Chapter 528: Chapter 261: Overwhelming Above the Three Gates Wilderness. Spiritual Qi surged wildly, the aftermath of the battle shaking the heavens and earth. Elder Ziyang and Jiang Family powerhouse Jiang Ruhai stood back to back, protecting the seven remaining True Disciples behind them. Opposing them, four late-stage Void Path Realm powerhouses stood scattered, encircling everyone. Elder Ziyang wielded his sword and swept it, a purple Sword Qi imbued with rule fluctuations burst forth, sweeping across all directions, even the space seemed to be collapsing. However, the two powerhouses on the opposite side stretched out a single hand each, palms surging with magical power and Tao Principles, settling the space completely. The incoming purple Sword Qi was utterly powerless against them. On the other side, Jiang Ruhai wielded a Frost Ancient Sword and fiercely stabbed. As the sword tip blossomed, an azure ice spike appeared instantly, and within a blink, the ice spike spontaneously grew, forming a tree-like network, stabbing toward the person opposite. That person raised a hand and summoned a Fire Seal, the overwhelming Tao fire burning half the sky, immediately dissolving the incoming ice tree completely. Seeing this, Elder Ziyang’s face darkened instantly. The opposing side did not continue their attacks intending to kill them all. Moreover, judging by the four’s stance, they seemed to form some array, vowing to trap everyone here. Elder Ziyang grew increasingly uneasy, the location and timing of the appearance of these opponents were incredibly precise, not at all like a spur-of-the-moment decision. And furthermore, their timing was randomly chosen, making it impossible for anyone to foresee it. Thus, the reason these people appear suddenly is self-evident, there must be a traitor amongst them! What’s more, today’s encounter must have been planned long ago, with everything secretly arranged. The traitor on the ship acted as a spy, continuously transmitting their location outward, which is why these people appeared so precisely and attacked at the right moment. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮 Additionally, Ye Qingtian using the Power of Rules to sweep away Ye Chen, Ning Qi, and Qin Minghao makes the purpose clearly understood! Their goal must be to eliminate Ning Qi, and who the traitor is doesn’t even need to be said. ... The silhouette of Supreme Elder Ye Qingtian swept through the sky like purple lightning, creating waves of thunderous sonic booms with astonishing speed. Behind him, two powerhouses were closely following him. "Rest assured, I will definitely ensure your safety!" Ye Qingtian did not forget to speak to the three he took away, his tone was as firm as iron, facing death with equanimity. Qin Minghao struggled constantly, but he was only in the Primordial Spirit Realm, while the opponent was a Void Path Realm Elder, with the Power of Rules encompassing them, leaving him no different from a tied-up mortal, unable to escape. Ning Qi remained calm and collected, seemingly indifferent to everything occurring. Yet he was not idle. With a true Void Path Realm expert taking action, how could Ning Qi miss such an opportunity to gain insights? He immediately used his Primordial Spirit to perceive Ye Qingtian’s Power of Rules, quickly sorting out a thunder order rule from it. A true Void Path Realm expert, the Primordial Spirit and heaven and earth are one, understanding a rule through Divine Techniques, granting a ten-thousand-year lifespan. They comprehend rules from between heaven and earth, structuring the most suitable Power of Rules using Primordial Spirit Power, thereby achieving Void Path. Soon, Ning Qi had understood seventy to eighty percent of Ye Qingtian’s Power of Rules. No choice, since Ye Qingtian voluntarily used his Power of Rules to envelop them, it was akin to exposing everything to Ning Qi whose perception defies logic. Suddenly, Ye Qingtian accelerated, as if burning his Primordial Spirit Power, swiftly widening the gap between the two pursuing powerhouses. Before long, he managed to shake off the two, then Ye Qingtian descended rapidly, landing in a place of jagged rocks. The four landed, and Ye Qingtian finally withdrew the Power of Rules enveloping Ning Qi and the other two. Qin Minghao immediately stood by Ning Qi’s side, standing opposite Ye Chen. Ye Qingtian turned around, glanced at the surroundings. Ye Chen walked to his side, their eyes met, appearing rather relaxed. "Why not run anymore?" Ning Qi asked lightly with a smile. Upon hearing his words, Ye Qingtian and Ye Chen looked at each other again, suddenly bursting into laughter. Qin Minghao clearly saw unabashed malice in their eyes. "I’ve finally waited for this day!" Ye Chen said gruffly, his face revealing a ferocious expression. Ye Qingtian’s eyes scanned Ning Qi and Qin Minghao, finally settling on Ning Qi. "Immortal species, this place is remote and concealed, what do you think will happen next?" Ning Qi remained calm: "Surely something interesting will happen." "Hmph, to be this composed in the face of everything, I must say, your bearing is indeed more stable than Chen’s." Ye Qingtian paced slowly, a slight smile on his lips. Now, having left the territory of the Infinite Sword Sect, and separated from its ranks, as a Void Path Realm Elder of the Sword Sect, he became the one who can decide life and death here! Seeing him now, eyes lofty and with an indifferent gaze towards Ning Qi and Qin Minghao, it gave off a sense as if looking down upon ants. Ye Chen stood beside him, gazing at the two as if looking at prey caught in a trap. Finally unable to bear it, he spoke up: "Ning Qi, oh Ning Qi, do you know how I’ve endured these ten years? Every day I have thought of tearing you to pieces." "But now, I’ve suddenly felt that having you killed instantly would seem too easy on you." "How about this, you kneel down first, hand over the Purple and Cyan Twin Swords you took from me, then offer your Spiritual Treasure with both hands, and I might request Elder Qingtian to be less violent."
