Ye Rou always had trouble expressing her feelings for Ye Chen. No matter what happened, she was willing to always stay silently by his side, just like back then when his ridian channels were completely severed.
It had been more than ten years. The bond they shared throughout the years was as deep as still water.
Ye Chen smiled and headed toward Ye Rou’s direction.
Ye Rou sensed the magnificent Celestial Chi oozing from Ye Chen’s body and she was astounded. It had only been close to two weeks since they last t and Ye Chen had improved his cultivation base trendously again. He was close to the boundary of Mystique Venerable Rank.
Ye Chen sensed a gentle energy from Ye Rou. It was the sort of energy that was able to calm a beating heart. He was not sure if it was just him, but he felt very comfortable as he was at ease. Whenever he was together with Little Rou, he found himself in a very relaxed mood without a hint of worry.
“Little Rou, don’t you want to just get out of here for good? Return to Xiwu Ye Clan. Why bother protecting the Scarlet Fla Sect?” Ye Chen asked as he stole a glance at the mbers of the Scarlet Fla Sect.
Ye Rou mustered a smile and shook her head. There was a hint of delight in her eyes but there was also a little sense of stubbornness. She was willingly risking her life to catch up to Ye Chen. She had entered the forbidden Mystique Moon zone of the Scarlet Fla Sect and trained fervently every day. She could not just give up halfway through.
“Since you insist on staying, then there’s nothing I can do.” Ye Chen shrugged. Ye Rou may seem gentle and quiet but she was also a very opinionated lady.
“Big Brother Ye Chen, I’m just glad you returned safely.” Ye Chen probably could not fathom how happy Ye Rou was at this mont.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.” Suddenly, dozens of figures appeared atop the mountain of the Scarlet Fla Sect. They were Mystique Venerable Rank and Ye Zong was one of the mbers among them.
When Ye Zong saw Ye Yan being beaten senseless, he quickly beckoned to Ye Chen, “Please hold back!” He was horrified. He was aware of Ye Yan’s level. He could not believe that a re five to six-year-old child like Little Wingsy was able to hand Ye Yan such a savage beatdown.
Ye Chen thought for a mont. Ye Zong was Little Rou’s father. It was only right to show him a little respect so he called out to Little Wingsy, “Little Wingsy, stop.”
“Oh.” Little Wingsy grumpily returned to Ye Chen’s side. It had been so long since he had enjoyed a good fight and yet, he had to stop before he even really got started.
Ye Yan was covered in bruises and her face was a swollen ss. To receive a brutal beatdown from a five to six-year-old little toddler in front of the young clan mbers, this was certainly a stain on her pride that was not going to be wiped off so easily. She glared venomously at Ye Chen and Little Wingsy. She wanted to chew off their flesh and drink their very blood.
Ye Chen paid no mind to Ye Yan.
Ye Yan was far older than he was. It would be difficult for her to further advance her cultivation base and she would soon reach her peak and grow old. As for Ye Chen, he was at his pri age and his cultivation was improving at a trendous pace. Within a short ti, he was going to surpass Ye Yan and advance into a realm far beyond Ye Yan’s imaginations. He had already faced a Boundless Stage master before, why would he worry about a Mystique Venerable Rank?
Several Mystique Venerable Rank fighters went to give Ye Yan a hand and they stared daggers at Ye Chen.
“To bring harm to the Grand Supre Elder of our Scarlet Fla Sect, how arrogant can you be!”
“For the Grand Supre Elder to receive such treatnt within her Sect, this is a great insult to my Scarlet Fla Sect. Sect leader, give the word and I’ll kill this man myself!” The group of Mystique Venerable Rank fighters all looked to Ye Zong for permission to kill and were behaving very emotionally.
Ye Zong only frowned and looked at Little Rou. After exiting from the forbidden Mystique moon zone, she was now the hope of the Scarlet Fla Sect. If the Scarlet Fla Sect tried to land a hand on Ye Chen, Little Rou just might leave the Scarlet Fla Sect without a second thought. She understood where Little Rou was coming from. However, it was also difficult for him to appease the Mystique Venerable Rank elder’s anger.
