Chapter 754: Chapter 753 [Qing Chengyue and Dongfang Meng Communicate]

Bei Wei, the son of Bei Lengshi, the Sect Leader of Songshan Sect, and also its Saint Heir, possessed cultivation at the late Martial Venerate stage, and appeared to be in his thirties. On Earth, which was no longer suitable for cultivation, being able to achieve such success by thirty was truly a prodigious feat.

Ye Tianchen had heard about Bei Wei back when he was at the World’s Number One Bun Shop, a business previously owned by the granddaughter of the once-dominant figure in the Ancient Martial World, Ao Wushuang. The bun shop catered exclusively to the rare spirit stones currency of the entire Ancient Martial World. Bei Wei had been persistently courting Ao Yanran, and after she left the World’s Number One Bun Shop, he took over the establishment, turning it into Songshan Sect’s territory. Ye Tianchen had pursued Du Wan there, and the account between Five Poison Sect and Songshan Sect probably hadn’t even begun to be settled. Ye Tianchen might have brought a major problem upon Songshan Sect.

"Eldest Young Master Bei, you flatter me. Are you also hoping to battle with me?" Qing Chengyue’s personality was in fact very straightforward; she disliked beating around the bush. Knowing that Bei Wei was no good—nothing but a sycophantic smile concealing a tiger’s ferocity—she felt no need for pleasantries with such a person. Moreover, Qing Chengyue understood that having confronted individuals from Songshan Sect, the ruthless and merciless Bei Lengshi would certainly not let her off, even if he refrained from acting in public due to concerns about his reputation.

"Heh, Fairy, you’re too modest. Our Songshan Sect has always been on good terms with Yaochi Sect, and we bear no grudges. The situation this time occurred due to my oversight, which led to the disturbance among the Loose Cultivators gathered here. My father has decreed that anyone coming to our Songshan Sect is a guest, as long as they don’t intentionally cause trouble; they are all welcome inside. However, allow me to say something upfront: those who dare cause trouble within Songshan Sect will certainly not be able to leave unscathed. I hope everyone can lend their support!" Bei Wei said, with a forced smile on his face.

"Bei Wei is nothing but a two-faced fellow."

"This man is extremely vicious, a smiling tiger, threatening us with his words."

"The son of Bei Lengshi surpasses even his father in deceit and ruthlessness. Had Qing Chengyue not intervened this time, and had Songshan Sect not been wary of Yaochi Sect’s strength, Old Hunchback would have lost his life by now, and we Loose Cultivators might not have been able to leave Song Mountain."

"Fairy Qingcheng is not only beautiful but also has a strong personality and formidable strength. Indeed, she is a rare cultivation genius to emerge in the Ancient Martial World in hundreds of years."

The crowd around couldn’t help but start discussing, it was obvious that the battle between Old Hunchback and Hammer Pouch drew out Qing Chengyue. Initially, Songshan Sect wasn’t planning to intervene. They never took the Loose Cultivators of the world seriously, and the Ancient Martial World assembly they had called was merely an attempt to dominate the other Ancient Martial Sects. Therefore, Bei Wei hadn’t appeared at first, allowing Hammer Pouch to kill Old Hunchback as a show of force to all those present.

Who would have known Qing Chengyue would take action, defeating Hammer Pouch with a single move to the astonishment of everyone on site? Bei Wei, who was secretly watching from the shadows, was also surprised. He hadn’t expected Qing Chengyue’s combat strength to be so formidable. If things continued this way, the more than ten Songshan Sect disciples present wouldn’t be up to the challenge and would only embarrass the sect. Moreover, considering the backing of Yaochi Sect behind Qing Chengyue—a long-standing Ancient Martial Sect—it would pose considerations for Songshan Sect. Only then did Bei Wei come forward, feigning magnanimity.

Qing Chengyue glanced at Bei Wei. She wasn’t impulsive. This woman, combining beauty, intelligence, and powerful cultivation, wasn’t so simple. Upon hearing Bei Wei’s words, she slightly smiled and said, "Since Eldest Young Master Bei has provided a place for Loose Cultivators, then I’d ask your Songshan Sect disciples not to interfere anymore. Should someone cause trouble within Songshan Sect, you are of course entitled to handle it. This is not my business!"

"The Fairy is too modest. I, Bei Wei, always keep my word. The grand assembly of the Ancient Martial World will be convened tomorrow, and those who wish to participate, whether they are seniors from established sects or Loose Cultivators without affiliation, are all welcome to join us on Song Mountain. We would be very pleased to have you," Bei Wei eagerly said with a smile.

Everyone had seen the arrogance and high-handedness of Songshan Sect, as well as the cold and ruthless nature of Bei Lengshi and his son, Bei Wei. However, many were discontented. It was clear that the Ancient Martial World assembly called by Bei Lengshi was his scheme to dominate the entire Ancient Martial World. As Martial Artists within the Ancient Martial World, how could they quietly accept this? How could they simply watch Bei Lengshi succeed in his plot? Therefore, many had come, hoping to unite their strength and thwart Bei Lengshi’s plans. Over the years, the power reserve and cultivation of Songshan Sect, with Bei Lengshi reaching the Martial Saint Realm, truly made him a formidable adversary with few equals.

