Supreme Lord of Towers

”Who dares to ruin my plans? Who gave you the guts to do this?” At this moment, the steward from Profound Sword Peak who attacked Ye Ming and Xiao Hui looked extremely grim, his eyes filled with intense rage.

He originally thought that his killing technique would easily crush Ye Chen’s surrogate parents to death.

Yet, to his surprise, there was someone bold enough to interfere at the critical moment.

”Girl, fortunately, we’ve been secretly protecting Ye Chen’s surrogate parents all along. Otherwise, they would be in mortal peril today.” The mysterious elder in a bronze mask didn’t even glance at the steward from Profound Sword Peak. Instead, he communicated with the darkly-clothed maiden.

”Hei Bo, clear out these ants. We must not let anyone discover our tracks,” the darkly-clothed maiden said calmly.

”Hmm!” The mysterious elder nodded in agreement, his eyes suddenly shooting out terrifying cold gleams.

Whoosh.

In the next moment, a brilliant purple divine light shot out from the elder’s fingertips, breaking through the void instantly and appearing before the steward from Profound Sword Peak.

”No!” The steward’s eyes went wide with horror and despair.

At that moment, he could sense the terrifying power within the purple divine light, far beyond anything he could resist.

Ah!

A ghastly scream echoed throughout the sky, sending chills down the spine.

In an instant, the steward’s head was penetrated by the purple divine light, and he died instantly, his body falling towards the ground like a meteor.

”What? How is this possible?”

”Steward Wang was killed in an instant by him. Who is he?” The other stewards from Profound Sword Peak inhaled sharply, a chill running down their spines.

They hadn’t even had time to react before the steward was killed by the mysterious elder.

Not even a strong practitioner at the peak of the Celestial Spirit Realm could achieve this.

Could it be that the mysterious elder’s power exceeds the peak of the Celestial Spirit Realm?

But War King Hall has long declined. How could such a terrifying figure be hiding there?

”Are you the one who broke into our Duanmu Family’s Celestial Prison last time and rescued these two scoundrels? Why are you helping them?” At this moment, even Duanmu Xi’s expression turned extremely grave as he sternly questioned the mysterious elder.

”Is a mere ant worthy of such knowledge?” The mysterious elder spoke coldly, his tone exceedingly overbearing, as if looking at Duanmu Xi as an ant he could crush at will.

”Old thing, stop putting on airs before me. These two scoundrels must die today. Anyone who dares save them is opposing our Xiahou Family. If you don’t want to die, get lost,” Xiahou Zong suddenly spoke, his voice filled with threats.

He could perceive that the mysterious elder’s power was formidable. If they really fought, even he wouldn’t gain any advantage.

Therefore, he brought up the Xiahou Family, intending to intimidate the mysterious elder with their name.

He didn’t believe the elder wouldn’t fear the Xiahou Family.

”What is the Xiahou Family? Just a mundane family. If I want to destroy it, it’s just a matter of a thought,” the mysterious elder couldn’t help but sneer, his expression filled with utmost disdain.

”Presumptuous! Who gave you the courage to say such things?” Xiahou Zong’s face turned extremely grim, his entire being emanating a terrifying murderous aura.

It was well known that their Xiahou Family was one of the strongest families of the First Class Dynasty, the Red Flame Dynasty, having produced several Immortal powerhouses throughout history.

Even an Immortal at the Divine Mansion Realm wouldn’t dare mess with the Xiahou Family.

Yet, the mysterious elder dared to utter such foolish and ignorant words.

This was simply overestimating himself.

”Noisy.” At this moment, the mysterious elder’s fingers emitted another purple divine light, like a sharp divine arrow, whistling towards Xiahou Zong.

”Humph! Killing me isn’t that easy. Since you like to meddle, let me send you all on your way today,” Xiahou Zong sneered, unleashing all his power towards the purple divine light.

A loud sputtering noise erupted.

However, in the next moment, something unexpected happened.

The power bursting from Xiahou Zong’s body was easily penetrated by the purple divine light like paper, unable to withstand it.

”No, could this be... mana? You, you are an Immortal,” Xiahou Zong’s smile froze instantly, replaced by overwhelming shock and incredulity, as if he’d witnessed the most terrifying thing in the world.

He had foolishly provoked an Immortal.

Ah!

The next instant, a ghastly scream echoed above Dragon Elephant Peak, chilling the spine.

