Chapter 2228: Chapter 2229: The Abyss Strikes! (Fourth Update)

The Order Keeper is not the City Lord. If the Order Keeper is the first to break the rules, then even if they join forces, it wouldn’t count as an attack on the Star River Ancient City.

With this in mind, they dared to strike. Otherwise, if they actively broke the Star River Ancient City’s rules and that City Lord appeared, it would mean immediate death.

Pu Zhen stood in front of Ye Qiu, facing seventeen celestial-level powerhouses at the same time.

Gala and Di Feng watched the scene from a pavilion without intervening.

In front of them, it was indeed Pu Zhen who had overstepped. As an Order Keeper, he could only maintain order within the ancient city. Beyond the Star River Ancient City, it was no longer under their jurisdiction.

However, in recent years, very few outside the training members have stepped onto the Star River Path, making it so that even when the Order Keepers act outside the ancient city, it was of little concern, provided the matters weren’t significant, and everything would be settled in the end.

But now, to protect Ye Qiu, Pu Zhen appeared personally and didn’t hesitate to break the rules first.

"It seems Brother Pu Zhen values this young man greatly," said Di Feng.

"But he has to face seventeen people at once," replied Gala.

"Brother Pu Zhen might struggle to fend off so many people," Di Feng hesitated, contemplating whether to intervene—if he did, he could significantly ease the pressure on Pu Zhen.

"Do you also wish to break the rules?" said Gala.

These words reminded Di Feng that if he intervened, it would mean, like Pu Zhen, he was the first to break the rules, and if the City Lord knew about it, they would face severe punishment.

"Forget it, anyway, if Brother Pu Zhen is in danger, he will withdraw. Besides, these people might not really dare to kill Brother Pu Zhen," Di Feng shook off the thought of intervening.

Pu Zhen, alone in battle with eighteen celestial-level powerhouses, created a grand spectacle.

The young martial artists in the ancient city were completely stunned.

The Order Keeper took action for Ye Qiu. Many were both envious and jealous, wondering who among them could receive this treatment, with an Order Keeper willing to break the rules for their safety.

This could only mean that, in the eyes of the Order Keeper, Ye Qiu was immensely important.

Stone Demon Lord, the Traveler, Lieyan Holy Son, and others were shocked by Pu Zhen’s actions. To them, such a thing was equally unimaginable.

Led by the elder of the Taichi Spirit Sect as the main attacker, with other powerhouses supporting, despite Pu Zhen’s defense, there were too many opponents, and he couldn’t gain the upper hand.

Yet, it must be admitted, Pu Zhen’s strength was impressive. Even facing so many powerhouses simultaneously, he didn’t fall behind at all, and both sides were essentially evenly matched.

Thus, both sides continued to clash in battle after battle, causing the front of the ancient city to be filled with large craters and scenes of energy explosions everywhere.

With nearly twenty celestial-level powerhouses clashing, the grandeur of the scene was comparable to another demon tide.

During the fight with Pu Zhen, the elder of the Taichi Spirit Sect realized it was not a solution to fail to knock his opponent down. This couldn’t continue.

Suddenly, his expression changed, and he focused on Ye Qiu.

Got it.

The voices of the elder of the Taichi Spirit Sect sounded simultaneously in the minds of the other dozen celestial-level powerhouses. Instantly, they all nodded, with their attacks starting to replace those of the elder.

Swish.

The elder withdrew from the battlefield and headed straight for Ye Qiu.

It was not the time to determine victory or defeat with Pu Zhen—it was more crucial to take Ye Qiu away.

Apart from Pu Zhen, no one blocked his way to Ye Qiu, making it much easier. Moreover, Ye Qiu, at this moment, had barely any energy to resist, making it even easier to take him away.

In a flash, the elder of the Taichi Spirit Sect had reached Ye Qiu, causing Pu Zhen’s heart to race with anxiety. If Ye Qiu fell into the opponent’s hands, he would be in grave danger.

With iron fists, Pu Zhen swept aside all opposing forces in front of him. He intended to break free and intercept the elder of the Taichi Spirit Sect’s actions.

The Taichi Spirit Sect elder looked back at Pu Zhen with a smile on his face. It was too late for Pu Zhen, engaged in battle, to stop him.

"Ant, come with me," he said.

The hand of the elder of the Taichi Spirit Sect reached out, grabbing Ye Qiu. Ye Qiu’s demonic body had only its legs left, and he seemed to be in some particular state, immersed in something. Facing the elder’s grasp, Ye Qiu didn’t resist and was picked up in his hand.

Go!

After capturing Ye Qiu, the elder of the Taichi Spirit Sect didn’t wish to linger any longer. If other Order Keepers joined the fray, it would become troublesome.

Swish.

Just as the elder prepared to leave, a force suddenly shot from behind him.

Startled, the elder’s heart pounded. With that force sweeping over him again, he had to release Ye Qiu and face the sudden intruder.

"Want to take my apprentice away, old fool? Did you ask me?"

The one who suddenly intervened was none other than Zhuang Miao Shan. Thankfully, he arrived just in time; otherwise, Ye Qiu would have been taken away.

If Ye Qiu were taken into the Taichi Spirit Sect, rescuing him would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

"So it’s you, junior. In just a few decades, you’ve entered the celestial realm, but you’re still no match for me," the elder of the Taichi Spirit Sect confidently declared.

He immediately engaged in battle with Zhuang Miao Shan.

Even with his emperor demon body against the Taichi Spirit Sect elder, Ye Qiu could barely resist, nearly in a receiving state. Compared to Ye Qiu, Zhuang Miao Shan was much stronger, but as the elder said, he was indeed not an opponent.

After over a thousand moves, Zhuang Miao Shan began to show weakness.

With a thought, the elder of the Taichi Spirit Sect had two more celestial-level powerhouses entangled with Pu Zhen break away to block Zhuang Miao Shan.

With these two engaged with Zhuang Miao Shan, the elder of the Taichi Spirit Sect had his hands free once again.

Without hesitation, he once again seized Ye Qiu.

In just a few breaths, with one disruption after another, the elder realized he couldn’t continue delaying and needed to leave immediately.

"Disciple, return to your body quickly."

Zhuang Miao Shan tried to awaken Ye Qiu from his immersed state, which he didn’t know how long had lasted.

However, facing Zhuang Miao Shan’s call, Ye Qiu seemed dazed, with vacant eyes.

With a sneer, the elder of the Taichi Spirit Sect grabbed Ye Qiu and made his move.

Pu Zhen and Zhuang Miao Shan, both stalled by celestial powerhouses, couldn’t advance and could only watch as Ye Qiu was taken away.

"Young master..."

"Little Ye Zi..."

"Brother Ye..."

Jin Shanshun, Beast God, and Luo Fu all called out, but by this time, the elder of the Taichi Spirit Sect was already flying into the sky with Ye Qiu.

Just as the elder’s figure was about to disappear.

From the cosmic abyss, a gigantic hand stretched out, darting towards the void with thunderous speed, followed by a slap.

Bam!

The elder of the Taichi Spirit Sect was smacked down into the ground, creating a massive pit.

The sky-covering giant hand still hovered above, causing everyone watching to be filled with awe and terror.
