The news of Ye Chu causing a massive disturbance at the Sacred Land quickly spread, as the loss of the pills was of great importance.
The disciples of the Rain Mist Sacred Land already knew, and with so many people knowing, there was inevitably gossip.
Many people who did not belong to the Rain Mist Sacred Land also knew by this time that someone had broken into the Sacred Land, snatched its pills, and even plundered the temporary palace of their prince.
This news shocked countless people. Who could have thought that a dignified Sacred Land would be bullied right at its own doorstep? This was simply the biggest joke in the world.
Among everyone, a middle aged man was the most shocked. He was the very same middle aged man who had briefly crossed paths with Ye Chu below the Rain Mist Sacred Land.
Back when Ye Chu said that the Rain Mist Sacred Land would undergo a great change, he had only laughed it off, thinking the young man was joking.
But now that the pills of the Sacred Land had been stolen, everything had come true. It was obvious that this was all his doing.
The middle aged man was filled with extreme regret. If he had known earlier that this young man possessed such strength, he would definitely have begged to become his disciple.
Naturally, the Rain Mist Sacred Land had lost all face. The originally arrogant disciples of the Rain Mist Sacred Land suddenly became low profile in their actions, and a layer of gloom hung over the entire Sacred Land.
Everyone was waiting for Ye Chu to be killed so they could feel vindicated, because they all knew that if Ye Chu did not die, the face of the Rain Mist Sacred Land would truly be completely wiped out.
Someone ran to your house, stole from your house, and even though you knew exactly who it was, you could do nothing about him. What was this if not being slapped in the face?
Therefore, they all focused their attention on the Rain Mist Prince, hoping that he would tear these people to pieces.
The Rain Mist Prince naturally knew what everyone was thinking, and he thought the same way himself. However, the result made him frown endlessly.
He personally asked the Saint Elder to take action, but even with the Saint Elder using his profound arts, he failed to find Ye Chu. The Saint Elder even left the Rain Mist Sacred Land to pursue Ye Chu because of this, yet he still failed to find him.
This result was not only unbelievable to the Rain Mist Prince, but also to the Supreme Elders of the Rain Mist Sacred Land and others.
What kind of figure was the Saint Elder? Let alone Ye Chu, even a Law Realm expert would find it impossible to escape right under his nose. But Ye Chu had done it. No matter how the Saint Elder searched, he could not find Ye Chu.
“How could this be?” Everyone frowned, their hearts filled with shock.
The Rain Mist Prince was even more furious and requested the Saint Elder to search again, but the answer he received was, “I cannot sense his aura, so I do not know where he has fled. Although my strength is extraordinary, without the guidance of an aura, it is difficult to find him. It is like trying to find an ant in a mountain range, which is extremely difficult.”
Hearing the Saint Elder say this, although the Rain Mist Prince was unwilling to accept it, he did not dare to demand anything more from the Saint Elder.
However, he could not swallow this insult no matter what, especially since that brat had threatened to give his underpants to an old woman. If Ye Chu really did that, what face would he have to show people?
Thinking of this, the Rain Mist Prince immediately summoned quite a few experts, “All of you, follow me down the mountain. That person must die. Hmph, I do not believe he can escape to the heavens.”
The Rain Mist Prince was determined to kill Ye Chu. Regardless of whether it was for the stone zither or for face, Ye Chu had to die.
The Rain Mist Prince’s actions immediately gained the approval of the majority in the Sacred Land. If they did not kill Ye Chu, they would not be able to hold their heads high. Therefore, quite a few elders requested to join the battle, demanding to be included in the ranks pursuing and killing Ye Chu.
A massive group of people descended from the Sacred Land just like that. Seeing this, outsiders could not help but sneer. They thought to themselves that they previously believed the Rain Mist Sacred Land was so strong and a blessed land of immortals, but now it seemed it was nothing special. Someone had plundered them completely, and yet they could just leave whenever they wanted.
Thinking of this, many cultivators gave up the idea of going to the Rain Mist Sacred Land to become disciples. They even started thinking about how they could get Ye Chu to accept them as his disciples.
The topic regarding Ye Chu spread outwards from the Rain Mist Sacred Land as the centre.
Ye Chu naturally heard all of this. Hearing the dismissive remarks about the Rain Mist Sacred Land one after another, a smile played on the corners of Ye Chu’s mouth. He thought to himself that this time he had truly humiliated the Rain Mist Sacred Land properly, which counted as venting his own frustration.
Ye Chu had not gone too far from the Rain Mist Sacred Land. He was just a hundred miles away from it. When Ye Chu left the Rain Mist Sacred Land back then, he relied on the Chaos Green Qi to completely conceal his aura. Ye Chu no longer used his power and only travelled on foot.
Without any aura leaking out, the people of the Rain Mist Sacred Land naturally found it difficult to track him. Even if the Saint Elder of the Rain Mist Sacred Land took action, he could not sense him. This was the divine effect of the Chaos Green Qi, which could merge oneself with nature, making one hard to find.
Of course, the prerequisite was that he did not use his own power. Otherwise, with the strength of the Saint Elder of the Rain Mist Sacred Land, he would be discovered in an instant.
Relying purely on walking, Ye Chu naturally could not go very far. Along the way, Ye Chu heard various discussions and listened to matters concerning the Rain Mist Sacred Land, which made his journey quite interesting.
Naturally, he occasionally encountered disciples of the Rain Mist Sacred Land, but they did not recognise Ye Chu. Coupled with Ye Chu acting ordinary, some people passed right under his nose without approaching him.
When the Rain Mist Prince led a massive group of people to pursue and kill him, Ye Chu also hid at a distance and took a look. Looking at the people the Rain Mist Prince brought down the mountain, he could not help but click his tongue in amazement.
This time, the Rain Mist Prince had mobilised a massive force. Not only did Yushi follow him, but several people who had reached the Xuanhua Realm also followed him down the mountain. There were countless other disciples of various kinds, fully displaying the majesty of the Sacred Land Prince.
With such a vast force descending the mountain just to hunt him down, Ye Chu even felt a sense of pride. Of course, Ye Chu was not stupid enough to run out and duel the Rain Mist Prince. Such power was truly not something he could contend with.
The massive actions of the Rain Mist Prince shocked those who witnessed it. The previous discussions about the Rain Mist Sacred Land also became quieter, and people no longer dared to talk about it casually.
Because anyone following the Rain Mist Prince could easily take their lives.
“Cough… If the Rain Mist Prince and others are so strong yet still suffered at the hands of Ye Chu, does that not mean Ye Chu is much stronger than them? Exactly how strong is this person?” Everyone sighed, pondering Ye Chu’s strength in their hearts, but the conclusion they reached left them in disbelief.
Seeing these people discussing, Ye Chu smiled and shook his head, not bothering to say much to them.
Just as Ye Chu turned to leave, he saw a familiar face. This made him pause for a moment, and then he laughed in astonishment.
The middle aged man was originally listless, feeling miserable for having missed his opportunity. But just as he raised his drooping head, he saw a familiar figure. Seeing this figure, he rubbed his eyes vigorously and immediately showed an expression of immense joy.
Without saying a single word, he suddenly dropped to his knees on the ground and shouted out a sentence that caught Ye Chu completely off guard, “Master, please accept me as your disciple!”
