Supreme Lord of Towers

”What? Could it be that Lord Ye Chen’s foster parents have already fallen into the hands of Tuoba Xiong and his people? No wonder Lord Ye Chen is so furious.” In the high sky, Jin Kun’s pupils suddenly contracted sharply, and his face turned extremely ugly.

He finally understood why Ye Chen was so angry just now.

It turned out that his foster parents were very likely already captured by Tuoba Xiong and Xiahou Dian’s men.

”Ninth Elder, let me out, I want to slay this guy.” A terrifying cold light erupted from Ye Chen’s eyes, and the way he looked at Lu Ping was like looking at a dead man.

He could naturally see that Lu Ping and Xiahou Dian were partners.

The extermination of the Ouyang Family was inevitably related to the two of them.

And now, Lu Ping was directly using the lives of his foster parents and Ouyang Xue to threaten him.

This was simply unforgivable.

Buzz!

At this moment, a piece of black crystal stone on Jin Kun suddenly emitted a brilliant light.

Immediately afterward, the voice of the mysterious person, Profound Spirit, resounded in his mind.

This black crystal stone, known as the Communication Divine Stone, was incredibly expensive and usually only affordable by Profound Pill cultivators.

Its primary function was for communication.

Even across immense distances, the Communication Divine Stone can be used to convey information to others.

”Haha, that’s great, Ye Chen, your foster parents are fine, Lord Profound Spirit has already taken them away.” Jin Kun said with extreme joy.

This was the information mysteriously conveyed to him by Profound Spirit.

”That’s good, that’s good.” Ye Chen couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief, and the stone weighing on his heart instantly fell to the ground.

”Ye Chen, are you deaf? Get out here right now for a fight, or I’ll immediately have your foster parents killed.” Lu Ping evidently didn’t yet know that Ye Chen’s foster parents had been rescued and thus threatened Ye Chen again, his tone extremely cold.

”Disciple, you’re cultivating that body secret technique, so you can’t use your internal power rashly, or you’ll risk going berserk. Crushing this ant can be done anytime, there’s no need to rush.” Tuoba Xiong said with a frown.

To ensure his disciple Lu Ping would take first place in the Outer Sect Tournament twenty days later, Tuoba Xiong had spared no effort, even teaching him a terrifying body secret technique.

However, while cultivating this body secret technique, one must not recklessly use internal power, or there’s a very real chance of dying from going berserk.

Therefore, today Lu Ping absolutely could not fight Ye Chen.

Originally, he had intended to crush Ye Chen, that ant, on behalf of Lu Ping.

Unexpectedly, Jin Kun had concealed the Golden Emperor Bell, an upper grade treasure, and even he found it difficult to break through its defense in a short time.

”Master, if we let this trash go today, I won’t be able to swallow this anger, and I must have him pay blood for blood.” Lu Ping said with extreme resentment, his facial features twisted together, looking particularly ferocious.

”I have a way to make Ye Chen, this ant, die without burial.” Xiahou Dian suddenly laughed coldly, his eyes filled with insidiousness.

”Oh! What way?” Tuoba Xiong asked curiously.

”We can use that ant’s foster parents and the remnants of the Ouyang Family to threaten him, forcing him to sign a life-and-death contract. If he doesn’t obediently comply, we’ll just kill his foster parents.” Xiahou Dian said with a sinister grin, his mouth curled with a mocking arc, as if everything was under his control.

”Hehe, that’s actually a good idea. Once this trash has signed the life-and-death contract, not even the Peak Master could save him. I don’t believe the Peak Master would break Azure Sky Immortal Sect’s longstanding rules for the sake of a lowly ant.” Sparkling light shot from Tuoba Xiong’s eyes.

Forcing Ye Chen to sign the life-and-death contract was indeed the best way to kill him.

Like Celestial Flame Academy, Azure Sky Immortal Sect also had a Life and Death Battle Platform, created by the founding ancestor of Azure Sky Immortal Sect to resolve irreconcilable grudges among its disciples.

Once the life-and-death contract was signed, the participants must ascend the Life and Death Battle Platform to duel to the death.

Even the Peak Masters of Azure Sky Immortal Sect couldn’t stop it, or they’d be violating the founding ancestor’s regulations.

Not even the Peak Masters of the major peaks could bear such accusations.

”Ant, if you don’t want to collect the corpses of your foster parents, sign this life-and-death contract.” Xiahou Dian suddenly took out a blood-red document from his storage ring, the words ”Life and Death Contract” written in bold, extravagant strokes.

He was a senior steward of the Law Enforcement Hall of Azure Sky Peak, second only to the Hall Master, so he always carried such life-and-death contracts with him.

Whenever there was an irreconcilable dispute among Azure Sky Peak’s disciples, they could come to him to sign a life-and-death contract.

However, what Xiahou Dian did not expect was that the life-and-death contract on him could still be of use at this moment.

As long as Ye Chen agrees to sign the Life and Death Contract, only a path of death awaits him.

