"This expedition to the Baihua Palace resulted in heavy losses, not only losing countless elite disciples, but even supreme leaders suffered fatalities!"

"Chu Qing, Bai Ning, Wei Xiang, and Yi Ran all perished, their souls dispersed to the heavens and earth!"

"Tian Yu, Lingyun, Qi Li, and Qin Yue suffered severe injuries, their wounds are yet to heal!"

"Qian Qiu, Zi Yan, Qing Ya, and Mei Can had their life palaces shattered, barely surviving. However, their cultivation is gone, and they have become cripples!"

"All twelve Golden Hairpins are injured, this is a huge blow. It's a pity the Dragon Maiden is protected by the Seven Saints, otherwise, I would have killed her!"

This trip to the void was a huge loss for the Baihua Palace, losing countless elite disciples, and the twelve Golden Hairpins all sustained casualties.

Chu Qing, Bai Ning, Wei Xiang, and Yi Ran, four supreme leaders, died in battle.

Qian Qiu, Zi Yan, Qing Ya, and Mei Can were beaten into cripples.

The slightly better-off Tian Yu, Lingyun, Qin Yue, and Qi Li were also injured and have not recovered their vitality till now.

This was all slaughter caused by Long Chan with the souls of all beings imbued in her!

In fact, this void trip was not just a heavy loss for the Baihua Palace, it was also serious for other forces.

But fortunately, a group of young supremes entered the Ten Thousand Dragon Hall and brought out countless treasures, which could offset these losses and even earn them a bit more.

However, there were also unlucky superpowers, where not only the disciples and supreme leaders suffered casualties, but even the young supremes were lost.

If it wasn't for Dragon Esteem's mix of grace and might, throwing out some treasures to appease the matter, there would have been a bloody battle here long ago.

Qin Yan and Feng Wu brought out some treasures comparable to a divine treasury, but the Baihua Palace's losses were too great, and these treasures couldn't offset the damage.

Saint was always guarding here, just to welcome Ye Chen's arrival and see what he had gained.

If Ye Chen got nothing, then the Baihua Palace would be truly miserable.

However, everyone said Ye Chen had obtained a divine artifact, which made the Saint somewhat relieved.

As long as Ye Chen brings out a divine artifact, even if it's just one, the Baihua Palace will not only have no losses, but will also earn a fortune!

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, the Saint gently furrowed her brows, her eyes slightly narrowing, looking at the Ten Thousand Dragon Hall.

She felt a ripple; someone was traversing the void, coming from the hall to the outside world.

Could it be Ye Chen?

The Saint greatly anticipated seeing Ye Chen, to check what this invincible male cultivator, their Baihua Palace's male cultivator, had gained.

"The Dragon Maiden!" Qin Yan and Feng Wu's faces changed as they spoke.

A figure walked out from the Ten Thousand Dragon Hall, both of them thought it was Ye Chen, but who would have thought it was Long Chan that appeared!

If Ye Chen and Long Chan were fighting, then with Long Chan appearing now and Ye Chen not showing up, doesn't that mean...

Qin Yan and Feng Wu exchanged glances, both filled with an inexplicable worry, fearful that Ye Chen met with misfortune.

Even though they had full confidence in Ye Chen, the present facts made them unable to help but believe otherwise.

"Dragon Maiden, you've slaughtered countless strong individuals, causing great losses to the major forces, and you still dare to appear again?" The moment Long Chan appeared, the Saint from Baihua Palace erupted.

The Baihua Palace lost countless disciples, with twelve Golden Hairpins suffering great casualties, a loss that couldn't be ignored.

Long Chan, as the main culprit, a ruthless slayer, dares to boldly show herself, driving the Saint into furious anger.

"The void land is the home of my Dragon Clan, why wouldn't I dare appear? Am I not allowed to return home?" Long Chan looked at the Saint fearlessly.

"Die!"

