Inside a resplendent palace of the Ye Family Mansion, Ye Kun stood frozen in place, his eyes filled with intense shock and disbelief.
Even the strategist Jiang He beside him had his eyes wide open, feeling a chill running down his spine.
"Damn! How can this be? Wasn't Ye Ming's Dantian about to shatter? How could he still cripple Luo Tong?" It took Ye Kun a considerable moment to recover from his shock, his face looking extremely grim.
"It's rumored that Ye Ming's cultivation has already reached the Ninth Layer of the Gang Qi Realm, much stronger than before. Even Luo Tong has no chance of fighting back against him," the short elder Jiang He said with a trembling voice.
"What? Ninth Layer of the Gang Qi Realm!" Ye Kun couldn't help but gasp, feeling a chill from head to toe.
With his cultivation only at the Fourth Layer of the Gang Qi Realm, much weaker than Luo Tong, if Ye Ming wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as flipping a hand.
So, at this moment, his heart was filled with unprecedented fear and worry, dreading the possibility of Ye Ming coming to kill him.
"Patriarch, for your safety, you must quickly find a place to hide. Otherwise, if Ye Ming comes knocking, the consequences will be unimaginable," Jiang He said, his face losing all color, his expression incredibly tense.
"You're right, I'll leave the Ye Mansion right away to write to Lin'er for assistance." Ye Kun said urgently, looking extremely embarrassed, like a frightened bird.
Time flies.
Two hours later, Ye Ming returned with a seriously injured Luo Tong and the Luo Family's Grand Elder to the Ancient Forest where Ye Chen was located.
"Foster father is back." Ye Chen suddenly opened his eyes, his expression filled with excitement.
After two hours of cultivation, he had opened up another Sea of Qi, now possessing thirty-four Seas of Qi in his Dantian.
Such cultivation speed is truly terrifying, and even if word got out, no one would dare to believe it.
"Chen'er, I have captured Luo Tong." A moment later, Ye Ming came to Ye Chen's side, throwing Luo Tong fiercely onto the ground.
Ah!
Originally unconscious, Luo Tong was awakened by the pain, letting out a piercing scream.
Now, his meridians were completely shattered, and even his Dantian was smashed by Ye Ming, making him no different from a cripple.
"Hmph! Luo Tong, you colluded with Ye Kun, almost killing my foster father. Now, karma has finally caught up with you! This is all your own doing," Ye Chen said with a cold smile, feeling a sense of satisfaction.
"Ye Chen, you worthless wretch, don't celebrate too soon. You've offended Duanmu Jie, and no one in this world can save you," Luo Tong said, glaring at Ye Chen with distorted features, looking extremely ferocious.
"Since you're about to die, I'll tell you a secret. Your son Luo Xing has already died by my hand," Ye Chen said calmly.
"What? Xing'er was killed by you, Ye Chen, I curse you to die a miserable death," Luo Tong roared with extreme anger, his expression filled with malice.
No wonder his son Luo Xing never returned to the Luo Family; it turned out he was killed by Ye Chen.
If it weren't for Ye Chen telling him, he would never have known the truth in his lifetime.
"Chen'er, this is the Luo Family's Grand Elder. I also captured him alive. I wonder if he would be of any help to you?" Ye Ming threw the body of the Luo Family Grand Elder onto the ground, smiling slightly at Ye Chen.
"Yes, of course, he's helpful. Any Qi Dao Master in the Gang Qi Realm is of great help to me," Ye Chen said with a hint of joy.
Typically, those who enter the Gang Qi Realm have already awakened their bloodline power.
Moreover, their bloodline has gradually matured, growing richer than when they first awakened.
So, if Ye Chen can devour their bloodline, he can gain at least dozens of evolutionary power points.
For him, this is indeed very beneficial.
"Patriarch, could that corpse be the Duanmu Family's expert?" At this moment, the Luo Family's Grand Elder's pupils suddenly shrunk with extreme shock.
He discovered that in the depths of the Ancient Forest lay a corpse of a black-robed elder, eerily similar to the expert sent by Duanmu Jie.
"Ye Ming, did you kill Elder Ge? You're finished; the Duanmu Family's experts are not someone you can afford to offend. Just wait to go to hell," Luo Tong said fiercely.
