Supreme Lord of Towers

Crack, crack.

In the high sky, Ye Chen’s fists clenched tightly, making an incredibly harsh noise, even his nails were digging into his flesh.

At this moment, he truly was enraged.

Before his death, Ouyang Zhong had entrusted Ouyang Xue to him, asking him to protect her well.

But now, Ouyang Xue’s face was so cruelly scarred with knife wounds, utterly disfigured.

How could this allow Ye Chen to face Ouyang Zhong’s spirit in heaven?

”Teacher Ouyang, Brother Ye Hao, who did this to you? Tell me, I will tear them to pieces!” Ye Chen’s facial features twisted together, he said through gritted teeth, his entire body exuding a terrifying killing intent, as if turning into a frenzied beast.

”Ha! Ye Chen, it was I who injured Ye Hao like this, what now? Do you, this waste, feel heartbroken?” Duanmu Shen gazed at Ye Chen with a playful look, disdain written all over his face, as if looking at a buffoon.

His strength was far inferior to Ye Chen’s.

However, with Duanmu Ying, a peak Celestial Spirit Realm expert here, he was utterly fearless.

He didn’t believe Ye Chen could harm even a hair on him.

”Brother Ye Hao held no grudges against you, why did you treat him like this?” Ye Chen’s teeth clenched tightly, he spoke with an extremely cold tone.

”Hmph! Ye Chen, this beast killed our disciple Qing’er of Profound Sword Peak, do you think he shouldn’t die?” Duanmu Shen sneered coldly.

”No, that’s not true, he killed Qing’er and framed me. Ye Chen, please avenge Qing’er, otherwise, even in death, I will not rest.” Ye Hao’s eyes turned blood red, his mouth shouting in utmost anger, his teeth almost breaking.

Duanmu Shen had cruelly killed his beloved Qing’er but instead framed him.

This behavior was truly heinous.

”Shut up, you waste, you are at death’s door and still spew lies? Do you think anyone will believe you? Ye Chen, I advise you not to meddle, whoever killed our disciple of Profound Sword Peak must be put to death, even if you are the Hall Master of War King Hall, it’s useless.” Duanmu Shen’s lips curled into a thick mockery, as if deliberately provoking Ye Chen.

Ye Chen, after all, had received an invitation to enroll in Overlord Body Peak.

Therefore, even Duanmu Ying couldn’t kill him casually; a reason had to be found first.

And if Ye Chen dared to save Ye Hao, it would undoubtedly violate the rules of Celestial Flame Academy.

By then, Duanmu Ying would have an excuse to crush him.

”Anyone related to this matter, as long as they touched my people, will die today.” Just then, Ye Chen’s cold voice suddenly echoed in the crowd’s ears, like a thunderous clap, with an overwhelmingly domineering tone.

He knew Ye Hao was not the kind of person to kill indiscriminately.

So, it was clearly Duanmu Shen framing Ye Hao.

This had undeniably touched Ye Chen’s reverse scale.

”Ha! Ye Chen, you waste, such arrogance, you really think that because you’re the Hall Master of War King Hall, you can do as you please on our Profound Sword Peak? Today, if you dare to save this ant, I’ll crush you along with him.” Duanmu Ying couldn’t help but sneer, appearing righteous and imposing.

”You venomous woman, it was you who sent Duanmu Shen to kill Qing’er, and now you self-righteously want revenge for Qing’er, how revolting you are.” Ye Hao roared.

”Insolent! Since you seek death so much, I’ll send you on your way.” Duanmu Shen’s eyes suddenly erupted with terrifying killing intent as he swung his Battle Sword viciously at Ye Hao’s head.

As long as he executed Ye Hao in front of Ye Chen, it would surely infuriate Ye Chen.

At that time, their Peak Master would have a legitimate reason to crush Ye Chen.

Puff.

Just then, a terrifying telekinesis surged out from Ye Chen’s Sea of Consciousness, forming an invisible sword of telekinesis, piercing through Duanmu Shen’s body instantly.

Ah!

A ghastly scream suddenly erupted from Duanmu Shen’s mouth, sounding hair-raisingly terrifying.

With just one blow, his internal organs shattered completely, killing him on the spot.

Before dying, his eyes widened immensely, filled with intense terror and disbelief, having no idea what had happened.

”Who was it?” Duanmu Ying’s delicate body suddenly trembled, her expression turning extremely gloomy, her entire body emanating a terrifying killing intent.

She hadn’t been paying attention to Duanmu Shen just now.

So even she didn’t know who had killed Duanmu Shen.

Hum.

Just then, a powerful telekinesis suddenly enveloped Ye Hao and Ouyang Xue, rapidly flying toward Ye Chen.

”What? It’s telekinesis; this worthless being is actually a Divine Soul Master?” Duanmu Ying’s pupils suddenly contracted, her expression shocked to the extreme.

