Hua City
Inside an exquisitely crafted pavilion, Long Chen was embracing a woman, who was tenderly feeding him spiritual fruits, thoroughly enjoying the moment.
Yet, even so, there was a thick shade of vexation on Long Chen’s face!
He suddenly stood up, snorted coldly, waved his hand, and directly smashed the stone table filled with spiritual fruits into pieces—venting the frustrations and dissatisfaction pent up in his heart!
How could he not be frustrated?
He, the Young Sect Master of the Dragon Origin Sect, a force of the Third-rate ranking, had knelt down before a Sealed Gate martial artist under the watchful eyes of countless others in the Battle Arena!
His reputation had been thoroughly tarnished!
But what could he do?
Ye Chen is now a disciple of a First-class force! Moreover, a disciple favored by Tu Lanxin of a First-class force—far beyond the reach of an ordinary disciple!
He could only endure!
Just then, as Long Chen’s expression shifted, he took out a Communication Jade Token.
“Lei Youwei?”
Long Chen looked at the Spiritual Radiance on the jade token, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
This Lei Youwei had once helped him out, and he had promised to lend Lei Youwei a hand in return. After the end of the selection combat competition, Lei Youwei suddenly invited him to Hua City. Given Long Chen’s humiliation in the competition and his annoying mood, he agreed to go to Hua City to unwind.
But why was this old guy contacting him now?
“It’s me, what’s up?” Long Chen picked up the jade token and shortly after, put it away, a flash of disgust and disdain in his eyes, he said coldly, “What trash, needing this Young Master to handle such a rubbish force? Fine, it just so happens that this Young Master also feels like killing to vent, so I might as well do it this once for this piece of trash.”
Having said that, Long Chen’s figure flashed and he disappeared from the pavilion.
At this moment within the Shenxuan Sect.
Shen Yong and others saw Lei Youwei put down the jade token with a cold smirk on his face, their expressions revealing extreme shock and fear!
That… was a real Third-rate force!
And it was an extremely prominent one at that!
Ordinary Divine Kingdom martial artists had no chance of approaching the people of First-class, or even Second-class forces. To them, a Third-rate force was the most formidable existence imaginable—a force capable of dominating a whole region!
Moreover, Lei Youwei’s contact wasn’t just any ordinary disciple from a Third-rate force, but the Young Sect Master of a Third-rate force!
Just the thought of it was enough to make them tremble!
According to Lei Youwei, this Sealed Gate young man comes from an ordinary Third-rate Sect?
Then, he is surely done for!
Strange, one can only blame him for being too arrogant and too unlucky!
Who could have thought that the Lei Family Patriarch could establish a connection with the Young Sect Master of a Third-rate force?
It’s simply inconceivable!
But that was the reality!
Shen Yong felt somewhat regretful; he hoped for a conflict between the Lei Family and the force behind Ye Chen, not for Ye Chen to be crushed to death by the Young Sect Master of the Dragon Origin Sect. However, this would indeed resolve the hatred in his heart!
Lei Youwei misunderstood the bizarre expression on Ye Chen’s face, thinking that the young man was finally scared. The disdainful smile on his lips grew even thicker, more convinced than ever that Ye Chen hailed from an ordinary Third-rate force!
Lei Youwei sneered, “Kid, why the silence? Scared now? Rest assured, as I said before, if you kneel and apologize, I, the elder, will forgive you, understand?”
The so-called ‘elimination of the roots’ meant to make Ye Chen realize that he messed with someone he should not provoke, to utterly subdue Ye Chen! To extinguish any courage he might have to offend oneself!
If Ye Chen were to be killed on the spot, it wouldn’t be wise since, after all, behind him stood a formidable force, didn’t it?
Even with Long Chen looking out for him, Lei Youwei couldn’t be certain of how it would affect the Lei family by pursuing this course of action.
He watched Ye Chen, growing more pleased with himself. Lei Youwei had dominated for thousands of years – did he not have some tricks up his sleeve? Did he truly think that by relying on the force behind him, he could overpower me?
Shen Yong and the others all looked towards Ye Chen, uncertain of how he would react, even Lin Yaqin’s beautiful brow was slightly furrowed.
Yet at this moment, Ye Chen wore a faint smile and retorted to Lei Youwei, “Are you so sure that Long Chen can help you?”
Upon hearing this, Lei Youwei burst into laughter as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, “Are you implying that Young Master Long’s status is beneath you?
At this hour, you still feign ignorance? Are you genuinely fearless of death? Then, spit it out, from what force do you hail? Just say the name, and not only will I not hinder you from saving that wench, but right now, I shall kneel and apologize to both you and her, how about that?”
Ye Chen looked calmly at Lei Youwei and said, “I am a disciple of the Divine Extreme Sect.”
Silence…
The moment Ye Chen’s words fell, the atmosphere at the Shenxuan Sect’s arena froze as if even the wind had ceased.
However, this silence lasted less than a breath…
The next moment, the Shenxuan Sect erupted into an uproar of laughter!
Thunderous, earth-shattering laughter!
Laughter from the entire Lei family!
The loudest among them was Lei Youwei, who guffawed so hard that he almost bent over to the ground!
If this kid was going to pretend, at least make it somewhat believable!
Had Ye Chen claimed to be from a Third-rate or even Second-rate sect, Lei Youwei might have given it some thought, but a disciple from a First-class force?
Heh…
Did they look like fools to be so easily deceived?
It seemed that this kid had gone overboard in his arrogance, not without reason, but because his mind was troubled.
Shen Yong and the others shook their heads slightly, saddened that Ye Chen had overplayed his hand and was only bringing shame upon himself.
Even they, aware of such a force’s existence, knew what a First-class force entailed, let alone Lei Youwei?
Ye Chen’s act was nothing but self-humiliation.
Even a pig could see that Ye Chen was bluffing!
Even Lin Yaqin’s gaze shifted slightly, and within her beautiful eyes were shades of darkness and disappointment.
She didn’t wish to distrust Ye Chen, but clearly, he was stating an impossibility; after all, she knew Ye Chen’s background better than anyone else, aware that not too long ago, he was just a martial artist from the Lingwu Continent. Already it was a miracle for him to have reached the Divine Kingdom, so how could he have joined a First-class sect?
And she despised those men who boasted and postured the most.
She even began to doubt, had she misjudged him?
Was Ye Chen not the man she had envisioned but just a shameless pretender quite adept at feigning?
Finally, Lei Youwei contained his laughter and said to Ye Chen with a smile, “Kid, if you’ve never seen a First-class top sect, don’t pretend to belong to one, alright?
Do you think just because you have some talent and strength that surpasses your realm, anyone will believe in your lies? Do you know the entry requirements for a First-class Sect disciple?
Even the servant disciples there are of the Great Void division! And you, Sealed Gate’s trash, claiming to be a disciple of a First-class sect? Are you trying to laugh me to death?”
