"It's Ye Chen!"
The maid didn't dare to beat around the bush and answered directly.
"Is it Master Ye Chen!?"
Caiyi suddenly stood up from the couch, not caring about her disheveled clothes and exposed body. She stepped forward and grabbed the maid's shoulders, shaking her excitedly, "Is it really my good brother Ye Chen?"
"Absolutely, sir."
The maid nodded heavily, "Now the imperial edict has been posted, and the one who was canonized as a marquis this year is Ye Chen."
"You are indeed worthy of being my good brother!"
Caiyi smiled brightly and excitedly paced back and forth in the room twice before ordering, "Quickly prepare a large gift. I will personally go to his house to congratulate him!"
After saying that, he didn't even bother to put on his shoes and hurried into the locker room to change clothes.
The maids around looked at each other in surprise. They hadn't seen their steward so excited for a long time.
…
The Blazing Sun Divine Kingdom, the seventh branch of the Fan clan.
At this time, Wuchang Marquis Fan An was sitting on a cushion in the main hall.
Beside him, there was an old man with white hair and a youthful face, also sitting quietly on a cushion, fiddling with a string of flaming beads in his hand, breathing a long breath.
Fan An quietly glanced at the old man beside him, then tiptoed out of the hall.
"Fan An?"
Unexpectedly, before Fan An took two steps, he suddenly heard the old man's voice calling from behind him, and he couldn't help but stand stiffly in place.
"The child is here!"
Although he was the old man's grandson, Fan An was still timid in front of the fifth elder of the Fan clan.
It was not only because his grandfather had been very strict in disciplining him when he was a child, but also because his grandfather had a strange personality and preferred quietness to movement. He felt very uncomfortable being around him and didn't even dare to breathe.
"If you don't stay here with me to cultivate your character, where are you going?"
Upon hearing this, Fan An hurriedly said respectfully, "Grandpa Elder, Fan Tianxiao has been gone for a long time. It's time for him to return. I'm going to go out and see if he's back. I'll also hand Ye Chen over to you as soon as possible so you can use the Soul Extraction and Soul Questioning Technique to find out the whereabouts of Elder Tenghai Tianzun..."
The fifth elder said calmly, "Tian Xiao is the dignified leader of the clan. Do you really need to worry about what he does? Sit down honestly and calm your mind. We cultivators must learn to remain calm in the face of praise or criticism, and remain calm even when the sky collapses before us. Only in this way can we achieve great success!"
And at this moment.
Suddenly, a sound of breaking air was heard outside the hall, and then Fan Tianxiao rushed in with a listless look and staggering steps.
As soon as he came in, Fan Tianxiao saw the figure of the Fifth Elder and screamed urgently: "Elder, save me!!"
"Tian Xiao, what's wrong with you?"
The fifth elder instantly jumped up from the cushion and came directly to Fan Tianxiao.
Then he saw that the former was covering his left shoulder with his hand, but the left arm was empty and the cut was as smooth as a mirror.
This was cut off by someone!
"Brother Tian Xiao, what's going on? Didn't you go to ambush Ye Chen? How did it end up like this?"
Fan An asked quickly.
Ye Chen was only at the Condensation Realm, and there was no way he could defeat a powerful Divine Lord Realm cultivator like Fan Tianxiao.
“…Yes, it’s the Black Ice Empress!”
Fan Tianxiao's lips were blue and black, and he was shivering from the cold. He begged, "Fifth Elder, please save me. I feel so cold... I'm about to freeze to death..."
As he spoke, he spat out another mouthful of blood, but the blood was cold and contained a lot of ice chips.
Upon seeing this, the Fifth Elder's originally calm face showed surprise.
As he injected his divine power into Fan Tianxiao's body, he asked, "Didn't you go to capture that brat named Ye Chen? How did you get involved with the Xuanbing Empress?"
"I did go to capture Ye Chen, but I didn't expect that just when I was about to succeed, the Black Ice Queen jumped out from the void and cut off my arm with a sword, and even destroyed the 'Shrinking Ruler'..."
When Fan Tianxiao spoke, his tone was decadent and resentful, he didn't look like a great hero at all.
"The strength of the Xuanbing Empress is indeed amazing!"
The fifth elder withdrew his palm, looked at his palm covered with a layer of frost, and clenched it with all his strength, barely able to repel the cold air that had penetrated into his body.
Then he shook his head slightly with a look of fear on his face and said, "The power of the laws of the Xuanbing Empress is too strong. I can't help you clear this icy poison. The only way to save you is to ask the Heavenly King or the Grand Master for help."
Fan An was shocked. He didn't expect that even the Fifth Elder, a powerful Heavenly King, was powerless. The Black Ice Empress was indeed so terrifying!
He then looked at the Fifth Elder and said, "Grandpa Elder, this Ye Chen is now under the protection of the Mysterious Ice Empress. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to catch him again."
"Even if we can't catch him, we can't let him live. Otherwise, if this matter gets out, how can our Fan clan survive in the Seven Kingdoms?"
The Fifth Elder slowly stood up and said in a cold voice, "Even without searching his soul, I know that Teng Hai Tianzun is most likely in grave danger now, and the culprit is this thief Ye Chen!"
Fan An asked tentatively, "Should we report this to the Heavenly King and the Grand Master?"
"If such a trivial matter still needs to be reported to the Heavenly King and the Imperial Master, then what is the use of me and a bunch of good-for-nothings like you?"
The Fifth Elder scolded him and then sent a message: "Go find the Shadow Pavilion's leader in my Blazing Sun Kingdom and use them to eliminate this villain."
As soon as Fan An heard the name 'Shadow Pavilion', he knew what the elder was thinking.
The Shadow Pavilion can be said to be the largest underground dark organization in the upper realm. As long as a sufficient price is given, there is no order below the King level that they dare not accept.
Of course, the price will vary greatly depending on the target's strength and background.
"Yes, I'll do it right away!" Fan An left quickly.
…
The forbidden area of the Leng clan.
Inside a huge building similar to a Taoist temple.
Leng Hanjiang stepped into the main hall and saw the misty starlight inside the hall, which kept flowing in the hall, just like stars floating in the sky.
If you look carefully, you can find that those "stars" of all sizes are made up of ice crystals.
Xuanjing Heavenly King Leng Guanxing was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the hall, with the Bagua pattern engraved on the ground.
There was a sky full of stars above his head, and he felt like the world was under his control.
"Ancestor, you called me?"
Leng Hanjiang spoke respectfully.
Xuanjing Heavenly King Leng Guanxing pinched the magic formula with his hands, his eyes slightly lowered, and a faint voice came from all directions: "What do you think of Ye Chen?"
