Chapter 633
“Ye Li! Ye Tian! Come back with us? The Great King has promised you that as long as you are willing to return, the position of Prime Minister and General of the Yao State will be yours. You will be second only to the Great King and above ten thousand others in the Yao State, so why must you flee? Lord Marquis Weiyuan is in the hands of our Great King. If you leave, I am afraid…”
Hundreds of miles outside Yao City, a group of people surrounded Ye Li and Ye Tian. The leader was none other than Chen Bowen, who stared at the two men in the centre with a mocking expression.
The two men in the centre were none other than members of the Ye family. Apart from the Ye family servants, they were Ye Chu’s second uncle and his eldest son. Chen Bowen was now leading numerous cultivators to surround them in the centre.
“Chen Bowen, you betray your country for glory, but my Ye family will not. Today, even if we die, I will not hand over the secret of the Yao State.” Ye Tian shouted, his aura swelling and sweeping towards Chen Bowen.
“Ye Tian, I know you are very strong and have had constant fortuitous encounters over the past year or two. But you are no match for the Great King, and you cannot escape. The Great King will catch up soon, so where can you possibly run?” Chen Bowen said. “A wise man submits to circumstances. You should bow down and submit. As long as you hand over that secret, your Ye family will become the number one family in the entire Yao State. In the future, when the Great King leaves the Yao State, your Ye family might even take the throne, so why refuse?”
Ye Tian stared dead at Chen Bowen without speaking, his fists tightly clenched. His aura vibrated, and a voice burst from his throat: “Get lost!”
Chen Bowen’s face turned iron blue, looking terribly ugly, and he glared at Ye Tian with intense viciousness. Years ago, Ye Chu had made him lose all face, and he had been thinking of revenge ever since. Since he could not find Ye Chu, he could only take his revenge on the Ye family.
“Good! Good! This young master will destroy you first today, and then go destroy Ye Chu!” Chen Bowen stared dead at Ye Tian, the corners of his mouth extremely cold.
“Ye Chu could completely suppress you back then, and he can do the same now. Hmph, you think you can destroy us relying on your fawning nature? You are dreaming.” Ye Tian sneered. “Although you reached the Profound Fate Realm with his help, your foundation is unstable and your realm is not high. How can you be my match?”
Chen Bowen laughed loudly, and a long halberd suddenly appeared in his hand: “Relying on this!”
“A Sun and Moon Artefact!” Ye Tian’s father, Ye Li, was horrified, his face turning pale as his body began to tremble.
“How about it? If you surrender now, I might still let you off!” Chen Bowen looked at Ye Tian and Ye Li with a beaming smile, a hint of coldness at the corners of his mouth.
“Thinking this can scare me, you are vastly underestimating me.” Ye Tian suddenly smiled. “I forgot to tell you, three days ago, I stepped into the seventh level of the Profound Fate Realm, entering the upper tier. Do you think you can do anything to me with just one Sun and Moon Artefact?”
As Ye Tian spoke, his figure suddenly leaped, covering a vast distance, and struck straight at Chen Bowen with a palm carrying terrifying power. This palm strike created a terrifying momentum. Chen Bowen’s expression changed drastically. He used the Sun and Moon Artefact combined with his own power to block, but he was still forced back several steps, his face turning pale.
“Upper tier Profound Fate Realm!”
Chen Bowen was terrified in his heart, showing a look of disbelief. He had not expected Ye Tian’s strength to surge so quickly. He was able to reach the fifth level of the Profound Fate Realm only because several Great Kings used various resources, and even spared no effort to use their own power to help him reach this stage.
But Ye Tian relied entirely on himself to reach this stage. If not for the drastic changes in the Yao State, with Ye Tian’s current strength, he would be enough to look down upon the entire Yao State, becoming the strongest figure in the Yao State in the past century.
Holding the Sun and Moon Artefact, Chen Bowen also felt a trace of fear in his heart at this moment. Ye Tian possessed the strength of the upper tier Profound Fate Realm, making it difficult for him to resist even with the Sun and Moon Artefact. Because this Sun and Moon Artefact originally had a low compatibility with him, coupled with his unstable foundation, it gave him a fatal weakness.
