Supreme Lord of Towers

Jin Kun, at this moment, had flames of rage pouring out of his eyes, and even his pupils turned blood-red, making him look extremely terrifying.

Originally, the responsibility for protecting Dragon Elephant Peak had always been his.

After all, he knew well that there was a significant vendetta between Ye Chen, Tuoba Xiong, and Xiahou Dian.

If no one was there to protect them, Ye Chen along with his family and friends could face misfortunes at any time.

Therefore, in the months since Ye Chen moved to Dragon Elephant Peak, Jin Kun had voluntarily undertaken the heavy responsibility of protecting him.

No one who approached Dragon Elephant Peak could escape his surveillance.

However, two days ago, he happened to have an urgent matter to attend to.

Thus, he had no choice but to temporarily transfer the responsibility of protecting Dragon Elephant Peak to the Eighth Elder, Gongyang Tai.

After all, Gongyang Tai was a very good friend of his and had always earned his trust.

However, what he did not expect was that Gongyang Tai actually allowed the assassins sent by Xiahou Dian to infiltrate Dragon Elephant Peak, nearly getting Ye Chen’s adoptive father and mother killed.

How could he not be angry about this?

Anyone with a bit of sense would know that Gongyang Tai had already been bribed by others.

Otherwise, with his cultivation at the Profound Pill Realm, how could he not detect a few assassins of the Divine Mansion Realm?

”Junior Brother Jin Kun, why are you so furious?” At this moment, an elder walked out from the main hall, frowning as he spoke.

This elder was none other than Gongyang Tai.

He had long anticipated that letting Xiahou Dian’s men infiltrate Dragon Elephant Peak would undoubtedly cause dissatisfaction among the high-ranking officials of Overlord Body Peak.

Therefore, he had already prepared his defense.

”Gongyang Tai, why did you betray Overlord Body Peak? I still regarded you as a brother and trusted you immensely all these years. I was truly blind.” Jin Kun stared at Gongyang Tai with anger in his eyes, his voice full of bitter disappointment.

”Junior Brother Jin Kun, words can’t be spoken carelessly. When did I ever betray Overlord Body Peak?” Gongyang Tai’s expression darkened as he coldly replied to Jin Kun.

”Hmph! If you hadn’t betrayed Overlord Body Peak, how could you have let Xiahou Dian’s men infiltrate Dragon Elephant Peak? Stop making excuses. Today, it is the order of the Peak Master for us to apprehend you.” Jin Kun laughed coldly as a terrifying surge of mana surged from within him.

”What? The Peak Master sent you to capture me? I don’t accept this. I was merely in seclusion for cultivation, which is why I didn’t notice those assassins. Why is all this being blamed on me?” Gongyang Tai’s body shuddered violently, his face turning ashen as if he had seen a ghost.

He had originally thought that even if he let Xiahou Dian’s men infiltrate Dragon Elephant Peak, at most he would be expelled from Overlord Body Peak.

But he had not expected that Venerable Zi Chen would actually send people to capture him.

For a few insignificant ants like Ouyang Xue, was it necessary to make such a big fuss?

”Shut up, you traitor. Submit obediently. If you dare resist, you will be executed without mercy. This is the Peak Master’s order.” Jin Kun said coldly.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

In the next moment, several elders surrounded Gongyang Tai, their bodies emanating a terrifying power.

These elders held positions in Overlord Body Peak that were even higher than Jin Kun’s, and their cultivation was far superior to both Jin Kun and Gongyang Tai.

If Gongyang Tai dared to resist, he could indeed be killed on the spot by them.

”I am innocent. You are falsely accusing me, an elder of Overlord Body Peak, all for Ye Chen, a lowly ant. Aren’t you afraid of chilling the hearts of the people?” Gongyang Tai’s face drained of blood, his demeanor filled with anger and unwillingness.

He truly couldn’t understand why Venerable Zi Chen would deploy so many powerful elders to deal with him for the sake of Ye Chen, a worthless ant.

”How insolent! Lord Ye Chen is nothing you, a traitor, can compare with. Elders, let’s capture him together.” Jin Kun shouted fiercely, as a Divine Bell flew out of him and went to suppress Gongyang Tai heavily.

This Divine Bell turned out to be a Top Grade Magical Artifact.

Usually, only a Venerable Golden Core could have such a powerful treasure.

This time, to successfully capture Gongyang Tai, Jin Kun had even brought along such a high-level treasure.

He was determined to capture this traitor Gongyang Tai and give Ye Chen a satisfactory account.

”Stop, I will go with you.” Gongyang Tai’s pupils contracted suddenly, and he immediately yielded.

On his own, he was already no match for so many elders from Overlord Body Peak.

And now, Jin Kun even brought a Top Grade Magical Artifact.

If he resisted even slightly, he would undoubtedly be on a path to death.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh.

The next moment, a blood-red chain flew out from an elder’s body and firmly bound Gongyang Tai.

Gongyang Tai’s entire combat power was instantly sealed, leaving him with no ability to resist.

”Jin Kun, why? Why must the Peak Master be so ruthless to me for Ye Chen, a worthless piece of trash?” Gongyang Tai’s eyes were filled with unwillingness, his teeth grinding as he spoke to Jin Kun.

”Hmph! The status of Lord Ye Chen is unimaginable to you. Even our Peak Master treats him with utmost respect, yet you dared to offend Lord Ye Chen; how foolish of you.” Jin Kun replied with a blank expression.

”Impossible! How could that worthless piece of trash have such a significant background?” Gongyang Tai looked ashen, practically collapsing to the ground, unable to believe his ears.

At this moment, he truly regretted it.

If he had known Ye Chen had such a significant background, not even a hundred guts would make him dare offend him.

But now, it was all too late.

”Send him to the Celestial Prison, search his Divine Soul to see exactly who has bought him.” Jin Kun said coldly, his eyes flashing with a terrifying gleam of cold light.

He would not casually accuse anyone. If Gongyang Tai were truly innocent, he would naturally be released.

However, this possibility was undoubtedly infinitesimal.

...

Boom!

At this moment, within a spacious Cultivation Chamber, Ye Chen sat cross-legged on a white futon, beginning to communicate with the Celestial Soul Divine Tower.

He was about to start enhancing his Divine Soul.

Ever since he upgraded his Divine Soul to the Soul Emergence Realm in the Carefree Wanderer’s Secret Realm, it had remained stagnant.

Now, it was time for a breakthrough.

After all, he had already accumulated enough Soul Refining Power, so there should be no issues.

”Once I break through to the Soul Emergence Realm, my Divine Soul can separate from my physical body. Even if my body is completely destroyed, I will not perish entirely.” Ye Chen muttered to himself, his eyes brimming with anticipation.
