"We didn't kill you, not because we couldn't, but because we chose not to!" Yun Zheyue's bright eyes were cold. "But if you dare to anger me, I will strike you down with the ferocity of thunder!"

By this point, Yun Zheyue's sharp edge was fully revealed, no longer concealing her murderous intent.

Killing these people would come at some cost, but it was a cost she was willing to bear!

"Damn it!"

"Yun Zheyue, you possess the posture of the strongest descendant, indeed a peerless genius. But the ancient families have thrived for eons; even the Great Venerable of the Other Shore wouldn't dare provoke them. You have offended the four great families, and no one in heaven or earth will be able to save you!"

"Provoking the ancient families, you're courting death!"

The greatest enemy the ancient families faced in their struggle for supremacy in the mortal world wasn't Ye Chen, but Yun Zheyue!

The Huaxia Dragon Group is an official organization, safeguarding Huaxia's millennia-old foundation, and Yun Zheyue, as the controller of the Dragon Group, oversees all movements within Huaxia.

When the ancient families acted out of line and disrupted social order, how could Yun Zheyue not suppress them?

Just as Yun Zheyue said, in the land of Huaxia, she was a god; this was her domain, and she ruled it!

One sought to protect, while another brought calamity, leading to war.

"The ancient families are nothing but a fart!" Ye Chen suddenly exclaimed, looking down at all the members of the ancient families. "Do you know who I am? What right do you have to act arrogant in front of me?"

Yun Zheyue pursed her lips into a small pout with a look of mischief; Ye Chen was about to trick people again.

All members of the ancient families were now looking at Ye Chen. Those who were seeing him for the first time felt a sense of awe and wonder, as Ye Chen's aura was vast like a sea of smoke, unfathomable!

When they saw Ye Chen, it was as if they were looking at the strongest descendant!

Moreover, Ye Chen wasn't just inscrutably strong; he also had a penchant for shockingly bold statements.

In his eyes, the ancient families were nothing but a fart, and this was truly an imposing and domineering stance!

"You must be furious inside, questioning what right I have to say these things!" Ye Chen said. "But that's the question, isn't it? Do you know who I am?"

"Yet I know, you definitely have no idea because you're not authorized!"

"The ancient families are nothing but a fart in my eyes, and I dare to say so because I have the right to!"

"The strongest among your ancient families is merely the Great Venerable of the Other Shore, what's so proud about that?" Ye Chen bragged recklessly, reducing the ancient families to the level of a third-rate gang in just a few words.

"You're courting death, scum!" a powerful fighting immortal roared in anger.

The people of the ancient families had a sense of superiority, and Ye Chen's brazen attitude deeply provoked them.

"Ignorant junior, when our clan's Great Venerable of the Other Shore descends, it will be your end!"

Though unable to defeat Ye Chen and Yun Zheyue, the people of the ancient families were always very aggressive.

Since the ancient families were so detached, with the Great Venerable of the Other Shore among them, they feared no enemy.

"The Great Venerable of the Other Shore, what is there to fear? A flick of a finger could extinguish him!" Ye Chen spoke casually, his expression well controlled, elevating his presence with a single sentence.

"You're merely at the Ten Dragons' Ascension, what right do you have to say such things!" He Bingyun seethed with resentment, furiously berating Ye Chen.

He Bingyun was nearly bullied to death by Ye Chen, so seeing him play the sanctimonious sage, she was the first to jump out wanting to expose and humiliate him.

"Huh, it seems you really don't know who I am!" Ye Chen said with a cold laugh. "The Great Venerable of the Other Shore may be powerful, but is far from invincible!"

"Saintly Great Powers are the truly invincible beings, the supreme rulers of the universe. Ancient families like yours are but third-rate powers that Saints could extinguish with a flick of the finger!" Ye Chen looked down on the ancient families as if he himself were a lofty Saint.

"Saintly Great Powers are grand and boundless as the heavens and earth, the most transcendent beings. While ancient families possess powerful lineages, indeed, they are nothing compared to Saints," He Bingyun generously admitted. Then, with a hardened tone, she said, "But you are not a Saint. What right do you have to judge so freely?"

"Hmph!" Ye Chen sneered. "I have a mysterious ancestor by the name of Ye Tianshi. Are you familiar with him?"

"Ye Tianshi is a Saintly Great Power. How could he be your ancestor!" A strong battle immortal scoffed, clearly disdainful.

There are only a few Saints in the world, and the people of the ancient families naturally knew of them because, in this world, there were only those few Saints who they dared not provoke.

"I don't wish to debate this with you, because if you pay a little attention, you can easily find out for yourselves!" Ye Chen said.

"Heh," someone scoffed, clearly not believing Ye Chen's words.

"Ancient families inherited from ancient times are indeed extremely old lineages, weathered by the years. Currently, there are only nine such ancient families in existence!" Ye Chen said. "Of the nine ancient families, the strongest is the Di family, because it has a Saint in its midst!"

The people of the ancient families were suddenly surprised, looking at Ye Chen with a bewildered expression. How did this guy know so much?

Because what Ye Chen said was true, among the nine great families, the Di family was indeed the most powerful!

But the ancient families hid within the realm of mortals, and Ye Chen was not one of them. How could he know so much?

Ye Chen's behavior was bizarre, and he knew many secrets, causing some to furrow their brows, as if they realized there was a problem.

"That ancestor of the Di family, named Di Lintian, is on good terms with my ancestor. He's the godfather I've kowtowed to and acknowledged!" Ye Chen declared.

The Di family's Saint is Di Lintian, that supreme ruler of the universe!

Di Lintian and Ye Tianshi were both Saints with a deep friendship. Thus, due to his connection with Ye Tianshi, Di Lintian had exchanged with Ye Chen, imparting many secrets of heaven and earth, which is why Ye Chen knew so much.

"This—"

The people from the four great families wore looks of shock and suspicion, feeling as if they were in a bind.

Ye Chen's words were terrifying; the invincible Saint of the Di family was his godfather?!

"Nonsense, spouting lies; you're deceiving us!" He Bingyun pointed at Ye Chen, seemingly unwilling to accept this reality.

However, Ye Chen carried himself with an imposing air, making it difficult for one to discern truth from lies in the moment.

The Di family was the leading family, supremely revered precisely because of the presence of Di Lintian.

If Ye Chen was truly Di Lintian's godson, then the matter at hand was grave indeed.

"You are really so fragile-hearted. I've barely started speaking, and you can't bear it?" Ye Chen mocked.

"..."

"Coming from ancient families, you must be very familiar with the Canglan Realm, right?" Ye Chen's imposing aura increased as he spoke nonchalantly.

"You know of the Canglan Realm?" asked a powerful battle immortal in astonishment.

Ye Chen knowing about the ancient families was already shocking enough, but he even knew about the Canglan Realm!

The Canglan Realm is another cultivation plane, even more vast and boundless than this one, an enormous world full of splendor.

In that realm, myriads of races thrive; it's a paradise for cultivators where the Great Venerable of the Other Shore often appears, and even Saints come forth to meet.

But, the existence of that realm is top secret, something the ancient families couldn't possibly know universally. How did Ye Chen come to know all this?
