Chapter 2044: Chapter 2042: Encounter with the Violet-Clad Woman Again

The magic of the Immortal Origin Liquid!

The mystery of the old man selling ordinary herbs at the entrance of East State City in the Barbaric Forbidden Land!

These were all the questions that arose for Ye Tianchen after entering the Barbaric Forbidden Land. However, right now, what he most wanted to obtain was the Immortal Origin Liquid, to see exactly how many secrets this Divine Liquid held. It could seal a person, ensuring their lifespan almost never expires, which could be considered a form of "alternative eternal life"!

Just imagine how desirable this would be for those nearing the end of their lifespan, and how important it would be for those capable of foreseeing the past and future. They might predict a rare treasure emerging in ten thousand years or an immortal elixir reaching maturity. In such cases, using the Immortal Origin Liquid to seal themselves and their descendants, waiting for that moment, is a maddening idea. Of course, the prerequisite is acquiring the Immortal Origin Liquid first...

Upon learning about the information regarding the Immortal Origin Liquid, Ye Tianchen also understood why the Qiong Qi Descendants could become the controllers of the East State City and grow increasingly powerful. It’s because they possess the Immortal Origin Liquid, something that many heritage forces and powerful martial artists need.

Although he didn’t know where to search for the Immortal Origin Liquid, Ye Tianchen still thought that he should explore around the East State City. He imagined that if the Qiong Qi Descendants had found a place with Immortal Origin Liquid, they would surely protect it. However, since their base is located within the East State City in the Barbaric Forbidden Land, it was highly possible that the Immortal Origin Liquid’s location was around the East State City, just very well hidden and hard to discover!

Thinking this way, Ye Tianchen, however, wasn’t confident. In such matters, one could only do their best to search; it was useless to force it. After all, he was completely unfamiliar with everything here, and finding it would rely entirely on luck!

Ye Tianchen, accompanied by the Little Demon Bat Beast, and the Eight Treasures Chicken he transformed into a colorful peacock using the Bone Transformation Skill, headed towards the gate of East State City. He was somewhat concerned because he had fooled two strong members of the Qiong Qi Descendants at the entrance of the "Harmony" inn. He was afraid that soon enough, more members from the Qiong Qi Descendants would come looking for him, and some trouble would be unavoidable. Ye Tianchen naturally wasn’t afraid of trouble; he was just worried about it delaying his search for the Immortal Origin Liquid!

"Stop there!"

"Fat Taoist, halt!"

Who would’ve thought, just as Ye Tianchen reached the gate of East State City, he heard two voices behind him. He couldn’t help but frown, initially intending to ignore them and continue moving forward. However, four members of the Qiong Qi Descendants had already blocked his path. Two of them were the same ones he had fooled at the "Harmony" inn.

"Fat Taoist, please stop!" one member of the Qiong Qi Descendants said indifferently.

"Hehe, we don’t know each other. Why are you blocking my way?" Ye Tianchen asked, feigning a cold smile, also somewhat displeased.

"Fat Taoist, you said the Golden-faced Young Master colluded with Ye Tianchen to eliminate our Qiong Qi Descendants. Did you hear this personally?" asked another member of the Qiong Qi Descendants.

"Yes!" Ye Tianchen replied calmly.

"That’s right. Now the Golden-faced Young Master wants you to confront him!" One of the Qiong Qi Descendants stood in front of Ye Tianchen and said.

"Confront? Hehe, I don’t think I’m obliged to do that. This Taoist here is very busy!" Ye Tianchen said somewhat indignantly.

"Fat Taoist, to be honest, our Qiong Qi Descendants are conducting a full investigation on this matter, and we need your cooperation. Please come with us!" said an adamant member of the Qiong Qi Descendants blocking Ye Tianchen’s path.

Ye Tianchen glanced at the four Qiong Qi Descendants. Their cultivation realm wasn’t weak, all at the Early-stage Martial Saint. However, considering his strength, defeating them wouldn’t be a difficult task. So he wasn’t worried, at worst, he would just have to kill these four unruly troublemakers. He already had a deep enmity with the Qiong Qi Descendants anyway.

"Are you planning to use force? Hehe, the Qiong Qi Descendants certainly are dominant, but unfortunately, this Fat Taoist isn’t afraid!" Ye Tianchen said disdainfully.

"Hmph, Fat Taoist, refusing a polite request and opting for punishment—don’t blame us for being rude then!" One member of the Qiong Qi Descendants snorted coldly, then released a surge of power from his hand!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...

The four members of the Qiong Qi Descendants unleashed four powerful forces. Instead of attacking Ye Tianchen directly, they formed a net over him, seemingly tasked with capturing Ye Tianchen without error. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have used such a rune array to restrain him!

