Chapter 154: What Kind of Nobody Are You? Why Should I Give You Face?

"What? How is this possible? What kind of strength is this!"

"This feeling — this is a Great Vehicle Stage cultivator!"

"When did his Gusun family ever provoke such a great figure?"

"Did you not hear what that young man said? He has a Heavenly Dao oath with the Esteemed Founder!"

……

The guests' voices rang out incessantly. In this moment, everyone's gaze toward Ye Chen underwent a tremendous change — from disdain to shock, from mockery to admiration.

This world is simply thus — the weak are prey to the strong. With strength, one holds the right to speak on everything.

At this moment, Ye Chen took a single step. As he took that step, everyone in the Gusun family whose cultivation had not reached the Great Vehicle Stage instantly fell to their knees.

The people of the Gusun family underwent a drastic change in expression.

They had originally thought Ye Chen was nothing but a reckless hothead; they never expected he would possess such terrifying strength.

"Ye Chen! You are simply courting death!"

"Oh? And what if I am? Can you kill me?"

With every word Ye Chen uttered, he drew a fraction closer to the Esteemed Founder. With every fraction he advanced, the Esteemed Founder's expression grew a fraction more terrified.

"When you bullied and suppressed me back then, did you ever imagine there would come a day like today?"

"When you drove me into a corner back then, did you ever imagine that today, you too would be driven into a corner by me?"

"I originally had no grudge or enmity with you, yet you pressed forward at every step, vowing to put me to death."

Ye Chen spoke one word at a time, one step at a time. As his final word fell, he had already stood within less than ten meters of the Esteemed Founder.

"Today, I am taking this bride — that is settled!"

The instant Ye Chen's final word fell, his cultivation erupted in full.

The weaker members of the Gusun family instantly burst into mist of blood.

"Ye Chen, you go too far in bullying people!"

However, Ye Chen paid no attention to the Esteemed Founder's voice. He slowly walked past the Esteemed Founder — he did not even raise his head to glance at him.

"Yun Yun, I've come to take you home."

"Wah… wuwuwu…"

The moment Ye Chen's words fell, a loud wail instantly rang out. That cry contained far too many emotions.

There was sorrow, there was grief, there was also pleasant surprise, and the hope of regaining hope.

Ye Chen paid no regard to the Gusun family's face. He directly pulled Yun Yun into his embrace and gently stroked her back.

"It's alright, it's alright, everything is alright now. With me here, no one can do anything to you."

Ye Chen spoke softly to comfort her.

And behind them, the Esteemed Founder was gnashing his teeth in fury at this moment, fists clenched tight.

"Ye Chen, I want you dead!"

The Esteemed Founder roared. The next moment, he launched a furious attack on Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's actions today had undoubtedly caused him to lose all face. As a Great Vehicle Stage cultivator, he absolutely could not endure such humiliation.

However, in response to the Esteemed Founder's roar, Ye Chen did not even turn around. His own cultivation radiated outward, and the aura he emitted alone sent the Esteemed Founder flying back uncontrollably.

Boom!

Enormous energy poured forth, and the Esteemed Founder was slammed viciously into the ground.

And in the corner, Yun Zhan, who had been watching this scene all along, revealed a look of delight.

He had in fact been watching everything that happened here. It was just that he did not have that much confidence in Ye Chen, which was why he had remained motionless all this time.

Although he had previously sensed Ye Chen's Great Vehicle Stage cultivation, at the time he had assumed Ye Chen had forcibly raised his cultivation through some secret method, so he had not held too much hope.

Only at this moment did he fully realize that Ye Chen had not raised his cultivation through a secret method — he was a bona fide Great Vehicle Stage cultivator!

"Ye Chen! My sister is in your hands!"

Yun Zhan did not feel the slightest embarrassment. Although decades ago his cultivation had been higher than Ye Chen's, he had now been left far behind by Ye Chen. Yet even so, in his heart he was still happy.

As long as he could rescue his sister from the depths of suffering, what did it matter even if he lost his cultivation?

Gu Lan was also watching Ye Chen unblinkingly at this moment. His cultivation was now not even as high as Ye Chen's, but so what? He clearly remembered that Ye Chen… was Yun Yun's guardian!

"Profit, a massive profit!"

"Hahaha!"

In Gu Lan's heart, he was already blooming with laughter.

At the same time, the guests all turned their gazes toward Ye Chen and the Esteemed Founder. The course of events had far exceeded their expectations.

"Ye Chen!"

"What are you all standing there for? Why don't you act — kill him!"

The Esteemed Founder's voice was nearly a hoarse roar, eyes bulging wide, his fury written all over his face.

As the Esteemed Founder's words fell, several figures suddenly emerged from the crowd. Their cultivation was without exception at the Great Vehicle Stage.

Their auras were powerful. The moment they appeared, worry showed on the faces of both Yun Zhan and Gu Lan.

Although Ye Chen was also a Great Vehicle Stage cultivator, there were gaps even among Great Vehicle Stage cultivators.

However, when they saw the utterly unchanged expression on Ye Chen's face, for some reason, their tense hearts relaxed at this moment.

Ye Chen looked at them coldly. Holding Yun Yun in his arms, his Great Vehicle Stage aura was fully displayed. "Today I am taking her away. Let me see who dares to stop me."

Ye Chen's voice was not loud, but it resounded throughout the entire Gusun family.

"Kill, kill him, kill him for me!"

Today, only by killing Ye Chen could the humiliation on the Esteemed Founder be washed away.

As the Esteemed Founder's words finished, the several figures that had flown out from the crowd instantly charged toward Ye Chen.

Ye Chen saw this, calmly and without haste summoned the Nine Heavens Chaos Mystic Thunder; at the moment the Nine Heavens Chaos Mystic Thunder appeared, those few people were reduced to dust.

The whole process happened too fast; even some cultivators hadn't reacted before those few were slain by Ye Chen.

Everyone present, upon seeing this, couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

"What kind of strength is this?"

"Despite being fellow Great Vehicle cultivators, those few had no power to resist before this youth."

"Terrifying beyond measure!"

"What, what!"

Esteemed Founder was shocked to the extreme; he never imagined that Ye Chen could grow to this point in less than a hundred years.

"This is impossible!"

Esteemed Founder's Dao heart seemed to be utterly shattered by Ye Chen at this moment, his mouth constantly saying it was impossible, quite mad.

"Hahaha, impossible, this is impossible!"

"Fake, this must be fake, you're not Ye Chen!"

At this moment, everyone knew the name of the black-clad youth—he was Ye Chen!

An incredibly terrifying heaven's pride.

Ye Chen looked at the madly insane Esteemed Founder, his eyes devoid of any pity.

He controlled the Nine Heavens Chaos Mystic Thunder, attacking Esteemed Founder; if Esteemed Founder were struck by Ye Chen's Nine Heavens Chaos Mystic Thunder, he would surely die without a burial place.

However, at the very moment the Nine Heavens Chaos Mystic Thunder was about to strike Esteemed Founder, an incredibly terrifying force canceled out Ye Chen's Nine Heavens Chaos Mystic Thunder.

"Young friend, grant this old man some face, release my ignorant junior."

This voice was incredibly aged, yet resonant and forceful.

But Ye Chen's Heavenly Dao Oath is to exterminate the entire Ancient Sun Clan; how could he give him face?

"Who do you think you are? Why should I give you face?"

After Ye Chen said that, the whole place fell silent, so silent that even their breathing could be heard.
