"Senior Brother Yin!"

Seeing Yin Qianjue collapsing weakly to the ground, the disciples of the ten great Demon Sects of the Western Wilderness hastily stood up, preparing to surround Yin Qianjue.

However, upon catching the indifferent glance from the mid-stage Heavenly Saint powerhouse, all of these Demon Sect disciples stopped in their tracks.

They realized their Senior Brother Yin, the strongest among the disciples from the ten great Demon Sects in the Heavenly Sacred Palace, had gotten into big trouble.

Palace Master Yuan Li?

That's the strongest among the Heavenly Sacred Palace, a great personage revered by countless Heavenly Saints!

How did Yin Qianjue provoke Palace Master Yuan Li?

And then there was Ye Chen.

Thinking of Ye Chen, these Demon Sect disciples trembled even more in their hearts.

Ye Chen, who came from one of the blood enemies of the ten great Demon Sects of the Western Wilderness, the thirteen countries of the Southern Territory, was well known to the disciples of the ten great Demon Sects as soon as he arrived at the Heavenly Sacred Palace.

The scene where Ye Chen was storming through the Holy Temple Tower, coveted as a disciple by countless Heavenly Saint strongmen and even two Palace Masters, was still vivid in their minds.

Now, Ye Chen had actually established connections with the most powerful Palace Master Yuan Li of the Heavenly Sacred Palace!

With Yin Qianjue being taken away by Palace Master Yuan Li and Ye Chen, the disciples of the Western Wilderness's Demon Sects knew this matter likely had something to do with Ye Chen and the thirteen countries of the Southern Territory.

While the Demon Sect disciples were speculating, the mid-stage Heavenly Saint powerhouse glanced at the collapsed Yin Qianjue, and with a wave of his hand in the air, grabbed Yin Qianjue into his grasp.

Seeing Yin Qianjue's pale face, the mid-stage Heavenly Saint powerhouse shook his head and said, "Looking at you like this, you seem to know why I've come to take you away. Let's go, to the Wind and Thunder Platform, and speak properly about the things you've done!"

Boom!

As soon as the mid-stage Heavenly Saint powerhouse finished speaking, he flew off with Yin Qianjue in his grip, leaving Yin Qianjue's residence and the First Holy Temple, heading towards a huge stone platform at the foot of Heavenly Saint Mountain.

"The Wind and Thunder Platform?"

"Come on, let's follow and see!"

Only after the mid-stage Heavenly Saint powerhouse had completely vanished did the disciples of the ten great Demon Sects of the Western Wilderness breathe a sigh of relief.

The pressure of a mid-stage Heavenly Saint was unbearable for them.

Watching the direction in which Yin Qianjue was taken, the Demon Sect disciples no longer hesitated and flew out of the residence towards the Wind and Thunder Platform.

...

The Wind and Thunder Platform.

A huge stone platform where the Heavenly Sacred Palace dealt with the punishments of disciples and resolved disputes.

This platform was a hundred feet tall and over three hundred feet in length and width, towering below Heavenly Saint Mountain.

The entire platform was engraved with countless patterns of wind and thunder.

Wind, the master of conflict; thunder, the supreme of punishment.

The reason this platform was named the Wind and Thunder Platform was exactly as such.

If a disciple of the Heavenly Sacred Palace violated the sect's rules or if there was a life-and-death struggle between disciples, it all could be settled on this Wind and Thunder Platform.

As the mid-stage Heavenly Saint powerhouse flew towards the platform with Yin Qianjue in tow, the space around the Wind and Thunder Platform was already filled with many who had heard the news and come to see.

Meanwhile, on the Wind and Thunder Platform, Ye Chen was already sitting cross-legged.

Looking beyond Ye Chen into the expanse of space, one could see the three great Palace Masters of the Heavenly Sacred Palace, Palace Master Yuan Li, Mu Yao Palace Master, and Skyscraper Palace Master, had all arrived here.

Beside Palace Master Yuan Li stood Jiang Yao, Mu Qingqing, and Liu Qingmei.

The presence of this lineup completely astounded those Heavenly Saints and disciples from the five great Holy Temples who had hurried over upon hearing something was happening at the Wind and Thunder Platform.

For an event to draw the personal attention of the three great Palace Masters was something seldom seen in the thousands of years of history of the Heavenly Sacred Palace.

