Supreme Lord of Towers

Ang!

At this moment, on the summit of Celestial Flame Peak’s main mountain, the high-pitched cries of eagles echoed, the sound piercing through the skies.

This emanated from the mouths of a group of enormous spiritual eagles.

These spiritual eagles were entirely covered in black feathers, as if forged from black iron, and in the sunlight, they emitted a faint metallic sheen.

”Haha, our Celestial Flame Peak’s Black Iron Eagles, which we’ve nurtured for years, can finally be put to use.”

”Indeed! The flight speed of the Black Iron Eagles is extremely fast, even surpassing many strong ones of the Celestial Spirit Realm. With them carrying us, we can reach that Immortal Secret Realm within a day,” the students of Celestial Flame Academy spoke excitedly.

The Black Iron Eagle is an extremely powerful demon beast, and once matured, its strength can at least match a Qi Dao Master of the Gang Qi Realm.

Some more powerful Black Iron Eagles can even grow into Tier Three demon beasts, possessing strength comparable to that of Celestial Spirit Realm powerhouses.

Their flight speed is extremely rapid, and if they were to attack a human city, the casualties would be unfathomable.

Within the Celestial Flame Dynasty, there was once a human city attacked by a Black Iron Eagle, resulting in tens of thousands of casualties.

Even strong ones of the Celestial Spirit Realm had no means to deal with that Black Iron Eagle, as they simply couldn’t catch up with it.

However, the five Black Iron Eagles before us have been reared by the powerhouses of Celestial Flame Peak since birth.

Therefore, they have been thoroughly tamed and will not casually attack human cities.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.

At this moment, the Envoy led Ye Chen and his group to land at the summit of Celestial Flame Peak.

When Ye Chen saw these five Black Iron Eagles, he was slightly taken aback.

Having been at Celestial Flame Academy for so long, he had no idea that Celestial Flame Peak was raising so many demon beasts.

”Chu Lin, everyone is here, we can set off now,” the Envoy said to the Celestial Flame Peak Master.

In fact, the Celestial Flame Peak Master had been waiting here for some time, just waiting for the others to assemble before heading to the Immortal Secret Realm.

This time, Celestial Flame Peak received a total of fifteen spots to explore the Immortal Secret Realm.

Meanwhile, students from Profound Sword Peak and Soul Palace received twelve spots each.

As for the last spot, it was allocated to War King Hall.

”Envoy, please,” said the Celestial Flame Peak Master respectfully, standing in front of a Black Iron Eagle that was a full fifteen feet long.

This Black Iron Eagle was the only Tier Three demon beast among the five, with a massive body resembling a palace.

It could easily carry twenty people without any strain.

”Ye Lin’Er, you should ride this Black Iron Eagle with me, so I can better protect you,” the Envoy said with a slight smile.

Since learning Ye Lin’Er had awakened the Phoenix Race bloodline, he had been exceptionally protective of her.

After all, Ye Lin’Er’s future was limitless, and if the Envoy could associate with her, the benefits would be unimaginable.

”Thank you, Envoy.” Ye Lin’Er lifted her pale chin slightly, her eyes filled with disdain as she glanced at Ye Chen, before leaping onto the broad back of the Black Iron Eagle.

”Ye Chen, you’re the only one from War King Hall entering the Immortal Secret Realm, so pick any Black Iron Eagle you like,” the Envoy said coldly to Ye Chen, with a smirk of mockery at the corner of his mouth.

From the beginning, he hadn’t taken Ye Chen seriously.

Even though Ye Chen’s body refining talent was decent, he couldn’t awaken a bloodline.

Such a person, even if he became a disciple of the Overlord Body Sect, would not go far.

Most importantly, Ye Chen was foolish enough to offend Ye Lin’Er, a peerless prodigy who had awakened the Phoenix Race bloodline.

His fate was destined to be tragic.

Therefore, the Envoy not only treated Ye Chen with indifference but also deliberately excluded him.

Only in this way could he completely dissociate from Ye Chen.

Swoosh.

Ye Chen ignored the Envoy and instead flashed towards one of the Black Iron Eagles, swiftly landing on its back.

This Black Iron Eagle, though not as large as the other, was still nine feet long.

It could easily accommodate him alone, or even several dozen people, with no pressure.

But apart from Ye Chen, none of the other factions’ students chose to ride this Black Iron Eagle.

Because they had long excluded Ye Chen.

Only a fool would try to associate with this waste.

”Let’s go.” With a command from the Celestial Flame Peak Master, the fifteen-zhang long Black Iron Eagle soared into the sky carrying the envoy and Ye Lin’Er, speeding towards the distance.

The other four Black Iron Eagles also followed closely behind, whistling into the sky.

”Where did that slut Duanmu Ying go? When I return from the Immortal Secret Realm, I definitely won’t let her off.” Ye Chen said coldly, gazing at the ground below.

