“Brother!
“I thought I would never see you again…”
Ye Wen hugged Ye Chen tightly. An indescribable bitterness filled her nose. Her eyes were misty.
“That’s enough. You’re already so old, yet you’re still acting like a child. Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at if this gets out?”
Ye Chen patted her shoulder lightly before releasing her. He looked at Xiao Ya, Tang Ning, and Yu Shasha.
“Thank you for your hard work during my absence!”
A hint of guilt flashed across his eyes. When he turned around, his smile gradually faded, and his dark eyes stared coldly at Azure Dragon and the others.
The four of them instantly felt the pressure on them loosen, and then they regained their mobility. Even so, they still did not dare move.
Plop!
Azure Dragon knelt before Ye Chen and said while shivering, “M-Mr. Ye, please… please spare me.”
“So you knew about me!”
Ye Chen was slightly surprised. There was mockery in his eyes, “I thought you didn’t know me.”
“Mr. Ye, it’s a misunderstanding. This is all a misunderstanding!”
Azure Dragon was so shocked that he wanted to die. He kowtowed with all his might and said, “W-We all thought that you…are dead…”
“In that case, if I’m really dead, it gives you the permission to touch my people?”
The smile on Ye Chen’s face turned colder, “Do you guys know that I hate traitors the most in my life…
“Die!”
Azure Dragon growled through gritted teeth. Then, he quickly took out a bag of poison powder at Ye Chen. Anyone who touched it would turn into blood instantly.
However, to his horror, the bag of poison powder stopped moving after it was thrown into the air. He met Ye Chen’s mocking gaze.
His body shuddered, and without another word, he leaped toward the window of the building, as if he wanted to escape through the window. The other three did the same.
On the other hand, Ye Chen lifted his palm and extended it gently. A slender palm seemed to pierce through void and covered the space where the four of them were.
“No!” Azure Dragon roared.
Bang, bang, bang…
The four bodies exploded into bloody mist.
“You guys should die for helping the evildoer!”
Ye Chen looked at the Star Pavilion guards who were stunned next to him again. A sword intent surged in his eyes. Subsequently, it turned into sword intent that filled the sky and slashed at them.
The ground was filled with dead bodies.
The series of actions were completed in the blink of an eye. When Ye Wen and the rest reacted, they were completely stunned.
They were four mutant kings who were comparable to half-step martial emperors. However, Ye Chen had killed them effortlessly.
“Brother, you’re too awesome!”
Ye Wen was the first to react. Her eyes were filled with admiration as she looked at Ye Chen. The four mutant kings that her Star Group had spent countless resources nurturing were no different from ants in Ye Chen’s hands.
The other three women did not look any better.
Ye Chen sat down and said while smiling, “Tell me what happened to you guys while I was away…”
“So this happened…” Ye Wen said slowly.
As she explained, Ye Chen roughly understood the experiences of many people in Tiannan when he was away.
Among them, the Patriarch of Hell was the one who improved the fastest. He had sensed it on the day the spiritual energy on Earth was restored. Then, he used the spiritual energy to break through several stages and entered Golden Core at once.
When the patriarch was undergoing the Golden Core Tribulation, he went to the capital of Japan alone and released his aura to trigger the Golden Core Tribulation.
This dirty trick had killed countless political figures in the capital of Japan. Even the Tokyo Tower, the symbol of Japan, had been struck down by lightning.
After that, the Japanese sent 10,000 Self-Defense Forces to fight the patriarch with fighter jets, tanks, and nuclear bombs. In the end, not only did the patriarch escape, he even killed many of them.
As the world changed drastically, all kinds of animals and plants mutated. The Patriarch of Hell was the first to notice the benefits. For instance, the age of the mutated herbs increased exponentially, or the beast core of the ferocious beasts could be used to refine medicine.
Therefore, under the guidance of the Patriarch of Hell, the Star Group started to operate with all its financial resources. Within three months, it became the No. 1 consortium in China. Even the five major consortiums behind it could not catch up to it.
Meanwhile, Yan Nanfei, Pang Yuanqing, Han Qinhu, and the rest stepped into Emperor Stage under the guidance of the Patriarch of Hell.
As the three provinces of Tiannan were located in the mountains, there were many forests and mountains. After many animals mutated, it led to beast horde outbreaks that continuously attacked the human cities of Tiannan.
The Star Group made a prompt decision to cooperate with the government. They mobilized a large amount of wealth, manpower, and formed an alliance army. Yan Nanfei and the others would lead the team to kill the beast hordes.
It was why Tiannan was now safe.
Ye Chen said in confusion, “Why didn’t the Patriarch of Hell kill all of them when the five consortiums teamed up against my Star Group?”
“Brother, you’ve no idea!”
Ye Wen explained, “After the spiritual energy recovery, many powerful almighties suddenly appeared in the world. The patriarch said that these old undyings were ancient beings who were in deep sleep. Now that the spiritual energy has recovered, they have awakened!
“Therefore, many forbidden places and secret lands appeared. Many ancient almighties appeared in China. For instance, after the river stopped flowing, the dragon palace was discovered at the bottom of the river, and the old dragon that spoke human language…
“There were also many mummified pharaohs resurrected in the pyramids of ancient Egypt. There was also a sphinx that turned into a big man!
“Someone saw a divine light rise into the sky within the Holy See, and then an angel with wings descended, and on Mount Olympus, there were Gods chanting…”
She paused for a moment and said, “The patriarch suspected that the five consortiums had an ancient almighties backing them up. He was worried that he would be targeted if he was too high-profile, so he didn’t kill them all…”
Ye Chen nodded slowly when he heard that.
It was indeed the style of the patriarch. In his previous life, he was a Tribulation Stage almighty after all. It was naturally not that simple to be able to grow to such an extent.
Thinking to this point, he could not help but say, “Before I came, I heard that the patriarch went to Mount Tai and was suppressed by an ancient almighty. Is that true?”
The four women’s expressions turned grim when they heard that. In the end, Xiao Ya said, “Master, patriarch has indeed gone to Mount Tai. He hasn’t returned for a month now. The people we sent to gather information haven’t returned either.”
“Brother, do you think the patriarch is…”
Ye Wen said worriedly. It could be said that Ye Chen relied on the patriarch to help when he was not around. Therefore, they still had feelings for the patriarch.
“Probably not!”
Ye Chen smiled lightly when he met the women’s worried gazes, “The patriarch is wise. I don’t even know how many tricks he has.
“However, I do have to make a trip to Mount Tai to see who dares to attack the patriarch!”
He harrumphed coldly, and his smile was filled with boundless coldness, “Some people think that I’m dead, so they dare to stir up a ruckus. It’s time to let them know that…
“The invincible me is back…
