Supreme Lord of Towers

The elder before him, named Ye Zhong, was a Venerable Golden Core of the Ye Clan from the Divine Spirit Family.

He had followed the Third Elder of the Ye Clan for many years, and this time, he was specifically here to meet the grandson of the Ye Clan’s Third Elder, Ye Fei.

However, now that most of the cultivators from the ancient ruins had already emerged, he still had not seen any trace of Ye Fei.

This filled him with anxiety.

If anything happened to Ye Fei, how was he supposed to explain it to the Ye Clan’s Third Elder?

”Brother Zhong, Master Ye Fei will definitely be fine. His strength in the ancient ruins was absolutely invincible, and no one could threaten him!”

”That’s right, Master Ye Fei must have been delayed by something, perhaps he’s secluded in cultivation somewhere and hasn’t come out.” The strong members of the Ye Clan around Ye Zhong spoke up to comfort him.

It’s known that Ye Fei’s cultivation had already reached the peak of the Profound Pill Realm, and he had even awakened the Celestial Level Sixth Grade Purple Phoenix Bloodline.

In this world, aside from a very few extraordinary exceptions, no Profound Pill Realm cultivator could do anything to him.

And such extraordinary existences were unlikely to enter the ancient ruins.

Therefore, Ye Fei must still be alive!

”Damn it! Why hasn’t Mengxuan come out yet, not even one of our Ji Race has appeared. What in the world is going on!” On a distant mountain peak, another elder spoke with incredible urgency.

This elder, named Ji Liang, was a strong figure sent by the Ji Race to fetch Ji Mengxuan.

Yet at this moment, a foreboding feeling swelled within him.

Because, not only had he not seen Ji Mengxuan, but he also had not seen the Ji Race cultivators who entered the ancient ruins with her.

This was indeed too abnormal.

Even if Ji Mengxuan had been delayed by something, she should have sent Ji Race cultivators out to convey it.

”What? Miss Mengxuan has fallen!” Just then, a Ji Race strong man beside Ji Liang trembled violently, his face turning paler than a dead man’s.

Earlier, several disciples of the Ziwei Sacred Land who emerged from the ancient ruins had already relayed this news through Communication Crystal Stone.

After all, besides being the pride of the Ji Race, Ji Mengxuan was also a core disciple of the Ziwei Sacred Land.

Naturally, they had the duty to inform the Ji Race strong man of Ji Mengxuan’s death.

”No! No! What exactly happened!” Ji Liang’s body seemed as if it was struck by lightning, unable to accept the truth.

”It was Ye Chen, Ye Xi’s brother, who killed Miss Mengxuan. That traitor of the Ye Clan, his strength has become astoundingly powerful, even Ye Fei fell at his hands.” The Ji Race strong man’s face turned exceptionally grim.

”Ye Chen! Damn it, I will definitely tear this little bastard to pieces, avenge Miss Mengxuan! Otherwise, how can I face the Divine Lady!” Ji Liang’s expression turned hideously fierce, grinding his teeth with rage.

It’s known that Ji Mengxuan was the niece of their Ji Race’s Divine Lady, Ji Ling’Er.

If Ji Ling’Er knew that Ji Mengxuan had died at Ye Chen’s hand, he would undoubtedly be furious.

By then, Ji Liang and his group might very well be implicated.

Therefore, only by bringing back Ye Chen’s head to see Ji Mengxuan would they have a slim chance of survival.

”That little bastard has joined the Human King Hall; it won’t be easy to kill him.” The Ji Race strong man’s expression was solemn.

”We must do it, difficult or not, with the Dragon Race already beginning to invade here, once chaos ensues, we will have a chance.

Let’s go, we will join forces with Ye Zhong and the others, and find a chance to crush Ye Chen, that ant.” Ji Liang’s eyes sparkled with terrifying murderous intent.

Quickly, Ye Zhong and other Ye Clan strong men learned of the tragic news of Ye Fei and Ji Mengxuan’s deaths from Ji Liang’s mouth.

This made their faces turn paler than death.

”Damn it, truly damn it, who would have thought this little bastard Ye Chen has actually grown to such a degree, even able to kill Master Ye Fei. No wonder even the Human King Hall wants to recruit him.” Ye Zhong’s features twisted together in an angrily distorted expression.

Years ago, after Ye Chen and his father Ye Qi fled the Ye Clan, they were hunted by the Ye Clan’s Third Elder.

Although Ye Chen narrowly escaped death, he had his Dantian crippled by the Ye Clan’s Third Elder and was completely rendered useless.

This matter, Ye Zhong knew all too clearly.

Yet, what he didn’t expect was that in just over ten years, Ye Chen had not only restored his Dantian but also acquired the strength to kill Ye Fei.

This was practically like a fairytale.

He truly couldn’t comprehend what had happened to Ye Chen, this bastard, over the years; why had he become so powerful.

”Brother Zhong, whatever price we must pay today, we must eliminate these two bastards, or there will be endless troubles.” Ji Liang coldly stared at Ye Chen and Ye Xi, his entire being exuding terrifying killing intent.

”Hmm! Let’s observe and await changes first, then after the Dragon Race strong men invade, we’ll find a chance to crush them!” Ye Zhong said expressionlessly, viewing Ye Chen as if he were already dead.

Indeed!

Ye Chen’s strength really had become tremendously formidable, even able to kill Ye Fei.

However, in the face of his peak of Golden Core Realm strength, Ye Chen was still akin to an ant, incapable of putting up any resistance.

A talent that hasn’t grown, even with heaven-defying potential, is nothing!

As long as he’s eliminated in the crib, he won’t pose any threat to the Ye Clan.

...

”Our disciples are all out; perhaps we should leave here first!”

”Yes! We have no need to fight to the death against the Dragon Race strong men!” At this moment, some powerful figures from major forces began reconsidering.

This time around, their purpose was to retrieve their sect’s disciples, not to fight against foreign races.

If they really engaged in battle, casualties would undoubtedly be severe.

After all, their enemies were the notoriously fierce Dragon Race!

”No! We can’t just leave like this, a destroyed nest leaves no intact eggs. If we don’t unite now, we’ll be picked off individually by the Dragon Race, and casualties will be even worse!” Many strong figures shook their heads, their expressions extremely grave.

Currently, Dragon Race strong men had already emerged from that space channel, if they didn’t unite in battle, but fled individually, they’d only die quicker.

”Humph! Anyone who dares desert will be killed without mercy.” At this time, Elder Bai Yuan suddenly spoke coldly, his tone filled with endless authority.

The purpose of setting up the Human King Hall was to unite the Human Race against external foes.

Thus, once they found someone deserting at the critical juncture, they wouldn’t be lenient.

Such actions were to prevent the disintegration of their collective morale.
