On the ancestral hall in front of them, countless soul tablets exploded one after another, turning into fragments that scattered on the ground. There were quite a few words that could still be seen.
“Bastard! Bastard!”
An old man standing at the front had a furious look on his face, “Thirty! A total of thirty elites of our Duan clan were killed in the secular world!
“There are three pseudo emperors among them. Even if this Mad Southern Ye has three heads and six arms, he can’t kill all of them, right?”
The elder released a terrifying aura, “Since when has our Duan clan suffered such casualties? Why didn’t the patriarch allow us to enter the world? Why?!”
At this moment, a streak of light shot down from the sky, enveloping everyone within. Afterwards, an old figure slowly appeared in the sky.
“Patriarch!”
Everyone kowtowed. Even the furious old man from before was no exception. He lowered his head extremely respectfully.
“Duan Cang!”
The old figure in the sky sized up everyone before saying slowly, “Without my orders, no one is to be sent to the mortal world. Otherwise, I will definitely kill them!”
Duan Cang was unwilling, “But why, patriarch?”
“Hmph!”
The Duan clan Patriarch snorted coldly, “Do you know that Old Bai was slapped to the ground the last time he entered the world?”
“Patriarch, we’ve already investigated it!”
Duan Cang said in a respectful tone, “The patriarch of the Bai clan was injured by that old lunatic 20 years ago. It has nothing to do with Mad Southern Ye. Moreover, this person has already disappeared. Do we have to be afraid of him?”
The Duan clan’s patriarch said again, “Then do you know that when Old Xiao entered the world last time, even his physical body was destroyed, and only his soul returned?”
“What? There’s such a thing?”
Everyone in the ancestral hall was shocked and their faces were filled with disbelief. They thought they had heard wrongly.
One had to know that the Xiao clan was the leader of the five ancient clans. The Xiao clan’s patriarch was the first to break through to Emperor Stage, and his strength was unfathomable. Who would have thought that he would almost die?
A thought flashed across Duan Cang’s mind, “Patriarch, could it be that those old farts in the Chinese secular world woke up early?”
“Those old bastards?”
The Duan clan’s patriarch scoffed, “They’re more afraid of death than you and me. Why would they wake up early at such a crucial time? I’m not afraid to tell you that Old Xiao’s body was destroyed by Mad Southern Ye. Even his soul was almost destroyed!”
As his voice fell, the entire ancestral hall fell into dead silence. It was as if this scene was happening within the five ancient clans.
At the Luo clan on a cliff, Luo Shuiyao, who was trapped inside, said while crying, “Grandpa San, can you let me go? I heard that the Xiao clan sent many people into the secular world to destroy the Ye family. Ye Chen saved my life. Nothing must happen to his family!”
There was a white-clothed old man standing outside with his hands behind his back. When the white-clothed old man heard this, a strange light flashed in his eyes, “Silly child, your friend’s ability has already exceeded our imagination. You don’t have to worry anymore!”
At this point, he looked into the distance and saw a mountain peak in the distance. He could sense an aura growing stronger.
A gratified smile appeared at the corner of the white-robed old man’s mouth, “Tianya, don’t blame me for not telling you about the matters of the secular world. You’re only one step away from becoming a peerless martial emperor. At this critical moment, you mustn’t disturb your cultivation by doing trivial things!
“The greed of the five ancient clans are getting bigger and bigger. They’ve been playing tricks recently. Only when you become the martial emperor will the Luo clan have a glimmer of hope!”
Two hours later, Ye Chen arrived outside a huge city under the lead of Fu Haishan and his grandson.
Looking over, the city tower was 30 meters tall. It was like a huge dragon was entrenched there, and there were many martial artists guarding the city tower.
“Mr. Ye, we’re at Qingyang City!”
Fu Haishan pointed at the city in front of him and smiled, “The Fu family is one of the top families in Qingyang City!”
‘What a dangerous pass!’
Ye Chen spread his Divine Consciousness out and saw Qingyang City leaning against the mountain. There was a huge river on the left. If this was in the secular world, it would definitely be a place where soldiers would fight for.
While he was looking around, the passersby were also looking at them. They were shocked when they saw the Golden Flame Spirit Eagle next to Ye Chen.
“It’s the Golden Flame Spirit Eagle!”
“I can tell that this Golden Flame Spirit Eagle is still in its infancy stage, but it already has the cultivation of a martial artist at Illuminating Pulse. If it’s allowed to grow to adulthood, it can reach the Master Stage!”
“How did you catch this, young man? I heard that the Golden Flame Spirit Eagle is extremely eccentric and will rather die than submit to humans.”
“…”
Countless people were gesturing at Ye Chen. Although they coveted Goldie, they recognized Fu Haishan who was next to him and dared not attack him.
Fu Haishan saw everyone’s reaction and frowned, “Sage, let’s go in!”
Ye Chen nodded lightly. Just when he was about to enter, an unkind voice came from behind him, “Don’t leave yet, brat!”
Everyone turned around and saw a young man with a stout figure riding an earth dragon over a hundred meters away. Behind him were several guards.
“It’s City Governor Zhao’s son, Zhao Kuang!”
“That kid is out of luck!”
“…”
The people who were watching from the side were shocked when they saw the person. Subsequently, they seemed to have thought of something as they looked at Ye Chen gloatingly.
Fu Haishan and his granddaughter’s expressions changed as well. When they approached Zhao Kuang, Fu Haishan immediately greeted him with a smile, “Young Master Zhao, how has your father been recently?”
“So it’s Old Fu!”
Zhao Kuang was stunned at first. Then, he glanced at Fu Qingqing lustfully before his eyes landed on Ye Chen, “Brat, I’ve taken a fancy to your Golden Flame Spirit Eagle!”
He took out a piece of origin stone and tossed it to Ye Chen as if he was chasing away a beggar. The guards behind him immediately walked towards the Golden Flame Spirit Eagle next to Ye Chen.
The Golden Flame Spirit Eagle seemed to have sensed the danger as well. Its feathers stood on end as it glared at the few of them.
Just as they were about to approach, an extremely calm voice suddenly stopped them, “Guys, I don’t think I agreed to sell it, did I?”
As his words fell, Zhao Kuang’s expression immediately turned grim, “Brat, could it be that you think it’s too little?”
Ye Chen smiled lightly, “This is something my daughter loves. I won’t sell it no matter how much you pay me!”
The Golden Flame Spirit Eagle’s gaze toward him softened after hearing that. It was forced to submit to Ye Chen earlier because of the circumstances.
“Brat, are you seeking death?”
Zhao Kuang narrowed his eyes, “Do you know who I am?”
At the same time, Fu Haishan kept winking at Ye Chen, hinting that he should just sell the eagle. After all, the person before them was the son of the Qingyang City’s City Governor. Even he dared not offend him.
“Are you deaf?”
Ye Chen said again, “I said I’m not selling!”
Zhao Kuang was instantly enraged, “Brat, you…”
Pa…
While everyone was stunned, Ye Chen took a step forward while carrying the child and slapped him hard on the face, “I’ll kill you if you dare to say another word. Do you believe that?”
