Ye Qingwan was terrified to the extreme, for her adversary was none other than the Sect Leader of the Green Gate Sect, one of the world’s top forces. Angering such a person was tantamount to seeking death.
She wanted to urge Qin Chuan to apologize quickly, but she also understood that to say such a thing under these circumstances would be an insult to him.
To Qin Chuan’s surprise, although Liu Kuangren was furious, he didn’t seem intent on starting a battle.
"Your head," he said, "I’ll just borrow it for a while. Once I’m done with my pressing matters, I’ll come and take it myself."
After dropping this statement, Liu Kuangren turned and strode away.
Watching the man leave, Qin Chuan’s brows knit together deeply.
For a moment, Ye Qingwan was too stunned to react.
Only when Liu Kuangren’s figure had completely vanished into the crowd did she take a deep breath, still with a face full of fright, and asked, "Qin Chuan, did you really kill Liu Kuangren’s disciple?"
Qin Chuan nodded, "Three of them."
"Three?"
It wasn’t until Qin Chuan had walked several paces away that Ye Qingwan realized the ’three’ he referred to were three of Liu Kuangren’s disciples.
"Have you lost your mind? Those are the disciples of the Sect Leader of the Green Gate Sect—one of the world’s top forces! You actually killed three of them?"
Ye Qingwan felt as though she was dreaming.
Thinking back to Qin Chuan’s grudge with the Ye Family, she suddenly felt that such a grudge was nothing in comparison.
The Ye Family was strong, but it was just one of the top families in Shen Zhou.
The Green Gate Sect, however, was a force of the world’s top tier.
It was rumored that Liu Kuangren had six disciples who were the mainstay of the Green Gate Sect.
Yet, half of them had died at the hands of merely one person, Qin Chuan.
"Liu Kuangren mentioned he had urgent matters to attend to, but could there be anything more important than avenging his three disciples?"
Suddenly, something occurred to Ye Qingwan, and with a face full of panic, she said, "He isn’t going to the Shen Zhou Battle Domain Headquarters, is he?"
After all, twenty years ago, Liu Kuangren had been attacked and severely wounded by four Energizing Skill Peak Realm Strong of the Shen Zhou Battle Domain, forcing him to leave Shen Zhou.
It had been since that time that Liu Kuangren was banned from entering Shen Zhou, and his sudden return must surely be for vengeance.
"Qin Chuan, wait!"
Ye Qingwan hurriedly chased after Qin Chuan, saying with panic in her voice, "Liu Kuangren must be heading to confront the Battle Domain Headquarters. You can’t leave now!"
As Qin Chuan walked on, he asked indifferently, "Why can’t I leave?"
He didn’t want to spend another second in Yandu.
He had been in Yandu for only a few days and had already provoked several of the top families of the city. It was only because the commotion hadn’t been too great that Kunlun Divine Prison hadn’t taken notice. Otherwise, trouble would have been immense.
Just as he was about to leave Yandu, he had run into Liu Kuangren, the Sect Leader of the Green Gate Sect.
And Liu Kuangren wasn’t prepared for an immediate confrontation; otherwise, once Qin Chuan made his move and killed him, considering the Green Gate Sect’s influence in the world, it would certainly cause a huge sensation.
By then, his own peaceful days would also be over.
Ye Qingwan, keeping up with Qin Chuan’s quick pace, said urgently, "You killed his three disciples, and he just said he would find you for revenge after handling his pressing matters."
"If I’m not wrong, what he referred to as pressing matters must be challenging the Battle Domain Headquarters."
"Since he dares to do such a thing, he must have a certain level of confidence."
"Instead of waiting for him to seek revenge in Jiangcheng City, it would be better for you to stay in Yandu for the time being and observe. If he dies in the Battle Domain, that would be for the best, but if he wins, you must hide."
Qin Chuan suddenly stopped in his tracks, frowning as he said, "If you want to come back to Jiangcheng City with me, then come. If you have other matters to deal with, stay behind!"
"I..."
Seeing Qin Chuan apparently angry, Ye Qingwan immediately had tears in her eyes. She wanted to continue persuading him, but seeing his displeased expression, she didn’t dare.
After about three or four seconds of silence, she said, "I will go back to Jiangcheng City with you!"
Qin Chuan said nothing more and strode away.
Meanwhile, at the Shen Zhou Battle Domain Headquarters.
In the vast training field, hundreds of elite soldiers were training.
"These three hundred elites are all top warriors of the Shen Zhou Battle Domain, each one an Energizing Skill Strong. If placed on the battlefield, they would definitely be a trump card team," the leading middle-aged man said with evident pride.
Another middle-aged man of similar age stood by his side and spoke gravely, "Although they are all Energizing Skill Strong, less than one-tenth of them are at the Energizing Skill Peak Realm. It’s not enough; they are not strong enough."
The leading middle-aged man frowned and said impatiently, "Do you think Energizing Skill Peak Realm Strong are as common as cabbages?"
"You and I are merely at the initial stage of the King Realm; how many Energizing Skill Peak Realm soldiers do you expect to have under our command?"
Upon hearing this, the other man spoke solemnly, "Old Wang, have you forgotten the humiliation we experienced twenty years ago?"
As soon as this was mentioned, Old Wang’s face darkened, his fists clenched tightly, and he gritted his teeth, "Even if I die, I will never forget the humiliation from twenty years ago!"
The other man continued solemnly, "Twenty years ago, we, four Energizing Skill Peak Realm Strong, besieged Liu Kuangren of the same realm. In the end, one died, one was crippled, and two were seriously injured, but we still couldn’t capture Liu Kuangren."
"Why? Isn’t it because we were too weak? Over the years, how many precious resources has Shen Zhou spent to help us break through to the initial stage of the King Realm?"
"And how many resources have we spent on this Grandmaster Battle Team? To achieve such results?"
"In my opinion, these results are far from enough!"
Old Wang said, grinding his teeth, "Old Zhang, you’re right, these results are indeed far from enough, we have let down the nation’s cultivation."
"Starting today, the training intensity for the Grandmaster Battle Team will increase!"
Just as Old Wang’s words fell, a middle-aged man in a white Tang suit suddenly walked toward them.
"Who are you? Who allowed you to come in?"
Old Wang immediately shouted angrily upon seeing the stranger.
Old Zhang also frowned at the new arrival. For some reason, despite the man showing no sign of aura leakage, there was a deep sense of oppression emanating from him, as if it came from the depths of his soul.
Old Wang felt the same and was ready to take action at any moment.
This was the training field of the Grandmaster Battle Team, where no outsider was allowed, and the man in front of them in a white Tang suit clearly wasn’t from the Battle Domain.
The man in the white Tang suit curved his lips slightly and said, "Wang Chujang! Zhang Wenyuan! Do you not even recognize an old friend?"
As soon as he spoke, both Wang Chujang and Zhang Wenyuan’s expressions changed drastically.
They had not recognized the man from a distance initially, but as he approached, and upon speaking, they immediately recognized him.
Both men’s eyes reddened instantly, as if facing a formidable enemy, and they prepared themselves for combat.
"Liu Kuangren!"
Wang Chujang, with bloodshot eyes, stared dead at the man, almost as if he was grinding his teeth, "You’ve got some nerve, daring to step foot into Shen Zhou."
