The next morning, a streak of light streaked across the sky at great speed from the Canglan Mountain Range, like a meteor, instantly entering the territory of the Celestial Flame Dynasty.

Within this streak of light was enveloped a young man in white with a graceful appearance, none other than Ye Chen.

"Soon, in about a cup of tea's time, I will be able to arrive at Celestial Flame Academy. I hope I can still make it in time." Ye Chen's brows were tightly knitted together, his heart burning with anxiety as he spoke.

He had hurried from the depths of the Canglan Mountain Range to the Celestial Flame Dynasty at the fastest speed, yet it still took him an entire night to arrive here.

Truly, the place where the Immortal Secret Realm is located is too far from the Celestial Flame Dynasty.

At this moment, he not only worried about Ouyang Xue's safety but also about his foster father and foster mother.

If the War King Hall has indeed been taken over by other forces, as Xiahou Lei said.

Then, the Ouyang Family's situation will be extremely dangerous, and they might be wiped out by strong fighters from the Xiahou Family at any time.

By then, no one will be able to protect his foster father and foster mother.

With Duanmu Ying's personality, she will definitely send people to harm his foster father and foster mother.

"Foster father, foster mother, you must not have anything happen to you. I'm going to protect you now." Ye Chen's expression was extremely anxious, pushing the Third Layer of Wandering Dragon True Intent to the extreme, his body seemingly transforming into a Nine Heavens True Dragon, instantly disappearing from the spot.

Celestial Flame City, within the residence of the Ouyang Family.

"Elder, we have searched every corner of the Ouyang Family, but have not found that treasure map, not even a trace of it." A group of Xiahou family warriors reported to Xiahou Shi.

"Hmph! It seems that the treasure map is not here, come on, let's go to Profound Sword Peak now, that bitch Ouyang Xue might know the whereabouts of the map. Whatever means necessary, we must make her talk." Xiahou Shi said with an expressionless face, his tone extremely cold, sending chills down one's spine.

Swish swish swish.

The next moment, he led the Xiahou family's warriors swiftly towards the direction of Profound Sword Peak.

"Have you heard? Last night, the entire Ouyang Family was exterminated. It's said that except for Ouyang Xue, everyone else is dead."

"What? How is that possible? Hasn't the Ouyang Family always been under the protection of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect? How could anyone dare to exterminate the Ouyang Family?" At this moment, everywhere in the streets and alleys of Celestial Flame City, there were discussions, each with eyes full of shock and disbelief.

"Alas! The War King Hall has been taken over by the Lu Family of the Black Soil Dynasty since yesterday, so the Ouyang Family is no longer under the protection of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect, otherwise, even the Xiahou Family wouldn't dare to eliminate the Ouyang Family." Someone couldn't help but sigh.

One must know, the Ouyang Family had existed in Celestial Flame City for roughly five hundred years, and had always been one of the top families.

Yet in just one night, they were exterminated.

It truly leaves one sighing.

"Haha, the Ouyang Family has finally been exterminated, serves them right."

"If blame must be assigned, it's their fault for offending the Xiahou Family, could a colossal power like the Xiahou Family be offended by the Ouyang Family? This is why they brought about their own destruction." Meanwhile, at Celestial Flame Academy's Profound Sword Peak, many students, upon learning of the Ouyang Family's extermination, gloated one after another.

Especially the cultivators of the Duanmu Family, their mouths were filled with mocking smiles.

"Ha! Ouyang Zhong, you probably never imagined that your Ouyang Family would be exterminated so quickly. When you sheltered that trash Ye Chen, weren't you very tough? How come you couldn't even protect your Ouyang Family, truly an old piece of trash." A Profound Sword Peak elder sneered.

This elder was none other than Duanmu Hui, who presided over the freshman competition.

He deliberately arranged powerful contestants during the freshman competition, intending to kill Ye Chen.

If Ye Chen were not strong enough, he would have long been killed by him.

"Pity, that trash Ye Chen has already died in the Immortal Secret Realm, otherwise knowing that the Ouyang Family has been exterminated, I wonder what expression he would have, hahaha!" A white-haired elder with a fierce and vicious appearance beside Duanmu Hui laughed loudly, his eyes full of intense mockery.

This white-haired elder was none other than Duanmu Lang.

He once led the Duanmu Family's Golden Dragon Guard to capture Ye Chen's foster father and mother outside Celestial Flame Academy.

Moreover, in the Duanmu Family's celestial prison, he continuously tortured Ye Chen's foster father, Ye Ming, even piercing through his clavicle.

If not for a mysterious old man wearing a bronze mask rescuing Ye Chen's foster father and mother at the critical moment, they would surely have died at Duanmu Lang's hands.

"Heh! I would rather hope that trash Ye Chen could come back alive. He killed Young Master Duanmu Jie, dying in the Immortal Secret Realm is too easy for him, he must first taste the pain of losing loved ones and friends before being killed to quench the hatred." Duanmu Hui sneered.

