Emperor-grade talent, annihilation
Leng Youmeng keenly sensed the killing intent emanating from Chen Yuan.
At this moment, Ye Wen looked at Chen Yuan, then glanced at the corpse at his feet.
"Third Brother!" Ye Wen's expression changed drastically. Who? Who killed his Third Brother?
Chen Yuan? Impossible! Chen Yuan was just a good-for-nothing, how could it be him!
Who could it be then? Could it be a Xuantian Sect Elder?
Across from him, Chen Yuan suppressed his hatred and retorted in a low voice, "Why should I kneel?"
Chen Tianlong saw that this rebellious son dared to question him, and an unknown anger surged in his heart. He sternly reprimanded:
"Young Miss Ye is a Personal Disciple favored by Elder Leng, and what is your status? You are merely a good-for-nothing, yet you dare to covet Young Miss Ye and kidnap her?"
After Chen Tianlong finished his reprimand, he secretly glanced at Leng Youmeng. Seeing that she showed no expression, he steeled his heart and coldly announced:
"I declare that our father-son relationship is severed, and from this moment on, you are expelled from the Chen Family."
Chen Tianlong himself disliked Chen Yuan, and now that he had caused such a huge disaster, he could use this opportunity to expel him from the Family.
Upon hearing this, Leng Youmeng frowned. This Chen Tianlong was truly ruthless.
He abandoned his own son just like that. Even a tiger wouldn't eat its cubs, right? What was the difference between him and a beast?
Chen Yuan took a deep breath. Severing ties was good! This was exactly what he wanted.
At this moment, Ye Wen quickly showed a benevolent father's smile, "Baixi, come here quickly, don't stand with that good-for-nothing."
However, Ye Baixi remained unmoved and mustered her courage to retort, "Don't speak ill of Brother Chen Yuan, and besides, I kidnapped Brother Chen Yuan, Brother Chen Yuan didn't kidnap me."
Ye Wen's face stiffened. He hadn't expected his eldest daughter, who usually kept her head down, to dare to contradict him today for a good-for-nothing.
He subconsciously wanted to curse out loud, but remembering that Elder Leng was still present, he immediately suppressed the anger in his heart.
Leng Youmeng, caught in the middle, had long sensed the subtle relationship between the two and their fathers.
"It seems the information I investigated is all true," Leng Youmeng thought to herself.
Two days ago, Leng Youmeng had investigated the Ye Family and Chen Family in Qinghai Town.
She had also uncovered many secrets: Chen Yuan's birth mother was beaten to death by his father.
Ye Wen's wife was tortured to death by Ye Wen.
From a young age, Ye Baixi was either beaten or scolded. Calling the two of them scumbags wouldn't be an exaggeration.
Leng Youmeng casually glanced at Ye Wen.
Just one glance instantly made Ye Wen feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave. His legs went soft, and he immediately knelt to the ground with a "thump."
Immediately after, Leng Youmeng's cold words entered Ye Wen's ears, "You don't need to put on a show of familial affection in front of me. I know what kind of person you are better than you do."
Hearing this, Ye Wen was drenched in sweat, prostrating on the ground, trembling and not daring to look up.
Seeing Ye Wen's disheveled state, Ye Baixi felt a surge of satisfaction in her heart. Her favorability towards Leng Youmeng immediately soared.
At this moment, Leng Youmeng's gaze fell on Ye Baixi, and she said gently, "Baixi, I won't blame you for running away. Now I'll give you another chance, are you willing to take me as your master?"
Ye Baixi lowered her head, moved behind Chen Yuan, and said timidly, "I don't want to leave Brother Chen Yuan."
Hearing these words, Ye Wen, who was prostrate on the ground, sneered inwardly, a fierce glint reflecting in his eyes,
Hahaha, it's good that she won't take a master! Just wait until Elder Leng leaves, and see how I deal with you!
