Yao Chen, You Have Courted Death by Insulting Ye Emperor Hall!

At the foot of Ye Emperor Hall Mountain.

The moment they entered Ye Emperor Hall Sect, Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran sensed something unusual.

The Dou Qi concentration here was actually several times richer than outside!

And the deeper they went, the denser the Dou Qi became.

"As expected of a reclusive grand sect!"

"Even its location is so uniquely blessed!"

Yun Yun's red lips parted slightly as she thought to herself, Just as I expected!

With a sweep of Ye Changge's hand, a hundred-li-long staircase extended down from the mountain. Clouds and mist curled around the steps, while dreamlike scenes constantly shifted and changed, as though it were a stairway leading to the Immortal Realm.

"Let's go."

After passing through the staircase and entering Ye Emperor Hall,

their view suddenly opened up.

Pavilions and towers stood in orderly rows, while Dou Qi so dense it had condensed into mist made the place resemble a celestial paradise.

"Tea... Teacher, have we arrived in a heavenly realm?"

Xiao Yan, Yun Yun, and the others who had just arrived were like Granny Liu Entering the Grand View Garden.

They were completely stunned!

Seeing their reactions, Shi Hao secretly laughed.

"Haha, this feels great. I probably had the same expression when I first arrived."

Emperor Hall.

"Have a seat."

Ye Changge invited them to sit and instructed Shi Hao to pour them some tea.

It was not particularly fine tea, merely some Seventh-grade Spirit Herb—Golden Pu'er Tea—that he had swindled from the system a couple of days ago.

Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran sat down stiffly, picked up their teacups, and drained them in one gulp.

"Th-this is!!!"

The cool tea flowed down their throats before transforming into pure energy that spread throughout their bodies.

"This is Seventh-grade Spirit Herb—Golden Pu'er Tea!"

Feeling the pure Dou Qi energy within her body, Yun Yun cried out in shock.

Even Yun Yun had only seen such a high-grade spiritual medicine once, years ago, while traveling across the continent, at an auction house.

At the time, it had sparked a frenzied struggle among one Dou Zun and several Dou Zong and Dou Huang experts!

"It's nothing special. Just make do with it."

Ye Changge spoke sincerely, while pondering what excuse he could use to swindle some better tea from the system.

There was no reaction at all after drinking this tea.

System: Outrageous!

Other people treated Seventh-grade Spirit Herb—Golden Pu'er Tea—as a sect's great treasure. Even ordinary Dou Zong experts might not get to drink it, and for regular people to taste it would be a miracle!

Yet here you are—how much have you guzzled over the past two days? Don't you know?

After drinking that much, what reaction could there possibly be?!

Seeing Yun Yun's huge reaction, Xiao Yan thought that if even Yun Yun, a Dou Huang expert, was so shocked, then this tea was certainly extraordinary. He immediately drank his cup in one gulp as well.

Pure Dou Qi energy circulated through his body, continuously washing over his entire being.

"How is it, Junior Brother? Did you feel anything?"

Shi Hao looked at Xiao Yan curiously. He had drunk plenty of this tea himself and naturally understood its wonders.

"Burp!"

"Senior Brother!"

"I finally broke through... uh... I'm still at the third stage of Dou Qi..."

Xiao Yan let out a burp and said bitterly.

Other than feeling that the Dou Qi energy within his body had become much purer, his cultivation remained at the third stage of Dou Qi.

"Brother Xiao Yan, this tea actually let me break through directly to the nine-star Dou Zhe stage!"

Xiao Xun'er, who had been following behind Xiao Yan all this time, also exclaimed!

As the Little Princess of the Ancient Clan, she naturally knew of Golden Pu'er Tea. Yet it was exceedingly rare in the world; even she had only occasionally seen it in her father's study.

Even the Ancient Clan rarely possessed it, showing just how precious Golden Pu'er Tea was. It was practically no weaker than an Eighth-grade Medicinal Pill!

After finishing their tea and chatting for a while,

Yun Yun rose and spoke solemnly.

"Hall Master Ye, your actions today have already offended the entire Jia Ma Empire. You should make preparations as soon as possible."

"A cautious boat sails for ten thousand years. If anything happens, I, Yun Yun, can lend you a hand as well."

