"Well, well, if it isn't the peerless Battle Saint King? I never expected you to dare show up with just three people. What a miracle."
An Alien Emperor Clan's Imperial Son spoke up. He was the offspring of Emperor Jiaye, who had attacked the Tenth Emperor Pass a hundred years ago, named Imperial Son Jiaye. Looking at Ye Chen's trio, who seemed somewhat isolated, he curled his lips into a mocking smile.
"Oh my, oh my, Battle Saint King, you actually dare to appear with just a few people. Do you truly think you're peerless, or do you look down on all the Emperor Clans of our Ancient Universe?" Imperial Maiden Gulan also sneered repeatedly.
Apart from Imperial Son Futo and Dark Prison, who had been suppressed by Ye Chen, almost all the other Imperial Sons and Daughters of the Fifteen Emperor Clans were present. However, the two Divine King-level Imperial Sons, Di Wentian and Mo Shitian, were not here, their whereabouts unknown.
Yet with a full eleven Imperial Sons and Daughters present, it was an absolutely luxurious lineup. It was believed that even if Ye Chen were invincible, he could never withstand so many.
Moreover, the seventeen Alien Emperor Clan Divine Kings from the Fifteen Emperor Clans had completely surrounded Ye Chen's trio. Especially the three Divine Kings of the Dark Heaven Imperial Clan, their boundless killing intent permeated the air as they pressed forward step by step, strongly inclined to strike and kill the three.
Therefore, all the Alien Emperor Clan's Imperial Sons and Daughters looked at Ye Chen somewhat like catching a turtle in a jar—Ye Chen was undoubtedly that turtle.
Imperial Maiden Mohe said, "Battle Saint King, out of respect for you as a young generation's supreme of Chaos, you can state your last words in advance."
As she spoke, terrifying auras, infinitely close to the Divine King Realm, surged from the eleven Imperial Sons and Daughters, ready to strike and directly annihilate the Battle Saint King.
Facing the Battle Saint King, who defied common sense—capable of suppressing Imperial Sons and Daughters and slaying supreme talents of that level—they would not care about face. They would swarm and kill him, directly eliminating this fearsome enemy.
Facing such a tense situation, the expressions of Ye Chen's trio remained calm, especially Ye Chen, who swept his gaze calmly over these Alien Emperor Clan Divine Kings and Imperial Sons and Daughters. He smiled, as if speaking casual words without much anger: "Truly the alien race, always bullying the few with many, your shameless style remains unchanged. But before you act, please use your pig-stupid brains to think carefully. Since we know all your Alien Emperor Clans have appeared, do you think we would simply show up here?"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the Alien Emperor Clan Divine Kings and Imperial Sons and Daughters changed. Especially seeing that the Battle Saint King's trio before them remained unperturbed, as if possessing immense confidence, their hesitation deepened, and they dared not act immediately.
Because they had suffered too many losses at the Battle Saint King's hands recently, they were momentarily hesitant.
Once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of a rope.
They also worried that acting against the Battle Saint King now would easily fall into his trap.
The three Divine Kings of the Dark Heaven Imperial Clan urgently said, "Everyone, don't be fooled by this little beast. He's just bluffing."
At the same time, one of the Dark Heaven Imperial Clan Divine Kings directly charged over, attacking Ye Chen's trio.
Pfft—
The Tongtian Old Divine King made his move, without the slightest trace of worldly aura, his Dao techniques natural and unfathomable. With a seemingly plain finger tap, he repelled a Divine King of the Dark Heaven Imperial Clan, causing him to vomit blood and fly backward.
After doing this, the Tongtian Old Divine King lightly returned to Ye Chen's side. But this made all the alien powerhouses wary.
The Battle Saint King had always been cunning, and this Tongtian Old Divine King was also a super Divine King who had progressed far within the Divine King Realm. Even if they wanted to keep him here, it would be very difficult, requiring a great price.
Ye Chen chuckled, then, holding Yu Qing's soft hand and bringing the Tongtian Old Divine King along, simply left.
Just as these Alien Emperor Clan Imperial Sons, Daughters, and Divine Kings were wondering if Ye Chen and his group were putting on a mysterious act, Ye Chen suddenly stopped, turned back to them with a smile, and said, "Happy Valentine's Day today. Wishing you all eternal single-dog happiness!"
Whoosh—
As his words fell, Ye Chen and the other two openly left, entering the imperial capital. In the end, the Alien Emperor Clans never truly attacked Ye Chen and his companions.
"Do we really just let the Battle Saint King leave? This is a great opportunity, a great chance to avenge the Imperial Sons and also rescue the Imperial Sons and Daughters." The various Alien Emperor Clans looked at each other, but for a moment, they couldn't truly act, all harboring considerations, suspecting whether the Battle Saint King was playing tricks, deliberately setting a trap waiting for them to strike.
When they had gotten far enough away, the Tongtian Old Divine King suddenly let out a sigh of relief, looking at Ye Chen with a bitter smile: "Young friend, your courage is too great. If those alien powerhouses had attacked just now, we wouldn't have been able to leave."
Ye Chen smiled: "The more critical the moment, the more you must not panic. The calmer you are, the more they dare not act."
The Xialuo Imperial Capital was vast. Unlike other Emperor Clans and Immortal Clans who searched for various secret treasures, Ye Chen's group focused entirely on searching for traces of the Xialuo Monarch.
All three were true peerless figures. Even Ye Chen's divine sense and strength were fully comparable to a true Divine King Realm character. The three released powerful divine senses, continuously scanning the entire Xialuo Imperial Capital.
The Emperor Clans and Immortal Clans only targeted the Xialuo Empire's imperial family and various sect forces, paying little attention to the ordinary commoners and general cultivators living in the imperial capital. The streets were still filled with countless fleeing imperial capital residents.
However, the Xialuo Monarch's traces were too well hidden. Even with so many Emperor Clan and Immortal Clan Divine Kings searching, they still hadn't found him, as if he had completely vanished from the mortal world.
Ye Chen led the two, walking along the streets, seeing countless imperial capital residents hurrying by. Many sect forces originally stationed in the imperial capital were packing up and leaving, not daring to stay any longer.
For a time, the entire Xialuo Imperial Capital was in a state of panic, with countless people fleeing in all directions.
During this period, many talented elites from the Emperor Clans and Immortal Clans also acted continuously, robbing, killing, and plundering, as if transformed into terrifying bandits.
The jungle law of the strong preying on the weak was played out to the extreme here.
On the ground lay countless heavily injured figures, and many had died here, their blood staining the streets.
Everything, everything, appeared so tragic.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Ye Chen noticed a manor ahead, completely charred black, as if it had experienced a great fire.
Although many places in the imperial capital were ablaze at this moment, and even celestial palaces and divine halls fell from the sky with divine islands collapsing, this charred manor also gave Ye Chen a sense of something unusual.
Here, he felt a faint aura similar to that of the Xialuo Monarch.
Was the Xialuo Monarch here?
Ye Chen's heart suddenly leaped!
