Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
The arrogant son of the Marquis of Zhenbei, the lifelong hope of the Marquis of Zhenbei, and the genius of his generation, Fang Rui, was now sitting there with a bewildered look on his face, motionless.
At this moment, his mind kept recalling the scenes of his previous battle with Ye Chen, and also recalling the figure of Ye Chen who withstood the attack of his own emperor and father, and remained calm and composed under the suppression of the power of the law of the Duke of Zhenguo...
"If I had used the Tower of Divine Tears at that time, could I have really defeated that guy..."
Fang Rui kept asking himself this question in his heart.
He was originally full of confidence, but his confidence was shaken by Ye Chen's final performance.
He thought that if Ye Chen were in his place under that situation, even if he did not die from Jun Fu's palm, he would still suffer serious injuries and lose most of his combat power.
Not to mention that he would have to endure the pressure of the fire law from the Duke of Zhenguo later.
Even if he had the immortal robe to protect him, he would not be able to escape death.
However, Ye Chen was able to survive such a powerful attack.
Not only did he survive, but he seemed to have no injuries or effects.
He had been observing Ye Chen's every move on the battlefield before, and his calm state did not seem to be fake at all.
And it's impossible to fake it.
"Rui'er, cheer up!"
No one knows a son better than his father. Fang Rui’s inner thoughts naturally could not be hidden from the Marquis of Zhenbei.
He knew very well that his son inherited his aloof character. With his protection, Fang Rui had been smooth sailing since he was a child. He was hard to beat among his peers and had the mentality of a strong man.
This mentality is crucial to the growth of a monk.
With such a strong mentality, cultivation will naturally be twice as effective with half the effort, and realm breakthroughs will be much smoother than those of ordinary cultivators.
That is a kind of confidence that will never fail!
But now, he could clearly feel that his beloved son's aspirations for strength were quietly dissolving, and he even had self-doubt...
"Rui'er, that Ye Chen is no match for you at all, don't let your imagination run wild!"
"Really, father?"
Fang Rui looked at the Marquis of Zhenbei with a confused look in his eyes, and his tone clearly showed that he did not believe what the Marquis of Zhenbei said.
The Marquis of Zhenbei reached out and stroked the other's hair, saying calmly, "Rui'er, that Ye Chen only relied on external forces unknown to us, but your foundation is much stronger than his. When you enter the top ten of the Hundred Marquises Battle this time and break through to the Divine Warrior Realm, when you meet Ye Chen again, you will find that defeating him is a piece of cake!"
"Hundred Marquises Battle... Top Ten!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Rui's eyes gradually lit up again, and he found his target again.
Seeing this, Marquis Zhenbei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, a fiery red shadow beside him hummed and said, "You don't need to worry about Ye Chen at all. Maybe you will never have the chance to see him again."
Marquis Zhenbei turned around and saw that it was none other than Duke Zhenguo Qin Lieyang who had shrunk to the size of a normal human.
He immediately asked, "Duke, what do you mean by this?"
Qin Lieyang sneered and said, "It is said that the disappearance of Tenghai Tianzun of the Fan clan is related to that kid named Ye Chen. If this is true, there is no need for you and me to take action. The Fan clan will naturally not let him go!"
"Duke, is this news reliable?" The Marquis of Zhenbei said with a serious face.
Tenghai Tianzun is an elder of the Fan clan. His whereabouts and current situation are of vital importance to the Fan clan.
But then again, how could the life and death of such a person be related to Ye Chen?
"Haha, no matter what the matter is, the Fan family will naturally send people to investigate it thoroughly. You and I don't have to worry about it."
Qin Lieyang said, then slowly turned around and said, "I will report this matter to the Council of Eight Kings, including what you told me before about Ye Chen and that woman... Let the Eight Kings discuss whether to let the Grand Master know."
"In that case, I will not interfere anymore. I originally wanted to torture this boy to death with the most torturous means. Humph, this kid is lucky!" said the Marquis of Zhenbei coldly.
Duke Qin Lieyang then asked, "Your spy in General Pingnan's mansion in the Xuanbing Divine Kingdom should still be there, right?"
"It's still there. Why does the Duke ask about this?"
"Don't activate him during this period. Don't alert the enemy. Wait until the special envoys sent by the Eighth Prince and the Fan Clan arrive. Then you can activate the spy and cooperate with the special envoy's actions."
"I understand!"
The Marquis of Zhenbei wanted to say something, but Qin Lieyang seemed to know what he wanted to ask and said directly, "Now is a turbulent time, and the situation in the royal city is still unclear. What you want to say, please wait a little longer."
"……yes."
The Marquis of Zhenbei pursed his lips and finally bowed to see the Duke of Zhenguo off.
…
Pingnan General's Mansion.
In a secluded and independent exquisite courtyard.
Jiang Ningshuang walked to the door in a rage, looked at the two female officials blocking the door, and shouted, "I want to go out, get out of here!"
The darker-skinned female official on the left said, "Miss Jiang, please stay. We are also following orders to protect the safety of the three young ladies. Please don't make things difficult for me."
"You're not letting us out and are keeping us under house arrest. Is this how you're protecting us?"
Jiang Ningshuang said this as she prepared to force her way out.
Ye Chen left quietly. She had just overheard the conversation between the two female officials and realized that Ye Chen was leading a team to launch a surprise attack on Broken Ice City.
This made Jiang Ningshuang completely uneasy.
During their time at Pingnan General's Mansion, Jiang Ningshuang, Chen Bing and Chen Xue also made up for the lack of knowledge about the humanities and geography of the upper realm.
Naturally, I also saw the description of Broken Ice City and the location of this city in the book.
That is a super fortress guarded by two great generals in the Spirit Gathering Divine Realm and more than twenty powerful people in the Divine Realm!
Moreover, thousands of miles north of this city, there is a Flame Pass that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
In such a dangerous place, how could Ye Chen and a team of demigods win the battle?
What’s the difference between this and committing suicide?
Moreover, the Pingnan General's Mansion placed the three women under house arrest, saying it was for protection, but naturally it was also intended to threaten Ye Chen, so that Ye Chen would not dare to disobey their orders.
When she thought of this, Jiang Ningshuang could no longer sit still and immediately prepared to take action.
But at this moment, Jiang Ningshuang felt a pair of small hands as white as jade grabbing her arms.
When she looked, she saw her sister Chen Xue, who always didn't like to talk.
"Xue'er, why are you pulling me?"
Chen Xue shielded her equally excited sister behind her, and then held Jiang Ningshuang, who was about to burst into a rage. She pursed her lips and said softly, "Sister Ningshuang, you need to calm down. Brother Ye Chen is not the reckless type. He must have his reasons for doing this. It's best for us to wait here patiently."