Qing Chengyue no longer paid attention to Bei Wei and instead turned to the Martial Artists behind her, saying, "Esteemed seniors, fellow Martial Artists, since Eldest Young Master Bei has extended an invitation, I urge everyone not to be agitated. Those who wish to attend this assembly of the Ancient Martial World can proceed to Songshan Sect. We must stand united and must not let the schemes of some succeed..."

"Right, the Fairy is doing the right thing. Let’s all go to Songshan Sect together."

"Some want to dominate the entire Ancient Martial World, but they need to ask if we consent."

"I’d like to see what kind of tricks Sect Leader Bei has up his sleeve."

All those present were extremely exhilarated as they headed towards the entrance of the Songshan Sect at the mountaintop. Dozens of Songshan Sect disciples stood to the side, not daring to block their path any longer. Despite feeling extremely disgruntled, they were helpless to do anything about it.

Previously, anyone wishing to visit the Songshan Sect had to present an invitation letter from the Sect. Those who were not invited were strictly prohibited from ascending. Songshan Sect disciples were stationed at the foot of the mountain to guard and conduct checks when necessary. Frankly, the Songshan Sect wanted to establish their authority from the outset, to signal to all cultivators in the Ancient Martial World that they had become the most powerful sect. Anyone who dared to oppose the Songshan Sect would meet a grim fate. Unfortunately, they hadn’t anticipated the Yaochi Sect’s Qing Chengyue, whose formidable response swayed many to her side. Even the domineering Bei Lengshi of the Songshan Sect did not dare to make enemies with so many martial artists all at once.

Bei Wei glanced at Qing Chengyue, frowned slightly, and then, putting on a forced smile, approached her and said with a smile, "Fairy, it’s your first time visiting my Songshan Sect. How about I play tour guide and show you around our impressive grounds?"

"No need. This time, the Yaochi Sect only sent me to attend the conference. My master is in seclusion, and she doesn’t have spare time. I have friends here inviting me, so I’ll excuse myself from your offer!"

After speaking, Qing Chengyue walked away without giving Bei Wei another thought, much to his irritation. He was itching to take action but remembered his father Bei Lengshi’s repeated admonitions: as long as most of the sects supported Bei Lengshi as the ruler of the Ancient Martial World after the grand conference next year, even if the Yaochi Sect opposed them later, it would be in vain. Then, they could ally with other sects to eradicate the Yaochi Sect.

"Hmph, Qing Chengyue, when the time comes, I want you, the number one beauty of the Ancient Martial World, to kneel and grovel before me!" Bei Wei thought bitterly to himself with malice.

At that moment, Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng were also walking towards the entrance of the Songshan Sect. Ye Tianchen followed closely behind Dongfang Meng. Even though he had transformed into a woman through the formidable Bone Transformation Skill, making it difficult for Qing Chengyue to recognize him even if she saw him, Ye Tianchen felt somewhat awkward from a guilty conscience, reminded of Qing Chengyue’s pink bellyband still on him. He found it embarrassing to consider what might happen if Qing Chengyue discovered it—he would definitely have to fight for his life, as that woman was not to be trifled with!

In their previous encounter, Ye Tianchen was not as powerful as Qing Chengyue. While Qing Chengyue was engaged in a fierce battle with Dongfang Meng, he took advantage of the situation and stole her pink bellyband. This act enraged the Ancient Martial World’s top beauty, who chased Ye Tianchen for hundreds of miles, wishing she could tear the shameless wretch to pieces.

"Sister Dongfang Meng, long time no see. How have you been?" Qing Chengyue approached with a smile and asked.

"Oh, it’s Sister Qing Chengyue! I didn’t expect to see you here!" Dongfang Meng replied with a slight smile.

Qing Chengyue nodded and continued, "Although we had a battle that day, we didn’t harm our camaraderie, it was merely a spar. Now, with Bei Lengshi of the Songshan Sect wanting to dominate the entire Ancient Martial World, I trust you wouldn’t want to see a villain succeed, right?"

"Of course. While my master was alive, she always hoped to contribute to the peace of the Ancient Martial World. Should chaos erupt, unleashing bloodshed and carnage, the Mortal World would inevitably suffer as well. Perhaps you and I could still fight, but for those ordinary people in the Mortal World, their so-called nations standing up to martial artists is nothing but a joke!" Dongfang Meng said seriously.

"It seems we share the same goal, we absolutely must not allow Bei Lengshi to succeed!" Qing Chengyue proclaimed with righteous conviction.

"Although I am the only one left from the Ancient Tomb Sect, I will do my utmost to fulfill my master’s last wish and contribute to the peace of the Ancient Martial World!" Dongfang Meng nodded and declared.

At that moment, Qing Chengyue glanced at Ye Tianchen, who was behind Dongfang Meng, and with a subtle shift in her gaze, she inquired, "And who might this be...?"

Upon noticing Qing Chengyue’s gaze fixed on himself, Ye Tianchen quickly responded with a reserved smile, maintaining the decorum expected of a woman meeting someone for the first time, in case he gave himself away. Despite the power of the "Bone Transformation Skill" and the fact that Qing Chengyue might not be able to see through it, Ye Tianchen did not want to risk arousing her suspicions. If Qing Chengyue discovered his true identity, she was sure to erupt in fury, which would severely hinder his plan to smoothly infiltrate Songshan Sect and rescue Tian Boguang. To be honest, Ye Tianchen himself was quite unsure whether Qing Chengyue would recognize him, especially given the peculiarity in her gaze...(To be continued.
