Chen Lie had no idea what was in Lu Ye’s hand, but he could feel a dangerous aura coming from the ball.

By the time he finished speaking, he had reached Lu Ye. As his Spiritual Power surged, he pushed out a fist.

Although he was old, no one would underestimate his power as he was a Body-tempering Cultivator. Since he had fully activated his power, he was confident that a Fifth-Order Real Lake Realm Master like Lu Ye couldn’t fend off the attack.

While pushing out the fist, he extended his other hand towards the ball in an attempt to snatch it away.

Suddenly, a Saber Light came at him. Chen Lie activated his vitality and Spiritual Power to protect himself without dodging the attack.

It wasn’t until the attack reached him that he realised something was off. Faced with the immense force, he stiffened at once as the protective barrier formed by his vitality and Spiritual Power was shattered. By the time he felt pain, he had been sent flying away.

Another Elder had charged forward alongside Chen Lie, but he had been beheaded. He was the Seventh Elder, who was a Seventh-Order Real Lake Realm Master.

There was no doubt a Seventh-Order Master was powerful in the Real Lake Realm. However, the Seventh Elder couldn’t even take one move from Lu Ye. What was more, Lu Ye had driven off Chen Lie before killing the Seventh-Order Master.

Chen Lie was horrified deep within. Overwhelmed by a great sense of danger, he heard some cracking sounds. When he stabilised himself and looked ahead, he fell into a dazed state.

In front of the reception hall, there was a ten-metre-tall red figure in the spot where Lu Ye had stood. It was an angular figure with a fluid contour. The figure gave off a ferocious feeling.

The red figure was covered in abstruse patterns, which ran from his face to all his limbs, forming a wild totem.

Two dots of red light radiated from the eyes of this towering figure. Anyone who saw the eyes would be horrified deep within as though the eyes could snatch their soul away.

A visible air blast exuded from the red figure’s feet and spread in all directions. At the same time, an indescribable sense of pressure proliferated.

At that moment, all the Chen Family cultivators fell into a dazed state as their attention was drawn to the red figure.

Chen Tianchui, who was hiding among the crowd, was dumbfounded. Since Chen Lie had been sent flying away, he couldn’t see it clearly.

However, Chen Tianchui had seen everything as he had been there all along. During the intense battle, Lu Ye suddenly summoned a ball the size of a baby’s skull. Following that, the ball came apart and turned into countless pieces before they were attached to Lu Ye. In the blink of an eye, the man transformed into a ten-metre-tall hideous being.

[What is that?] As the patriarch of a Tier-Six family as well as a Ninth-Order Real Lake Realm Master, Chen Tianchui could be considered an experienced person. Still, he was astounded by the sight before his eyes.

[Is that a Golem?] He had never heard that Lu Ye possessed a Golem. Moreover, such a Golem was out of this world.

What was even more terrifying was that Lu Ye, now clad in a Golem, was holding a five-metre-long saber, which had a node every 30 centimetres just like bamboo.

With the saber in his hand, he exuded a savage aura. He looked just like an ancient ominous beast.

At that instant, all the Chen Family cultivators felt cold all over their bodies.

Just then, a breath was gently let out as streams of air exuded from the two sides of the Golem’s forehead and turned into mist.

Lu Ye lightly wielded the saber as though he was chasing some bugs away.

A Saber Light was faintly seen flickering. The cultivators in front of Lu Ye stiffened at once. These people included an Elder in the Real Lake Realm.

The next moment, he slightly lowered his figure and dragged the weapon across the ground while moving past those stiff cultivators.

The wind carried by the movement breezed through these frozen people. Without any exception, their upper bodies fell to the ground and revealed flat incisions. Blood spurted from their lower bodies.

Lu Ye was like a tiger among a herd of sheep. The towering figure, coupled with the hideous-looking saber, made these cultivators rooted to the spot. Every time a Saber Light flickered, there would be people dying. There was bloodshed wherever he went.

“Kill him!” someone suddenly growled from the back of the crowd.

Only then did these cultivators come to their senses and fearlessly pounce on the towering figure. As the Saber Light flickered, more and more people were dead. Surprisingly, those who were still alive were unafraid. They stepped on the corpses and blood while bravely charging forward.

From afar, the scene looked shocking yet miserable.

In the reception hall, Li Baxian and the others were dumbfounded as they witnessed the turn of events.

Before this, none of them had seen the Dragon Throne. They initially thought they were doomed. Much to their surprise, Lu Ye had this trump card.

Since Lu Ye had caught the attention of most cultivators while using the Dragon Throne, they immediately felt less pressure.

Ju Jia and Xiao Xinghe stood at the entrance of the reception hall as they activated their Spiritual Powers to fend off the Chen Family cultivators.

On the other hand, Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan used their respective moves to kill the opponents. Also, Lin Yinxiu would show up from time to time to end the enemies’ lives. With the five of them working together, they could ensure their safety for the time being.