As all this happened in the blink of an eye, by the time Duanmu Ying and her group fully reacted, Ye Hao and Ouyang Xue had already been brought before Ye Chen by that telekinetic force.

”Teacher Ouyang, Brother Ye Hao, I’m sorry, it’s my fault you’ve been dragged into this. I swear, I’ll never let anyone harm you again.” Ye Chen looked at the shocking wounds on Ouyang Xue and Ye Hao, feeling as if his heart was being cut with a knife, his eyes filled with intense anger and self-reproach.

If he hadn’t entered the Immortal Secret Realm to explore, perhaps this wouldn’t have happened.

”Master, you can’t blame yourself for this; no one could have predicted such things would happen! Besides, if you hadn’t entered the Immortal Secret Realm, your strength wouldn’t have improved this much. With your previous strength, protecting them would have been impossible; it would have been difficult even to protect yourself,” the Tower Spirit couldn’t help but comfort Ye Chen.

Whoosh whoosh.

The next moment, Ye Chen took out two elixirs from the storage ring left behind by the Carefree Wanderer and fed them to Ouyang Xue and Ye Hao.

Aside from leaving his legacy, the Carefree Wanderer also left behind some extraordinarily precious elixirs.

These elixirs were specifically meant for healing.

Fizzle fizzle.

After taking the elixirs, the wounds on Ouyang Xue and Ye Hao began to rapidly heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Soon, the wounds on Ouyang Xue’s face completely vanished without a single scar, becoming as good as new.

”Spirit Pill, could this be the legendary Spirit Pill?” Ouyang Xue’s expression was overwhelmingly excited, even suspecting she was dreaming.

It’s known that Spirit Pills, as a cultivation resource, are extremely rare in a mortal realm like the Celestial Flame Dynasty.

They are generally only found in the Immortal Realm.

Refining Spirit Pills is incredibly difficult, requiring many precious Spirit Medicines to be combined, and each one’s value is immeasurable.

Yet now, Ye Chen just casually took out two Spirit Pills.

It’s truly unbelievable.

”Teacher Ouyang, tell me, who injured you like this?” Ye Chen asked.

”It was Duanmu Ying, Ye Chen; my father was killed by this venomous woman and Xiahou Shi working together, and even our Ouyang Family was wiped out by the Xiahou Family last night,” tears welled up in Ouyang Xue’s eyes, her expression filled with anger and sorrow.

”You again, venomous woman; today, I must ensure you have no burial place,” a terrifying cold light shot out from Ye Chen’s eyes, making one’s soul tremble involuntarily.

Duanmu Ying not only conspired with Xiahou Shi to kill Ouyang Zhong but also sent people to assassinate his foster father and mother.

And now she even tortured Ouyang Xue into this state, it was simply unforgivable.

”Just with you, a worthless being?” Duanmu Ying couldn’t help but sneer, her lips full of mockery, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.

This worthless being whose cultivation had just stepped into the Celestial Spirit Realm dared to threaten to kill her, a peak Celestial Spirit Realm master. Who gave this worthless being such courage?

”Ye Chen, this venomous woman possesses twice the Qi Sea Foundation, even stronger than my father. Perhaps we should avoid the edge for now,” Ouyang Xue’s eyes showed deep concern.

In fact, she wanted to kill Duanmu Ying even more than Ye Chen, to avenge her father’s death.

However, Duanmu Ying’s strength was simply too formidable, and she truly worried that Ye Chen wasn’t her match.

Compared to revenge, Ye Chen’s safety was evidently more important.

”Teacher Ouyang, rest assured, such trash I can crush between my fingers in an instant; I simply don’t want her to die too easily, or it would be letting her off too mildly,” Ye Chen said coldly, his expression extremely disdainful.

With his current power, killing Duanmu Ying was merely child’s play.

Just with a thought, he could take Duanmu Ying’s life.

But just killing her like that would be too merciful.

After all, she had tortured Ouyang Xue until she was unrecognizable.

So, Ye Chen had to let Duanmu Ying die in utter despair and fear to avenge Ouyang Xue.

Otherwise, he could have already crushed Duanmu Ying, not letting her live until now.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh.

Just then, a large group of cultivators suddenly flew rapidly from the distant sky, soon arriving above the summit of Profound Sword Peak.

They were the experts from Celestial Flame Peak and Soul Palace.

”It’s Ye Chen; he really is still alive.”

”This worthless being truly has a big life! To return alive from the Immortal Secret Realm, but today, he won’t be so lucky. He won’t be the Hall Master of War King Hall anymore; the Master of Profound Sword Peak will probably kill him to avenge Duanmu Jie,” seeing Ye Chen, the experts couldn’t help but reveal thick sarcasm, whispering aside.
