"The most powerful successor of the Twelve Golden Hairpins!"

The seven Supreme Lords broke through the air, and Ye Chen left as well, but the shock was just beginning.

"Ye Chen's idea is so absurd, how could the Supreme Lords possibly agree?" a disciple howled.

Ye Chen becoming a disciple of the seven Supreme Lords was simply a fairy tale, yet it had happened, witnessed by tens of thousands of disciples here!

"To become a common disciple of the twelve Supreme Lords, what an exalted honor that must be; even young supremes might envy it?"

The Twelve Golden Hairpins of Baihua Palace were invincible and powerful, even able to contend with Saints in battle, creating countless glories and miracles. For Ye Chen to become their disciple was undoubtedly a tremendous honor!

"Ye Chen is such an aberrant being that even Saints would scramble to take him as a disciple! The Supreme Lords must have had various considerations in accepting him together, probably afraid that the Saints would snatch him away!" someone speculated.

Ye Chen's combat prowess was astonishing and unprecedented, surpassing young supremes, ascending to the ninety-eighth floor of the Demon Suppressing Tower, just one step away from reaching the pinnacle!

This peerless individual was rare in history; it was no rush decision by the Supreme Lords to accept him, Ye Chen deserved such treatment!

"For Ye Chen to reach the ninety-eighth floor of the Demon Suppressing Tower is indeed inconceivable. But Baihua Palace is a sacred place for female cultivators; suddenly, a peerless male cultivator rises and is openly accepted as a disciple by the Supreme Lords, is this really okay?"

Baihua Palace has always been a domain of female cultivators, a mark of their sanctity. The rise of a male cultivator in Baihua Palace and the attention he receives from the Supreme Lords might damage the Palace's reputation?

"In the Canglan Continent, the strong are respected."

"Ye Chen has the qualifications to be given attention. What if the Supreme Lords don't seize the opportunity and other sects snatch Ye Chen away?"

Baihua Palace has a severe case of bias, with the idea of female dominance over males difficult to change, but some disregard this, as the strong are always strong, and Ye Chen has proven his strength.

"Baihua Palace is the holy land for all female cultivators in the world, how can they allow a male cultivator to rise?"

"What are you talking about 'female cultivator' and 'male cultivator'? Do you dare say that in front of Ye Chen? He could kill you with one punch!"

In the face of the seven Supreme Lords, the disciples dared not act out. But once the Supreme Lords left, the disciples could no longer hold back and spoke whatever was on their minds.

The unique ethos of Baihua Palace and the attention paid by the Supreme Lords to Ye Chen made many disciples uncomfortable.

Nevertheless, Ye Chen's extraordinary strength won him many admirers.

Regardless of opposition, disciples are still just disciples and could not influence the decisions of the Supreme Lords.

However, one thing was certain: Ye Chen had soared to fame and had become an additional True Disciple of Baihua Palace! Given Ye Chen's performance, he might even have the chance to become a Saint Heir in the future.

"Ye Chen's combat prowess is magnificent, surpassing even Holy Maiden Feng Wu and outdoing Fairy Qin Yan. How could such an invincible supreme king become a follower of Leng Aofu?"

This question baffled many, as Leng Aofu's cultivation was not even on par with the young supremes. How could Ye Chen become her follower?

At this moment, Leng Aofu became the center of attention, with countless eyes on her, filled with disbelief.

"When I took him as a follower, he did not have the brilliance he does now... I never imagined he would become so powerful!"

Without any explanation, Leng Aofu, like everyone else, was astonished at Ye Chen's strength.

Leng Aofu knew Ye Chen was very strong, not weaker than any young supreme! However, she had not imagined that Ye Chen could be so powerful, surpassing young supremes and even comparable to that Heavenly Emperor!

"When Qin Yan went traveling, she asked me to look after Ye Chen, fearing that Leng Aofu would give him trouble..."

"Yet now, they're colluding together, where do they need my care?" Tao Xi Yao gritted her teeth with hatred in the crowd.

Qin Yan's heart was disturbed by Ye Chen, so she left Baihua Palace to rebuild her invincible heart.

Baihua Palace had strict customs, and Qin Yan, concerned about Ye Chen, approached Tao Xi Yao before leaving, asking her to take care of him.

Tao Xi Yao admired Qin Yan. Although she had not shown herself, she had been paying close attention to Ye Chen.

However, Tao Xi Yao had never imagined that the person Qin Yan asked her to take care of would defect to serve under Leng Aofu!

"Ye Chen was a follower of Sister Qin, how could he suddenly betray Sister Qin and switch allegiance to Leng Aofu?" Tao Xi Yao wondered, perplexed.

She was watching Ye Chen all along, but how could she have not noticed Ye Chen's betrayal of Qin Yan and his newfound closeness to Leng Aofu?

"This Ye Chen is despicable, pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, working with Leng Aofu to dupe everyone!" All of a sudden, Tao Xi Yao clenched her fists tightly, a murderous aura surged around her, filled with towering hatred!

Qin Yan had briefed Tao Xi Yao about Ye Chen's formidable abilities, which was why she wagered fifty million Vajra Elixirs on him reaching the ninetieth floor of the Demon Suppressing Tower.

But Ye Chen's abilities were excessively formidable; he did not just reach the ninetieth but went on to the ninety-first... ninety-eighth floor!

He had reached an unprecedented level, unmatched in history!

