Li Qingfeng lay in the great hall.
His head and body were severed.
At the same time, the smell of blood outside wafted into the great hall.
The Li Family members panicked as well.
One after another, they rose to their feet and fell to their knees in the great hall.
A closer look showed that their faces were pale.
When Di Juetian had been with their Li Family before, he had been aloof and unapproachable.
But he had never been so murderous as he was today.
However, before they could react,
they felt the sky outside darken.
Lightning crashed down.
It split the darkness.
A towering hand descended from the darkness.
It fell upon a place.
The entire Tianyang Domain trembled.
The people in the great hall could no longer sit still.
Only Di Juetian looked completely unconcerned.
At this moment, the people of the Tianyang Domain watched as a giant hand fell upon the region where the Heavenly Sun Sacred Land stood. None dared to breathe.
The Heavenly Sun Sacred Land was one of the most powerful forces in the Tianyang Domain.
Yet it had been wiped out with a single palm strike.
Needless to say, whoever had done it was someone they could not afford to provoke.
Ye Chen had lost his earlier composure as well, his expression changing drastically.
Even as a child of fortune, he smelled the blood in the air.
Then he looked at Di Juetian's indifferent eyes.
At that moment, Ye Chen understood what kind of person he had offended.
Li Xi had long since collapsed to the floor in fright.
She looked at the man who had once "doted on" her.
Her eyes were full of fear.
"Didn't you want to kill him? I did it for you. There's no need to thank me."
Di Juetian looked at Ye Chen as he spoke.
"Di Juetian, I'm going to kill you!"
Ye Chen looked up at Di Juetian, his voice full of killing intent.
These people had died because of him.
If not for him, they would not have died.
At the thought, Ye Chen's heart was on the verge of breaking.
As soon as he said those words, Ye Chen sprang to his feet.
He clenched his fingers tightly, and a brilliant light appeared.
At that moment, Ye Chen was like a little sun.
He unleashed the full force of his Sixth Layer of the Voidseeking Realm presence without reservation.
His right foot stomped heavily on the ground.
A half-meter-wide patch of rubble appeared on the floor.
Combined with Cloud Sun Steps,
all that could be seen were Ye Chen's afterimages.
The expressions of the people in the great hall changed.
"How dare you!"
"You're courting death!"
Just as the Li Family members were about to act, they discovered that they had been stopped, and that they could not rise from their kneeling positions.
Their expressions changed.
Ye Chen was very fast.
But to Di Juetian, who possessed the Spatial Divine Eye,
he was as slow as a crawling snail.
Just as Ye Chen came within five meters of Di Juetian,
a powerful presence emerged from Di Juetian.
Although it appeared for only an instant,
Ye Chen's expression still changed drastically.
His figure flew backward.
He slammed straight into a pillar in the great hall.
A mouthful of hot blood sprayed from his mouth.
There was fear in his eyes.
It was fear of Di Juetian.
One move.
No, it did not even count as one move.
Di Juetian had merely released a little of his presence.
Yet he had been gravely injured.
Di Juetian still wore the same calm expression.
It made Ye Chen look like a jumping clown.
Just as Ye Chen was about to stand,
"Did I tell you to get up? Kneel."
Di Juetian spoke softly.
The temperature in the great hall rapidly dropped to zero.
Ye Chen spat out another mouthful of blood.
He fell straight to his knees on the floor.
His head hung low.
There was disappointment in Di Juetian's eyes.
A child of fortune, and this was all?
Li Xi was dumbfounded. In her memory, the man she had set her heart on could defeat all manner of geniuses, even if he had to pay a price to win.
But before Di Juetian, he was utterly powerless to resist.
His spirit had nearly been beaten out of him.
"So he really was good to me."
Li Xi now realized that Di Juetian was the one who had truly been good to her. The way she looked at Ye Chen could not help but change a little.
When Ye Chen saw the change in Li Xi's gaze, his expression grew uglier.
Who did I do this for?
Didn't I end up like this for you? And now there's a hint of disdain in the way you look at me?
"Divine Son, we've found him."
After the great hall had fallen silent,
a figure appeared.
At the sight of this figure, many people in the great hall looked on with disdain.
It was not the powerful newcomer they disdained, but the person he was carrying, whose hair was filthy and disheveled.
His face could not be seen clearly.
When this person saw Ye Chen, his gaze flickered, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
Ye Chen found the figure familiar.
Before long, his expression changed.
Clearly, he had recognized who it was.
"Ye Mu, you're still alive?"
Wasn't Ye Mu the former Holy Son of the Heavenly Sun Sacred Land?
He had offended Ye Chen and had his cultivation crippled.
Ye Mu now pushed his hair aside.
The face beneath was revealed, and it had been horribly disfigured.
Li Xi looked at him with disgust as well.
"Greetings, Divine Son."
Ye Mu looked at Di Juetian and knelt on the floor.
"I had you brought here today. You should know what you're supposed to do, shouldn't you?"
"Rest assured, Divine Son. I won't disappoint you."
"Di Juetian, what are you planning to do?"
Ye Chen suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Nothing much. I just want you to watch a good show."
Di Juetian laughed.
Ye Mu took out a saber.
He looked at the Ye Family members and attacked without another word.
He slashed at them again and again.
Before long, ten members of the Ye Family had collapsed to the floor.
Their eyes had lost focus.
"Ye Mu, I'll fuck your grandmother!"
"Go on, then! Go on! Ever since my cultivation was crippled, my lineage has been destroyed and everyone in it is dead. Want me to find my grandmother's grave for you?"
"Let me see how you do it. At worst, what if I call you Grandpa?"
Madness filled Ye Mu's eyes.
"Di Juetian, what are you trying to do?"
"Leave family out of it."
"So you know to leave others out of it? When you insulted me, you dragged my lineage into it too. I'm just giving you a taste of your own medicine, and now you can't take it?"
"Kill a few more, to add to the fun for our great prodigy Ye."
Di Juetian spoke softly, his voice utterly without inflection.
"You're despicable and shameless!"
"Kneel and beg me."
Di Juetian spoke.
"Chen'er, don't!"
Ye Chen's father cried out in alarm when he heard those words.
"Even if we die, we won't suffer this humiliation. He never intended to spare us."
Di Juetian smiled.
A ripple appeared.
Ye Chen's father could no longer speak.
But he still looked at Ye Chen with anxiety in his eyes.
Ye Chen did not dare gamble.
But a man's knees were worth their weight in gold. If he knelt now, could he ever stand again?
Ye Chen was torn!
Was I really wrong?
No, I wasn't wrong. The only mistake was that I was too weak, and Di Juetian was too despicable!
If I had great strength, who could force me to do anything?!
Madness showed on Ye Chen's face, and his heart was full of unwillingness!
But when he looked at his father's face, Ye Chen suddenly calmed down!
I will repay today's humiliation someday. Di Juetian must die, and the Di Lineage will surely be destroyed!
I, Ye Chen, swear it!
Ye Chen raised his head!
He looked at Di Juetian's impassive expression.
Both his knees slowly bent.
It was as though time had slowed a hundredfold!
His fingers had turned a little white from clenching so hard!
His body was trembling constantly as well!
He was full of unwillingness!
There were tears in Ye Chen's father's eyes as he shook his head!
Ye Chen looked at his father and smiled faintly!
He signaled to his father not to worry!
Crack!
Ye Chen fell to his knees!
Even the ground was damaged!
Just after Ye Chen knelt down!
The system's notification sounded in Di Juetian's mind once again!
