Supreme Lord of Towers

Buzz!

As Ye Chen opened that exquisite wooden box, a brilliant golden glow burst forth from it, making it hard for everyone to keep their eyes open.

Immediately after, an intoxicating fragrance spread among the crowd, mesmerizing everyone present.

"Oh my god! It's the Evil Exorcism Pill, how is this possible!" Black Bo couldn't help but exclaim, his eyes wide with disbelief.

Zu'er's mouth opened wide, forming an 'o' shape.

At that moment, she even suspected she was dreaming.

The Evil Exorcism Pill, she had seen it firsthand at an auction not long ago, so she was quite familiar with it.

And the elixir in front of her, both in appearance and fragrance, was identical to the one at the auction.

So, it was most likely the Evil Exorcism Pill without a doubt.

"Ye Chen, where did you get this Evil Exorcism Pill?" At this time, Shangguan Zitong was extremely shocked, feeling like she was in a dream.

It's important to know that the Evil Exorcism Pill had been lost to endless time, even the alchemy grandmaster of their Ziwei Sacred Land couldn't refine it.

And the one that appeared at the auction had already been purchased by Venerable Changfeng.

So Shangguan Zitong once doubted that there wouldn't be a second Evil Exorcism Pill in this world.

Yet now, Ye Chen had taken out a new Evil Exorcism Pill.

This was simply beyond belief.

"I refined it myself. Once this Evil Exorcism Pill is consumed, it will remove the Black Simurgh Evil from Zu'er's body, as a repayment for her saving my foster father and mother." Ye Chen said calmly, as if he had done something insignificant.

"Zu'er, quickly thank Ye Chen," Shangguan Zitong said to Zu'er, her expression brimming with joy.

Even though she didn't believe that this Evil Exorcism Pill was refined by Ye Chen himself.

But as long as it could remove the Black Simurgh Evil from Zu'er's body, the origin of this Evil Exorcism Pill didn't matter.

"Ye Chen, you finally did something useful. Thanks, I, Zu'er, owe you one, and I'll definitely repay it in the future." Zu'er quickly snapped out of her shock and took the Evil Exorcism Pill from Ye Chen.

In her opinion, this Evil Exorcism Pill was probably given to Ye Chen by the Celestial Pill Pavilion.

After all, if the Celestial Pill Pavilion could auction an Evil Exorcism Pill, there might be a second one.

Anyway, she was very grateful to Ye Chen.

With this Evil Exorcism Pill, she wouldn't have to suffer from the Black Simurgh Evil in her body anymore.

Moreover, after removing the Black Simurgh Evil, her strength could also rise to a higher level.

It's indeed great news for her.

"No need, you saved my foster father and mother, giving you an Evil Exorcism Pill is nothing." Ye Chen said faintly, with an indifferent attitude.

Now, his strength wasn't much weaker than Zu'er's, and he had powerful backers like Venerable Zi Chen and Venerable Qingfeng.

So in the future, he wouldn't need Zu'er's help much.

"This Ye Chen, although he likes to boast, is quite loyal and righteous. Unfortunately, he cannot awaken his bloodline, and the gap between him and our lady will only grow in the future, otherwise, he would be a good match for her." Black Bo sighed inwardly.

In his view, Ye Chen was someone who knew how to be grateful and repay kindness, with a character that couldn't be too bad.

If only he could awaken his bloodline.

But alas, heaven played such a trick on him.

Even the Awakening Pill painstakingly sought for by their lady couldn't awaken the bloodline in Ye Chen's body.

He might never be able to awaken his bloodline in this lifetime.

In a world that revered bloodlines, this was a deadly disadvantage.

No matter how hard Ye Chen worked, he was doomed never to compete with those possessing heaven-defying bloodlines.

This was undoubtedly a regret.

"Ye Chen, I'm here today to tell you that I'm preparing to return to Ziwei Sacred Land," Shangguan Zitong suddenly said to Ye Chen.

Recently, the entire Southern Heaven Domain had been invaded by the Outer Realm Demon Race, and the situation had become extremely serious.

Even the disciples of Ziwei Sacred Land had to go on missions to slay demons and protect the territories of the Human Race.

After all, the Outer Realm Demon Race was the public enemy of the Human Race. If they occupied this world, no one, including the Five Great Sacred Lands, could survive unharmed.

So Shangguan Zitong had to return to Ziwei Sacred Land immediately and follow the orders of the higher-ups.

Otherwise, she could be expelled from Ziwei Sacred Land at any moment.

This was something she couldn't afford.

"You're leaving already? So soon? Then I wish you a safe journey," Ye Chen said, somewhat surprised.

Even he didn't expect Shangguan Zitong to leave so quickly.

After all, she had only been in Cang Province for two or three days.

It seemed she really had something important to handle.

So Ye Chen naturally wouldn't try to make her stay.

"Ye Chen, are you sure you don't want to come back to Ziwei Sacred Land with me? Now, with the Outer Realm Demon Race invading the Southern Heaven Domain, even Cang Province isn't very safe. If you enter Ziwei Sacred Land, you would be much safer," Shangguan Zitong said earnestly.

She really hoped Ye Chen could come back to Ziwei Sacred Land with her, so she could better protect him.

"No, I plan to stay at Azure Sky Immortal Sect," Ye Chen shook his head, decisively refusing Shangguan Zitong's offer.

Ziwei Sacred Land was the most powerful force in the Southern Heaven Domain, gathering the top talents in the region.

Yet Ye Chen couldn't even awaken his bloodline; if he went back with Shangguan Zitong to Ziwei Sacred Land, it would only cause her unnecessary trouble.

So he planned to stay at Azure Sky Immortal Sect.

"Never mind, then please take care of yourself, I'll have Zu'er stay here to assist you. Her strength is very strong and she can help you resolve many issues," Shangguan Zitong said, not forcing Ye Chen.

"Don't worry, my lady, I will definitely protect our young master," Zu'er communicated to Shangguan Zitong with confidence.

Although she had been very resistant to Ye Chen before, Ye Chen gave her the Evil Exorcism Pill, which made him a benefactor who saved her life.

So she was very willing to stay and protect Ye Chen.

After all, Ye Chen's current strength was very weak, even a cultivator in the Divine Mansion Realm could threaten his life.

But Zu'er's strength had long reached the Middle Stage of the Divine Mansion Realm, and she had awakened the Black Simurgh Bloodline.

With her presence, Ye Chen would naturally be much safer.
