Supreme Lord of Towers

At this moment, the man in the golden robe, Lin Tong, was genuinely excited.

Even he hadn’t expected that he could encounter Ye Chen and Ye Xi so smoothly.

In his view, the reason Ye Chen and Ye Xi had come to the Golden Sect relics was definitely because they had the Five Elements Order to unlock the Golden Sect’s legacy.

Otherwise, there would be no point for them to come to this place at all.

Therefore, if he could kill Ye Chen and Ye Xi, he could obtain the Five Elements Order they carried.

By then, he would be able to unlock the Golden Sect’s legacy, acquire a large number of treasures, and undergo a tremendous transformation in power.

”It seems you’re here to avenge Bai Feng and Jia Xiong. In that case, I’ll send you down to accompany them,” Ye Chen said with a cold smile, about to attack Lin Tong.

”Brother, wait a minute. We still don’t know his strength. Don’t act rashly. Ahead is the Golden Sect’s array. Once we unlock the Golden Sect’s legacy, we can get the array’s protection,” Ye Xi hurriedly stopped Ye Chen, her expression extremely solemn.

It’s important to know that among the Six Sons of Qingyun, each is more powerful than the other.

If Ye Chen were to fight him without understanding his background, it would be quite dangerous.

Ye Xi naturally didn’t want Ye Chen to take such a risk.

”Alright, I’ll spare him for now,” Ye Chen nodded.

Swish!

Soon, the two of them landed at the mountain’s peak.

Rumble!

Immediately, a golden pillar rose from beneath their feet, soaring to a height of five zhang, covered with a dense array pattern.

In the middle of the pillar, there was a palm-sized groove, just large enough to fit a piece of Five Elements Order.

”Activate it for me!” Ye Xi hurriedly took out the golden Five Elements Order from her body and placed it into the groove.

Because the man in the golden robe, Lin Tong, was getting closer and closer to them.

If he managed to break in, the consequences would be unimaginable.

”Damn scum, you won’t succeed. Just die,” Lin Tong’s face was cruel to the extreme as he suddenly unleashed terrifying battle swords from within, shooting towards Ye Chen and Ye Xi like lightning.

The power contained within these battle swords was incredibly strong, even more fearsome than Bai Feng’s Innate Sword Qi.

Even for someone as strong as Ye Fei and Ji Mengxuan, they would only be instantly killed.

Even the void was slashed with massive cracks by them, the scene incredibly terrifying.

”Quick, quick!” Ye Xi’s body trembled suddenly, her expression anxious to the extreme.

She could feel an intense threat of death from above those battle swords.

If struck, even with her Omen Bloodline, she would undoubtedly die.

”Battle swords? This guy also knows how to use a sword array,” a trace of surprise flashed in Ye Chen’s eyes.

What astonished him wasn’t Lin Tong’s strength but the fact that he could use a sword array.

After all, sword array masters were incredibly rare in the Yellow Cloud World.

With a great buzzing sound.

Just as Ye Chen was about to intercept the battle swords, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst from the top of the pillar, transforming into a massive protective shield that enveloped Ye Chen and Ye Xi in its center.

Boom boom boom!

In a flash, the battle swords Lin Tong had launched clashed against the protective shield with thunderous explosions.

However, the shield’s defense power was so strong that not even a crack appeared on it!

”Damn, it’s the power of the array!” Lin Tong’s face turned extremely grim, his features twisted.

Just a moment ago, he was only a step away from killing Ye Chen and Ye Xi.

But unexpectedly, at the critical moment, they were blocked by the array’s power.

This really drove him to the brink of madness.

It should be known that this array was set up by a Golden Sect quasi-god from ancient times.

Even though its power had diminished over the long years and might stop functioning at any time.

Still, it wasn’t something Lin Tong could break through with brute force.

Not even a Venerable Golden Core could do it, let alone him.

”It’s a relief we’re safe,” Ye Xi couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, her back already soaked with cold sweat.

Fortunately, she had unlocked the Golden Sect’s legacy just in time.

Otherwise, she and Ye Chen might really have died at the hands of this Outer Realm intruder.

Rumble.

At this moment, the ground beneath Ye Chen and Ye Xi suddenly split open, revealing layers of steps leading deep into the heart of the mountain.

Ye Chen could even see, at the end of the steps, a purple-gold temple standing, exuding an ancient and desolate aura.

”It’s the Golden Sect’s legacy; all the Golden Sect’s treasures must be stored in that temple,” Lin Tong’s pupils shrank sharply, like a cat that had seen a fish, filled with intense greed in his eyes.

However, his body was blocked by the array’s power outside.

Even though he knew the treasures he desired were likely hidden deep within that temple, he could only be anxious!

”Xiao Xi, let’s go down. As for this annoying fly, it won’t hurt to swat him later,” Ye Chen said disdainfully, glancing at Lin Tong, then led Ye Xi toward the temple deep within the mountain.

”Ye Chen, don’t be too happy. When this array stops functioning, it will be your death day. You can’t hide in there forever,” Lin Tong’s expression was grim to the extreme, with terrifying killing intent surging in his eyes.

At this moment, he really had an impulse to rush over and tear Ye Chen into pieces.

The treasure he desired was right before his eyes, yet he had no way to obtain it.

This feeling was truly suffocating.

”No, this array seems to be showing weaknesses. Once I can find these weaknesses, I have hope to fully break it open, without needing to wait so long,” Lin Tong’s expression suddenly became incredibly excited as he stared intently at a corner of the mountain.

He discovered that due to its age, some of the array patterns here had severely decayed, starting to show weaknesses.

And he, as a sword array master, had considerable knowledge in the way of arrays.

Given some time, he might find a way to completely break this array.

By then, he wouldn’t only acquire the treasures within the Fire Sect’s legacy, but also crush Ye Chen and his sister.

This would be like killing two birds with one stone.

”Damn scum, enjoy the remaining time you have. When I break the array, I’ll make sure you die in fear and despair,” Lin Tong sneered, his tone chillingly cold, sending shivers down one’s spine.
