Supreme Lord of Towers

The Celestial Cry Mountain Range is located on the western side of Cang Province, extremely far from the Azure Sky Immortal Sect.

Even a cultivator in the Divine Mansion Realm would need months of flight to reach it.

However, in the Task Hall, there are several large teleportation arrays built that can directly transfer disciples of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect to the vicinity of the Celestial Cry Mountain Range.

”Look, it’s Ye Chen, and he’s actually with the first true disciple of Overlord Body Peak, Xu Yan.”

”It seems the upper echelons of Overlord Body Peak are also worried about him getting into trouble in the Celestial Cry Mountain Range, so they deliberately sent Xu Yan to protect him.” In the Task Hall, many disciples of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect could not help but start discussing.

”Hmph, this waste is really lucky. If he entered the Celestial Cry Mountain Range alone, he wouldn’t even know how he died.”

”That’s right! In the past few months, several of our Azure Sky Immortal Sect’s true disciples have fallen in the Celestial Cry Mountain Range, including some formidable late Divine Mansion Realm cultivators. If Ye Chen didn’t have someone to protect him, I guarantee he wouldn’t survive even a day.” The female disciples of Piaomiao Peak laughed mockingly, their mouths filled with disdain.

Indeed!

Ye Chen did defeat their Piaomiao Peak’s top outer sect genius, Qin Qiushui, in the Seven Peaks Competition.

But in the Celestial Cry Mountain Range, the Outer Realm Demon Race is filled with beings many times stronger than Qin Qiushui.

With Ye Chen’s wasteful ability, he couldn’t withstand even one move from them.

If no one protects him, he will probably face a miserable death at the hands of the Outer Realm Demon Race as soon as he enters the Celestial Cry Mountain Range.

”Lin Xi, let’s go. Once this waste leaves the Azure Sky Immortal Sect, his fate is no longer in his hands. Not even Xu Yan’s protection will help.” Lu Xuan said coldly, looking at Ye Chen as if looking at a dead man.

”Hmph! He will soon understand what despair means. Without the protection of the upper echelon of Overlord Body Peak, this waste is nothing.” Lin Xi’s tone was full of mockery.

Although Xu Yan’s strength is significant, rare are his opponents in the Divine Mansion Realm.

Yet, beyond the sky, there is always a higher sky, and beyond people, there are always more powerful people.

Among those heading to the Celestial Cry Mountain Range this time, there are still many stronger than Xu Yan from the Human Race.

In addition, within the Outer Realm Demon Race, there exist beings even more terrifying than Xu Yan.

As long as someone can restrain Xu Yan, no one can protect Ye Chen, this waste.

Therefore, Ye Chen dreaming of returning alive from the Celestial Cry Mountain Range this time is like a fool’s talk.

”Junior Brother Ye Chen, let’s go.” Moments later, Ye Chen and Xu Yan, along with their group, entered a large teleportation array.

Hum!

Immediately, a dazzling radiance bloomed from the teleportation array, enveloping Ye Chen and his group, causing them to instantly vanish from where they stood.

”Xu Yan, I hope this time you can ensure the safety of Lord Ye Chen, otherwise, I wouldn’t know how to account to Lord Profound Spirit and the Peak Master.” Watching Ye Chen disappear, Jin Kun couldn’t help but silently pray in his heart.

Although he didn’t know Ye Chen’s true identity,

he was very well aware that Ye Chen’s background must be terrifyingly vast; otherwise, Lord Profound Spirit would not show him such respect.

Therefore, Ye Chen absolutely cannot have any mishap this time, as the consequences would be beyond anything he could bear.

...

Within the residence of Tuoba Xiong at the Azure Sky Immortal Sect.

”Elder Tuoba, I just received word that Ye Chen, this waste, has left seclusion and has already set off for the Celestial Cry Mountain Range to carry out the demon-slaying mission, which is our great opportunity to eliminate this waste.” Xiahou Dian said with incomparable excitement, a terrible killing intent flashing through his eyes.

He had been waiting for this moment for a very, very long time.

Though Ye Chen could not awaken his bloodline, his body refining talent and martial arts talent were undeniable.

If he were allowed to continue growing, he could pose a life-threatening danger to Xiahou Dian at any time.

Thus, Xiahou Dian had always wanted to eliminate Ye Chen.

Only, as long as Ye Chen stayed within the Azure Sky Immortal Sect, there was no opportunity to kill him.

After all, with Venerable Zi Chen protecting Ye Chen, no one could touch him.

But now, his opportunity had finally arrived.

Ye Chen had now left the territory of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect and was heading to the distant Celestial Cry Mountain Range to slay the Outer Realm Demon Race.

As long as Xiahou Dian seizes this opportunity, he would certainly make Ye Chen, this waste, vanish from the world forever.

”Steward Xiahou, I understand. I have already sent a message to Tuoba You. If the chance arises, Tuoba You will definitely crush this waste to death personally. With his power, killing this waste is as simple as crushing an ant.” Tuoba Xiong said coldly, his expression full of disdain, as if everything was under his control.

”Ha! Just a mere early Divine Mansion Realm ant, there’s no need for the Saint Son Tuoba to act personally. Even our Xiahou Ting could effortlessly crush him to death.” Xiahou Dian couldn’t help but sneer, the corners of his mouth brimming with derision.

Xiahou Ting, though just an inner sect disciple of Azure Sky Peak, had cultivation at the fourth layer of the Divine Mansion Realm, far stronger than Qin Qiushui.

Therefore, she could easily kill Ye Chen, this waste, without difficulty.

”This waste indeed does not deserve for You’er to act personally. However, there’s a strong person by his side who is an essential capture target for our Tuoba Clan. If You’er goes personally, he can certainly suppress her easily.” Tuoba Xiong’s tone was indifferent, a terrifying cold light flashing in his eyes.

He had already learned that Shangguan Zitong’s maid, Zhuer, was also accompanying Ye Chen to the Celestial Cry Mountain Range this time.

Thus, this was a golden opportunity to capture Zhuer alive.

If they managed to capture Zhuer, they could draw out Shangguan Zitong.

As for Ye Chen, this waste, he wasn’t really concerned.

Because this waste’s power was just too weak and killing him would be an effortless task; they just needed to find a way to separate him from the group.

”Hmph! Ye Chen ah Ye Chen, this time, your doomsday has arrived. Once you enter the Celestial Cry Mountain Range, no one can save you, this waste! Rest assured, after you die, I will definitely send that bitch Ouyang Xue and your adoptive parents down to accompany you.” Xiahou Dian couldn’t help but grin ferociously, his voice icily cruel, enough to send chills down one’s spine.

In his opinion, once Ye Chen died, his adoptive parents would hold no value to Overlord Body Peak.

At that time, Overlord Body Peak would surely cast them out.

Then, without the protection of Overlord Body Peak, crushing these few ants would be nothing more than child’s play.
