Supreme Lord of Towers

There are currently two breakthrough methods for Ye Chen to become stronger.

One is to obtain the True Dragon Blood Crystal and elevate the Nine Dragon Dominating Body.

The other is to clear the black substance above the Profound Pill, allowing his cultivation to break through to the Golden Core Realm.

By then, he could use the Nascent Soul Pill to quickly elevate his cultivation.

After all, his martial arts realm has already reached the Ninth Layer of True Intent, and he won’t encounter any bottlenecks before stepping into the Nascent Soul Realm.

...

Not long after, Ye Chen left his residence to find Elder Bai Yuan.

He wanted to know when the people sent from the Human King Hall headquarters to pick him up would arrive.

”Ye Chen, you’re here! I happen to have some news to tell you.” In a magnificent palace, Elder Bai Yuan spoke gravely.

This gave Ye Chen an inexplicable sense of foreboding.

”Elder Bai Yuan, what news is it?” Ye Chen couldn’t help but ask!

”This news is about your father, but you might have a hard time accepting it!” Elder Bai Yuan sighed.

”What happened to my father?” Ye Chen’s body trembled suddenly, his face turning ashen.

Previously, Elder Bai Yuan had promised Ye Chen that he would use the Human King Hall’s connections to investigate his father’s whereabouts.

He didn’t expect that there would be news so soon!

But judging from Elder Bai Yuan’s expression and tone, this must be bad news.

”Alas! Our informants placed within the Ye Clan have told me that your father was captured by the Ye Clan’s strongmen more than a decade ago.

Moreover, his cultivation was abolished, and he was imprisoned in the Celestial Prison, enduring daily torture.” Elder Bai Yuan’s brow furrowed deeply, as he spoke to Ye Chen.

Even he hadn’t expected Ye Chen’s father to meet such a tragic end.

Back then, Ye Chen’s father was one of the top prodigies in the Southern Heaven Domain, with a Phoenix Race bloodline that had reached the second grade of the Celestial Level.

Even the Ye Clan considered him a candidate for future patriarchal training.

But no one expected that the Ye Clan would cripple his cultivation in the end.

This truly makes one sigh.

”Damn it! Truly damn it! Ye Clan, I swear, one day, I will erase you from this world.” Ye Chen’s eyes instantly became blood-red, filled with rage that almost crushed his teeth.

Although his father hadn’t been killed by the Ye Clan’s strongmen, as he had imagined.

Still, having his cultivation abolished and being imprisoned in the Celestial Prison, enduring daily torture.

This is countless times more painful than being directly killed.

At this moment, Ye Chen was truly enraged.

If it weren’t for his cultivation being too weak, he would surely charge into the Ye Clan, making those strongmen of the Ye Clan pay in blood.

”Ye Chen, I can understand your feelings, but don’t act impulsively. Currently, you are far from being a match for the Ye Clan. If you go to settle accounts now, you’re surely seeking your own death.

Preserve the green hills; you won’t worry about firewood. Wait until you’re strong enough, and then seek revenge! Otherwise, you won’t rescue your father and will only lose your life in vain.” Elder Bai Yuan’s expression was exceedingly solemn as he comforted Ye Chen.

He knew that once he shared this news with Ye Chen, it would undoubtedly infuriate him.

However, he had no choice but to tell him.

After all, paper can’t wrap up a fire; he could only hide it from Ye Chen temporarily, not forever.

Rather than holding back, it was better to tell him sooner, giving him more motivation to grow stronger!

”Don’t worry, Elder Bai Yuan, I won’t act recklessly! What truly worries me is that the beasts of the Ye Clan might kill my father and grandfather at any time.” Ye Chen gritted his teeth, his fists clenched tightly, making a harsh cracking sound.

Yes!

He could wait until he was stronger before seeking vengeance against the Ye Clan.

He had received the Supreme Human Emperor’s legacy; given enough time, he would surely wipe out the Ye Clan.

However, his father and grandfather had fallen into the Ye Clan’s hands; there was no telling when they might be killed by the Ye Clan.

This was what truly worried him.

If by the time he had the power to destroy the Ye Clan, his father and grandfather had already been killed by their strongmen, what would be the point of it all!

”Ye Chen, if the Ye Clan truly wanted to kill your father and grandfather, they would have done so already. Why wait until now!

So, they should be temporarily safe.

If you’re truly worried about them, focus on growing stronger and strive to rescue them as soon as possible.

Moreover, our informants within the Ye Clan will constantly report any news to us.

If they are indeed in danger, our Human King Hall will surely intervene to stop it.” Elder Bai Yuan consoled Ye Chen.

”Then, couldn’t your Human King Hall help rescue my father and grandfather now?” Ye Chen asked seriously.

The Human King Hall is the most powerful force in the Yellow Cloud World, even the Five Great Sacred Lands are wary of them.

If the high-ranking members of the Human King Hall were willing to help Ye Chen.

He couldn’t believe they wouldn’t be able to rescue his father and grandfather.

”Ye Chen! Indeed, we in the Human King Hall are stronger than the Ye Clan, but behind the Ye Clan, there’s a Divine Spirit from the Phoenix Race supporting them.

Unless you can demonstrate immense value, the high-ups in the Human King Hall won’t take such a risk for you, do you understand?” Elder Bai Yuan couldn’t help but sigh.

Sometimes, reality is so cruel.

Even the Human King Hall can’t casually offend a Divine Spirit Family for a mere disciple.

Unless this disciple holds significant value to the Human King Hall.

And although Ye Chen’s talent is outstanding, even likely having awakened a special physique.

In the Human King Hall headquarters, he’s not the only one with a special physique.

Therefore, he hasn’t yet excelled to a degree where the high-ranking officials of the Human King Hall would personally intervene to rescue his father and grandfather.

”I understand!” Ye Chen nodded.

It seems that after entering the Human King Hall headquarters, he can’t afford to keep a low profile as before.

He must display enormous potential to gain important attention from the high-ups of the Human King Hall.

Only then can he possibly rely on the Human King Hall to protect his father and grandfather.

”Strength! Ultimately, it’s all about strength! Only with enough power will someone be willing to help you, otherwise, it’s all futile.” Ye Chen clenched his fists tightly, thinking quietly.

At this moment, he understood profoundly the importance of strength once again.