Even if Jin Kun the Immortal came, or the Peak Master of Overlord Body Peak himself, they couldn’t save him.

”What? It’s actually a Life and Death Contract, Ye Chen, your foster father and mother have already been rescued by Master Profound Spirit. You don’t have to sign this contract with Lu Ping, otherwise you won’t be able to change it once done.” Jin Kun the Immortal’s gaze froze for a moment, quickly sending a telepathic message to Ye Chen.

He knew that Ye Chen’s origins were quite shocking.

However, the latter’s cultivation was only at the Second Layer of the Celestial Spirit Realm. Even if he had the strength to kill Zhou Long, defeating Lu Ping would be close to impossible.

After all, Lu Ping is the strongest in the Outer Sect of Overlord Body Peak and is far more powerful than Zhou Long.

Even some newly entered Immortals at the Divine Mansion Realm would find it hard to defeat him.

Therefore, once Ye Chen signed the Life and Death Contract with Lu Ping, the consequences would be unimaginable.

By then, even Master Profound Spirit would find it hard to save Ye Chen.

”Ninth Elder, rest assured, killing this trash is like slaughtering a dog.” To Jin Kun the Immortal’s surprise, Ye Chen didn’t back down at all. Instead, his eyes flashed with intense disdain, his tone overwhelmingly domineering.

If he went all out now, he was confident he could even slay a First Layer Divine Mansion Realm expert, let alone a buffoon like Lu Ping.

The other party daring to use his foster father and mother, as well as Ouyang Xue, to threaten him, was utterly unforgivable.

”Heh! You insignificant ant, you sure have quite the mouth. Since that’s the case, just sign this Life and Death Contract.” Xiahou Dian couldn’t help but sneer, and with a thought, sent the blood-red Life and Death Contract floating above Ye Chen and the others.

”Ye Chen, are you sure you don’t want to reconsider?” Jin Kun the Immortal’s face turned extremely grim, hoping fervently Ye Chen would change his mind.

”There’s nothing to reconsider, bring the Life and Death Contract in.” Ye Chen responded without hesitation.

”Sigh!” Jin Kun the Immortal couldn’t help but sigh, and with a thought, used his mana to bring in the contract, which was isolated outside by the Golden Emperor Bell.

”Ye Chen, just a drop of your blood on the Life and Death Contract will mean it’s signed. Ten days from now, you’ll ascend the Life and Death Battle Platform for a duel with Lu Ping. Do you dare or not?” Xiahou Dian sneered, his mouth filled with mockery, seemingly provoking Ye Chen on purpose.

Swish.

In the next moment, Ye Chen squeezed a drop of blood from his fingertip, letting it fall onto the Life and Death Contract, then tossed the contract into the air, sending it flying swiftly towards Lu Ping’s direction.

”Haha! Trash, you’re doomed. Ten days from now, I, Lu Ping, will definitely take your life. No one in this world can save you.” Lu Ping couldn’t help but laugh wildly, his demeanor unspeakably arrogant, looking at Ye Chen as if he were an ant he could crush at will.

”Foolish ant, you fell for it. I never said signing the Life and Death Contract would free your foster father and mother. Get ready to collect their corpses.” Nearby, Xiahou Dian said with a cruel tone, full of malicious intent.

Now that Ye Chen had signed the Life and Death Contract, there was no turning back.

Thus, Xiahou Dian saw no need to spare Ye Ming and them anymore.

”Hmph! Xiahou Dian, you ignorant mutt, you have no idea what a foolish move you’ve made. Prepare to face destruction.” Jin Kun the Immortal coldly laughed, his eyes burning with anger.

Even he didn’t expect Xiahou Dian to be so treacherous and vicious.

If it weren’t for him being a senior steward of Azure Sky Peak, Jin Kun the Immortal would have slapped him to death.

But Xiahou Dian, having offended such a significant figure as Ye Chen, would surely meet a miserable end.

One day, he will pay dearly for his stupidity.

”That old bastard deserves death. When I’m strong enough, I’ll destroy both him and the entire Xiahou Family.” Ye Chen clenched his fist tightly, swearing in his heart.

If today, the mysterious Master Profound Spirit hadn’t personally rescued his foster father and mother, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

His foster father and mother could very well have died at Xiahou Dian’s hands.

Therefore, one day, he will make Xiahou Dian pay in blood.

It’s not just for revenge for the fallen clan of Ouyang Xue, but also for his foster father and mother.

Buzz.

As Lu Ping also dripped a drop of blood onto the Life and Death Contract, a brilliant blood-red beam burst forth from it, shooting thousands of feet into the sky.

At this moment, almost all the strong members of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect were alerted.

”It’s a Life and Death Contract, someone has signed a Life and Death Contract.”

”Who could it be? The Life and Death Battle Platform hasn’t been activated for years. This will be an entertaining spectacle.” In many corners of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect, disciples were discussing excitedly, expressions filled with eager anticipation.
