The voice of Saint Jue Qing was indifferent, devoid of any emotion. Though not loud, it resonated throughout the heavens and earth, reaching everyone's ears.

However, the meaning of her words was so overpowering that it left everyone stunned.

Since the visitor is a guest, you still want to cripple them?

Moreover, those who dare to challenge Ye Chen are all unrivaled geniuses. You think you can cripple them just like that?

The crowd finally understood why Ye Chen was so arrogant; it was entirely due to the bad example set by Saint Jue Qing. Ye Chen's arrogance was completely learned from Saint Jue Qing.

"I don't want to commit unnecessary slaughter either. I will try not to kill; if I can cripple, I'll just cripple them!"

Among the cultivators present, there were many hidden talents and a few formidable figures, even Ye Chen had to take them seriously and couldn't afford to be careless.

So, if anyone resisted too fiercely, Ye Chen would only have to kill them for satisfaction.

"Damn, you think you can cripple just because you want to? Do you think you're a Saint?" someone sneered.

The current situation had everyone's attention. To speak contemptuously of Ye Chen at such a moment definitely meant that the person came from a super powerful force and had the backing of a Saint.

"Is a Saint that great?" Ye Chen laughed.

"The ignorant are fearless!" the person sneered coldly.

"Boom!"

Ye Chen didn't argue with this person, he directly unleashed his power, intending to soar into the heavens and commence the much-anticipated battle.

However, just as Ye Chen took two steps, a woman blocked his path.

"Ye Chen, I've come to support you!" Qing Luo stood in front of Ye Chen. "Also, my godmother is here too, you need to perform well!"

Ye Chen had already seen Qing Luo, but worried that the public opinion might hurt, he didn't approach her.

But Qing Luo wasn't afraid of rumors at all. Not only did she come to find Ye Chen, she also brought her godmother along.

"Saint Linglong is here?" Ye Chen laughed.

Qing Luo had once promised him something ridiculous, which was to introduce her godmother to him. Now that she brought her godmother along, the thought amused Ye Chen.

"Ye Chen, my godmother is a Sage King. We couldn't hide our affair from her!" Qing Luo whispered to Ye Chen. "If you don't behave well and fail to satisfy her, she might just break up our relationship!"

"So that's how it is... I thought you were here to fulfill your promise and introduce your godmother to me!" Ye Chen scratched his head with an embarrassed smile, realizing he had overthought.

"Ye Chen, my godmother is very angry right now. If it weren't for my earnest pleas, she would have taken action against you already!" Qing Luo said seriously and earnestly, wanting Ye Chen to realize the gravity of the situation.

"Today is my Ascension Ceremony, with hundreds of thousands of cultivators here to witness. Saint Linglong won't take action against me!" Ye Chen replied. "Besides, even if she plans to suppress or punish me, it will be after the ceremony!"

"Does that make any difference?" Qing Luo asked.

"Yes, it does!" Ye Chen replied. "I can't defeat your godmother now, but after the ceremony, that might change!"

Ye Chen had an epiphany; he was just one step away from making further progress!

This step forward could either mean attaining Sainthood or mastering the fifth style of the Heavenly Emperor Fist.

Regardless of which, Ye Chen would become unrivaled and would have the qualifications to challenge a Sage King!

"How did you cultivate so quickly, you're almost at the level of a Sage King already?" Qing Luo was shocked.

Having been taught by Saint Linglong since childhood, Qing Luo understood the vast gap between a Saint and a Sage King!

For Ye Chen to have Saint Realm battle power was already astonishing enough! But they hadn't been apart for long, and Ye Chen had already become a match for a Sage King?!

So, Qing Luo's first reaction was that Ye Chen must have been causing trouble for women. If he hadn't been exploiting women, he couldn't have cultivated so fast!

"I have many women; once I succeed in my ascension, I'll introduce them to you!" Ye Chen laughed. "Alright, go find Feng Wu to play. I still have battles to fight, and tens of thousands of people are waiting for me!"

"..."

"Are Qing Luo and Ye Chen old acquaintances?"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ye Chen was about to ascend the nine heavens, waiting for the challengers. However, Qing Luo's sudden appearance to block Ye Chen's path caused many to glance over, guessing at their relationship.

But Ye Chen and Qing Luo were using secret voice transmission, making it impossible for others to eavesdrop or discern their conversation.

"Huh, Ye Chen is being stopped again, what's going on?" someone asked in surprise.

"..."

After sending off Qing Luo, Ye Chen was about to soar into the nine heavens and start the peak battle.

But he had barely started to take off before being stopped again.

It was a man and a woman. The man was handsome and elegant, while the woman was beautiful and graceful, blocking Ye Chen's path.

"Supreme Lord Lingtian and Supreme Lord Lingxi, these two are life-and-death enemies, how come they've teamed up and come to trouble Ye Chen?" someone exclaimed upon seeing the scene before them.

The ones stopping Ye Chen were none other than Supreme Lord Lingtian of the Southern Barbarian Palace and Supreme Lord Lingxi of the Holy Flame Palace!

However, Lingtian and Lingxi were life-and-death enemies; whenever they met, they would engage in a fierce battle. Why had they set aside their grudges to jointly target Ye Chen now?

