The Lone Sword observed his surroundings with his senses before saying in a gloating manner, “I think you better think about her later, there’s many people heading here. There’s even an Astral Realm amongst them. I’ll leave the rest to you!”
Ye Chenyuan looked up to see that many people had indeed arrived.
That’s right, how could the people from the Empire possibly let him obtain the divine sword just like that. It looks like he had a tough battle ahead of him.
——
Meanwhile, the two people led Yuan Chu and Weisheng Ji to a ruined city before heading to an underground area.
“Big brother Zhao! Did you find any food?!”
“Uncle Li, did you run into any monsters?!”
Once the two went in, they were surrounded by five or six people. There were many small bases like theirs, but if they’re still unable to find any food, and if the monsters outside aren’t stopped, it’d be difficult for these people to escape death.
Zhao Xiaodao and Li Huai quickly quieted them down and even got them to kneel before timidly looking behind them. In the past, they’d always had to fight with their lives whenever they went out in search of food because they were no match for any monsters they ran into. But on their way back just now, all the monsters that approached them had been sent flying before they could even get close. This was definitely something that only immortals were capable of.
After giving everyone a quick rundown of Yuan Chu and Weisheng Ji’s matter, all the people started to kowtow, finding it incredible.
Immortals? There’s really immortals in this world?!
Yuan Chu quickly called for them to stand, then seeing these people who had starved to the point of looking emaciated, she looked at Weisheng Ji eagerly. With a wry smile, Weisheng Ji waved his hand and a lot of food appeared on the ground. It was fortunate that while gathering items, he’d still take it no matter how inferior the item was, so there was now food to give them. Otherwise, if it were a higher level item like spirit beast meat, these mortals would definitely explode and die after eating it.
Everyone expressed their thanks before they all gathered around and wolfed down the food.
One of them realised the difference in the food after taking a few bites, “Hmm……as expected of something given by an immortal. After eating it, I can feel that my body is filled with strength!”
“Waaah……it’d be great if my mother was still alive. If she ate something given by a Great Immortal, her leg wouldn’t have caused her to……”
They couldn’t help but to think of the various regrets they had……
Yuan Chu was watching from the side as they alternated between tears and laughter, satisfied looks on their face as they held the food in their hands. They had been living like rats in the darkness but after seeing hope, there was a renewed vitality in their eyes. That’s really nice. Weisheng Ji was originally feeling a little impatient because he had never been this “idle” before. In the past, if he wasn’t looking for treasure, then he’d be looking for treasure and he had never had any dealings with others. After all, he had always been the outcast monster in his childhood so he didn’t intend to make friends now that he had grown up.
But right now……he looked at Yuan Chu who was beaming as she sat at the side. She was looking at them with her chin resting on her hand as she thought about something.
Despite being in this vile environment, Weisheng Ji gradually relaxed.
Nevermind……Yuan Chu was his “elder”. If he didn’t listen to her, he’d get a scolding from his master when he returned, right?
Weisheng Ji thought uncertainly.
When everyone finally calmed down, Yuan Chu couldn’t refrain from asking, “It’s not just the few of you in the city right?”
Li Huai promptly replied, “No. If Great Immortal wants, I’ll go and gather them right away. We’re at your disposal!”
Saying this, he clenched his fists with the appearance of a hero who didn’t fear death.
“Very good!” Yuan Chu got a barrier spirit pearl from Weisheng Ji and passed it to him with a smile, “Call everyone over, the more the better, we’ll be making an all out effort next!”
They all responded enthusiastically to Yuan Chu’s words and cheers suddenly erupted from the pitch-black underground space. The monsters that heard this promptly headed towards the source of this sound. However, regardless of their numbers, they would all die. With the Great Immortal here, they weren’t afraid of anything.

“Kid, hand over the divine sword!”
When the people who had rushed here from near and far saw the divine sword in Ye Chenyuan’s hand, they were so excited that their eyes even turned red.
The divine sword hadn’t been seen in this world for eight thousand years, but once it appeared, it had to be the Empire’s possession, no one should even think about monopolising it.
Ye Chenyuan restrained the White Dragon and Venerable Li who were ready to make trouble. Right now, just the divine sword was more than enough to make them jealous. If the White Dragon were to appear too, these people would become even more unrelenting.
He looked at the people who surrounded him as he said with a sneer, “The divine sword has already acknowledged me as its master. Even if you kill me, it won’t become yours.”
An old man jumped out when he heard this, “When we kill you, it’ll become ownerless. As for what happens after, there’s no need to trouble yourself with it. I will give you two choices, hand it over, or die here!”
With his sword in hand, Ye Chenyuan chuckled, “Obviously, I’ll choose……for you to die here!”
Once he said this, the late stage Nascent Soul old man he provoked immediately made his move towards Ye Chenyuan.
The people here were from aristocratic families or large clans, and there were even some from hidden clans. There were no less than a few hundred people looking at them right now.
Seeing that Ye Chenyuan was fighting with the old man, they had no intention of making their move. They wanted to see how capable Ye Chenyuan was, that the divine sword would acknowledge him as its master.
The one with the highest cultivation amongst them was a mid stage Astral Realm old man. He was also watching from the sidelines, and there was an indistinct flash in his eyes as he pondered over something.
Because the cultivation of the old man who was exchanging blows with Ye Chenyuan was at late stage Nascent Soul, he was slightly disrespectful towards Ye Chenyuan whose cultivation was only at mid stage Nascent Soul.
But who knew that Ye Chenyuan would be even more disrespectful than him. Amidst the dense forest, Ye Chenyuan watched as the old man’s palm strike descended upon him.
However, he didn’t try to avoid it and even stuck the divine sword into the ground beside him. Lifting his robes, he then did a steady martial arts squat with his fists at his side.
Everyone thought that he had gone mad because he was actually thinking of counterattacking with his fists. It was obvious that that old man’s realm was higher than his. Did he want to die?! As hundreds of people looked on from the sky, Ye Chenyuan threw out a fist that looked light as a feather but when it met with the old man’s palm, the head-on collision of two formidable spiritual energies caused all the trees within a hundred li radius to fall over. At once, a circular “battle ground” was cleared out in the forest and those in the sky were more clearly able to see how Ye Chenyuan’s fist had crushed that old man’s hand.
The old man was immediately sent flying and he threw up blood.
Everyone gasped. A late stage Nascent Soul couldn’t even take one move from Ye Chenyuan? This young man was actually that terrifying?! Most of the people here were Nascent Souls, mainly because the divine sword mystic realm had a cultivation level restriction and those over Astral Realm couldn’t enter. If that weren’t the case, any random Ancestor would’ve been able to defeat Ye Chenyuan. But right now, what could they do? After sending that person flying, Ye Chenyuan kept his fighting stance. At this moment, although everyone else was in the sky and he was the only one on the ground, he had an imposing manner, looking as fierce and steady as Mount Tai.
The Lone Sword observed his surroundings with his senses before saying in a gloating manner, “I think you better think about her later, there’s many people heading here. There’s even an Astral Realm amongst them. I’ll leave the rest to you!”
