"Brother!
I thought I would never see you again in my life … "
Ye Wen hugged Ye Chen tightly. She felt an indescribable bitterness. She raised her nose and her eyes were filled with tears.
"Alright, you're already so old, yet you're still acting like a child. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if this gets out?"
Ye Chen patted her shoulder lightly and let go of her. He looked at Xiao Ya, Tang Ning, and Yu Shasha one by one.
"Thank you for your hard work when I wasn't around!"
A hint of guilt flashed through his eyes. When he turned around, his smile gradually faded as he stared coldly at Azure Dragon and the rest.
The four of them immediately felt the pressure on them loosen, and then they regained their mobility. Even so, the four of them still did not dare to move.
Plop!
Azure Dragon knelt heavily before Ye Chen and said while trembling, "M-Mr. Ye, s-please spare my life."
"You still know me after all!"
Ye Chen was slightly surprised. There was a hint of mockery in his eyes, "I thought you didn't know me."
"Mr. Ye, it's a misunderstanding. This is all a misunderstanding!"
Azure Dragon was horrified. He kowtowed desperately and said, "I-I thought you were dead …"
"So, if I'm really dead, you guys can touch my people?"
The smile on Ye Chen's face became colder, "Do you guys know that I hate traitors the most in my life …"
"Go to hell!"
Azure Dragon gritted his teeth and growled. Then, he quickly took out a bag of poison powder at Ye Chen. Anyone who came into contact with the poison powder would turn into blood instantly.
However, to his horror, the bag of poison powder stopped moving after it was scattered into the air. He was met with Ye Chen's mocking gaze.
His body trembled and he leaped towards the window of the building without saying anything. He seemed to want to break the window and escape. The other three did the same.
On the other hand, Ye Chen lifted his palm and stretched it out gently. His slender palm seemed to have pierced through space and wrapped around the space where the four of them were.
"No!" Azure Dragon roared.
Bang, bang, bang …
The four of them exploded into a bloody mist.
"You guys deserve to die for helping the wicked!"
Ye Chen looked at the stunned Star Pavilion guard next to him again. Sword intent surged in his eyes. Subsequently, it turned into sword intent that filled the sky and slashed.
The scene was littered with dismembered corpses.
The series of actions was completed in the blink of an eye. Ye Wen and the rest were completely stunned when they snapped back to their senses.
They were the four mutant kings who were comparable to half-step Emperor Stage. Now, they were killed by Ye Chen effortlessly.
"Brother, you're too amazing!"
Ye Wen was the first to react. She looked at Ye Chen with admiration. The four mutant kings that her Star Group had spent countless resources to nurture were no different from ants to Ye Chen.
The expressions of the other three women were not much better.
Ye Chen sat down and said while smiling, "Now, tell me what you guys have experienced while I was away …"
"It's like this …" Ye Wen said slowly.
As she narrated, Ye Chen roughly understood the experiences of the people in Tiannan when he was not around.
Among them, the one who improved the fastest was the Patriarch of Hell. The patriarch had sensed it on the day the spiritual energy recovered on Earth. Then, he used the spiritual energy to break through several levels and stepped into Golden Core in one go.
When the patriarch was undergoing the Golden Core Tribulation, he ran to the capital of Japan alone and released his aura to trigger the Golden Core Tribulation.
This kind of sinister move caused countless politicians who were having a meeting in the capital of Japan to be killed by the Heavenly Tribulation. Even the tallest symbol of Japan, the Tokyo Tower, was struck down by lightning.
After that, the Japanese sent 10,000 self-defense forces, fighter jets, tanks, and nuclear bombs to deal with the patriarch. In the end, not only did the patriarch escape, but he even killed many of them.
As the world changed, all sorts of animals and plants mutated. The Patriarch of Hell was the first to notice the benefits. For example, the age of the mutated medicinal herbs increased exponentially, or the inner cores of ferocious beasts could be used to refine medicine.
Therefore, under the guidance of the Patriarch of Hell, the Star Group started operating with all its financial resources. In just three months, it became the number one consortium in China. Even the five consortiums behind it could not catch up.
Meanwhile, Yan Nanfei, Pang Yuanqing, Han Qinhu, and the rest had also stepped into the Emperor Stage under the guidance of the Patriarch of Hell.
As the three provinces of Tiannan were located in a mountainous area, there were many mountains and dense forests. After many animals mutated, it caused a beast horde to erupt, continuously attacking the human cities of Tiannan.
The Star Group decisively cooperated with the government and mobilized a large amount of financial resources and manpower to form an alliance army. Yan Nanfei and the rest led the team to kill the beast horde.
That was why Tiannan was safe now.
Ye Chen said in confusion, "Why didn't the Patriarch of Hell kill all of them when the five consortiums joined forces to attack the Star Group?"
"Brother, you don't know!"
Ye Wen explained, "After the spiritual energy recovery, many almighties suddenly appeared in the world. The patriarch said that these old farts are ancient beings who have been sleeping for a long time. Now that the spiritual energy recovery has awakened them!
"That's why many forbidden lands and secret realms have appeared. Ancient almighties have appeared in China one after another. For example, after the Yangtze River stopped flowing, the Dragon Palace was discovered at the bottom of the river, and the old dragon that could speak …
"Another example is the ancient Egyptian pyramids, the resurrection of many mummy pharaohs, and the transformation of the sphinx into a burly man!
"Someone saw divine light rising into the sky from the Vatican, and then angels with wings descended. There were also gods chanting on Mount Olympus …"
She paused for a moment and said, "The patriarch suspects that the five consortiums are backed by ancient almighties. He was worried that he would be targeted if he was too high-profile, so he did not kill them all …"
Ye Chen nodded slowly when he heard that.
This was indeed the patriarch's style. In his previous life, he was an almighty who had undergone tribulation. It was naturally not that simple for him to be able to grow to such an extent.
Thinking to this point, he could not help but say, "Before I came, I heard that the patriarch went to Mount Tai and was suppressed by an ancient almighty. Is that true?"
As soon as that was said, the four women's expressions turned grim. In the end, Xiao Ya said, "Master, the patriarch has indeed gone to Mount Tai. He hasn't returned for a month. The people we sent to gather information haven't returned either."
"Brother, do you think the patriarch will …"
Ye Wen said worriedly. It could be said that the patriarch had been supporting them when Ye Chen was not around. Therefore, they still had feelings for the patriarch.
"I don't think so!"
Ye Chen smiled lightly when he saw the women's worried gazes, "The patriarch is a smart person. Even I don't know how many tricks he has up his sleeves.
However, I do need to go to Mount Tai to see who dares to attack the patriarch! "
He scoffed coldly, and there was an endless cold gleam in his smile, "Some people think that I'm dead, so they dare to come out and cause trouble. It's time to let them know.
"I'm invincible again …"
…
