Ye Shu stood against the wind. The strong wind caused her clothes to flutter. When she heard everyone’s discussion, her eyes darkened. It seemed that Old Master Ye was determined to kill her today.

Bai Chen stood beside her and watched the commotion calmly. The corners of his lips curled up, and before she could see him, he flicked a finger toward the distance.

She supported the weak Ye Ting and was about to leave, but her spiritual perception was surrounded by an inescapable net. Ye Shu could not avoid it at all.

“Shu-er, don’t worry about me. Hurry up and leave! Think of a way to leave this place!” Ye Ting’s voice was hoarse and anxious. “I’m seriously injured right now. If you bring me along, I’ll only drag you down!”

Ye Shu was unmoved. Her voice was cold and firm. “Father,I will never abandon you.”

With that, Ye Ting ignored his anxiousness and focused his gaze on the area where the saint beast was roaring. As the roars of the vicious beasts echoed out, layers upon layers of sound waves rolled out. The air was compressed, as if it wanted to pierce through one’s eardrums!

The Ye Family disciples were shaken to the point that their faces were filled with pain as they rolled on the ground!

Ye Shuang didn’t fare any better. With another roar, she finally couldn’t take it anymore. Blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth!

Old Master Ye stood upright like a pine tree. He solemnly extended his hand and bowed. “Please protect the Sect Elder!”

The sky suddenly changed. Black clouds rolled over and over. Purple lightning flickered within, emitting a powerful pressure. Accompanied by the fierce cry of the saint beast, the aura that was approaching seemed as if it wanted to tear open a hole in the sky!

In the capital city, passers-by exclaimed in surprise when they saw the commotion above the Ye Residence.

“Look! The Ye Residence!”

“What’s going on with the Ye Residence? They actually invited a Sect Protector Elder. Could it be… that a Nascent Soul mighty figure wants to harm the Ye Family!”

“However, their sacred beast is an ancient sacred object. It’s still uncertain who will win!”

The crowd was abuzz with discussion. Some were watching the show, while others were gloating. An old man with white hair and beard was wearing a tattered Daoist robe. He looked in the direction of the Ye Residence and made some calculations with his fingers, shaking his head in pity.

“There has been a Heavenly Phenomenon Transformation. It seems that the Ye Family’s fate has already reached its end. Even the Sect Protector Elder can’t save them… They could have provoked anyone, but they had to provoke that person. They deserved it.” After muttering for a moment, he disappeared into the crowd.

Old Master Ye’s voice was as loud and clear as a bell, and it reverberated in the courtyard like waves. “Please protect the sect elders!”

The roars of the Holy Beast in the distance grew louder and louder. In an instant, the earth shook and the mountains shook. A terrifying aura assaulted Ye Shu’s face as her heart sank. This Holy Beast was an existence that was even more powerful than a Nascent Soul Stage mighty figure!

She stood rooted to the ground with a calm expression. No one could tell what she was feeling, but she was extremely nervous.

Right at this moment, the clouds in the sky dispersed, and the gloomy black clouds were pushed aside. The horrifying might instantly vanished, and the Holy Beast seemed to have vanished without a trace.

How was that possible!

Old Master Ye’s eyes were solemn and his voice was even louder than before. He bowed solemnly. “Please protect the Sect Elder!”

But this time, there was a dead silence in the Ye Residence. There wasn’t even the sound of the wind rustling the grass. Old Master Ye panicked. Why didn’t he feel the aura of the Holy Beast? Nobody felt oppressed anymore. They stood up and looked at each other, discussing in low voices.

“What’s going on? Why hasn’t the Sect Protector Elder appeared yet?”

Old Master Ye refused to give up. He bent down and shouted, “Please protect the sect!”

“Pfft!”

Layers of pressure rushed towards him. Old Master Ye’s blood surged and he knelt on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood!

“Old Master Ye!”

“Grandpa!”

Ye Shuang and the others were shocked. They hurriedly went over to help Old Master Ye up, but he was still alive and seemed to be severely injured!

Ye Shu waited for a long time but did not see the Sect Protector Elder they were talking about. She heaved a sigh of relief and yawned. “Since your Sect Protector Elder is unwilling to come out, I will take my leave first.”

With that, she waved her spiritual power with Ye Ting and flew off into the distance.

Old Master Ye looked at their departing figures and almost couldn’t catch his breath. At this moment, a low and cold voice sounded from his divine sense.

“Old Master Ye.”

He abruptly raised his head and looked towards the corner where a white-clothed youth was standing. It was Bai Chen, who was standing beside Ye Shu just now. He lowered his eyes and smiled at Ye Shu, but no one noticed him. It was as if they could not see that youth. Old Master Ye frowned.

“I don’t wish to see this happen again. There are some people that you can’t touch.”

He moved his lips and continued speaking. His handsome face and brows were sharp and seductive.. When Old Master Ye saw the purple light in his eyes, he was shocked and showed unprecedented fear!
