"Oh, I was just asking casually." An Yi put on a nonchalant look and said, "I heard that the Night Emperor, An Yi, once beat up the gods of the Nine Heavens. Sounds pretty impressive."
"Where did you hear that from?" Ye Tian's expression changed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice.
An Yi's mouth twitched, and he asked in confusion, "Isn't this something everyone knows?"
"Good thing it's just the two of us here. Don't bring up that demon so carelessly," Ye Tian said helplessly.
Demon?
A hint of doubt appeared in An Yi's eyes.
He knew his reputation on the Ancient Continent was bad before, but he didn't expect it to have reached the point where people paled at the mere mention of it.
"I didn't expect you to know quite a lot."
Ye Tian said helplessly, "The world only knows that the Night Emperor, An Yi, offended the gods and was imprisoned in the Heaven-Reaching Tower to be executed.
But no one knows that the Night Emperor, An Yi, is the only existence in the human race capable of rivaling the gods. Even many gods were once defeated by him!"
"Oh, An Yi is very strong, everyone knows that. Get to the point," An Yi waved his hand calmly and said modestly.
However, Ye Tian was wrong about one thing.
In the human race, he wasn't the only one who could rival the gods in the past; there were a few other powerful experts who also had the ability to match the gods.
"The Night Gate intended to liberate the demon race from the underground abyss and let them reappear on the Ancient Continent. To protect the human race and stop the Night Gate's crazy actions, the gods launched an extermination campaign against the Night Gate..."
Hearing Ye Tian's explanation, the veins on An Yi's forehead bulged, and his fists trembled.
These bastards really dared to spout nonsense!
An Yi naturally knew the real reason.
It was because the Night Gate threatened the status of those gods!
The descendants of the Night Gate possessed extremely powerful bloodline talents, and their potential for growth was not inferior to the god race of the Nine Heavens.
This made those guys who called themselves gods restless, deeply afraid that the Night Gate would threaten their positions.
"I don't know much about him. The gods tried every means to destroy any trace of his existence, but he is the Night Emperor of the Night Gate after all, how could he be forgotten so easily," Ye Tian said slowly.
He had seen the ugly faces of those gods, so he naturally knew that things were definitely not as simple as they seemed on the surface.
An Yi's expression turned cold and stern.
If he didn't bring down those beasts, the entire continent would probably never have peace.
"It's been seven years since that happened. Seven years ago, it truly shook the entire continent," Ye Tian said leisurely.
"Seven years?"
An Yi was stunned, his face full of shock.
Wasn't it four years?!
He had only been on Blue Star for a total of four years. How did it become seven years when he returned to the Ancient Continent?
Three years just vanished into thin air?
"It's best not to ask around about the Night Emperor. If the people of the Divine Cult find out, they'll risk their lives to fight you," Ye Tian said. Then, using a probing tone, he added, "Young Master, then have you heard of Ye Nantian, the War Venerable?"
"Never heard of him. Ye Nantian... is that your nickname?" An Yi asked in confusion.
Ye Tian quickly shook his head, "No, no, he's a very powerful human spiritual cultivator. It's said that he was once a half-step Deity Transformation expert and fought a great battle with the Divine Son, Di Feng..."
An Yi raised an eyebrow, "Tch, what's there to brag about being at the half-step Deity Transformation stage?"
Ye Tian: "..."
Half-step Deity Transformation, isn't that impressive enough?! Why can't it be bragged about!
...
Early the next morning.
An Yi got two silver coins and forty copper coins from the waitress and continued on his way.
After a long trek, the two arrived at the foot of a mountain.
The rolling green mountains in the distance and the endless sea of trees made for beautiful scenery.
But it had a terrifying name—Ghost Grotto!
"Bypassing the Ghost Grotto, we'll reach Qi City," Ye Tian answered based on the route in his memory.
Half a year ago, Luo Xian took him through here, so he remembered it deeply.
The Ghost Grotto was extremely dangerous and had high-level demonic beasts. Back then, it took them three days to detour around this place.
An Yi took a look around, "Let's go, straight in."
Ye Tian: "..."
"I heard there are many ferocious demonic beasts inside. Should we detour first?" Ye Tian couldn't help but remind him.
An Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, "That's great."
Ye Tian fell silent for a moment.
He had suspected it more than once.
This guy clearly wanted to get him killed!
"Ahem, I mean, if we cut straight through the Ghost Grotto like this, we'll save a lot of time," An Yi said seriously.
Ye Tian couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "Then why don't you just fly me over!"
He had seen with his own eyes that this guy could spread two black wings from his back. Flying for a long time was not a problem at all.
"You contradict me no matter what I say, you contrarian!"
An Yi glared at him. Suddenly, his gaze turned sharp, and he said lightly, "There are a few trashes here, I'll leave them to you."
Ye Tian's eyes turned cold, clearly having noticed the problem too.
Swishing sounds rang out from the forest ahead.
Then, streaks of fire shot into the sky! They darted over!
An Yi raised his hand, and an invisible wall of air formed.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Countless arrows hit the air wall, leaving no trace at all, and fell to the ground.
"Damn it!"
Brother Chai, holding a longbow, turned pale with fright. Only then did he realize that this seemingly non-threatening guy was not simple.
"Attack!"
Brother Chai roared and rushed out first.
Behind him, five or six mercenaries followed closely, wielding large swords and slashing over.
"One at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, one at the early stage of Qi Refining, and five at the Body Forging stage. I'll leave them all to you," An Yi said calmly.
Over this period of time, Ye Tian's strength had already risen to the peak of the Qi Refining stage.
Although the other side had more people, it didn't seem to be a problem for Ye Tian.
Ye Tian nodded, gripped his long halberd, and a hint of blue fire appeared in his eyes.
"Hah!"
Suddenly, Ye Tian rushed over, wielding the long halberd covered in blue flames in his hands.
Blood flew!
Two mercenaries were cut in half, dying on the spot!
The remaining five were all frightened, feeling a chill rise from the soles of their feet.
An Yi watched and pondered slightly.
This Mystic Dark Divine Fire really had some tricks to it.
It didn't burn like an ordinary flame, but attached directly to the weapon, like a layer of blue blade aura!
A wisp of flame fluttered in Ye Tian's hand.
Then, two more mercenaries directly had a blue thread of fire appear on their necks, and their heads fell to the ground.
"I, I'll fight you to the death!"
The skinny mercenary actually had the strength of the early stage of Qi Refining.
He charged over with a large sword.
Ye Tian's eyes chilled, and he slashed back with his halberd, cutting the skinny mercenary in half at the waist.
In the blink of an eye, Brother Chai was the only mercenary left.
Brother Chai was dumbfounded, and his beard trembled from panic.
He suddenly thought of something. The demonic beasts in the two mountain ranges couldn't have been killed by this guy, right?
"My Lord! Spare my life!"
Brother Chai directly knelt on the ground, kowtowing heavily, trembling all over in fear.
Ye Tian's halberd was already raised.
"I know there's a secret treasure appearing in the Ghost Grotto!" Brother Chai screamed in fear.
Ye Tian paused slightly, "Where is it?"
Brother Chai trembled like a leaf in fear, "To the northwest, as long as you can spare me, I will..."
Swish!
The head was chopped off by the blue flame!
Ye Tian retracted his halberd and wiped the blood off the shaft, "He said there's a secret treasure, do you want to go take a look?"
An Yi said calmly, "It's a waste of time... Uh, let's go take a look."
Looking at the quest prompt, An Yi was left somewhat speechless.
The system was getting stingier and stingier.
"Ding! Side Quest: [Tomb Raiding]! Reward: Evil Points +20!"

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
