202: Chapter 202 A Million-Year Feud

"Don't waste your effort; this linglong pagoda is extremely sturdy!"

Xiang Tian leaned against the wall of the pagoda, his tone calm and waveless, carrying a hint of casual mockery.

"Hmph!" Ye Wuqing was trembling with rage but helpless, so she could only let out a fierce cold snort.

Meanwhile, the crowd below had already exploded, their expressions varied. The discussions were even more intense than before.

"How did the Senior Brother suddenly become so strong? He was just suppressed by Xiang Tian, and now he has such prestige!"

"I heard it's their Family's heirloom Magic Treasure, capable of borrowing ancient power!"

"Are you blind? Didn't you see a phantom figure enter his brow earlier? It's clearly that phantom helping him!"

"Could that phantom be the Old Ancestor of his Ye Family? Otherwise, how could there be such strong power?"

"Who knows? This Ye Chen hides too deeply. I've never heard of him having such a trump card before!"

"..."

The Second Elder, watching the match, locked his gaze tightly on Ye Chen, his brows knitted together.

"Could this Ye Chen be a remnant of the Ye Family from back then?"

He suppressed his speculation, not making a sound, just staring intently at the situation on the sparring stage, not daring to relax in the slightest.

Before long, a sound of breaking through the air came. A group of figures sped over, the leader being none other than Master Miaoxian.

"Peak Master Miaoxian is here!" Someone reacted first and shouted loudly.

Hearing this, the crowd below looked up in unison. They turned their gazes to the figure in the high sky and bowed in salute.

"Greetings, Peak Master Miaoxian, greetings, Grand Elder..."

Facing everyone's respectful greetings, Master Miaoxian paid no attention at all, her gaze landing on the sparring stage like cold stars.

When she saw the linglong pagoda around Xiang Tian, her brows furrowed slightly.

"The Baili Family's linglong pagoda, why is it being used for the competition?" Her tone was cold, carrying a hint of confusion.

The Grand Elder beside her also frowned, looking at the sparring stage with a grave expression.

"This matter is suspicious. Second Elder, you tell us the specific situation."

The Second Elder quickly stepped forward and slowly recounted everything that had just happened on the sparring stage.

"What? You say Ye Chen might be a remnant of the Ye Family from back then?" The Grand Elder was stunned.

"Exactly," the Second Elder nodded.

"The phantom that emerged from Ye Chen's brow just now, its appearance and temperament were extremely similar to the Devil Head Ye of that time. It is very likely to be her descendant."

"The Devil Head Ye you speak of, is it the Ye Wuqing who killed without blinking and stirred up the entire Lingyun Continent a million years ago?" Master Miaoxian suddenly interjected, her tone instantly turning icy.

"That's right! It is her!" The Second Elder nodded heavily.

"To think it's a remnant of the Ye Family, then she must be killed!" Murderous intent surged in Master Miaoxian's eyes, and her Aura instantly soared.

A wave of pressure swept down, bearing directly on Ye Chen on the sparring stage.

"Peak Master Miaoxian, you must not!" The Grand Elder quickly stepped forward, reaching out to stop her.

"This matter has not yet been confirmed, so we cannot act rashly! Besides, those are grudges from a million years ago, and may not necessarily have much to do with Ye Chen himself."

But Master Miaoxian could not listen; the anger in her heart had long been ignited. With a flash of her figure, she sped toward Ye Chen.

Before she even arrived, a palm strike containing majestic Qi had already been launched.

"Bang—!"

Ye Wuqing was entirely focused on the linglong pagoda and never expected anyone to suddenly ambush her. Caught off guard, she was struck by this palm.

Her whole body flew backward like a broken kite, crashing onto the sparring stage, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

"Master! We are in the middle of a life-and-death duel! This is my grudge with him, why did you suddenly attack?" Xiang Tian poked his head out from inside the linglong pagoda, full of question marks, looking at Master Miaoxian with confusion.

Master Miaoxian ignored Xiang Tian's question, her gaze locked tightly on Ye Wuqing, who was climbing up from the ground. She did not stop, continuing to press toward her.

Ye Wuqing slowly stood up and raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth. Her murderous intent surged, glaring at Master Miaoxian: "Who are you? How dare you attack this King!"

"Remnant of the Ye Family, prepare to die!" Master Miaoxian shouted coldly. Without any extra nonsense, she launched another palm strike, the palm wind sharp.

"Hmph! Ignorant little girl!" Ye Wuqing snorted coldly. Forcing down the surging Qi and blood in her body, she raised her hand, condensed her Qi, and met Master Miaoxian's palm head-on.

"Bang—!"