The Saint's anger couldn't be appeased; she struck out fiercely towards Long Chan, intending to kill her to quell her rage.

"Boom!"

The Saint came pressing hard, and Long Chan wasn't weak either. Five divine artifacts soared into the sky, bursting brilliantly to counter the Saint.

"Five divine artifacts!" The Saint's face changed.

Long Chan's cultivation was mediocre, posing no threat to the Saint. However, the power of the five divine artifacts combined posed some danger to her.

"You haven't entered the Saint Realm, making it impossible to be invincible. The divine artifacts in your hands only dim their glory... hand them over to me for proper control!"

In that moment, the Saint erupted with boundless divine might, a flower of the Dao bloomed on her, pressing strongly towards Long Chan, intending to seize the five divine artifacts.

Divine artifacts are ultimate divine weapons. In the hands of a Saint, they can sweep across the world, become ultimately invincible.

But Long Chan couldn't unleash the full power of the artifacts, making them a liability, sought after by others.

"Boom!"

The Dragon God armor emitted chaotic Sword Qi, attempting to injure, but the Saint blocked it with a single palm, dimming its light and sending it reeling back.

The Dragon God helm fell from the sky, carrying the power to suppress the world, but the Saint turned her palm into a fist, launching it with one punch.

"..."

The Saint's power was daunting, forcing Long Chan, despite controlling five divine artifacts, into a retreat.

Moreover, the Saint's figure flickered across the heavens, her jade hands striking at the artifacts, wanting to seize them through sheer force.

"Is this the gap between me and a Saint?" Long Chan murmured, watching the Saint's formidable might. "Even with five divine artifacts, I cannot match a Saint's power, only getting crushed, in grave danger..."

Long Chan's power far surpassed her peers, second only to the white-robed man, easily crushing hall-level figures.

At this moment, she had five divine artifacts: the Dragon God armor for supreme defense, and the Dragon God spear for supreme attack, she should be invincible.

But with the Saint pressing, she could only barely resist, and barely survive, making Long Chan feel somewhat defeated.

Long Chan thought of Yan Hun's warning, divine artifacts are ultimately external, the strongest is oneself!

"..."

The Dragon Clan still has a formidable enemy, and revenge cannot rely solely on the Seven Saints. Long Chan also wants to get involved; she longs to grow stronger!

"Die!"

The female saint's fury engulfed the heavens and earth, a great flower of the Dao manifested and rushed toward Long Chan to deliver a fatal blow.

"Boom!"

Just as Long Chan was about to be struck, an immense fist suddenly appeared, infinitely enlarged, emanating an invincible might, and shattered the great flower of the Dao with one punch.

"Saint Jue Qing, are you trying to bully the weak?"

A majestic man appeared, stepping out of the void. His presence was filled with authority, as if he could crush eternal ages.

"Dragon Esteem!" Saint Jue Qing's eyes flashed with trepidation upon seeing him.

Long Chan had caused too much bloodshed, creating mountains of corpses and rivers of blood. However, none of the major powers pursued this matter, purely because of Dragon Esteem's presence.

This War God of the Dragon Clan was incredibly powerful; even ten thousand years ago, he was the top saint. Who could predict the extent of his terror now?

"Dragon Esteem, your daughter slaughtered countless souls. Are we just going to let this slide?" Saint Jue Qing said.

"What do you propose then?" Dragon Esteem asked.

Previously, several dozen saints had surrounded his door, forcing Dragon Esteem to lower his stance under pressure and make amends to resolve the enmity.

But now, faced with just one opponent, Dragon Esteem didn't take it seriously and even disdained to acknowledge it.

"Dragon Esteem, aren't you afraid of provoking others with your arrogance?" Saint Jue Qing said angrily.

"And what if I provoke you?" Dragon Esteem's powerful aura made it hard for anyone to breathe.

"Do you think you are invincible?" Saint Jue Qing said. "Among the hundred saints of Canglan, there are surely those who can rival you!"

