"The Qilin Beast was released by that little creature," Leaf Drifting murmured to himself, suddenly turning to a trusted aide beside him and giving a quick command. The aide nodded and hurried away.
"Hmm?" Outside the Chaos Barrier, Fang Chen, who had witnessed this scene, instinctively furrowed his brow, sensing that something was about to happen.
Noticing Fang Chen's gaze, Leaf Drifting suddenly looked up and met Fang Chen's eyes. Their gazes locked, and a strange smile appeared on Leaf Drifting's aged face.
Boom Boom Boom!
The gray Chaos Barrier rippled continuously as the Qilin Emperor crashed against it after being unleashed by Fang Chen, the booming sounds never ceasing.
More than half an hour passed quickly in this situation.
Looking at the Chaos Barrier, which had noticeably thinned out, Sword Elder and the others wore smiles on their faces. Many had already begun to adjust their breathing, waiting for the barrier to break so they could confront the Ye Family in their best condition.
"This little creature is getting stronger and stronger." In contrast to everyone's excitement, Fang Chen chuckled lightly as he watched the Qilin Beast repeatedly strike the Chaos Barrier, speaking softly to himself.
Indeed, the peculiar-looking creature before him, black and white in color and clearly at the Nirvana Realm, was the same little Qilin that Fang Chen had brought out from the Colorful Sacred Realm—the mutated Little Qilin born from the Thunder Kirin.
It first consumed a portion of Divine Consciousness fragments from Daoist Master Realm and fell into slumber. Later, when Fang Chen entered the Spirit Realm Core and fell into Reincarnation on the Golden Leaf, this little creature also unexpectedly entered Reincarnation. This meant that during the Reincarnation experience at Spirit Realm Core, it was not just nine people but nine people and one beast.
Of course, when the little creature fell into Reincarnation, the other eight were unaware. Even Fang Chen himself did not know at that time; he only realized it later when the little creature awakened.
After undergoing Reincarnation and accompanying Fang Chen through ten years of arduous cultivation to digest what it gained from Reincarnation, this little creature—who had contained a part of Fang Chen's power since birth—had unknowingly advanced to Nirvana Realm.
This was undoubtedly a miracle.
Moreover, while others were unaware, Fang Chen knew very well that if it weren't for the urgency to break through the Chaos Barrier now, the Qilin Emperor—who had already advanced to Nirvana Realm and could no longer be called a little creature—could have given a huge surprise to everyone from the Ye Family.
“Fang Chen!” At that moment, a loud shout suddenly came from within the Chaos Barrier.
Leaf Drifting wore a cold smile on his face as he waved his hand, and instantly, a stunning White-Clad Woman appeared beside him.
This beautiful White-Clad Woman was none other than Ye Lingrou, who had originally been imprisoned in the ninth level of the Tower of Floating Corpses, Fang Chen's mother, Ye Lingrou!
At this moment, Ye Lingrou was wrapped in numerous Divine Patterns. These Divine Patterns seemed to have sealed all of her Vital Energy, making her look extremely weak, as if she would fall over with just a gust of wind.
“Stop right there! Look who this is!” Leaf Drifting said coldly.
“Mother!” The smile on Fang Chen's face suddenly vanished at that moment. His gaze was fixed on Ye Lingrou, and seeing his mother's tragic state, a hint of crimson suddenly rose in his dark eyes.
“Release my mother!” he said word by word, an overwhelming Killing Intent emanating from his body.
“Roar!”
The Qilin Emperor, which had been continuously crashing against the Chaos Barrier, sensed something unusual about Fang Chen and stopped its frantic assaults. It hovered in front of the Chaos Barrier, its enormous qilin eyes fixed intently on Leaf Drifting, as if it could break through the barrier at any moment to attack him.
“What’s going on? That person is actually Fang Chen's mother?”
“The Ye Family has imprisoned Fang Chen's mother.”
“Damn it, what a despicable act by the Ye Family.”
Witnessing this sudden turn of events, Sword Sovereign and others began to curse in anger.
Faced with the angry curses from Sword Sovereign and the others, Leaf Drifting remained unfazed, wearing a victorious smile. He looked at Fang Chen, his lips curling slightly as he said calmly, "Now, if you leave this group and join the Ye Family, swearing to be a servant of the Ye Family for all eternity, I can spare your lives. Otherwise, heh..." A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and the threat in his words was unmistakable.
"Shut up!"
"Dream on!"
"Brother Fang Chen, you must not believe him."
Before Fang Chen could speak, Feng Qingyang and the others could no longer contain their anger and shouted.
They might not fully understand Fang Chen's strength yet, but he was at least a powerful Nirvana Realm expert with considerable combat ability. Moreover, he had an extraordinary companion, the Qilin Emperor, who also reached Nirvana Realm. It could be said that Fang Chen alone was worth at least two ordinary Nirvana Realm experts.
At such a critical moment, even if there were just two more peak fighters of this level, it could significantly impact the final outcome. If Fang Chen sided with the Ye Family now, it would be a tremendous blow to their group. This would mean they would lose four Nirvana Realm fighters in one go, making it seem like they had already lost most of the battle before it even began.
Without even glancing at Feng Qingyang and the others, Leaf Drifting focused solely on Fang Chen, waiting for his response.
Beside him, Ye Lingrou seemed silenced; she couldn't utter a word throughout. However, she looked at Fang Chen, whose killing intent was palpable, with a hint of pity and gently shook her head.
At that moment, under everyone's gaze, Fang Chen suddenly stepped forward and directly approached the protective barrier. Then he opened his mouth and uttered three words: "I agree."
As soon as these words fell, silence enveloped the surroundings.
Then came the response.
"Brother Fang Chen, you mustn't!"
"Brother Fang Chen, you must not trust him."
"How foolish."
This was the reaction of Sword Elder and the others.
On the other side, Leaf Drifting's smile grew even wider as he said, "Those who recognize the times are true heroes. Good, good, good."
Just then, a loud rumble echoed.
The Qilin Emperor, who had been standing next to the Chaos Barrier like Fang Chen, suddenly moved. With a thunderous crash, it slammed into the Chaos Barrier once more. This time, the Chaos Barrier enveloping the entire Ye Family did not shake violently. Instead, in an instant, where the Qilin Emperor struck, layers of Chaos Power dissipated like melting snow.
No, it wasn't dissipating; upon closer inspection, the Chaos Power in that area was actually being absorbed by the Qilin Emperor.
Devour! This was the terrifying power of Devour!