Hum!

Ye Tianchen remained motionless, or perhaps these members of the Qiong Qi Descendants thought that with four Early-stage Martial Saint realm experts, no matter how formidable the Fat Taoist, he wouldn’t be capable of much. To trap him in one go would be quite reasonable!

"Hmph, Fat Taoist, refusing a polite request and opting for punishment. Although we didn’t want to kill you, if that’s the case, when we reach the Qiong Qi Descendants’ place, even if it has nothing to do with you, we’ll still kill you!"

"Killing you is as easy as crushing an ant, a mere flick of the wrist!"

"No one dares to be so oblivious—deserve to die!"

"Small ants should obediently listen. With such reckless audacity, don’t you think you’re too arrogant?"

Four members of the Qiong Qi Descendants held a rune, forming a net that shrouded Ye Tianchen. They were exceedingly proud and even thought that sending three of them to capture Ye Tianchen was redundant. They believed the older generation of the Qiong Qi Descendants was overly cautious, and any one of them was capable of taking down Ye Tianchen.

"Let’s go, return and report!"

Wham!

Suddenly, just as these four members of the Qiong Qi Descendants were about to gleefully and arrogantly capture Ye Tianchen and take him back to the Qiong Qi Descendants’ base, a muffled sound was heard. The rune net they had formed shattered. At the same time, before they could react, they were all struck by a force and sent flying backward!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Four muffled sounds were heard as the four members of the Qiong Qi Descendants were knocked away, landing heavily on the ground. Although they were not severely injured, they were hurt and looked at Ye Tianchen with utter astonishment!

"With such meager strength, you four dare to try capturing me, the Taoist? Aren’t you overestimating yourselves a bit?" Ye Tianchen asked with a casual smile.

"Who... who exactly are you?"

"Who are you?"

"Reveal your name!"

"Do you dare utter your name?"

Boom!

These four members of the Qiong Qi Descendants continued to rant, also unleashing their potential, feeling ready for another battle against Ye Tianchen. However, Ye Tianchen showed no fear. As these four kept questioning his identity, Ye Tianchen was enveloped in energy, causing the surrounding air to stagnate, stunning the four members of the Qiong Qi Descendants, making them furrow their brows!

"Tongtian!"

Suddenly, Ye Tianchen’s voice echoing "Tongtian" resonated throughout the entire city of East State, reaching the ears of all living beings within. Naturally, every creature heard these two words!

Spit, spit, spit, spit...

The four members of the Qiong Qi Descendants were shocked and injured internally by Ye Tianchen’s thunderous shout of "Tongtian," causing blood to trickle from the corners of their mouths. They were utterly stunned, never imagining that despite their early-stage Martial Saint cultivation realm, they would be injured by a mere shout from Ye Tianchen. Was this seemingly unremarkable fat Taoist really so formidable?

"Let me pass; I, the Tongtian Taoist, don’t wish to kill indiscriminately. Don’t force my hand!" Ye Tianchen shook his head as he spoke.

"You..."

At once, the four members of the Qiong Qi Descendants were taken aback, not daring to step forward and block Ye Tianchen, as they were all intimidated by his shout, suffering significant injuries. Despite some lingering reluctance, they understood clearly this unassuming fat Taoist was no ordinary being. If they dared move forward to obstruct him again, they might face obliteration. Yet, a common question resided within their hearts: Who was this "Tongtian Taoist" fat man? They had never seen him nor heard of him before. Who was he? Where did he come from?

Ye Tianchen easily defeated the four Qiong Qi Descendants and did not kill them—not out of mercy, but because he felt no need. There would be plenty of chances to deal with the Qiong Qi Descendant clan later; he cared little for this moment. Currently, he wished to avoid attracting too much attention. First, he intended to leave the city of East State to search for the Immortal Origin Liquid, as that was what he deemed most urgent!

Swish!

A figure blocked Ye Tianchen’s path, hovering in mid-air, making Ye Tianchen blink in surprise. This woman he had seen before, the purple-clad woman who suddenly appeared when he was hiding among the chaotic stone pile, having just caught the Eight Treasures Chicken. Her appearance was very delicate and adorable, and the long flute she carried on her back lent her an aura of profound mystery!

"It’s the Little Princess; why has she returned?"

"Wasn’t the Little Princess in Northern State?"

"Rumor has it the Little Princess went to the Northern State to guard the Immortal Origin Liquid. Why has she suddenly returned? Could something have happened?"

"Shh, are you mad to speak so recklessly? Princess Zi Xuan’s affairs must not be casually exposed!" (To be continued.
