For three days, Ye Chu still went to the Warm Jade High Platform to cultivate daily. Compared to before, he appeared increasingly lazy and unremarkable, the sort who could walk down the street and no one would pay him any mind.
But the more he was like this, the deeper the crowd’s reverence for Ye Chu grew, because they knew very well that the more ordinary he appeared, the stronger his strength likely was.
Ye Chu also consumed an advancement pill, his strength rising by another level and stepping into the seventh layer of the Profound Life Realm, the spiritual energy in his qi sea surging like the sea. Having reached this level, Ye Chu had truly transformed. Even Ji Die and the others, upon seeing him, would no longer dare look at him with the eyes of years past.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, yet Zhu Fengcheng had an unbearable headache. Ye Chu truly intended to go to the Three Origin Sect. He wanted to properly explain the pros and cons, but Ye Chu simply did not give him the chance.
Just as Zhu Fengcheng felt at a loss, Ye Chu found him and said, “Ready?”
“Senior Brother!” Zhu Fengcheng gritted his teeth, disregarding the risk of angering Ye Chu. “The Three Origin Sect has a King presiding over it. Could you please reconsider?”
Ye Chu swept a glance over Zhu Fengcheng and paid him no further heed. Instead, he turned to Yang Ning and Yang Hui behind him and said, “Come with me to the Three Origin Sect.”
Having spoken, he ignored Zhu Fengcheng, turned and walked out of the elegant courtyard.
Watching the three women follow Ye Jingyun off, Zhu Fengcheng felt only extreme helplessness, his face bitter. “My ladies, are you really going along with his nonsense too?”
Zhu Fengcheng had no choice but to gather disciples and follow behind Ye Chu. But Ye Chu had no intention of acknowledging them further, chatting and laughing with the three women as if taking a stroll, completely unconcerned about the colossus he was about to face.
Ye Chu soon arrived at the Three Origin Sect’s gate. The gate was not grand, but rather had a certain charm.
His appearance immediately drew the gazes of the Three Origin Sect disciples, among them those who had fled from Red Iron Mountain. These disciples looked terrified, turning without a thought and running toward the inner courtyard.
“The youth who killed Lord Wei Tu has come.”
“Quick. Quickly go inform the three elders.”
The four of them stepped into the opposing sect’s gate. The Three Origin Sect disciples watched Ye Chu with vigilance and awe, but did not dare block them. They could only watch as Ye Chu walked in as if on a stroll.
“Go inform your sect’s three elders and say Ye Chu requests an audience.” Ye Chu shouted to the group of disciples trembling as they surrounded him.
“Then please wait a moment, sir. We will go inform the elders right away.” The group of disciples breathed a sigh of relief, quickly hurrying toward the inner courtyard. They feared Ye Chu would suddenly start killing.
Ye Chu stood waiting in place for not long before three old men wearing cyan robes with white hair walked out.
“What impressive dominance, sir. You kill my sect’s disciples and still dare come here.” After the three walked out, the leading old man let out a cold snort.
The Three Kings stared straight at Ye Chu. They knew Wei Tu’s identity very well. Now that he had died at the other’s hands, he did not even know how to account to the ancestral land. He had not expected this youth would actually dare appear here.
Originally they had lacked the ability to do anything to the other, but since he had delivered himself to their door, they could not be blamed.
“I have long heard of the great name of the Three Kings. This time walking the Proud Heavens Road, I wished to see what methods the Three Kings possess that allows them to preside over a region.” Ye Chu looked at the three old men with a smile. “Perhaps it is also an undeserved reputation.”
“Hmph.” The Three Kings snorted coldly. “On the Proud Heavens Road, the three of us truly count for little. But here, the three of us are the final word. You killed my sect’s disciples and destroyed Nephew Wei Tu. This grudge must be settled clearly.”
“What is there to say? Merely inferior skill. Killed means killed. If today I were inferior to you, I would similarly be killed by you. There is nothing worth fussing over. It is merely the law of the jungle.” Ye Chu smiled. “Do the Three Kings not think this is the logic?”
“You certainly see things clearly.” The Three Kings looked at Ye Chu. “But daring to come here now, do you have absolute confidence to oppose the three of us? Can you be certain of killing the three of us?”
“That I would not dare. The Three Kings have a King presiding, enough to rule a region. Although I have some strength, I cannot guarantee I can kill the Three Kings. Coming here this time, I merely have some confusion in my cultivation and wished to seek guidance from the Three Kings.” Ye Chu looked at the Three Kings and smiled.
These words made the Three Kings’ faces turn ashen, glaring at Ye Chu in fury. This brat was too arrogant. He wanted to use the three of them as tools for his cultivation. This was a slap in their faces.
They had dominated a region for many years. No one had ever dared treat them thus.
“Good. Good. Truly heroes emerge from youth.” The Three Kings laughed in extreme anger. “Since you wish us to guide you, we are naturally willing. Only, when the guidance costs you your life, do not blame us.”
“If you seniors can take my life, by all means take it.” Ye Chu shrugged. “However, if you cannot, your Three Origin Sect will be destroyed here.”
“What tremendous arrogance. We shall see what backing you have to speak such words.” One of them finally could not endure it, erupting first with a terrifying aura. The aura shook out, surging boundlessly, causing space to tremble unceasingly as it shook.
He wanted to strike out and seize Ye Chu, but Ye Jingyun’s figure flashed, landing before the opponent. “Last time I could not find a suitable person to exchange blows with. This time I have finally encountered one. Senior, how about guiding me?”
Ye Jingyun swept out with a pair of long legs, explosive and powerful, blocking the opponent’s strike.
Ye Jingyun currently possessed the strength of the seventh layer of the Profound Life Realm, her strength also extraordinary. Facing someone below the King level, she naturally would not fear.
Ye Chu was not worried about Ye Jingyun, looking toward the other two old men.
One of the old men, seeing Ye Jingyun block one of them, snorted coldly, leaping and shooting out, wanting to strike at Ye Chu.
Yang Hui and Yang Ning shot out from behind Ye Chu, landing before him. “Young master, leave this one to us.”
As Yang Ning spoke, her fist swung out. Together with Yang Hui, one left and one right, they blocked the opponent.
Yang Hui and Yang Ning were also extraordinary. Yang Ning’s strength had even reached the eighth layer. Although the old man they faced was terrifyingly strong, nearly stepping into the King realm, he had ultimately not yet entered it. Ye Chu was not worried about the two of them.
Watching the two old men blocked by the three women, only the King-level old man remained. Ye Chu smiled and said, “It seems you can only exchange blows with me.”
Wang Fang snorted, glancing at the women entangling his two younger brothers, his expression growing colder. He had not expected these three beautiful women, who seemed like mere vases, to be so formidable.
Compared to Wang Fang’s shock, Zhu Fengcheng and the others who had just arrived were even more wide-eyed, staring at Ye Jingyun and the others in a daze. The three women were stunningly beautiful, sexy and alluring. All along, they had treated the three women as vases Ye Chu kept. They had not expected the three to be so powerful, far surpassing them.
