Chapter 777 - 776: Revenge
"Ye Qingchen is back! Isn’t this going to cause chaos throughout Void Peak again?"
Zhao Lei stood there, watching as Ye Qingchen led Zheng Jiuling and Han Buxiu towards Void Peak, his heart surging with waves of astonishment.
Zhao Lei, being a disciple of Void Peak, was naturally aware of the internal affairs.
And because of this.
He knew just how terrifying Ye Qingchen truly was!
Just his achievement of dismantling the Law Enforcement Team was enough to make him famous across Void Peak, not to mention he also slew Venerable Yin Mountain, nearly destroying the entire inner sect.
Moreover.
He caused Marquis Guangjun to be personally suppressed by the Sect Leader.
These incidents made many Void Peak disciples wish they could devour him alive!
Then.
There was what everyone knew.
Ye Qingchen was personally sent into the Valley of Life and Death by the Sect Leader; although there was a slender chance of survival within it, the number who had emerged alive was very few.
In the eyes of everyone, Ye Qingchen was already dead.
As for those who were implicated with Ye Qingchen, they naturally did not fare well either. Lu Yanwu, Sea of Zhou, and Lin Shifei, without Ye Qingchen’s protection, first had their cultivation sealed, then were oppressed by everyone.
The people of Void Peak had long vented all their rage against Ye Qingchen onto these three.
Yet.
No one ever imagined.
In just three months, Ye Qingchen had returned from the Valley of Life and Death?
"This isn’t good; I need to spread this news quickly!"
He couldn’t be bothered by Xiao Ming’s shocked expressions; he took off running towards Void Peak, his mind churning tumultuously as he couldn’t help but shout:
"Ye Qingchen is back!"
"The whole Void Peak, perhaps even the entire Taotian Palace, is about to turn upside down!"
Meanwhile.
Ye Qingchen was already standing atop Void Peak with Han Buxiu and Zheng Jiuling. Refusing Han Buxiu’s suggestion to personally search, Ye Qingchen glanced over Void Peak, his eyes narrowing deeply.
Boom!
The next moment.
His immense divine sense surged like a tide, sweeping in all directions. It spanned one square after another, passed through one dwelling after another, and almost instantly, it was like a vast net, completely enveloping Void Peak.
Swish!
In an instant.
Countless streams of information rushed in uncontrollably, filling Ye Qingchen’s mind. Had it been an ordinary person, their mind would have broken under the chaotic influx.
But Ye Qingchen’s divine sense was extremely powerful, showing almost no reaction as he witnessed countless scenes:
He saw Tuoba Ye on the Martial Arts Arena, sweating profusely and wielding a sword continuously; he saw Li Chu standing inside the newly built Task Hall, comparing various tasks; he saw Shen Yu, head tucked, being scolded by her sister Shen Yue...
Yet these were not what he sought!
Ye Qingchen extended his divine sense further, and just as he was about to complete the search, he suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of cold light emerging:
"Found it!"
At this moment.
Void Peak remained tranquil.
But no one anticipated that beneath this tranquility lay the calm before a storm.
Clothes Cleaning Workshop.
This place was the area designated for washing clothes for Taotian Palace disciples, where usually only some background-less servant disciples would be assigned, doing the hardest, most demeaning work.
However, ordinary servant disciples might bribe some stewards and possibly get relocated from here, but for the three people ahead, it was unlikely they would ever leave the Clothes Cleaning Workshop in their lifetime.
Thinking of this, many servant disciples secretly glanced forward at the three people surrounded by a mountain of dirty clothes.
These three were none other than Lu Yanwu, Sea of Zhou, and Lin Shifei.
Among the three, the only girl hailed from Void Peak, a Half-Step Human Immortal in cultivation. To ordinary servant disciples, she was akin to a celestial being, yet her cultivation was sealed, relegated here.
The one overseeing them was also a Human Immortal from Void Peak! Even the stewards of the Clothes Cleaning Workshop would be cautious and smile obsequiously when facing them.
With this in mind, at that moment, a thirty-something steward holding a long whip slapped Lin Shifei on the body, devoid of True Qi protection, tearing the skin open and blood dripped down:
"Dare to slack off, and I’ll skin you alive today. You won’t stop until you finish washing this pile of clothes!"
Lin Shifei clenched his fist but dared not to speak out in anger.
They had tried resisting.
Yet.
With their cultivation sealed, even the ordinary servant disciples of the Clothes Cleaning Workshop could humiliate them, not to mention the stewards and the Human Immortals sent by Ye Xuan specifically to keep watch on them.
The consequence of resistance was even more severe humiliation.
"Steward Liu, if you were to kill these three, it would make it hard for me to report back to Senior Brother Ye Xuan!" Just then, a young man lounging on a Master’s Chair leisurely spoke.
Regardless of Liu Steward’s high position in the Clothes Cleaning Workshop, he couldn’t compare with the Seven Peaks Disciples, could he?
Instantly.
That once arrogant Liu Steward immediately showed a flattering smile and came before the young man, fawning: "Immortal Kong, you are right. But these lowly bones are slacking, completely disrespectful to you! I couldn’t hold my temper and taught him a lesson!"
Kong Xianglei sneered, knowing what this steward was plotting, but having a lackey like Liu Steward saved him a lot of effort.
"Immortal Kong, why did Immortal Ye seal those three’s cultivation personally and send them to the Clothes Cleaning Workshop?" Liu Steward looked at the three from afar, a trace of malice in his eyes: "Why not just kill them! With Immortal Ye’s status and means, naturally he could do it unbeknownst to others!"
"What do you understand? Marquis Guangjun was suppressed by the Sect Leader because of Ye Qingchen, and these three are involved with Ye Qingchen! If we simply kill them, wouldn’t it be too easy for them! Also, everyone would know it was done by Senior Brother Ye Xuan?"
Kong Xianglei quietly scanned Liu Steward, a trace of ridicule flickering in his eyes, slowly shaking his head:
"Ye Qingchen is simply audacious, daring to take on the Law Enforcement Team, daring to go against Marquis Guangjun. Senior Brother Ye Xuan couldn’t swallow this resentment, so he dealt with these three!"
"It’s a pity that the little dog Ye Qingchen was suppressed in the Valley of Life and Death and likely already dead inside; it also counts as a convenience for him..." Steward Liu said, flattering.
However.
Before the voice fell.
Suddenly.
A tremendous force plummeted down, directly hitting Steward Liu, under countless shocked gazes, forcing him to kneel on the ground, prostrate.
At the same time.
A cold voice suddenly transmitted from the void:
"Who said I died in the Valley of Life and Death?"