Xiahou Zong’s body was half-blown apart by the purple divine light, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

Before dying, his eyes were wide open, filled with sheer terror and regret.

If he had known earlier that the mysterious elder was an Immortal, he wouldn’t have dared offend him, even with a hundred lives.

Alas, even if he regrets it now, it’s already too late.

”An Immortal, is he an Immortal?”

”No, it’s impossible. How could an Immortal appear in the War King Hall and secretly protect Ye Chen’s adoptive father and mother?” The experts of Profound Sword Peak stood frozen, as if struck by the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, unable to accept the reality before them.

”Spare me, Immortal.” Duanmu Xi, the Seventh Elder of Profound Sword Peak, was utterly terrified and kept begging the mysterious elder for mercy.

Swish, swish, swish.

However, the next moment, brilliant purple divine lights shot from the mysterious elder’s fingertips, effortlessly piercing through Duanmu Xi and the others’ heads.

”An Immortal powerhouse? The benefactor is actually an Immortal powerhouse.”

”Heavens! Am I dreaming?” Ye Ming and Xiao Hui’s mouths gaped wide, as if they could swallow ten buns.

Although they knew the mysterious elder’s strength was formidable, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to break into the Duanmu Family’s Celestial Prison to rescue them.

Yet they never imagined that the mysterious elder was a supreme Immortal powerhouse.

In front of him, even a Celestial Spirit Realm expert was no different from an ant.

”You two should continue to stay in this palace. With us here, no one can harm you.” The mysterious elder said calmly.

”Thank you, benefactor, for saving us.” Ye Ming and Xiao Hui’s eyes were full of deep gratitude.

This was already the second time they were saved by the mysterious elder.

Without him, they would undoubtedly have died today.

”If you want to thank someone, thank Ye Chen. We only saved you for his sake. As for other matters, we don’t care to interfere.” At this moment, a girl in black with a black veil spoke coldly.

”Could it be that they know Chen’er’s true identity?” Ye Ming’s body slightly trembled, unable to help but speculate inwardly.

Ye Chen’s true identity is the direct descendant of the Ye Clan of the Divine Spirit Family.

So, having an Immortal powerhouse come to assist him is not unusual.

”Heibo, let’s go.” The next moment, the girl in black vanished from her previous spot in a flash.

”You two must not wander around recklessly, or we won’t save you again next time.” After leaving this remark, the mysterious elder also turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the Ancient Forest ahead.

”Alas! It seems the Ouyang Family cannot escape this calamity.” Ye Ming couldn’t help but sigh.

He wanted to help the Ouyang Family, but he simply didn’t have the strength.

He might be killed before even leaving Dragon Elephant Peak.

As for the mysterious elder, this Immortal powerhouse, although he could easily save the Ouyang Family.

It seems he doesn’t care to meddle in such matters.

The fact that they saved Ye Chen’s adoptive father and mother is already a great favor.

So this time, the Ouyang Family must rely on themselves for survival.

”Girl, could it be that our son-in-law has truly died in the Immortal Secret Realm?” In a dense part of the Ancient Forest on Dragon Elephant Peak, the mysterious elder stood above a large tree, frowning as he spoke to the girl in black beside him.

”Hmph! That useless waste, dead is dead! I had advised him not to enter that Immortal Secret Realm, but he insisted stubbornly! Who else is to blame for his death?” The girl in black said coldly, exhibiting a sense of bitter disappointment.

In fact, she was utterly disillusioned with Ye Chen.

This useless waste, as a direct descendant of the Ye Clan of the Divine Spirit Family, couldn’t even awaken his bloodline, let alone protect his adoptive father and mother.

This time, had they not intervened to save, his adoptive father and mother would undoubtedly be dead.

And she once even dreamed that this useless waste could help her lady take revenge for the extermination of her clan.

It’s truly ridiculous.

This useless waste of a son-in-law couldn’t even defeat her; any random Immortal powerhouse could easily crush him.

With what could he help her lady?

”If he has truly perished in the Immortal Secret Realm, it might not be a bad thing for the young lady. Having such a fiancé is indeed a misfortune.” The mysterious elder couldn’t help but lament, feeling deep pity for his lady.

After all, his lady is the proud daughter of the heavens among the Six Great Sacred Lands!

To have unfortunate luck with such a useless fiancé like Ye Chen is truly bad luck passed down through eight generations.

If Ye Chen truly perished in the Immortal Secret Realm, then the engagement with his lady would naturally be nullified.

By then, their lady would be free.
