Ever since Ye Chen came to the Ancient Desolate Realm, Jiu’er and Mu Caiwei were the only ones who treated him well. Not to mention Jiu’er, even though Mu Caiwei did not like him, she protected him at all times.
In order to help him obtain the so-called Heavenly Origin Fruit, she had been cultivating maniacally for the past few days, causing her to over-cultivate. She wanted to obtain first place in the martial gathering and then obtain the management rights of Spirit Fog Island.
He saw everything.
This woman had given him enough face in front of others, and she had fulfilled her duty as a wife, even if it was only in name.
He initially did not want to expose his strength, but now he had to.
“You’ve protected me many times before. Today, your husband will help you once. I’ll kill all the unyielding dogs!”
Under everyone’s gaze, Ye Chen stood with his hands behind his back. He looked directly at the Vile Valley’s Fan Hou who was on the ring. A hint of coldness flashed through his cold eyes.
As his voice fell, everyone present at the martial gathering was stunned.
Even though they were far away, they could still sense the terrifying aura that Ye Chen was emitting. It was the aura that seemed to have lowered the surrounding air by dozens of degrees.
“I heard that this guy is trash…”
“Where did this baleful aura come from? It’s as if he’s possessed by a fiend!”
At this moment, the leaders of the Blood Blade Sect, Seven Mysteries Mansion, Tianfeng City, and Vile Valley looked at each other in shock.
They still could not see through Ye Chen.
The ones who were the most shocked were none other than the people in the King Mu Fort camp. Jiu’er was stunned, ‘Y-Young master has become handsome again!”
Mu Caiwei stared blankly at the person beside her. Her mind was still blank.
Ye Chen was completely different from before.
For some reason, she felt a sense of security when she sensed Ye Chen’s aura at that moment.
At the same time, there was a sense of unfamiliarity.
King Mu looked at Ye Chen who was far away in shock. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind at that moment. His lips moved slightly, “Qianhan, you…”
Ye Chen smiled lightly, “Father-in-law, may I represent the King Mu Fort in this martial gathering?”
Although he had no idea what was going on with Ye Chen, King Mu nodded unexpectedly when he met his confident gaze.
Ye Chen swept his gaze across the entire place and eventually landed on Mu Caiwei. He said softly, “Stand aside!
“I’m here today!”
Ye Chen took a step out after saying that. He walked slowly to Fan Hou who was on the ring as his gaze landed on him.
“I’m here today!!”
Mu Caiwei’s heart was in a mess when she heard those words. She could not help but stare blankly at Ye Chen’s back.
No man had ever said that to her before!
Fan Hou could not help but shiver when he met Ye Chen’s gaze. He felt like he had been seen through.
This kind of feeling could only be felt when he faced the elders such as Vile Valley’s Monk Lan. Ye Chen might be even more powerful!
‘How is this possible?!
‘Isn’t this brat a piece of trash?
‘Where did this aura come from?’
Unexpectedly, he took a step back. Then, he flew into a rage out of humiliation and said, “You lying piece of trash, do you think you can salvage the situation like this?
“Die, brat!”
A ferocious expression flashed across Fan Hou’s face as he shouted softly. In the end, he seemed to have pierced through space as he appeared before Ye Chen instantly.
Boom…
As his figure appeared, the space around him seemed to freeze, and a fierce pressure suddenly erupted from his body.
Under such pressure, the expressions of many people in the surroundings changed drastically. They were shocked that Fan Hou was indeed at the half-step venerable stage. The pressure alone was sufficient to suppress any innate stage powerhouse.
“Fan Hou has the potential to become a martial venerable!”
“The younger generation will surpass us in time!”
At this moment, the leaders of the various forces sighed.
Someone shouted, “Look, that Shi can’t move under Fan Hou’s pressure!”
Everyone looked over immediately and realized that Ye Chen did not move when Fan Hou was less than a step away from him. It was as if he was scared out of his wits.
“I thought that guy had something to rely on from his stance. Turns out he was just putting on an act!”
“What an idiot. He stood up for a woman. He’s done for!”
“…”
Everyone was in an uproar. Some even began to laugh aloud.
Mu Caiwei’s pretty face changed, and she hurriedly looked at King Mu beside her as if asking for help, “Father?”
King Mu’s expression was terrifyingly grim as he glared at Ye Chen, “Let’s wait and see!”
Until now, he still could not see through Ye Chen because there was no spiritual energy fluctuation on Ye Chen either. He looked like an ordinary person.
‘Could this brat really be putting on an act?’
Thinking to this point, King Mu could not help but frown.
“Don’t worry, brat. After you die, Mu Caiwei will be mine. I’ll take good care of her for you!”
“Hahaha…”
Fan Hou curled his fingers slightly and swung a sharp claw at Ye Chen, who was standing still. A ferocious expression filled his face.
Sizzle…
However, just as his sharp claws were about to touch Ye Chen, he saw Ye Chen perform a hand seal all of a sudden. Invisible supernatural power was boiling at his fingertips.
At the next moment, a terrifying pale golden energy condensed at the tip of his fingers. It rapidly expanded at a visible rate, like a huge net.
In the blink of an eye, Fan Hou was completely enveloped within it.
The moment the large net appeared, the faces of City Governor Situ Yun, Blood Blade Sect’s Sect Master Feng Jingyao, Vile Valley Monk Lan, and the Seven Mysteries Mansion’s Young Master Li Hao changed.
Situ Yun seemed to have thought of something, and a wisp of astonishment appeared on his face, “T-This is a formation!”
The rest of them felt their heads buzzing!
Formation!
It was a technique that only Mystic Masters could perform!
The young master of the Seven Mysteries Mansion, Li Hao, stared fixedly at the large net that locked Fan Hou and cried out by instinct, “That brat is a Mystic Master, a grade-2 Mystic Master!”
As soon as he said that, everyone at the scene reacted. They looked at Ye Chen in disbelief again.
A Mystic Master!
Not only that, he was a grade-2 Mystic Master!
Although the strength of a grade-2 Mystic Master was comparable to a martial artist at the innate stage, a Mystic Master was more unfathomable than a martial artist. Their means were also more compelling!
Most importantly, not one in a hundred martial artists could become a Mystic Master. This showed how rare Mystic Masters were!
As a result, Mystic Masters held a much higher status than martial artists in the Ancient Desolate Realm. Every time one of them appeared, the various forces would try their best to win them over.
However, the useless King Mu Fort’s son-in-law was actually a grade-2 Mystic Master!
“A grade-2 Mystic Master…”
King Mu was completely dumbfounded. He looked at Ye Chen in disbelief, “T-This brat is a grade-2 Mystic Master?!”
