61: Chapter 61 The aftermath is still lingering, but the Dragon King, the son-in-law, returns with confidence!

"Understood!"

Li Yuan took the order and quickly retreated.

Not long after.

Aow—

Nine dragon roars shook the eight directions.

Nine pure-blooded black dragons, each over a thousand zhang long, pulled an imperial chariot into the air.

Calling it an imperial chariot was an understatement; it was actually a small palace.

Inside, there were hot springs, a study, and all sorts of facilities; it was extremely luxurious.

This level of prestige...

Compared to Wang Teng's broken carriage from before, it was on an entirely different level.

Qin Yu flashed into the hall, followed by Han Yueli and the other two women.

"Yue Li, didn't that Ye Chen use to love peeping at you the most?"

Qin Yu pulled Han Yueli by her slender waist, his hand starting to wander restlessly.

"On this trip..."

"We'll let him see his fill."

Han Yueli's body went soft as she leaned into Qin Yu's embrace, her eyes gazing infatuatedly at his profile.

"My person and my heart both belong to Master."

"He is just a disgusting bug."

"As long as Master is happy, I am willing to do anything."

Qin Yu gave a light chuckle and waved his large hand.

"Depart! To the Eastern Heaven Domain!"

Rumble!

The nine black dragons flicked their tails, tearing through space as they flew toward the east.

The net had already been cast.

This trip...

He had to harvest ruthlessly.

...

On the other side.

The events of the Northern Heaven Domain swept through the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths overnight.

The Imperial Wang Family.

An ancient Family with a Legacy of millions of years was simply gone, just like that.

This news was too shocking.

So much so that many old monsters were startled awake from their secluded cultivation.

Their first reaction upon hearing it was that the juniors delivering the message had lost their minds.

But when those recording stones began to circulate...

That ground covered in shattered tiles and ruins.

That pitch-black banner that blotted out the sun and devoured living souls.

Those scenes made everyone shut their mouths.

The Godchild of the Qin Family is a great Devil Head.

This was the sole thought in the hearts of all factions.

In the past, everyone thought he merely relied on his father and his background.

Now, they finally understood.

Not only was this young lord's background heaven-defying, but his methods were also terrifyingly dark.

...

Eastern Heaven Domain.

The outskirts of the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Land.

Miasma lingered here year-round, and the air carried the scent of rotting corpses.

Crack!

A large, grime-covered hand hacked through the thorns blocking the way.

Following that, a figure no different from a wild man emerged from the forest.

"Phew..."

Ye Chen took deep breaths of the fresh air outside.

He raised a hand to wipe the black mud from his face, revealing a pair of eyes that shone with a terrifying light.

Deep within those eyes, two clusters of golden flames were flickering.

God King Realm.

This was how the Ancient Desolate Sacred Body was meant to be.

Ye Chen lowered his head, his grin widening until it turned into a wild, unrestrained laugh.

"Hahaha!"

"I'm back!"

"God King Realm! I am now a true God King Realm expert!"

He suddenly threw a punch at a nearby thousand-year-old tree.

The massive tree, which would have taken several people to encircle, exploded into a cloud of wood chips on the spot.

Ye Chen patted his hands in satisfaction.

"Qin Yu, you surely wouldn't have expected this."

"When you humiliated me back then, did you ever think I would have a day like this?"

He reached out to touch his chest.

Inside his lapel, tucked against his skin, was a small tree sapling.

He felt a continuous stream of vitality nourishing his Physical Body.

The companion root of the nine marvels undying medicine.

With this thing, combined with this Physical Body...

He, Ye Chen, was the only protagonist of this world!

"And that slut Ye Yanran, I must make her realize who the master is!"

At the thought of that woman who had fawned over Qin Yu at the ceremony while treating him with cold indifference...

Ye Chen's eyes turned cold, and his fists clenched until they creaked.

"Didn't you despise me for being a waste?"

"Didn't you want to climb higher?"

"When I return this time and reveal my God King cultivation at the Family meeting, I'll slap that bullshit Grand Elder's face until it's swollen."

"When that time comes, I'll see how you kneel before me to beg for forgiveness!"

"I'll make you realize that the true Dragon has been by your side all along, and it was your own eyes that were blind!"

At this moment, Ye Chen was already imagining it.

In his mind, he was grinding everyone who had looked down on him into the mud.

That feeling...

Just thinking about it was exhilarating.

Having endured so much hardship and suffering...

Wasn't it all for this final moment of triumph?

He was already getting a bit impatient.

"Let's go!"

With wind beneath his feet, Ye Chen turned into a golden stream of light, racing toward Qingye City where the Ye Family was located.

Along the way, he rehearsed various lines for his entrance in his head.

He even calculated whether he should step with his left or right foot first.

He planned exactly where his gaze should fall.

Qingye City wasn't far from the Forbidden Ground.

Half an hour later, the silhouette of the majestic city appeared on the horizon.

From a distance, Ye Chen noticed that Qingye City felt a bit unusual today.

It was far too lively.

Even from dozens of miles away, he could feel the soaring festive energy in the city.

Big red lanterns hung all the way from the city gate to the Ye Family's main hall on the mountain peak.

In the sky, several tamed spirit birds circled, scattering flower petals everywhere.

Is there some big happy event?

Ye Chen's pace faltered; his brow furrowed for a moment, then quickly smoothed out.

"Heh."

"Could it be that those old guys calculated that I've found a great Opportunity and, knowing I'd return today, specially arranged this display?"

The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.

Those few Old things in the Family always had a superstitious belief in heavenly calculations.

If they really calculated that my Ancient Desolate Sacred Body had reached initial completion and put on such a big show to welcome me, it wouldn't be impossible.

"Hmph, at least you're being sensible."

Ye Chen gave a cold laugh and casually adjusted his tattered clothes.

Although his current attire was a bit lacking...

Wouldn't it highlight even more that this cultivation and Opportunity were not easily won?

This was called contrast; the weathered look of a returning king.

He straightened his back and began walking toward the city gate with an arrogant, swaggering stride.

At this time, the city gate was already a sea of people.

It was crowded with Loose Cultivators and representatives of small factions wanting to enter the city to watch the excitement.

"What are you pushing for?! Don't you have eyes!"

Ye Chen was bumped by a fat Cultivator and felt very annoyed, giving him a casual push.

Bang!

That fat Cultivator, who was at the Divine Fire Realm, was actually pushed back over a dozen zhang, slamming a large crater into a city wall.

A large space instantly cleared around them.

The way everyone looked at Ye Chen changed.

There was horror, confusion, and even more fear.

Ye Chen quite enjoyed these gazes.

He stood with his hands behind his back, scanning the crowd with an indifferent gaze, just about to ask if there was anyone else.

But at that moment, a loud shout rang out.

"Where did this smelly beggar come from! How dare you act wildly in Qingye City!"

A squad of soldiers wearing the Ye Family's core guard armor rushed out.

The leading commander held a long spear, his face full of murderous intent.

He sized Ye Chen up and down, covering his nose in disgust as he said:

"Don't you know what day it is today?"

"You dare to beg at the city gate looking so filthy?"

"If you were to offend a noble's carriage, even mincing you into meat filling wouldn't be enough to atone for your crime!"

"Hurry up and get lost!"
