Chapter 3275: Chapter 4052: Choice!

"Not listening?"

Li Ci’s eyes flashed with a cold light as he said, "Heh, even if the Leng family is just a branch, it is an existence that no one can defy. If anyone truly wishes to throw away their life, I don’t mind stepping in to let them understand the weight of this name, which is something these ants cannot contend with!"

Lenggu and the others exchanged glances upon hearing this, seeing the shock in each other’s eyes!

The Leng family’s main branch truly has its ways!

This Li Ci is incredibly attached to his identity as a Leng family deacon, even more so than Lenggu himself!

Lenggu looked at Li Ci, a strange look flashed in his eyes. Although he dared not speak, he secretly thought, "The main family has raised quite a loyal dog!"

A powerful dog, loyal, and almost fanatically obsessed with the Leng family!

Which master wouldn’t want such a dog?

At the same time, a chill ran down Lenggu’s spine. To shape a martial artist as strong as Li Ci into this, how terrifying are the methods of the main family?

And how terrifying is the Hall Master of Emperor Abyss Palace, who is even stronger?

In the next moment, an overwhelming might suddenly erupted from Li Ci, sweeping in all directions!

The members of the Leng family’s branch, who each had their own thoughts, instantly turned pale and collapsed to the ground without any resistance!

Terrifying!

Too terrifying!

Lenggu and the others looked at Li Ci with trembling eyes. They had mentally prepared for Li Ci’s strength, yet at this moment, their very divine souls were shaken, and their blood seemed to flow in reverse!

This time, the martial artists from the Leng family’s branch who entered the Forbidden Land were all above the late-stage Heavenly God Realm!

But!

In the face of Li Ci’s aura, just his aura alone, they were suppressed like newborns...

They felt that if Li Ci wanted to take their lives, it would only be a thought away!

The same feeling also appeared among the tens of thousands of martial artists within the Forbidden Land!

Each of them broke into a cold sweat, as if they had encountered a demonic being beyond the heavens. Previously, those who still had a hint of disdain on their faces now turned ashen, their minds nearly collapsing!

At this time, Li Ci’s voice rang in everyone’s ears, "I have spoken, those who defy my orders shall be killed without mercy! Before the Leng family, your only choice is to obey!"

His tone was extremely calm, yet against the backdrop of his aura, these words carried a divine-like authority! The fear it instilled was a thousand times greater than Lenggu’s! Completely incomparable!

Why?

Because they all knew this was not the aura of someone in the late-stage Heavenly God Realm!

This Li Ci was actually a presence in the Holy Ancestor Realm!!!

In an instant, the scalps of all the martial artists in the Forbidden Land almost exploded!

Had they known a Holy Ancestor realm expert would personally descend to this Forbidden Land, they would never have come even if it meant death!

They even began to suspect they had been played...

The news of a great opportunity appearing in the Forbidden Land was likely deliberately released by the Leng family...

But, even so, what can they do about it?

Dare they go seek out the Leng family for revenge?

These originally ambitious, proud martial artists hoping to seize an opportunity in the secret realm to rise to the heavens one step at a time, now all looked like wilted eggplants, spiritless as they walked toward the direction of Lenggu and Li Ci’s voices...

After Li Ci released his aura, no one dared to think of disobedience anymore...

Of course, there is an exception, and that exception is Ye Chen.

At this moment, although Ye Chen was not heading in the direction of Lenggu, his expression was still extremely grim. He originally thought that even if the Leng family entered this Forbidden Land, they would merely be branch members, but who would have thought such a terrifying presence would come.

Moreover, the key point is, this person is exactly at the entrance of the cold pool!

In other words, if Ye Chen wants to enter the Tomb of the Destruction Venerate, he must pass through Lenggu and the others!

Yang Zixin’s pretty face turned pale, clinging tightly to Ye Chen’s arm. Though Yang Zixin was protected by the origin energy of the Yang Family Patriarch and didn’t crumble like Lenggu and the others, although the Yang family had Holy Ancestor realm beings, who would normally dare to release their aura so wantonly towards Yang Zixin?

For a moment, Yang Zixin was also greatly shaken!

She lifted her face and looked at Ye Chen, "Young Master Ye, what should we do now?"

Ye Chen was silent for a moment, then a determined look flashed in his eyes, "We go!"

"What?"

These two words frightened Yang Zixin, turning her face pale!

Ye Chen had just recently slain Leng Ping of the Leng family’s branch, and now he wants to walk into the trap?

Yang Zixin knew that Ye Chen was powerful, monstrous, but no matter how monstrous, he couldn’t be a match for a Holy Ancestor realm presence, right?

This is seeking death!

She immediately shook her head, "No, absolutely not!"

Ye Chen gazed into Yang Zixin’s eyes, "Miss Yang, this journey is extremely dangerous, but I have reasons I cannot ignore. Previously, I promised to protect you in this secret realm, but now it seems I cannot do so. I ask that you lend me the Cangxuan Order and not accompany me.

Although this secret realm has not reached a reopening time, if you wish, I can send you away."

He said this for Yang Zixin’s sake. He knew that if the Leng family investigated Leng Ping’s death, it could lead to Yang Zixin. Outside the secret realm, with the Yang family’s strength, Yang Zixin naturally had nothing to fear, but within the secret realm, without Ye Chen’s protection, it was better not to linger long.

As for the spatial barriers of this Forbidden Land, with Ye Chen’s current mastery of the Destruction Divine Dao, he could easily break through it and send Yang Zixin out without any problem!

Facing this Holy Ancestor realm expert, even Ye Chen had no confidence to survive; he did not want to drag Yang Zixin into dying with him.

Yang Zixin lowered her head slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with complex emotions...

Reason told her she should leave; Ye Chen made sense—this was the safest course of action...

As for whatever end Ye Chen sought, that was his own affair...

Though Ye Chen had saved her, after all, they were merely acquaintances, and if she lent Ye Chen the Cangxuan Order, it would be repaying his favor...

Both sentiment and reason dictated she should leave...

But!

Yet, a strange sense of frustration arose in Yang Zixin’s heart!

She was frustrated because Ye Chen didn’t want her by his side!
