Ji Mengxuan, with unparalleled beauty, wore a goose-yellow rosy dress. Her skin was as white as snow, delicate to touch, and her figure extremely graceful.
However, her demeanor was exceedingly cold, akin to a lofty queen, making her unapproachable.
Beside her, there was a large group of followers, encircling her like stars around the moon.
Among them was the first Saint Son of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect, Ji Yuan.
Ji Yuan's family is a small branch of the Ji Race.
Therefore, it was quite normal for Ji Yuan to seek out Ji Mengxuan.
"Brother Ye, I remember that little b**** Ye Xi has an elder brother, who also seems to be called Ye Chen." Ji Mengxuan gracefully walked towards Ye Fei, speaking in an indifferent tone.
"Indeed, I suspect they are the same person." Ye Fei nodded, replying with a faint smile.
"Is that so? I heard that Ye Chen's dantian was destroyed by your grandfather. How did he manage to grow to this extent?" Ji Mengxuan slightly furrowed her brows.
As the proud daughter of the Ji Race, she had heard elders in her family mention Ye Chen and his parents.
As far as she knew, after Ye Chen's mother was killed by a strong member of the Ye Clan, his father fled with him.
During the escape, Ye Chen's dantian was destroyed by the Second Elder of the Ye Clan.
Logically, he should never be able to walk the path of cultivation again.
But now, he had killed Ye Fei's follower, Huang Long.
This was truly astonishing.
"Fairy Mengxuan, there are certain secret techniques in this world that can restore a dantian. Maybe, that bastard Ye Chen was fortunate enough to come across such a technique." Ye Fei sneered coldly.
"That's possible, but even if this bastard can walk the path of cultivation again, so what? Compared to our two major families, he is no different from an ant, and we can crush him anytime we want." Ji Mengxuan lifted her chin high, with an expression of ultimate disdain.
The Ji Race and the Ye Clan are both ancient Divine Spirit Families, with countless powerful members within their ranks.
Thus, even if Ye Chen was indeed growing stronger, Ji Mengxuan still saw him as insignificant.
In her eyes, Ye Chen was just an ant that could be easily crushed, posing no real threat.
"What? That waste Ye Chen is actually Ye Xi's brother, how is that possible?" At this moment, Ji Yuan, who was following Ji Mengxuan, suddenly narrowed his pupils, filled with incredulity.
He always thought Ye Chen was just a lowborn from the Celestial Flame Dynasty.
His quick rise was attributed to some fortunate encounter.
But now, from the conversation between Ye Fei and Ji Mengxuan, he learned that Ye Chen's true identity was Ye Xi's brother.
This means he is also a direct descendant of the Divine Spirit Family Ye Clan.
How could he believe this?
"No wonder that waste has such high comprehension. His background is indeed extraordinary, but unfortunately, he has been completely abandoned by the Ye Clan, and now he is no different from a stray dog. Even if I crush him, no one will stand up for him." Ji Yuan laughed sneeringly after a brief shock, his mouth full of mockery.
After following Ji Mengxuan, he learned that Ye Chen's sister Ye Xi carries the Omen Bloodline, which makes her a key target for the Ji Race.
The Ji Race's powerful members are hunting her down everywhere.
And Ye Chen, being Ye Xi's brother, naturally wouldn't meet a good end.
He is, as one might say, a rat that everyone shouts at to beat.
If Ji Yuan killed him, not only would he not face punishment from the Ye Clan, but he might even receive an immensely rich reward.
This thought excited him greatly.
"Heavens! Ye Chen is actually a direct descendant of the Ye Clan, a Divine Spirit Family, am I dreaming?"
"No wonder he's so young and already possesses the strength to kill Huang Long. An ordinary cultivator could never achieve this." In the grand hall, the young geniuses from various Immortal Sects were all stunned, with expressions like they'd seen a ghost.
Especially Lin Tian, whose face turned extremely somber, almost dripping water.
If Ye Chen were merely a true disciple of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect, he could kill him without restraint, avenging his brother Lin Yang.
But now, he's hesitant.
After all, a direct descendant of the Divine Spirit Family Ye Clan isn't someone he can kill as he pleases.
If he truly enraged the Ye Clan, he wouldn't even know how he'd die.
"Everyone, don't worry. Ye Chen has completely betrayed our Ye Clan. We not only won't protect him, but will bring him to justice! So, if you encounter him, there's no need to hesitate. If you have the ability, just cripple him! Just leave him breathing for us." At this point, Ye Fei suddenly spoke, his smile cruel.
"Great, with Young Master Ye Fei's assurance, I can act without worry. I'll go find that waste Ye Chen right now and make him pay dearly." Lin Tian couldn't hide his joy, cold beams shooting from his eyes.
"Miss Mengxuan, there's also an unresolved grievance between me and Ye Chen. I also wish to confront that waste. Please grant me permission, Miss Mengxuan." Ji Yuan respectfully said.
Since being humiliated by Ye Chen on Azure Sky Peak in front of countless people, he harbored deep hatred for him.
He wished to tear Ye Chen apart immediately.
"He's just a waste, no need for such a fuss. But if you want to go, I won't stop you! Remember, don't kill him completely. His life still holds some value for us." Ji Mengxuan spoke with a blank expression, her tone cold and frightening.
"Indeed, we still need to use this waste to lure out that little b**** Ye Xi! The Omen Bloodline in her body poses a threat far greater than Ye Chen's and must be eradicated quickly." Ye Fei said coldly, surrounded by an aura of hostility that made souls shudder.
Buzz!
At this moment, the Communication Crystal Stone on Lin Tian suddenly emitted dazzling light.
"It's Ye Chen, our Fire Qilin Immortal Sect's disciples spotted him near the Fire Sect relic. I'll head over to cripple him now." Lin Tian's expression turned ferocious, his eyes flashing like an enraged Ancient Fierce Beast.
"If Brother Lin doesn't mind, I'll join you. This waste is quite cunning and might have secret treasures that could aid his escape. If I go too, he won't be able to escape," Ji Yuan sneered.
"Alright, let's go." Lin Tian nodded, not refusing Ji Yuan.
After all, Ji Yuan is Ji Mengxuan's follower and his cultivation was on par with Lin Tian's, even he had to give him some respect.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
In the next moment, Lin Tian and Ji Yuan hurriedly left the grand hall, rushing towards the Fire Sect relic.
Apart from them, some others, curious spectators, wanted to follow and witness the event.
As for Ye Fei and Ji Mengxuan, they had no intention of moving.
To them, Ye Chen the waste wasn't worth their personal involvement.
