had already attacked!

How laughable that he, Li Cang, was completely oblivious, not even noticing when or how the other had struck... A bitterness and horror welled up in Li Cang's heart.

This person... what level of existence is he?!

My son... why on earth did my son provoke such a terrifying being... Wait!

He killed me, and now... what is he going to do?

Judging by his direction... In the last instant before death, a flash of insight crossed Li Cang's mind.

He suddenly realized something, his eyes filled with terror and despair.

He realized that Ye Qing wasn't troubled by the blood imprint at all. On the contrary, it seemed he had completely taken control of it!

Now, he was following the blood imprint's guidance, heading straight for the Heavenly Wolf Sect's Sect Gate!

Li Cang let out a silent sigh in his heart.

My Heavenly Wolf Sect's foundation... is... finished!

... With the death and Dao dissipation of the Heavenly Wolf Sect's Sect Master Li Cang, another, even more solid crimson Heavenly Wolf Imprint appeared above Ye Qing's head.

Ye Qing paid it no mind, transforming into a sword light, his speed reaching the extreme.

Soon, a range of undulating, Spirit Qi-misty mountains appeared within his sight.

That was the location of the Heavenly Wolf Sect's headquarters.

Ye Qing didn't pause in the slightest. His figure shot straight towards the Heavenly Wolf Sect's Sect Gate like a sharp sword.

His brazen action immediately drew the attention of the Cultivators within the Heavenly Wolf Sect.

"How dare you!"

An angry roar came from a mountain peak below.

"This is Heavenly Wolf Sect territory. Who are you, to dare trespass..."

A figure shot into the sky, his words cutting off halfway.

Because he clearly saw the two glaringly bright Blood Wolf Imprints above Ye Qing's head!

"Blood Wolf Imprint?!"

That Heavenly Wolf Sect Cultivator was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage!

"How audacious! You have the gall of a dog! You dare kill our Heavenly Wolf Sect members! You're finished! There will be no place for you in heaven or on earth!"

"Men! Form the formation! Kill him!"

At the same time, he formed a hand seal, muttering to himself:

"Let me see, which important figure you have killed..."
