Chapter 79: You

After receiving the voice transmission from the paper‑person Ye Chen, Ye Chen subconsciously thought someone else was eyeing him, but he quickly dismissed the idea.

Although he didn't know who that person shrouded in misty vapor was earlier, it was obvious they had come to help him; if anyone else were scheming against his parents, that person wouldn't ignore it, but after glancing at the paper‑person Ye Chen, they left, indicating there were no enemies nearby.

"Who could that be?"

Ye Chen felt utterly puzzled.

Meanwhile, on the paper‑person Ye Chen's side, a gentle, soft gaze filled with worry occasionally fell upon the paper‑person Ye Chen.

"So my child, you're this powerful!"

She said this, laughed happily, but while laughing her eyes were also full of worry: "I only hope my child will be all right."

"Just now… was it you, my child? While they were in a stupor, I could still stay awake."

After saying that, she gently stroked her own belly.

A tiny hand inside her belly seemed to sense the mother's touch, and she stretched out her little hand, palm to palm with Lin Ruoxi's big hand.

……

At this moment, Ye Chen remained in a state of utter confusion.

"Damn it, when did the area around my place become crawling with hidden tigers and dragons?!"

Ye Chen simply couldn't figure out who it was; Bai Yuan was out of the question—he had already told Bai Yuan not to disturb his family, so it couldn't be Bai Yuan.

The members of the Four Direction Sects and the Shang Clan had already been wiped out by him, making it even less likely to be them.

He knew few cultivators, but he could be certain they weren't local practitioners; their cultivation system paled compared to the immortal cultivation system, so they couldn't be a match for the paper‑person Ye Chen, and thus it couldn't be those people.

If it were their gaze, the paper‑person Ye Chen would have locked onto their position in an instant, not be unable to find anyone as now.

Suddenly, Ye Chen thought of a possibility—the only one that could explain this situation.

"Holy shit, is my unborn sister really this heaven‑defying now?"

Ye Chen exclaimed, aside from his unborn sister, he couldn't think of anyone else who could evade the paper‑person Ye Chen's probe and remain undetected.

After all, Hunyan had once said his sister was extraordinarily heaven‑defying.

"I need to strengthen the paper‑person Ye Chen's power when I go back; I won't allow this to happen a second time."

Ye Chen said, his tone tinged with self‑reproach, feeling he had been a bit arrogant; if he had been more cautious, this wouldn't have happened—perhaps because the cultivators he faced weren't strong enough, or perhaps his mindset had quietly shifted in the same way.

He exhaled, summed up his problem: at any time, one must never let down one's guard.

By now he had pretty much surveyed this laboratory; it could only be described as utterly insane.

Human life here is worth the least; Ye Chen counted and found at least two thousand people had died here. Although he had killed even more, he had already leaned toward the demonic cultivator path, and he didn't care.

He merely marveled at these people's insanity; he kills outright, whereas these experimental‑room personnel almost always cause death in that manner.

"Even before the Great Era began, these people were already this crazy; I can't even imagine what their madness will become when the true Great Era arrives."

Ye Chen said this, walked out of the experimental building, and after stepping out he lightly snapped his fingers.

Snap—

As the snap faded, a huge explosion roar followed.

Within moments, the entire experimental building was swallowed by the explosion.

He strolled leisurely down the street, completely oblivious to the experimental building behind him.

If his guess is right, someone will soon come looking for him, after all, during the earlier seaside slaughter of demon beasts he had already attracted the attention of those people, and of the experts from beyond Xingkong.

Sure enough, not long after leaving the experimental building, several auras locked onto him; Ye Chen saw this, the corners of his mouth slowly rose, drawing a strange arc.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

There were many people on the street, but they seemed utterly indifferent, their killing intent leaking out as they locked onto Ye Chen.

Ye Chen used their killing intent to pinpoint their positions, and at the same time projected his divine sense: "Everyone, you've all come out—what are you hiding?"

As Ye Chen's divine sense went out, those few people flew in mid‑air and stepped forward.

The moment they appeared, they drew the attention of everyone on the street.

"Oh~ my God, they're super‑powered beings!"

"Flying super‑powered beings—this won't last long!"

"My great God, they must have been sent by God to save us!"

……

The people on the street gazed up at those few in the sky with adoration, all believing they had been sent by God to save them.

But the next moment, those people launched an attack straight at Ye Chen, completely disregarding anyone else's lives.

"What's going on?!"

"They shouldn't be leading us to a better world, so why are we killing us?"

"God, this must be fake!"

Even now, they still refuse to believe those people came to kill them.

But in fact, those people weren't there to kill them; they were there to kill Ye Chen—killing the others was merely incidental, they just happened to be present.

Seeing their attacks, Ye Chen felt no tension; to him, their attacks were simply too weak.

Ye Chen unfurled the Wuji Yin‑Yang Diagram; instantly, their attacks were neutralized by his Wuji Yin‑Yang Diagram.

At the same time, the Wuji Yin‑Yang Diagram flew toward those few; it contained supreme pressure, and the moment it appeared, its overwhelming force pressed them so hard they could barely move.

Moreover, the Wuji Yin‑Yang Diagram flew right in front of them; the instant their bodies touched it, they went "bang" and turned into a mist of blood. Ye Chen had thought of preserving their skins, but saw no need to.

Because stronger cultivators were already on their way.

After sensing those cultivators' auras, Ye Chen silently took out the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

"If that's the case, then let's really stir things up!"

"The vengeful spirits in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner… it's time to eat."

In an instant, tens of thousands of vengeful spirits streamed forth from Ye Chen's Ten Thousand Souls Banner, drifting above M Country, like a black cloud pressing down, vast and mighty.

As if myriad ghosts were marching at night.

Ye Chen released those yin spirits; those yin spirits kept slaughtering the people of M Country. In just a few breaths, Ye Chen's Ten Thousand Souls Banner gained another over twenty thousand souls.

Just then, a roar suddenly sounded from behind Ye Chen.

"Bold, you still have time to withdraw now; otherwise the Lord's wrath will descend, and you will be cast by the Lord into the abyss of demons!"

After hearing that voice, Ye Chen slowly turned around; his face bore a mocking smile from beginning to end.

"Lord? Then have him come and take me."

Ye Chen's arrogant attitude thoroughly annoyed this cultivator, who came at Ye Chen with a fierce killing intent; seeing this, Ye Chen did not dodge or evade.

Just as that cultivator was about to reach Ye Chen, Ye Chen slowly raised his hand and said, "Has anyone told you how pitifully weak you are?"

A flash of fear crossed that cultivator's eyes, and that expression remained forever etched on his face.
