Chapter 11 : The Heaven-Piercing Sect Opens, The Son of Destiny Failed to Pretend!

Yan Ruyu giggled melodiously, her eyes playful as she looked at Ye Qingcheng. “Fairy Ye, why do you look so upset? And where is the Primordial Holy Land’s Holy Son? You two used to be inseparable. Now that he’s nowhere to be seen, it seems the rumors are true – the Holy Son has given up pursuing Fairy Ye.”Updated chapters at novelhall.com

“It’s such a pity. A devoted man like the Holy Son is rare. If I were Fairy Ye, I would have agreed long ago!”

Jiang Chen’s absence and his usual closeness with Ye Qingcheng were well-known, and this matter had been widely discussed. However, since Jiang Chen hadn’t made any public appearances, the people of Primordial Holy Land merely speculated. Some thought he might be in secluded cultivation and too busy to appear.

The disciples of Primordial Holy Land took it as a mere rumor. Now that Yan Ruyu had spoken openly about it, it surprised many from Primordial Holy Land, who couldn’t help but look towards Ye Qingcheng.

People from various factions were also very curious. Gossip is human nature, and even cultivators are no exception, especially gossip about Jiang Chen and Ye Qingcheng.

As one of the top geniuses of the Nine Heavens Realm, Jiang Chen was well-known for his unrequited love for Ye Qingcheng. His persistence despite repeated rejections had amazed many. People wondered whether it would end with Jiang Chen giving up or Ye Qingcheng being moved.

“What does that have to do with you!” Ye Qingcheng glared at Yan Ruyu, clearly annoyed. Ever since her emergence, she and Yan Ruyu had been hailed as the two most dazzling beauties of their generation.

While Ye Qingcheng never cared for such comparisons, Yan Ruyu always seemed to find a way to confront her. Every encounter with Ye Qingcheng was a chance for Yan Ruyu to provoke her.

“Of course, it matters to me!” Yan Ruyu said cheerfully. “If the Holy Son stops being lovesick, then I might have a chance!”

“Too many people!” Du Guyun, eager to enter, kept being pushed back due to his slightly inferior strength.

“S-stop right there!” Suddenly, several men blocked the pathway, preventing entry. All four were at least Soul Passage Realm fifth level practitioners.

“If you want to enter, defeat us first!” declared a fierce-faced man, blocking the way with a sinister smile.

“Wang Ba, what are you trying to do?” The blocked crowd was furious, outraged. With so many people, being even a moment late meant everything inside could be taken.

“How bold of Celestial Sect, daring to block us!” The Tianyun Sect quadruplets, born together with a unique connection and extraordinary strength, now stood in everyone’s way.

“Damn it, they’re blocking the way, we can’t get in on time!” The crowd was infuriated, helplessly watching others enter as they were barred.

Despite blocking the pathway, the Wang brothers knew better than to incite public anger. They only stopped those weaker than them, letting stronger individuals pass unimpeded.

This was actually a plot twist in the novel. Du Guyun, angered, would defeat the Wang brothers, using them as a stepping stone to fame. However, in the novel, Du Guyun was much stronger, easily defeating the brothers. Now, without Jiang Chen’s oppression, he had lost many opportunities and was clearly weaker, not even at the Soul Passage Realm.

Du Guyun, ever competitive and strong-willed, challenged them despite being weaker. “Looking for death!” he yelled, attacking furiously. His massive fist, like a falling meteor, exploded with terrifying power.

“Scram!” Wang Ba glanced disdainfully and swatted him away. With a loud thud, Du Guyun was sent flying like a kite with its string cut. To challenge the Soul Passage Realm while only at the Soul Palace Realm was simply courting death.
