Supreme Lord of Towers

”Zitong, I’m fine. I’ve already killed the leader of Qingyun Six Sons, so you all don’t need to hide anymore,” Ye Chen said with a slight smile.

”How strong is Ye Chen now? I’m afraid I’ll never be able to catch up to him in my lifetime.” Shangguan Zitong couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

Before entering this Ancient Ruins, she always felt that her strength far exceeded that of Ye Chen.

After all, at that time, Ye Chen hadn’t even reached the Profound Pill Realm.

But now, she realized just how large the gap between herself and Ye Chen had grown.

Nevertheless, the stronger Ye Chen became, the more comforted Shangguan Zitong felt.

She believed that as long as Ye Chen continued to grow smoothly, he would certainly be able to rescue his grandfather Ye Xuan from the Ye Clan’s Celestial Prison one day.

”Unfortunately, the time left for Ye Chen to grow is already running out. Once the powerful figures of the Ye Clan learn of Ye Chen’s potential, they will surely snuff him out in the cradle,” Shangguan Zitong’s brows suddenly furrowed tightly, her expression extremely worried.

This Ancient Ruins, although still some time away from opening.

But that day would eventually come.

Once Ye Chen leaves this Ancient Ruins, no one would be able to protect him.

By then, the Ye Clan only needs to send a somewhat powerful Venerable Golden Core to easily suppress and kill Ye Chen.

This made Shangguan Zitong extremely anxious.

Unless Ye Chen agrees to join the Human King Hall, there might be a chance to escape such a catastrophe.

”There’s one more thing I need to tell you, I’ve decided to join the Human King Hall. Little Xi, from now on, neither the Ye Clan nor the Ji Race can harm you a bit.

Once my strength becomes strong enough, I will surely make them pay with blood for their debts,” Ye Chen’s eyes suddenly emitted terrifyingly cold light, his fists clenched tightly, making sharp cracking sounds.

”The young master has joined the Human King Hall, that’s wonderful.”

”With the protection of the Human King Hall, even the Ye Clan should not dare to act rashly,” Zhu Er and Hei Bo exclaimed joyfully.

”Ye Chen has finally come around, now I can be at ease,” Shangguan Zitong’s expression also reached the peak of delight.

”Brother, I need to work hard to grow stronger and avenge my parents,” Ye Xi said with unwavering determination.

Her cultivation level, although only at the Divine Mansion Realm.

But that was because she was too young.

Just give her a little more time, and she could enter the Profound Pill Realm.

In fact, even in the entire Yellow Cloud World, there were very few capable of reaching this level at fourteen or fifteen years old.

Ye Xi’s potential could be said to outshine everyone else.

As long as she’s given enough time to grow, she even has the hope of becoming a Divine Spirit.

This is also why the Ye Clan and Ji Race were so eager to eliminate her.

It’s because they’re afraid of Ye Xi growing up.

”Little Xi, we’ll definitely succeed,” Ye Chen stroked Ye Xi’s head, speaking softly.

In truth, he didn’t wish to involve Ye Xi in this matter.

After all, the Ye Clan and Ji Race were just too strong.

The revenge part, let him as the brother take care of it.

He would never let Ye Xi take such risks.

...

Soon after, Ye Chen and his companions departed from the Underground Palace and returned to the surface above.

”Eh? This little turtle is so cute! Brother, where did you find it?” Just then, Ye Xi suddenly noticed a small white tortoise nestled on Ye Chen’s shoulder, its two big black eyes staring intently at everyone, looking utterly adorable.

”Pah! I’m not a turtle! You’re insulting me,” Ruyi instantly felt speechless.

He, a mighty Black Tortoise Divine Beast, was being mistaken for such a lowly creature as a turtle.

To him, this was simply an extreme insult.

However, he also knew that Ye Xi was his master’s sister, so even if he was dissatisfied, he could only endure it.

”What? This turtle can talk, could it be, it’s a Spirit Beast?” Zhu Er’s body trembled violently, speaking with a face full of shock.

”Stop, stop, stop! You’re the turtle! Your whole family are turtles.” Ruyi’s forehead was suddenly lined with black lines, almost angered to near fainting.

He had already said he wasn’t a turtle, yet why were others still calling him that.

Could it be because he looked cute and easy to bully?

”Haha! You all misunderstood, Ruyi is not a turtle but a rare Spirit Beast. I found it near the Earth Sect Ruins.

From now on, it’s my pet.” Ye Chen couldn’t help but smile.

”I see, this spirit tortoise sure is cute!” Everyone suddenly realized.

Of course, they wouldn’t think Ruyi was a Black Tortoise Divine Beast, otherwise, they would’ve been scared frozen in their tracks.

”Ruyi, Little Xi is my sister, very important to me, from now on, you must treat her as a master too, you can’t let anyone harm her, understood?” Ye Chen transmitted his voice to Ruyi.

”Yes! Master,” Ruyi immediately accepted the command.

”Ye Chen, what are your plans next? Your current cultivation level is still too low, I just happened to find some Profound Celestial True Water that could help boost your cultivation a bit,” Shangguan Zitong suddenly spoke.

Previously, she found some Profound Celestial True Water near the Water Sect ruins, which rapidly boosted her cultivation to the Seventh Layer of Profound Pill Realm.

However, these Profound Celestial True Water were almost depleted.

Even so, she still decided to give them to Ye Chen.

Because, Ye Chen is her fiancé!

If she could help Ye Chen, she would certainly do her utmost.

”Zitong, thank you, but your cultivation also needs to be quickly improved too, you should hold onto these Profound Celestial True Water for yourself!” Ye Chen couldn’t help but feel warm inside, speaking to Shangguan Zitong gently.

Shangguan Zitong, like him, was burdened with deep-seated hatred.

She definitely longed to become stronger, to help her Shangguan Family avenge their wrongs.

Yet even so, she was still willing to give Ye Chen the Profound Celestial True Water that could rapidly enhance cultivation.

It was enough to show that Ye Chen truly held a place in her heart.

”Brother, you should accept it, Sister-in-law is being so nice to you!” Ye Xi laughed playfully.

She wholeheartedly supported Shangguan Zitong being with her brother.

Though she had only briefly spent time with Shangguan Zitong, she found her gentle and kind.

Moreover, Shangguan Zitong was an unparalleled beauty, truly matching her brother.

”Little Xi, Zitong also strongly needs these True Water to enhance her cultivation! Also, we haven’t yet unlocked the Water Sect inheritance, there might be more Profound Celestial True Water inside, by then, I can also quickly boost my cultivation.” Ye Chen smiled slightly, his eyes full of anticipation.
