Supreme Lord of Towers

"What? The senior members of the Celestial Pill Pavilion actually want to protect Ye Chen, that waste. Aren't they afraid of offending that super-powerful figure?" In the Celestial Treasure Palace, all the cultivators couldn't help but exclaim, their eyes filled with deep disbelief.

In their view, Ye Chen couldn't even awaken his bloodline, and in this lifetime, he would never achieve much.

If the senior members of the Celestial Pill Pavilion offend such a super-powerful figure over this waste, it would be truly unwise.

"Hmph! Alliance Leader, the senior members of the Celestial Pill Pavilion are too foolish, wanting to shield that insignificant Ye Chen. It seems it's necessary for us to intervene and have the Celestial Pill Pavilion hand over Ye Chen. Otherwise, it won't be good if that super-powerful figure gets angry." In a highly luxurious room deep within the Celestial Treasure Palace, Venerable Black Dust said coldly.

The Divine Cauldron Alliance is only collaborating with the Celestial Pill Pavilion to host the auction, so they naturally don't want to be dragged into this.

If that super-powerful figure really got offended over Ye Chen's issue, they would be truly wronged.

"Yes, we indeed need to clarify our relationship with Ye Chen. Just an insignificant ant, daring to offend that super-powerful figure, it's not worth sparing." The Alliance Leader of the Divine Cauldron Alliance said, his gaze extremely indifferent, his lips laced with ridicule.

Buzz!

The next moment, a dazzling light radiated from the teleportation array beneath them, enveloping them in its glow.

When they appeared again, they stood above the auction platform.

"Heavens! It's the Alliance Leader of the Divine Cauldron Alliance, and Venerable Black Dust as well. Even they were alarmed."

"It seems that Ye Chen, that waste, is doomed today." The cultivators below couldn't help but exclaim, their eyes fixed on the Alliance Leader of the Divine Cauldron Alliance, full of intense apprehension.

One must know that the Alliance Leader of the Divine Cauldron Alliance rarely appears before the public.

But now, he has shown up personally.

This alone shows how serious the situation is!

"Father, why are you here as well?" Fairy Lan Ling couldn't help but be pleased upon seeing the Alliance Leader of the Divine Cauldron Alliance.

"Naturally, I came because of that insolent Ye Chen. Steward Li, you mentioned someone in the Celestial Pill Pavilion wants to protect Ye Chen. Who is bold enough to do that?" The Alliance Leader of the Divine Cauldron Alliance asked with a tone full of authority, like a king appearing, bringing an overwhelming sense of oppression.

"Alliance Leader, I suspect it's Venerable Yuanming who is protecting Ye Chen," Li Yuan sneered.

In fact, when Venerable Yuanming had told him to get lost earlier, he already suspected that Yuanming was intentionally shielding Ye Chen.

However, Venerable Yuanming is after all the Grand Elder of the Celestial Pill Pavilion branch, so Li Yuan could only keep his anger to himself.

But now, with the backing of the Alliance Leader of the Divine Cauldron Alliance, he had nothing to fear.

"Hmph! Venerable Yuanming, you'd better come out and clarify everything. You know full well that Ye Chen, that ant, offended that super-powerful figure. Why are you still protecting him?" The Alliance Leader of the Divine Cauldron Alliance couldn't help but laugh derisively, his voice booming like thunder, echoing throughout the Celestial Treasure Palace.

"What? The one protecting Ye Chen is actually Venerable Yuanming, the Grand Elder of the Celestial Pill Pavilion? How is that possible?"

"Venerable Yuanming is a highly esteemed Alchemy Master. How did Ye Chen, that waste, manage to associate with such a great figure like Venerable Yuanming?" All the cultivators trembled, their eyes widening in disbelief.

Although Ye Chen possesses a ninefold Qi Sea Foundation, breaking the record in Cang Province's history,

He still couldn't awaken his bloodline, destined to achieve little in this lifetime.

So, the crowd couldn't comprehend why Venerable Yuanming would stand up for someone like Ye Chen.

What did he see in Ye Chen?

"Ha ha, Venerable Lan Lie, things aren't as you imagine." At this moment, an old man's voice suddenly resonated from a golden VIP room.

Whoosh!

Soon after, everyone saw an elderly man with white hair emerge from the golden VIP room.

It was Venerable Yuanming.

At this moment, a mocking smile played at the corner of his lips, his gaze at the Alliance Leader of the Divine Cauldron Alliance as if he was watching a jumping clown.

"Hmph! Venerable Yuanming, what do you mean by this? I advise you to hand over Ye Chen obediently; today, this ant must be punished as a consequence of disrespecting that super-powerful figure. Or do you not take that super-powerful figure seriously?" Above the auction platform, Venerable Black Dust sneered coldly, his eyes involuntarily drifting upwards towards the Purple Gold VIP room, as if intentionally speaking for that super-powerful figure to hear.

"Ah! Venerable Black Dust, you are truly skilled at making assumptions, yet you do not realize how foolish your actions truly are," Venerable Yuanming couldn't help but laugh contemptuously, his mouth full of playful intrigue, an air of confidence about him.

"Venerable Yuanming, have you gone mad? Are you really going to offend that super-powerful figure for Ye Chen, that ant? You're digging your own grave." Venerable Black Dust's face darkened to an extreme degree as he roared at Venerable Yuanming.

He truly couldn't fathom who gave Venerable Yuanming the courage to do such a thing.

Indeed!

Venerable Yuanming is an Alchemy Master,

But that super-powerful figure could casually throw around seventy-five trillion ordinary Spirit Stones, far beyond what Venerable Yuanming could afford to offend.

If that super-powerful figure were to be truly provoked, even Venerable Yuanming wouldn't be able to escape the consequences.

And a single misstep could lead the strong ones from the Celestial Pill Pavilion headquarters to expel Venerable Yuanming from the organization.

By then, regret would come too late.

"Enough." At that moment, a deep and powerful voice suddenly reverberated from the Purple Gold VIP room, shaking everyone's eardrums.

The one speaking was none other than Ye Chen.

"Oh my god! It's that super-powerful figure; finally, he is going to make a statement."

"It's over, Venerable Yuanming has really hit a wall this time. Though he is the Grand Elder of the Celestial Pill Pavilion branch, how can he possibly offend that super-powerful figure?"

"Alas! To offend that super-powerful figure for Ye Chen, that waste is really not worth it. I really don't know what Venerable Yuanming is thinking." The surrounding cultivators collectively drew in a sharp breath, pondering in the shadows.

"Heh heh, hahaha, Venerable Yuanming, you old fool, even daring to protect Ye Chen, that waste. I'm curious to see how you're going to end this today." Li Yuan laughed inwardly, watching eagerly for the unfolding drama.
