Reborn as a Mountain: I Defy the Heavens with a Smile

"Hmph, don't be arrogant, brat! Just wait for the truth to be shown and I will let you know the consequence of killing innocents!" Xi Yanzhou snorted with anger and threw the 'stone of true words' towards Ye Chen.

This stone was a rare treasure and only worked on the cultivators below the core formation stage.

"We will see about the consequences," Ye Chen displayed no panic as he held the stone of true words.

However, Li Mei and others were anxious. Although it looked like Ye Chen did not kill them, what if he did something else? Wouldn't the blame still fall on him?

Thinking of this, Su Qiming and others became ready to fight.

"Tell me, did you kill the disciples of the Flame Dragon Sect?" Xi Yanzhou inquired coldly.

"No, I did not," Ye Chen denied with a calm look.

Everyone could not help but look at the stone in his hand; however, even after a while, the stone did not change color, which meant he was telling the truth.

"Did you see them or injure them?" Xi Yanzhou continued to ask.

"I did see them; however, there was no fight."

"Did you kill other disciples deliberately?"

"They attacked me first and few of them even collided with the fallen sect to kill me," Ye Chen replied with a composed look.

Hearing him, many elders from different sects felt their hearts getting tightened and when they saw the stone remaining white, their expressions became ugly.

No one wanted to take the heavy blame of their disciples striking a deal with a fallen and heretical sect.

Zhu Wenkai and Xi Yanzhou's expressions were not good as they saw things not working in their favor.

"Junior brother, go kill and punish that guy! How dare he falsely accuse my brother Ye Chen?"

At this moment the little girl Lin Xian'er commanded while looking at Crown Prince Ji Feng.

The old man had taken him as in name only disciple, so his status and seniority were both below a thirteen-year-old girl.

The crown prince's mouth could not help but twitch slightly at this; nonetheless, he nodded at her.

"Don't worry, senior sister, I will take care of this," he replied and glanced at Lu Changhe with a nod.

"Xi Yanzhou, it's time to give up on your spatial rings!" Lu Changhe stated with a cold look.

"What spatial ring are you talking about? Did anyone see me agreeing with that brat?"

"Yes, we did not agree so don't try to force us."

Xi Yanzhou and Zhu Wenkai retorted with a sneer.

Hearing him, Lu Changhe and everyone else's expression was not good and just as someone could speak, Ye Chen's voice echoed.

"Don't bother talking to them; they just want to waste time so the fallen and heretical sect could come back. They had even sent sound transmission to Fallen Sect and Mo Tianji. If you do not believe, look at the north and east directions carefully; those two are already here," Ye Chen said calmly.

Hearing him, everyone's face twisted with anger and before Xi Yanzhou could clear his name, a few claps rang out.

"I have to say you really have a keen eye, brat," Mo Tianji came out from hiding and spoke.

In response, Ye Chen just shrugged his shoulders.

"It's not that my eyes are keen; it's just the technique you are using for hiding is trash," he stated with disdain.

"Hmph! Brat, you are really arrogant but today is the day you die," Mo Tianji said and waved his hand.

In that instant, a few powerful elders arrived along with Qi condensation and foundation stage cultivators.

Seeing this, every elder from the righteous side stepped forward to fight and started to make escape plans for their disciples.

"You go and take others away; leave this to me," Zhen Yunqi said with a serious look.

She knew who Ye Chen was and understood he had the ability to escape from such a situation.

But to her surprise, Ye Chen shook his head.

"I won't go unless I take spatial rings from them," he stated, looking at Xi Yanzhou and the elders of the Flame Dragon Sect.

"Okay, be careful then," Zhen Yunqi said before joining with Su Qiming and others who were secretly discussing an escape plan for their disciples.

"Attack!"

Mo Tianji did not give them time to think and launched an offensive.

However, the elders were actually not worried about him but the fallen sect, which was still hiding and changing its positions from time to time.

The heretical sect also had to be worried about them, as they might fish in troubled water.

