Settle old scores

  The scene inside the hall was extremely chaotic, with two large groups of cultivators seeing red and even some innocent cultivators who had intended to stay out of it but were accidentally attacked and counterattacked in anger, also being drawn into the fray.

  Ye Chen, Zhu Dahao, Qian Shanli and five other cultivators, as well as Xu Ao, the self-satisfied owner of the hut, hid in a corner on one side of the main hall, trying to avoid conflicts with other cultivators. Of course, the main hall was just that big, so even if they were in a more secluded position, some stray fireball spells still fell near them, exploding and sending flames flying out in all directions.

  "What bad luck! I've rushed the tower twice before, but never encountered such a chaotic battle scene! Everyone was busy rushing the tower, no one had time to fight in the tower!"

  Zhu Dahao was anxious and dodged the fireballs and wind blades that flew randomly from all directions in the hall to avoid being mistakenly injured.

  "The chaotic battle inside the Demon-Suppressing Tower occurs every year, how could you have never encountered it?! It's just that such battles mainly erupt among the top one or two hundred family disciples and top-notch rogue cultivators, in order to strike down enemy families, eliminate opponents, and seize the Immortal Gate Command."

  Xu Ao glanced at Zhu Dahao, Qian Shanli and the other two behind Ye Chen, and asked in surprise, "I'm puzzled, with your strength of only three layers of Qi Refining stage, how did you get here so quickly and become one of the top hundred?"

  Zhu Dahao and Qian Shanli just smiled, but didn't say anything. This was naturally because of Ye Chen's actions as a fifth-layer Qi Refining cultivator. However, this matter wasn't suitable to be told to Xu Ao.

  Qian Shanli's face lit up with joy, and he quickly said, "This chaotic battle will at least take out a dozen or so cultivators! The more fiercely they fight, the greater our chances of rushing to the front and possibly getting lucky and finding a piece of the Immortal Gate Token!"

  Xu Ao suddenly sneered, "Got it? You few shouldn't be too happy, they were all knocked out of the Town Demon Tower, and there are other fourth-layer Qi Refining cultivators. I'm afraid it's not your turn to fight for the command token! Even if they were killed out of the tower, so what? They can just recover from their injuries and charge back into the tower again. There's no restriction on charging into the tower within a month. For pavilion masters like Wei Ming, Chu Zhenping, and Cao Xifei who were kicked out of the tower, after healing their wounds, they only need half a day to kill their way back to the third layer of the Town Demon Tower. No matter how hard you try, you can't keep up with their speed in charging into the tower. Want to take advantage? Unless you have the ability to reach the sixth layer of the Town Demon Tower within a few days."

  "This...!"

  Zhu Dahao and Qian Shanli were instantly speechless, somewhat disheartened. However, they quickly rallied, as a third-layer cultivator of the Refining Qi stage originally had almost no hope. Now being able to charge into the top hundred or so was already considered unprecedented.

  Ye Chen did not listen to their argument, staring intently at Wei Ming, Chu Zhenping and Cao Xifei who were fighting fiercely in the crowd in the center of the hall.

  Wei Ming is the master of Hut No. 3 and also one of the strongest opponents in this tower rush. The other two are not weak either.

  "Whirlwind Axe!"

  Wei Ming let out a loud roar, his hands spinning the giant axe in a circular motion before flinging it forward. The axe transformed into a whistling blade of light, radiating a dazzling yellow glow as it swept across the front in a straight line, heading directly for Cao Xifei amidst the crowd opposite him.

  Chu Zhenping also wielded a sword and chased Cao Xifei from the other end, surrounding him.

  "Don't you have any shame? Two of you ganging up on me! Wei Ming, I've never offended you before, why are you teaming up with Chu Zhenping to hit me?"

  Cao Xifei cursed and quickly retreated, using the crowd of monks in the hall to evade Wei Ming and Chu Zhenping's pursuit. His wind control technique was extremely fast, and although he escaped in a sorry state under the pursuit of the two great masters, he did not reveal any obvious signs of defeat.