Further recognizing Ye Chen seated atop the Wind and Thunder Platform, these Heavenly Saints and disciples from the five great Holy Temples were shocked. It was him, the same young man who had challenged the Holy Temple Tower, attracting the attention of the two great Palace Masters to claim as a disciple.

"The Wind and Thunder Platform, Ye Chen."

"Could this matter be related to Ye Chen?"

"Ye Chen is a talented young man valued by two great Palace Masters; they both vied to take him as their disciple. It seems that Mu Yao Palace Master and Skyscraper Palace Master have personally come because of Ye Chen."

"But why has Palace Master Yuan Li also come? Does Palace Master Yuan Li also value Ye Chen?"

"And that girl standing next to Palace Master Yuan Li, she must be the beautiful girl smitten with Ye Chen. She's standing directly beside Palace Master Yuan Li. It seems, indeed, Palace Master Yuan Li has some connection with Ye Chen!"

Within the space of the Wind and Thunder Platform, Heavenly Saints and disciples from Heavenly Saint Mountain and the five great Holy Temples speculated in their hearts as they flocked to the lively scene.

Guessing why Ye Chen had come to the Wind and Thunder Platform, for what reason.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Countless Heavenly Saints from the Heavenly Sacred Palace and disciples from the five great Holy Temples heard the news and hurried over, until finally, even Heavenly Saint Luo Dian, who had once mentioned taking Ye Chen as a disciple, and the five elders from Shetuo Mountain rushed to the scene.

After nodding their heads to Ye Chen as a greeting, when they saw the three Palace Masters in the void behind Ye Chen, they were also incredibly surprised.

Just as everyone was buzzing with discussion, the mid-stage Heavenly Saint who had gone to capture Yin Qianjue, gripping Yin Qianjue himself, finally brought Yin Qianjue to the Wind and Thunder Platform.

With a "thud," this mid-stage Heavenly Saint directly tossed Yin Qianjue onto the Wind and Thunder Platform.

He even said to Palace Master Yuan Li and Ye Chen, "Palace Master, Brother Ye Chen, Yin Qianjue has been brought!"

Palace Master Yuan Li nodded to this mid-stage Heavenly Saint.

And Ye Chen clasped his hands towards this mid-stage Heavenly Saint, saying, "Thank you for your efforts, Senior Lei Ming."

Whoosh.

The words of this mid-stage Heavenly Saint and Ye Chen set off a wave of discussion among the onlookers in the surrounding void.

"Who is the person thrown next to Ye Chen on the Wind and Thunder Platform?"

"Why did the Palace Master personally assign Heavenly Saint Lei Ming from the Punishment Hall to capture him?"

Though Yin Qianjue was the strongest cultivator from the Western Wilderness Demon Sects practicing in the Heavenly Sacred Palace, many Heavenly Saints from Heavenly Saint Mountain didn't recognize him.

Of course, there were those who did recognize Yin Qianjue, and they were shocked: "Yin Qianjue, from the Western Wilderness Demon Sects, and Ye Chen, from the Thirteen Southern Kingdoms."

"It has long been rumored that the Thirteen Southern Kingdoms and the Western Wilderness Demon Sects are blood-sworn mortal enemies. Could it be that this time, both Ye Chen and Yin Qianjue have come to the Wind and Thunder Platform because of strife between the South and the Western Wilderness?"

"Our Heavenly Sacred Palace does not intervene in factional disputes, so it can't just be due to the enmity between the South and the Western Wilderness. Could it be an issue that arose between the two of them privately?"

While everyone was speculating, Yin Qianjue, who had been thrown onto the Wind and Thunder Platform, saw Ye Chen sitting cross-legged on the platform and his eyes showed a look that was both panicked and malicious.

At that moment Ye Chen, of course, saw Yin Qianjue too, but Ye Chen's heart was without the slightest ripple.

After he had killed Feng Lun Heavenly Saint and learned that it was Yin Qianjue who had attempted to use the "Heavenly Wood Divine Flower" as a reward to have Feng Lun Heavenly Saint kill him, Ye Chen had directly sentenced Yin Qianjue to death!

Now, this Wind and Thunder Platform would be the place where Yin Qianjue's problem would be resolved!

