After obtaining the Heavy Pupils, Ye Chen felt like a young boy with a new toy, eager to test it out. However, soon enough, reason prevailed. Encountering Su Yuxuan and benefiting from a fiftyfold return wasn't something that happened easily.

Earning spirit stones was far more important than showing off. As for being trapped here, whether or not the enemy would receive reinforcements didn't concern Ye Chen at all. He wasn't worried before he had the Heavy Pupils, and he was even less concerned now that he had them.

After all, as long as it was within the Foundation Establishment stage, whether early, middle, or late, as long as no Golden Core came along, Ye Chen was confident he could easily kill anyone. And if there were too many enemies and he couldn't fight them all, escaping would still be a breeze.

So, Ye Chen sat quietly in the great hall, waiting for Su Yuxuan to finish her cultivation.

...

In the blink of an eye, another week passed.

Ye Chen used a few more fortification talismans to keep the teetering array up for another two days. But it was clear. The array in the great hall was at its limit. It could collapse at any moment.

However, on this day, Su Yuxuan finally emerged from her seclusion. Joy was written all over her face. Using eyes with an innate Divine Ability as the main material, the Extreme Dao Blood Pupils she cultivated were far more powerful than she had imagined.

Not only was the effect of captivating souls stronger, most importantly, Su Yuxuan also sensed a force of destruction within her eyes. She now possessed Ye Chen's Eye of Destruction.

Although there was some loss in the refinement process, retaining only about seventy percent of its original power, It was still incredibly powerful. Having such an ace up her sleeve would undoubtedly be a huge help in her future endeavor to kill her master.

Arriving at the great hall, Su Yuxuan looked at Ye Chen, who still sat cross-legged with his eyes tightly shut. A complex expression flashed across her beautiful eyes. Both the Earth-Dao Foundation Establishment method and the Extreme Dao Blood Pupils had brought her immense benefits. All of these were undoubtedly provided by Ye Chen. Thus, her feelings toward Ye Chen were complicated.

Before Su Yuxuan could speak, Ye Chen chuckled lightly and said, "Junior Sister has finished her seclusion, hasn't she? How are the results?"

Su Yuxuan pursed her full lips: "The results are excellent. I'm confident I can kill all four enemies."

Hearing this, Ye Chen immediately smiled: "That's great. Here's a bottle of top-grade True Intent Pills for you. Although I'm blind, I can still make pills. With Junior Sister by my side in the future, I won't be useless. I can still make pills for you."

Watching Ye Chen speak with his eyes closed, as if fantasizing about spending the rest of his life with her, Su Yuxuan's icy heart trembled slightly.

Of course, she was lying. It was impossible for her to fight one against four, nor was it possible for her to spend her life with Ye Chen. Because as soon as the array failed, she would immediately use the Extreme Dao Blood Pupils' ban-breaking ability to escape. Ye Chen was undoubtedly doomed.

Taking the pills and seeing that the array might still hold a bit longer, Su Yuxuan resolved to give Ye Chen a swift end, sparing him from the torment of the Human Emperor Banner. This would be her final compensation to Ye Chen. Before draining Ye Chen, she would perform the acts Ye Chen enjoyed, as one last gesture.

Thus, Su Yuxuan gracefully approached Ye Chen: "Senior Brother's kindness to me is heavier than mountains. There is still time, and I wish to repay you with myself."

Ye Chen, with his eyes still closed, raised an eyebrow at her words.

If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

You think I'm naïve! So you're hungry and talking about repaying kindness, huh?

Although he couldn't meet Su Yuxuan every day, the fiftyfold feedback rate was quite beneficial when used occasionally.

Of course, Ye Chen wouldn't let Su Yuxuan disrupt his cultivation. And besides, the gift had already been given. Ye Chen was completely satisfied. Thus, he gently tapped the ground with his finger. The next moment, a loud explosion resounded, and the hall shook violently.

The array had failed.

...

Outside the great hall.

Kong Xiangli, Elder Black Soul, and others were already prepared for battle. Upon seeing the array fail, they immediately unleashed their terrifying spells, aiming to destroy the hall completely and leave Ye Chen and his companions with no chance to hide.

The combined force of the mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators was naturally immensely powerful. The inner hall of the Boundless Demon Sect exploded violently.