  He didn't dare stay in any place within the hall for fear of being besieged.

  "So what if I hit you! Wait till I enter the Immortal Gate, you'll be eliminated this year, and a small flea like you can't even withstand me!"

  Wei Ming burst out laughing, haha.

  "Wei Ming is an earth-based cultivator, he charges recklessly in the crowd but doesn't get hurt much, must have learned defensive spells like 'Stone Skin'. His spiritual axe is overbearing and powerful, almost no one dares to collide with him head-on!"

  Ye Chen looked far away, and quickly cut off Wei Ming's strength.

  This is probably just a small part of Wei Ming's strength. He can dominate the top three cottages, and he may have even more powerful means.

  Ye Chen was deep in thought when suddenly a chill ran down his spine and a strong sense of crisis emerged.

  "Whoosh!"

  A sword suddenly appeared a zhang away, emitting a faint blue glow as it stabbed towards Ye Chen's chest with an icy aura.

  Ye Chen's front and back were Xu Ao and Zhu Dahao, with the stone wall of the Demon-Suppressing Tower on one side, leaving only one direction for them to launch a surprise attack.

  The Water Spirit Sword appeared at the same time, and a familiar cultivator's figure floated in front of him.

  Former owner of No. 50 Hutong Chen Rongyuan!

  Ye Chen's eyes flashed with cold light.

  At such close range, he couldn't possibly dodge it.

  Hmph!

  Ye Chen's robe had a sword hole tied on it.

  Ye Chen let out a fierce cry, his Fire Spirit Knife flashing horizontally, unleashing a blazing blade of flame.

  Chen Rongyuan didn't have time to stab deeper and hastily swung his sword to block, but was blasted flying by the overbearing knife's edge.

  Chen Rongyuan was struck by a heavy blow, rolled to the ground, and saw Ye Chen unharmed, his face changed, quickly sheathing his sword, flying back in retreat, with an icy face returning to the chaotic crowd.

  Chen Rongyuan's figure was covered by a layer of rippling light, and he quickly disappeared into the chaotic crowd of cultivators. He had long since calculated that with the chaotic crowd of cultivators blocking the way, Ye Chen's thunder technique would have difficulty hitting him, which was to his advantage, so he made his move.

  Zhu Dahao and the other three were shocked and pale, being forced to such a close distance, they didn't even notice, not even having time to react.

  Xu Ao's face changed, somewhat embarrassed, and he glanced back at Ye Chen, "Chen Rongyuan used to be the 50th hut master, but later heard that he was defeated by a loose cultivator and directly dropped to the 100th hut master. It took him a lot of effort to rise to the 70s hut master. He's much more powerful than me! Are you okay?!"

  "It doesn't matter, I've been blocked by the law!"

  Ye Chen's face turned slightly pale, and he shook his head. The law robe and stone skin blocked the attack, leaving no external injuries. However, the spiritual sword's force penetrated through his body, still causing a dull ache in his chest that injured his meridians.

  "Chen Rongyuan this guy! This guy has been lurking here for a long time."

  Zhu Dahao was shocked and angry, and he rushed over suddenly.

  "Come back! He has the Water Concealment Technique, you won't be able to find him!"

  Ye Chen coldly shouted.

  Zhu Dahao stopped in anger and retreated. He could no longer find Chen Rongqiao's position, and even if he wanted to fight, he couldn't find his opponent.

  "You can't beat him, don't bother!!"

  Ye Chen lowered his eyelids, this was an old grievance between him and Chen Rongyuan. He had snatched the 50th hut from Chen Rongyuan, but he didn't blame Chen Rongyuan for secretly plotting against him! Since Chen Rongyuan was ready to challenge him in the Town Demon Tower, they would speak with their strength.

  In Ye Chen's eyes, two faint flames suddenly appeared in the depths of his pupils. The clear and bright eyeballs seemed to have turned into a pair of fiery eyeballs. These two flames flickered and were imprinted deep within. If one wasn't careful, it would be difficult to notice the flashing flames in his pupils.

