Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

At this moment, young Cultivators flew out from the Carefree Wanderer's mansion, returning to the valley they were in before.

"Great, we finally escaped."

"This time, we truly faced near-death. If the Illusion Realm within the palace hadn't suddenly disappeared, we would have been killed by that mysterious power sooner or later," the young Cultivators expressed with lingering fear.

It's worth noting that the mysterious power could easily kill even those ranking within the top ten of the Hidden Dragon List.

If targeted by it, death was certain.

"Alas, Xiahou Lei awakened his Earth Level Bloodline with unlimited potential, yet died to that mysterious power—truly, heaven is jealous of talent!" many young Cultivators sighed.

In their view, with Xiahou Lei's potential, as long as he grew steadily, he was destined to become a Divine Mansion Realm Immortal in the future.

But now, he had died in the Carefree Wanderer's mansion, which was truly regrettable.

"Humph! It's all because of that useless Ye Chen. If he hadn't accidentally opened the Carefree Wanderer's mansion, Senior Xiahou wouldn't have died."

"Exactly, this is all Ye Chen's fault. If he weren't already dead by that mysterious power, I would want nothing more than to tear him apart to avenge Senior Xiahou," a few Red Flame Academy students said furiously.

Not only them, but the vast majority of young Cultivators also believed Ye Chen deserved his fate.

After all, if it weren't for this useless person opening the Carefree Wanderer's mansion, the young Cultivators exploring inside would not have been killed by that mysterious power.

Unfortunately, Ye Chen is already dead, so even if the crowd wants to vent their anger, there's no way.

"Ha! This useless person should be grateful he died at the hands of the mysterious power, otherwise he wouldn't be able to withstand the fury of the Xiahou Family and the Cyan Wood Dynasty," mocked a young Cultivator with a sneer.

"Indeed, he killed the Third Prince of the Cyan Wood Dynasty, Wang Long, and caused the death of Xiahou Lei. Dying like this is really too easy for him," other young Cultivators chimed in.

"Who said I was dead?" At this moment, a figure suddenly shot out from the Carefree Wanderer's mansion.

A young man in a white robe, looking only sixteen or seventeen years old, appeared, extraordinarily handsome and gentle, giving off an innocent aura.

The young man was Ye Chen.

"Ye Chen, it's Ye Chen!"

"No, that's impossible. Didn't Ye Chen get killed by that mysterious power? How can he still be alive?" An uproar broke out in the valley.

All the young Cultivators fixed their eyes on Ye Chen, filled with disbelief, as if they had seen a ghost.

Didn't Lin Man tell everyone that Ye Chen was killed by that mysterious power?

Yet now, he stands here, perfectly fine, without a scratch.

"Lin Man! What's going on? Didn't you say this waste was dead? How is he still alive?" a Red Flame Academy student angrily demanded of Lin Man.

"How is this possible? Ye Chen, weren't you targeted by that mysterious power? How could you escape?" At this moment, Lin Man froze, her face turning ghastly pale, as if witnessing the most unbelievable event ever.

She initially believed that once Ye Chen encountered the mysterious power, his death was inevitable, with no chance of survival.

Yet now, he stands before her utterly unharmed.

How can she believe this?

"Humph! Indeed, I encountered the mysterious power, but I subdued it," Ye Chen's lips curled into a cold smile.

In truth, he barely survived the Three-tailed Cyan Fox's Demon Soul claws.

If he hadn't unsealed the Celestial Soul Divine Tower at the critical moment, he would have been dead.

Thus, Lin Man's belief in his inevitable death was entirely logical.

"Haha, this is ridiculous! Based on what, you, a waste, think you can subdue that terrifying being? Where did you get the courage to make such a claim?"

"That terrifying being could even kill Senior Xiahou, while you, a waste, aren't even worthy to carry Senior Xiahou's shoes. How could you subdue it? Would you die if you didn't boast?" The Red Flame Academy students sneered, looking at Ye Chen as if he were a pathetic clown.

"Where's that bitch Ye Lin'Er? Tell her to come out and die," Ye Chen's eyes suddenly shot out a terrifying gleam, his voice extremely cold.

He had no intention of explaining to anyone how he killed the Three-tailed Cyan Fox's Demon Soul.

Because, even if he did, no one would believe him.

Moreover, he doesn't need others to believe.

His purpose in coming here this time was to end the enmity between him and that bitch Ye Lin'Er.

"Insolent! Who gives you, a mere trash, the courage to speak ill of Fairy Lin'Er?"