Hearing this,

"Thank you for your kind intentions, Sect Master Yun Yun. However, Ye Emperor Hall is filled with experts. Since we dared to offend them, we naturally do not fear them."

Ye Changge spoke calmly. With the Dou Emperor Ancestor overseeing Ye Emperor Hall, what was the insignificant Jia Ma Empire worth? Even if the eight great Ancient Races came, there would be nothing to fear.

Seeing that Ye Changge was utterly unconcerned, Yun Yun found it difficult to say anything further.

Ye Changge had no need to explain. Once Ye Emperor Hall began competing for dominance in the Central Continent, the world would understand its strength.

Ye Changge then began examining the system interface.

The system rewards from accepting Xiao Yan previously had nearly all been used up.

He had used the Silver Summoning Card and summoned an Outer Sect Elder at the Dou Zun Realm—Ye Bai!

And now, it was time to resolve the problem with Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan, come with me."

"I have more or less figured out why you have been unable to break through."

"Once I resolve your inability to cultivate, all the humiliation you suffered in the past will be utterly shattered!"

"Thank you, Teacher!"

Xiao Yan hurriedly replied after coming to his senses.

Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran, seated below, were also very curious.

Why would Ye Changge accept a useless person incapable of cultivating as his disciple?

The secret behind his inability to cultivate?

"Open your spiritual senses."

Xiao Yan obediently did as instructed.

"Venerable Yao, after all these years, it is time for you to come out of my disciple's VIP private room, isn't it?"

"Hehe, little friend, you are truly formidable."

"Such a young Dou Zong expert—even among the great imperial clans, you would absolutely be among the leading figures!"

Yao Chen, forcibly awakened by Ye Changge's vast Dou Qi, looked the young Dou Zong before him up and down as he spoke.

"Submit to me. Before long, I will restore your physical body. Otherwise, die!"

"You know that with your current strength and Soul Power, you pose no threat to me whatsoever!"

Ignoring Yao Chen's curiosity, Ye Changge continued speaking.

"Hehe, little friend, you certainly have quite the nerve. I, Yao Chen, will never bow my head in my life!"

"Your Dou Zong strength may not be weak, but you are not an alchemist. With only you, you dare boast of reviving me?"

"Wanting me to submit to you is simply wishful thinking..."

However, before Yao Chen could finish speaking, Ye Changge's voice came again:

"I am indeed not an alchemist, but you are, aren't you?"

"The continent's number one alchemist, the Starfall Pavilion Master, Venerable Yao!"

"Do you not wish to personally kill that traitorous disciple Han Feng?"

"As far as I know, Han Feng possesses a Heavenly Flame. I also promise to find another Heavenly Flame for Venerable Yao, along with every material needed to revive you. I will provide it all. What do you think of my sincerity, Venerable Yao?"

"Is that true!"

"Where is Han Feng?!"

Sure enough, the moment he heard the name Han Feng, Yao Chen's expression changed drastically!

His eyes were bloodshot, as though blood could drip from them!

Suddenly, a terrifying pressure of Soul Power swept toward Ye Changge!

"Hmph!"

"You have courted death by showing disrespect to the Ye Emperor Hall Master!"

Ye Bai, hidden in the shadows, waved his hand and instantly shattered Yao Chen's soul attack!

"A peak... Dou Zun expert!!"

Not far away, his soul attack having been destroyed, the already weakened Yao Chen immediately grew much weaker still.

"Well?"

"Venerable Yao, are you willing?"

"As long as you help me restore my physical body and avenge the blood feud of my death, what is there to lose in submitting to you!"

At this moment, Yao Chen had no other choice!

Inside Emperor Hall.

An hour later, Xiao Yan, who was sitting cross-legged, happily opened his eyes.

"Teacher, I broke through!"

Without Yao Chen, that bloodsucker, and with the assistance of the cup of Golden Pu'er Tea Xiao Yan had drunk earlier, the cultivation he had accumulated over many years instantly broke through!

"Third stage of Dou Qi, sixth stage, peak!"

"One-star Dou Zhe, four-star, seven-star, nine-star!"

"Dou Master... one-star!"

In a single breath, Xiao Yan broke through two major realms in succession and reached the Dou Master Realm!

"Hehe, with such talent, you truly deserve your future title as the Flame Emperor!"

Xiao Yan's transformation naturally did not escape Ye Changge's notice!
