When Ye Chen finished speaking, his voice carried a note of boastfulness and a trace of schadenfreude.
For some reason, seeing Di Juetian frustrated made him a little happy.
The woman Di Juetian had looked after for so long had never become his, and now Ye Chen had gotten her instead.
What could be more satisfying than stealing the woman of someone he hated?
Di Juetian still said nothing.
He had discovered that his Demonic Qi had actually been suppressed.
And it could not resist at all.
Moreover, he could control it whenever he wished.
The thought put Di Juetian in an excellent mood.
But when Ye Chen saw that Di Juetian remained silent, he assumed the man looked down on him.
"Di Juetian, we're both heaven's chosen of the younger generation. Our words should be as firm as nails hammered into the ground."
"If you're unwilling to accept it, I have a solution."
"Everyone in the Immortal Domain says that you, Young Master Di Juetian, are an immortal reincarnated. I'd like to ask you for a match."
"If you lose, please leave, and don't trouble Xi'er or her family again."
Di Juetian came back to his senses, and when he heard that, he smiled.
This must be the powerful confidence of a Child of Fortune.
Seeing Di Juetian smile,
Ye Chen smiled too.
"What if I refuse?"
Di Juetian said softly.
The Li family members' expressions changed.
Li Xi's expression changed too.
So did Ye Chen's.
"Di Juetian, I never thought that even a divine son of the Di Lineage couldn't afford to lose. Aren't you afraid of disgracing yourself?"
"The divine son of the Di Lineage is nothing special after all."
Ye Chen added that last remark.
Ximen Qing's expression changed when he heard it, but he said nothing more.
After all, this was a matter between the younger generation.
"If that's still not enough, I'll give you the advantage of one hand. How about that?"
Ye Chen was also in a difficult position.
After all, Di Juetian's status was no simple matter.
"Heh."
Di Juetian sneered.
He ignored Ye Chen from then on.
"Di Juetian, what do you mean by that?"
Ye Chen had not expected Di Juetian to care so little about his provocation.
"Who are you?"
"Do I know you?"
Di Juetian spoke.
"Di Juetian, you're shameless! I never thought the dignified divine son of the Di Lineage would turn out to be a coward."
"If you ask me, your reputation is undeserved. You're nothing but a sanctimonious hypocrite, and yet you call yourself one of the younger generation's heaven's chosen."
"It's an insult to be called one of the Immortal Domain's heaven's chosen alongside someone like you."
Ye Chen did not know why, but the sight of Di Juetian made his blood boil.
At that moment, Ye Chen felt like a jumping clown!
And seeing how calm Di Juetian was
made him even angrier.
"I'm shameless, and you feel insulted?"
Di Juetian sneered.
"I've hardly said a word, yet you've been chattering away here like a gossiping old woman."
"Since you say I'm shameless,"
"I'll oblige you."
"Guards."
Di Juetian spoke softly.
Ye Chen's expression changed when he heard that.
He had felt a little regret as soon as the words left his mouth, but a Child of Fortune was still a Child of Fortune, with a very stiff backbone.
Just after Di Juetian gave the order,
several figures appeared in the void.
They knelt on one knee.
"Divine Son."
"Go to the Ye family in the Azurewood Domain and bring his family here."
"Kill without mercy anyone who dares stand in your way."
"Also, send word for the people of the Heavenly Sun Sacred Land to come here."
"If they dare say a single word of refusal, the Heavenly Sun Sacred Land will have no need to exist beyond today."
"Send word to the Lineage and have the patriarch prepare."
After Di Juetian gave his orders,
he said nothing more.
He did not spare Ye Chen a glance.
But by now, Ye Chen's expression had changed drastically.
"Di Juetian, you despicable scoundrel!"
"Leave my family out of this!"
"Idiot. You can go to the Di Lineage and use them to threaten me too."
Di Juetian spoke.
The people in the great hall fell silent.
Not one of them dared speak; even Ye Chen shut his mouth.
A head was rolling beneath his feet.
It belonged to his protector, Ximen Qing.
Ye Chen knew he had made a mistake.
After a while, the void opened.
Figures appeared one after another.
When they appeared, their eyes were filled with panic.
Ye Family Town was not particularly powerful. It had only one King-Sealing expert holding down the fort, and he was also an elder of the Heavenly Sun Sacred Land.
But when he faced the people who had appeared, their presence crushed him into a bloody mist before he could even speak.
The Ye family members looked at Ye Chen, joy in their eyes.
After all, in their eyes, Ye Chen was capable of anything.
He had even become the holy son of the Heavenly Sun Sacred Land.
Even the Snow Spirit Dynasty had to be courteous when visiting the Ye family.
All because their Ye family had produced Ye Chen.
"Young Master."
"Chen'er."
After the members of the Ye family from the Azurewood Domain appeared, they looked at Ye Chen and called out.
Only Ye Chen wore an ugly expression.
He looked at Di Juetian, his eyes filled with intense killing intent.
He had not expected Di Juetian, a heaven's chosen of the younger generation, to really be unable to afford a loss.
"Di Juetian, let them go."
After the Ye family members appeared, they glanced at the man seated high above and lowered their heads.
He was far beyond their reach.
It looked like their family's young master had already offended this man.
But then they remembered that their young master was the holy son of the Heavenly Sun Sacred Land, and their confidence returned.
Yet immediately afterward, a cold voice brought them crashing back to reality.
"Divine Son, the hundred thousand people of the Heavenly Sun Sacred Land are already kneeling outside the gate."
When this figure appeared, he too looked at Di Juetian and knelt on one knee.
"Which one is Ye Chen's master? Come in."
Di Juetian's voice carried outside.
When a figure outside heard Di Juetian's words, he wore a complicated expression.
Their Heavenly Sun Sacred Land had found a Nine Yang Sacred Body, and they had thought the sacred land was about to rise.
But while they were still celebrating their good fortune, a figure appeared.
Their Heavenly Sun Sacred Land had not possessed the slightest strength to resist and had been brought here.
Then a suppressive force had appeared.
All hundred thousand disciples had been forced to kneel outside a gate.
The Heavenly Sun Sacred Land had existed for tens of thousands of years as the leader of the Tianyang Domain. Today, it had lost all face.
Li Qingfeng sighed and walked shakily into the great hall.
He knew that the owner of the voice just now was the one who would decide the Heavenly Sun Sacred Land's fate.
Li Qingfeng entered apprehensively. When he saw the figure on the raised platform, he hurriedly lowered his head.
Yet a tremendous, imposing pressure still bore down on Li Qingfeng.
The sacred lord of the Heavenly Sun Sacred Land, the ruler of the Tianyang Domain, knelt in the hall.
Di Juetian did not mind. He knew his protector had done this.
"Li Qingfeng, sacred lord of the Heavenly Sun Sacred Land, greets the Divine Son. May the Divine Son be blessed with all good fortune."
Hearing that, Ye Chen's family felt as though a bolt of lightning had fallen from the sky and struck the crowns of their heads.
Who had he said he was?
The sacred lord of the Heavenly Sun Sacred Land.
Wasn't that their young master's master?
Wasn't he the ruler of the Tianyang Domain, an expert who could make the entire domain tremble three times with a stamp of his foot?
Yet someone so formidable had actually knelt on the ground when he saw that young man.
