Soon after, the black-clad girl and the mysterious elder left Ye Chen's residence.

They never disclosed their identities to Ye Chen.

It was as if Ye Chen was not qualified to know their origins.

"Girl, let's leave the Celestial Flame Dynasty. Ye Chen is destined to stay as he is; he cannot help our young lady. Staying here would just be a waste of time." The mysterious elder spoke with immense disappointment.

"Let's wait a little longer! If we leave, and someone means harm to Ye Chen, with his pitiful abilities, he would surely meet a grim fate. Though he can't hold up mud, he is still our young lady's fiancé. On her behalf, let's protect him for a while." The black-clad girl couldn't help but sigh.

She had gone through great effort to find Ye Chen in this barbaric land of the Celestial Flame Dynasty.

Yet she never expected him to be so useless.

This truly made her feel utterly disappointed.

Nevertheless, Ye Chen is, after all, her young lady's betrothed. Even if cowardly, he is not someone others can just kill at will.

Anyone wanting to harm Ye Chen must first get past her.

"Girl, we're in a dangerous situation as it is. If the strong ones from the Lei Clan find our trail, they'll undoubtedly hunt us down. Unless absolutely necessary, we should not casually reveal our true strengths." The mysterious elder spoke with utmost seriousness.

"Don't worry, Uncle Hei, I will." The black-clad girl nodded.

"Foster father, foster mother, I've become a seed student of the War King Hall. You can safely settle here." In the lavish palace, Ye Chen spoke gently to Ye Ming and Xiao Hui.

The reason he strove to become a seed student of the War King Hall was to find a refuge for his foster parents.

He didn't believe anyone would dare harm his foster father and mother within his territory.

The guards at the War King Hall are extremely stringent. If a strong enemy were to approach Ye Chen's domain, the elders of the War King Hall would surely detect them.

Even those at the Celestial Spirit Realm would face the same fate.

Only the mysterious elder and black-clad girl could come and go freely at the War King Hall without being noticed by anyone.

Even Ye Chen did not know how powerful they truly were.

He even suspected that the two of them might be immortals, surpassing mere mortals.

"Chen, your strength has far exceeded your foster father's, and I can't help you anymore! Seeing you grow to this stage brings me immense joy, foster father." Ye Ming looked at Ye Chen with overwhelming affection, his eyes filled with deep gratified emotion.

Back then, Ye Chen's father, Ye Qi, entrusted Ye Chen to him, hoping he could raise Ye Chen to adulthood.

And now, not only had Ye Chen grown up, but his strength had also far surpassed his, becoming a seed student of the War King Hall.

He has finally fulfilled the promise he made back then.

"Foster father, foster mother, you've nourished me with kindness; it's now my turn to protect you. Unless I am dead, I will not let anyone harm you." Ye Chen spoke with unmatched determination.

"Good child." Xiao Hui's eyes welled with tears, a warm sentiment swelling in her heart.

All these years, their affection for Ye Chen was not in vain!

An hour later, Ye Chen entered a spacious cultivation chamber.

This cultivation chamber was specifically crafted for seed students by the War King Hall, extremely secretive.

While cultivating inside, there was no worry of being watched.

"Hehe! It's time to train all four Yellow Level Top Grade Martial Arts to the Transformation Realm." Ye Chen exclaimed excitedly.

In the next instant, he took out a scarlet martial arts classic and imprinted its content deep into his mind.

This martial arts classic was precisely the "Fire Ape Fist."

"Power of Enlightenment, operate now." With a thought from Ye Chen, fifty points of the Power of Enlightenment shot out from the Enlightenment Divine Tower, submerging into Ye Chen's mind.

Soon, within Ye Chen's knowledge sea, a mysterious little figure formed, continuously practicing the "Fire Ape Fist," then feeding back into Ye Chen's memory.

In an instant, Ye Chen's mastery of "Fire Ape Fist" reached the Entry Realm at an astonishing speed.

"Haha! Just as swift as ever. At this rate, it'll take less than half a day to train all four Yellow Level Top Grade Martial Arts to the Transformation Realm." Ye Chen's eyes were filled with eager anticipation.

The Power of Enlightenment is indeed heaven-defying.

As long as he possessed enough Power of Enlightenment, no matter how powerful the martial arts technique, Ye Chen could completely master it in no time.

Within Ye Chen's Enlightenment Divine Tower, there were a total of eight hundred points of Power of Enlightenment, enough to elevate sixteen Yellow Level Top Grade Martial Arts to the Transformation Realm.

Unfortunately, Ye Chen has only acquired four Yellow Level Top Grade Martial Arts for now, and no matter how much Power of Enlightenment he possesses, he cannot use it at the moment.

The residence of the Duanmu Family is located in the most prosperous area of the Royal Capital, covering thousands of acres, filled with magnificent palaces, which are so grand and majestic that they almost rival the Imperial Palace.

On ordinary days, the Duanmu Family's residence is always filled with scenes of singing and dancing.

But today, the atmosphere here is extremely oppressive.

