Chapter 830: Chapter 829: After the Great Battle
Ye Qingchen stood between heaven and earth, neither sad nor happy.
The thousand-year cold tide accumulated and poured down, Luo Yunfei naturally bore the brunt, this strike he completely intended to perish together. But unfortunately, Luo Yunfei was ultimately one move short.
Although he was not an Earth Immortal, he possessed the power to slay one!
"Ancestor!"
The Luo Family members let out a wild cry, tears flowing.
Some even bit their teeth, wanting to risk their lives against Ye Qingchen to avenge the ancestor. But Ye Qingchen merely glanced indifferently, and they felt as if struck by lightning, bleeding from their orifices, stumbling to the ground.
Ye Qingchen’s powerful divine sense was enough to contend with an Earth Immortal, how could these ordinary Human Immortals compare?
Seeing this scene, the Luo Family members trembled, as if their hearts sinking into an abyss. Even the ancestor had died, who could possibly subdue this Fierce God? Could it be that their Luo Family was doomed to perish today?
"Mr. Ye..."
Knowing there was no escape.
At this moment.
An aged elder, supported by others, pushed through the crowd with a cane. With Ancestor Luo Yunfei’s fall, and Patriarch Luo Zhi’s demise, he was the highest in status and generation.
"Do you intend to annihilate our Luo Family?"
"Indeed!"
Ye Qingchen replied with hands clasped behind his back.
Hearing this, everyone trembled.
For so many years, when had they seen an Earth Immortal perish, or a Major Race of the Earth Immortal Race destroyed? Both sides were already at a life and death impasse, not to mention the Luo Family had exhausted all efforts to besiege Ye Qingchen, how could this account be easily settled?
A single word determined the fate of a clan!
Though Ye Qingchen was not an emperor, he possessed the might of an Earth Immortal, naturally, words followed by actions, no one doubted he would act.
The elder’s face turned ashen, he took a deep breath, seemingly making a final decision, bowing down:
"Our Luo Family is willing to admit defeat, now that the ancestor has died, and Ice City destroyed, we ask Mr. Ye to spare our Luo Family. From now on, our Luo Family disciples are willing to swear a soul oath, to serve you as cattle or horses, as slaves or servants!"
"Great-Grandfather!"
As the words fell, the Luo Family disciples cried bitterly, but none dared to refute. Now, they were like fish on a chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.
Ye Qingchen quietly looked at them, paused for a moment, and slowly nodded:
"Alright!"
"Greetings, Mr. Ye!"
As the words fell.
Another respected elder of the Luo Family stepped forward from the crowd, bowing deeply.
Immediately, another person stepped out.
"Greetings, Mr. Ye!"
Initially.
Bows were sporadic, but as the Luo Family seemed to know their might had waned, leaving them with no other choice, gradually more people joined. Until finally, the cries of salutation merged into a flood rushing towards the sky:
"Greetings, Mr. Ye!"
Those around watched as the once lofty family disciples of the Earth Immortal Race knelt before the young man, feeling that never in their lifetime had they seen such a grand spectacle!
A Major Race of Earth Immortals had, overnight, completely changed ownership!
"Luo Yunfei is dead, from today the Luo Family is my vassal. From this day forward, anyone who oppresses the Luo Family is an enemy of mine, Ye Qingchen, and it’s a fight to the death!"
Ye Qingchen said indifferently.
"Yes!"
The audience exchanged glances, finally bowing respectfully.
...
"Luo Yunfei’s death, the Luo Family’s change of hands! This is an unprecedented major event in the Extreme North for a thousand years!"
In the distance.
A huge white sculpture, on its back stood a woman in white, looking distantly at Ice City, her voice cold and clear.
She appeared around fifteen or sixteen years old, with a face still showing a hint of youth, but her aura was extremely powerful, even surpassing Luo Yunfei, she too was clearly an Earth Immortal!
"This child’s strength truly exceeds normal imagination. With a Human Immortal Ninth Layer body, suppressing an Earth Immortal, directly enduring the sweeping cold tide unharmed. This kind of strength already far surpasses ordinary Earth Immortals!"
Another elder with white hair and beard, tied with a White Jade Crown and holding a longsword, said in a deep voice:
"If this child grows up, stepping into Earth Immortal, he will become a formidable enemy! If he becomes a celestial being, that’s fine, but if he becomes a demon, I fear the Kunlun Realm will have no more Immortals!"
Hearing this, everyone trembled inwardly.
At this time.
A gloomy man coldly laughed: "Since we fear him so, why not kill him before he grows up. Otherwise, you and I will end up like Luo Yunfei!"
Those who heard were silent.
Not to mention.
The Taotian Palace behind Ye Qingchen, just his own strength was enough to make everyone wary. Who would want to be the first bird to be shot?
The woman in white gave Ye Qingchen a deep look, making no moves, her figure gradually became transparent, disappearing on the spot. The other Earth Immortals in the scene exchanged glances, transforming into streaks of light, quietly vanishing.
Very soon.
When a trace of dawn appeared on the horizon, everyone realized, this battle had already reached a conclusive end, no other result would transpire. Tang Mei’Er stood in the crowd, watching Ye Qingchen being revered, and then surrounded by admiration...
What was seen today.
Was more exciting than anything she had experienced in her life!
"Miss Tang, Mr. Ye requests your presence!" Just as Tang Mei’Er contemplated whether to leave or stay, two Luo Family disciples respectfully approached.
"Alright!"
Tang Mei’Er slightly nodded.
A moment later.
Tang Mei’Er met Ye Qingchen in a grand hall once more.
Although Ice City had been leveled, with the Luo Family’s resources, quickly constructing a residence was not a problem. She saw Ye Qingchen being invited to the main seat by the Luo Family members, holding a cup of fragrant tea, looking calm.
However, the many high-levels of the Luo Family were anxious, like students being lectured, not daring to make a sound.
"What do you need me for?"
Tang Mei’Er feigned strength, showing a faint smile.
"To apologize for dragging you into my affairs." Upon seeing Tang Mei’Er enter, Ye Qingchen slowly placed the teacup down, "Also, to bid farewell!"
"You’re leaving? Right, you’re a Taotian Palace disciple!"
Tang Mei’Er froze, realizing belatedly he was a Taotian Palace disciple, and this journey was only to seek fortune. A bitter smile appeared on her face.
Suddenly, she remembered something, hastily looked up: "Will we meet again?"
"Meet again?"
Ye Qingchen mused silently.
The three-month life-and-death duel deadline was near, even if victorious, soon he might face the seven Supreme Elders.
Possibly.
The entire Taotian Palace!
The ultimate fate of this path, nobody knew. It could be glory, or utter destruction.
Yet gazing into Tang Mei’Er’s expectant eyes, Ye Qingchen suddenly smiled, nodded slightly:
"Indeed, we will meet again!"
Ye Qingchen looked into the distance.
After speaking, his gaze profound and long as if lost in thought!