The Heavenly Saints and disciples of the five great Holy Temples standing nearby were buzzing with discussion, while Ye Chen and Yin Qianjue on the Wind and Thunder Platform locked eyes. At that moment, Palace Master Yuan Li, who had been sitting cross-legged in the void, stood up.

With a gentle raise of her palm, the whole world fell silent in an instant.

Her gaze swept around, and finally rested on Ye Chen and Yin Qianjue on the Wind and Thunder Platform. Palace Master Yuan Li spoke, "The crowd here from my Heavenly Sacred Palace is probably unaware of why I have come here and why Ye Chen and that Yin Qianjue are present."

Everyone listened intently to Palace Master Yuan Li's words.

Palace Master Yuan Li continued, "My Heavenly Sacred Palace only deals with affairs involving the other thirty-two continents and does not get involved in the internal conflicts of the Barbaric Wilderness Continent. However, my Heavenly Sacred Palace also has rules!"

"Which are, that disciples within the palace are forbidden to fight among themselves, to commit murder. If indeed a murder is to happen, come to this Wind and Thunder Platform to resolve the matter. And this Yin Qianjue, as I am aware, has directly ordered Feng Lun Heavenly Saint to travel far to the Great Zhou Dynasty to assassinatYe Chen!"

"Feng Lun Heavenly Saint was killed by Ye Chen while pursuing him, and his violation of the rules need not be dealt with further, but this Yin Qianjue, he must be punished."

"Of course, Ye Chen requested to handle this matter himself, so let him settle this matter here on the Wind and Thunder Platform."

Palace Master Yuan Li's words completely stunned the numerous Heavenly Saints and disciples of the five great Holy Temples watching from the void.

Feng Lun Heavenly Saint was killed by Ye Chen while pursuing him?

Many remembered the event from a few days ago when Feng Lun Heavenly Saint's death was discovered. At that time, everyone had wondered why Feng Lun Heavenly Saint had fallen, but now it seemed he had died at Ye Chen's hands?

Feng Lun Heavenly Saint was a peak early-stage Heavenly Saint in Heavenly Saint Mountain with a somewhat famous reputation, and Ye Chen was just a first Holy Temple disciple. Although he had managed to reach the third floor of the Holy Temple Tower, he was still young and had not actually succeeded there.

Could he have killed Feng Lun Heavenly Saint?

Countless people found it hard to believe.

At the same time, the Heavenly Saints and disciples of the five great Holy Temples were even more amazed that even if there had been a life-and-death struggle that violated the rules, it should have been handled by the Punishment Hall. There was no need for Palace Master Yuan Li to come personally.

Listening to Palace Master Yuan Li's words, it was obvious that she stood on Ye Chen's side, intending to support him!

These people didn't know that Jiang Yao had been extremely anxious when Ye Chen was pursued and nearly killed by Feng Lun Heavenly Saint. At this time, Palace Master Yuan Li would naturally no longer conceal her attention to Ye Chen.

She chose to stand out and support Ye Chen, letting others who still held hostility towards him not dare to act against Ye Chen as recklessly as Feng Lun Heavenly Saint and Yin Qianjue did!

This intention of Palace Master Yuan Li was immediately understood by the nearby Skyscraper Palace Master and Mu Yao Palace Master, and both Palace Masters looked at Ye Chen: "This young fellow Ye Chen is truly extraordinary; even Yuan Li is so concerned about him!"

Mu Yao Palace Master nodded, thinking to himself: "Well, although our Heavenly Sacred Palace does not meddle in factional strife, that does not mean Yuan Li can't help someone privately. With Ye Chen's talents, he must be the bane of the Western Wilderness Demon Sects. After Yuan Li's speech, the people from the Western Wilderness Demon Sects will probably no longer dare to trouble Ye Chen."

The Skyscraper Palace Master thought: "Ye Chen even killed Feng Lun Heavenly Saint? His strength when he challenged the Holy Temple Tower was definitely no match for Feng Lun Heavenly Saint, so it seems Ye Chen has many powerful cards he has yet to reveal. With the strength to slay Feng Lun Heavenly Saint, even without Yuan Li's support, Ye Chen alone would probably be more than a match for those early-stage Heavenly Saints from the Western Wilderness Demon Sects, wouldn't he?"
