Supreme Lord of Towers

”Collect.” With a thought, Ye Chen stored the white jade box into the Human Emperor’s Space.

For now, he didn’t want others to know that he had obtained the body refining technique ”Glazed Martial Body,” or else Duanmu Ying would surely do everything in her power to eradicate him.

After all, once the ”Glazed Martial Body” is cultivated to the First Realm, it grants the power of ten thousand tigers, enough to pose a threat to Duanmu Ying.

Whoosh.

In the next moment, Ye Chen’s figure flickered, and he left the Trial Hall through another door.

”It’s Ye Chen. How did he come out so quickly?”

”Haha, looks like he didn’t pass the Hall Master’s trial.”

”I told you, a waste like him could never become the Hall Master of our War King Hall.” Outside the Trial Hall, the elders of the War King Hall couldn’t resist mocking as they saw Ye Chen emerge so quickly, their mouths full of strong disdain.

”Ha! You little beast, hand over the position of Chief Disciple obediently. You have been expelled from the War King Hall.” Ouyang Yi mocked Ye Chen with eyes full of derision, as if watching a jumping clown.

According to the rules of the War King Hall, a student who becomes the Chief Disciple has only one chance to participate in the Hall Master’s trial in a year. If they fail, they must wait until the next year.

During this period, the elders of the War King Hall have the right to strip this student of their Chief Disciple position.

And now the Elder Council has been completely controlled by Ouyang Yi, with most members standing by his side.

Therefore, he certainly had the right to strip Ye Chen of his position and expel him from the War King Hall.

”Did Ye Chen really fail?” Beside him, Ouyang Lu’s face turned incredibly ugly, his expression sinking to the extreme.

He originally thought that Ye Chen’s body refining talent was extremely high and that he should have a chance of passing the Hall Master’s trial.

But he didn’t expect Ye Chen to fail!

Could it be because Ye Chen is not a direct descendant of the Ouyang Family, so no matter how high his body refining talent is, he still doesn’t qualify to become the Hall Master?

”How could this happen? How could Ye Chen possibly fail? If he’s really expelled from the War King Hall, he won’t have another chance to participate in the Hall Master’s trial. Great Uncle, please help Ye Chen.” Ouyang Xue said anxiously.

”Sigh! I’m powerless too.” Ouyang Lu couldn’t help but sigh.

Even though he was the highest-ranking member of the Ouyang Family, he was just an elder in the Elder Council.

If most members decide to expel Ye Chen from the War King Hall, he can’t do anything about it.

”Ye Chen, you worthless thing, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and get lost. From now on, you’re not allowed to set foot into our War King Hall. Otherwise, bear the consequences.” Ouyang Yi’s mouth curled up in a sinister smile as he harshly scolded Ye Chen.

”Who said I didn’t pass the Hall Master’s trial, old fool? You’re the one who should get lost.” Just then, Ye Chen suddenly pulled out a Jade Seal from his body and said to Ouyang Yi coldly.

”It’s the Hall Master Seal, no, that’s impossible?” Ouyang Yi’s pupils contracted sharply, and the smile on his face instantly froze, as if he had swallowed a heap of dead flies.

”How could this happen? How could this waste pass the Hall Master’s trial?” The elders who previously mocked Ye Chen all turned ashen, unable to believe their eyes.

”Ouyang Yi, you have been expelled from the War King Hall. I order you to leave within half a cup of tea’s time, or else you’ll be treated as an enemy.” Ye Chen waved the Hall Master Seal in his hand and coldly smiled at Ouyang Yi, his tone extremely domineering.

Now that he had become the new Hall Master of the War King Hall, he had the authority to expel anyone.

Even great figures like Ouyang Yi.

If Ouyang Yi dared to linger in the War King Hall, Ye Chen had the right to mobilize the entire force of the War King Hall to exterminate him.

He refused to believe Ouyang Yi was bold enough to oppose the entire War King Hall.

”Hmph! Ye Chen, you think you can expel me, the Grand Elder of the War King Hall? Do you know the consequences of doing this?” Ouyang Yi’s face turned incredibly dark as he spoke to Ye Chen in a threatening tone.

”Didn’t you hear me when I told you to get out?” Ye Chen remained unmoved and shouted angrily at Ouyang Yi.

”Damn it! Really damn it!” Ouyang Yi’s fist clenched tightly, emitting a grating sound, his eyes turning blood-red with humiliation.

All his life, whether in the Ouyang Family or the War King Hall, he has held a high position, and no one dared disrespect him.

But now, this ant who just stepped into the Gang Qi Realm dared to speak to him in such a manner.

To him, this was the ultimate insult.

