Chapter 160: Me? I Am Yun Yun's Protector

The old man, eyes watery and trembling, spoke, tears swirling, and the Gu Sun family members behind him also knelt, begging Ye Chen.

However, Ye Chen only stared coldly.

Yun Yun stood beside him, silent.

"Leave a spark for you, then wait for him to finish his training and return, to seek revenge on me?"

Ye Chen's voice was so cold that the old man and the Gu Sun family members couldn't help but shiver.

"No, that's not it; we only wish to continue our bloodline."

The old man said earnestly.

Yet, Ye Chen had never intended from the start to spare any Gu Sun family members.

Moreover, there was a Heavenly Dao oath between them, and for that reason he could not let the Gu Sun family live.

"You all go back first; I'll finish matters here, then I'll come find you."

Ye Chen suddenly turned and said to Yun Yun; Yun Yun, hearing this, said nothing, only looked at Ye Chen and gave a slight nod.

Afterwards, Yun Yun went to Yun Zhan and Gu Lan, and Yun Zhan and Gu Lan, seeing Yun Yun return to their side, asked puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing; he told us to go back first, and after he resolves the matter here, he'll come find us."

"Alright, then we'll go back first."

Gu Lan said, and then they headed toward the Yun Family's direction.

And before leaving, Yun Yun turned back to glance at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen sensed Yun Yun looking at him, but he made no response, his expression still indifferent.

Yun Yun, seeing this, let out a soft sigh and left.

After Yun Yun and the others completely left, Ye Chen's aura suddenly erupted.

The Gu Sun family members, witnessing this, fully understood that their Gu Sun family was truly finished.

……

Ye Chen moved swiftly and quickly, causing none of the remaining Gu Sun family any pain.

Moreover, to eliminate any future threat, he used a bloodline lock to wipe out the Gu Sun family members outside as well.

The Gu Sun family's Quasi-Emperor had already been slain by him, there were few Grand Ascendant cultivators left, and those outside had no power to resist; when facing Ye Chen's might, they faced only annihilation.

With the matter settled, Ye Chen glanced at the Gu Sun family he had eradicated, felt nothing, and set a fire that burned the Gu Sun family to ash.

At that moment, he suddenly felt his body loosen, a strange force gradually drifting away from him.

"The Heavenly Dao oath… is over."

Ye Chen thought to himself.

"Next, it's time to set out, to the Xingkong Immortal Path, to seek the chance to become immortal; although the Immortal Path has been broken, I have created my own method, so becoming immortal is not without a sliver of hope for me."

Ye Chen said softly.

The moment Ye Chen finished speaking, a sense of danger suddenly surged in his heart.

Now, otherworldly cultivators eye them hungrily; the Eternal Immortal King, the Reincarnation Immortal King, and other Immortal Kings unknown to him, after paying a painful price, have repelled the otherworldly cultivators.

But countless eras have passed, and those otherworldly cultivators may be preparing to return.

"Time… is becoming more pressing."

As Ye Chen's words fell, his figure vanished on the spot, and in his hand he still held numerous golden talismans of various sizes.

These were the cultivations of Gu Sun family cultivators, and the kind‑hearted Ye Chen, unwilling that they could not meet after death, benevolently placed them all into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Such a great good person is rare in the mundane world!

After leaving the Gu Sun family, Ye Chen headed straight for the Yun Family; with his current strength, reaching the Yun Family took only a few breaths.

Although the Yun Family is tens of millions of li away from the Gu Sun family.

After arriving at the Yun Family, Ye Chen did not go to see Yun Yun; now he must seize every moment to grow stronger.

So he went directly to the Yun Family's decision‑maker, Yun Tianya.

Yun Tianya was still in seclusion, but that did not prevent Ye Chen from finding him.

Soon, Ye Chen appeared at the place where Yun Tianya was secluding; he stood outside the secret chamber, his hand lightly touching the chamber's door, and at the moment his hand touched, Yun Tianya's voice suddenly sounded from within.

"Fellow Daoist, hold on!"

Yun Tianya's voice was full of panic, because sensing Ye Chen's power, he intended to directly destroy the chamber's door.

This secret chamber was crafted with countless effort, and he could not let Ye Chen simply destroy it.

In the next moment, Yun Tianya appeared before Ye Chen.

Yun Tianya stared at Ye Chen, Ye Chen stared at Yun Tianya, and neither spoke first.

Eventually Yun Tianya yielded first, and asked Ye Chen, "Fellow Daoist, may I know why you have come to find me?"

Yun Tianya asked Ye Chen.

Yun Tianya had been in seclusion before; aside from handling Yun Yun's marriage affairs, he had never shown himself, so he did not know of Ye Chen's existence.

And when Yun Yun, Gu Lan, and Yun Zhan described Earth's ordeal, they also did not mention Ye Chen, so Yun Tianya was even less aware of Ye Chen's existence.

That Ye Chen could easily locate his secret chamber clearly showed his power had already reached the pinnacle.

Except for his Yun Family's founding ancestor, no other Yun Family member possessed such strength.

Therefore, Yun Tianya subconsciously regarded Ye Chen as an ancient monster from the same era as his ancestor.

Although Ye Chen appears only a few years young, those whose cultivation has peaked can easily maintain a youthful appearance.

"From now on, no one may interfere with Yun Yun's choices, understand?"

Ye Chen's tone was extremely cold and resolute, as if he were not negotiating but informing Yun Tianya.

"This…"

"Fellow Daoist, I think you should understand, the Gu Sun family eyes the Yun Family greedily; we have no choice, otherwise we wouldn't have agreed to marry Yun Yun to the Gu Sun family—it's like a lamb entering a tiger's mouth!"

Yun Tianya still didn't seem to know that the Gu Sun Family had already been wiped out by him.

"No problem."

Ye Chen said lightly.

At this moment, Yun Tianya felt a surge of anger, because the young man before him spoke and acted with extreme arrogance; if he didn't realize he couldn't defeat this youth, he would surely teach him what "respect your elders and love the young" means.

But… he couldn't win, so he had no choice but to back down.

This also precisely reflects the three great realms of the cultivation world.

Ant Realm, Fellow Daoist Realm, Senior Realm…

"But… fellow Daoist, you're neither related to Yun Yun nor a member of my Yun Family, so you have no right to interfere in our Yun Family's affairs, right?"

Yun Tianya said, his tone still carrying a hint of nervousness.

He was also quite smart, using his status to suppress Ye Chen.

But he didn't know that Ye Chen… was still Yun Yun's Protector of the Dao.

"Me? I am Yun Yun's Protector of the Dao—do you think I have the qualifications?"

After Ye Chen finished speaking, Yun Tianya drew a cold breath in his heart.

A Protector of the Dao comparable to the Yun Family Ancestor—Yun Yun actually possesses such fortune!

"But… senior, the Gu Sun Family…"

Yun Tianya had already quietly changed his way of addressing Ye Chen.

"No problem, it's already been wiped out by me."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, even though Yun Tianya had seen many great storms, he now felt his heart could barely take it.
