Ye Chen learns that Jun Mo has been sent to the Nine Cold Sect and confronts the Jun Family. The Jun Family elders are dismissive, viewing Jun Mo's mission as a necessary sacrifice and Ye Chen as an insignificant obstacle. Enraged by their callousness, Ye Chen vows to save Jun Mo himself. Before heading to the Nine Cold Sect, Ye Chen ensures Jun Mo's parents are safe by providing them with a powerful Six Paths Talisman.

Should Ye Chen face peril, activating this Six Paths Talisman would summon Wu Duan Cang to personally safeguard him, serving as a crucial life-saving trump card. Yet, out of consideration for their past friendship, Ye Chen entrusted such a significant artifact to Jun Mo’s parents.

Clutching the Six Paths Talisman, Jun Mo’s parents were filled with profound gratitude and a sense of comfort, knowing Jun Mo had a steadfast friend in Ye Chen.

However, when informed that Ye Chen intended to venture to the Nine Cold Sect to retrieve Jun Mo, his parents appeared hesitant to voice their thoughts.

"Uncle, Aunty, if there is anything on your minds, please speak it without reservation," Ye Chen inquired, noticing their unease, his eyebrows arching slightly.

"Ye Chen…" Jun Mo’s father addressed him with utmost seriousness at that moment. "While we are grateful for your willingness to rescue Mo’er, the Nine Cold Sect possesses immense power. Once Mo’er reaches them, his fate is all but sealed. We cannot bear to watch you similarly risk your life."

Even with Ye Chen’s relentless pace, a sign of Jun Mo was nowhere to be found by the time he arrived at the gates of the Nine Cold Sect. It was evident that Jun Mo had already gained entry into the Nine Cold Sect.

Sprawling mountain ranges filled its domain, reflecting the Nine Cold Sect’s vast expanses, a fitting testament to its esteemed standing within the Moon Soul Domain.

An imposing mountain loomed before Ye Chen, at the base of which lay a colossal portal radiating a golden luminescence. Engraved upon a plaque of seven-colored glazed glass above the portal were three grand characters, exuding an almost captivating power.

"Nine Cold Sect!"

Ye Chen’s eyes glinted. Merely observing the mountain gate of the Nine Cold Sect instantly conveyed an aura of supreme authority, solidifying its status as a preeminent power.

At this juncture, four disciples, each having attained the Heavenly Repairing Realm, stood guard on either side of the Nine Cold Sect’s grand entrance. They observed Ye Chen with cold indifference, questioning the presence of a young man at the Heavenly God Realm within their sacred grounds.

"Boy, what are you doing here? Do you not recognize this as the Nine Cold Sect? Be gone at once."

A stout young disciple amongst the guards fixed Ye Chen with a glare and admonished him. The Nine Cold Sect was revered as an inviolable Holy Land in this vast territory, held in awe by countless families and sects, which bred a sense of profound arrogance within them.

Upon hearing the gate-guarding disciple’s summons, Ye Chen’s lips curved into a subtle smile as he proceeded directly towards the four sentinels.

"I am Ye Chen, the Chief Disciple of the Six Paths Sect, and I have arrived at your esteemed sect to seek out a friend."

Without further preamble, Ye Chen presented the Chief Disciple’s token from the Six Paths Sect.

While the Six Paths Sect was currently experiencing a decline, its former prestige remained significant, and the Chief Disciple’s token was undoubtedly genuine. The four guardians immediately recognized its authenticity.

However, upon noticing Ye Chen’s cultivation was merely at the Heavenly God Realm, the expressions of the four gate-guarding disciples shifted to one of peculiar amusement. The Six Paths Sect had indeed fallen so low that its Chief Disciple was only at the Heavenly God Realm – their current visit to the Nine Cold Sect was utterly undignified.

"Ha ha."

At this precise moment, the disciple who had just reprimanded Ye Chen regarded him with a sneering smile. "So, you are the esteemed Chief Disciple of the Six Paths Sect. Pray tell, who precisely are you searching for within our Nine Cold Sect?"

"I can arrange for someone to be notified, but given your current cultivation level, it would be most advisable for you not to venture further into our Nine Cold Sect. It would spare your Six Paths Sect further embarrassment."

The disciple’s words were utterly devoid of mercy, a blatant mockery directed at Ye Chen, causing his gaze to cool. It appeared that the Six Paths Sect’s diminished stature over the years had led these aspiring sects to forget its once-unrivaled might.

"The individual I seek is likely beyond your purview."

Ye Chen looked at the disciple and replied with a chilling smile.
