Supreme Lord of Towers

In the room, Ye Chen’s teeth clenched tightly, his face appearing somewhat distorted.

At this moment, he was truly enraged.

A treasure like the Earth Spirit Stone was absolutely impossible for the Ye Family to possess.

Instead, in a storage bracelet left to Ye Chen by his father, there was an Earth Spirit Stone and some incredibly precious elixirs.

So, the Earth Spirit Stone on Ye Nan was most likely taken out by Ye Lin’Er from that storage ring to reward him.

”Ye Lin’Er, you once regarded her as your beloved, entrusted her with the storage bracelet my father left for me, and never expected you to actually use the treasures inside to bribe Ye Nan, instructing him to take my life, you are truly wicked and ruthless!” Ye Chen’s forehead was bulging with veins, and he was incomparably furious.

He had to understand that the treasures left to him by his father, he couldn’t bear to use them even now.

After all, his dantian was shattered, fundamentally unable to refine the Earth Spirit Stone or use those precious elixirs.

Originally, he had always wanted to wait until he awakened his bloodline, restored his dantian, and then use them to quickly enhance his strength.

But now, those treasures had all been claimed by Ye Lin’Er and were being used as the reward for his assassination.

This made Ye Chen utterly furious, wishing he could immediately tear Ye Lin’Er into pieces.

Unfortunately, the current Ye Chen, although possessing nine Sea of Qi, defeating Ye Lin’Er was practically impossible.

After all, the other party had taken his Phoenix Race bloodline, and her strength must have greatly increased, possibly able to kill Ye Chen with a flick of her finger.

”Damn it, my strength is still too weak. Only by becoming much stronger can I seek revenge on that bitch Ye Lin’Er and retrieve all the treasures left to me by my father and mother!” Ye Chen gritted his teeth tightly, vowing in his heart.

In fact, the Earth Spirit Stones and elixirs left to him by his father, though important to Ye Chen, paled in comparison to another treasure.

That treasure was an exquisitely beautiful crystal necklace, the only relic left to him by his mother.

Ye Chen’s mother had once instructed him that only Ye Chen’s wife would be qualified to inherit this necklace.

And the necklace had always been stored in that storage bracelet, but in the end, it fell into Ye Lin’Er’s hands.

Therefore, Ye Chen vowed in his heart to take back that ring and necklace from Ye Lin’Er.

Otherwise, he would not rest in peace even in death.

”Ye Chen, it was Ye Lin’Er who instructed me to kill you. There is actually no grudge between you and me, please show mercy and spare me this time.” Ye Nan, seeing Ye Chen’s angry expression, became even more terrified.

While kowtowing to beg for mercy, he also took out nine crystalline purple stones from his body.

These purple stones were indeed Earth Spirit Stones.

The spiritual energy contained within the Earth Spirit Stones was exceedingly abundant, equivalent to about a hundred times that of ordinary spirit stones, and much purer than ordinary spirit stones.

Precisely because of this reason, as long as one uses Earth Spirit Stones for cultivation, every small realm advancement could potentially open up three Sea of Qi.

This, already, was three times that of ordinary cultivators.

Ye Nan could not resist such temptation, which is why he hardened his heart to assassinate Ye Chen.

But now, he was extremely regretful.

If he had known earlier that Ye Chen’s strength would be so terrifying, even if he were given a hundred Earth Spirit Stones, he would not dare to provoke Ye Chen.

”Hmph! These Earth Spirit Stones originally belong to me, I’m merely taking them back now. As for you, it’s time for you to go.” Ye Chen said coldly, a horrifying glint flickering in his eyes.

”No! Ye Chen, my father is the Second Elder of the Ye Family, killing me will ensure your inevitable death! Moreover, your adoptive father was seriously injured by the Luo Family Patriarch in the Canglan Mountain Range two days ago, he is already a cripple and cannot protect you.” Ye Nan shouted urgently, his expression extremely frightened.

”What? My adoptive father was seriously injured.” Ye Chen’s pupils contracted suddenly, and his face became extremely unpleasant.

He had been fostered in the Ye Family since the age of six, and his adoptive father Ye Ming and adoptive mother Xiao Hui had always taken care of him meticulously, even more so than their own son.

Therefore, Ye Chen always regarded them as his actual parents.

But now, his adoptive father Ye Ming was actually seriously injured by the Luo Family Patriarch in the Canglan Mountain Range.

This was like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky to Ye Chen.

”Ye Chen, you’d better reconsider; if you let me go now, our grudge can be wiped clean, otherwise, you must accompany me in death.” Ye Nan suddenly threatened.

In his view, only by threatening Ye Chen now did he have a chance to save himself.

Unfortunately, he was wrong.

The thing Ye Chen hated most was being threatened by others in his life.

”Dare to threaten me, die!” In the next moment, the True Qi around Ye Chen’s body surged out like a flood, fiercely striking toward Ye Nan’s chest.

”How dare you!” Ye Nan’s expression was filled with extreme horror, unable to believe his eyes.

Having lost his bloodline, his strength was already greatly diminished, and how could he possibly withstand Ye Chen’s attack?

With a resounding crash.

In an instant, his ribcage shattered completely, even his heart was riddled with countless cracks, dying on the spot.

”After having my bloodline taken by Ye Lin’Er and her father, my adoptive father is seriously injured by the Luo Family Patriarch in the Canglan Mountain Range; is all this just a coincidence? Or have Ye Lin’Er and her father already colluded with the Luo Family Patriarch?” Ye Chen did not even glance at Ye Nan’s corpse, speaking in an incomparably cold tone.

All these years, he had already regarded his adoptive father as the most important relative in the world.

Therefore, after learning that his adoptive father had suffered a serious injury, his heart was utterly pained.

If he had sufficiently powerful strength, he could seek out the Luo Family Patriarch to avenge his adoptive father.

Alas, he was currently too weak.

After all, the Luo Family Patriarch was the top expert of one of the three major families of Kunzhou Prefecture, having stepped into the Gang Qi Realm and become a Qi Dao Master.

With a flick of his finger, he could easily crush Ye Chen as he was now.

”Strength, I desperately need to enhance my strength; without strength, I’m at risk of being killed by Ye Lin’Er and her father at any moment, let alone exact revenge!” Ye Chen’s fists clenched tightly, his expression extremely serious.

He had never desired power as much as he did now.

After all, this was a matter concerning his very life and death.

”As long as I absorb all these nine Earth Spirit Stones, I’ll certainly be able to open up many more Sea of Qi. By that time, even if I’m not a match for a Qi Dao Master, I should be able to sweep most of the cultivators in the True Qi Realm.” Ye Chen, with his thoughts racing, picked up those nine Earth Spirit Stones and grasped them firmly in his hands.
