621: Chapter 621 The Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Formation!

Bai Zhantang's face instantly turned the color of pig liver.

He, Bai Zhantang, was the commander of the Bai Family's secret guards and the Bai Family's number one assassin; the blood on his hands was more than the water an ordinary person had drunk.

In the Kunlun Ruins, his name was enough to stop a child's crying and make the strong turn pale.

Yet today, in the mouth of a young man in his early twenties, he was called a "fucking idiot"?

"Impudent!"

Bai Zhantang roared, and the aura around him erupted.

The pressure of the peak Late Golden Core Stage crushed down like something physical; the bluestone slabs beneath his feet cracked into several fissures, and gravel splattered everywhere.

The Bai Family disciples behind him, as well as the Nan Family members, were forced back repeatedly by this momentum, their faces full of awe.

"Ye Chen, don't think that just because you luckily won against a few people, you can act impudently before me, Bai Zhantang!"

"I, Bai Zhantang, commander of the Bai Family's secret guards, have killed not dozens, but at least ten or twenty Golden Core experts!"

"A wet-behind-the-ears brat like you dares to speak so arrogantly in front of me?"

Ye Chen looked at him, tilted his head, and looked completely indifferent.

"Commander of the Bai Family's secret guards?"

"Sounds quite intimidating."

"However..."

He paused, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly. "In my eyes, you're still just trash."

Upon hearing this, the killing intent in Bai Zhantang's eyes shot out like a physical force.

The Bai Family Secret Guards behind him also glared with wide eyes, their auras surging with chilling killing intent.

However.

Ye Chen ignored the Bai Family's anger, put away the seven keys, and tucked them back into his robes.

Then.

He raised his head and spoke calmly.

"Bai Zhantang, I don't care if you're the Bai Family's number one assassin or the commander of their secret guards."

"Listen up."

"I am the Chief Instructor of the Dragon Group's Hidden Dragon Pavilion."

"Your Bai Family kidnapped an active-duty police officer, threatening the lives and safety of national public servants."

"Your Bai Family must provide an explanation for this."

Bai Zhantang's brow furrowed, and his expression shifted slightly.

Wait...

What does this bastard want to do?

Is he trying to use public office to settle a private grudge?

He's actually using the power of the state to pressure them???

However, Ye Chen ignored his shock and continued.

"Today it's kidnapping a police officer; what about tomorrow? Or the day after?"

"Does your Bai Family think that just because you've stayed in the Kunlun Ruins for a long time, no one can control you?"

"I'm telling you, this is the Dragon Kingdom, not your Kunlun Ruins."

"On the land of the Dragon Kingdom, you must follow the Dragon Kingdom's rules."

"If your Bai Family doesn't give an explanation today, tomorrow I will deploy nuclear bombs and blast them into your Bai Family's nest in the Kunlun Ruins."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire place fell into a dead silence.

Everyone's brain completely short-circuited at this moment.

Nuclear bombs?

Blasting into the Kunlun Ruins?

Is this guy crazy?

What kind of place was the Kunlun Ruins?

It was a secluded secret realm, a holy land for Cultivators, and the foundation where the Five Clans, Eight Sects, and Thirteen Gates were entrenched.

This guy was actually using nuclear bombs as a threat?

But...

He said it like that—he wouldn't actually do it, would he?

Nan Batian's face turned completely pale, and cold sweat dripped down his cheeks.

Although he was the head of the Nan Family and acted arrogantly in Shuikou Village, no matter how arrogant he was, he wouldn't dare oppose the state machine.

Nuclear bombs?

What a joke!

With the Nan Family's meager assets, a single missile would wipe them out, let alone a nuclear bomb.

Doing things for the Bai Family this time was definitely playing with fire!

Bai Zhantang's expression wasn't much better.

Things like nuclear bombs didn't listen to reason.

No matter how strong the Bai Family was, they couldn't withstand an attack of that level.

Otherwise...

Why would so many powerful forces in the Kunlun Ruins be willing to stay cooped up there?

But he couldn't back down.

He was the commander of the Bai Family's secret guards, the face of the Bai Family, and their number one assassin.

If he backed down here, the Bai Family's reputation would be completely ruined.

"Ye Chen!"

Bai Zhantang grit his teeth and shouted sharply.

"Don't use the state to pressure me!"

"No matter how powerful your Dragon Group is, you only handle the trivial matters of the Secular World!"

"The Dragon Group has no business meddling in the affairs of my Kunlun Ruins!"

Ye Chen looked at him and smiled. "Whether I can meddle or not isn't for you to decide. At the very least... you kidnapped a police officer of my Dragon Kingdom, so I can't ignore this."

Bai Zhantang's expression stiffened.

Ye Chen continued.

"Kidnapping a police officer is a criminal offense."

"Illegal detention is a criminal offense."

"Premeditated murder is also a criminal offense."