“Arrogant? Is there anyone more arrogant than your so-called Grand Supre Elder? Also, it was this old hag who started it, who’s blaming who now? If you want to fight, co at , I’m right here waiting for you!” Ye Chen stepped forward and glared at the Mystique Venerable Rank fighters.
Ye Rou was about to speak up for Ye Chen when Ye Chen stopped her. Ye Chen smiled faintly at Ye Rou. “These people can’t do anything to !”
Even when facing so many Mystique Venerable Rank fighters, Ye Chen remained calm as still water. Ye Zong was an experienced fighter and could tell that Ye Chen was not at all afraid of the Scarlet Fla Sect. He sighed. It seed like the Scarlet Fla Sect no longer posed any threat whatsoever to Ye Chen. He gestured for the other elders to stand down. “This matter ends here, no need to keep pushing it.”
“Sect leader, are we just going to let this slide?”
“That’s right, sect leader. Our esteed Grand Supre Elder of the Scarlet Fla Sect was injured right in front of us. If the sect leader doesn’t seek to settle this matter, what would happen to the pride of the sect if word of this gets out?”
The group of elders was bewildered. They were so frustrated it looked like their mustache was about to flip right off their lips.
Ye Chen snorted in response to Ye Zong’s order. Ye Chen was not an unreasonable man. He only let Little Wingsy to hit Ye Yan because the old hag was too despicable. He would not be concerned in the least if the Scarlet Fla Sect wanted to escalate the matter. Since Ye Zong wanted to take a step back, he would not further pursue this matter as well. After all, Ye Zong was Little Rou’s father.
The elders of the Scarlet Fla Sect were upset when they were ordered by Ye Zong to stand down. They each glared at Ye Chen with hatred in their eyes.
Just as they were wrapping it up, an overwhelming energy ca down on them. Ye Zong and the others instantly sensed a terrifying suppression, this was Godly Venerable Rank energy!
“Mountain-shielding Formation, activate!” Ye Zong shouted. His face turned pale. A torrent of wind appeared atop the Scarlet Fla Sect mountain. Tens of thousands of longswords danced in the air, each of these longswords was a Tier One or Two spirit artifact. There were tens of thousands of such Tier One to Two spirit artifacts. It was already a great burden for the Scarlet Fla Sect to cast such a formation.
The apprentices of the Scarlet Fla Sect looked above them and saw two figures up in the air. The two figures looked down on the Scarlet Fla Sect, a terrifying aura radiated from them.
Godly Venerable Rank masters!
Two Godly Venerable masters ca to the Scarlet Fla Sect! Ye Zong’s eyebrow twitched involuntarily as he felt a chill in his heart. Have they finally co?
“Brother Zong, you’re fully capable of massacring them before they had ti to form the Mountain-shielding Formation. Why did you not do so?” One of the Godly Venerable Rank masters smiled faintly.
The man’s voice sounded a little familiar. Ye Chen raised his head to take a closer look. The man was none but Fu Yu and he narrowed his eyes. To think that even the Tribunal Council would be involved.
Ye Chen knew that after the House of Storms would make their way to the Scarlet Fla Sect after the closing of the Soul Pagoda. Knowing that, he quickly made his way here before the House of Storms could get here. Only, he did not expect that they would arrive so quickly. Even Fu Yu made his appearance as well.
Zong Chengtian answered coolly, “The Scarlet Fla Sect thinks that they could oppose my House of Storms with the Mountain-shielding Formation. I want them to know that the Mountain-shielding Formation is insignificant garbage, I can easily destroy it! The Scarlet Fla Sect used to have a stronger Mountain-shielding Formation, all the swords inside the formation were Tier Eight spirit artifacts. However, hundreds of years ago, the formation was destroyed and the spirit artifacts were robbed. Now, all that remains is a barely scrambled together, useless formation. If they expect it to stop my House of Storms, they’ve greatly underestimated us.”