"No, I didn't kill him; it was Chen'er," Ye Ming said calmly.
"No, that's impossible. Ye Chen, a worthless wretch like him, could never kill Elder Ge. Elder Ge could easily crush Ye Chen with just a finger," Luo Tong trembled violently, unwilling to believe Ye Ming's words.
"Enough, foster father, you can take your revenge now." Ye Chen's eyes suddenly shot out a terrifying cold light.
"Hmm!" Ye Ming nodded.
Whoosh.
In the next moment, a violent surge of Gang Qi burst forth from Ye Ming's body, coalescing into a Gang Qi palm that slammed fiercely towards Luo Tong's chest.
Ah!
The piercing scream instantly echoed through the Ancient Forest.
Under Ye Ming's attack, Luo Tong's heart shattered instantly, completely dead.
Before he died, his eyes were wide open, filled with deep resentment and despair.
"No, don't kill me." The Grand Elder of the Luo Family on the side was so terrified that he pleaded with Ye Ming.
But Ye Ming was unmoved, killing the Grand Elder of the Luo Family with one swift palm strike.
The Luo Family has always been a deadly rival of the Ye Family, trying innumerable times to swallow them up.
If it weren't for Ye Ming, the Ye Family would have long been unable to sustain itself.
But now, with Luo Tong and the Grand Elder of the Luo Family dead, the Luo Family is completely finished and could no longer compete with the Ye Family and the Xiao Family.
"Devour them." As he looked at Luo Tong and the Grand Elder's corpses, Ye Chen activated the power of the Evolution Divine Tower.
In the next moment, the bloodline power within Luo Tong and the Grand Elder was absorbed into the Evolution Divine Tower, quickly converted to Evolutionary Power.
"Oh? Luo Tong's bloodline power can be converted into sixty points of Evolutionary Power, more than the old man in black robes. With this, I have over a hundred points of Evolutionary Power." Ye Chen couldn't help but be pleased.
After absorbing the bloodline power of Luo Tong and the Grand Elder, Ye Chen gained a total of ninety points of Evolutionary Power.
Among them, sixty points were converted from Luo Tong's bloodline power.
The other thirty points came from the Grand Elder's bloodline power.
Now, the Evolution Divine Tower holds a total of one hundred and forty points of Evolutionary Power, enough to elevate Ye Chen's Divine Soul Talent to the next level.
"Godfather, as the Patriarch of the Luo Family, Luo Tong might be carrying something valuable; it would be a shame not to take it." Ye Chen said with a slight smile.
"I remember Luo Tong had a set of lower grade spiritual artifacts, three flying sabers; I wonder if he has them on him." As Ye Ming spoke, he began searching Luo Tong's body.
"Found them." Shortly after, Ye Ming recovered three flying sabers from Luo Tong's body.
The sabers glowed with a ghostly green light, their edges lethally sharp, sending chills down one's spine.
Even Ye Chen felt a significant threat emanating from them.
These three flying sabers could probably pierce even his Human Emperor Body.
"Chen'er, these flying sabers are of no use to me; carry them for your protection." Ye Ming said with a smile.
Be aware that the price of lower grade spiritual artifacts is extremely high; even the worst costs at least a hundred thousand ordinary spirit stones.
And the set of flying sabers on Luo Tong, crafted from rare Profound Copper, is valued much higher than ordinary lower grade spiritual artifacts.
If sold, they might fetch fifty thousand ordinary spirit stones.
Yet Ye Ming hesitated not to give them to Ye Chen.
It shows how much he loves Ye Chen.
"Master, this set of lower grade spiritual artifacts is very helpful to you; accept it. If you can cultivate your Divine Soul to the Second Layer Exorcism Realm, you can use Telekinesis to wield them and unleash strong power," the Tower Spirit said.
"Hmm!" Ye Chen nodded and accepted the set of flying sabers from Ye Ming.
Next, Ye Ming recovered two silver cards from Luo Tong and the Grand Elder, each engraved with a Divine Cauldron emblem.
This took Ye Chen by surprise.
"Godfather, what are these silver cards for? I found one on that old codger too," Ye Chen curiously asked.