"Trash like you, who only rely on a Secret Treasure, think you're worthy of making Fairy Lin'Er take action personally? Do you really think that by killing Tang Lin, you can be invincible? Let me tell you, any one of us can easily crush you to death." In the valley, a group of young cultivators harshly reprimanded Ye Chen, their eyes full of disdain and scorn.

These young cultivators were well-known figures on the Hidden Dragon List, and several of them were ranked much higher than Tang Lin.

There was even someone ranked ninth on the Hidden Dragon List, exuding an aura that was much more powerful than Tang Lin's.

"It's Zhao Hao, ranked ninth on the Hidden Dragon List."

"Heh! With his strength, crushing Ye Chen, this waste, is as easy as turning a hand, even if this waste has a Secret Treasure, it won't help."

"Today, this waste must die. He has killed so many people; even dying a hundred times wouldn't make up for his crimes." The young cultivators watching burst into mocking laughter, their mouths filled with a playful look, viewing Ye Chen as if looking at a dead man.

"Waste, kneel to me, or you'll die miserably! Rest assured, as long as you behave, I won't kill you. Your worthless life will be left to Fairy Lin'Er and Brother Wang Yang to deal with." A young man in golden battle armor said with a commanding tone, staring indifferently at Ye Chen.

It was as if, in his eyes, Ye Chen was nothing but a dead dog waiting to be crushed at will.

This golden-armored young man was none other than Zhao Hao.

He is a famous genius of the Golden Dynasty, one of the six First Class Dynasties.

His true terror lies in the awakening of two Profound Level, First Grade bloodlines.

In this world, very few cultivators possess more than one bloodline.

However, such individuals are incredibly rare, and you wouldn't find one in the entire Celestial Flame Dynasty.

Yet Zhao Hao is precisely such a person; not only has he awakened two bloodlines, but both have reached the Profound Level, First Grade.

As such, although his battle power might not match those geniuses with awakened Earth Level bloodlines, it was far superior to Tang Lin's and enough to easily crush him.

For this reason, even though Ye Chen, this waste, used the power of the Secret Treasure to kill Tang Lin.

Zhao Hao still didn't take Ye Chen seriously.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you ask me to kneel? If you seek death, I can fulfill your wish at any time." Surprisingly, Ye Chen showed no fear. Instead, a trace of disdain flashed across his lips, and he responded with an overpowering and domineering tone.

It's as if, in Ye Chen's eyes, Zhao Hao was just a fly he could squash at will.

"Arrogant words!"

"Overestimating oneself."

"Just who gives you, this waste, the courage to say such things?" The young cultivators watching sneered, looking at Ye Chen as if at a pitiful fool who overestimated himself.

"Heh! It seems that after luckily killing Tang Lin, your confidence has swelled entirely, and you can't even recognize your weight or measure. Since that's the case, I will make you understand just how ignorant and foolish you are." Zhao Hao, enraged, laughed instead, his eyes suddenly shooting out terrifying killing intent.

A mere waste unable to awaken a bloodline, and if not for the power of the Secret Treasure, he couldn't even defeat Tang Lin.

But now, this waste dares boast about killing him.

To him, this was simply a humiliating disgrace.

Therefore, today, he must make Ye Chen pay a painful price in the Prefecture City, making him understand that some people are not to be offended by waste like him.

Rumble.

In the next moment, an extremely violent Celestial Spirit surged from Zhao Hao's body, instantly condensing into nine terrifying Celestial Spirit Vortexes.

His cultivation was the same as Xiahou Lei's, both having stepped into the Ninth Layer of the Celestial Spirit Realm.

"Stop, Zhao Hao, you are not his opponent." Just then, a woman's voice suddenly resounded in everyone's ears, sounding extremely grave.

The one speaking was Lin Man.

Although Lin Man was really disgusted with Ye Chen, the troublemaker, she had to admit that his strength was truly terrifying.

Otherwise, Xiahou Lei wouldn't have died at his hands.

So, the reason she spoke to warn Zhao Hao was also to prevent Zhao Hao from being killed by Ye Chen.

"Lin Man, do you know what you are saying?"

"It seems you have really been scared silly by that eerie power in the Carefree Wanderer's mansion, just spouting nonsense."

"Hmph! With Zhao Hao's strength, he could smash this waste with a flip of his hand. If you keep talking nonsense and offend Zhao Hao, you will surely pay a heavy price." The surrounding young cultivators sneered and mocked, looking at Lin Man as if she were an idiot.
