Supreme Lord of Towers

”Brother! Grandpa Yuan has always been particularly good to me, treating me like his own granddaughter! But he was killed by the powerful members of the Ye Clan and Ji Race because of his involvement with me! I really feel sorry for him, and I’m sorry for the entire Yuan Family.” As Ye Xi spoke, her voice became choked with sobs, tears constantly welling up in her eyes, her expression filled with the utmost self-blame.

The Yuan Family met their tragic end at the hands of the Ye Clan and Ji Race merely for taking her in.

Even the elderly and children were not spared.

This left Ye Xi trapped in grief and self-reproach, unable to find solace even now.

If Ye Chen hadn’t found her just in time, even if she hadn’t died at the hands of Ye Fei and Ji Mengxuan, she would have had psychological issues.

”Xiao Xi, this isn’t your fault. The true culprits are the Ye Clan and Ji Race! Don’t worry, one day, your brother will definitely avenge you and serve justice for the Yuan Family.” Ye Chen clenched his fists tightly, producing a harsh cracking sound.

At this moment, he was also thoroughly enraged by what the Ye Clan and Ji Race had done.

If it weren’t for the Yuan Family taking his sister in all these years, her fate would have certainly been miserable.

Therefore, Ye Chen was immensely grateful to the Yuan Family.

However, before he had the chance to repay their kindness, the Yuan Family was destroyed by the Ye Clan and Ji Race’s powerful members.

How could Ye Chen not be angry?

”Brother! The Ye Clan and Ji Race are too powerful. It’s extremely difficult for us to destroy them! My greatest wish is for my brother to live safely. If even you’re gone, what meaning would revenge even have?” Ye Xi said, pressing her lips together.

She genuinely didn’t want her brother to fall into danger for the sake of avenging her.

Her brother’s life was what mattered most.

”Xiao Xi, brother won’t act recklessly! By the way, you said Senior Yuan gave you four pieces of the Five Elements Order, doesn’t that mean we can also unlock the inheritance in the other three ruins?” Ye Chen said.

”Yes! Grandpa Yuan was a descendant of a sect leader from the Five Elements Immortal Sect, so he always kept these four pieces of the Five Elements Order. I’ve heard Grandpa Yuan mention that only by collecting all five can the inheritance in the Earth Sect Ruins be unlocked!” Moved by the thought, Ye Xi took out four tokens from her storage ring.

These four tokens looked similar to the Five Elements Order that Ye Chen had, only their colors were different.

They respectively represented the symbols of the Wood Sect, Water Sect, and Golden Sect’s leaders!

Only with them could the inheritance left by these four major sects be unlocked.

”Brother just happens to have the Fire Sect’s Five Elements Order, which means the five tokens are now complete! I wonder what the Earth Sect Ruins are hiding that requires five tokens to unlock!” Ye Chen’s eyes flickered with intense curiosity.

To him, the inheritance within the Earth Sect Ruins was certainly not simple.

Otherwise, there would be no need to gather all five pieces of the Five Elements Order to unlock it.

”I don’t know either, Grandpa Yuan never told me.” Ye Xi shook her head.

”The Qingyun Six, wanting to collect all five pieces of the Five Elements Order, may be intending to unlock the inheritance within the Earth Sect Ruins! So, they’re likely stationed near the Earth Sect Ruins. How about I settle the score with them now?” Ye Chen said with a cold smile, his entire body brimming with battle intent.

Previously, Bai Feng and Jia Xiong wanted to kill him and his sister to collect the Five Elements Order.

Though he exterminated Bai Feng and the others,

there were still four members of the Qingyun Six remaining.

And these four could seek revenge on Ye Chen at any time.

Instead of waiting, Ye Chen might as well strike first.

”Brother, please don’t be rash. The other four members of the Qingyun Six are definitely much stronger than Bai Feng. We shouldn’t act hastily without knowing their strength.” Ye Xi’s expression changed dramatically as she quickly tried to dissuade Ye Chen.

Bai Feng, just the fifth-ranked among the Qingyun Six, was already terrifyingly powerful, easily crushing even Ye Fei.

It’s hard to imagine just how strong the other four members of the Qingyun Six are!

Moreover, these four might be gathered together.

No matter how strong Ye Chen was, defeating these four alone seemed almost impossible.

So, she truly didn’t want her brother to take such a risk.

”Fine, then let’s first unlock the inheritances of the other two ruins. If they persist and provoke us, they’ll all be eliminated without mercy.” Ye Chen nodded.

He did so largely to ease Ye Xi’s worries.

”Okay! Brother, this place is closer to the Golden Sect ruins, so why don’t we head there first?” Ye Xi visibly relaxed, a brilliant smile appearing on her lips.

”Then let’s set off now.” Ye Chen smiled faintly. In a flash, he took Ye Xi and flew swiftly towards the Golden Sect ruins.

Currently, the Fourth Divine Tower hidden deep within the Human Emperor’s Space has absorbed enough bloodline power, and Ye Chen could activate it at any time.

Thus, he wanted to find a place to activate this divine tower and see its true nature.

The Golden Sect ruins seemed like a good choice.

After all, once he activated the inheritance within the Golden Sect ruins, he would be protected by the array.

Even if all six Qingyun heirs mobilized, they still couldn’t interrupt him.

”While I activate the Fourth Divine Tower, time and space outside will halt temporarily. But to be safe, it’s better to find a secure location.” Ye Chen thought silently as he flew.

If he were alone, he could activate the Fourth Divine Tower anywhere.

In the process of opening the divine tower, the surrounding time would briefly pause.

But now, he had a sister to protect, necessitating extra caution.

If anything happened to her, regardless of the strength he gained, what would it mean?

The entire point of his strength was to better protect his family and friends.

...

The Golden Sect ruins were located north of these ancient ruins, surrounded by towering mountain peaks.

Many peaks, resembling divine swords, pierced straight into the clouds, creating a sense of immense pressure.

Currently, many cultivators were gathering there, seeking treasures.

”It’s said that the Golden Sect was once a renowned Artifact Refining Sect, capable of refining even top-grade treasures. If we’re lucky enough to get one here, this trip will have been worth it,” a cultivator said excitedly.

”Stop dreaming. Top-grade treasures aren’t so easily found.”

”Indeed! Those are treasures many Venerable Golden Core cultivators long to possess.” Other cultivators sneered, their tones filled with mockery.

Top-grade treasures are extremely precious, and only the elites among Venerable Golden Cores can obtain them.

Ordinary Venerable Golden Cores would be fortunate to have even an upper-grade treasure.

So, the likelihood of finding a top-grade treasure here was practically zero for them.

”Look, someone’s coming.”

”Gosh! Their clothes resemble those of the two Outer Realm visitors killed by Ye Chen!”

”Could they be Outer Realm visitors too?” At this, surrounding cultivators gasped, their faces filled with horror.
