Supreme Lord of Towers

”Grand Elder, Ye Chen is preparing to break into the Trial Hall. If he actually succeeds, what will we do then?” At this moment, besides Ye Chen and Ouyang Xue, a large group of elders from the War King Hall were gathered around the Trial Hall.

One of the elders spoke to Ouyang Yi with extreme anxiety.

As for the Celestial Flame Peak Master and Duanmu Ying, they did not follow to this place.

Because, according to the rules of the War King Hall, people from other factions are not allowed to get close to this place, including the Celestial Flame Peak Master.

”Since ancient times, the Hall Master of the War King Hall has always been a strong member of our Ouyang family. When did it become Ye Chen’s, an outsider’s turn?”

”Yeah, if he harbors malicious intents and covets the wealth of our Ouyang family, the consequences will be unthinkable. We must find a way to stop him.” Other elders also echoed in agreement.

”Ye Chen, stop right there. Do you really think that you, a worthless person, are qualified to break into the Trial Hall?” Ouyang Yi yelled sternly at Ye Chen, who was about to enter the Trial Hall, with a grim face.

Rumble.

At the same time, an extreme surge of Celestial Spirits suddenly burst from Ouyang Yi’s body, enveloping the area within tens of feet.

Even Ye Chen could feel an immense threat from this surge of Celestial Spirits.

If Ouyang Yi truly decided to act against him, he had no confidence at all to withstand him.

However, Ye Chen’s face showed not a trace of fear. Instead, he said coldly to Ouyang Yi, ”I have already become the Chief Disciple of the War King Hall. If even I am unqualified to enter the Trial Hall, then who is?”

”Humph! Yes, you have become the Chief Disciple of the War King Hall, but you are not from the Ouyang family. You have no right to take part in the hall master test. If you are smart, get out at once. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless. Your little skill, killing you is like killing a dog.” Ouyang Yi sneered, looking at Ye Chen as if he were looking at an ant that could be crushed at will.

”Ouyang Yi, don’t make things up. Our War King Hall never had such a rule.” Ouyang Xue couldn’t help but shout angrily, her delicate body shaking with rage.

Because the War King Hall had no such rule, her father, Ouyang Zhong, allowed Ye Chen to take part in the hall master test, hoping he could become the new hall master of the War King Hall.

But Ouyang Yi, on the other hand, was stirring up trouble here.

This kind of vile action was truly appalling.

”Ouyang Yi, whether I am qualified or not, is not for you to decide. Once I become the Hall Master of the War King Hall, I will deal with you appropriately.” A hint of a cold smile flashed at the corner of Ye Chen’s mouth, not taking Ouyang Yi’s words seriously at all.

Whoosh.

The next moment, his figure flickered, leaving a shadow where he stood, and swiftly dashed toward the Purple Gold Palace ahead.

”Courting death.” A roar of rage came from Ouyang Yi’s mouth, his face turning so dark it seemed to drip water.

Even he did not expect that this worthless Ye Chen would have such nerve, ignoring his threat entirely.

To him, this was simply an immense humiliation.

If he didn’t teach Ye Chen a lesson, he would never understand the meaning of reverence.

Boom.

In the next instant, the Celestial Spirits around Ouyang Yi’s body suddenly condensed into a black giant hand tens of feet long, sweeping towards Ye Chen with overwhelming force.

The power contained in this giant hand was truly terrifying, definitely exceeding the Power of a Thousand Tigers.

Even Ye Chen, at this moment, felt an immense threat.

However, Ye Chen did not stop his steps.

All he could do now was rush into the Trial Hall.

As long as he entered the Trial Hall, not even Ouyang Yi could do anything to him.

After all, the Trial Hall was not a place anyone could enter at will.

Even though Ouyang Yi was the Grand Elder of the War King Hall, he had no such right.

If he dared to break in recklessly, he would surely face the severe punishment of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect.

”Worthless person, how dare you force your way into the Trial Hall in front of me? Who gave you the courage to do so? Kneel for me now.” Ouyang Yi’s facial features twisted together, his expression extremely hideous, and he said coldly to Ye Chen.

Although Ye Chen was a seed student of the War King Hall, even Ouyang Yi couldn’t kill him at will.

However, as the Grand Elder of the War King Hall, he still had the authority to discipline Ye Chen.

Of course, this required a justifiable reason.

And since Ye Chen dared to show such disrespect to him, the Grand Elder, even if he taught Ye Chen a lesson, it would be reasonable and justified.

So, of course, he wouldn’t miss this opportunity.

