It took a long while before Ye Chen finally raised his head, his lips stained with blood, the lifeblood essence of Fang.

Fang Ruolan had fallen unconscious, whether it was the shock from this bloody scene or the backlash from her lifeforce Gu being suppressed.

"How can this be? The feeling of weakness is gone, and I am actually getting stronger?!"

Ye Chen clenched his fists tightly, feeling the surge of power within him, and for a moment he was filled with shock and disbelief.

"This Fang's blood seems to be compatible with the dormant Gu King in my body, leading to some kind of incredible transformation!"

Ye Chen observed internally and noticed this transformation—bizarre, eerie, and powerful!

"Strange!" Ye Chen was momentarily bewildered, struggling to fathom these changes, but suddenly his expression shifted. "My realm is about to break through, so unexpectedly!"

Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat, signaling a breakthrough in his realm, but this breakthrough seemed extraordinarily unusual!

"Chu Yanran!" Ye Chen looked at Empress Chu.

"Ye Chen, are you alright?" Chu Yanran asked with concern.

"You have the chance to play the beauty saving the hero, protect me!" Ye Chen said earnestly.

"Ah?" Chu Yanran was startled.

"Thump!"

Ye Chen knelt without any composure and fell into an odd state of unconsciousness, emanating a presence that caused hearts to palpitate.

"Ye Chen? Ye Chen?!"

Seeing Ye Chen collapse so unexpectedly, Chu Yanran was somewhat flustered. What on earth was happening?

Even in a movie, there's no such thing as pretending to be dead without any acting skill, right?

"It seems I have arrived late!"

As Chu Yanran was still unsettled, a slender figure descended from the pavilion. Unparalleled in beauty with an icy demeanor,

seeing the chaotic mess here and the bodies of two Peerless Grandmasters, the ice-cold beauty's expression turned sour.

"Who are you?" Chu Yanran asked.

"Lin Ying, Ye Chen's personal bodyguard!" The icy beauty said coolly.

...

"Secure the scene well, do not tamper with the bodies. The higher-ups will send experts to handle this case!"

Qin Lan's pretty face was covered with frost as she surveyed the ruins of the nine-story Skywatch Pavilion, directing the on-site personnel to collect and analyze samples.

Skywatch Pavilion, a gathering place of top-tier nobility, saw Peerless Grandmasters clash and perish. Despite the police's best efforts to contain the news, the noble circles were still abuzz!

The ninth floor of the pavilion looked as though it had been trampled by a behemoth, leaving the on-site workers in shock. What kind of battle could have ruined such an indestructible building?

"How could this be! Big brother, how did you fall?!"

Suddenly, a figure of peerless grace appeared, exuding a terrifying presence, with an air of being Unparalleled!

"Who are you? This is a secured area, and no unrelated persons may come close!" Qin Lan said.

The newcomer had an extraordinary bearing, obviously a top expert, but Qin Lan, coming from a distinguished background, wasn't intimidated even by such a person.

However, even with Qin Lan's outcry, the newcomer didn't care. He stared blankly at the corpse on the ground, his face filled with grief.

"Big brother, you said you came here to kill a person, to repay a favor owed from many years ago!"

"But you never returned, and now you've died a violent death here!"

"Who is it, who killed you!"

"Big brother, as a late-stage Grandmaster, there are not many in this world who could kill you. I will definitely find that person and avenge you!"

This unparalleled figure gazed blankly at the corpse on the ground, but his body exuded an extremely violent aura, as if possessed by demons, ready to lash out at any moment, throwing the world into chaos.

This peerless individual was none other than the brother of the Grandmaster with the Great Compassion and Mercy, a being of supreme existence ranked on the Qingyun List!

"Take this person down!" Qin Lan commanded coldly.

Qin Lan observed that this person was extraordinary, but his soliloquy revealed that the person who killed Ye Chen was indeed his elder brother!

Qin Lan was someone who had clear-cut feelings of like and dislike. She liked Ye Chen, and anyone who dared to harm the person she liked would not have an easy time!

"How dare you!"

Seven or eight police officers, aiming their guns, attempted to surround this grandmaster, but with a roar from him, his imposing presence burst forth, intimidating the officers who tried to take action against him, causing their legs to buckle, and they knelt on the ground.

"You are all just ants, while I am a divine dragon soaring amongst the clouds. How dare these ants provoke the dragon—you've angered me, so you shall all die!"

This unparalleled individual was terrifying to an extreme, each note he uttered was like thunder roaring, and those who approached him had their eardrums bleed from the booming thunderous sound.

"Are you the highest ranking person here?" the grandmaster suddenly turned towards Qin Lan.

"What do you want!" Qin Lan shouted. "Even if you are a martial arts strongman, you shouldn't interfere so excessively with worldly affairs. You're so arrogant and reckless, are you not afraid of the Dragon Group experts coming to punish you!"

"Indeed, you are not ordinary, to know of the existence of the Dragon Group!" The individual expressed surprise, but soon he laughed. "I stand at the pinnacle, even the Dragon Group cannot harm me!"

"I've heard of people boasting, but never someone boasting to such an extent!" Qin Lan taunted, not holding back her mocking even in the face of a peerless individual.

"The Dragon Group is fearsome, with many unparalleled individuals!" The man smiled lightly. "But in the vast Dragon Group, there are only a few who I truly fear. What could you, a little girl, possibly know!"

"You are aware of the Dragon Group, which means you're no ordinary person. Tell me who killed my big brother!"

With a reach of his hand, he tried to seize Qin Lan, intending to force out the information about his brother's murderer.

"Not good!"

Qin Lan was horrified, wanting to draw her gun to shoot, but she found herself enveloped by his imposing aura, losing control over her body.

"Within my domain, everything is under my control, and within three feet all around me, I am a god!" The individual was terrifying with no bounds, laughing wantonly, as if a deity had descended.

The Qingyun strongmen were not Land Gods, but they were still much stronger than peak Grandmasters, all because they had cultivated their own martial domains. Within those domains, they were gods!

However, just as Qin Lan was becoming desperate, a figure silently appeared before her, striking out with a palm against the grand hand reaching towards her.

"Boom!"

Two peerless figures clashed, the void trembled, and berserk winds raged, their powers seemingly matched evenly!

"King Xiao! This girl knows who killed my big brother. Why do you obstruct me? Do you seek an unending feud with me?!" The individual was forced back by the blow, his face a mix of shock and anger, and upon seeing who it was, he let out a skyward howl.

"Lei Tianhu, this is my granddaughter, you cannot touch her!" Chen Youyu said nonchalantly; even if the opponent was an invincible figure on the Qingyun List, he showed no fear. King Xiao carried that very status.
