Supreme Lord of Towers

Half a cup of tea later.

Ye Chen arrived above the main peak of the Inner Hall.

This main peak was the largest mountain in the Inner Hall, towering tens of thousands of zhang high; even the clouds and mist could only coil around its foot.

Standing atop the mountain, there truly was a feeling of surveying all the lesser peaks.

"Look, it's Senior Brother Ye Chen."

"Is Senior Brother Ye Chen also here to accept a mission?" In front of a Purple Gold palace, the gazes of all the Inner Hall Disciples were drawn to Ye Chen, their eyes filled with deep reverence.

Ever since Ye Chen had forcefully defeated Sima Tian in the Douzhan Palace and become the new number one of the Inner Hall, the Inner Hall Disciples had all begun to treat him like a god.

After all, Ye Chen's strength was simply too, too overwhelming, completely on a different level from theirs.

Some even suspected that he might have a sliver of hope of becoming a Seed Disciple in the future.

So all the Inner Hall Disciples were eager to curry favor with Ye Chen.

However, they were also afraid of disturbing Ye Chen and provoking his anger.

"Junior Brothers, I want to carry out a mission. I wonder if there's any mission you can recommend to me." Just as everyone was hesitating, Ye Chen suddenly spoke, looking very easygoing.

This was also his first time coming to the Task Hall to receive a mission, so he wasn't familiar with the various missions.

So if someone was willing to introduce them to him, it would undeniably save him a lot of trouble.

"In reply to Senior Brother Ye Chen, not long ago, in the western part of the Black Continent of the Southern Heaven Domain, a spatial passage appeared. A large number of Outer Realm Demon Race have surged out from it and are slaughtering the Human Race everywhere.

Many disciples of our Human King Hall have already begun heading to the Black Continent to carry out demon-slaying missions." A fair-skinned little fatty hurriedly said to Ye Chen with great respect.

This little fatty was named Guo Xi, one of the top hundred existences among the Inner Hall Disciples, and his strength was quite formidable.

But compared to Ye Chen, he was naturally far, far inferior.

"Senior Brother Ye Chen, we just so happen to be planning to form a team to go to the Black Continent and slay the Demon Race. I wonder if you're interested—if you could go with us, it would truly be our honor." Beside Guo Xi, a handsome, gold-robed youth said with a smile, his face full of eager flattery.

This youth was named Lin Yao; his ranking in the Inner Hall was extremely high, even stronger than Guo Xi.

He had even slain two Quasi-God offspring and had quite a reputation in the Inner Hall.

Yet now, in front of Ye Chen, he looked just like a little fanboy.

There was nothing he could do about it—who made Ye Chen's strength so monstrously abnormal?

Countless Inner Hall Disciples were all eager to become Ye Chen's followers.

In fact, within the Human King Hall, quite a few disciple factions had been formed.

Once you joined one of these factions, you would have your own backing.

Previously, Sima Tian had formed a Celestial God Hall, and even many disciples ranked within the Inner Hall's top hundred had joined it.

However, Ye Chen simply couldn't be bothered with such things.

With that time, he'd rather find ways to increase his own strength.

"For this demon-slaying mission, we should be able to encounter Quasi-God offspring of the Demon Race, right?" Ye Chen couldn't help but ask.

Right now, he was still five thousand Human Race Contribution Points short of being able to exchange for the Purifying Fire.

And as long as he slew a single Quasi-God offspring at the Peak of Profound Pill Realm, he could basically obtain five thousand Human Race Contribution Points.

So naturally he wanted to find some Quasi-God offspring of the Demon Race to kill.

If the Demon Race he killed were too weak, he would have to kill many of them to obtain five thousand Human Race Contribution Points.

"Haha! Of course there are. If those Quasi-God offspring of the Demon Race run into Senior Brother Ye Chen, they're definitely in for terrible luck." The little fatty Guo Xi laughed.

"Hmph! These Demon Race brats are committing all manner of evil, slaughtering everywhere in our Yellow Cloud World. Even many geniuses from various Immortal Sects have died tragically at their hands. It's about time they learned how formidable our Human King Hall is." Lin Yao sneered, terrifying killing intent flashing in his eyes.

The overall strength of the Outer Realm Demon Race was extremely powerful, fundamentally incomparable to ordinary Human Race Cultivators.

Especially some of the terrifying existences among them—even disciples of the Five Great Sacred Lands were no match for them, not to mention disciples of those first- and second-rate Immortal Sects.

Thus, during this period, quite a few Human Race geniuses had already died at the hands of the Demon Race.

Precisely because the Demon Race's strength was too great, the Human King Hall had begun issuing demon-slaying missions, sending its disciples personally to slaughter the Demon Race.

After all, the disciples of the Human King Hall were one-in-ten-thousand peerless prodigies, even more outstanding than the disciples of the Five Great Sacred Lands.

With them personally taking the field, they could curb the Demon Race's arrogance and let them know that the Cultivators of Yellow Cloud World were not so easily bullied.

"Alright, then I'll go with you to carry out the demon-slaying mission." After listening to Guo Xi and the others, Ye Chen immediately agreed.

Anyway, this time, the Human Race Contribution Points he needed to gather weren't many—he only needed to exceed five thousand.

So he didn't need to deliberately pick missions that were too difficult.

As long as there were one or two Quasi-God offspring for him to kill, that would be enough.

"Senior Brother Ye Chen, there's one thing I must remind you of: the Demon Race in the Black Continent aren't just Profound Pill Realm experts. There are even Golden Core Realm and Nascent Soul Realm experts among them.

So there are some areas we'd best not approach. If we really encounter Demon Race who are too powerful, we must immediately flee and call for help." The little fatty Guo Xi's expression suddenly turned grave.

If there were only Profound Pill Realm experts among the Demon Race, they would be completely fearless.

But there just had to be Golden Core Realm and even Nascent Soul Realm existences hidden among them.

Once they ran into those, the consequences would be unthinkable.

This was also the risk that accompanied carrying out demon-slaying missions.

However, they naturally couldn't refuse to carry out demon-slaying missions just because there was risk.

If they really encountered such enemies, they could only consider themselves unlucky.

Still, among the Human Race experts going to the Black Continent, there were also some Golden Core Realm and Nascent Soul Realm existences.

Even some True Disciples of the Human King Hall would go there to carry out demon-slaying missions.

So once they ran into danger, they could use their Disciple Tokens at the first moment to request aid from nearby experts.

This was one of the very important uses of the Disciple Tokens.

"I understand! Looks like I'll have to quit while I'm ahead as well—I can't be too high-profile, or I might be targeted by powerful Demon Race experts." Ye Chen nodded.

As the saying went, the tree that stands out in the forest is sure to be felled by the wind.

If a Nascent Soul Realm expert of the Demon Race discovered Ye Chen's astonishing potential, they would definitely try every possible means to eradicate him.

So it was better for Ye Chen to take things easy.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

A short while later, Ye Chen and several dozen Inner Hall Disciples formed a squad and flew toward the nearby Transmission Palace, preparing to depart for the Black Continent.
