Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

These four great families were the Huo family, the Xiao family, the Yu family, and the Chen family!

One could say that among the nine top factions of the Black Triangle Zone, aside from the most mysterious Xuanwu Tribe from which no one had appeared, the other eight had all dispatched their experts to the summit of Kunlun Mountain!

Among them, Huo Qiguang, the Patriarch of the Huo family and a Great Power at the Eighth Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm, had even appeared in person, descending upon this very spot!

All because he had heard that his daughter, Huo Susu, was in danger!

In fact, although Ye Chen had entered the secret realm and could not get away, he had asked the High Immortal of Kunlun to keep an eye on the situation outside.

After all, the Realm Spirit and Song Yubing were right there in the square outside the secret realm. With the enormous commotion Ye Chen had caused, they were bound to attract attention from all sides and would inevitably become a target.

It would be terrible if they ran into any danger because of it.

The High Immortal of Kunlun had naturally agreed to this. It was precisely because he had been monitoring the outside world that he had warned Ye Chen before he left to be wary of hidden enemies lurking in the shadows.

During his cultivation, Ye Chen learned that Huo Susu's father, an expert at the Eighth Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm, had personally stepped forward to protect her and the others. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and continue to cultivate peacefully within the secret realm.

Huo Qiguang was the current Patriarch of the Huo family. For such a major figure to suddenly appear on the summit of Kunlun Mountain was like dropping a bombshell, stunning everyone present.

Logically, under the protection of such a powerful figure, Huo Susu and the others should have been completely safe and full of confidence.

However, a closer look would reveal that the expressions of those in the Huo family's camp were not very pleasant.

Huo Qiguang stood at the very front with a solemn expression. His eyes were closed, and his transcendent bearing in his green robes drew the attention of all.

As the current Patriarch of the Huo family, he was their backbone!

Therefore, no matter how grim the situation, he could not afford to lose his composure.

Behind him, the Huo family experts exchanged uneasy glances, their faces etched with anxiety.

"Patriarch, how much longer are we going to wait here?"

"Who knows if that guy will even come back out? We're surrounded by wolves right now and risk being besieged at any moment. It would be better to avoid the brunt of it for now and make plans later!"

The Huo family's Second Elder, Huo Wuji, said with a grave expression.

"I understand everyone's concerns."

Huo Qiguang spoke slowly, his expression calm. "But he is the man who saved my daughter's life!"

"If I don't take him with us and instead let him fall into their hands, wouldn't I, Huo Qiguang, become an ungrateful villain?"

"This..." Huo Wuji's expression turned sour, but he did not dare to defy Huo Qiguang's words!

"Father is right!"

Huo Susu chimed in, "Second Elder, if you are unwilling to stay, you are all free to leave. Father and I will not blame you."

Waiting here for Ye Chen to appear was, after all, her own personal matter.

It had nothing to do with the rest of the family!

She was not willing to drag the others from her family into danger with her!

"But..." A wry smile appeared on Huo Wuji's face. "Miss Susu, your words truly put me to shame. How could we, the disciples of the Huo family, be cowards who cling to life and fear death?"

"The Patriarch himself has not left. How could we possibly leave on our own?"

"Susu is right." Huo Qiguang shook his head. "This is indeed my daughter's personal matter. If we let you all fall into danger because of it, then we would be in the wrong."

Even though Huo Qiguang himself had said this, the Huo family experts still refused to leave.

"Patriarch, rest assured! We are all following you here voluntarily. No matter what happens, we will have no regrets!" everyone declared in unison.

Clearly, Huo Qiguang's prestige and authority as the Patriarch of the Huo family were immense.

They all followed him willingly, unafraid of the potential danger.

Watching this scene from the side, Song Yubing couldn't help but give a wry smile.

The Realm Spirit's expression remained as cool as ever, but a trace of unease flickered deep within her eyes.

Indeed, if the Patriarch of the Huo family hadn't been there to protect them, how could they have remained safely on the summit of Kunlun Mountain?

After all, the commotion Ye Chen had caused when he entered the Kunlun Mountain secret realm was enormous, alarming almost the entirety of Kunlun Mountain.

In an instant, the eight great factions of the Black Triangle had arrived together, reaching the summit of Kunlun Mountain at almost the same time!

Hadn't they all come to Kunlun Mountain precisely because they heard rumors that its secret realm was about to emerge?

Now that they had finally witnessed the Kunlun Mountain secret realm manifest with their own eyes, they were naturally thrilled and ecstatic!

However, when the experts from the eight factions arrived, they were stunned to find that the gate to the Kunlun Mountain secret realm had already closed.

Furthermore, they could find no way to open it!

By speaking with the other experts present, they learned that the earlier commotion had been caused by a single young man.

And that young man was the only person among the many present who had entered the Kunlun Mountain secret realm!

After figuring out what had happened, the major factions that held grudges against Ye Chen were suddenly invigorated!

"All of my Black Tiger Gang's experts were annihilated by him in Kunlun City!"

"No matter what, I will not let him go this time! I will avenge my men with my own hands!"

The first to speak was the leader of the Black Tiger Gang, Long Zhiwen!

He was a fierce-looking middle-aged man, his chest a dense tapestry of scars like ravines. It was clear he had been through countless brutal, bloody battles, a shocking sight to behold!

And next to Long Zhiwen, the leader of the Black Tiger Gang, were experts from the Black Tiger Tribe.

Leading them was the Third Elder of the Black Tiger Tribe, a powerful existence at the Sixth Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm.

He sneered at the time, "Someone actually dared to kill our people? When that kid shows up, not only will we seize every opportunity he has on him, but we'll take his life as well!"

In addition, there were people from the Yu family.

The leading Protector from the Yu family spoke with immense grief, "Our young master of the Yu family died a tragic death at that man's hands... This is an immeasurable blood debt!"

"The Yu family will avenge this hatred, even if it means death!"

Among the Cyan Ape Tribe, the leading white-robed priest's eyes also flashed with malice as he spat through clenched teeth, "That kid also killed our tribe's number one genius, Gu Tianyu!"

"Such an audacious and insolent brat must not be forgiven!"

Right then and there, experts from three major factions had developed the intent to kill Ye Chen!

The other major factions each harbored their own ulterior motives. Although they didn't say much, everyone knew that once Ye Chen appeared, they would never let the opportunities he possessed slip away!