If Ye Chen hadn’t become the Hall Master, he would have slapped him to death.

”Ye Chen, don’t go too far. Do you really think that just because you’ve become the new Hall Master of the War King Hall, you can do whatever you want? Without the backing of our Elder Council, you’re nothing!” An Ouyang Family elder said coldly.

”That’s right, most of the cultivation resources of the War King Hall are provided by our Ouyang Family. Without us, keeping the War King Hall running would be a problem. If you dare drive out the Grand Elder, you’ll surely regret it,” other members of the Elder Council also threatened Ye Chen.

In their view, although Ye Chen had become the new Hall Master of the War King Hall, he was nothing more than a figurehead without real power.

Without the Ouyang Family providing cultivation resources to the War King Hall, he wouldn’t last long as the Hall Master.

Therefore, they didn’t believe Ye Chen would really dare to expel Ouyang Yi.

”Ha! Ye Chen, you think a whelp like you can compete with me? You’re far too inexperienced. If I were truly expelled from the War King Hall, all my people would leave with me. Then, I’d like to see how the War King Hall operates.” Ouyang Yi sneered inwardly, amusement thick in his expression.

”Get out! Anyone siding with Ouyang Yi, get out now! The War King Hall does not need traitors like you.” At this moment, Ye Chen’s icy voice thundered in everyone’s ears, like a clap of thunder, making hearts tremble uncontrollably.

”What? You would even want to expel us.”

”Rebel, truly a rebellion.” The Elder Council members shook in shock, disbelief written all over their faces.

They hadn’t expected Ye Chen to be so resolute.

Could it be that he truly wasn’t afraid the War King Hall would cease functioning if the Elder Council left?

”Hmph! Don’t think I don’t know you’ve all been bought off by Duanmu Ying. People like you don’t deserve to be in the high ranks of the War King Hall.” Ye Chen said coldly.

Duanmu Ying and the Celestial Flame Peak Master were only able to infiltrate the War King Hall because of Ouyang Yi’s consent.

If not for Ye Chen’s formidable strength, even the position of Chief Disciple of the War King Hall would have fallen into the hands of students from the other three factions.

Thus, Ye Chen absolutely couldn’t allow these traitors to remain in the upper echelons of the War King Hall.

Otherwise, the cultivation resources of the War King Hall would eventually be divided among the other three factions.

”Hall Master, don’t worry, we will always support you.”

”Without Ouyang Yi, the War King Hall can still operate just fine. We don’t need such traitors.” At this time, several Elder Council members spoke up.

In fact, not all Elder Council members sided with Ouyang Yi.

Some supported Ouyang Zhong and had strongly opposed letting students from the other three factions join the War King Hall.

Unfortunately, their numbers were too few, about a third of the council, so opposition was futile.

Now that Ye Chen had become the new Hall Master, they naturally chose to support him.

As long as they remained, the War King Hall could continue to function.

”Damn you all, you bastards.” Ouyang Yi’s face twisted, appearing exceptionally vicious.

Even he hadn’t expected these Elder Council members to publicly support Ye Chen.

This meant he might truly lose his position as Grand Elder.

”Hmph! Ouyang Yi, you brought this upon yourself; don’t blame anyone else.”

”Get out of the War King Hall already. Don’t think without you, the War King Hall can’t function. We have plenty of people in the Ouyang Family wanting to become members of the Elder Council. Now, they finally have a chance.” Those Elder Council members sneered.

The Ouyang Family was, after all, one of the six major families of the Celestial Flame Dynasty, with formidable heritage.

Even without Ouyang Yi, many strong individuals could fill the gaps in the Elder Council.

Thus, with or without them, it was inconsequential.

”Damn it, how could this happen?”

”Without the Elder Council status, our position in the Celestial Flame Dynasty will plummet. It’s all because of this damn Ye Chen.” The elders expelled from the War King Hall looked incredibly grim, fury burning in their eyes.

The Elder Council members didn’t just have significant power; they were also protected by the Azure Sky Immortal Sect.

In the Celestial Flame Dynasty, their status was esteemed, and no one dared disrespect them.

But now, without their council status, they lost the sect’s protection, severely impacting their standing.

The culprit behind it all was clearly Ye Chen.

If they could, they would devour Ye Chen alive.

”Ye Chen, don’t celebrate too soon. You will regret this someday. Let’s go.” Ouyang Yi growled through gritted teeth at Ye Chen, then gloomily left with his men.

”Old Lu, with the Grand Elder position now vacant, how about you take it? The War King Hall really needs strong figures like you to deter mischief-makers.” Ye Chen’s gaze fell upon Ouyang Lu as he smiled slightly.
