Meanwhile, in the Jade Lake Sacred Land's Jade God Valley, everyone was silent after Ye Chen killed the Jade Lake Sacred Leader with two slashes. Everyone looked up to him.
Ye Chen was carrying his sleeping daughter. He heaved a sigh of relief after sensing that she was fine. His gaze then landed on the tens of thousands of people below.
As he swept his gaze across, be it the powerhouses of the Haotian Sword Sect or the old monsters of the Dongfang family, they all lowered their heads and knelt on one knee. Their voices shook the sky.
"Greetings, Emperor Ye!"
"Greetings, Emperor Ye!"
Even the remaining powerhouses of the Jade Lake Sacred Land could not help but lower their heads. They led all the disciples to bow to Ye Chen!
"Brother Ye, I can't compare to you!"
Shi Qianhan, who was in the crowd, sighed from the bottom of his heart. Then, he bowed and cupped his fists, "Greetings, Emperor Ye!"
"Greetings, Emperor Ye!"
The Great Xia Dynasty's imperial daughter, Hua Qianren, bowed.
"Rumble!"
The originally deathly silent valley instantly erupted with thunderous cheers that shook the sky!
Ye Chen's gaze stopped on the Jade Lake Sacred Leader. A faint killing intent flashed through his eyes. His daughter was trapped in the Jade Lake Sacred Land. If he had not arrived in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
As if sensing his killing intent, the people of the Jade Lake Sacred Land immediately prostrated themselves on the ground. Their faces were filled with fear, and they were in danger.
Lin Lan, who was below, braced herself and stood up. She knelt heavily before him and begged, "Ye Chen, please don't kill them!"
"Give me a reason not to kill them?"
Ye Chen looked down at her from above. His eyes were so cold that there was no emotion in them.
Lin Lan's heart sank, and she could not help but smile bitterly, "You killed almost all of the upper echelons of the Jade Lake Sacred Land. Most of the remaining disciples didn't do anything to you!
"Have you heard of the saying that if you don't remove the roots, the grass will grow again? “
A mocking smirk appeared at the corner of Ye Chen's lips. He looked at everyone coldly, "Can you guarantee that no one among the tens of thousands of people below will harbor hatred and try to take revenge on me in the future?"
The people who were swept by his gaze trembled, and their souls almost left their bodies.
Lin Lan was speechless.
Indeed, she could not guarantee it!
In reality, even she did not know if she hated Ye Chen. After all, Ye Chen had destroyed her sect.
"Imperial Lord Ye!"
At this moment, a figure flashed over from afar.
It was the Peak Master of Violet Lotus Peak. At this moment, she was carrying a woman wrapped in white cloth in her arms. Blood faintly seeped through the white cloth.
Ye Chen glanced over and seemed to have recognized something. A hint of pity eventually flashed through the depths of his cold eyes.
"Brother Ye, Miss Mu is dead …"
Shi Qianhan's lips moved slightly as he whispered, "Before she died, she asked me to tell you that she has let you down."
Ye Chen remained silent.
The Violet Lotus Peak Master approached from afar and knelt heavily on the ground, as if he had aged dozens of years. "Sovereign Lord Ye, the disciples of the Jade Pool are all innocent. Please show mercy."
At this point, she couldn't help but shed tears. "We're willing to cripple our own cultivation and disband the Jade Lake Sacred Ground!"
Hearing this, everyone's expression changed, especially the remaining experts of the Jade Lake Holy Land.
After saying that, she gently put down Mu Caiwei, who was in her arms, and then resolutely pierced her own Dantian in front of everyone. A thousand years of bitter cultivation was lost in an instant.
"Master …" Lin Lan burst into tears.
No one spoke. There was only numbness.
This was the outcome of being a loser. If Ye Chen was the one who failed, it would not be as simple as sacrificing his own cultivation base!
Ye Chen swept his gaze across the remaining five Martial Saint Elders of the Jade Lake Sacred Ground. The five of them were initially hesitant. However, after meeting Ye Chen's cold gaze, they did not dare to resist and obediently pierced their own Dantian.
If they did not sacrifice their own cultivation base, they would die now!
There was no doubt about that!
The Violet Lotus Peak Master, who had crippled her own cultivation base, instantly aged dozens of years. She looked like a haggard old woman as she stood up and silently looked at the tens of thousands of Jade Lake disciples below.
"I hereby announce that the Jade Lake Sacred Ground is officially disbanded!"
With Lin Lan's support, she trembled and said, "Don't be angry, and don't hate. This incident was caused by the Jade Lake Sacred Ground's own destruction …"
The tens of thousands of Jade Lake Sacred Ground disciples looked at each other speechlessly.
If the Jade Lake Sacred Ground had not imprisoned Ye Chen's daughter, if they had not stopped Ye Chen from meeting her, if the Jade Lake Sacred Master had not plotted against Ye Chen's daughter, how could this have happened?
"Go home …"
After the Violet Lotus Peak Master finished her last sentence, she could no longer stand steadily. She was on her last breath.
The tens of thousands of Jade Lake disciples looked at Ye Chen by instinct. After seeing that the latter did not react, a few bold ones led the way and left in fear.
Ye Chen acted as if he did not see it. Only then did the remaining people have the courage to push and leave the valley. Along the way, someone tried to empty the Jade Lake Sacred Ground, but he was killed on the spot by Xiao Hei, who had followed him all the way.
As for the tens of thousands of outsiders who came to watch, they did not dare to breathe loudly as they watched this scene silently. They could only sigh endlessly.
Even a towering tree could not escape the fate of collapsing. When a tree falls, the monkeys scatter. That was the cruel truth of the cultivation world.
"Thank you, Emperor Ye!"
The Violet Lotus Peak Master, who was on her last breath, looked at Ye Chen gratefully. She then held Lin Lan's hand and said, "Lan 'er, promise me that you'll send your Senior Sister Mu's body back to the Tianfeng sea area and bury it beside her mother's grave …"
With that, she passed away.
"Master …"
Lin Lan cried and lifted her head to look at Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, Junior Sister Mu has never forgotten you …"
"Is there any point in saying this now?"
Ye Chen had a complicated expression.
"No!"
Lin Lan shook her head and said, "She once said that you died to save her, and she wanted to avenge you, so she joined my Jade-Lake Sacred Ground. For you, she chose to cultivate the Supreme Emotion Forgetting Art that destroys all emotions …"
"Senior Sister Mu said that the moment she knew you died, her heart was already dead. “
At this point, her face was extremely bitter, "She didn't tell me your name back then, so I didn't recognize you when I first came into contact with you …"
"You may leave!"
Ye Chen shook his head lightly and lifted his head to look at the tens of thousands of people below, "Do you guys still want to stay for tea?"
"We wouldn't dare!"
The expressions of the tens of thousands of people changed. They turned around and left in an orderly manner, afraid that Ye Chen would vent his anger on them.
In an instant, the vast valley was completely cleared out, leaving only a few people behind.
Ye Chen carried his daughter and watched Lin Lan leave with Mu Caiwei's body quietly. He sighed softly in his heart.
He did not hate Mu Caiwei for betraying him. At most, he was disappointed. After all, what was this compared to the greatest betrayal that Ye Chen had ever experienced?
What really angered him was that Mu Caiwei should not have used her daughter to exchange for a bargaining chip to make him stronger.
Perhaps Mu Caiwei had done everything for him, but it had touched Ye Chen's bottom line. Mengmeng was Ye Chen's bottom line.
At that moment, Xiao Hei suddenly stopped an old voice. He grinned, revealing his white teeth, "Old thing, are you going in?"