As long as he could injure Ye Chen, the latter wouldn’t be able to challenge the Trial Tower for a short period of time.

By then, he’d have more time to find a way to snatch away Ye Chen’s position as Chief Disciple.

”Hmph! This ignorant fool dares to disrespect the Grand Elder. Even if the Grand Elder injures him, he deserves it.”

”Our Celestial Flame Academy has always emphasized respecting our elders. If he disrespects the Grand Elder, he should be punished, or else where is our authority as high-ranking members?” Many of the elders from the War King Hall sneered, looking gleeful.

”No, stop it.” Ouyang Xue’s delicate body suddenly shivered, her expression extremely anxious.

”This old bastard is really ruthless, but thinking he can hit me is just daydreaming.” A terrifying cold light shot out from Ye Chen’s eyes.

He had clearly become the Chief Disciple of the War King Hall and was qualified to take the Hall Master’s test.

Yet Ouyang Yi, this old guy, used such despicable methods to stop him.

This filled Ye Chen’s chest with rage.

However, he absolutely wouldn’t let Ouyang Yi have his way.

Whoosh.

The next moment, Ye Chen was about to perform the Transformation Realm Profound Serpent Body Technique to dodge Ouyang Yi’s attack.

His Profound Serpent Body Technique was known for its agility. Once cultivated to the Transformation Realm, its speed would undergo a heaven-shaking change.

So, he was still confident in dodging Ouyang Yi’s strike.

”Enough, Ouyang Yi, you’ve gone too far.” At this moment, an old voice suddenly rang in everyone’s ears, filled with anger.

Boom.

Immediately, a golden fist shot toward the black hand like lightning, colliding with it instantly.

This golden fist, although less than a yard long, exploded with world-destroying power, easily dispersing the black hand.

”It’s Elder Lu!” Ouyang Yi’s pupils suddenly shrank, his face turning uglier than death.

”Wasn’t Elder Lu always guarding the Cultivation Hall? Why is he here?”

”It’s over, with Elder Lu here, we can’t possibly stop that waste Ye Chen.” The surrounding elders were shocked to the extreme, each looking ashen.

”Ouyang Yi, as the Grand Elder, you truly disappoint me. What did Ye Chen do wrong for you to treat him so viciously?” An elderly man with white hair suddenly appeared before everyone, staring coldly at Ouyang Yi with extreme disappointment.

This old man was none other than the elder from the Cultivation Hall, Ouyang Lu.

In terms of seniority within the Ouyang Family, he was the highest, and even Ouyang Zhong had to show him immense respect.

As for his strength, it was not much weaker than Ouyang Zhong’s, having long reached the Peak of the Celestial Spirit Realm.

Even Ouyang Yi was not worth mentioning in front of him.

In fact, ever since Ye Chen was recruited into the War King Hall by Ouyang Zhong, he had been paying close attention to Ye Chen.

When he learned that Ye Chen’s Body Refining Talent had broken the War King Hall’s record, he was extremely delighted.

Because in Ye Chen, he saw a glimmer of hope for the revival of the War King Hall.

But Ouyang Yi, on the other hand, forcibly intervened as Ye Chen was about to challenge the Trial Hall, even fabricating a lie that outsiders couldn’t participate in the Hall Master’s test.

This left Ouyang Lu feeling both furious and disheartened.

If Ouyang Yi weren’t the Grand Elder of the War King Hall, he would definitely have taught Ouyang Yi a harsh lesson.

”Elder Lu, you’ve misunderstood me. Ye Chen, this little beast, is clearly malevolent; otherwise, he wouldn’t falsely accuse Ye Lin of stealing the bloodline from his body! So, I was worried he’d covet our Ouyang Family’s wealth if he became the new Hall Master of the War King Hall. That’s why I took such measures. I’m only thinking about the future of our Ouyang Family!” Ouyang Yi said with a self-righteous face.

”Enough, stop talking. I know Ye Chen’s character very well. From now on, I absolutely won’t allow anyone to stop him from challenging the Trial Tower.” Ouyang Lu said coldly, his tone filled with endless authority.

”But...” Ouyang Yi’s face turned extremely ugly, as if he had swallowed a pile of dead flies.

He really didn’t want Ye Chen to become the new Hall Master of the War King Hall; otherwise, his position as the Grand Elder would be at risk.

”Shut up. Ye Chen, go ahead. With me here, no one will dare to stop you.” Ouyang Lu let out an angry roar, terrifying power emanating from his entire body, making the elders present shiver with fear.

Even Ouyang Yi had to obediently close his mouth, not daring to further provoke Ouyang Lu.
