"Is this the Qingzhou Tripod?"

Tian Yazi recognized the divine artifact Li Chen used to kill Jian Changming and immediately let out an incredulous cry.

Jian Chen, Ling Yunlong, Zhuge Leiting, and other big figures and crocodiles were also shocked.

Before Emperor Yu ascended to the Immortal Realm, he scattered the nine divine tripods he forged during his life in the Human World to guard Jiuzhou.

Legend has it that if one can find all nine cauldrons, they can open the Path to Ascension and achieve immortality.

For hundreds of years, countless outstanding geniuses and Great Powers have never given up searching for the whereabouts of the nine cauldrons.

However, basically, all have been in vain.

Only the Master Sanchi once chanced upon the Qingzhou Tripod.

But ever since his mysterious fall, this Qingzhou Tripod has completely disappeared from Jiuzhou. For the millennia following, there hasn't been the slightest trace of the divine tripods.

Never did anyone expect the Qingzhou Tripod, missing for a thousand years, would reappear on the Ascending Dragon Platform!

Seeing the legendary treasure of Emperor Yu emerge, even those accustomed to the ups and downs of life couldn't sit still, their bodies trembling with excitement.

In an instant, those big figures and crocodiles, their eyes blazing with heat, were eager to rush and seize this Qingzhou Divine Tripod.

Though Li Chen relied on the Qingzhou Tripod to kill the veteran Nascent Soul Jian Changming, it also exhausted all his True Yuan. His face was as pale as frost, and the faint blood at the corners of his mouth was particularly glaring.

Now, in the eyes of the giants and crocodiles like Tian Yazi and Jian Chen, he is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Except now the situation is: the Ten Great Heavenly Sects and the Four Great Super Families are all watching intently.

And the lamb is just Li Chen alone.

"Li Chen, you first injured my disciples and now killed my junior brother; do you think I am just a decoration?"

Jian Chen, the sect leader of Heavenly Sword Mountain, reacted the quickest, initially targeting Li Chen under the guise of avenging his junior brother Jian Changming.

At this moment, he was even a bit grateful that the one who died was his own junior brother, not someone else's. Otherwise, he truly wouldn't have found such a righteous reason to silence questioning tongues.

My action is for avenging my junior brother, for maintaining Heavenly Sword Mountain's dignity, not merely to claim the Qingzhou Tripod for myself. Such a rightful cause, no one could criticize.

After all, my own junior brother's life has been lost there. No matter what, we must give Heavenly Sword Mountain an account.

However, Li Chen, who they see as a lamb, shows no inclination to obediently be slaughtered.

Li Chen's pupils slightly contracted, preparing to forcibly awaken the Meteorite Heart within his Sea of Consciousness, unleash the Nine Heavens Star Technique, and fight to the death, even if it means total destruction.

No matter who, to chew on this hard bone of Li Chen, they must first mentally ready themselves for breaking their teeth.

However, at that instant, a particularly domineering figure suddenly pierced through the sky, directly confronting Jian Chen.

"Boom!"

The deafening explosion sound roared, shattering the clouds within a radius of tens of miles, turning heaven and earth upside down.

After this clash, Jian Chen's figure quickly retreated. He staggered before stabilizing his balance.

With the brilliance fading, the mysterious figure revealed his Mount Lu true appearance.

But what surprised everyone was that this was not a person, but a majestic chair.

"Heng Mountain Unoccupied Seat?"

Master Qingyang was the first to cry out, his Green Cloud Sect neighboring the Demon Sect. He himself had dealt with the Heng Mountain Ancestor for over a hundred years, and was naturally very familiar with him.

However, the sudden appearance of Heng Mountain Ancestor also somewhat surprised him.

To his knowledge, since Heng Mountain Ancestor's physical body was destroyed sixty years ago, he had been forced to retreat into this mysterious chair, mostly staying at Heng Mountain's lair, rarely appearing outside.

Even when going out, it was around Heng Mountain and the Barbaric land. Today's deep venture into Penglai's belly is indeed a first.

There's always a monster with an unprecedented occurrence!

Could it be Heng Mountain Ancestor knew beforehand that Li Chen harbors the Qingzhou Divine Tripod?

After careful thought, Qingyang Town people deemed this possibility the greatest. Only the temptation of the Qingzhou Divine Tripod could make the always cautious Heng Mountain Ancestor take such a risk.

Tianyuan City is the lair of the True Immortal Alliance now, and during the Immortal Sect Martial Arts Competition, top experts from the Ten Great Heavenly Sects, the Four Great Super Families, and other Earth-level and Human-level sects, together with independent Great Powers, will also gather here.

Since Heng Mountain Ancestor dared to come at this critical juncture, he naturally relies on something.

Aside from this exceptionally formidable mysterious chair, he also has some top experts from their Holy Sect.

Left Protector Qiuu Rane, Right Protector Baili Xiang, Evil Scholar, Bloodthirsty Monk, Black Mountain Taoist, and a Barbarian Great Power Sha Moke specially invited by Heng Mountain Ancestor.

These six were all veteran Nascent Soul Strong People, and each possessed various strange Divine Skills. No matter who, their strength cannot be underestimated.

Seeing Heng Mountain Ancestor almost lead the elite experts of the Demon Sect to empty their nest, Tian Yazi, Ling Yunlong, and others all felt as though facing a great enemy, their expressions changing.

Tian Yazi, not only as the helmsman of the first-class Penglai Pavilion, but also the Alliance Hierarch of the True Immortal Alliance, naturally had to come out to preside over the overall situation in such a critical situation.

Only to see his slightly cloudy eyes, bright and clear, staring straight at Heng Mountain Ancestor, exuding authority without anger, he shouted sternly:

"Heng Mountain Ancestor, what is your purpose in coming to my Tianyuan City at this juncture?"

Heng Mountain Ancestor smiled grimly and replied: "Old Man Tianya, I heard your True Immortal Alliance is holding its sixty-year Immortal Sect Martial Arts Competition again. I've been bored at Heng Mountain, so I invited some friends over to watch the fun!"

After speaking, his gaze swept to the Ascending Dragon Platform below, carrying a mocking smile, and asked: "Ah, timely arrival indeed, catching such a wonderful spectacle!"

"Is that not Jian Changming, the Peak Master of Jianlai Peak at Heavenly Sword Mountain?"

The Evil Scholar had crossed paths with Jian Changming before and recognized him instantly.

"Oh dear, how could he die so horribly, being crushed into meat paste!"

Even the notorious female demon Baili Xiang, witnessing the shattered Jian Changming, couldn't help frowning.

"Amitabha Buddha, no wonder that old Jian Chen is so furious. His own junior brother has been publicly killed, it's virtually slapping his old face!"

The Bloodthirsty Monk clasped his hands together, chanting a Buddha title. His mouth grinned exceptionally wide; if not blocked by ears, it would likely reach the back of his head.

He's known as the Bloodthirsty Monk largely because of this scarlet mouth. He delights in eating live humans and never spits out bones, making people fear him, hair-raisingly terrified.

Black Mountain Taoist looked at the bloody remains of Jian Changming and then at Li Chen, immediately letting out a disbelieving cry.

"Could it be you, kid, killed Jian Changming?"
