Supreme Lord of Towers

”This... .” Inside the palace, Xiahou Dian’s expression suddenly turned extremely ugly, yet he dared not speak out against Tuoba Xiong.

Although he also desperately wanted that Treasure Map.

But, if it weren’t for Tuoba Xiong bribing Gongyang Tai this time, there was absolutely no way his men could infiltrate Dragon Elephant Peak to capture Ouyang Xue.

Moreover, Tuoba Xiong, whether in strength or background, was far more powerful than Xiahou Dian.

So, even if he really wanted to monopolize that Treasure Map, Xiahou Dian could only accept it.

”What? Steward Xiahou, do you have any objections?” A cold gleam shot from Tuoba Xiong’s eyes as he coldly said to Xiahou Dian.

Boom!

The next moment, an incredibly terrifying pressure bore down on Xiahou Dian, causing his Soul to tremble uncontrollably, as if he was being stared at by an Ancient Fierce Beast.

”No, I have no objections. I am willing to offer that Treasure Map to Elder Tuoba, but I hope Elder Tuoba can help me completely eliminate that little beast Ye Chen as well,” Xiahou Dian said with a trembling voice.

”Hmph! Rest assured, Ye Chen, this waste, doesn’t have many days left to live.” Tuoba Xiong sneered coldly.

Buzz!

At this moment, the Communication Crystal Stone on Tuoba Xiong’s body suddenly burst into a dazzling golden glow.

Someone had sent him an extremely urgent message.

”Haha, it seems your men have already captured that bitch Ouyang Xue.” Tuoba Xiong couldn’t help but laugh, his expression filled with extreme excitement.

As long as Ouyang Xue was captured, he had a hundred ways to force the whereabouts of the Treasure Map out of her.

If Ouyang Xue dared to refuse, he would surely make her wish she were dead.

Whoosh!

The next moment, Tuoba Xiong took out the Communication Crystal Stone on him and began checking its contents.

However, a moment later, the smile at the corner of Tuoba Xiong’s mouth froze completely, his expression turned incomparably dark, as if it was about to drip water.

”Elder Tuoba, what’s the matter?” Xiahou Dian beside him couldn’t help but frown tightly, a feeling of unease bubbling in his heart.

”Damn it, truly damn it, your men are all a bunch of trash, they can’t even handle an old man.” Tuoba Xiong’s mouth suddenly erupted with an indescribable angry roar, his facial features twisted, appearing particularly ferocious.

The urgent message he received was from Gongyang Tai, the Eighth Elder of Overlord Body Peak.

Gongyang Tai had relayed every detail to him about Ouyang Xue being rescued by Hei Bo.

This instantly sent him into a rage.

No matter how he calculated, he hadn’t accounted for Hei Bo being hidden in Dragon Elephant Peak all along and having already stepped into the Profound Pill Realm.

The assassins Xiahou Dian sent out stood no chance against him.

As a result, the plan to capture Ouyang Xue had completely fallen through.

This also meant he could not get that Treasure Map for the time being.

”What? How could this happen?” Xiahou Dian’s pupils suddenly contracted, his face turned uglier than a dead man, as if he had swallowed a heap of dead flies.

He initially believed that the four subordinates he sent would undoubtedly complete their task with ease.

After all, Ye Chen’s adoptive father, adoptive mother, and Ouyang Xue were all too weak, having no ability to fight back against them.

Yet, unexpectedly, an outsider like Hei Bo disrupted all his plans.

”Xiahou Dian, one of your men has fallen into the hands of that old man. If this matter is exposed, do not point the finger at me, or I assure you, you will die a miserable death,” Tuoba Xiong’s eyes suddenly flashed with terrifying murderous intent as he coldly said to Xiahou Dian.

If Xiahou Dian really exposed him, it wouldn’t just spell trouble for him alone.

The Eighth Elder of Overlord Body Peak, Gongyang Tai, would also be implicated.

If Venerable Zi Chen discovered it was Gongyang Tai who deliberately allowed Xiahou Dian’s men to infiltrate Dragon Elephant Peak, he might even execute Gongyang Tai.

Therefore, Xiahou Dian had to shoulder all the blame alone.

Anyway, being the Steward of Azure Sky Peak, even the high-ranking members of Overlord Body Peak couldn’t move against him casually without solid evidence.

Otherwise, where would Azure Sky Peak’s dignity go?

”Elder Tuoba, rest assured, I will certainly not say a word, and even if my men are captured alive, all I need to do is deny everything,” Xiahou Dian sneered, with a look of fearlessness.

The relationship between him and his subordinates was extremely secretive, outsiders knew nothing about it.

So, even if his men did implicate him, he could claim innocence.

Without concrete evidence, even if the high-level members of Overlord Body Peak came, they couldn’t do anything to him.

”Good, very good. From today onwards, stay within Azure Sky Peak and do not leave. Even if that waste Ye Chen knew about this, he couldn’t do a thing to you!” Tuoba Xiong nodded.

”Ha! That’s obvious, I don’t believe Ye Chen, that waste, would dare come to Azure Sky Peak looking for trouble,” Xiahou Dian couldn’t help but chuckle, his mouth filled with a thick sneer.

Azure Sky Peak, as the most powerful faction of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect, would absolutely not allow the elite of other peaks to cause disturbances arbitrarily.

If Ye Chen really dared to come to Azure Sky Peak to hold him accountable, it would be nothing short of courting humiliation.

…

”Ye Hao, you must hold on, Chen’er will be back soon.” At this moment, in Ye Chen’s residence, Ye Ming and Xiao Hui’s expressions were extremely anxious as they tightly grasped Ye Hao’s hand.

Ye Hao was now hanging by a thread, and if it weren’t for Hei Bo continuously infusing Mana into his body to sustain his vitality, he would have surely died.

Even so, he couldn’t hold out much longer.

And Hei Bo, not allowing anyone to leave Ye Chen’s house, feared they might encounter unforeseen dangers.

So, even if they wanted to seek help from the high levels of Overlord Body Peak, it was impossible.

”Ye Chen, I beg you to come back quickly,” Ouyang Xue, on the side, tears welled up in her eyes as she continuously prayed in her heart.

Although Ye Ming had already sent a message to Ye Chen using the Communication Crystal Stone.

In spatial tunnels, messages couldn’t be received.

Thus, Ye Chen still didn’t know that Ye Hao was in trouble.

Buzz!

An hour later, dazzling colorful lights flew out from the void, descending upon a Teleportation Array Platform within the Azure Sky Immortal Sect.

Immediately, the figures of Ye Chen and Zhu’er appeared from within the lights.

They had finally returned to the Azure Sky Immortal Sect.

Almost the second Ye Chen landed on the Teleportation Array Platform, his Communication Crystal Stone burst into blinding golden light.

”An urgent message from my adoptive father.” Ye Chen’s face drastically changed, a sense of foreboding inexplicably rose in his heart.

The next moment, he pulled out the Communication Crystal Stone and quickly reviewed its contents.

The moment he read it, Ye Chen’s face instantly drained of color, looking even worse than a dead man’s.

”No! How could this happen, Brother Ye Hao, you must not be in trouble, I’m coming back to save you now.” Ye Chen’s body immediately turned into a stream of light, rapidly flying towards the direction of Dragon Elephant Peak.
