Tai Li vanished into the world, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

This man reached the peak of madness, daring to bury everyone. Such a thought is insane and intolerable to anyone.

"Tai Li, this rebellious child, dared to think of slaying his ancestors; he truly deserves a thousand deaths."

"He dared to make a move against us; it's utterly treacherous, such a person cannot be tolerated!"

"Ye Chen, luckily you stood up for justice, ridding the Tai Family of great peril!"

Tai Li's madness reached its apex, disregarding familial ties, intending to annihilate the entire Tai Family, inciting massive outrage.

Initially, when the Tai Family abandoned Tai Li, they still felt some regret, even guilt.

However, as events unfolded, that regret and guilt vanished entirely, leaving only hatred.

They were relieved that Tai Li was killed by Ye Chen. Otherwise, this heartless rebel would have sent them all to meet King Yan.

Tai Qiang, Tai Sheng, and Tai Long all expressed gratitude to Ye Chen, not blaming him at all for destroying Tai Li.

However, Ye Chen looked grave, showing no hint of happiness.

Tai Li was dead.

This man had been scheming for a long time, intending to contend with Ye Chen.

But after Ye Chen eliminated Tai Li, he showed no joy. Because the words Tai Li spoke before death left Ye Chen feeling a peculiar sense of foreboding.

"Ye Chen, Tai Li said there's still a battle between you two, what does that mean? Is it possible he's not dead?" Yun Zheyue asked.

Tai Li's death was without suspense, but his last words were exceedingly strange.

Tai Li spoke of destiny, leaving one with a mystical, incomprehensible feeling.

Moreover, Tai Li's last words claimed Ye Chen was too weak?

What kind of situation is this?

"Tai Li is already dead, but the cause and effect remain," Ye Chen said. "This Tai Li was man-made, just a wisp of a divine soul! So, even if Tai Li is gone, that cause and effect remain, and we shall meet again!"

Ye Chen cultivated within the arcane gate, his power growing deeper and immeasurable, incomprehensible to others.

Tai Li's words before death were beyond others' understanding, but Ye Chen sensed that all was not finished.

"A battle of destiny?" Su Binglan also remarked. "This Tai Li hid deeply; his final words were nonsensical. Could he be a hidden BOSS?"

"Yes." Ye Chen said. "This Tai Li was merely a puppet, carrying a wisp of another's soul; the mastermind still lurks."

"Moreover, this person is extremely powerful, likely far surpassing me, hence saying I'm too weak."

Tai Li's final words were too profound; even though Ye Chen had some deductions, he couldn't be certain.

"Will he kill again?" Yun Zheyue asked with a frown.

The apocalypse loomed, with figures defying the heavens emerging one after another; it was genuinely difficult to predict the situation.

"No." Ye Chen seemed to have realized something. "Both he and I are children of destiny; there will eventually be an ultimate battle, but not now."

"..."

Ye Chen's words were so profound they quieted everyone down, each speculating about his meaning.

Finally, Su Binglan dismissed everyone, calming the situation.

However, the Tai Family members did not leave, not because they didn't want to, but because Ye Chen wouldn't allow it.

"Ye Chen, you killed my brother!"

In a meeting room, Tai Ya questioned Ye Chen, because he killed Tai Li.

Tai Ya had a very good relationship with Tai Li; naturally, she harbored hatred towards Ye Chen for killing him.

"Tai Ya, do not be rude!"

Tai Ya daring to scold Ye Chen made Tai Qiang shiver with fear, his legs and feet going soft.

Ye Chen's presence was too transcendent; he could eliminate a Great Saint with a flick of his finger, they couldn't afford to offend him!

"Second Ancestor, Tai Li was the young master of the Tai Family; Ye Chen killed the successor of the Tai Family, and yet you still speak for him?" Tai Ya was nearly furious to death.

Tai Li's actions were extreme, but since they belonged to the same family, they should unite against any threat. Tai Qiang and others' behavior was unbearable to Tai Ya.

"What do you, a child, understand!" Tai Qiang criticized. "One death of Tai Li is a small matter; the survival of the Tai Family is great!"

"I don't care." Tai Ya said. "Ye Chen killed my brother; I'll fight him to the death!"

Ye Chen's combat power was extraordinary and beyond the common; Tai Ya naturally couldn't overpower him, but she bore a heart of vengeance.

"You!"

Seeing Tai Ya's rebellion made Tai Qiang's fingers tremble with anger.

"Tai Ya, are you twenty-seven this year?" At this moment, Tai Sheng spoke up. "A woman at this age should marry and have children. I'll find you a good family!"

"What!" Tai Ya's face changed dramatically.

"Tai Li was the young master of the Tai Family, but he did wrong and deserved such an end." Tai Sheng said. "Tai Ya, I know you were close to Tai Li, but you must act with restraint and not lose the larger picture for small matters!"

"..."

Tai Ya was so frightened she dared not speak, because Tai Sheng was already threatening her. If she continued to stir trouble, she could very well be abandoned by the Tai Family and become a tool for marriage alliances.

"Alright." Ye Chen said. "I kept you here not to hear your quarrel, but because there's something I need to say."

Both Tai Ya's and Tai Qiang's viewpoints were correct, only the starting points differed.

Ye Chen's power was increasingly terrifying, having transcended all worlds, caring little for such trivial matters.

"Ye Chen, what do you need to say?" Tai Qiang asked.

After Tai Li was crushed by Ye Chen, the Tai Family members wanted to leave, but Ye Chen stopped them.

Now Ye Chen said there was something to say, which made them both anxious and reluctant to deal with Ye Chen.

Who would want to make deals with the Demon King?

"Before taking action against Tai Li, we had an agreement, do you remember?" Ye Chen asked.

"You!" Tai Qiang and the others' faces changed.

Indeed, what Ye Chen wanted to discuss was exactly what they cared about and feared the most.

"You promised me that as long as I took action and killed Tai Li, I would choose the Family Head," Ye Chen said.

"Ye Chen, the Tai Family ultimately belongs to the Tai Family; isn't it inappropriate for you to let someone else manage it?"

Tai Qiang wore a smile, but internally cursed Ye Chen. However, facing overwhelming power, even if Ye Chen went too far, they dared not turn against him.

In these times, whoever has the bigger fist is the boss!

"Who said I was going to let someone else manage it?" Ye Chen said. "The person I'm choosing is Tai Ya, to let her become the head of the Tai Family."

"What!"

Now, not only Tai Qiang was dumbfounded, but even Tai Ya was a bit confused; what exactly did Ye Chen mean?

Ye Chen's proposal to choose the Family Head made Tai Qiang and others think he wanted to seize the Tai Family.

However, given the pressing situation, they had no choice but to agree.

Yet they never expected that the person Ye Chen chose was actually Tai Ya!

Moreover, not only were Tai Qiang and others surprised, but even Tai Ya couldn't understand why Ye Chen chose her as Family Head?

They didn't have any particular relationship!

"Alright, let Tai Ya become the Family Head." Tai Qiang agreed immediately. "However, it's not a solution for you to delay; Ye Chen, when do you plan to marry Ya'er?"

Evidently, Tai Qiang misunderstood.