"Buddha's Palm!" Wei Sun attacked not towards the heretical but fallen sect's hiding place.

If there was anyone who did not have to worry about the fallen sect's techniques, then it was Buddhist Temple, so he had no choice but to be a main force.

"Hmph! Your tricks are useless now."

Suddenly a dark, sinister palm appeared and countered Wei Sun's attack.

The one who made the move was none other than Kong Yanluo with a dark, sunken face.

"We will see who is the useless evil spirit!"

Boom! Bang! Boom!

Wei Sun and others started to fight with the fallen sect, while Zhen Yunqi and others engaged with the heretical sect.

Within a few seconds the forest below disappeared, turning into broken land. Fortunately, a few elders were still protecting disciples behind them, so they did not get harmed.

"Senior brother, what should we do?" Li Mei inquired with an anxious look.

Who knows when, but Lin Xian'er, Wang Yiyi, and Liu Jiarong all arrived behind him.

"Just watch for now. They are taking those strong ones further away. It was at this moment the Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment cultivators would attack," Ye Chen replied calmly.

"Brother Ye Chen, did you really not kill that Zhu Dong and the disciples from the Flame Dragon Sect?" Lin Xian'er came beside him and whispered cursorily.

In response, Ye Chen knocked her head.

"Why are you so curious? Don't you know the cat dies because of curiosity?"

"Hehe, I am not a cat so tell me, tell me."

Both Ye Chen and Lin Xian'er displayed no worries and continued to joke around, making everyone beside them speechless.

The enemy was just in front and even aiming for their lives yet these two were still like this.

"Ye Chen! Where is my son?!"

At this moment a shout came from behind. It was none other than Hu Ming, Hu Tian's father. He was not here with everyone else because he was busy making some urgent arrangements.

However, once he received the report of missing Hu Tian, he came running here. On the way he already got to know what Ye Chen did and like everyone else, he put the blame on Ye Chen.

Although Ye Chen did kill his son, technically Hu Tian had died before even he could meet with him. Furthermore, Lu Feng was still alive; he was just captured inside his sea of consciousness.

"Hmm, did Brother Chen kill Hu Tian?" Lan Ming and others became puzzled.

From the start they had never encountered Hu Tian and even if Ye Chen met him, why would he kill him unless Hu Tian attacked?

But after knowing Ye Chen's strength, no one would make such a stupid mistake unless they were Song Lingxi.

"You should ask those people rather than asking me," Ye Chen replied, pointing at the heretical sect disciples.

Hu Ming's expression could not help but become filled with killing intent. Not towards the heretical sect but Ye Chen; however, it was only for an instant and he hid it cleverly.

But who was Ye Chen? His senses were already top notch and with the assimilation of nine dragon hearts, his senses became even more terrifying.

So, he noticed this change instantly but said nothing.

"Get ready, we are going to fight," Ye Chen instructed as he saw the fallen and heretical sect getting pushed back.

Hearing him Li Mei and others did not hesitate and brandished their weapons. Even the little girl Lin Xian'er took out her tier-9 sword, Moonpetal Blade.

This sword was made from special materials and could adjust the size on its own. So, the little girl had no problem wielding it.

"Stay in groups; don't wander off, especially you two," Ye Chen stated, glancing at Lin Xian'er and Wang Yiyi.

In response, one just smiled with an evil look while the other one stuck her tongue out.

Watching them, Ye Chen rolled his eyes and secretly sent a sound transmission to Li Mei and Lan Ming, reminding them of a few things.

After which he did not hesitate and flew ahead.

His actions stunned almost everyone, and many thought he was courting death.

The enemy were, after all, Qi-condensation and foundation establishment stage, not some Qi-gathering or Qi-refining he had been killing.

"Let's go kill!"

As soon as the heretical sect disciples saw him, they roared furiously and attacked.

Ye Chen was not behind either; he brandished the heavenly spear and shot like an arrow.