"You're just a junior, not qualified to talk to me. Bring out Qing Ge to see me!" Dragon Esteem said arrogantly.

Saint Jue Qing was the vice-master of Baihua Palace, while Saint Qing Ge was the palace master and the strongest figure in Baihua Palace!

"Qing Ge is venturing in the forbidden zone of life. If she were to descend here, do you think you could still act so rampant?" Saint Jue Qing said.

"Haha, you truly know how to jest!" Dragon Esteem's laughter shook the skies. "When I was invincible in the world, Qing Ge had just entered the Saint Realm and would address me as elder brother. Do you think she can suppress me? Does she dare to suppress me?"

Dragon Esteem, ruler of the ages, had created countless glories. The more ancient a figure, the more acutely they felt his terror.

Saint Jue Qing had become a saint in recent times and had never experienced Dragon Esteem's terror, so he was somewhat overconfident.

"Baihua Palace has a male disciple who is still within the Ten Thousand Dragons Hall. Did he fall into your hands?" Saint Jue Qing asked.

Ye Chen's prolonged absence made her anxious, sensing that something might have gone wrong.

"Are you speaking of Ye Chen?" Dragon Esteem said, standing with his hands behind his back, towering in the sky.

"Indeed!" Saint Jue Qing replied.

"..."

Dragon Esteem seemed to recognize Ye Chen, which left Qin Yan and Feng Wu stunned, a subtle unease rising within them.

Could it be that Ye Chen had been... by Dragon Esteem?

"Ye Chen has remarkable potential. I felt a strong kinship with him, so I took him as my godson," Dragon Esteem said calmly.

"Godson?"

Saint Jue Qing's expression changed. If Ye Chen was taken as Dragon Esteem's godson, would he leave Baihua Palace?

"Ye Chen... do you fancy the Dragon Maiden?" Feng Wu and Qin Yan's faces turned odd. They instinctively looked at Long Chan. Somehow, Dragon Esteem's statement made them think Ye Chen was trying to court his god-sister.

"..."

Hearing "godson," Long Chan felt a pang of bitterness in her heart because she had been rejected by Ye Chen!

Much had happened in the past three days. After much hesitation, Ye Chen had broken off the engagement, refusing to marry Long Chan under any circumstance.

With no other choice, Dragon Esteem retained him forcibly, guiding him extensively.

Eventually, Ye Chen knelt before Dragon Esteem, acknowledging him as a godfather. Dragon Esteem had no choice but to take Ye Chen as his godson.

"Where is Ye Chen?" Saint Jue Qing asked. "Even if he acknowledges you as a godfather, he is still a disciple of Baihua Palace!"

Saint Jue Qing had never met Ye Chen, but there were many legends about him. These legends convinced Saint Jue Qing of Ye Chen's immense strength, seeing him as a rare genius!

Baihua Palace had suffered significant losses, and Saint Jue Qing did not want to lose Ye Chen as well.

"Boom!"

Just as Saint Jue Qing finished speaking, a terrifying force erupted from within the void, and someone was breaking through the space to arrive.

"Whoosh!"

A tear appeared in the void, and a man emerged from it, capturing everyone's attention.

Horror!

At the moment of his appearance, Saint Jue Qing felt an immense sense of dread, as if an inexplicable emotion was born.

This was a young man, dignified and serene, exuding an aura of transcendence and otherworldliness.

Though he did not exhibit any overt terror, Saint Jue Qing felt an unspoken threat, an inexpressible horror.

At the moment of his appearance, she felt threatened. Could this youth threaten a saint?

"Ye Chen!"

Saint Jue Qing was filled with trepidation, but Feng Wu and Qin Yan smiled; their man had returned!

"Senior sister, long time no see!" Ye Chen smiled, showing his teeth, as he saw the two women.

"You are Ye Chen!" Saint Jue Qing said, looking at Ye Chen with incredulity.