The two palms collided violently. A powerful energy shockwave instantly spread out, and both Master Miaoxian and Ye Wuqing retreated several steps. The sparring stage beneath their feet was shaken, cracking into deep gullies.

Master Miaoxian stabilized her figure, her eyes full of astonishment: "How can your strength be so strong? Who exactly are you? You are definitely not an ordinary Disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect!"

Only then did she realize that the person occupying Ye Chen's body was no ordinary person.

Ye Wuqing raised her eyes to look at Master Miaoxian, slightly dazed for a moment. A flash of doubt crossed the bottom of her eyes: "Hmph, little girl, why do I feel like you look familiar?"

She pondered for a moment, then slowly shook her head: "Unlikely, so much time has passed; you must be a descendant of some old friend."

The time span of a million years was too great, and the old friends of that time had long turned into a handful of yellow soil. She really couldn't believe she would meet someone familiar here.

"You... who exactly are you?" Master Miaoxian shouted coldly again, her tone carrying a hint of imperceptible trembling. She also felt a mysteriously familiar Aura from Ye Wuqing. The doubt in her heart grew stronger.

"Little girl, who I am, you will naturally know after you defeat me." Ye Wuqing curled her lips into a mocking smile.

Her figure flashed, and she took the initiative to attack, a palm strike carrying majestic Qi, slapping toward Master Miaoxian.

"Bang—!"

The two traded palms again, this time with even greater power than before. A destructive energy erupted instantly, directly destroying the entire sparring stage.

"Crack—!"

The protective barrier that originally covered the sparring stage finally could not bear the load under this powerful energy impact, shattering and dissipating into the air as points of light.

"It's a good thing I have the linglong pagoda protecting me, otherwise I would have been caught in the crossfire today." Xiang Tian, inside the linglong pagoda, muttered to himself with lingering fear, but his eyes were fixed on the battle outside.

Ye Wuqing soared into the air, looking down at Master Miaoxian, a flash of approval in her eyes.

"In this later age, to actually have a Genius like you is truly rare. Since that's the case, let me show you what a real Genius is!"

"Ruthless Sword!"

Following Ye Wuqing's loud shout, a long sword emitting monstrous Evil Qi appeared out of thin air. The sword body was incomparably huge, comparable to a towering mountain, suspended in mid-air. A strong sense of oppression swept in all directions.

The Heavenly Sword Sect Disciples watching the fun below were so frightened by this oppression that they held their breath instantly, their faces pale.

"Not good! Quickly evacuate all the Disciples; it will be too late if we are any later!" The Grand Elder was shocked and hurriedly shouted loudly.

The other Elders, upon hearing this, did not dare to delay in the slightest. They immediately channeled their Qi, performed secret arts, and quickly transferred the Disciples below to a safe area.

"Fortunately, all the Disciples have finally been moved away." The Second Elder breathed a sigh of relief, his gaze once again cast toward the giant sword in the high sky, his expression grave.

"Elders, pay attention, be on full alert!" The Grand Elder shouted coldly, his gaze locked tightly on that giant sword, his body's Qi already operating to the extreme.

"The Aura of this sword is exactly the same as recorded in the ancient books!"

"Grand Elder, this big sword is exactly the same as recorded in the 'Lingyun Continent Records'!" The Second Elder's brows were tightly locked.

"This person is confirmed; she must be a remnant of the Devil Head Ye's Family!"

"Hmm? No, that's not right," The Grand Elder rummaged through his storage ring and took out a yellowed old book, the pages already worn out; it was indeed the 'Lingyun Continent Records'.

"It is recorded above that the ultimate move used by the Devil Head Ye back then was the 'Ruthless Sword'. For a million years, no second person has been able to perform this move."

He paused, scanned the Elders beside him, and continued: "Moreover, ancient books have never recorded that Ye Wuqing had descendants left in the world."

The Elders, upon hearing this, all frowned tightly, the doubts in their hearts growing deeper. If it was not a descendant, then who was the person in front of them?

"Second Elder, tell me carefully again, what exactly did Ye Chen do at that time? After that phantom entered his brow, was there any other abnormality?" The Grand Elder suddenly had a bold guess in his heart. He needed more evidence to verify his thoughts.

"Yes! At that time, Ye Chen was suppressed by Xiang Tian. With no other way out, he shouted 'Grand Aunt', and then that white-clothed phantom flew out from his sword, immediately entered his brow, and after that, his Aura instantly soared, and his strength became abnormally strong." The Second Elder recalled carefully and said truthfully.

After hearing the Second Elder's words, the Grand Elder's heart skipped a beat. He exclaimed: "Not good! We cannot let Peak Master Miaoxian face this alone. Quickly, follow me to support!"