“Something is off,” Li Baxian said. Despite being in an intense battle, he took a look at Lu Ye.

Something had been amiss since the beginning. None of them could’ve expected that the Chen Family had some ill intentions against them. What was going on now felt even stranger.

Supposedly, even Real Lake Realm Masters would be terrified when facing Lu Ye, who was using the Dragon Throne.

Once morale was lost, it would be difficult to regain it. Many from the Chen Family had lost their lives. Those who were still alive must be horrified.

However, these people didn’t seem afraid at all. Following the order, even the weakest Spirit Creek Realm Masters madly pounced on Lu Ye. They didn’t seem to treasure their lives. Some even climbed onto the Dragon Throne and forcefully attacked the towering figure.

Although Lu Ye could kill them quickly, there were too many opponents.

Soon enough, the huge figure was no longer in sight. It was engulfed by the cultivators from the Chen Family.

Just as Li Baxian and the others were worried about Lu Ye’s safety, a grim voice was heard coming from the mountain of people.

“Lone Moon!”

Following that, a Saber Light radiated from the gap among these people. Then, more Saber Lights that looked like crescent Moons slashed across these people as whooshes were continuously heard.

The mountain of people came apart as broken limbs scattered in all directions. The Dragon Throne was revealed again as the red figure was covered in blood, which made its colour look more vivid.

Chen Lie’s head fell to the ground in front of the reception hall. Looking at the head that was right before his feet, Ju Jia kicked it and caused it to explode.

As soon as Lu Ye regained his freedom, he charged towards a particular spot in the crowd. As he wielded the Dragon Spine Saber, he easily slashed across them like they were straws. Anyone who dared to go anywhere near 30 metres around him would collapse to the ground.

He could move so quickly that his figure could hardly be seen under the night sky. Only his eyes left behind two streaks of red light as he dashed forward.

In the blink of an eye, he reached a middle-aged man.

The person growled and summoned a sledgehammer before leaping into the air. While falling, he forcefully tried to strike Lu Ye’s head. He had fully activated his power, so the attack shouldn’t be underestimated.

Still, faced with such an attack, Lu Ye only lifted his head and effortlessly caught the sledgehammer.

With a boom, the towering figure slightly bent his knees to resolve the impact. While grabbing the sledgehammer, he pulled the other party closer to himself and turned the Dragon Spine Saber around before striking the person’s chest with the hilt.

With a crack, many of the middle-aged man’s ribs were broken. He sprayed out a mouthful of blood as his aura withered in an instant.

Lu Ye threw the sledgehammer away and clenched the man’s head. Looking at him, he said icily from the Dragon Throne, “What are all of you up to?”

The middle-aged man was none other than the patriarch of the Chen Family, Chen Tianchui.

He had been hiding among the crowd and giving orders. Lu Ye had located him and could sense that the other party was the only Real Lake Realm Master left in the Chen Family.

The other Real Lake Realm Masters were either killed by him or other members of Team D9. Only 30 per cent of the Chen Family cultivators survived.

Lu Ye didn’t kill him because he felt what had happened was strange. Not only did the Chen Family try to secretly harm them, but they even besieged them after their wrongdoing was exposed.

He initially thought that the Chen Family was a mole planted by Thousand Demon Ridge. They seized the chance to get rid of him for good. However, following the battle, he didn’t think that was the case.

That was because the Chen Family cultivators were too fearless. It was as though they were more than willing to sacrifice their lives. Even when Lu Ye put on the Dragon Throne, he had only managed to astound them in the beginning. He was no longer intimidating to them a moment later.

Even if the Chen Family was a mole planted by Thousand Demon Ridge, only a small number of them were traitors. There was no way all the Chen Family cultivators worked for Thousand Demon Ridge. Otherwise, this secret would’ve been exposed long ago.

As such, Lu Ye couldn’t understand why those from the Chen Family were so brazen. Didn’t they know the consequences of trying to kill the members of a law enforcement team?

He didn’t kill Chen Tianchui because he wanted to bring him back to Grand Sky City and interrogate him.

Regardless, he had to get to the bottom of the truth. Otherwise, they might come across a similar attack again.

“You’re indeed the chosen one…” Chen Tianchui suddenly said.

“What do you mean?” Lu Ye asked, but before he could get a response, he heard the sound of liquid squirting coming from Chen Tianchui’s head. Following that, Chen Tianchui’s head slumped to the side as his aura was gone.

He was dead just like this. Lu Ye didn’t even know how the man lost his life as he didn’t detect Chen Tianchui activating his Spiritual Power.

Following that, similar sounds were heard coming from nearby spots.

“Capture them alive!” Lu Ye bellowed and extended his hand towards the nearest cultivator, but the person lost his life as soon as he was captured.

All the survivors collapsed to the ground. They were no longer alive.

Lu Ye was dumbfounded. Li Baxian and the others, who were still reeling from the shock of the battle earlier, were flabbergasted as well.
