In the grand hall, Ye Chen's body was shaking violently, his eyes turning blood-red as if he was a beast that had lost its reason.

In his mind, the image of a middle-aged man appeared.

This middle-aged man was extremely burly, with a thick beard, resembling a Divine Lion that commanded respect without anger.

He was Ye Chen's grandfather, Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan was a rare genius of the Divine Spirit Family's Ye Clan, with an extremely fiery temperament, who had once exterminated many powerful enemies for the Ye Clan, earning countless meritorious deeds.

In the eyes of the world, he was a terrifying Iron-blooded War God.

But in Ye Chen's eyes, he was an immensely kind elder.

From the moment Ye Chen was born, he had always cherished him, spending time with him whenever he could.

Thus, whenever Ye Chen thought of his grandfather, his heart would feel warm.

But now, the black-clad girl was telling him that his grandfather was in trouble.

This made his heart plunge into an icy abyss.

"My grandfather has unparalleled fighting power, how could anything happen to him? This cannot be true." Ye Chen kept shaking his head, unable to accept the truth before him.

"Ye Chen, your grandfather was suppressed by the strong ones of the Ye Clan. After he learned of the news of your mother's death, he rushed back to the Ye Clan, seeking justice for her, but in the end, the Ye Clan used forceful means to suppress him. Since then, he has been imprisoned in the Ye Clan's Celestial Prison, never appearing before the world again." The black-clad girl sighed.

The Ouyang Clan had been under Ye Xuan's protection before, which was why the Tuoba Clan did not dare to touch them.

So, the black-clad girl held immense respect for Ye Chen's grandfather.

Unfortunately, this Iron-blooded War God ended up with such a pitiful fate, which was truly lamentable.

"Damn it! Truly damnable! My grandfather made countless contributions for the Ye Clan, and this is how they repay him?" Ye Chen's fists clenched tightly, emitting an ear-piercing crackling sound, his chest filled with anger.

His grandfather had long been fighting outside, killing numerous strong enemies for the Ye Clan, even suffering severe injuries multiple times.

Yet, for the Ye Clan, he always remained without complaint.

But the Ye Clan! How did they treat his grandfather?

His grandfather merely sought justice for Ye Chen's mother but was ruthlessly suppressed by the Ye Clan's strong ones, imprisoned in the Celestial Prison for so many years.

This behavior was truly outrageous.

"I've heard, your grandfather refuses to yield even unto death, enduring all kinds of torture in the Celestial Prison. If you want to rescue your grandfather, you must be more determined and stop being so cowardly! Unfortunately, you can't awaken your bloodline, and no matter how hard you try, you can't possibly overcome the Ye Clan in this lifetime, let alone rescue your grandfather." The black-clad girl shook her head, looking at him with disappointment.

"Ye Clan, one day, I will make you pay in blood for what you owe." Ye Chen gritted his teeth, his facial features twisted, appearing exceptionally menacing.

At this moment, he truly yearned for power.

Only by possessing power could he rescue his grandfather and avenge his mother.

He swore, anyone who harmed his grandfather and mother would not be spared.

"At least you have some spirit, although your current strength is weak, there is still a glimmer of hope for revenge if you can awaken your bloodline." Seeing the flames of vengeance burning in Ye Chen's eyes, the black-clad girl's tone softened.

It seemed that her good-for-nothing son-in-law was not beyond redemption.

As long as he still had the desire for revenge, he could be guided to grow stronger step by step.

What was truly concerning was if he lost even the will for revenge, then he would be truly useless.

"By the way, where is your young lady? Where is she now?" After a long moment, Ye Chen calmed his emotions and inquired of the black-clad girl.

Shangguan Zitong was his arranged betrothed, who often played with him in childhood, bringing him many fond memories.

In Ye Chen's heart, she still held a place.

Thus, Ye Chen was eager to know her current situation.

"Our young lady is now a disciple of the Ziwei Sacred Land and highly valued by its top echelons, so much so that even the Tuoba Clan dares not touch her!" The black-clad girl proclaimed proudly.

