Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

"Please, come in."

The Boundary Spirit smiled faintly. Her smile was so radiant and peerless it was intoxicating.

Staring at the woman in white before him, whose beauty could topple nations and whose aura was as elegant as an orchid, Old Man Wushan couldn't help but look stunned.

He knew the Sect Leader was young and ambitious, a peerless talent who was bound to have beautiful women by his side.

But when on earth had this beautiful woman arrived at the Demon Sect? How had none of them noticed?

As this thought crossed his mind, a peculiar look appeared in Old Man Wushan's eyes.

'And here I thought the Sect Leader was solely dedicated to the Dao, a man obsessed only with cultivation.'

'I never would have guessed he'd be one to hide a beauty in a golden house!'

Song Yubing was also stunned by the Boundary Spirit's appearance.

She considered herself quite beautiful and graceful, but compared to the nation-toppling beauty before her, she instantly seemed to pale in comparison.

Song Yubing's expression was a bit unnatural. "Since this young lady is here, it's not convenient for me to go in and disturb you."

"We can chat some other time, whenever Young Master Ye has a free moment."

With that, she turned and hurried away.

Watching her departing figure, Old Man Wushan cleared his throat and said, "Sect Leader, well... I'll take my leave as well. Sect Leader, please make sure you get some rest."

Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a bit awkward.

He glanced at the Boundary Spirit, then stood up as well. "Since you've recovered, I'm going to head out and take care of some things."

"Where are you going?" The Boundary Spirit grabbed Ye Chen's sleeve. Her fingers were soft and delicate, like suet jade—pale and slender.

"I'm making a trip to the Liu family's residence."

"I promised them I'd help resolve an issue."

Ye Chen thought for a moment, then added, "After I'm done with the Liu family's matter, I'll come back and start preparing to break through to the Primordial Mansion Realm."

Breaking through to the Primordial Mansion Realm was an extremely important matter.

He had to continue building upon his supreme foundation so that even after stepping into the Primordial Mansion Realm, he would possess absolute combat strength far exceeding that of ordinary Cultivators!

"I want to go too," the Boundary Spirit said in a small voice. "Take me with you."

"You too?" Ye Chen was taken aback, but he quickly understood.

'The Boundary Spirit probably just wants to stay in the outside world a little longer.'

"I can let you stay out of the Imprisoned Dragon Grotto Heaven. Wouldn't it be fine for you to remain here in the Demon Sect?" Ye Chen asked.

"No." The Boundary Spirit shook her head. "I want to go out and walk around."

"Alright then. Let's go."

Ye Chen nodded slightly. He had no reason to refuse the Boundary Spirit's small request.

The two of them went to the Elder Pavilion together.

Along the way, the Boundary Spirit's peerless beauty and figure attracted countless fiery, passionate gazes.

But the Boundary Spirit seemed completely oblivious, simply looking at the outside world with a joyful expression.

"Young Master Ye!"

Song Yubing and several of the powerful experts from her sect happened to be guests in the Elder Pavilion at that moment.

Upon seeing Ye Chen arrive, a look of pleasant surprise immediately appeared on her face.

The Cyan Rainbow Hall experts behind her, however, wore solemn expressions. Not daring to be disrespectful, they stood up and bowed with clasped hands to Ye Chen.

Although their status far surpassed that of all the other Cultivators present, Ye Chen was the one person they would never dare to underestimate.

After all, the scene of Ye Chen slaying a Divinity Transformation Realm Cultivator outside the Dragon Prison Cave was still fresh in their minds!

"I have to go out for a bit. I'll be back soon."

Ye Chen said calmly, "After I return, I'll begin my attempt to break into the Primordial Mansion Realm, and then I will set off with Miss Song."

Song Yubing nodded slightly. She glanced at the Boundary Spirit beside Ye Chen and asked, "Where might Young Master Ye be heading?"

"The Liu family," Ye Chen replied.

"The Liu family of Lei Province?" Song Yubing mused. "I wonder if I might accompany you on this trip?"

"You want to go to the Liu family's residence too?" Ye Chen was a little surprised.

"That's right. Since I have this rare opportunity to be in the unfamiliar lands of Lei Province, I'd also like to walk around and take in the sights."

Song Yubing said with a gentle smile.

"I see no reason why not." Ye Chen didn't mind either way.

"For now, all of you stay here at the Demon Sect. I'll accompany Young Master Ye and be back shortly," Song Yubing instructed the crowd of Cyan Rainbow Hall experts behind her.

"This... Miss, will that be...?"

The experts from Cyan Rainbow Hall glanced at each other, hesitating.

"Are you worried about even this?" Song Yubing frowned. "I'm not that weak. Who in all of Lei Province could possibly harm me? Just worry about yourselves."

Hearing this, they just looked at each other in dismay and said nothing.

'Who in all of Lei Province could possibly harm Song Yubing?'

'Isn't the answer standing right in front of them?'

'Letting Song Yubing be alone with a dangerous character like Ye Chen... how could they not be worried?!'

"Enough. It's decided. You will all stay here and wait for my return."

After instructing them once more, Song Yubing took a few graceful steps, arriving before Ye Chen. She smiled. "Young Master Ye, shall we depart?"

"Alright."

Ye Chen didn't hesitate and set off immediately.

He left the Demon Sect with the Boundary Spirit and Song Yubing in tow.

Behind them, a sea of envious and ardent gazes followed.

"As expected of our Sect Leader! A beauty on each arm... and they're both absolutely stunning!"

"Exactly! That Miss Song is a prodigy from a major power like Cyan Rainbow Hall. As for the woman in the white dress... she's unbelievably beautiful, but I don't recognize her."

"Don't even have to think about it. For her to be by the Sect Leader's side, that woman in white must have an extraordinary background!"

"With the Sect Leader's abilities, he's considered a top-tier prodigy in the entire eastern part of the dynasty! It's an enviable position, but it's only natural for him to receive such treatment!"

"..."

Not long after Ye Chen left the Demon Sect.

Within a patch of shadow below, after a series of violent wriggles, a human head actually emerged.

The head was hideous, grotesque, and evil. Its lips were split nearly to its ears, and its pupils glowed with a faint green light, as if it had locked onto some delicious prey.

"Did you see it?"

"That fellow... it seems like he has an incredibly terrifying power sealed within him."

"That's practically a supreme tonic! If I could just swallow him in one gulp, I can't imagine how delicious it would be!"

The grotesque head licked the corner of its mouth. Its tongue was like a small, crimson snake—incredibly nimble and capable of extending several meters.

As the grotesque head's hoarse voice faded, the shadow once again rippled like a tide.

Immediately after, the upper half of another body was revealed.

This body was even more terrifying. Atop its withered, sallow neck sat three heads!

One of the heads had a large hole torn open in its crown, and within the pale-white brain matter, half of a dark-red brain seemed faintly visible.

"I saw it."

The three-headed monster let out a cackle, all three of its heads shaking. "Don't you dare try to compete with me for it!"