His figure flashed, and he had already sped toward the direction where Master Miaoxian and Ye Wuqing were fighting.

"What exactly is wrong with the Grand Elder? Why is he suddenly so anxious?" The Second Elder was full of confusion and hurriedly followed. The other Elders did not dare to delay and followed one after another.

"If I'm not mistaken, this person is not a remnant of the Ye Family at all..." The Grand Elder said in a deep voice while speeding. He added, "She is the Devil Head Ye, Ye Wuqing herself!"

As soon as the words fell, the Elders behind him all gasped, their faces full of disbelief.

"How is this possible?" An Elder exclaimed.

"A million years! That is a full million years; how could anyone span such a long time and still survive in the world?"

"Grand Elder, you cannot assert that she is Ye Wuqing herself just based on one sword move, right?" The Second Elder's brows were tightly locked.

"The time span of a million years is too shocking; it is simply impossible to achieve!"

"Talking more is useless; let's go over and see first, and everything will be clear." The Grand Elder did not say more, his speed increased a bit, and he arrived near the battlefield in an instant.

"Peak Master Miaoxian, let me help you!" The voice arrived before the person. The Grand Elder channeled his Qi, his long sword unsheathed, and he stabbed toward Ye Wuqing.

Master Miaoxian was currently tangled with Ye Wuqing and had already fallen into a disadvantage. Hearing the Grand Elder's voice, she looked at Ye Wuqing and said through gritted teeth: "You are Ye Wuqing! I will definitely avenge the blood feud of my Chu Family from back then today!"

Ye Wuqing heard this and laughed. "I didn't expect you to be a descendant of Chu Qi."

"Chu Qi is my brother!" Master Miaoxian shouted angrily. The murderous intent in her eyes became stronger, and the Seven Kill Sword in her hand hummed, emitting sharp Sword Qi.

"Back then you massacred my entire Chu Family; today, I will avenge my brother and everyone in the Chu Family!"

"Hmm? You are Chu Qi's younger sister?" Ye Wuqing was stunned for a moment.

"Impossible! Chu Qi clearly died in battle back then; how could you appear a million years later?"

She was full of disbelief. She remembered the grudges of a million years ago clearly; the entire Chu Family was wiped out, and Chu Qi also died under her sword.

"Take your life!" Master Miaoxian had no extra nonsense. The anger in her heart was completely ignited, and she waved the Seven Kill Sword in her hand. A red Sword Qi slashed toward Ye Wuqing, determined to kill her.

"Seven Kill Sword?" A flash of surprise crossed Ye Wuqing's eyes.

"To think it is this sword; it is indeed a treasure not inferior to my Dao Spirit Sword."

She did not dare to be the slightest bit careless, her figure flashed, and relying on her extremely fast speed, she barely dodged this blow.

"Devil Head, take this sword!" At this time, the Grand Elder and the other Elders also arrived one after another. Their long swords were drawn together, and streams of Sword Qi attacked Ye Wuqing and that giant sword.

"Bang—!"

"Boom—!"

Countless streams of Sword Qi collided with the Ruthless Sword, making a deafening sound. Powerful energy shockwaves swept in all directions, and even the air was twisted.

Ye Wuqing stood in the high sky, looking at the people attacking together below, and curled her lips into a mocking smile: "Alright, I won't play with you anymore; it's time to end this."

"Ruthless Sword, go!"

Following Ye Wuqing's low shout, the huge Ruthless Sword suspended in mid-air instantly erupted with dazzling white light, falling rapidly with the momentum of destroying heaven and earth.

"Not good! Everyone, channel your Qi together and resist together!" The Grand Elder's face changed drastically. He immediately channeled all the Qi in his body, converging it into a powerful Sword Qi, and met the Ruthless Sword.

The other Elders followed suit, gathering all their own Qi. It fused with the Grand Elder's Sword Qi, forming an indestructible defensive barrier.

"Kill!" Master Miaoxian roared wildly. Her eyes were bloodshot, her skin gradually flushed, and the Aura around her body soared again.

Her potential was completely stimulated, and she slashed out an extreme red Sword Qi with the Seven Kill Sword in her hand, carrying monstrous hatred, and slashed toward the Ruthless Sword.

"Not bad, I didn't expect you juniors to be able to join forces to resist my Ruthless Sword." Ye Wuqing looked at the people below, her expression finally becoming grave. This huge sense of oppression had long fed back to her through the giant sword.

"However, do you think this is enough?"

"Devil Head Ye, even if this is not your original body, I will kill you today to avenge the Chu Family and eliminate a scourge for the Lingyun Continent!" Master Miaoxian's eyes were red, her tone resolute. The Seven Kill Sword in her hand slashed out an even more powerful Sword Qi again.
