Chapter 1176 - 1175: Encountering the Zhou Race Again

Ye Qingchen naturally set his sights on the Zhou Race, without inquiring about the bracelet's whereabouts from the Su Race.

According to his original plan, he would simply kill his way through.

But since Su Qinhu could reach out, there's no need to exert extra effort. Just find a reason to invite the Zhou Race over, and the Su Race's reconstruction of the Sacred Land also requires abundant resources.

As for the Su Clan's invitation, the ordinary members of the Zhou Race were naturally overjoyed.

Especially those members who participated in the Ice and Snow Divine Palace's philosophical discussion before.

Though the great battle had passed three months ago, the traces from that day's fight are still abundant; the vast sky riddled with broken cracks, and the earth full of deep chasms.

"Goodness, this Ye the Demon is quite fierce! He broke this whole realm!" someone exclaimed.

"Ye the Demon is indeed powerful; the Profound Ice Platform Conference directly overwhelmed the Su Clan with one Alchemy Furnace, terrifying to the extreme! Just glancing at this realm, it's evident that the Su Clan had to exert every effort against Ye the Demon!" someone else marveled.

"Yes, indeed. I heard that before, in the Ice and Snow Divine Palace, this young man even crippled two of our Elders! He was dubbed the Celestial South Fierce God, truly formidable to the utmost!"

The crowd nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

Originating from the Holy Land, they held themselves in high regard, unable to swallow the loss they suffered in the Ice and Snow Divine Palace. Once back in the Holy Land, they prepared to regroup and return with renewed strength.

However, halfway through, they heard the news of the Profound Ice Platform Conference. After some detailed inquiries, even the Zhou Race was shocked.

It turns out that the infamous Ye the Demon, known as the Celestial South Fierce God, nearly exterminated the Celestial Immortals of the Southern Heaven, leaving necks rolling and fear spreading. Even by rough estimations, there were over a hundred Celestial Immortals who perished at his hands.

Facing such an opponent, even the Zhou Race felt it daunting.

Later on, Ye Qingchen vanished entirely, and everyone speculated whether Ye Qingchen had fallen among the Su Race.

Walking amidst the crowd, Zhou Ye wore a cold smile:

"Hmph, no matter how powerful he is, how could he avoid being subdued by the Su Race? If he lands within our Zhou Race, surely we'll ensure his total destruction in both form and spirit!"

Of course.

He only imagined these thoughts to himself.

A presence like Ye Qingchen's, no matter which force he falls into, would be regarded as a precious treasure, difficult to slay casually. Yet, Zhou Ye was internally horrified, never expecting one Ye Qingchen to batter the Su Sacred Land into such a state.

The high-level members of the Zhou Race were also deeply frightened.

Compared to the Su Race, the Zhou Race was far weaker; even the Su Race faced such a brutal assault, relying on their strength alone may not necessarily guarantee they could suppress Ye Qingchen!

"By the way, I wonder if we can see Ye the Demon this time!" someone said excitedly.

"What's so great about seeing him, just a stray dog!" Zhou Ye snorted, "But upon seeing him, I'd like to see if he can be as arrogant as he was that day!"

He still vividly remembered the scene in the Ice and Snow Divine Palace where Ye Qingchen crushed everyone, forcing the Zhou Race into submission.

Though he didn't speak of it, his heart held deep resentment against Ye Qingchen, almost boiling into hatred.

If they meet.

He naturally seeks the chance to reclaim all the shame from that day.

...

Yet.

Ye Qingchen cared little about these things.

During these days, he restructured the contents of the sword manual, refining his sword soul's construction further. Early in the morning, Su Qinhu came to see him, saying the Zhou Race had arrived, waiting in the main hall.

"Which people from the Zhou Race have come this time?"

Ye Qingchen asked nonchalantly.

Because.

He sensed that Zhou Ye, whom he had planted with a Divine Soul Mark back in the Ice and Snow Divine Palace, was also in the hall. Since ordinary members of the Zhou Race are unqualified to know the origin of the jade bracelet, only their top echelon might have contact with it.

"We've invited the oldest Supreme Elder of the Zhou Race, Zhou Cunjian! It took considerable effort..." Su Qinhu replied.

"Oh? Didn't you use my pills to invite him?" Ye Qingchen looked at him with a half-smile.

Despite being in seclusion for the past three months, he was not oblivious to the matters within the Sacred Land. Initially, Zhou Cunjian didn't wish to appear personally, for being in a high position, he couldn't be invited just at will.

In the end, Su Qinhu had no choice but to offer several Blood Pills to invite him over.

Su Qinhu blushed deeply, unsure how to respond.

"Forget it, since you've invited him, I should indeed go meet him." Ye Qingchen stood up tall.

Upon entering the main hall.

He saw that within the quaint, antique hall, two rows of Master's Chairs were arranged. On one side sat the brothers Su Tianhai and Su Nanxuan from the Su Clan, while on the other was an elder with a sword upon his back, with white hair and beard.

As for the clansmen on both sides, they stood at the back; ordinary clansmen had no seat in such occasions.

The elder casually conversed with Su Tianhai, nodding slightly upon Su Qinhu's entrance. But when his eyes swept past Ye Qingchen, a trace of surprise surged in them.

"Supreme Elder, this is Ye the Demon!"

Zhou Ye, who once had a brief encounter with Ye Qingchen, quickly bowed.

"Is it him?"

At his words.

Quite a few people of the Zhou Race secretly gasped, examining Ye Qingchen with faces full of amazement.

Upon hearing him, Zhou Cunjian first narrowed his eyes, then exhibited a trace of disdain. When Su Qinhu had offered pills to invite him, he had surmised that Ye Qingchen most likely fell into the Su Race's hands.

Now witnessing the scenario firsthand, it certainly proved right.

'Su Qinhu managed to overtly bring Ye the Demon out; he must have been subdued! I wonder if they implanted restrictions or established a master-servant contract?'

While pondering this, Zhou Cunjian chuckled orally, "Brother Su, your invitation this time surely isn't just for mere reminiscing?"

Regarding Zhou Ye and the other members of the Zhou Race, their disdain and ridicule nearly surfaced uncontrollably, but they refrained from verbalizing.

One must know.

The Holy Land Races highly regard face; such occasions are marked by hierarchical respect. Speaking out rashly in front of such notable figures could lead to fatal consequences unknown.

"Well, you sure saw through it, Younger Brother Zhou!" Su Qinhu wasn't embarrassed by the revelation, and jubilantly responded, "I've indeed encountered a significant dilemma, seeking advice from Younger Brother Zhou!"

"Oh? What dilemma?"

Zhou Cunjian responded with a smile.

"I want to ascertain the origins of this item!"

Su Qinhu cautiously produced a Brocade Box, slowly opening it before everyone.

Within the Brocade Box.

Lay an ancient jade bracelet.

Upon seeing the jade bracelet.

Zhou Cunjian's pupils narrowed, and his eyes gleamed brightly.
