Supreme Lord of Towers

”In the Wood Sect’s ruins, traces of your sister were discovered ten days ago,” Hei Bo said with utmost seriousness, clearly shaken by Ye Chen’s current demeanor.

He had never seen Ye Chen so enraged and anxious.

It seemed that Ye Xi held an extremely important place in Ye Chen’s heart.

”Ten days ago?” Ye Chen’s pupils contracted fiercely, his face turning ashen.

If his sister Ye Xi had indeed been targeted by Ye Fei ten days ago, perhaps she was already in his clutches.

Worse, Ye Fei might have even killed her.

To Ye Chen, this revelation was like a bolt from the blue.

”Ye Chen, your sister should be safe for now. For reasons unknown, she possesses a Five Elements Order that can activate the Wood Sect’s inheritance. Thus, she has been hiding in the inheritance site since ten days ago,” Hei Bo quickly reassured Ye Chen.

”Thank goodness, thank goodness. Little Xi, I’m coming to save you now, hold on,” Ye Chen’s figure flickered, transforming into a streak of lightning and vanished instantly, rushing towards the direction of the Wood Sect ruins.

”Ye Chen, wait for me, I’ll go with you,” Shangguan Zitong said, visibly worried.

Though Ye Chen’s power was formidable, capable of killing even Tuoba Yun and Gongyang Liao,

Ye Fei and Ji Mengxuan were much more terrifying than Tuoba Yun and the others.

That’s why she was genuinely concerned Ye Chen might be crushed by them.

”Miss, you mustn’t go there, or you could face a disastrous fate at any moment,” Hei Bo’s expression changed drastically as he hurriedly stopped Shangguan Zitong.

Even though Shangguan Zitong was a core disciple of Ziwei Sacred Land, ordinary cultivators dared not touch her easily.

But Ye Fei and Ji Mengxuan were different.

Both were direct descendants of the Divine Spirit Family, of incredibly high status, and even if they killed Shangguan Zitong, Ziwei Sacred Land would not stand up for her.

Thus, if Shangguan Zitong went with Ye Chen to rescue Ye Xi, the risks were exceedingly high.

”Zitong, I truly understand your intentions, but dealing with this wretch Ye Fei, I alone am enough. Please take care of Xiao Bai for me,” Ye Chen’s voice suddenly appeared in Shangguan Zitong’s ear.

He knew well that Shangguan Zitong sincerely wanted to help him save his sister.

However, the more genuine she was, the less Ye Chen could involve her.

If Shangguan Zitong was targeted by the Ye Clan and Ji Race because of him, the consequences would be unimaginable.

With the power of the Ye Clan and Ji Race, harming her would be all too easy.

”What? Did I hear wrong? Ye Chen actually doesn’t care about Ye Fei?”

”It seems his confidence has ballooned completely after defeating Tuoba Yun and Gongyang Liao,” the onlooking cultivators shook their heads, thinking Ye Chen was too arrogant.

After all, no matter how strong he was, ultimately he was only a cultivator at the Profound Pill Realm First Layer, absolutely incapable of defeating someone as monstrous as Ye Fei at the Peak of the Profound Pill Realm.

Whoosh!

In the next moment, Ye Chen pushed his speed to the limit, instantly disappearing from everyone’s sight.

Even if Shangguan Zitong wanted to chase him, it was already too late.

Her body remained standing stiffly on the spot, her eyebrows knitted with intense anxiety, unsure of what to do.

”Miss, Ye Fei and Ji Mengxuan are not opponents we can afford to provoke. We better not cause unnecessary complications, or we might even implicate your parents,” Hei Bo stood in front of Shangguan Zitong, speaking with extreme gravity.

”Ye Chen, I’m sorry, I’m useless and can’t help you at all,” Shangguan Zitong’s lips pressed tightly together, her eyes filled with deep self-blame.

Originally, she believed, after becoming a core disciple of Ziwei Sacred Land, she could protect Ye Chen.

Unexpectedly, she couldn’t help Ye Chen at all and instead needed Ye Chen to rescue her.

It’s truly a massive irony.

”Alas! My strength is still too weak, too weak. If only I could increase the concentration of my bloodline, how great that would be!” Shangguan Zitong bit her teeth tightly, fervently longing for power.

Her Cyan Dragon Bloodline was a Celestial Level five-grade bloodline, and if the concentration could be raised to the Two-Star level, she would have confidence to defeat even Ye Fei and Ji Mengxuan.

Sadly, reality was often cruel.

Without special cultivation resources, enhancing bloodline concentration was easier said than done.

”Miss, take the opportunity now to find a place to elevate your cultivation to the Seventh Layer of the Profound Pill Realm. As for your husband, we are powerless to help,” Zhuer’s eyes were red, with tears shimmering.

Having spent considerable time with Ye Chen and having been saved by him twice, she had already developed feelings for Ye Chen.

Thus, the thought of Ye Chen dying at Ye Fei’s hands filled her heart with sorrow.

But she was powerless.

”No! I must find a way to save Ye Chen.” At that moment, Shangguan Zitong’s gaze fell on a man, her eyes filled with determination.

This man was exceptionally handsome. He was Zhao Yu, a core disciple of Ziwei Sacred Land.

Zhao Yu’s cultivation had reached the Peak of the Profound Pill Realm, and he was strong even among the core disciples of Ziwei Sacred Land.

Even Ye Fei and Ji Mengxuan might not be his match.

Therefore, if Zhao Yu helped save Ye Chen, there was hope for Ye Chen to survive this crisis.

Swish!

In the next moment, Shangguan Zitong’s figure flickered and she flew towards Zhao Yu, her voice full of pleading: ”Brother Zhao, can you save Ye Chen? If you do, I will remember this favor for life.”

Her pride had always been strong, never asking favor from anyone.

But this time, to save Ye Chen, she could only set aside her dignity.

After all, Ye Chen was her fiancé!

How could she stand by and watch Ye Chen die at Ye Fei’s hands?

”Heh! Shangguan Zitong, I never thought you, this wretched woman, would have such a day. Aren’t you usually so arrogant? What now?” In the crowd, Zi Mei from Ziwei Sacred Land couldn’t resist ridiculing, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

Shangguan Zitong was notoriously difficult to approach.

Even Jiang Xuan, the Saint Son of the Divine Spirit Family, was mostly ignored by her.

Yet now, she was pleading with Zhao Yu for a mere waste unable to awaken his bloodline.

A colossal irony indeed.
