"Do I know you?" Feng Wu looked at Qing Luo. "I don't even know who you are, why are you talking to me?"

"What, you've done something guilty and now scared of being called out?" Qing Luo teased deliberately.

"Do I need you to lecture me on what I do?" Feng Wu said displeased.

"Baihua Palace is strictly governed by its rules, and you, as a Saint of Baihua... hehe, what if I went and exposed you, would you die?"

"You!" Feng Wu's face changed.

"What about me?" Qing Luo stood tall, looking at Feng Wu with a proud air.

"Qin Yan, this woman is too wicked, let's just kill her!"

Qing Luo had been jesting but now it was a threat, which made Feng Wu nervous and contemplate silencing her permanently.

"…"

Watching the two women in their standoff, Qin Yan was stunned, having no clue what had happened?!

"Alright, stop fighting you two!" Finally, Ye Chen spoke up, calming the two women. "We're on the same side, we should be uniting to fight against external foes, how can we fight amongst ourselves?"

"Ye Chen, who is this woman, she's not also your woman, right?"

Feng Wu didn't know Qing Luo's identity, but she had an intuition that Ye Chen and Qing Luo had some kind of relationship.

"My name is Qing Luo, I am Qin Yan's best friend in life and death, and also a good friend of Ye Chen!" Qing Luo introduced herself.

"Qing Luo…" Feng Wu pondered for a moment, then seemed to remember something, and exclaimed in shock. "Are you Fairy Qing Luo? With the legendary Heavenly Eye and the strongest among the younger generation?!"

Qing Luo was too well-known, and even Feng Wu knew of her.

The young supremes were unequal in strength, and Qing Luo was among the best. Her Heavenly Eye could shatter all spells, dominating every enemy, making even Feng Wu feel inferior.

Therefore, suddenly seeing Qing Luo in person, Feng Wu was somewhat surprised.

"Indeed, I am Qing Luo," Qing Luo said.

"Are you really just friends?"

Feng Wu looked at Qing Luo for a while, then subconsciously glanced at Ye Chen, seeming to doubt something.

"Of course, we're just friends!" Qing Luo claimed boldly. "Ye Chen is Qin Yan's man, why would I steal her man?"

"…"

Feng Wu, who was originally full of fighting spirit, suddenly became subdued after hearing these words.

"Qin Yan, I won't fight with you for Ye Chen, you can rest assured," Feng Wu came up to Qin Yan and said seriously.

"Feng Wu, are you thinking of escaping?" Ye Chen asked.

"My aspiration is in cultivation."

Feng Wu dreamt of becoming a Saint, not a housewife.

"You've fallen into my trap, and you're thinking of running away?" Ye Chen chuckled.

"…"

"The seal on the temple is about to be lifted, and we'll be able to leave soon," Ye Chen said, looking at the three women. "But we haven't obtained a single Divine Artifact, and I can't bear to leave the temple like this!"

Ye Chen wanted to create an invincible force and needed Divine Artifacts to secure his fate, so he desired as many Divine Artifacts as possible.

"Jin Pengzi has a Divine Artifact; let's attack and snatch it from him!"

Jin Pengzi had cast covetous eyes on Feng Wu before and had even made a move on her. If she hadn't been clever enough, she might have already fallen victim to him.

Therefore, Feng Wu bore some grudge against Jin Pengzi and wanted to use Ye Chen's power to kill this invincible genius of her generation.

Feng Wu knew that Ye Chen was overwhelmingly powerful, capable of earth-shattering feats. Jin Pengzi might be the strongest of their generation, but Ye Chen was certainly not weaker than him, even stronger perhaps.

"Alright, let's go kill Jin Pengzi!" said Ye Chen.

"However, while we search for Jin Pengzi, we should also look out for Luo Badao and the Dragon Clan Heavenly Maiden; all three of these people possess Divine Artifacts. We'll take down whoever we come across!"

Ye Chen aspired to establish a heavenly court like those of myths, where he would sit high above in the nine heavens, with all the Saints worshipping below, acknowledging him as the sovereign.

To have such unprecedented power, Ye Chen wanted to create miracles, for which he had to give up a great deal.

Therefore, Ye Chen started paving the way for himself, plundering all possible resources in preparation for the future!

…

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed, and Ye Chen had been searching for Jin Pengzi and the others, but to no avail.

It was a special period now; not only were Jin Pengzi and several others untraceable, but other prodigies were also in hiding!

The seal of the Ten Thousand Dragon Temple was about to be lifted, and the Dragon Clan still had three Divine Artifacts unrevealed. Everyone was accumulating their strength for the final battle!

