Immortal Emperor

Chapter 5: The Gulf?

Outside the Ye Family Mansion.

The air was filled with a chilling atmosphere as numerous martial artists had gathered.

Apart from the family head, Ye Feng, there was a martial artist at the Spiritual Martial Realm Second Stage, three at the First Stage, and dozens of peak martial disciples.

Today, the Ye Family was responding to the invitation, determined not to suffer humiliation.

"Dust." At this moment, Ye Chen returned.

"Father, I can handle the matters with the Liu Family and the Ouyang Family on my own," Ye Chen looked at the Ye Family warriors, secretly nodding. Despite his limited strength, he found the determination of these warriors worthy of admiration.

"As the head of the Ye Family, how could I let my child face powerful enemies alone?" Ye Feng's expression was solemn. With a wave of his hand, he led the Ye Family members toward the City Lord's Mansion.

At the City Lord's Mansion.

A red carpet was laid out, and the ceremonial platform had been erected.

On the platform stood a man and a woman.

The man, dressed in luxurious clothing, was handsome and elegant.

The woman, wearing a red gown, had fair skin, flowing hair, and delicate features, radiating a charming allure.

These two individuals were none other than the number one talents of Tianyou City, Liu Qing and Ouyang Qian.

"If the Ye Family dares to come, they will surely be annihilated here," Liu Qing's mouth curled up, revealing a sense of arrogance. At only seventeen years old, he was at the Spiritual Martial Realm Third Stage, quite remarkable in the imperial city. He believed he had the capital to be arrogant.

"I believe in you, Brother Liu Qing," Ouyang Qian smiled enchantingly. Compared to Ye Chen, Liu Qing was undoubtedly far superior. Ye Chen was like dust, not worth mentioning.

The man destined to be with her was Liu Qing.

In the main seat on the platform, Liu Wanglong of the Liu Family and Ouyang Xiong of the Ouyang Family sat, their gazes occasionally scanning the surroundings, not because they cared about the people present, but because they were anticipating something.

"If the Ye Family doesn't show up, it seems they are too afraid to come," Ouyang Xiong sneered.

"I believe the Ye Family will come," Liu Wanglong lightly sipped his tea and said, "Brother Ouyang, please don't be anxious."

Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, a regiment of orderly footsteps resonated, overwhelming the current discussions. The scene fell silent as everyone turned their attention outside. Dozens of figures approached like a gust of wind, descending upon the City Lord's Mansion.

"They're here!"

The expressions of the Liu Family and the Ouyang Family instantly became sharp.

The surrounding onlookers began whispering in low voices.

The matters between the Ye Family, the Ouyang Family, and the City Lord's Mansion were widely known, but no one expected the Ye Family to actually show up.

Moreover, they came with great momentum.

Today, it seemed like a storm was about to erupt.

"The Ye Family dares to come!" Liu Wanglong's expression turned cold, and he exuded a sharp edge.

Ouyang Xiong and others also had sharp expressions.

"Why wouldn't they dare to come?"

Ye Chen walked into the hall as if he were the center of the world, looking at the members of the Liu and Ouyang Families. He spoke in a cold tone, "The debts owed by the Liu and Ouyang Families to the Ye Family, I naturally have come to collect."

"Collect? Ye Chen, you're too naive. What are you even worth?" Ouyang Qian stood on the ceremonial platform, looking down on Ye Chen with disdain.

If it weren't for plotting the resources of the Ye Family, would she ever consider being with Ye Chen?

At the age of sixteen, still at the Intermediate Martial Disciple level, what qualifications did this waste have to hold her hand?

Now that they had torn their faces apart, Ye Chen had no more use value. How could she be polite?

Ye Chen looked at her, his eyes full of disdain, without responding.

Seeing Ye Chen's disdainful gaze, Ouyang Qian's beautiful eyes narrowed, showing her displeasure. She continued, "Ye Chen, I know you're not willing, but you're even inferior to me. What qualifications do you have to be with me?"

