Supreme Lord of Towers

"I'm sorry, madam, I am unable to protect you." Ye Ming's eyes turned blood-red, filled with deep despair and guilt.

He had desperately pushed his internal strength to the extreme, but in the face of the attack from the assassin, he was still as vulnerable as a paper tiger.

In the blink of an eye, the blade light from the assassin's strike appeared before him, threatening to cut him in half.

"Husband, let's be a couple in our next life." Xiao Hui's delicate figure suddenly blocked in front of Ye Ming, giving him a gentle smile.

As long as she could die alongside Ye Ming, she had no regrets.

"Ignorant of the favors, then die for me." The assassin's features twisted together in ferocity, his expression menacing.

He originally wanted to torment Xiao Hui and then kill her.

But he didn't expect Xiao Hui to be so resolute, choosing death over submission.

This made him extremely furious.

"Hmph! As long as I'm here, no one can harm them." At this critical moment, a cold voice suddenly echoed around them, filled with a chilling killing intent.

Boom!

Immediately, a mana that sent shivers through the soul enveloped the entire room.

Crack, crack.

The blade aimed at Ye Ming and Xiao Hui crumbled the instant it touched this mana, disappearing without a trace.

Even the two assassins were frozen in place by this mana, unable to move an inch.

"Profound Pill master, it's a Profound Pill master."

"No, it's impossible, how can Dragon Lion Peak have a Profound Pill master stationed here." The two assassins trembled all over, their eyes wide with shock and disbelief.

One must know, although their cultivation wasn't as strong as Zhou Ba, they had stepped into the Sixth Layer of the Divine Mansion Realm.

Even experts in the later stages of the Divine Mansion Realm would find it difficult to bind them with mana.

Yet now, this mysterious person who suddenly appeared suppressed them with ease using only mana.

Their cultivation must have reached the Profound Pill Realm.

Swish.

As the two assassins were in shock, an elder wearing a Bronze Mask walked in from outside the room, appearing in front of Ye Ming and Xiao Hui.

This elder was none other than Hei Bo.

"Thank you, Hei Bo, you've saved us once again," Ye Ming said, deeply grateful.

If Hei Bo hadn't arrived in time, he and Xiao Hui would certainly have died under the assassin's blade.

And this wasn't the first time Hei Bo had saved their lives.

They didn't know how to repay such a debt of gratitude.

"No need to thank me, I promised Ye Chen to protect you, and I won't let anyone harm you unless I'm dead," Hei Bo said calmly.

"Who, who are you really? Why meddle in our affairs?" The two assassins stared at Hei Bo, their voices trembling.

"Who I am is beyond your qualification to know. Tell me, who sent you?" Hei Bo said coldly.

"Old man, we won't tell you," one assassin replied defiantly.

"Not good, Ouyang Xue and Ye Hao might also be under attack, Hei Bo, you must save them," Ye Ming suddenly exclaimed, his face paling.

Ouyang Xue and Ye Hao were residing at Dragon Lion Peak.

If Divine Mansion Realm experts attacked them, the consequences could be dire.

"Die," Hei Bo's eyes flashed with terrifying cold light as he unleashed mana towards the two assassins.

Ah!

The next moment, a blood-curdling scream erupted from the two assassins, sounding utterly terrifying.

With one strike, their bodies were crushed into a mist of blood, irrevocably dead.

"Quickly hide in the secret room and don't come out. I'll be back soon." Hei Bo's figure flickered, leaving an afterimage as he sped towards the exits of the palace.

Although Ouyang Xue and Ye Hao weren't Ye Chen's relatives, they were good friends.

If anything happened to them, Hei Bo wouldn't know how to explain it to Ye Chen.

So, he had to protect their safety with all his might.

"Damn it, Dragon Lion Peak always had a Profound Pill master guarding it, so how could these ants infiltrate? Is there a traitor within Overlord Body Peak?" Hei Bo thought angrily while heading towards Ouyang Xue's residence.

Since Dragon Lion Peak always had Overlord Body Peak experts secretly protecting it,

even Hei Bo didn't expect anyone to infiltrate.

If he had known, he wouldn't have let Ouyang Xue and Ye Hao live in other palaces, but rather moved them here.

But now, it was too late for regret.

He could only pray that Ouyang Xue and Ye Hao were still alive.

Otherwise, he really wouldn't know how to face Ye Chen.

...

Within a tastefully decorated palace at Dragon Lion Peak, Ouyang Xue was sitting cross-legged on a cushion, cultivating.

"Eh? Someone's coming." Suddenly, Ouyang Xue opened her eyes, her expression becoming grave.

She could sense two extremely powerful auras approaching her residence.

Moreover, they moved as swiftly as lightning, arriving outside her palace in an instant.

"Who dares to infiltrate Dragon Lion Peak? I must leave quickly." Ouyang Xue furrowed her brow, her form flickering as she dashed towards another exit of the palace.

At this moment, a foreboding feeling arose in her heart.

Normally, no one would dare intrude on Dragon Lion Peak.

These two people clearly meant harm.

Swish.

Moments later, Ouyang Xue shot out from another exit of the palace, speeding towards Ye Chen's residence.

She knew Hei Bo resided at Ye Chen's place, and with him there, he should be able to fend off the mysterious assailants.

"Ha! Bitch, you run fast! But do you think you can escape?" At this moment, a mocking voice suddenly came from behind Ouyang Xue.

Two assassins clad in black battle robes, unnoticed, appeared several hundred meters away from her, rapidly closing in.

One assassin was holding a person, whose body appeared mangled, with deep wounds visible on the flesh.

This person turned out to be Ye Hao.