"No matter how arrogant your Bai Family is in the Kunlun Ruins, once you're outside, you must obey the laws of the Dragon Kingdom."

"What? Does your Bai Family think you're so big that you can stand above the law?"

The veins on Bai Zhantang's forehead bulged, and his chest heaved violently.

Ye Chen's words were like knives, carving into his heart one by one.

He, Bai Zhantang, had run rampant in the Kunlun Ruins; when had he ever been lectured like this?

And the one lecturing him was a young man in his early twenties!

This was absolutely intolerable!

"Ye Chen!"

Bai Zhantang roared, his voice like a thunderclap echoing in the night sky.

"Don't push people too far!"

"Today, I'll show you whether my Bai Family has the right to stand above the law!"

He suddenly raised his hand and waved it behind him.

"Bai Family Secret Guards, come out!"

As soon as he spoke.

In the darkness, figures emerged like ghosts.

They didn't walk out of the mansion; they crawled out from the shadows, from the rooftops, and from underground.

They wore uniform black tight-fitting clothes and black masks, revealing only pairs of cold eyes.

A short blade hung at each person's waist, the scabbards pitch-black and reflecting no light under the moon.

There were a total of one hundred and eight people!

It was quite a bit more than the information Yan Qingwu had investigated!

And these weren't ordinary secret guards; they were the Bai Family's most elite secret guard phalanx.

The Thirty-Six Heavenly Stems and the Seventy-two Earthly Fiends.

Every single one was an expert at or above the Heaven Realm; among them, the Thirty-Six Heavenly Stems were peak Tianyi Realm existences.

They had all appeared here for the sole purpose of dealing with Ye Chen.

Instantly.

The one hundred and eight secret guards lined up, surrounding the entire front courtyard so tightly that not even a drop of water could pass through.

That cold aura intertwined like a massive net covering the sky and earth, enveloping Ye Chen within it.

Seeing this, Shi Xiaonian went completely numb.

How could she have imagined...

That bringing Ye Chen to storm the Nan Family would lead to encountering so many experts?

She could even feel it.

Among the people who had appeared, any random one could crush her to death...

She didn't know if this "Sugar Daddy" could hold out?

She instinctively looked over.

Only to see.

Ye Chen still had his hands in his pockets, looking nonchalant.

"The Bai Family is certainly willing to pay a high price, sending so many experts to kill me."

"However..."

He turned his head, looked at Bai Zhantang, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"I suggest that if this is all the people you have, you'd better kneel and surrender."

"Otherwise, in a moment, you'll be killed so badly even your parents won't recognize you."

Bai Zhantang's face darkened completely.

"Ye Chen, you're facing death and you still dare to be so stubborn?"

"The one hundred and eight secret guards can crush you like an ant!"

"Even I would find it difficult to break free from the array they've set up!"

"You will soon experience what regret and pain feel like!"

He suddenly gave the order.

"Thirty-Six Heavenly Stems, form the array!"

The thirty-six figures moved simultaneously.

They stepped in the Heavenly Spirit patterns, weaving rapidly around Ye Chen; their steps were eerie and their figures elusive, like wandering ghosts.

With every step they took, the aura on them grew stronger.

The auras of the thirty-six people intertwined like an invisible chain, locking Ye Chen firmly in the center.

Standing behind Ye Chen, Shi Xiaonian was so pressured by that aura that she couldn't breathe; her legs weakened, and she almost knelt.

But Ye Chen raised his hand, and an invisible force supported her.

"Stand firm."

Ye Chen said indifferently, "Don't embarrass me."

Shi Xiaonian grit her teeth and forced herself to stand straight.

Ye Chen withdrew his gaze and looked at Bai Zhantang.

"An array?"

"I'll say the same thing..."

"In the face of absolute strength, everything is a paper tiger."

A majestic pressure rippled from him, and a visible golden aura enveloped his body.

Pure.

Vast.

Carrying a brilliant heavenly might.

The moment that light shone, the movements of the one hundred and eight secret guards all came to a halt.

They felt a tremor from the depths of their souls.

Like ants looking up at the sky, like dust facing the stars.

It was an incomprehensible existence.

It was an invincible existence.

It was...

The descent of the Heavenly Dao!

Bai Zhantang's pupils suddenly constricted. "This is..."

He didn't finish his sentence.

Because Ye Chen moved.

He stomped his foot.

"BOOM!!!"

The earth was like it had been hit by a meteorite; with Ye Chen as the center, the bluestone ground exploded, and countless fragments shot out in all directions like cannonballs.

Smoke and dust billowed into the sky.

The violent tremors spread through the entire manor like an earthquake.

In the next moment.

The old locust trees on both sides shook violently, and then their trunks splintered.

Countless cracks opened in the ground, bluestone tiles burst apart one by one, and even the distant walls collapsed.

And the formation the Thirty-Six Heavenly Stems had just set up was like paper in the face of this shockwave, as they were sent flying back one by one...
