Dragon Elephant Peak, located to the south of the Celestial Flame Academy, is Ye Chen's territory.
Here, the leafy trees flourish, jade grasses spread everywhere, flying waterfalls and pavilions are a common sight, resembling an earthly paradise.
For a long time, Ye Chen's adoptive father and mother have lived on Dragon Elephant Peak, enjoying an extremely leisurely life.
"Husband, Chen'er has left the Celestial Flame Academy for several tens of days now, why hasn't he come back yet? I'm really worried about him." In a magnificent palace atop Dragon Elephant Peak, Ye Chen's adoptive mother, Xiao Hui, said with extreme concern on her face.
In fact, ever since Ye Chen set off for the Immortal Secret Realm, she had been constantly worried about his safety.
After all, Ye Lin'er, Chu Feng, and others all wanted to put Ye Chen to death.
If Ye Chen were really targeted by them in the Immortal Secret Realm, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Don't worry, my dear, Chen'er will definitely be fine." Ye Chen's adoptive father, Ye Ming, couldn't help but comfort Xiao Hui.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
Just then, there came an extremely sharp sound of the air being sliced outside the palace.
Only to see a group of strong individuals, whose cultivation had stepped into the Celestial Spirit Realm, flying towards Dragon Elephant Peak at great speed, each of them exuding a terrifying killing intent, making one involuntarily shiver.
"Brother, here is Dragon Elephant Peak. Ye Chen's adoptive father and mother live in that palace, and today they both must die." An elder in gray robes said coldly.
He was the Seventh Elder of Profound Sword Peak, whose cultivation had reached the Fifth Layer of the Celestial Spirit Realm.
This time, he was ordered by Duanmu Ying to come here to kill Ye Chen's adoptive parents.
In addition to the elder in gray robes, there were also three other Stewards from Profound Sword Peak, participating in this beheading operation.
After all, this place is the residence of Ye Chen, the Hall Master of War King Hall, and the surroundings would certainly have War King Hall's experts guarding it.
To prevent Ye Chen's adoptive father and mother from escaping, they naturally needed to send more personnel.
"Those two ants, you go and crush them. If anyone dares to stop you, I will annihilate them all." Beside the elder in gray robes, a middle-aged man in black battle armor said with a blank expression, his mouth full of cruel contempt, like an emotionless killing machine.
This middle-aged man, named Xiahou Zong, had already reached the Ninth Layer of the Celestial Spirit Realm.
This time, he came to assist the experts of Profound Sword Peak in eliminating Ye Chen's adoptive parents.
With him here, this matter would be absolutely foolproof.
Because his cultivation not only reached the Ninth Layer of the Celestial Spirit Realm but also had twice the Qi Sea Foundation.
Even the most powerful presence of the War King Hall, Ouyang Lu, was no match for him, let alone anyone else.
Today, anyone who dares to come out to protect Ye Chen's adoptive parents will be killed without mercy.
"Husband, someone is coming, could it be Chen'er?" Inside the palace, Xiao Hui's expression turned to joy upon hearing the sound, and she quickly flew towards the outside of the palace.
"I told you Chen'er would be fine." Ye Ming's mouth also filled with a joyful smile, following Xiao Hui out of the palace.
"Brother, those two filthy people are Ye Chen's adoptive parents." Above the palace, the elder in gray robes stared at Ye Ming and Xiao Hui with cold eyes, a sinister smile on his lips, as if looking at two dead people.
"Oh! Just two lowly ants, quickly wipe them out, I don't want to waste too much time here." Xiahou Zong didn't even bother to glance at Ye Ming and Xiao Hui, his tone extremely disdainful.
"Not good, it's Celestial Spirit Realm experts, they are here to kill us!" Ye Ming's pupils suddenly contracted, his face turning paler than death.
Although his Dantian had recovered, and his strength was much stronger than before,
in front of Celestial Spirit Realm experts, he was still no different from an ant.
If the opponent wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as flipping a hand.
"This is Chen'er's residence, how dare they come and kill us so brazenly?" Xiao Hui tightly grasped Ye Ming's right hand, her eyes full of dense anxiety.
"My dear, the experts from the War King Hall will definitely come to protect us." Although Ye Ming was also very uneasy in his heart, he couldn't help but comfort Xiao Hui.
"Duanmu Xi, how dare you, this is the residence of our Hall Master, how can you intrude so freely, leave at once." At this moment, an elder with white hair suddenly roared from high above, fiercely scolding the elder in gray robes.
This elder, named Ouyang De, was the Fourth Elder of the War King Hall.
He had always been secretly protecting Ye Chen's adoptive father and mother.
Originally, he thought that since Ye Chen's adoptive parents lived in Ye Chen's residence, no one would dare do them harm.
But to his surprise, Duanmu Xi was so bold, daring to openly bring Profound Sword Peak's experts into Dragon Elephant Peak.
It should be noted that this violates the regulations of the Celestial Flame Academy.