He initially thought that with the opening of the Immortal Secret Realm, Duanmu Ying would personally lead the students of Profound Sword Peak there.

But unexpectedly, she wasn’t at Celestial Flame Academy.

Additionally, aside from her, Soul Palace Master Chen Fei also didn’t personally go to the Immortal Secret Realm this time, merely sending a Soul Palace Elder to lead the team.

It seems they also know that even if they personally go to the Immortal Secret Realm, it would be to no avail.

Because they simply cannot enter the Immortal Secret Realm.

Only young cultivators under twenty can enter the realm to explore.

So, they simply chose not to go.

”Brother Xiahou, is your Xiahou Family really going to make a move against the Ouyang Family?” As Ye Chen and the others set out for the Immortal Secret Realm, Duanmu Ying was conversing with a black-robed elder at the Duanmu Family residence in Celestial Flame City.

This elder was none other than Xiahou Shi.

Originally, Ouyang Zhong was ambushed by Duanmu Ying and Xiahou Shi, which forced him to consume the Nine Revolutions Profound Pill, leading him to a demise of Dao dissolution.

You could say Xiahou Shi was the true culprit behind Ouyang Zhong’s death.

”Indeed, we have already decided to flatten the entire Ouyang Family, not sparing anyone; they all must die.” Xiahou Shi said with a fiercely sinister expression, his mouth lined with a cruel tint, like a merciless killing machine, causing shivers.

”But the War King Hall has not been completely removed from our Celestial Flame Academy, and the Ouyang Family is still under the protection of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect. If you flatten the Ouyang Family, the consequences will be dire!” Duanmu Ying said with confusion.

The War King Hall was established by the Ouyang Family’s ancestor five hundred years ago, with the purpose of cultivating Immortal Seeds for the Azure Sky Immortal Sect.

Thus, the Ouyang Family has always been under the protection of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect, preventing anyone from easily exterminating them.

Not even the Xiahou Family, a super family of the First Class Dynasty, could do so.

Otherwise, they would certainly face punishment from the Azure Sky Immortal Sect.

Yet now, Xiahou Shi boasts about flattening the Ouyang Family, not sparing even the elderly, women, and children.

Do they not fear the reprisal from the Azure Sky Immortal Sect?

”Ha! If it was before, we wouldn’t dare, but now it’s different; the Azure Sky Immortal Sect’s higher-ups have decided to let another family manage the War King Hall, so the Ouyang Family is no longer under the protection of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect! Once the transition is complete, it will be the Ouyang Family’s doom.” Xiahou Shi jeered, mouth lined with a mocking tint.

”What? Another family will manage the War King Hall? Then won’t we lose access to its cultivation resources?” Duanmu Ying’s face immediately turned extremely grim.

Over the years, she had been scheming to seize the War King Hall’s cultivation resources.

This is why she chose to team up with Xiahou Shi to eliminate Ouyang Zhong.

But now, the Azure Sky Immortal Sect plans to assign another family to manage the War King Hall.

Doesn’t this mean all her efforts were for naught?

How can she be content?

”Rest assured, Duanmu Ying, our Xiahou Family will fulfill its promises to you. In fact, the family soon to manage the War King Hall has a close relationship with us. At that time, they will naturally allocate a portion of the War King Hall’s cultivation resources to your Profound Sword Peak!” Xiahou Shi said calmly.

”That’s good.” Duanmu Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief.

”The Ouyang Family’s extinction is only a matter of time, so there’s no need to hold back. If you want to eliminate certain members of the Ouyang Family, you can start now. From now on, no one will be able to protect them.” Xiahou Shi said with a ruthless expression.

”The one I want to eliminate the most is Ye Chen, that little brat, but unfortunately, he has already received an invitation for enrollment from the Overlord Body Peak, and even I can’t openly kill him.” Duanmu Ying’s eyes shot out a terrifying cold light as she said through gritted teeth.

”Oh! You mean that waste who can’t even awaken his bloodline? I’ve heard about him too. Rest assured, our Xiahou Family’s young elite will crush that waste in the Immortal Secret Realm, and anyone closely affiliated with the Ouyang Family will die as well.” Xiahou Shi said with extreme disdain.

To him, Ye Chen was just an ant to be crushed at will.

”Hmph! Killing this waste so easily would be too merciful; it wouldn’t satisfy my deep-seated hatred. I want his family and friends to join him in the grave.” Duanmu Ying’s features twisted in a sinister fashion, her tone icily unfeeling, causing shivers.

She’d been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Ye Chen, that little brat, murdered her most beloved nephew, and she intends for him to repay it a hundredfold.

This is the price for defying Duanmu Ying.

”Do as you like; that waste is as good as dead, unable to survive the Immortal Secret Realm. You can do whatever you want.” Xiahou Shi said indifferently.
