"Oh! He actually came back alive. It seems our useless son-in-law's luck is really good!" In the Ancient Forest, the black-clothed girl wearing a black veil couldn't help but sneer, her mouth filled with a thick sense of mockery.

In fact, she had been hoping Ye Chen wouldn't come out of the Immortal Secret Realm alive.

If that happened, the marriage contract between Ye Chen and her lady could be annulled.

By then, her lady could go in search of her true destined partner. Given her lady's status and talent, she could undoubtedly find someone a thousand times better than this useless Ye Chen to be her Dao companion.

Regrettably, this useless Ye Chen's strength wasn't great, but his luck was quite good, to come out alive from the Immortal Secret Realm.

This made the black-clothed girl feel somewhat disappointed.

"Alas! If he had died in the Immortal Secret Realm, it would have been a good thing for our lady. Alas, it seems he's destined to live. Since he has returned alive, we have the duty to protect him safely, after all, no matter how useless he is, he is our son-in-law." The mysterious elder wearing a Bronze Mask sighed.

"Once he's under my watch, I won't allow anyone to kill him. Come, let's follow him and take a look." The black-clothed girl nodded, her tone incredibly assertive and domineering.

Whoosh!

The next moment, her figure flashed and instantly disappeared in place.

"Look quickly, isn't that Ye Chen? My god! He actually came back alive from the Immortal Secret Realm, how is that possible?" At this time, a student couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment at the entrance of Profound Sword Peak, looking like they've seen a ghost.

Not knowing when, a young man in white had already appeared at the foot of Profound Sword Peak, with terrifying killing intent surging all over him, like a god of death walking among men.

This young man in white was exactly Ye Chen.

"Humph! Even if this waste somehow came back alive from the Immortal Secret Realm, so what? The War King Hall has already been taken over by the Lu Family, he is no longer the Hall Master of the War King Hall. If he dares to act recklessly here, the Peak Master will surely let him die without a burial place." A student from the Duanmu Family couldn't help but sneer, looking at Ye Chen as if watching a clown.

"Tell me, is that wench Duanmu Ying at the Profound Sword Peak?" At this moment, Ye Chen's figure flickered, instantly appearing before the group of students, coldly speaking to them.

"Bold waste! Dare to speak rudely to our Peak Master, who gave you the guts? Don't you know you're no longer the Hall Master of the War King Hall? This place is not somewhere a waste like you can act recklessly." The student from the Duanmu Family couldn't help but rebuke Ye Chen loudly.

"Noisy." Cold glints shot out from Ye Chen's eyes involuntarily.

Thud.

The next moment, a massive surge of Celestial Spirits surged out from Ye Chen's body, like an Ancient Divine Mountain pressing down from above that student's head!

Ah!

A piercing scream echoed out from the student's mouth instantly, sounding frighteningly eerie.

Both his legs were completely shattered, and he knelt on the ground, letting out heart-wrenching howls.

"I'll ask again, where is that wench Duanmu Ying?" Ye Chen looked coldly at the other students.

His time now was extremely limited.

If he rashly went to Duanmu Ying's residence, only to find she wasn't there, wouldn't that be a waste of time?

Thus, he decided to first ask these Profound Sword Peak students.

"Our Peak Master is at the Profound Sword Peak." Those students, already scared soulless by Ye Chen's methods, quickly replied.

"Duanmu Ying, today, I must avenge Elder Ouyang." Ye Chen's teeth clenched tightly together, speaking with an icy tone.

"Ye Chen, you damned waste, you really dare crush my legs. Do you honestly think you can do as you please with a bit of strength? Now, the Ouyang Family has been exterminated by the Xiahou Family, even the War King Hall has been taken over by the Lu Family. I'll see who can protect a waste like you." The student from the Duanmu Family roared angrily at Ye Chen, his facial features all twisted together.

"What did you say? The Ouyang Family has been exterminated, how hateful, I'm still late." Ye Chen's pupils suddenly contracted violently, his face instantly turning more dreadful than a corpse.

In fact, when his foster father told him the Xiahou Family might act against the Ouyang Family last night, an ominous premonition had already formed in Ye Chen's heart.

However, he had been willing to believe that a miracle might happen.

But now, even that one shred of fantasy in his heart had completely shattered.

"Waste, even if you arrived a day earlier, what could you do? You think you can stop the Xiahou Family from exterminating the Ouyang Family, you're just dreaming. You don't even know your own worth. The strong men of the Xiahou Family could crush you like an ant!" The student from the Duanmu Family couldn't help but sneer, his mouth brimming with thick sarcasm.

Thud!

Just then, a dark cyan Sword Qi suddenly shot out from Ye Chen's body, instantly piercing through the student's head, killing him on the spot.

Whoosh.

Right after, Ye Chen's body left a trailing shadow in the air, like a Flood Dragon, soaring toward the top of Profound Sword Peak at high speed.

Since he had already confirmed that the wench Duanmu Ying was indeed at her residence.