Since the destruction of the Shangguan Clan by the Tuoba Clan three years ago, she and her young lady had been on the run.

Several times, they narrowly escaped being killed by the Tuoba Clan's strong ones.

Luckily, her young lady possessed extraordinary talent, awakening the Celestial Level Bloodline, and was eventually taken in by a strong one from the Ziwei Sacred Land as a disciple.

Since then, she stopped fleeing and focused her cultivation in the Ziwei Sacred Land.

"Ziwei Sacred Land? Could it be one of the Six Great Sacred Lands?" Ye Chen's body suddenly trembled, his eyes filled with astonishment.

He never imagined that the little girl in his memory, carved from jade, had become a disciple of one of the Six Great Sacred Lands.

It must be known that the Six Great Sacred Lands are the six most powerful giant forces in the world.

Even the Divine Spirit Family's Ye Clan was insignificant in comparison to the Six Great Sacred Lands.

As for ordinary Immortal Sects like Azure Sky Immortal Sect, they were nothing in the eyes of the Six Great Sacred Lands.

They probably needed only to dispatch one senior member to annihilate Azure Sky Immortal Sect.

Therefore, those who could become disciples of the Six Great Sacred Lands were exceedingly rare geniuses.

Even geniuses who awakened Earth Level Bloodline often didn't have such qualifications.

"Ye Chen, do you understand now how great the gap between you and my young lady is? Our young lady is only one or two years older than you, yet she reached the Divine Mansion Realm years ago, while you? Still just an ant in the Celestial Spirit Realm. Don't you think you're useless?" The black-clad girl shook her head, showing extreme disappointment in Ye Chen.

"Just give me a little more time, and I will soon ascend to the Divine Mansion Realm and become an Immortal." Ye Chen stated with immense confidence.

Although the black-clad girl's words were harsh, Ye Chen didn't mind.

After all, his current cultivation was indeed weak, being looked down upon by the black-clad girl was quite normal.

However, his cultivation path was gradually on track.

Given some more time, he could not only enter the Divine Mansion Realm but also catch up with his fiancée.

"Ha! Easier said than done. Without the awakening of a bloodline, even if you comprehend the True Intent, it will take at least several years to enter the Divine Mansion Realm. By then, the gap between you and our young lady will only grow larger! If I were the young lady, I would definitely break off the engagement with you, for you are unworthy of her." The black-clad girl sneered.

"Unworthy of your young lady? If Zitong really wants to break off the engagement, I wouldn't refuse. After all, everyone has their aspirations, and I wouldn't want to hold her back from a bright future." Ye Chen said casually.

Though he spent some time with Shangguan Zitong, he was very young then and didn't understand love.

Therefore, he didn't have that kind of admiration for Shangguan Zitong.

If Shangguan Zitong truly felt he was unworthy, she could always come to dissolve the engagement; he would not force the issue.

"Glad you have some self-awareness. Unfortunately, our young lady's character is too straightforward, she values promises above all. She likely wouldn't actively seek you to break off the engagement." The black-clad girl sighed helplessly.

In fact, with her young lady's unparalleled beauty and talent, finding an excellent partner would be easy as pie.

Many among the younger generation of the Divine Spirit Family admired her immensely.

Yet, her young lady remained unmoved.

Because she never forgot her engagement with Ye Chen.

Even the black-clad girl couldn't comprehend why her young lady was so persistent?

It could only be said that Ye Chen, this good-for-nothing, had incredible luck.

Cough, cough, cough!

Just then, the black-clad girl trembled suddenly, a mouthful of black blood spurting from her mouth, splattering on the White Jade Stone Bricks beneath her feet.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle.

The next moment, the White Jade Stone Bricks underneath were swiftly corroded by the eerie power contained in the blood, turning completely into green smoke.

"No, it's the Black Simurgh Evil, the girl's Black Simurgh Evil has flared up again." The mysterious elder beside her changed his expression drastically, looking extremely anxious.