  Ye Chen quickly swept his gaze across the hall without making a sound.

  Within his line of sight, everything in the entire hall turned red, with stronger spiritual energy corresponding to a more intense red glow. Clear red silhouettes leapt and danced as they clashed, their held spiritual instruments and released spells shining brightly.

  Where there is no spiritual power, it is a grayish white and dark blue color.

  Ye Chen's gaze swept over the place where Chen Rongyuan had just disappeared, and there was a very weak and dim red light flashing around quickly, flashing by in an instant, flying quickly towards their rear.

  This faint red light is like a thin red thread, very difficult to capture, and even easily obscured by other stronger red lights.

  Ye Chen knew that his Huo Yan cultivation was still insufficient and he couldn't fully see Chen Rongyuan's figure.

  "Let's go! We'll head along the stone wall towards the entrance of the passageway! A fight has already broken out in the hall and no one is guarding the entrance to the passageway now! Let's get out of here immediately!"

  Ye Chen said in a low voice.

  At this time, more than a dozen cultivators had fallen in the hall. Apart from those who were still fighting and killing each other, many others retreated towards the entrance of the passageway, leaving this chaotic place behind.

  Xu Ao didn't ask more questions and rushed forward at high speed.

  Ye Chen followed behind, waving his hand to let Zhu Dahao, Qian Shanli and the other four follow up, dodging the chaotic fighting monks in the hall, arrived at the entrance of the third floor corridor of the Demon Tower. He was at the very back.

  A small group of monks arrived at the entrance of the tunnel.

  Ye Chen suddenly turned around rapidly, his pupils flashing with firelight, and then a crescent moon slash cut through the air towards the back.

  "Hmph!"

  In the empty air, Chen Rongyuan's Water Concealment Technique was broken through. The Water Concealment was just a stealth technique and had no defensive power, it was easily shattered. Chen Rongyuan's figure emerged, holding his sword and about to strike at Ye Chen, but he didn't expect Ye Chen to suddenly turn around and counterattack.

  "How did you guess? Huo~, Huoyan! You can see through me"

  Chen Rongyuan's law robe was cut open with a knife mark, "puchi" splashing out a large piece of blood, and his body was instantly covered by a white light. He looked at Ye Chen in disbelief, only to find that the pupils of Ye Chen's eyes were flashing with firelight.

  "You're no match for me, and you can't take revenge on me! Let's just forget about the past grievances and end it here."

  Ye Chen looked at him and said coldly.

  "Good!"

  Chen Rongyuan looked at Ye Chen with a disappointed expression and said with difficulty. The Water Concealment Technique was his only reliance to deal with Ye Chen, and if even the Water Concealment couldn't work, he would be completely unable to do anything about Ye Chen. Giving up was his only choice.

  Chen Rongyuan's figure disappeared from inside the Demon-Suppressing Tower and was forcibly sent out of the tower.

  "Did you kick Chen Rongyuan out of the tower?! How did you find him?"

  Xu Ao was about to enter the third floor of the Demon Tower when he turned back and saw this scene, shocking him as he looked towards Ye Chen. Someone like Chen Rongyuan, a young master from a prestigious family, had many rivals in Xian City, at least over ten people, but for a moment, Xu Ao couldn't think of any grudges between Ye Chen and Chen Rongyuan, nor did he know who Ye Chen was.

  "Nothing, I've learned Huo Yan! Injure him before he makes a move!"

  Ye Chen said in a soft voice.

  "You've actually spent effort learning such an obscure spell like Huo Yan!? Tsk, but it just so happens to counter Chen Rongyuan!"

  Xu Ao found it hard to believe, shaking his head and saying, "He's really unlucky. His strength should have been enough to get a Xianmen Token, but now he's severely injured and out of the tower. Just healing will take at least a day, and re-entering the tower, the hope of getting a Xianmen Token is probably less than one in ten."

  "Go, into the third floor of the Town Demon Tower!"

  Ye Chen and several others entered the main gate of the Tongdao in a file.
