Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 75: Ye Cangqian’s Killing Intent

Cyan Moon Sword Sect, Thousand Tribulations Sword Peak.

Ye Cangqian’s expression grew incredibly solemn as he watched the Projection Stones.

’He actually managed to sever the murderous Sword Intent on the Sword Enlightenment Platform? His soul was crushed, his bones were shattered... and yet, in less than two months, his Realm didn’t regress—it advanced? He’s already reached the Half-step Sword Heart Realm?’

’He didn’t die even after all that? What in the world is going on?’

’This Ye Tianling... he must have some incredible destiny, some profound secret!’

After watching all the Projection Stones, Ye Cangqian fell into deep thought.

The desire in his eyes grew even more intense, and his killing intent surged.

’No, I can’t let him grow any stronger. Once he comprehends the Sword Heart and enters the Sword Heart Third Heaven Realm, with his Talent and the terrifying foundation he’s displayed, he’ll likely have enough Battle Power to fight someone in the Sword Soul Realm! I’m only at the Sword Soul Third Heaven Realm myself. I have to guard against this.’

’Master has entered the Celestial Dragon Sword Tomb. Ye Tianling’s performance, severing the Lonely Sword Intent, has even caught the attention of the Ten Thousand Swords Sacred Land. Although Master has some standing in the Holy Land, it can’t compare to Lin Yuchan or Die Xiyue. Putting Lin Yuchan aside, Die Xiyue is completely devoted to protecting Ye Tianling.’

’I have to take advantage of the fact that Wan Jianyun and the other Sword Tribulation Realm experts are gone to uncover Ye Tianling’s secrets. If I can’t, then I’ll just suppress and kill him outright. I need to pull this weed out by the roots to prevent endless trouble down the line.’

More ideas formed in Ye Cangqian’s mind, and his resolve hardened.

Ye Cangqian activated a Communication Jade Scroll, infusing it with his Sword Soul Power. The jade scroll transformed into a streak of sword light, shot towards the sky, and quickly vanished.

A little over a hundred breaths later, a burly man in green swordsman’s robes, his face covered by a thick, bushy beard, arrived via Sword Control and landed in front of Ye Cangqian.

"Uncle Qingfeng, there’s something I need you to do."

Ye Cangqian gave a slight fist-and-palm salute. Though his tone was courteous, it carried an undercurrent of command.

"Cangqian, is this about the son of that bastard, Ye Fengyang? The matter has caused quite a stir. I’ve already heard about it."

Ye Qingfeng asked thoughtfully.

Ye Cangqian nodded. "Precisely. That Ye Tianling... I suppressed him so thoroughly, and yet he didn’t die! Que Xinyan must have used his deep reserves to save him, but with such a terrifying growth rate, he’s bound to progress even further.

Such Talent, destiny, comprehension, and Battle Power cannot be ignored. That’s why I want you to act. Capture him, study his bloodline, and analyze the specific mutation of his Fiery Sun Sword Body and Fiery Sun Sword. Also, he has the Soul Talent, doesn’t he? I wonder if a Talent like that can be extracted using the Bloodthirsty Soul Refining Technique."

Ye Cangqian stated his thoughts plainly, holding nothing back.

Ye Qingfeng nodded slightly. "I had the same thought. Cangqian, with your Talent, if you can achieve a further transformation, even an Acquired Fiery Flame Sword Body would certainly be stronger than an Innate Fiery Sun Sword Body. And if you could obtain the Soul Talent and combine it with your Fiery Flame Sword Body, your abilities in Artifact Refining, Alchemy, and Array Refining would all unify!

Then you will be peerless, truly one of a kind, and invincible in this world!"

Ye Cangqian said, "Exactly. That’s precisely my thinking."

Ye Qingfeng said, "But, Cangqian, the Thousand Tribulations Wanderer is your Master, after all. If you make a move on Ye Tianling without his knowledge, how will you handle it without his help? When it comes to understanding and mastering the Bloodthirsty Soul Refining Technique, he is far more proficient than you, after all."

