Chapter 871: All Mine

As he spoke, Ye Chen activated the Xianlun Tiandao Escape and exited the space black hole.

He had already transformed into the appearance of the blood-robed elder, feeling far more confident than when he had impersonated Xue Zun, since he had seized all of the elder's lifetime memories.

As for the blood-robed elder himself, Ye Chen hadn't killed him but left him in the space black hole to fend for himself.

Once back in the grand hall, Ye Chen used Earth Escape and vanished in an instant.

Outside the hall, the experts of the Shixue Dian were still waiting respectfully, as the grand hall had been enveloped by a barrier Ye Chen had set up earlier, isolating it from the outside world. They had no idea what had happened inside.

"Looks like Xue Zun is truly furious this time."

"From my guess, the Yanluo Mountain won't see peace in the coming days."

"He won't rest until the traitor is found."

"Anyone could be the traitor." A black-robed elder spoke ominously, his words laced with implication as he glanced around at those present.

The moment he said this, the atmosphere turned strange. Everyone instinctively stepped back, keeping a distance from those nearby—who knew if one of them was the traitor?

While they were talking, Ye Chen had already used Earth Escape to delve eight hundred zhang underground.

There, he stopped in front of a massive stone gate.

The gate was blood-red, incredibly thick, and covered in ancient runes, with a large "Feng" character at its center.

This is the Senluo Men Dian!

A fierce glint flashed in Ye Chen's eyes.

In the next moment, he stepped forward and unleashed the Ba Huang Fist with full force, landing a solid punch on the stone gate.

Boom!

A thunderous roar echoed, shaking the ground from eight hundred zhang below and causing the entire Yanluo Mountain to tremble.

"What in the world is happening?" Shocked voices rang out instantly. Whether it was the patrolling guards or those outside the hall, they all looked down at the ground, feeling the terrifying vibrations coming from beneath.

However, though they were alarmed, they had no idea that something had gone wrong with the Senluo Men Dian.

Or rather, they didn't even know of the Senluo Men Dian's existence, as this was a top-secret matter known only to Xue Zun and the purple-robed elder. With Xue Zun absent from Yanluo Mountain and the purple-robed elder trapped in the space black hole, no one else was aware of the underground secret.

"Quick, go down and check!"

Though unaware of the Senluo Men Dian, the swarm of experts still used Earth Escape to dive underground.

In the Senluo Men Dian underground, Ye Chen now stood before a pool of blood.

The blood pool wasn't particularly large, only about seven or eight zhang in diameter, but it contained blood of various colors—special bloodlines that radiated exotic lights and divine auras, brimming with vast and refined bloodline power.

Beyond that, there were numerous phenomena associated with these bloodlines, intertwining and clashing with one another, creating a magnificent and mysterious spectacle that left Ye Chen in awe.

All of this is mine now!

Ye Chen immediately sprang into action, summoning the Chaos Shen Ding to absorb all the bloodline power from the pool into it at once.

"Hurry, go check over there!"

Outside, chaotic voices echoed as the Shixue Dian experts continued descending underground, their sounds growing closer.

"You're too late!"

Ye Chen chuckled lightly and shot out of the Senluo Men Dian like a divine ray, charging straight through the underground and bursting out into the open.

"Who goes there?"

As soon as they saw someone emerging from below, shouts erupted, and hundreds of figures surrounded him from all sides.

Ye Chen ignored them completely, continuing to streak toward the edge of Yanluo Mountain like a divine ray.

"Stop him!"

Sensing something was amiss, the Shixue Dian experts roared.

Buzz!

The Jue Sha great array in the void trembled violently, unleashing its devastating power.

Feeling the chilling wind at his back, Ye Chen didn't dare hesitate, pushing his speed to the absolute limit—if the Jue Sha array hit him, even with his strength, he might not die but would certainly lose half his life.

"Not so fast!"

The first group of Shixue Dian experts blocked his path.

"Get out of my way!"

Ye Chen struck out powerfully, punching a bloody path through them.

Then, with a single step, he crossed out of Yanluo Mountain before the surrounding experts could catch up.

Boom!

No sooner had he left than the Jue Sha array's attack struck, its overwhelming force reducing many Shixue Dian experts to ashes on the spot from the residual shockwaves alone. It was fortunate Ye Chen had escaped quickly, or he would have been severely wounded.

"Chase him!"

Though the Jue Sha array missed Ye Chen, a massive horde of Shixue Dian experts poured out after him—over eight thousand strong, all at the Kong Ming Jing level.

Such a force was something even Ye Chen didn't want to face head-on; he was powerful, but they had numbers on their side.

Boom! Bang! Rumbling!

The once-quiet night turned chaotic, with Ye Chen fleeing ahead while mountains behind him collapsed one after another.

"See you later!"

Ye Chen glanced back and surged forward, miraculously executing the Suo Di Cheng Cun technique, which he hadn't used well before. The Shixue Dian experts were left far behind in an instant.

"A single step covering thousands of zhang—what kind of divine ability is that?" Behind him, the Shixue Dian experts stared in wide-eyed astonishment, frozen in place.

"Space teleportation?"

"What's everyone standing around for? Chase him!" After a second or two, someone bellowed furiously.

Hearing this, the stunned crowd snapped out of it and rushed off en masse in the direction Ye Chen had fled.

Not long after they left, the space twisted, and a figure emerged—it was Ye Chen, that crafty one.

"Looks like it's clear inside now!" Ye Chen grinned and slipped back into Yanluo Mountain.

"Who are you?"

"Your grandpa." Ye Chen roared with dominating presence and charged in, catching the Shixue Dian experts manning the Jue Sha array off guard. He wiped them out and shattered the array with a single palm strike.

With the Jue Sha array no longer a threat, Ye Chen rampaged freely.

He had noticed during his first visit to Yanluo Mountain that it was full of treasures, and this was too good an opportunity to waste.

Thus, he shamelessly went all out, taking everything he could—spiritual herbs, spiritual pools, spiritual fruit trees—leaving nothing behind. His path of plunder left the ground completely barren.

This surprise counterattack was executed perfectly, turning the Shixue Dian's centuries-old stronghold at Yanluo Mountain into a mess, and stripping away all the wealth they had accumulated over hundreds of years.

Boom!

With a final explosion, Ye Chen blasted Yanluo Mountain apart with a palm strike.

"Time to go!"

After pulling off this heist, Ye Chen dusted off his hands and vanished into the void space, making a swift escape.

Sometime later, the Shixue Dian experts who had chased him returned, looking utterly defeated. They had pursued for half the night, covering over eight hundred li, without even catching a glimpse of Ye Chen.

"Damn it!"

Soon, thunderous curses echoed through the heavens and earth, so loud that even Ye Chen, who had fled far away, vaguely thought he could still hear them.
