As soon as she finished speaking, the temperature in the room suddenly dropped, as if it had dropped by dozens of degrees.
Under everyone's gaze, Hu Fei slowly raised his head and said with a determined gaze, "Master, please forgive Hu Fei for not being able to do it!"
The moment that was said, there was an uproar.
"Hu Fei, are you crazy?"
An elder stood up and reprimanded sternly, "How dare you disobey the master's orders for an outsider?"
"That's right, Hu Fei. What kind of bewitching potion did that brat feed you to make you say such words to the master?"
"Silly boy, tell us, were you threatened by that brat?"
"…"
In an instant, countless people pointed at Hu Fei, and all of them had expressions of exasperation that he had failed to live up to their expectations.
The smile on Hu Lei's face grew brighter.
In the entire Hu family, no one had ever dared to disobey the master's orders. Hu Fei was the first!
Slap!
Hu Baimei's expression flickered a few times. She waved her sleeve and sent Hu Fei flying, "You're hopeless!"
…
In the room where Ye Chen was, the silence was broken by a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes.
As the door was pushed open, Hu Baimei walked in slowly and went straight to the point, "Little brother, can you return the power of my clan's junior, Hu Fei's, to me?"
Xiao Hei's expression turned grim.
Ye Chen stopped him and lifted his head slowly to look at her, "Did Hu Fei ask you to come?"
"No!"
Hu Baimei glanced at him and shook her head, "I acted on my own. Don't be nervous, I won't attack you guys!"
Xiao Hei pursed his lips in disdain.
'You're just a mere sixth-revolution Martial Saint, and you want to attack me and master? 'What shameless boasting!'
Hu Baimei paused for a moment and said, "Little friend, you might not know this, but Hu Fei is the posthumous son of my clan brother. I've treated him like my own since he was young, and I have high hopes for him!
"Although I don't know why he's willing to hand over the power of his soul to you, I hope that you'll return the power of his soul for the sake of my Hu family."
At this point, she could not help but state her conditions, "As a condition, my Hu clan is willing to compensate you with cultivation methods and elixirs, and even send a Martial King Realm Elder to guide you in your cultivation …"
Even though her tone was very polite, anyone could sense a trace of arrogance and irrefutable intent.
To her, Ye Chen was young. Even if he had a sliver of cultivation base, it would not be high. He would definitely not be able to reject her offer.
"Go back!"
Ye Chen shook his head and smiled, "This is between me and Hu Fei. If Hu Fei really wants his Divine Soul power back, ask him to look for me personally!"
"You …"
Seeing him repeatedly reject her, Hu Baimei's expression gradually sank: "Little brother, don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit."
"Please leave …" Ye Chen turned around slowly.
Hu Baimei's expression changed a few times. Eventually, she suppressed the urge to attack Ye Chen and left with a flick of her sleeve.
After watching her leave, Xiao Hei immediately smiled and said, "Master, although this woman is arrogant, her temperament is not bad …"
If Hu Baimei attacked the two of them earlier, she would probably be killed on the spot. Ye Chen would not even need to do anything.
Ye Chen glanced out of the window and said, "How long until we get to Chi Zhou?"
"There's still about an hour left!"
Xiao Hei explained, "Once we arrive at Chi Zhou, we will be in the territory of the Jade Lake Holy Land. I believe we will be able to find out more about young master's whereabouts."
Ye Chen nodded lightly and closed his eyes again.
At the same time, in the Hu clan's master's room, Hu Lei looked at Hu Baimei who had her back facing him and secretly sneered, "Master, that brat didn't agree?"
Hu Baimei scoffed coldly and turned around, "If it weren't for that unfilial son, I would have attacked him earlier!"
"Master, in my opinion, that brat might be a hidden powerhouse?"
A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Hu Lei's lips, "After all, judging from Hu Fei's expression, he doesn't look like he's pretending!"
"Powerhouse?!"
Hu Baimei smirked coldly, "I've already tested him earlier. This person doesn't have any cultivation aura at all. Either he cultivates an aura concealing technique, or his cultivation base is higher than mine …"
She was over a thousand years old this year, and she had only just cultivated to the sixth revolution Martial Saint level. Meanwhile, Ye Chen was younger than her. How could his cultivation base be higher than hers?
In that case, it could only be the former.
At this point, her eyes flickered, "Before we reach the Jade Lake Holy Land, if this person doesn't hand over Hu Fei's soul power, don't blame me for being rude!"
…
An hour later, the flying boat successfully arrived at Chi Zhou, and the scenery in front of everyone changed.
If Dusk Province was a place with four distinct seasons, then Chi Zhou seemed to be in spring all year round.
As far as the eye could see, the mountain flowers were gorgeous, and it was a sea of flowers. Everything was filled with the feeling of spring and painting.
Chi Zhou was boundless, and the Jade Lake Holy Land was in charge of everything here. Most of the people in the Jade Lake Holy Land were women, so they naturally loved flowers and plants.
However, Dusk Province was insignificant before Chi Zhou. Not to mention the fact that Chi Zhou was guarded by a colossus like the Jade Lake Holy Land, there were more than ten Emperor's Throne descendants in Chi Zhou alone.
The flying boat finally landed outside a large city in Chi Zhou — Li Mountain City. Along the way, the Hu family deliberately ignored Ye Chen and Xiao Hei.
Ye Chen did not care about that. After leaving the Hu family's resting place with Xiao Hei and Hu Fei, they wandered around Li Mountain City.
The Jade Lake Grand Meeting would only be held three days later. Before that, the passage to the Jade Lake Holy Land was not open. Invited forces like the Hu family had to rest in Chi Zhou for a few days.
On the noisy streets.
Hu Fei said in fear and guilt, "My lord, I want to apologize for my Hu family's attitude toward you!"
He knew how terrifying Ye Chen was. He was extremely worried. If the Hu family angered him, one could imagine what would happen to them.
"Don't worry about it!"
Ye Chen smiled nonchalantly. When he scanned the streets with his Divine Consciousness, an undetectable glint flashed in his eyes.
The majority of the passersby on this seemingly ordinary street had rather strong cultivations. There were even a few Martial Kings amongst them.
However, he felt relieved after thinking about it.
The Jade Lake Grand Meeting was about to be held. These people must have come from the northern region to watch the ceremony.
"Well said, well said!"
When the three of them passed by a restaurant, they heard thunderous cheers coming from inside.
"Eh …"
Ye Chen scanned with his Divine Consciousness in a hurry. Surprise flashed across his initially nonchalant face. Then, he walked into the restaurant.
In the middle of the first floor of the restaurant, there was an old man with a brandy nose who was dressed in ragged clothes. He was surrounded by people. At that moment, he was talking with confidence and composure.
"Speaking of which, Ye Wushuang killed his way into the northern region with his sword. In one night, he destroyed four forces and killed countless old martial saints. In the end, he forced …"