Ye Cangqian said grimly, "I can’t give Ye Tianling any more time to grow. His pace is too fast; it’s already making me uneasy. How long has it been? It’s only been a few days since he recovered, but he’s already effectively killed three of the Nine Swords Sect’s top genius disciples! You must understand, all three of them were at the Sword Spirit Third Heaven Realm, and two of them had even reached Half-step Sword Soul!

I’m only at the Sword Soul Third Heaven Realm. And while the gap between the Sword Spirit and Sword Soul Realms is as wide as the heavens, I would rather kill an innocent man than let him escape!"

Ye Qingfeng said, "That makes perfect sense. Besides, we’ve tried to kill this Ye Tianling several times and failed. He’s clearly a person of great Qi Fortune and destiny. So, we either do nothing and let him lower his guard, or we seize the right moment to deliver a fatal blow, making sure he never gets another chance to stir up trouble!"

Ye Cangqian said, "Right. That’s exactly what I was thinking. That’s why I’ve called you here, Uncle. I want to utterly erase him—I’d rather lose out on his secrets than fail to remove this thorn from my side for good!"

Ye Qingfeng said, "Mm. As long as the Thousand Tribulations Wanderer doesn’t cause any problems, I won’t even give Ye Tianling a second thought. His Battle Power may be heaven-defying, but his limit is the Sword Soul Realm. He can’t even fight back against a minion who has a Sword Soul. That is the difference—an unbreakable barrier! This also proves that his soul hasn’t truly recovered. No matter how perfectly intact he appears, he ultimately shouldn’t be able to condense a Sword Soul.

However, this boy is no ordinary person. We can’t judge him by common standards, and we can’t afford to be careless." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Ye Cangqian said, "So, Uncle, when you go this time, lay low and wait for the perfect opportunity. Get close to Ye Tianling and use a Soul-locking technique to suppress him in one move. If you can’t capture him, kill him on the spot!"

Ye Qingfeng asked, "Mm, Cangqian, can you get in touch with Senior Thousand Tribulations Wanderer?"

Ye Cangqian replied, "I can’t reach him. It will take them at least three months to get out of the Celestial Dragon Sword Tomb, and that’s the absolute minimum. You know what the Celestial Dragon Sword Tomb is like—its horrors and dangers are beyond words. It’s teeming with Thunder Tribulations, and the murderous will of countless thunderbolts makes their situation perilous. It’s incredibly difficult to enter and emerge safely.

I’ve also heard that a bloodline Inheritor from the ancient and reclusive Dragon Race has appeared this time, but the specific details are unknown."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingfeng’s expression immediately turned solemn. "In that case, there’s no need to report it. Your Master will surely understand. I’ll make my move now and capture that Ye Tianling!"

Ye Cangqian asked, "Uncle Qingfeng, what is your current Realm?"

A confident smile spread across Ye Qingfeng’s face. "I’ve already stepped into the Sixth Change of Sword Void Realm."

A look of satisfaction crossed Ye Cangqian’s face. "At that Realm, you could instantly kill even me. No matter how heaven-defying Ye Tianling is, this time, he’s doomed! He’ll never expect that I’d ask a peerless expert of the Void Realm like you, Uncle, to personally deal with him!"

Ye Qingfeng let out a sharp, arrogant laugh and sneered, "That little bastard is far too arrogant, thinking Wan Jianyun and Die Xiyue actually value him so highly. He has no idea he’s just a pawn with some minor use. Wan Jianyun is hopelessly foolish, stubborn, and conservative; he genuinely wants to protect the boy. But that Die Xiyue is a treacherous, opportunistic snake of the highest order.

Die Xiyue probably had a hand in Ye Tianling stirring up all this trouble. But the emergence of the Celestial Dragon Sword Tomb was unexpected. She’ll never guess that by the time she gets out, Ye Tianling will be nothing but dust!"

Ye Cangqian sneered. "Die Xiyue’s intentions are actually quite obvious. She was just using the Nine Swords Sect to temper Ye Tianling’s disposition. But I doubt even she expected him to be so arrogant. This whole affair... is rather amusing."
