Supreme Lord of Towers

”Presumptuous.” In the high skies, Ninth Elder’s eyes spewed forth flames of anger as he harshly reprimanded Lu Ping.

A mere ant in the Celestial Spirit Realm dared to disrespect Lord Ye Chen with his words, truly tired of living.

If it weren’t for Tuoba Xiong guarding Lu Ping by his side, he would have slapped Lu Ping flying long ago.

”Ha! Ninth Elder, you certainly are imposing! What, you still want to strike my disciple? Is it really worth it for this waste who can’t even awaken his bloodline?” Tuoba Xiong couldn’t help but sneer, the corner of his mouth full of mockery, looking at Ninth Elder as if watching a clown.

With his strength, if it truly came to blows, he could definitely defeat Jin Kun with ease.

Therefore, he never put Jin Kun in his eyes.

”Third Elder, Ye Chen is the only peerless talent in the history of Overlord Body Peak to have tested for a Super Grade First Class Body Refining Talent. Regardless of what mistakes he made, it’s not your place to act against him! I will have the Peak Master cancel the bounty on him. If you dare make any more moves on him, you’re just seeking your own humiliation.” Jin Kun sneered.

Before, he certainly wouldn’t dare provoke Tuoba Xiong casually, after all, behind him was the Tuoba Family, a branch of the Quasi-God Clan Tuoba Clan.

But with Profound Spirit supporting him, he naturally no longer feared Tuoba Xiong.

”Ha! This waste possesses a Super Grade First Class Body Refining Talent, how utterly ridiculous. Jin Kun, you actually take me for a fool!” Tuoba Xiong swept a disdainful glance at Ye Chen, his expression utterly contemptuous, as if a supreme Divine Spirit looking at a worm he could crush at will.

”This is the result from the Testing Stone Pillar, absolutely impossible to fake.” Jin Kun sneered.

”Is that so? Who’s to say you didn’t help this waste cheat?” Tuoba Xiong spoke with a tone full of mockery.

”I cheat? Tuoba Xiong, what do you take me for?” Jin Kun’s eyes suddenly erupted with raging fury, roaring at Tuoba Xiong.

His iron-faced integrity was famous in Overlord Body Peak.

Yet now, Tuoba Xiong accused him of aiding Ye Chen in cheating.

To him, this was an enormous humiliation.

”Ninth Elder, you need not be angered. Since they so distrust me, I can be tested again, and this time, you can even bring the Peak Master and others to see if I’ve cheated.” Just then, Ye Chen suddenly spoke, a trace of ridicule flashing at the corner of his mouth.

”Shut up, you ignorant ant, daring to kill the man I, Tuoba Xiong, sent to take over the War King Hall. Who gave you such audacity? Today, no one can save your miserable life.” A terrifying chill burst forth from Tuoba Xiong’s eyes, his gaze cold to the extreme, as if at any moment he would crush Ye Chen.

He, a dignified Third Elder of Overlord Body Peak, commanded great respect; even Immortal experts of the Divine Mansion Realm trembled before him.

Yet Ye Chen, this ant of the Celestial Spirit Realm, dared to kill the man he sent to take over the War King Hall.

To him, this was a grave humiliation.

If he didn’t eliminate Ye Chen, where would his authority stand?

”Ant, kneel down and kowtow to Elder Tuoba to apologize. Do you really think Jin Kun’s protection makes you invincible? So foolish. No one Elder Tuoba wants dead has ever escaped.” Xiahou Dian, standing beside Tuoba Xiong, spoke with a tone full of mocking, commanding Ye Chen.

Today, he intended to use Tuoba Peak and Lu Ping to eliminate this waste Ye Chen.

So naturally, he added fuel to the fire from the sidelines.

”And who are you?” Ye Chen slightly frowned and spoke coldly to Xiahou Dian.

”I am Xiahou Dian, ancestor of the Xiahou Family. You audacious ant dare kill my Xiahou Family’s genius—who gave you such courage? Even dying a thousand times wouldn’t redeem you.” Xiahou Dian replied with a fierce expression.

”So it’s you, the old dog who sent people to exterminate the Ouyang Family. I promised Teacher Ouyang to avenge her family, so you better prepare to die cleanly.” Ye Chen’s body suddenly trembled, his fists tightly clenched, emitting a sharp cracking sound.

The last time, had he not rushed back to the Celestial Flame Academy in time, not only would the Ouyang Family have been wiped out, Ouyang Xue would certainly have died tragically at the hands of Xiahou Family experts.

The root cause of all this was Xiahou Dian before him.

Therefore, Ye Chen would never let this old dog go.

Once he had enough strength, he would make Xiahou Dian pay in blood.

”Ha ha! Just you, this waste, intend to avenge the Ouyang Family? Where does your confidence come from? If not for Jin Kun’s presence, I could crush you countless times with just one finger.” Xiahou Dian couldn’t help but laugh, full of ridicule, as if hearing the world’s funniest joke.

