Chapter 2691: Chapter 2665: What’s That Sound! (Eight Updates! Vote Request!)

Tu Lanxin suddenly asked, “De Wei, who are these people?”

Zheng Dewei smiled and said, “Them? They’re all my subordinates!”

“Subordinates?”

Tu Lanxin’s brows furrowed even deeper.

“Heh.” A smug expression appeared on Zheng Dewei’s handsome face as he said:

“Lanxin, I’ve already pledged allegiance to Young Master Kong. Don’t worry, although that kid named Ye Chen offended Young Master Kong and deserves death, Young Master Kong greatly values me!

He even bestowed me with subordinates! As long as we hand Ye Chen over to Young Master Kong, he won’t hold it against us!”

Upon hearing this, Tu Lanxin and Luo Shishi’s faces turned pale!

Their worst fear had materialized!

Zheng Dewei had truly pledged allegiance to Kong Xian!

And to gain Kong Xian’s favor, he was even willing to betray people from his own Divine Nation?

What disgusted them the most was Zheng Dewei’s unabashed pride in it!

Only Jin Chang’s gaze flickered slightly, his eyes seemingly carrying a hint of delight.

Looking at Tu Lanxin’s expression, Zheng Dewei’s features suddenly darkened as he asked, “Lanxin, why are you here?”

Tu Lanxin stared at Zheng Dewei but didn’t answer; she merely said calmly, “De Wei, I’ve never asked you for anything before. Now, I want to ask you for a favor.”

A chilling glint flashed in Zheng Dewei’s eyes. “What favor?”

“Take your people and leave!”

Tu Lanxin spoke softly, her tone even tinged with a hint of plea!

Normally, given her personality, she wouldn’t beg anyone!

Let alone someone like Zheng Dewei, who made her stomach churn!

But she knew…

Right now, Zheng Dewei was Ye Chen’s only hope. If Zheng Dewei didn’t leave, Ye Chen would be dead for sure…

Even if she could hold off Zheng Dewei, what about the remaining twenty martial artists?

None of those martial artists were weak!

Their lowest cultivation level was the second-level Chaos Realm!

And there were several middle-late stage Chaos Realm experts among them!

Zheng Dewei froze, staring incredulously at Tu Lanxin. He knew her personality well, which made this moment all the more shocking!

Tu Lanxin was so aloof, she wouldn’t beg for help even if it killed her!

Yet now, for the sake of a doomed waste, she came to him seeking help?

Soon, he laughed. A laugh cold and chilling.

Pointing to the entrance of the cave concealed by the Illusion Array, he said, “Lanxin, is that kid Ye Chen in there?”

Tu Lanxin remained silent.

Zheng Dewei’s gaze grew even colder.

“Good, Tu Lanxin, just splendid. You’re defending that kid Ye Chen?”

“Even begging for him? We’ve grown up together since childhood, and I’ve never seen you beg anyone! Now, you’d beg for this kid!”

“Tu Lanxin, don’t tell me you like this Ye Chen! I was curious—this man is merely a Great Void waste, just someone clinging to illusions of fame, and yet, with your insight, you’d want to bring such a person into the Divine Origin Secret Realm? Now I get it!”

Tu Lanxin’s pretty face turned icy, and she snarled, “Zheng Dewei! Shut your mouth! You disgust me, don’t think everyone is as disgusting as you! The reason I brought Ye Chen into the Divine Origin Secret Realm is entirely because of his heaven-defying spiritual root! Because he is the hope of the Seventh Divine Nation!”

“Disgusting? Heh…” Zheng Dewei sneered at Tu Lanxin and said mockingly, “Then, tell me…”

He suddenly pointed to Jin Chang, standing to the side, and asked, “If Jin Chang were hunted down by Kong Xian, would you still be here defending him?”

“I…”

Tu Lanxin froze, caught off guard, unable to respond…

If Jin Chang were being hunted, would she go to such lengths to defend him?

Clearly, she wouldn’t…

Even she wasn’t sure anymore; was she truly doing this for the sake of the Divine Nation?