In one of the grand halls, there is a coffin, inside of which lies the corpse of Duanmu Jie.

His eyes are still wide open, filled with intense fear and unwillingness, appearing to be in a state of eternal unrest.

"My dear nephew, I swear, I will personally cut down that little beast Ye Chen, to avenge you," at this moment, Duanmu Ying's facial features were slightly twisted, looking particularly ferocious, with terrifying murderous intent surging from her whole body.

Ye Chen had killed the nephew entrusted to her by her elder brother right under her nose.

To her, this was a feud as irreconcilable as the sky and the earth.

So, even though Ye Chen has now become a seed student of the War King Hall, Duanmu Ying would never let him go.

She is determined to make Xiao Yi die without a burial place, sending him to Hell to be buried with Duanmu Jie.

"Patriarch, the Xiahou Family has sent someone over." At this moment, an elderly man with white hair suddenly came before Duanmu Ying and conveyed the message to her.

Besides serving as the Master of Profound Sword Peak, Duanmu Ying also serves as the Patriarch of the Duanmu Family.

However, she rarely personally handles the affairs of the Duanmu Family, usually delegating important matters to the elderly man before her.

"The Xiahou Family? Take me to see them quickly." Duanmu Ying's graceful body trembled suddenly, looking extremely shocked, with a trace of deep apprehension flashing in her eyes.

It's important to know that the Xiahou Family is one of the most powerful families of the Great Virtue Dynasty, with overall strength far superior to that of the Duanmu Family.

After all, the Great Virtue Dynasty is a First Class Dynasty, completely incomparable to a Third Class Dynasty like the Celestial Flame Dynasty.

Very soon, Duanmu Ying arrived at an exceptionally secretive chamber.

In a corner of the chamber, there sat a man in a black robe, his eyes appearing extremely sinister, just like a venomous snake, making him shiver involuntarily.

"Master of Profound Sword Peak, we meet again," the black-robed man's voice hoarsely uttered, sounding extremely indifferent, as if devoid of any emotion.

"So it's Elder Shi, may I know the purpose of your visit?" Duanmu Ying's expression appeared extremely polite as she spoke.

The black-robed elder before her was named Xiahou Shi, the Third Elder of the Xiahou Family.

Even Duanmu Ying felt quite apprehensive about his strength.

"I am here this time to eliminate the Patriarch of the Ouyang Family, Ouyang Zhong. I know you have always coveted the cultivation resources of the War King Hall, so I wish to join forces with you to remove Ouyang Zhong.

Once Ouyang Zhong is dead, the Ouyang Family will be leaderless, and it will be incredibly easy to erase them from this world," the black-robed elder coldly laughed, with terrifying murderous intent shooting from his eyes.

"With Elder Shi's strength, it shouldn't be difficult to kill Ouyang Zhong. Why do you need to join forces with me?" Duanmu Ying slightly frowned.

You know, although Ouyang Zhong's cultivation has also reached the Peak of the Celestial Spirit Realm, his overall strength is far inferior to Duanmu Ying.

After all, Duanmu Ying has cultivated a Profound Level Lower Grade Martial Arts, which Ouyang Zhong simply does not have the qualifications for.

As for the black-robed elder before her, his strength is such that even Duanmu Ying feels quite apprehensive.

If he wanted to eliminate Ouyang Zhong, it shouldn't be difficult, so there's no need to join forces with her.

"Better safe than sorry. Who knows if Ouyang Zhong carries the Secret Treasure left behind by Ouyang Fu? Forty years ago, our Patriarch personally dealt with the previous Hall Master of the War King Hall, who was hiding the Secret Treasure of Ouyang Fu. Fortunately, our Patriarch was well-prepared, otherwise, he might not have been able to kill him," Xiahou Shi said coldly.

If Ye Chen were here at this moment, he would certainly be extremely shocked.

It turned out that the previous Hall Master of the War King Hall was killed by the Patriarch of the Xiahou Family.

And now, the Xiahou Family had sent Xiahou Shi to the Celestial Flame Dynasty to kill Ouyang Zhong.

If something unfortunate really happened to Ouyang Zhong, the Ouyang Family would soon fall into complete decline, and might even be removed from the six major families.

"Ouyang Fu was an Immortal of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect, the War King Hall was founded by him personally, the Secret Treasure he left behind is indeed not to be underestimated.

However, I have long wanted to remove that meddlesome old dog Ouyang Zhong, so I can join forces with you. But this matter must be done extremely secretly, and absolutely no one else can find out," Duanmu Ying coldly laughed, with dreadful fierce light shining from the depths of her cold eyes.

All along, in Duanmu Ying's eyes, Ouyang Zhong was the biggest obstacle to her annexing the cultivation resources of the War King Hall, and she had long wanted to remove him.

In addition, Ouyang Zhong had always protected that little beast Ye Chen, so she couldn't wait to kill Ouyang Zhong immediately.

And now, the opportunity had finally arrived, and there was no way she would miss it.
