Ye Chen encountered a mysterious old fisherman at Cloud Gazing Peak and, guided by Han Wenxin, engaged in profound discourse on karma, forging an unlikely friendship before the elder vanished upon sensing an approach. Pressing onward to the summit, Ye Chen attempted to breach a formidable seal linked to the Nine Heaven Netherworld Formation using his mastery. Lei Rong's sudden treacherous intervention caused the seal to erupt violently, blasting both down the mountain and alerting the entire Six Paths Sect to the disturbance.

Right now, Lei Rong noticed the thick crowd surrounding him, a malicious smirk flashing in his Yin energy-laden eyes. He turned to Ye Chen and scolded with false righteousness: "Ye Chen, you slyly tried to shatter the grand elder’s seal—what are your intentions!"

"I knew you harbored hidden schemes when you joined the Six Paths Sect—confess, what is your real goal!"

With Lei Rong’s accusations ringing out, the onlookers grasped the scenario, their faces hardening as they glared at Ye Chen; even his former allies now burned with fury.

Within the Six Paths Sect, the grand elder stands as the supreme pillar, the very bedrock of the sect’s existence. Ye Chen’s deed amounted to outright defiance, igniting blazing rage in everyone, no matter their ties to him.

"Ye Chen, explain yourself—what did you scheme by creeping onto Cloud Gazing Peak!"

"Talk! Or I’ll slay you on the spot—you’re pure evil!"

"Hmph, I always suspected this brat was trouble. Allow me to capture him straight into my Holy Cloud Furnace!"

Just then, Zhou Jin rushed in, his features twisted in menace, icy gleam in his eyes as he bellowed at Ye Chen, a compact furnace materializing in his grasp. From it, clouds surging with Holy Energy billowed forth, radiating tremendous power.

Zhou Jin brimmed with thrill at this instant. Without the swarm of witnesses, he’d have cackled wildly toward the heavens.

Earlier, Zhou Jin had suffered utter shame from Ye Chen atop Netherworld Peak, coming perilously close to death. A burning grudge against Ye Chen festered within him. Now, Ye Chen’s foolhardy move on Cloud Gazing Peak handed Zhou Jin his perfect chance.

Were it not for fear of Wu Duan Cang’s fury, Zhou Jin would seal Ye Chen into the Holy Cloud Furnace for endless torture. Netherworld Peak would then become Zhou Jin’s domain.

As the masses kept roaring in outrage, some harboring dark schemes and sly gazes, Ye Chen stayed utterly calm, offering no defense. He truly aimed to undo Cloud Gazing Peak’s seal—that was undeniable fact.

Atop Six Paths Peak, inside a vast hall, Wu Duan Cang faced Elder Dao Pao. The uproar from outside reached their ears, prompting knowing grins from both.

"Heh, I figured this brat wouldn’t heed my words, desperate to see the grand elder. Just as I predicted."

Wu Duan Cang raised his teacup, beaming with satisfaction, savoring a slow sip like he’d witnessed something splendid.

"But could the grand elder shift his stance over this young punk?"

Elder Dao Pao, lounging casually, voiced his doubt with a brief pause.

"Hard to say."

Wu Duan Cang shook his head at those words, his sight drifting to Cloud Gazing Peak.

"You know full well—ever since that event, the grand elder grew detached from all worldly matters, even scorning life itself. Lately, his life force wanes further, leaving us powerless save to pin hopes on this youth."

"Here’s hoping. This fellow’s quite the anomaly, boasting exceptional talent and bloodline. Should the grand elder lay eyes on him, perhaps a shift occurs. We must wait to see if he works some miracle."

Elder Dao Pao nodded along, voicing his accord.

Wu Duan Cang rose then, grinning as he eyed Cloud Gazing Peak.

"The lad’s now everyone’s enemy, trapped in peril. Yet the grand elder stays silent—it looks like I must stir the pot and shield him from sect harm."

Wu Duan Cang teased lightly, yet abruptly, a vast, crushing aura erupted from him. His thundering, wrathful command echoed across the entire sect.

"Ye Chen, defying counsel, you dared assault Cloud Gazing Peak to bother the grand elder with wicked aims. Report to the Six Paths Temple for judgment!"

These words sent tremors through the whole sect once more. Down at Cloud Gazing Peak’s base, Six Paths Sect disciples and elders eyed Ye Chen with gleeful malice.

Wu Duan Cang wielded immense power in the Six Paths Sect, stemming not just from his overwhelming might but his iron-fisted discipline.

Heading to Six Paths Temple for confession meant Ye Chen might survive, but torment awaited—likely banishment from the sect.

"Hmph, you wretched brat, you’re finished!"

Zhou Jin sneered triumphantly at Ye Chen right then. Ye Chen had triggered catastrophe; even if spared expulsion from Six Paths Sect, his Chief Disciple role was lost. Netherworld Peak would fall to Zhou Jin, letting him torment Ye Chen freely henceforth.

Lei Rong and fellow disciples smirked mockingly, eager for Ye Chen’s doom. Lately, Ye Chen dazzled on Netherworld Peak via the array, fueling their seething jealousy and desire for his downfall.

Ye Chen stayed unmoved amid the crowd's vicious glares, Wu Duan Cang’s words still reverberating through his thoughts.

Ye Chen had truly brushed off Wu Duan Cang’s counsel, determined to visit Cloud Gazing Peak and meet Grand Elder Zhou Jiu Tong. Even absent malicious intent, an error stayed an error.

Next, Ye Chen set off for the Six Paths Temple, as the spectators parted with gleeful expressions.

Right now, no one felt rushed to confront Ye Chen. Wu Duan Cang’s fury alongside Ye Chen’s temple summons promised dire retribution, sparking immense satisfaction among them.

Yet the moment Ye Chen advanced, Cloud Gazing Peak quaked fiercely, chaos erupting. An enormous Great Power surged over the heavens, eclipsing sun and moon, its dreadfully regal wrath cascading down, making all shudder in terror while warily eyeing Cloud Gazing Peak.

Ye Chen sensed this surge too, his face subtly shifting. The force was overwhelmingly immense, surpassing his present power to resist, causing his heart to dip slightly.

Grand Elder Zhou Jiu Tong appeared to have stirred. Had Ye Chen’s deeds provoked his ire?

Ye Chen reflected that if Zhou Jiu Tong raged, the trouble might exceed even judgment at the Six Paths Temple, turning far more perilous.

Meanwhile, fellow disciples and elders flashed sly grins, their gazes locked on Ye Chen.

"Hahaha! Ye Chen, you trespassed Cloud Gazing Peak, angering the grand elder. Now that he’s furious, he’ll surely punish and annihilate you. You’re doomed!"

Lei Rong bellowed with laughter, his elation surging. His profound hatred toward Ye Chen transformed the youth’s plight into his supreme delight.

"Ye Chen, with your sinister motives, the grand elder saw through it long ago. Now he’s stripping away all your disguises, letting everyone see your wolfish ambitions!"

Just then, Zhou Jin yelled out too, his words brimming with blame, utterly defaming Ye Chen.

Their barbs ignited a flash of killing intent in Ye Chen’s eyes. Lei Rong could be stomached, but Zhou Jin kept slandering him relentlessly. As an elder devoid of dignity, he even scrambled with disciples over prized territories, rendering him fully worthy of death.
