Invincible Soul Emperor

Li Nian’er took a deep breath, quickly calming herself down. She turned around and checked Ye Qingchen’s room again, ensuring everything was correct, then briskly left.

Li Nian’er held the letter and quickly arrived at the sect’s martial arts arena.

At that moment, the arena was bustling with noise, surrounded by disciples watching the fierce matches.

In the center of the field, Qin Chuan was fiercely battling with a fellow apprentice.

Qin Chuan was tall, his face stern and resolute, wielding a longsword with Sword Qi raging, projecting an imposing aura.

Each of his moves was swift and precise, the sword light like a rainbow, directly targeting his opponent’s vital points.

The apprentice tried hard to cope, but clearly was unable to withstand Qin Chuan’s powerful pressure, retreating step by step.

Qin Chuan’s swordsmanship was sharp and his footwork steady; he was like an immovable iron tower, balanced in both offense and defense.

Every time he drew his sword, it drew cheers and admiration from the disciples watching.

At that moment, he was forcing his opponent to retreat repeatedly, unable to counterattack.

Li Nian’er watched the fierce match in the arena, feeling extremely anxious.

She knew that once Qin Chuan was engaged in battle, it would be difficult for him to be distracted, but she couldn’t wait any longer.

She took a deep breath and shouted loudly, "Senior Brother Qin Chuan, stop now! It’s urgent!"

Qin Chuan heard Li Nian’er’s voice, was slightly stunned, but soon flashed a nonchalant smile.

He laughed heartily, his voice loud and boisterous, "Junior Sister Li, what could possibly be more urgent than the current match?"

He continued to attack with his sword, his face showing a confident smile, clearly interested in the battle at hand.

For him, sparring with fellow apprentices was a perfect opportunity to improve his strength and hone his skills, he was reluctant to interrupt this intense battle for other matters.

Li Nian’er saw Qin Chuan’s indifference, her anxiety growing.

It was crucial to make Qin Chuan understand the severity of the situation, or the delay might put Ye Qingchen in greater danger.

She shouted again, "Senior Brother Qin Chuan, Junior Brother Ye Qingchen has gone missing in the Xue Family Secret Realm!"

The announcement was like a thunderbolt, exploding in the martial arts arena.

The other disciples in the arena were shocked as they heard Qin Chuan declare Ye Qingchen missing in the Xue Family Secret Realm.

The arena that was lively just a moment ago instantly fell into silence, as if the air had frozen.

Some disciples widened their eyes, unable to believe what they had heard.

They exchanged glances, their eyes filled with confusion and astonishment. They started whispering among themselves, their voices filled with disbelief and concern.

"How is this possible? Senior Brother Ye is a genius in our sect, how could he go missing in the Xue Family Secret Realm?"

"Yes, Senior Brother Ye has extraordinary strength, how could he encounter danger in the Secret Realm?"

"This news is too sudden, Senior Brother Ye is usually so prudent, how could something happen to him?"

Some disciples looked nervously at Qin Chuan and Li Nian’er, trying to find answers from their expressions.

But seeing Li Nian’er’s serious and anxious expression, they knew that the matter wasn’t mere rumor, and their concern deepened.

Some disciples furrowed their brows, clearly worried for Ye Qingchen: "Senior Brother Ye has always taken care of us, now that he’s in danger, we have to do everything to rescue him!"

"Yes, we can’t let Senior Brother Ye face the peril alone, he’s the pride of our sect, we must help him!"

Meanwhile, some disciples showed complex expressions, filled with fear of the unknown dangers: "How dangerous really is the Xue Family Secret Realm? Even a strong individual like Senior Brother Ye might encounter mishap..."

"What can we do? The Xue Family Secret Realm is unfathomable, I’m afraid our strength might not be enough to face it."

The disciples were clamoring, and the entire martial arts arena was engulfed in chaotic emotions.

Some were anxious and uneasy, some were angrily excited, while others were deeply worried and helpless.

Qin Chuan’s smile froze instantly, his sword suspended in the air.

His eyes suddenly turned serious, his whole being as if struck by lightning, looking incredulously at Li Nian’er.

"What?!" Qin Chuan’s voice carried shock, he quickly retracted his sword and stepped back, losing interest in the fight.

He looked at Li Nian’er’s anxious face, knowing she would never joke around.

Li Nian’er hurriedly approached, handing the Spiritual Power Messenger to Qin Chuan, urgently saying, "It’s critical, Junior Brother Ye is missing in the Xue Family Secret Realm and might have met with misfortune, we must inform Elder Yang immediately and organize a rescue!"

Qin Chuan took the messenger, quickly glanced at it, his face drastically changing.

Anger and anxiety flashed in his eyes, he tightly grasped the messenger, muttering a curse under his breath.

Then, he turned towards the surrounding disciples, his voice steady and forceful, "Everyone, today’s match ends here, Junior Brother Ye is in trouble, we must act immediately!"

The disciples in the arena fell into chaos, but seeing Qin Chuan’s expression, they knew the matter was extremely serious, hastily stopping the noise and quieting down.

Qin Chuan sheathed his longsword, quickly walking to Li Nian’er, resolutely saying, "Junior Sister Li, we must find Elder Yang immediately!"

Li Nian’er and Qin Chuan hastily made their way to Elder Yang’s residence.

They knocked anxiously, calling out Elder Yang’s name.

However, the entire courtyard was silent, no response.

The two circled to the back yard, attempting entrance from other points, but still couldn’t find any sign of Elder Yang.

They searched every corner of the Elder’s residence, knocking on every door, even asking every disciple they encountered, but they all said they hadn’t seen Elder Yang.

Their anxiety grew, Li Nian’er couldn’t help but clutch the messenger tight in her hand, her face full of worry.

"Where did Elder Yang go? I saw him in the yard just the other day?" Li Nian’er asked anxiously, her eyes flickering with unease.

Qin Chuan also furrowed his brow, his voice deep, "I don’t know, but we must find him quickly, Junior Brother Ye’s situation can’t be delayed any longer."

The two stood in the courtyard, momentarily unsure of what to do.

Just then a figure quickly approached from afar, it was Ye Qingchen’s second Senior Brother, Cheng Liang.

Seeing Li Nian’er and Qin Chuan so anxious, he couldn’t help but quicken his pace, quickly walking up to them.

"Junior Brother, Junior Sister, what’s wrong? What’s going on?" Cheng Liang asked with concern, his eyes full of doubt.

Seeing Cheng Liang was like seeing a ray of hope for Li Nian’er and Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan hurriedly said, "Second Senior Brother, have you seen Elder Yang?"

Cheng Liang chuckled, patting Qin Chuan’s shoulder with resignation, "You don’t know? Elder Yang is always coming and going without a trace, recently he’s gone wandering again, he’s always unpredictable, not sure when he’ll be back."

"What? He’s gone wandering again?" Li Nian’er’s heart sank.

Why does he have to drop the ball at a critical moment?

Doesn’t Elder Yang always show up at crucial times?

What should we do now?