"Hahaha! His mentor Ouyang Xue has already been tortured beyond recognition by our Peak Master, this is the price for killing Young Master Duanmu Jie." Duanmu Lang's mouth was filled with a thick sense of cruelty.

Swish swish swish.

At this moment, Xiahou Shi suddenly descended swiftly with a group of cultivators from the Xiahou family above Profound Sword Peak.

"Greetings to Elder Xiahou." Duanmu Hui, Duanmu Lang, and others all showed the utmost respect towards Xiahou Shi, as if they were dogs who had met their master.

"Bring out that bitch, Ouyang Xue, to your Peak Master," Xiahou Shi said coldly.

"Yes! I will go report to the Peak Master right away," Duanmu Hui replied quickly, not daring to delay even a bit.

The Duanmu family, although being one of the top families of the Celestial Flame Dynasty,

couldn't even be compared with the colossal Xiahou family.

For them to wipe out the Duanmu family, it would be as simple as eradicating the Ouyang Family.

Therefore, Duanmu Hui dared not show the slightest disrespect to Xiahou Shi.

Swish.

At this moment, a streak of light suddenly flew across the cloud layer above the Celestial Flame Academy at extreme speed and then descended upon Dragon Elephant Peak.

The speed of this streak of light was so fast and was obscured by the clouds that no one noticed it.

"Foster Father, Foster Mother, I'm back." At this time, Ye Chen landed in front of his residence, looking extremely tense.

Because he was truly worried that something might have happened to his foster father and foster mother.

"Husband, it's Chen'er, he's back, that's great, truly great." Inside Ye Chen's residence, Xiao Hui's delicate body trembled violently, showing extreme joy, and she rushed outside as quickly as possible.

"Haha, I told you Chen'er would be fine," Ye Ming couldn't help but laugh heartily, his eyes full of excitement and joy.

Swish.

The next moment, Ye Chen's figure rushed in from outside, appearing instantly in front of Ye Ming and Xiao Hui.

Seeing Ye Ming and Xiao Hui were safe and sound, Ye Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as the heavy stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

"Chen'er, you finally came back, those days, your foster mother was really worried about you." Xiao Hui looked at Ye Chen with loving eyes, with tears rolling down her eyes.

This was tears of joy.

"Chen'er, it's good that you returned, but there's something I must tell you, the Xiahou family intends to wipe out the Ouyang family, and they probably acted last night," Ye Ming couldn't help but sigh.

Since last night, he was hiding with Xiao Hui, so he didn't even know that the Ouyang family had been annihilated by the Xiahou family until now.

Even so, Ye Ming had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"What? Damn it, really damn it, I am still a step too late." Ye Chen's face suddenly changed dramatically, and even his fists clenched tightly, emitting harsh cracking sounds.

"Chen'er, last night, Duanmu Ying also sent a group of strong fighters to kill us, including a Xiahou family powerhouse. The Fourth Elder was killed by that Xiahou family powerhouse to protect us. If it weren't for our benefactor's timely intervention, we'd definitely be dead now," Ye Ming continued, looking deeply terrified.

"Courting death! Duanmu Ying, you bitch, how dare you attack my foster father and foster mother? I, Ye Chen, swear that this time I'll make your Duanmu family disappear from this world," Ye Chen's eyes turned blood-red, with a terrifying murderous intent shooting out, making souls tremble uncontrollably.

At this moment, he was truly angry.

The Duanmu family had repeatedly attempted to put his foster father and mother to death, which undoubtedly struck Ye Chen's scales.

Previously, Ye Chen's strength was not strong enough to do anything about Duanmu Ying.

But this time, after his strength transformed in the Immortal Secret Realm, he was determined to make Duanmu Ying pay in blood.

Swish.

The next moment, with a flicker, Ye Chen rushed out of his residence, speeding towards Profound Sword Peak.

Even Ye Ming and Xiao Hui had no time to stop him.

"Not good! Chen'er must be going to settle accounts with Duanmu Ying and others. Although his power is strong, two fists are hard to beat four hands. If Duanmu Ying teams up with the Xiahou family's powerhouse to deal with Chen'er, the consequences would be unimaginable," Xiao Hui's face dramatically changed, looking incredibly anxious.

"Don't worry, our benefactor will definitely not just stand by and watch Chen'er get killed. Remember, they are protecting us all in Chen'er's face, so they won't let anything happen to Chen'er," Ye Ming couldn't help but comfort Xiao Hui.

"Huh! Lass, I sensed Ye Chen's aura. Our useless son-in-law actually returned alive from the Immortal Secret Realm." In the Ancient Forest of Dragon Elephant Peak, a mysterious old man wearing a Bronze Mask trembled violently with an incredibly shocked expression.