If the experts of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect knew of this matter, they would definitely face extremely severe punishment.
"Ha! Ouyang De, I never expected that the powerful guardian at Dragon Elephant Peak would be you. No wonder you didn't attend Ouyang Lu's birthday banquet," Duanmu Xi said with a cold laugh, a thick layer of mockery lining the corners of his mouth.
Today was Ouyang Lu's ninety-ninth birthday banquet, and nearly all the powerful figures of the Ouyang Family had gone to attend.
However, Ouyang De was nowhere to be found.
It turns out he had been secretly protecting Ye Chen's adoptive father and mother at this place all along.
"Duanmu Xi, I'll say it again, get out of Dragon Elephant Peak, or don't blame me for being merciless," Ouyang De shouted angrily, powerful Celestial Spirits surging all over his body.
"Brother Zong, leave this old man to me, let's go kill that waste Ye Chen's adoptive father and mother," Duanmu Xi seemingly ignored Ouyang De's words and respectfully said to Xiahou Zong beside him.
"What? You're here to kill the Hall Master's adoptive father and mother?" Ouyang De's body trembled suddenly, his face turned extremely ugly.
"That's right, we are under the order of the Peak Master to take the lives of these filthy beasts," Duanmu Xi sneered, a frightening killing intent shooting from his eyes.
"Aren't you afraid that the Hall Master will come back and take revenge on you?" Ouyang De furrowed his brows tightly, gritting his teeth as he spoke.
"Ha! That waste Ye Chen must already be dead in the Immortal Secret Realm; there's no way he could come back alive! And even if he somehow managed to survive, so what? The strong ones of the Xiahou Family can easily crush him to death. Alright, you old bastard, it's time for you to go as well! Don't worry, the Xiahou Family will wipe out your Ouyang Family tonight, so you won't be lonely on the Yellow Springs road," Duanmu Xi couldn't help but laugh scornfully, the corners of his mouth thick with ridicule.
"Wipe out our Ouyang Family!" Ouyang De's pupils suddenly shrank, a chill running down his spine.
At this moment, countless thoughts swirled in his mind.
The Ouyang Family had always been under the protection of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect, and the Xiahou Family would never dare to make a move against them casually.
Unless the Azure Sky Immortal Sect no longer planned to protect them.
But how could that be possible?
Didn't the Battle King Hall have another ten years to cultivate an Immortal Seed? Why would the Azure Sky Immortal Sect abandon the Ouyang Family ahead of time?
"Old thing, your Battle King Hall has already been taken over by other forces. From now on, your Ouyang Family will no longer have the protection of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect. Alright, you can die now." At this moment, an extremely terrifying force suddenly surged from Xiahou Zong's body, gathering into an immense golden blade light, slashing fiercely toward Ouyang De.
"No!" Ouyang De's expression suddenly changed, his eyes filled with intense horror and despair.
Buzz.
Even though he did his utmost to push his inner power to the limit, even unleashing his Bloodline Power,
his strength was simply too far behind compared to Xiahou Zong.
So, all this was in vain.
With a loud ripping sound,
in a split second, the golden blade light cleaved Ouyang De's body in half, killing him instantly.
Before he died, his eyes were wide open, filled with intense resentment.
If he could have left here alive, he could have warned the powerful ones of the Ouyang Family to be wary of the Xiahou Family.
Unfortunately, he no longer had that chance.
"I've already killed this old bastard, go and crush those two ants to death. I don't want to waste too much time on them." Xiahou Zong said expressionlessly, looking at Ye Ming and Xiao Hui as if looking at two ants that could be stomped to death at any moment.
"Alright, Brother Zong, kill them for me." Duanmu Xi sneered, issuing orders to a powerful figure beside him.
"Filthy beasts, let me send you to Hell to reunite with that waste Ye Chen." The powerful figure's expression was incredibly ferocious, activating the Celestial Spirit Activation within, transforming it into an enormous hand, slapping fiercely toward Ye Chen's adoptive father and mother.
"Husband." Xiao Hui tightly held Ye Ming's body, her eyes full of deep reluctance.
"My wife, we'll be husband and wife in the next life," Ye Ming's brawny physique shielded Xiao Hui in front of him, softly saying to her.
"Mm!" A sweet smile appeared on the corners of Xiao Hui's mouth immediately.
As long as she could die together with Ye Ming, she had no regrets.
With a loud bang,
at this moment, a purple divine light suddenly howled out from the Ancient Forest, effortlessly dispersing that enormous golden hand.
Whoosh whoosh.
Immediately after, two figures appeared silently in front of Ye Ming and Xiao Hui.
One of the figures was a mysterious elder wearing a Bronze Mask, with purple divine light flickering on his fingertips.
The other was a girl in black clothing wearing a black veil.
"Benefactors." Ye Ming and Xiao Hui couldn't help but feel overjoyed, their eyes filled with deep excitement.