Perhaps, though she hated to admit it, ever since the martial sect assessments, she had been somewhat captivated by this proud and exceptional man…

She couldn’t quite understand why, but she longed to see the moment Ye Chen stood at the peak of the Divine Nation!

The flame of fury in Zheng Dewei’s eyes burned fiercely—this was jealousy, pure and consuming. The woman he admired so deeply was now showing concern for a doomed waste?

How could he possibly accept this!

“Speechless, aren’t you?”

Zheng Dewei sneered coldly, his aura surging into chaos. “Heh, I was truly a fool, Tu Lanxin! I know you must look down on me for pledging allegiance to Young Master Kong, but do you think I did it solely for myself?”

“I pledged allegiance to Young Master Kong because he promised me one thing: if I served him, he would bring us to the First Divine Country!”

“Do you know what’s in the First Divine Country? When the Samsara Master divided the Divine Kingdom into seven sections, the First Divine Country became home to the foremost family: the Ye family! And it held unparalleled resources!”

“A portion of these resources allowed the Ye family to dominate and reign supreme; it also briefly created the swift rise of Juehan Palace!”

“The Seventh Divine Nation is destined to perish. Following Young Master Kong is our only chance to survive!”

Tu Lanxin’s face remained expressionless; she stared coldly at Zheng Dewei. She knew he harbored deep feelings for her and had been good to her, but personal feelings couldn’t be forced—they simply weren’t mutual.

After a long silence, Zheng Dewei spoke again: “Lanxin, I’ll forget what happened here today and treat you as I always have.”

With that, his gaze suddenly erupted with frosty light.

“Now, step aside and let me retrieve that waste!”

Tu Lanxin didn’t want to acknowledge any emotions for Ye Chen, but even if she did feel something for him, that had nothing to do with Zheng Dewei!

His attitude repulsed her!

She took a deep breath, said nothing, and simply gripped her black Dragonslayer Sword tightly, pointing its tip at Zheng Dewei!

Her mesmerizing eyes shone with unshakable determination!

The few individuals from the Seventh Divine Nation were all stunned by the sight.

Zheng Dewei murmured in disbelief, “Lanxin, you… you’re actually willing to fight me for that kid?”

Soon, his eyes turned blood-red!

A maddened killing intent clouded his mind—rage directed entirely at Ye Chen!

A woman he had loved since childhood, was now willing to defy him because of some nobody. How could he not hate Ye Chen?

The more Tu Lanxin protected Ye Chen, the more determined Zheng Dewei became to see him dead!

Just as the tension reached its peak, a terrifying roar erupted from the depths of the cave.

The roar reverberated through the Secret Realm as though the heavens themselves had stomped down.

A faint shock wave rippled, forcing everyone back a step!

What kind of beast was this?

Though the gathered individuals had profound knowledge, none had ever come across such a sound.

The roar carried an overwhelming dominance and boundless majesty!

It surpassed even the ferocious beasts of ancient times!

Moreover, everyone could feel an extreme surge of energy coalescing!

Above the secret realm’s skies, tribulation clouds billowed, lightning crackled, and the Heavenly Might unfolded grandly—this kind of Tribulation Lightning surpassed even the breakthroughs of Chaos Realm experts!

Additionally, upon looking outside, everyone noticed countless ferocious beasts emerging within the secret realm, running in unison.

Such numerous, unruly, and immensely powerful ferocious beasts suddenly stopped a mere hundred meters away.

They prostrated themselves—a clear gesture of submission.

This seemed like suppression stemming from a bloodline!

The question remained—how could a beast of such caliber exist in this secret realm?

Or perhaps… deep within the cave lay an Outer Realm ancient demonic beast!

Had their chatter awakened an existence this defiant against heaven itself?

At this moment, an invisible wave of terror spread among them.

Even Tu Lanxin turned toward the depths, clearly sensing that Ye Chen was the only one within. But how could there also be such a ferocious beast?

What exactly was happening inside?

“Ye Chen, are you alright?”