“Block him, kill him!” Chen Bowen ordered the people who followed him, roaring continuously.
Ye Tian snorted coldly, his figure shooting out explosively. His power vibrated as he charged straight at Chen Bowen. Chen Bowen was the leader of these people. To capture the bandits, first capture the king. If Chen Bowen was taken down, these people would naturally retreat without attacking.
The gap between Chen Bowen and Ye Tian was too large. After blocking a few moves from Ye Tian, Chen Bowen could no longer hold the Sun and Moon Artefact. It flew directly out of his hand, smashing into a massive boulder and sticking into it, shaking continuously.
Without the assistance of a weapon, Chen Bowen was even less of a match for Ye Tian. He was struck hard in the chest by Ye Tian’s palm, spitting out blood as he was smashed violently into the ground, creating a large crater.
Chen Bowen spat out a few mouthfuls of blood. Watching Ye Tian walk towards him step by step, his face showed a look of horror, and he shouted in terror: “If you kill me, the Great King and the others will not let you go. You will definitely die.”
Ye Tian showed no mercy, stomping his foot hard on Chen Bowen’s throat. Chen Bowen instantly lost his breath, his eyes wide open, dying with his eyes unblinking.
Ye Tian had deep affection for the Yao State and generally did not kill the people of the Yao State. However, if someone did inhumane things to the Yao State, he did not mind going on a killing spree. Killing was something he could do too.
With Chen Bowen killed, the group of people who were originally hunting Ye Tian immediately panicked, running around in terror.
“Get lost!” Ye Tian did not kill them, but shouted a reprimand, causing these people to scramble and flee in even greater panic.
Seeing this, Ye Li also breathed a sigh of relief, a trace of pride appearing on his face. This was his son.
Thinking of the person who had been driven out of the Ye family, he thought to himself that although that person was slightly stronger than Ye Tian back then, could he still compare to Ye Tian now? He was probably left far behind by Ye Tian. A piece of trash is a piece of trash, and can never compare to the most talented person in the Ye family. How he had treated him back then was definitely not a misjudgement.
“Father! Let us go!” Ye Tian shouted to Ye Li. Since Chen Bowen had chased them this far, that person was probably not far away either. They had to escape quickly. Fear…
Ye Li nodded, and he and Ye Tian hurried to flee. However, what they feared most came to pass. Before they had even run a hundred metres, a figure stood in front of them. Seeing this figure, Ye Tian’s expression changed drastically, his face draining of all colour.
“Why have you stopped running?” The person standing in front of them looked at the Ye father and son with an amused expression, like a cat playing with a mouse.
Ye Tian gritted his teeth, his aura erupting completely. The aura of the upper tier Profound Fate Realm was astonishing, yet it could not shake the other party in the slightest. Ye Tian was not surprised by this at all, because the other party was too strong. He had reached the King realm. How could he possibly shake someone who had reached the King realm?
But even so, Ye Tian had no choice and could only fight to the death.
“Just hand over the item. The entire Yao State will be yours. Why must you resist so stubbornly?” The cultivator standing in front of Ye Tian said indifferently.
“Even if I die, you will not get that item,” Ye Tian said, staring at the other party. “That is the supreme treasure of the Yao State, and it will absolutely not fall into your hands.”
“But that is not up to you!” the other party smiled. “If you insist on being like this, I am afraid you will be exter…”
Just as this person was about to say exterminate the Ye clan, a few dissatisfied complaints reached his ears: “You say you are a princess with a peerless status, so why are you following me? This young master is still a virgin. If you follow me, how am I supposed to pick up girls…”
This dissatisfied and frivolous complaint made everyone present pause for a moment. Their gazes turned to one spot, where a young man was seen taking lazy steps. In his hand, he held a cute, crystal clear white fox that looked like jade. He complained dissatisfiedly while teasing it, his hands wandering all over its body. The scene was bizarre and attracted the attention of everyone…
