Supreme Lord of Towers

The four assassins before him had all stepped into the Divine Mansion Realm; they were Xiahou Dian's most formidable subordinates.

Cruel and ruthless, they had done countless dirty deeds for Xiahou Dian.

It wasn't unusual for them to wipe out entire families.

So for them, killing Ye Chen's foster parents was just a piece of cake.

Whoosh, whoosh.

In the next moment, two of the assassins swiftly dashed toward a palace below them.

This palace was Ye Chen's residence, where his foster parents lived.

As for Ouyang Xue and Ye Hao, they resided in other palaces on Dragon Lion Peak.

"Remember, Ouyang Xue must be captured alive, as for the others, kill them all without mercy," said an assassin with a scarred face, his expression emotionless.

This assassin, named Zhou Ba, was the leader of this group of assassins.

His cultivation had reached the late stage of the Divine Mansion Realm and he was considered Xiahou Dian's right-hand man.

Even the other three assassins had to obey his orders.

"Hmph! Ouyang Xue, that bitch, hasn't even stepped into the Divine Mansion Realm; I can suppress her with a flip of my hand," the assassin next to Zhou Ba said disdainfully.

"As long as we complete this task, Steward Xiahou will surely reward us handsomely." Zhou Ba couldn't help but lick his lips, his expression extremely excited.

Whoosh!

The next moment, his figure flickered as he swiftly darted towards the palace where Ouyang Xue stayed.

"Although these few ants aren't very strong, they can easily crush Ye Chen's foster parents to death. Luckily, Jin Kun is away on business recently; otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to help Third Elder with this favor." In a palace a few miles away from Dragon Elephant Peak, Gongyang Tai was observing all this with cold eyes, his tone extremely indifferent.

Originally, Venerable Zi Chen had sent him and Ninth Elder Jin Kun to guard Dragon Lion Peak.

But since Jin Kun recently had urgent business and went out, Gongyang Tai had to guard the place alone.

If Jin Kun hadn't left, those assassins sent by Xiahou Dian wouldn't have had any chance to approach Dragon Lion Peak.

"Hmph! Ye Chen, blame your lack of judgment for offending the Third Elder. You could say it's your fault your foster parents are dying, not anyone else's," Gongyang Tai said coldly, his mouth curved with schadenfreude.

In his view, Ye Chen's foster parents this time had no chance of surviving.

With the strength of those assassins, killing them was as easy as crushing a couple of ants.

And he would not intervene to save Ye Chen's foster parents.

Because it was all brought upon by Ye Chen himself, and it had nothing to do with him.

"Haha, madam, Chen'er has completed the demon-slashing task and is on his way back to the Azure Sky Immortal Sect." In an antique room, Ye Ming held a Communication Crystal Stone, his expression extremely joyful.

Since Ye Chen went on the demon-slaying task in the Celestial Cry Mountain Range, he had been worried about Ye Chen's safety.

After all, the mountain range was full of dangers, with Great Demons of the Profound Pill Realm appearing at times.

Considering Ye Chen's strength, meeting them could have dire consequences.

But now, Ye Ming could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Because Ye Chen had just used the Communication Crystal Stone to assure him he was safe.

"That's good, very good. I just knew Chen'er would be fine," said Xiao Hui beside Ye Ming, her face full of relief.

With a loud bang.

At that moment, an extremely violent surge of mana suddenly flowed in from outside, instantly blowing the room's door to shreds.

Whoosh, whoosh.

Next, two assassins clad in black battle robes appeared in front of Ye Ming and Xiao Hui, exuding a terrifying killing intent from head to toe.

"Oh no, it's Immortal powerhouses of the Divine Mansion Realm. How did they get in here?" Ye Ming's face changed dramatically, quickly shielding Xiao Hui.

He couldn't understand how these two assassins had infiltrated Dragon Lion Peak.

He knew full well there were Overlord Body Peak powerhouses secretly guarding Dragon Lion Peak.

Even Divine Mansion Realm cultivators, let alone Profound Pill Realm real people, would find approaching here no easy task.

"Who are you? What are you here for?" Xiao Hui's face turned extremely ugly, her body trembling slightly.

At that moment, she felt a strong sense of deadly threat from the two assassins.

If they wanted to kill them, it would be a piece of cake.

"Ha! Even now, you're still asking such foolish questions. We're obviously here to kill you two dogs." One of the assassins couldn't help but sneer, his mouth full of thick mockery.

"This bitch should be Ye Chen's foster mother. She's quite good looking; killing her now would be too easy. Why not let me have some fun first?" the other assassin said with a sinister grin, his eyes scouring Xiao Hui's body.

Xiao Hui, despite being in her fifties, still retained her charm.

And this assassin was notoriously lecherous; seeing Xiao Hui naturally aroused his interest.

"You're courting death." Anger erupted in Ye Ming's eyes, his fists clenched tightly, producing a piercing crackling sound.

At this moment, he was truly enraged, also loathing his own inability, being unable to protect even his wife.

"I'd rather die than let you succeed," Xiao Hui's eyes were full of resolve, prepared to go down fighting with them.

"With you two ants, what do you have to resist us! Now, let me first send you, this dog, on your way. Blame your foster son Ye Chen for offending the wrong people; go repent in hell." One of the assassins said coldly, swinging his battle saber fiercely towards Ye Ming.

"No, husband." Xiao Hui cried out in despair.

The strength of that assassin was just too overwhelming; even if Ye Ming were ten times stronger, he could not withstand the attack.

The man she loved most was about to die in front of her, and how could she bear it?

"Don't worry, once I'm done with you, I'll send you down to join him." The other assassin sneered, his figure lunging towards Xiao Hui.

In his eyes, Ye Ming was already a dead man.

And Xiao Hui was no different from a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, to be sent on her way after he was finished.

This was the price to pay for offending their master Xiahou Dian.