The two Godly Venerable Rank masters were chatting casually and they barely took the mbers of the Scarlet Fla Sect seriously. Their deep, low voices echoed around the mountain region. So of the apprentices of lower cultivation bases felt their eardrums shattered as fresh blood trickled down from their ears.
They were all astounded, just the re pressure was enough to make them feel out of breath. It was difficult or them to even walk, was this the absolute might of a Godly Venerable Rank master?
Ye Rou mustered the strength to raise her head. Although she was no match for Godly Venerable Rank masters, she could not back down so easily.
“Brother Ye Chen, you have to get out of here. The lord of the House of Storms won’t let you get away so easily if he sees you.” Ye Rou frantically pulled at Ye Chen’s arm.
“It’s alright.” Ye Chen comforted Little Rou and smiled faintly.
Little Rou was surprised when she saw Ye Chen maintain his cool poise. She could not understand it. How was Ye Chen able to remain so calm before such powerful enemies?
The Godly Venerable Rank fighters hardly considered the Scarlet Fla Sect as a worthy opponent. Ye Zong felt his sword-hand beco clammy with sweat. The Mountain-shielding Formation was his final crutch. He was not even sure if the Mountain-shielding Formation was enough to stop the Godly Venerable Rank masters.
The Scarlet Fla Sect was the foundation of his ancestry, how could he just abandon it? As the sect leader of the Scarlet Fla Sect, it was his duty to stay here. He looked at Ye Rou and said grimly, “I’ve already sent several descendants away from the Scarlet Fla Sect. Ye Rou, you have to go with Ye Chen. Even if the Scarlet Fla Sect crumbles, at least we’d be able to preserve the bloodline of the Central Empire Ye Clan.”
Ye Rou defiantly shook her head but no words ca out of her mouth. Her mother treated her kindly. Even though she was not close with her father, they still shared a thick bond. How could she just walk away?
Ye Chen sighed. He understood how Little Rou felt. She would not change her decision after having made up her mind. No matter what happened from here on, he would protect Little Rou. Even though he had no affinity for the Scarlet Fla Sect, they were still part of the Ye ancestry! It would not be right to let their bloodline end here.
“Lord Zong, there may have been so misunderstanding between our humble house and the House of Storms. Please have so understanding and forgive the Scarlet Fla Sect.” Ye Zong went on his knees and asked for rcy.
“Misunderstanding? My son Zong Yi was wounded gravely right here at the Scarlet Fla Sect. Is this so sort of misunderstanding too?” Zong Chengtian rebuked coldly.
“Lord Zong, it certainly is a misunderstanding. The one who wounded the young lord Zong Yi doesn’t belong to the Scarlet Fla Sect. It was him! This man here!” Ye Ming suddenly leaped up in the air and pointed at Ye Chen. She was already scared out of her wits, facing a Godly Venerable Rank master. At Heavenly Venerable Rank, she was just an ant before the Godly Venerable Rank master.
Zong Chengtian’s fierce gaze turned to Ye Chen, his voice was heavy. “Sect leader Ye, is this true?”
Ye Zong turned to Ye Chen, then to Little Rou, he shook his head. “Lord Zong, Zong Yi was wounded in an accident during the tournant. The mbers of each sect can bear witness to it. It has nothing to do with the young man. Please have so rcy, Lord Zong.”
Ye Chen was stunned when he heard Ye Zong. At such a crucial mont, Ye Zong showed that he still had so kindness in his heart and did not expose him. No matter what his reasoning for doing so was, Ye Chen found himself having a better impression on Ye Zong’s character.
“Hmmph, an accident during the tournant, that’s one way to put it!” Zong Chengtian belted furiously. An invisible force slamd heavily on Ye Zong’s chest as if he was struck by a hamr. Ye Zong stumbled several steps backward and coughed out a mouthful of fresh blood.