Fifty million Vajra Elixirs wasn't a small amount, even for a True Disciple like Tao Xi Yao; this loss wasn't ruinous, but it was substantial.

"Good heavens, Leng won, she swept the whole game!"

Someone suddenly realized, remembering the bet.

"The descent of the seven Supreme Lords shocked me so much I almost forgot about the bet!"

Ye Chen's performance was so shocking that it finally alerted the seven Supreme Lords, leaving everyone deeply shaken, and for a while, they all forgot about the bet.

At that moment, as the sect leader departed and the storm subsided, the disciples recalled the wager that had even moved the sect leader—an extravagant bet.

"Ye Chen is a dark horse beyond all expectations, surging to the ninety-eighth floor and leaving everyone utterly defeated!"

"Several True Disciples must be hiding in the privy, weeping!" The True Disciples had placed the largest bets and naturally suffered the most grievous losses.

"This bet had odds of one to one hundred, attracting countless disciples to place their wagers. Leng wiped the floor with all of them, winning how many Vajra Elixirs?" Someone thought about it and felt a tingling scalp; the wealth was so immense, it was almost frightening.

"Good heavens, Leng is organizing her storage treasures; there are so many Vajra Elixirs they can't all fit, and disciples have to carry them on their backs!"

Vajra Elixirs have storage bags to contain them, but the space inside these bags is ordinary, nowhere near the infinite space of a Qiankun Bag, so they can only hold a limited amount of Vajra Elixirs.

Ordinary storage treasures can only hold ten million Vajra Elixirs; with no less than eight or ten billion on the betting table, how could just the storage treasures suffice?

What to do if they don't fit? Just have people carry them!

Thus, an envy-inducing scene unfolded: a group of disciples brimming with storage bags full of Vajra Elixirs!

"Sisters, carry away all the Vajra Elixirs and deliver them to my grand abode!"

Leng Aofu, in high spirits and radiant, directed a line of disciples bearing Vajra Elixirs to her residence within the palace.

These Vajra Elixirs, if exchanged for treasures of the sect, would at most equate to four or five items. But such treasures are exceedingly rare, and ordinary disciples have little chance to encounter them, hence lack any real concept of them!

However, everyone was clear on the value of Vajra Elixirs and understood what ten billion of them represented!

Leng Aofu deliberately made a spectacle, having a group of disciples carry the storage bags to make the disciples here shudder in awe!

The more stunned the disciples were by this event, the more they would tirelessly promote it, and her prestige would soar even higher!

Ye Chen's ascent to the ninety-eighth floor of the Demon Suppressing Tower made her the biggest beneficiary, with Leng Aofu coming in second.

With a king as her servant and an uncountable number of Vajra Elixirs won, this could greatly boost her prestige, surpassing the Holy Maiden and overshadowing Fairy Qin Yan!

What is a life winner? Leng Aofu provided the perfect definition!

"I, Leng Aofu, made this audacious bet, and emerged victorious. This is thanks to the support from my fellow sect members, as well as my luck!" Leng Aofu grabbed a storage bag and declared to the countless disciples present, "I've decided to distribute wealth among my fellow disciples!"

"Sister is noble, a grand act of wealth distribution!"

Leng Aofu's show of opulence ignited passion in many, pushing the atmosphere to a climax, somewhat like at a product launch event.

"Here are ten million Vajra Elixirs to be shared among you!" Leng Aofu tossed the storage bag into the air, which instantly burst open, scattering countless Vajra Elixirs from the sky.

"Dang, that's extravagant! She's literally throwing money!" one disciple yelped, leaping into action to frantically grab the falling Vajra Elixirs.

"Leng's benevolence is immense, we thank you!" Leng Aofu's act of spreading wealth moved some disciples to tears; it felt like a sister was as caring as a mother, because she was giving out pocket money!

As Leng Aofu continued to spread her wealth, the disciples at the site boiled with excitement, each leaping and flying through the air to snatch the Vajra Elixirs.

The scene was lively but orderly.

All disciples present possessed cultivation, and as fellow sect members, they were passionate about the elixirs but not envious.

Moreover, Leng Aofu's gesture of distributing wealth secured her adoration from countless disciples, eclipsing all True Disciples and even the Holy Maiden Feng Wu, who stood by silently, dulled in comparison.

"Leng Aofu, you may seem triumphant now, but is that truly the case?" Feng Wu mused silently. "Ye Chen has caught the attention of the sect leader, will he still serve as your follower, Leng Aofu?"

At this point, Leng Aofu basked in unlimited glory, all thanks to Ye Chen; but now that Ye Chen had risen so rapidly, how could Leng Aofu continue to control him?

Now, while Leng Aofu was cheered on by countless disciples, Feng Wu remained unmoved. These weren't Leng Aofu's things to begin with, and she wouldn't be able to stir up much trouble with them!

Moreover, Feng Wu considered Ye Chen's acceptance as a disciple by the sect leader not a blessing, but a major disaster!

Baihua Palace was a sacred place for female cultivators, a tradition since ancient times. If Ye Chen were to rise powerfully, it would lead to an unending maelstrom!

Eventually, the male disciples within the palace might emulate Ye Chen, each striving for commanding positions, which could lead to significant shifts within Baihua Palace.

How could Baihua Palace, the holy land for female cultivators across the world, tolerate such occurrences?

Perhaps, the disciples of Baihua Palace have yet to realize it, but Ye Chen's presence is a ticking time bomb, poised to disrupt the current structure of Baihua Palace.