Then today, he definitely couldn't let that wench live any longer.

No matter if it's for Ouyang Zhong or for his adoptive father and mother, he must kill Duanmu Ying.

"Oh heavens! Ye Chen returned alive from the Immortal Secret Realm, just now many students saw him." As Ye Chen headed towards Profound Sword Peak, the news of his return to Celestial Flame Academy spread rapidly throughout the academy.

Because quite a few students at Celestial Flame Academy saw Ye Chen's figure.

"What? How is this possible?"

"He offended Fairy Lin'Er and Senior Brother Chu Feng, yet he managed to return alive? Could it be he didn't enter the Immortal Secret Realm?" The students of Celestial Flame Academy could hardly believe their ears.

In their view, it was absolutely impossible for Ye Chen to return alive from the Immortal Secret Realm this time.

After all, his strength was far too weak to possibly compete with Ye Lin'Er and Chu Feng.

Once he entered the Immortal Secret Realm, Ye Lin'Er and Chu Feng would definitely not spare him.

But now, he actually returned alive to Celestial Flame Academy.

This is simply too incredible.

"Hmph! Who would have thought, this worthless fool actually has a tough life. He must have been hiding in some corner of the Immortal Secret Realm and dared not show himself, so he escaped disaster; otherwise, he would have already died at Ye Lin'Er and Chu Feng's hands." In a palace on Celestial Flame Peak, a woman in white coldly stated.

This woman's name was Liu Xin.

At the beginning, she and Ouyang Xue went to Kunzhou Prefecture together to recruit this batch of students, including Ye Chen.

However, she repeatedly made things difficult for Ye Chen during the recruitment assessments.

"I heard Ye Chen is heading towards Profound Sword Peak, it seems he already knows Ouyang Xue was captured by Master of Profound Sword Peak." A strong cultivator from Celestial Flame Peak said.

"Ha! And what of it? Does this worthless fool think he has the ability to rescue Ouyang Xue from Master of Profound Sword Peak? Truly delusional." Liu Xin couldn't help but sneer, her eyes full of deep mockery.

"The person wanting to kill Ouyang Xue isn't just the Master of Profound Sword Peak, but also the strong cultivators from the Xiahou Family. Ye Chen going to Profound Sword Peak to rescue Ouyang Xue is like a moth flying into the flame; this time, he's undoubtedly also doomed." The strong cultivator from Celestial Flame Peak had a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, with an expression of watching a good show.

"Well, let's go and see then." Liu Xin said with a look of schadenfreude.

Her relationship with Ouyang Xue was always poor, so she was truly happy that the Ouyang Family was wiped out by the Xiahou Family this time.

As for that worthless Ye Chen, last time he dared to break into their Celestial Flame Peak and killed an Elder and a Seed Student.

So naturally Liu Xin wished that he would be crushed to death by Duanmu Ying and the strong cultivators of the Xiahou Family.

Swish swish swish.

Soon after, the cultivators from Celestial Flame Peak and Soul Palace rapidly hurried towards Profound Sword Peak.

If it were usual times, they certainly couldn't casually rush into Profound Sword Peak's territory.

However, this time the situation was quite special.

Ye Chen was no longer the Hall Master of War King Hall yet still dared to forcibly enter Profound Sword Peak, which clearly violated the regulations of Celestial Flame Academy.

Hence, the strong cultivators from other factions also had the right to go to Profound Sword Peak to help capture Ye Chen.

"Patriarch, the original Hall Master of War King Hall, Ye Chen, has returned from the Immortal Secret Realm to Celestial Flame Academy. Should we go and meet him?" At this time, above the main peak of War King Hall, a strong cultivator from the Lu Family reported to the Patriarch of Lu Family.

"I heard that Ye Chen is a worthless person unable to awaken even his bloodline, yet dares oppose Master of Profound Sword Peak. I want to see what sort of three heads and six arms he has." The Patriarch of Lu Family couldn't help but sneer, looking extremely disdainful.

Swish swish swish.

Soon after, he led the strong cultivators of the Lu Family and headed towards Profound Sword Peak.

This time, his main purpose in seeing Ye Chen was naturally not out of admiration for Ye Chen, but to demand the Hall Master Seal of War King Hall from him.

After all, only by acquiring the Hall Master Seal could one truly be considered the Hall Master of War King Hall.

Without the Hall Master Seal, his position as Hall Master would be somewhat unworthy of the title.

So today, no matter what method was used, Ye Chen would have to hand over the Hall Master Seal.

"Our Hall Master has returned from the Immortal Secret Realm."

"Alas! Unfortunately, he arrived a moment too late, the Ouyang Family was already annihilated by the Xiahou Family."

"I heard Teacher Ouyang is not dead yet, hopefully, the Hall Master can rescue Teacher Ouyang." The students of War King Hall sighed upon hearing the news of Ye Chen's return.

Ouyang Xue always treated the students of War King Hall well.

Thus, everyone truly hoped she wouldn't die at the hands of the strong cultivators from the Xiahou Family.
