With Ye Chu sitting in charge here, the Seventh Prince and the others naturally did not dare to resist. They were soon truly beaten up like pigs, bruised and swollen, to the point that no one could recognise anyone else.
After venting all his past grievances, Pang Shao finally let go. Having snatched the Sun and Moon Artefact from the Seventh Prince, he patted his backside and swaggered away with his group.
Ye Chu looked at the arrogant group and thought to himself that these people were indeed still rich playboys, having not changed at all.
Since Ye Chu arrived, Huang Lin had been clinging to him constantly. Holding onto his arm, her soft chest occasionally brushed against him. Even though Ye Chu had no such thoughts about her, the friction still made him feel a bit restless.
“Brother Ye Chu, how did you become so strong? You have no idea, ever since Pang Shao became a King, he has been showing off in front of us every day, thinking he is so powerful. He even threatened to challenge you when he sees you.” Huang Lin pouted her rosy lips and said disdainfully, “He does not even look at his own demeanour, yet he dares to compare himself to Brother Ye Chu.”
“I did not!” Pang Shao hurriedly denied it as soon as he saw Ye Chu looking at him. What a joke, seeing how strong Ye Chu was, saying such things was just asking for a beating.
Ye Chu had no intention of holding a grudge against Pang Shao either. He glanced at him and thought that this guy actually had a good foundation, with very thick spiritual energy, making him a promising talent.
Glancing at the others, he found that they had all undergone transformations to varying degrees. If they were truly given enough resources to cultivate, they could also become prominent figures in their own regions.
Huang Lin in particular possessed such strong talent that it even surprised Ye Chu. She actually had a Sacred Beast talent.
“Ye Chu, how strong is your current strength? You have reached the Emperor realm, right?” Pang Shao asked curiously from the side, clicking his tongue in amazement. He thought to himself that after not seeing him for a long time, Ye Chu had actually become heaven defying to this extent.
Liang Shan curled his lips from the side at this moment, “What Emperor realm, Ye Chu has already reached the Xuanhua Realm!”
“Tch!” Pang Shao curled his lips disdainfully, thinking that there must be a limit to bragging.
Seeing that they did not believe him, Liang Shan told the group about the events at the Cold Lake. After hearing this, the group swallowed their saliva, looked at Ye Chu, and said, “Could it be that he has truly reached the Xuanhua Realm?”
Ye Chu smiled and did not answer, but this attitude of his instantly made Pang Shao and the others feel like fainting.
“Damn it, I trained myself to death, hoping to compete with you, and you are actually this strong. What the hell am I still cultivating for?” Pang Shao grabbed his hair and roared.
Ye Chu shrugged, looked at Pang Shao and the group, and asked, “By the way, have you had any contact with Qing Wenting?”
Seeing Ye Chu asking about Qing Wenting, Pang Shao shook his head and said, “She only gave us one message, saying she was going into secluded cultivation, and there has been no news since then. We do not know how she is doing.”
Hearing this news, Ye Chu shook his head. He thought to himself that absorbing the essence of the Great General would probably be difficult, otherwise, after such a long time, there would not be a complete lack of news.
“Do you also have no news of Her Highness the Saintess?” Pang Shao asked.
“That little wench has had no news since she left, and I do not know if she is dead or alive!” Ye Chu said, shaking his head.
Hearing Ye Chu say this, the group pretended not to hear. In this world, only Ye Chu would dare to call Qing Wenting a little wench.
“Brother Ye Chu, how long will you stay in the Imperial Capital this time?” Huang Lin asked clingily, holding onto Ye Chu’s arm.
“I will stay for a while!” Ye Chu said with a smile. It was rare to come here and see these old friends again, making Ye Chu feel joyful.
“Great!” Huang Lin immediately clapped her hands. “Hehe, with Brother Ye Chu here, we can get back at everyone in the Imperial Capital who has bullied us, and let them know that we cannot be messed with.”
Huang Lin was extremely excited. In the past, without a strong expert in charge, they always acted timidly and could not have enough fun. Now that she knew Ye Chu was actually in the Xuanhua Realm, would they not be able to walk unhindered through the Imperial Capital?
As long as the older generation did not appear, who could be Ye Chu’s opponent? Even if the older generation did appear, there were not many who could rival Ye Chu.
The Imperial Capital would be their world.
Seeing Huang Lin’s excited expression, Ye Chu felt infected as well, as if he had returned to the days when he caused a huge ruckus in the Imperial Capital.
“Alright, we will properly teach that bunch of bastards a lesson these days, and let them know our dominance.” Ye Chu also laughed heartily, stroking Huang Lin’s hair.
…
Thus, for the next few days, the entire Imperial Capital was in utter chaos. Huang Lin and her group were already the kind of people who feared nothing but a peaceful world, and with Ye Chu as their powerful backer, they were even more fearless. It was as if they were going to overturn the entire Imperial Capital.
Of course, some people resisted, but after being thrown into a cesspool, no one dared to oppose Huang Lin and her group again.
Huang Lin, Pang Shao, and their group began to sweep through the Imperial Capital, bullying every single person they had disliked over the years.
In the end, the people of the Imperial Capital reached a state of terror at the mere mention of their names. As soon as any name like Huang Lin or Pang Shao appeared, they would scramble and flee in a panic.
After turning the entire Imperial Capital upside down, Huang Lin and the others laughed heartily. Ye Chu looked at the messy places they had messed up and also laughed continuously.
Such joyful moments were truly rare. Having completely let go, Ye Chu’s state of mind actually ascended to a higher level. The realm he had been unable to break through for a long time broke through once again, reaching the second level of the Xuanhua Realm.
Of course, Pang Shao and the others did not know about Ye Chu’s changes. They only felt that although Ye Chu was heaven defyingly strong, he was still one of them. The distance that had originally been created by Ye Chu’s overwhelming strength instantly vanished, returning to exactly how it was in past years.
After bullying everyone they found an eyesore, these people finally stopped. However, they immediately began organising a ball, inviting the socialites of the Imperial Capital.
Ye Chu recognised many of these socialites, but there were also many he did not know. Over the years, many beauties had appeared in the Imperial Capital. Ye Chu clicked his tongue in amazement looking at them, thinking to himself how many of them that bastard Pang Shao might have already ruined.
Thinking about his experiences over these years, and looking at Pang Shao embracing a few socialites, Ye Chu smiled. He thought that such a life might not necessarily be a bad thing, but he could not enjoy it. Possessing the Supreme Will, for him, not progressing meant death.
Just as Ye Chu was sighing over these thoughts, a familiar voice rang in his ear, “You are certainly in a good mood, having the interest to flirt with socialites here!”
The familiar voice made Ye Chu pause for a moment. He turned his head to look, and a pair of long legs appeared before him, incredibly sexy and alluring. Ye Jingyun was wearing a formal gown, and the fair fullness of her chest was visible. Especially those legs, standing straight there, attracted the gaze of many men.
“Why are you here?” Ye Chu was extremely surprised. Had she not gone to the Floating Life Palace with Liu Yun? Moreover, even if she had returned, would this woman have the interest to attend such a ball?
“Are you interested in a dance?” Ye Jingyun looked at Ye Chu with a beaming smile. This made Ye Chu feel a bit creeped out, but he thought to himself that he did not need to be afraid of this woman anymore. He reached out, took Ye Jingyun’s soft hand, and stepped into the dance floor.
