Intolerable!
After returning from the Outside, Ye Zichen led his twenty-some subordinates through the east gate to Skyspan City.
The ordinary cultivators in the city could sense their ferocious aura.
Anyone who met them would subconsciously make way for them in the middle of the street, consciously retreating to the two sides of the street, watching the mighty group of dozens of people leave.
"Boss, this is the place."
Wei Jie, who'd been leading the way this entire time, pointed at an average-sized residence.
It wasn't very large, but in a place like this, where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, Wei Jie had to expend a lot of effort and money. Of course, it couldn't compare to Upheaval's headquarters in the Lower Lands, but it was enough to support Upheaval's early development.
When he heard that, Ye Zichen stopped and turned to Yang Jian.
"In a bit, watch my eyes."
The others nodded. Ye Zichen took a deep breath, then entered the residence.
Since Upheaval had only just begun establishing itself on the Divine Mountains, aside from the ascenders, there were few newcomers. The only people that could be seen in the courtyard were the maids Wei Jie had found or the ordinary guards at the Earth Supreme Realm.
When the maids and guards saw Wei Jie, they all bowed respectfully.
"Are the guests still in the hall?" Wei Jie casually called out to one of the maids. She immediately stopped what she was doing and said softly, "Yes, they are."
Ye Zichen waved her away, then exchanged a glance with Wei Jie.
The Xiao Family was in the front hall.
To tell the truth, Ye Zichen felt somewhat uneasy. No matter what, the Xiao Family was a colossal power on the Divine Mountains. Even if he'd always viewed them as nothing more than a stepping stone, that was only after Upheaval had taken shape.
The Xiao Family's sudden appearance threw a wrench in Ye Zichen's plans.
He had to bump into them!
"Wait for me outside and wait for my signal."
Ye Zichen craned his neck and walked into the front hall. As soon as he entered, he saw that there were at least two hundred people standing there. These people treated this place as their own home. Those who could sit on the chairs should be people with some power in the Xiao Family, and those standing on the sides should be ordinary members of the Xiao Family.
Sitting on the chair in the middle of the room was a very old man. His face was covered with wrinkles, and he held a cup of hot tea in his hand.
The moment Ye Zichen and co. entered, they instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the room. The elder also conveniently placed the tea on the table and examined Ye Zichen seriously for a long time, as if he was thinking about something, and reminiscing at the same time.
After a long time, his expression inexplicably changed.
"You are …" the old man said.
"That's interesting. You're the ones who came here to find me. I'm already here, but you don't recognize me? "Ye Zichen laughed.
"You're Ye Zichen?"
"Absolutely," Ye Zichen nodded. "I wonder who you are, and why you brought so many people here."
"This is our Xiao Family's Lightning Emperor, Xiao Ting! Why aren't you bowing when you see the Celestial Emperor? "Two youths on both sides of the front hall suddenly spoke up.
Ye Zichen's expression didn't change in the slightest.
He looked at the old man sitting on the chair with a faint smile. His gaze was emotionless, but his heart was in turmoil.
It was him.
It was this old man in front of him who had prevented him from entering the God World.
During his tribulation, he had unleashed ninety-nine bolts of lightning, which had almost killed Keke and reduced Su Yiyun to ashes.
They finally met.
Ye Zichen's heart pounded violently, but when it came to his performance …..
"You're the one in charge of the Lightning Punishment. All these years, I've been thinking about you."
"It's the same for me," said Xiao Ting. "I didn't think you'd still make it up here, even after all that effort."
"Tell me, what are you here for? Could it be that the Emperor wants to make up for his mistake of letting me ascend the Divine Mountains, and wants to punish me here? "Ye Zichen smiled calmly.
"That's what I was thinking," said Xiao Ting. "But that's not why I'm here."
"Oh?"
"I heard my good-for-nothing son ran over to you. Hand him over, and I'll just take him and leave."
"Your Majesty, you must be joking," laughed Ye Zichen. "Why would your son run over to me? He's your son! You don't need to make excuses like this, do you? "
"You don't want to hand him over?"
"If I don't, how could I? You're making things difficult for me, aren't you? "Ye Zichen laughed amiably.
Xiao Ting's expression flickered, and he gradually released his lightning aura. His oppressive gaze pierced Ye Zichen's eyes, and a sinister smile flashed across his face.
"It seems that allowing you to ascend to the Divine Mountains was a dereliction of duty on our part. Since you're unwilling to hand over my good-for-nothing son, I can't return empty-handed. You …. Come with us," said Xiao Chen.
Whoosh.
The Xiao Family's two sides instantly surrounded him, their eyes glinting menacingly.
Ye Zichen's expression didn't change in the slightest. He stood calmly in the middle, taking in their ferocity. Then he turned to Xiao Ting and smiled.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"
"Please come to my Lightning Emperor's Estate and stay for a few days," said Xiao Ting.
"But I don't know you that well," laughed Ye Zichen.
"It's fine. You'll slowly get to know me after a few days. My Lightning Emperor's Estate is very hospitable. Besides, I've lived here for a long time already. Courtesy demands reciprocity, so I'd like to invite you to stay for a few days. "
"It seems I can't refuse," said Ye Zichen.
Ye Zichen shrugged helplessly, but he was still all smiles.
Seated in his chair, Xiao Ting's eyes flashed with admiration, and he laughed.
"No wonder the Xiao Family was so badly battered as soon as you arrived in the God Realm. You've killed quite a few Xiao clansmen, haven't you?"
"It's their own fault for wanting to ride all over me. How could I tolerate that?"
"Of course not." Xiao Ting laughed inexplicably, then glanced meaningfully at the others. "Now that I'm riding all over you, you …."
"Of course I can't tolerate it," laughed Ye Zichen.
"Is that so?"
"How about I show you?" said Ye Zichen.
Xiao Ting said nothing. Instead, he gestured casually. Ye Zichen didn't hesitate. He clapped his hands.
"All of you, come in."
Instantly, Yang Jian and the other twenty-plus rulers appeared. They'd been waiting outside for a long time. The sudden appearance of these dozens of Sovereign Realm auras caused the people in the front hall to reveal looks of terror.
The people surrounding Ye Zichen instinctively retreated. Yang Jian and Pu Jingwan took advantage of the situation to stand by his side.
At the same time, Ye Zichen shrugged and smiled calmly.