At this moment, Chen Yuan spoke, his words astonishing, "Senior, it's fine if Baixi wants to take you as her master, on the condition that you also accept me as your Disciple!
Otherwise, I would rather die than let you take Baixi away."
With that, Chen Yuan released his Foundation Establishment Stage eighth-rank aura, fiercely protecting Ye Baixi.
The reason Chen Yuan dared to say this was because of his top-tier talent.
Sensing Chen Yuan's Realm aura, Leng Youmeng was startled in her heart.
She, a dignified Body Integration Stage cultivator, had initially failed to discern Chen Yuan's Realm. Could Chen Yuan possess some Magic Treasure that concealed his aura?
Chen Tianlong originally wanted to step forward and reprimand his rebellious son.
But then he sensed the Foundation Establishment Stage pressure emanating from his rebellious son, and was so shocked that his mouth hung open.
"This... how is this possible?" Chen Tianlong's voice became sharp with surprise. "Rebellious son, how could you be at Foundation Establishment Stage eight-fold?"
"How is it possible? Heh, have you ever cared about me in the slightest on a daily basis?" Chen Yuan sneered.
Chen Tianlong choked. He disliked Chen Yuan's mother, and by extension, disliked Chen Yuan.
Coupled with Chen Yuan's reputation as a good-for-nothing throughout the city, he disliked this child even more and never paid him any attention, letting him fend for himself.
Chen Tianlong seemed to recall something and quickly said, "No, no, weren't you of common Aptitude? How could you Cultivate to Foundation Establishment? It's fake, it must be fake. You're not my son, you must have been taken by Possession."
Hearing this, Chen Yuan burst into laughter. "You don't even know that the Talent Testing Stone was tampered with. It seems you've been a Family Head for so many years for nothing!"
These words were naturally fabricated by Chen Yuan, his purpose self-evident: to imply that his talent was not common-grade and needed to be retested.
At this moment, Leng Youmeng released her Divine Sense, scanning Chen Yuan thoroughly. A moment later, she slowly said, "Chen Yuan has not been taken by Possession."
Chen Yuan was inwardly pleased. Of course, he hadn't been taken by Possession, because he was himself.
"You said that the talent test was tampered with. Is that true?" Leng Youmeng asked.
"Every word I've said is true," Chen Yuan respectfully replied.
"Good." Leng Youmeng took out a dark green raw stone, on which complex Talismans were carved. This raw stone was used for testing talent.
"Place your hand on it!" Leng Youmeng said calmly.
Chen Yuan nodded, then stepped forward and placed his hand on the Talent Testing Stone.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths... The Talent Testing Stone showed no reaction.
Chen Tianlong saw this scene and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. However, before he could catch his breath, dark clouds suddenly gathered above, lightning intertwined and flashed within them, emitting crackling sounds!
A golden light suddenly burst forth from the dark green raw stone, piercing straight through the firmament!
The immense energy made Leng Youmeng's hair fly and her robes flutter.
Her gaze sharpened, and a look of shock appeared in her eyes.
"Golden light, this is Emperor-grade! This is actually the legendary Emperor-grade Aptitude!"
She quickly waved her hand to block the soaring golden light.
"It's not suitable to stay here for long." Leaving these words, she flicked her right hand, and a Flying Sword appeared before her.
"Let's go!" Leng Youmeng waved her embroidered robe, and spiritual energy enveloped Chen Yuan and Ye Baixi, placing them on the Flying Sword.
She took a step, also landing steadily on the Flying Sword. Then, the Flying Sword, like a streak of light, sped towards the Xuantian Sect.
Only Ye Wen, Chen Tianlong, and the others were left stunned in place.
Before they could recover, a Talisman descended from the sky and landed in front of them.
Immediately after, with a deafening "boom," Chen Tianlong and the others were instantly blasted into a bloody mist by the Talisman.
Leng Youmeng chose to use a Talisman to avoid exposing her identity.