Divine Artifacts are the most powerful treasures; even Saints would frantically vie for them, let alone a group of young supremes?

Even Long Chan has chosen to lie low, waiting for the last three Divine Artifacts to emerge.

Night fell, and a sky full of stars unfolded.

Ye Chen found a large cave and started a bonfire at its entrance, wanting to roast some game to eat.

"There are only eight days left until the three-month deadline, and the final three Divine Artifacts still haven't appeared. Could it be that they've been lost?" Qing Luo squatted by the bonfire, looking at the dancing flames and said.

"The kings of the Dragon Clan have been revived. How could they allow the Divine Artifacts to be lost?" Ye Chen said.

"In these last eight days, there will definitely be bloody battles. Let's not waste our energy anymore. Let's lie low and conserve our strength."

Ye Chen wanted to plunder the young supremes, but for the time being, it was just a fantasy because he couldn't find anyone at all.

The Dragon Clan's sanctuary was too vast, with deep seas, barren mountains, deserts, swamps, and dangerous territories. If the young supremes were intent on hiding, they really were difficult to find.

"Ye Chen, there are many creatures in the Dragon Clan's sanctuary. This is a potential crisis!" Qin Yan suddenly said.

"These creatures aren't highly skilled in cultivation; shouldn't they pose no danger?" Ye Chen said in surprise.

"Have you forgotten the Sky-Howling Beast?" Qin Yan said.

"The Sky-Howling Beast?" Ye Chen frowned. "That beast is somewhat terrifying, no weaker than a hall-level character, but wasn't it killed by Long Chan?"

The Sky-Howling Beast was the guardian beast of the Dragon Clan, with extremely terrifying strength. It had once even tried to devour Long Chan, causing quite a disturbance in the sanctuary.

However, after Long Chan became a hall-level character, she slaughtered the Sky-Howling Beast, and many witnessed that battle.

"How glorious the Dragon Clan was back in the day. A Sky-Howling Beast dying is one thing, but there are many more guardian beasts!" Qin Yan said.

"There's something I forgot to tell you. There are many guardian beasts for the Dragon Clan, and each one is extremely powerful. Qing Luo and I once encountered one and almost met a bloody end!"

"What!" Ye Chen was startled for a moment.

"Ye Chen, before your seclusion, a sacred temple emerged, and a soul of nothingness manifested; do you remember that?" Qin Yan said.

"Are you talking about that rock spirit?"

Ye Chen had a deep impression of the rock spirit, because it was incredibly strong, giving off an unfathomable and saint-emerging vibe.

"Exactly!" Qin Yan said. "The rock spirit is the strongest among the guardian beasts, but its existence is too ancient. Now it's entirely focused on attaining the status of Saint and pays no attention to the skirmishes within the sanctuary."

"However, below the rock spirit, there are many terrifying creatures, like the Hell Three-headed Dog we encountered, the Abyss Demon King who indulges in killing, and the Nine-tailed Spirit Fox that is adept in deceiving..., "

Back when the Dragon Clan was at its peak, there were no shortage of guardian beasts. Although many have died of old age, the strong among them have survived. Each of these guardian beasts is exceedingly powerful; even the Sky-Howling Beast ranks among the weakest of them.

"Young supremes are fighting blood-soaked battles, and these creatures are watching closely; there will surely be chaos within these eight days!"

After learning about these circumstances, Ye Chen sensed a storm of blood and violence.

The young supremes of these lands would undergo another round of cleaning, and the number of people who would be able to walk out of the sanctuary when the time comes might be pitifully small!

"It's getting late. You two should rest early; I'm going to meditate on the mountaintop," Fairy Qing Luo said as she stood up, speaking indifferently.

"The meat will be ready soon. Eat before you go," Ye Chen said.

"No need!" After saying that, Qing Luo floated away gracefully, heading to the summit of the mountain.

"Leaving in such a hurry, the meat is all ready... You two stay here for a moment. I'll bring some roasted meat to Qing Luo!" Ye Chen cut off a shiny golden leg of meat and said to Qin Yan and Feng Wu.

"Alright, go ahead," Qin Yan said.

"Whew!" With a leap, Ye Chen soared towards the summit, to bring food to Qing Luo.

"Qin Yan, I'm going to the privy. Are you coming?"

Not long after Ye Chen left, Feng Wu stood up and asked Qin Yan.

"No," Qin Yan gave her a glance. Needing someone to accompany her to use the privy was a princess syndrome that needed to be cured!

"I'll wait here then; I'm off to the privy," Feng Wu made up an excuse and stepped into the woods, swiftly making her way to the mountain's peak.