Su Yuxuan, who had been contemplating whether to use her "small foot" technique or something else, suddenly changed her expression. As the hall collapsed in a cloud of dust and debris, she immediately dashed in one direction. A mid-stage Foundation Establishment elder moved to intercept her.

However, Su Yuxuan's eyes flashed red, and a bloody divine light blasted out. Feeling the terrifying destructive force within it, the elder's face changed color and he quickly retreated to evade.

But as Su Yuxuan rushed toward the edge, the elder smirked coldly. The surroundings had already been sealed off, it wouldn't be so easy to break through. Everyone was supposed to die here...

However, in the next moment, the elder's cold smirk froze on his face. Su Yuxuan's eyes emitted a strange wave of power that directly exploded their carefully placed seals.

The next second, like a fish entering the sea, Su Yuxuan broke through the barriers and fled without looking back.

What kind of technique was this? Since when did Su Yuxuan learn such a pupil technique? Able to attack and break seals?

The elder was profoundly shocked and immediately thought to pursue. However, Elder Black Soul's voice rang out, "Let Su Yuxuan run for now, we'll settle scores with her later! First, let's kill this Ye Chen!"

Hearing this, the elder hesitated but then nodded. Ye Chen's reputation as a simp was well-known, and he was said to be extremely wealthy. His master, Gu Yunyun, surely had many treasures on him. Killing Ye Chen would at least be profitable.

Thus, the elder turned and flew back, ready to join the others in a concerted attack to kill Ye Chen.

...

The air was charged with tension as Kong Xiangli and Elder Black Soul, along with their cohort, were primarily focused on eliminating Ye Chen. Su Yuxuan's fate was of little concern to them.

They had anticipated that Ye Chen would attempt to escape alongside Su Yuxuan, given his reputation for being exceptionally fast. Thus, their primary strategy was to intercept him at all costs.

However, to their surprise, Ye Chen's presence remained fixed in the original spot. He made no attempt to move. As the dust settled, the group could clearly see Ye Chen sitting still with his eyes tightly shut.

Three mid-stage Foundation Establishment elders surrounded him closely, while an early-stage elder stood ready to assist from the periphery. An outer layer of enchantments ensured that Ye Chen was thoroughly trapped, his escape seemingly impossible.

Kong Xiangli, remembering how Ye Chen had dared to threaten him before, felt his killing intent surge.

"Ye Chen, weren't you supposed to be fast? Why don't you run now?" Kong Xiangli taunted, his voice dripping with menace.

He hesitated to strike, sensing something odd about Ye Chen's unmoving, eye-closed posture. He wanted to understand what Ye Chen was plotting.

At Kong's taunt, Ye Chen simply shook his head. "I've given my eyes to Su Yuxuan for her cultivation; there's no escaping for me now."

The crowd was stunned by his admission. They had been curious about how Su Yuxuan suddenly acquired a new pupil technique, something unseen before. So it turned out that Ye Chen had gifted his eyes to Su Yuxuan to develop a new technique?

The sheer absurdity... even though they had heard of Ye Chen's reputation as an extreme simp, witnessing it firsthand made them truly understand the extent of it. Could eyes even be gifted like that?

Elder Black Soul, a man infamous for his countless murders and enjoyment of torment, couldn't help but let out a cackling laugh: "Fellow Daoist Ye is truly infatuated! You must have been deceived by that Su Yuxuan. Now discarded, you must feel particularly spiteful. Keep that resentment; it will enhance the effects when you enter my Human Emperor Banner..."

However, Ye Chen simply shook his head again. "I don't hate her. I knew she would leave me, and I stayed put to give her a chance to escape. If she is well, it is a sunny day for me."

Elder Black Soul's eyes widened in disbelief. As a man who took pleasure in the suffering of others, even he felt a spark of anger.

"A man should stand tall and proud. With high cultivation, what woman can't you have? How can you debase yourself like this?" he muttered.

Kong Xiangli, too, was filled with disdain. "Sometimes I really don't understand you simps, going to die for a woman!"

Ye Chen, who had been sitting motionless, cracked a smirk. "You're not supposed to understand! Because everything I just said... was a lie! I stayed here... just to send you all on your way!"

In the next instant, Ye Chen finally lifted his eyelids...
