Supreme Lord of Towers

”What? Ye Chen, do you even know what you’re saying?” In the great hall, after hearing Ye Chen’s words, Zhu’er immediately looked extremely unpleasant.

One must know, Ye Chen had only just stepped into the Divine Mansion Realm, his strength was really too weak.

If he rashly went to execute the demon-slaying mission, his life would be in constant danger.

After all, among the Outer Realm Demon Race, there were many existences with incredibly powerful bloodlines, enough to crush Human Race cultivators of the same realm.

And Ye Chen, who couldn’t even awaken his bloodline, was simply no match against these Outer Realm Demons.

Zhu’er wanted to accompany Ye Chen to execute the demon-slaying mission to ensure his safety.

But he didn’t appreciate the gesture.

This really made her feel like her kindness was being bitten back by a dog.

”Ye Chen, you’ve never seen the Outer Realm Demon Race, you don’t know how terrifying they are. The girl wants to go with you, it’s for your own good! Don’t refuse anymore, if anything happens to you, how will we explain it to the lady?” Beside her, Hei Bo’s eyebrows couldn’t help but knit tightly together, his expression extremely grave as he spoke.

Like Zhu’er, he had promised Shangguan Zitong to stay by Ye Chen’s side to protect him.

If anything happened to Ye Chen, they wouldn’t be able to face Shangguan Zitong.

”Chen’er, our benefactor means well, just agree with her!” Even Ye Chen’s adoptive mother, Xiao Hui, couldn’t help but speak up.

In fact, she was also worried about Ye Chen’s safety.

After all, the enemy Ye Chen was about to face was the Outer Realm Demon Race!

They were not only naturally cruel but also terrifyingly powerful, even capable of killing immortal experts of the Divine Mansion Realm.

If Zhu’er, a genius with an awakened Black Simurgh Bloodline, could be by Ye Chen’s side to protect him, she would be much more at ease.

”Since that’s the case, then you can come with me. As for Hei Bo, you stay here to protect my adoptive father and mother,” Ye Chen nodded and said.

Although, in the territory of Overlord Body Peak, theoretically no one would dare harm his adoptive parents.

But to be safe, Ye Chen still planned to have Hei Bo stay behind.

Don’t be fooled by Hei Bo being just an old servant beside Shangguan Zitong, his strength was unfathomable, likely even stronger than Zhu’er.

Besides the Profound Pill True Master, there should be no one able to trouble Hei Bo.

”Ye Chen, don’t worry, unless I die, no one can harm your adoptive parents.” Hei Bo patted his chest and said, his tone extremely firm.

”Chen’er, this is Overlord Body Peak; no one dares to lay a finger on us, so don’t worry about us. Haha, your adoptive mother has already cooked your favorite dish, tonight the two of us will have a good drink,” Ye Ming laughed and said.

”Mm!” The corners of Ye Chen’s mouth couldn’t help but curl into a smile.

It had been a long time since he had a meal with his adoptive parents; tonight, he must accompany them well.

For him, family was the most important.

The reason he struggled to become stronger was to have the ability to protect his loved ones and friends.

That evening, Ye Chen and his group gathered around the dining table, began to indulge themselves in the meal.

Even Ouyang Xue and Ye Hao were called over by Ye Chen.

After not seeing them for four months, both Ouyang Xue and Ye Hao’s strength had successfully stepped into the Celestial Spirit Realm, much stronger than when they were at the Celestial Flame Academy.

This was mainly because Ye Chen had bought them a large number of elixirs that could enhance cultivation.

Unfortunately, the bloodlines and martial arts talents of Ouyang Xue and Ye Hao were quite ordinary; relying solely on elixirs, it was difficult to become Divine Mansion Realm immortals.

Unless one day, Ye Chen finds a way to enhance their bloodlines and martial arts talents.

However, having received the Supreme Human Emperor’s legacy, Ye Chen believed that one day he could help Ouyang Xue and Ye Hao change their fate.

”Teacher Ouyang, rest assured, I’ll soon avenge your Ouyang Family’s great enmity,” after a few rounds of drinks, Ye Chen suddenly patted his chest and said to Ouyang Xue, with frighteningly cold light bursting from his eyes.

Nowadays, his strength had undergone a complete transformation, and even if it was the ancestor of the Xiahou Clan, Xiahou Dian, he was absolutely confident he could kill him.

So after completing the demon-slaying mission and returning, he would settle this score with Xiahou Dian.

Since the Xiahou family dared to annihilate Ouyang Xue’s entire family.

Then Ye Chen, at that time, would repay them in their own coin.

”Ye Chen, you don’t need to rush this, Xiahou Dian’s cultivation has already reached the late Divine Mansion Realm, and he’s also a senior steward of Azure Sky Peak, you can’t compete with him right now, you can wait and plan for the future,” Ouyang Xue couldn’t help but feel a warm current in her heart, softly said to Ye Chen.

In fact, she also wanted to immediately kill Xiahou Dian to avenge the thousands of clan members of the Ouyang family.

However, Xiahou Dian’s strength was simply too overwhelming.

If Ye Chen impulsively sought revenge now, it wouldn’t be effective, and instead would allow Xiahou Dian to seize the opportunity.

She couldn’t bear to see Ye Chen die at the hands of Xiahou Dian.

After all, Ye Chen was her only reliance in this world; if Ye Chen fell, what would she do then?

”A mere Xiahou Dian, I don’t regard him at all. I can crush him whenever I want,” Ye Chen said coldly, his expression full of disdain.

Now, he absolutely had the right to say such words.

”Sigh! I originally thought our groom would become a bit more restrained after meeting our miss, but I didn’t expect him to still be so ignorant and conceited! How could Xiahou Dian’s strength be something he could contend with now? Even I can’t kill him so easily,” Zhu’er couldn’t help but sigh in her heart.

She had already investigated Xiahou Dian’s background.

The opponent had joined the Azure Sky Immortal Sect for over two hundred years, although his cultivation remained stuck at the late Divine Mansion Realm, he wasn’t someone an ordinary Divine Mansion Realm cultivator could oppose.

Even Zhu’er had no absolute confidence in killing him, let alone Ye Chen.

So Ye Chen’s current desire to avenge the Ouyang family was nothing but wishful thinking.

And yet Ye Chen continued to be overly self-satisfied, truly lacking self-awareness.

Time flew by.

Before you knew it, the next day had arrived.

Early in the morning, Ye Chen bade farewell to his adoptive father and mother, and, taking Zhu’er with him, flew rapidly towards a towering peak at Azure Sky Immortal Sect.

This peak was called Demon Extermination Peak, on which a Task Hall was built.

Azure Sky Immortal Sect disciples wishing to undertake tasks must first go to this Task Hall to accept the tasks.

And Ye Chen, naturally, was going to accept the demon-slaying mission.
