Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

Has this kid gone mad?

Does he not realize how much danger he's in?

Or… does he really think he can handle four Divine Might Realm experts?

Outside the door, Murong Dai frowned, crossing her arms as if waiting for a good show.

Although the crisis seemed impossible to resolve, this was the territory of the Treasure Gathering Chamber of Commerce. All Ye Chen had to do was bow his head to her, and he would receive the Chamber's protection.

She wanted to see just how long this stubborn boy could hold out.

When faced with a life-or-death crisis, she refused to believe Ye Chen wouldn't take the initiative and ask for her help!

"Kid, at a time like this, I can't be bothered to play games with you."

Master Jingde's eyes glinted. He looked at Ye Chen coolly and got straight to the point, his voice cold. "You should know the purpose of our visit. It's not some friendly house call…"

"We're here to take your life!"

As he finished, Master Jingde's tone became much more sinister. He made no effort to hide his dense killing intent, and the atmosphere in the room grew heavy.

Hongyu Pill Venerable's delicate brows knitted together. She silently moved in front of Ye Chen, her full attention fixed warily on Master Jingde.

"Oh?"

"So impatient you won't even keep up the pretense?"

Ye Chen stood with his hands behind his back, a faint smile on his face as he said, "Since it's come to this, I have nothing more to say. By all means, come and die."

His expression was indifferent, his demeanor completely at ease. He stood casually in the center of the room, looking for all the world as though Lord Shakyamuni and the others were beneath his notice.

"Hmph!"

Master Jingde snorted. "I don't care what backing you think you have. Today, you will die without a doubt!"

"Fellow Daoist Mu, if you please!"

The moment he finished speaking, Mu Liuji laughed. "Don't worry. I know what to do even if you don't say it."

With a casual wave of his hand, a dense darkness spread out like flowing water, covering everything in all directions. It was as if an ink-black canopy was sealing off the world.

In the blink of an eye, it had completely enveloped the entire room!

For a moment, it was as if Ye Chen and the others had been transported to an alternate dimension, completely cut off from the outside world. Not a single trace of their auras could escape.

Outside the room, Murong Dai's eyes flickered, her expression filled with shock and doubt.

'Is that… the Valley of Death's Eternal Night Sky technique?'

'Damn it, I can't sense what's happening inside at all!'

Murong Dai's expression shifted. For a moment, she was at a loss.

No matter what, Ye Chen was a young, sixth-grade Alchemist. His achievements in the path of Alchemy were suspected to be even more astonishing than Hongyu Pill Venerable's!

If such a prodigy were to fall here, it would be an unimaginably huge loss for the Treasure Gathering Chamber of Commerce!

"What's going on?"

Just then, Mo Tianyun and his group arrived.

They too had noticed the anomaly around Ye Chen's room, and their faces fell.

"Commander Murong, this is…" Mo Tianyun looked at Murong Dai, recognizing her, and asked in alarm.

"A Celestial Tier assassin from the Valley of Death is on the move. I'd advise Steward Mo not to act rashly."

Murong Dai glanced at Mo Tianyun and replied coldly.

"A Celestial Tier assassin?!"

The expressions on Mo Tianyun and the others' faces turned extremely grim.

They never would have imagined that the Valley of Death would send even a Celestial Tier assassin just to deal with Ye Chen!

"It must be Lord Shakyamuni and his group again!"

Mo Tianyun had just seen Lord Shakyamuni on the deck of the Cloud Mist Tower Ship not long ago.

It seemed the only reason Lord Shakyamuni had boarded the ship was to deal with Ye Chen!

"Commander Murong, what is going on here?"

"Are you just going to stand by and do nothing while a guest on the tower ship is attacked?"

Mo Tianyun couldn't help but say, his voice tinged with anger.

"As long as the tower ship isn't damaged, our Chamber of Commerce will absolutely not interfere in the affairs between our guests."

Murong Dai had no intention of giving Mo Tianyun any face and replied icily.

Although Mo Tianyun and his group were from the Great Hong Demon Exorcism Institute and had extraordinary status…

...the Treasure Gathering Chamber of Commerce was the number one chamber in all of Great Hong. As the second-in-command of its Punishment Office, how could her own status be any less?

A mere steward from the Demon Exorcism Institute was not worthy of her attention!

"You!"

Luo Rou and the others were also furious.

But their strength was limited. Even if they wanted to help Ye Chen, there was nothing they could do.

After all, this Eternal Night Sky was the work of a Celestial Tier assassin. With their abilities, they had no hope of breaking through it!

Unless Murong Dai took action!

But clearly, the second-in-command of the Punishment Office intended to stand by with her arms crossed, unwilling to get involved.

"Relax. Even if Lord Shakyamuni really did bring a Celestial Tier assassin, I believe little friend Ye Chen will be just fine."

"Don't forget, the demonic beast by little friend Ye Chen's side has already successfully taken human form. Its combat power is even greater than that of an ordinary Divine Might Realm Great Power!"

The elder soothed the crowd with a deep voice.

Mo Tianyun and the others nodded. "The elder is right."

"Right now, all we can do is wait here."

"With little friend Ye Chen's abilities, how could he possibly fail to resolve such a common death trap?"

Hearing this, Murong Dai, who was standing to the side, said nothing, but she sneered inwardly.

'What awaits Ye Chen this time is no common death trap.'

'Four Divine Might Realm Great Powers are working together. Even with that Divine Might Realm demonic beast to help him, there's no escaping death today!'

What Murong Dai found rather tricky was that the Eternal Night Sky had now isolated Ye Chen's room. Even if Ye Chen cried out to her for help, she probably wouldn't hear him right away!

...

「Inside the room.」

After casting the Eternal Night Sky and sealing off the room, Mu Liuji immediately looked at Ye Chen with a jeering expression.

"This time, no one can save you."

"Whatever trump cards you have, feel free to show them."

He smiled, then, as if remembering something, suddenly said, "Oh, right, where's that demonic beast of yours? If you don't bring it out now, you might not get another chance."

"Don't worry. To deal with you lot, I don't need any help."

Ye Chen still maintained his calm and carefree demeanor.

He had watched as Mu Liuji isolated the room, not only making no move to stop him but actually feeling quite satisfied.

'This way, even if I kill these four, no one on the outside will ever know!'

"You don't need help?"

Lord Shakyamuni stepped forward slowly. A brilliant Buddhist light erupted from his body, and the hazy phantom of a Buddha swirled around him, making his figure appear as majestic as a god.

"In that case, I'd really like to see how you plan to deal with us all by yourself."

His expression was cold, his golden pupils glowing with an intimidating light.

"Then you should watch closely."

Ye Chen gave a faint smile and flicked his sleeve.

The next moment, the golden light around Lord Shakyamuni shattered, and he was sent flying backward.