A mere ant in the Celestial Spirit Realm, without even an awakened bloodline, dared to claim vengeance for the Ouyang Family, truly overestimating himself.

Let alone him, even the Xiahou Family’s genius Xiahou Ting could crush Ye Chen in an instant.

”Old dog, we’ll see. I want to see if you can still laugh then.” A cold smile played at Ye Chen’s lips, his eyes shot with terrifying killing intent.

”By the way, ant, I forgot to tell you. My men have already found your foster father and mother, as well as Ouyang Xue, that remnant. It seems they all reside at the Xuan Dragon Inn, am I right?” Just then, a thick trace of mockery flashed at the corner of Xiahou Dian’s mouth, as he deliberately transmitted this to Ye Chen.

”Courting death.” Ye Chen’s pupils suddenly contracted, his body as if struck by lightning, his face turned ghastly, even his eyes turned blood red.

He had thought that arranging Ye Ming and Ouyang Xue to stay at the Xuan Dragon Inn would avoid trouble.

Yet he never imagined they’d still be discovered by Xiahou Dian’s men.

To him, it was like a bolt from the blue.

”Ha! Those ants are probably already caught by my men, but I can’t guarantee my men won’t accidentally kill them! So, you filthy dog, you better start praying. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for your shortsightedness, daring even to cross the Xiahou Family.” As Xiahou Dian saw Ye Chen’s enraged expression, the mockery at the corner of his mouth grew even more pronounced, continuing to send a message to Ye Chen.

That was exactly the effect he wanted.

Indeed!

Ye Chen might have the protection of Jin Kun the Immortal.

But his family and friends were nothing more than a bunch of lowly ants.

Even if he sent people to crush them to death, Jin Kun wouldn’t dare to do anything to him.

After all, he was at least a senior steward of Azure Sky Peak, second only to the Elders.

Therefore, even Jin Kun had no right to touch him.

”Ye Chen, what’s wrong? Is something troubling you?” At this moment, Jin Kun also sensed something amiss and promptly asked Ye Chen.

Just now, Xiahou Dian had communicated with Ye Chen mentally.

As a result, Jin Kun wasn’t aware of their conversation.

”Jin Kun, get out of my way. No one can save this ant today.” Just as Ye Chen was about to respond to Jin Kun, a terrifying force suddenly erupted from Tuoba Xiong’s body, crashing towards Jin Kun like a raging tempest.

”Tuoba Xiong, how dare you!” Jin Kun’s face twisted in fury, evidently not expecting that Tuoba Peak would truly dare to make a move.

Whoosh.

The next moment, a golden divine bell emerged from within Jin Kun, enclosing both him and Ye Chen as if it were an Ancient Divine Mountain.

A deafening boom resounded.

The power unleashed by Tuoba Xiong clashed with the golden divine bell, emitting a thunderous roar.

Even the surrounding void began to fracture, creating a terrifying scene.

This was the power of the Profound Pill Immortal, capable of shattering the void.

”The Golden Emperor Bell, it’s actually the Treasure Golden Emperor Bell. How do you possess such a treasure?” The expression on Tuoba Xiong’s face froze instantly, his eyes widening in disbelief.

The Golden Emperor Bell was an incredibly precious upper-grade treasure, invaluable and possessing immense defense.

Even Tuoba Xiong didn’t have such a level of treasure on him.

Even if he were to bring out all his assets, he couldn’t afford an upper-grade treasure.

Yet this Ninth Elder Jin Kun possessed such an upper-grade treasure.

How could he believe it?

”Fortunately, Lord Profound Spirit lent me this Golden Emperor Bell before leaving, otherwise today would have been troublesome,” Jin Kun thought to himself with relief.

His strength was far inferior to Tuoba Xiong, the Third Elder.

However, with the Golden Emperor Bell, an upper-grade treasure, even if he wasn’t Tuoba Xiong’s match, he could remain undefeated.

Thus, Tuoba Xiong couldn’t do anything to him and Ye Chen today.

”How can this be? How could Jin Kun have an upper-grade treasure?” On the side, Xiahou Dian was also stunned, as if he had been struck by the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, unable to believe his eyes.

He initially thought that with Tuoba Xiong present today, they could definitely eliminate Ye Chen, that ant.

But to his shock, Jin Kun had hidden the upper-grade treasure, the Golden Emperor Bell, all along.

Could it be that this ant truly wasn’t meant to die?

”Ye Chen, if you don’t want to see your foster parents and that wench Ouyang Xue die miserably, you better come out and face me in a duel to the death, or they won’t live past tomorrow.” At this moment, Lu Ping’s icy voice suddenly rang in Ye Chen’s ears, filled with a chilling killing intent that made one shiver.

He knew that with Elder Jin Kun present today, it would be challenging to kill Ye Chen, that waste.

Thus, he used this method to provoke Ye Chen.

”You want to die? Then I will fulfill your wish.” Ye Chen’s fists clenched tightly, producing a harsh crackling sound, his chest filled with a raging fury.

Anyone who dared to threaten him using his family and friends must die.