"Your question shows your lack of intelligence and ignorance of the strong. You clearly don't follow the high-rank cultivator circle!" someone sneered at the cultivator who asked the question. "Ye Chen wreaked havoc in the Void Land, not only crippling Saintess Heavenly Fire but also maiming the Saint Heir of Southern Barbarian Palace. Who else would they come to trouble if not Ye Chen?"

Ye Chen's rampage in the Void Land couldn't entirely be kept secret. Many knew that Ye Chen's fierce and unrivaled power had crippled Saintess Heavenly Fire and the Saint Heir of Southern Barbarian Palace.

At this moment, Supreme Lord Lingtian and Supreme Lord Lingxi set aside their vendetta to confront Ye Chen together, their intentions obvious.

"Who are you?" Ye Chen looked at the two people in front of him and asked.

Ye Chen naturally knew who they were!

Because the moment Ye Lingtian and Lingyun appeared, Ye Chen's blood stirred, as if it resonated with something.

Moreover, although Ye Chen appeared calm on the surface, he felt like he was about to explode inside! His blood was boiling; it was a kind of wild joy coming from the deepest part of his heart upon seeing his origin.

"Ye Chen, I'm Lingxi, your..." Saintess Lingxi hesitated and then stopped.

"Ye Chen, I am your father. Call me dad, quickly!" Ye Lingtian was very happy to see Ye Chen because his son was incredibly handsome, almost more handsome than him! How could Ye Lingtian not be happy with such an incredibly handsome son?

"Please step aside, I don't know you!" Ye Chen said.

"My son, don't pretend anymore. We know everything!" Lingxi's eyes were red, and if there weren't so many people around, she would have started crying loudly.

Ye Chen had been in the Canglan Realm for a few years. Lingxi always knew he was in Baihua Palace. However, because the troubles Ye Chen caused were too great, Lingxi couldn't come easily.

For years, Lingxi had been tormented!

But it wasn't until today that she came to Baihua Palace and saw her son!

Lingxi was very excited, so excited that her body couldn't be controlled, and her bloodline trembled!

"Kid, I am your real father. When you were little, I even held you and you peed on my head!"

"Ye Chen, good son, quickly call me dad!"

In contrast to Lingxi's tenderness, Ye Lingtian was much rougher. He shook Ye Chen's hand desperately, begging Ye Chen to call him dad, clearly desperate for it.

"..."

The strange behavior of Ye Lingtian and Lingxi left everyone completely bewildered.

Some people looked at each other in confusion, not understanding what was going on. What exactly was this situation?

"You idiot!" Ye Chen noticed the curious glances around him and flicked his hand, throwing Ye Lingtian away.

"Ye Chen, you dare hit your dad!" Ye Lingtian staggered back, almost falling.

"Who's your dad? Do I know you?" Ye Chen sneered.

"..."

"My son, it's all mother's fault. I shouldn't have abandoned you!" Lingxi said to Ye Chen with guilt, tears welling up in her eyes as if they could fall at any moment.

"Who's your son?" Ye Chen's eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at Lingxi. "I've never seen you before. How could I be your son?"

Ye Chen's question was so sharp that it left Lingxi speechless.

"Ye Chen, what do you mean? Even if we were wrong, we are still your real parents!" Ye Lingtian felt uneasy because he recognized that Ye Chen was unwilling to be close to them.

"Haha, you must be kidding!" Ye Chen said. "There are countless people in this world, and you suddenly come and say you're my parents. Do you think I'm that gullible?"

"Are you the fool or am I?" Ye Chen said.

"..."

"If you have nothing else to do, get out of my way and don't block my path!" Ye Chen said.

"Ye Chen, I really am your father. You truly are my son!" Ye Lingtian said seriously and sternly.

"My father died long ago and is buried in a grave. How could you be my father?" Ye Chen said. "And this lady here, my mother also died long ago. Stop pretending!"

"..."

Perhaps out of guilt, Ye Lingtian and Lingxi didn't say anything. Ye Chen had hit their sore spot.

Back then, Lingxi and Ye Lingtian irresponsibly pretended to be dead and left Ye Chen.

Now, not only did Ye Chen recognize them, but he also said they were already dead. Wasn't this just a slap in their face?

"Son, I really didn't die. I faked my death to trick you!" Ye Lingtian said.

"My son, mother didn't die either. I just left you!" Lingxi said.

"Brother and sister, can't you choose someone else to trick?" Ye Chen said helplessly.

"..."

They were Ye Chen's real parents, yet Ye Chen called them brother and sister. This made them feel strange and gave them the urge to discipline their son.

However, Ye Chen was no longer an infant; they couldn't beat this son anymore!

Moreover, they didn't show Ye Chen any love. What right did they have to discipline him?

"Why aren't Supreme Lord Lingtian and Supreme Lord Lingxi making a move? What are they secretly communicating with Ye Chen about?"

"Why does Supreme Lord Lingxi seem about to cry? What on earth has happened?"

"Strange, given the situation, it doesn't look like they're about to fight?"

Supreme Lord Lingtian and Supreme Lord Lingxi didn't seem to intend to fight. Instead, they looked like they were explaining something to Ye Chen, leaving the onlookers dumbfounded. What's going on here? Are they fighting or not? If not, we're changing the channel!

"My son, mother shouldn't have abandoned you. I realize my mistake now. Please forgive me!"

Lingxi ran away right after giving birth to Ye Chen, without ever fulfilling her duties as a mother. But now she knew she was wrong, and she wanted to make amends!