"Qualifications? Be with you? You really overestimate yourself." Ye Chen sneered.

Ouyang Qian had the qualifications to let him match with her?

As the mighty Eternal Immortal Emperor, in the Immortal Martial Realm, countless celestial maidens would be willing to follow him, even if it meant being slaves or maids. Ouyang Qian was really overestimating herself, thinking that he, Ye Wuji, was not worthy.

How did she gain such confidence?

Ye Chen shook his head, no longer bothering with Ouyang Qian. He truly felt sorry for the original owner of this body.

Once treated as a true love, but the other party not only looked down on him but also used him, almost causing the Ye Family's downfall.

"Is it that you think too highly of yourself? You're not even comparable to me, and yet you arrogantly come to collect debts. Truly pathetic." Ouyang Qian sneered again.

"Is Ouyang Qing strong?" Ye Chen spoke disdainfully.

ouyangqian contemptuously looked at Ye Chen and sneered, "Brother Liu Qing is only seventeen, already at the Triple Spirit Martial Realm. Even if you look at the entire imperial city, his talent is extraordinary. You and him, one is on the ground, and the other is in the sky."

"Only outstanding talents like Brother Liu Qing are worthy of my love," Ouyang Qian said, holding hands with Liu Qing, her face filled with admiration and infatuation.

Her man, Ouyang Qian believed, should be someone like Liu Qing, an outstanding talent. Ye Chen, on the other hand, was nothing but trash, completely unworthy.

Ouyang Qian's words made Liu Qing even more arrogant. He took a step forward, his disdainful gaze unreserved as he looked at Ye Chen and taunted, "Ye Chen, in cultivation, one might become trash, but in being human, one should not be worse than a beast. Although the Ouyang Family has treated you well, you dared to do something improper to Ouyang Qian, such a young girl. You don't deserve to be human."

Liu Qing's words were light, but coupled with the crying of a Ouyang family girl, it seemed to reveal Ye Chen's true nature. The onlookers around, for a moment, looked at Ye Chen with disdain, and the sound of cursing erupted.

"Nonsense."

Ye Feng angrily spoke out, rebuking, "My Ye Family has treated the Ouyang Family sincerely. We even gave away the medicinal garden, but the Ouyang Family treated us like this. Who is worse than a beast? You all know very well."

"Knowing doesn't matter. The martial world is not a place where reason prevails," Liu Qing arrogantly said, his aura beginning to unfold, and his snow-white spiritual power flowing around him, showing his astonishing strength.

"Triple Spirit Martial Realm. Liu Qing's talent is so strong!"

"No wonder he could enter the Profound Sky Academy. At only seventeen, he is second only to City Lord Liu Wanglong in the entire Tianyou City."

"His future is limitless."

The people around were moved, recognizing Liu Qing's exceptional talent. Like dazzling stars, he illuminated the entire Tianyou City.

Envy, jealousy, admiration – these were the gazes directed at Liu Qing from the surrounding crowd. Undeniably, Liu Qing was truly outstanding in Tianyou City.

Ouyang Qian liked this feeling very much. She looked at Ye Chen, her eyes full of disdain, like a princess looking down on ants who knew nothing about the world.

"Ye Chen, this is the difference between you and Brother Liu Qing, like a chasm. He is destined to soar to the sky like a dragon, while you are destined to crawl like an ant for your entire life."

"Chasm?"

Ye Chen shook his head and smiled, stepping onto the ceremonial platform, walking towards Liu Qing.

"You're right. In the martial world, reason doesn't matter. So, why bother explaining to you?" Ye Chen's voice was indifferent. He came to collect debts; there was no need for further explanation or reasoning.

"Seeking death!"

Liu Qing coldly exclaimed, clenching his fist with a surge of power. Like a mountain breaking through the air, he fiercely attacked Ye Chen.

Today, he intended to single-handedly destroy the Ye Family in Tianyou City, demonstrating his dominance.

Ye Chen was just getting started.
