Yaya's delighted exclamation filled the purple-crowned youth with a sense of accomplishment. He laughed heartily, then turned to address the other women. "Fair Immortal Maidens, I am Li Heng from the Ancient One Sacred Land. I sincerely hope you would honor me with your presence to accompany me to the Ye Family to observe their grand competition."
It must be said, they indeed had the capital to be proud. After all, they were Heaven's Pride disciples from an Immortal Sacred Land, born handsome and extraordinary. Moreover, the Ye Family's grand competition was not something just anyone could observe. Only individuals of sufficient stature or Heaven's Pride talents with exceptionally high aptitude had the qualification to attend as spectators.
However, the women all couldn't help but laugh in unison. What Heaven's Pride, what brilliant talents? Before the real Ye Chen, they were nothing more than worthless trash not even worth mentioning. They simply didn't know who they were dealing with.
But in the eyes of these several Heaven's Pride figures, they thought the women were pleasantly surprised. Smug smiles appeared on their faces, believing everything was under their control.
"Fair Immortal Maidens, please board the carriage. Let us proceed together," Li Heng from the Ancient One Sacred Land spoke up, appearing cultured and polite, very humble. He smiled before even speaking, which indeed added a favorable impression.
If it were ordinary women, their maiden's hearts might have been captured.
But Ye Chen stepped forward, his face expressionless. "Apologies, these are my family members. If you want to flirt, please turn left at the exit."
As for these Heaven's Pride figures, others might feel some apprehension, but Ye Chen didn't even have the desire to make a move.
To put it bluntly, these so-called Heaven's Pride could be suppressed a thousand times over with just one finger. However, he wasn't the type who enjoyed showing off.
"Kid, didn't I tell you earlier to break your own legs, kneel, and apologize to these Immortal Maidens? Hurry up and do it! You even dare to talk back? Break your own arms as well, as punishment."
Li Heng's expression immediately darkened, turning quite unfriendly. The Demi-Saint divine might emanating from his body grew noticeably stronger, pressing forward and causing the floor tiles to crack inch by inch.
This was even with intentional restraint, knowing this was the Ye Family's Maple City and not daring to go too far. Otherwise, the damage would have been far greater.
Many people secretly shook their heads, sighing inwardly that this young man was still too young. These were Heaven's Pride disciples from Immortal Sacred Lands. The fact that they dared to charge through the streets in their carriages in a place like Maple City showed just how arrogant they were.
Rashly clashing with them would ultimately only result in bringing trouble upon oneself.
Breaking his legs and admitting fault immediately was the best course of action—at least he could save his life.
"Scram!"
Ye Chen was even more direct, showing no mercy.
"Kid, you've got some nerve, daring to tell us to scram. In all these years, you're the first. I originally intended to spare your life, but now I can only send you to your death." Li Heng was instantly enraged. His talent was exceptional; he was a top-tier Heaven's Pride figure even within the Ancient One Sacred Land. When had he ever suffered such humiliation, especially from a kid in front of several Immortal Maidens?
Boom—
He struck directly, his attack imbued with Demi-Saint divine might, forcefully pressing forward. The void shattered, cracking inch by inch.
Many people on the street shook their heads and sighed. Some even couldn't help but cover their eyes, not wanting to see Ye Chen's body shattered to pieces.
Suddenly, a sharp divine might flashed across this stretch of heaven and earth. A wisp of terrifying pressure overflowed from Ye Chen's body, instantly suppressing this void and causing the figures of the several Heaven's Pride figures to solidify on the spot, unable to move.
Boom! Boom! Boom!—
Ye Chen simply flicked his sleeve in an attack, as if massive mountains and great peaks were crashing forward. It directly sent the figures of the several Heaven's Pride figures flying backward. They skidded across the ground for over a hundred zhang before stopping, each vomiting several mouthfuls of blood, looking utterly disheveled.
Though the description seems long, everything happened as fast as lightning. Many among the onlookers hadn't even reacted before they saw the several Sacred Land disciples sent flying in the next moment. Numerous people were dumbfounded.
Li Heng and the others were even more shocked, staring at Ye Chen before them. Even they couldn't see how he had made his move—it was too fast. Yet they had felt a shocking pressure flash past, even surpassing the Saint Treasury Realm, belonging to the Heavenly King Realm.
Could this young man actually be a Heavenly King?
When this thought streaked across their minds, each of them felt a chill run through their bodies. But the next moment, they dismissed it. It was impossible—he was too young. It was more likely the other party possessed some special secret artifact that could release Heavenly King pressure.
They all knew they had kicked an iron plate this time. Their scalps went numb, and they couldn't help but ask, "Who are you? Do you know who we are?"
Even at this point, they hadn't forgotten to threaten him with the power behind them.
But Ye Chen still had only that one word: "Scram!"
The several Sacred Land Heaven's Pride figures were furious. This was too hateful, especially being humiliated like this in front of the Immortal Maidens and the numerous people of Maple City. It was simply a complete loss of face.
"Still not scramming? Do you want me to break your arms and legs?"
Ye Chen snorted coldly. When the several Heaven's Pride figures felt his icy, merciless gaze sweep over their bodies, they couldn't help but tremble. They hurriedly rushed onto their respective carriages and soared into the sky, even forgetting to leave behind any parting threats.
However, a trace of sinister ruthlessness flashed in Li Heng's eyes. This matter wouldn't end here. They would seek revenge, and they would involve the Ye Family in their retaliation.
"Daddy, I sense that one of them has developed malicious intent, wanting to harm you. Should I go deal with them?"
At this moment, Yaya's expression, which had been on the verge of tears, completely changed. She coldly watched Li Heng and the others piloting their carriages into the distance, itching to move. That single word "Daddy" directly caused everyone present to be wide-eyed and dumbfounded. They finally understood—these people were all together, and they had just been toying with Li Heng and the others from the Ancient One Sacred Land.
However, Yaya's mention of "dealing with them" made many people's scalps go numb. This little girl was not ordinary.
Ye Chen said indifferently, "No need to bother. With so many enemies already, one or two more jumping grasshoppers won't make a difference."
"What a pity. Yaya still wanted to play with these shameless guys who dared to flirt with me, Mommy, and Auntie." Yaya pouted, somewhat disappointed. That eager, itching-to-try look in her eyes made many people break out in a cold sweat. Indeed, birds of a feather flock together.
Ye Chen gently patted her head and chuckled softly. "Be good, Yaya. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. No need to pay attention to such minor characters. If anyone dares to flirt after we enter the Ye Family, just start fighting directly. Daddy will support you."
"Yay!" Yaya hugged Ye Chen and planted a smacking kiss on his cheek. "I knew Daddy is the best to me!"
The others on the street scattered like the wind. This family was insane, even daring to set their sights on the Ye Family.
The family paid no heed to the astonished gazes along the way. Before the Ye Family grand competition officially began, they arrived at the most famous and luxurious palace in Maple City to stay temporarily. It contained special cultivation caves that could provide cultivators with a place for cultivation.
Soon, the day of the Ye Family grand competition finally arrived.
