Ye Chong glanced at Ye Fan not far away. The latter understood and immediately reprimanded his close disciples, preparing to call them to join the battle.
However, despite Ye Fan's shouting and threats, he could no longer command the disciples behind him. No matter how good their relationship was, it all fell apart in the face of life and death, leaving Ye Fan utterly disappointed as he cursed loudly.
The few Trusted Disciples who were scolded by Ye Fan usually had a fierce demeanor, but now they shrank back, lowering their heads and not daring to meet Ye Fan's gaze.
After all, Ye Nanzhai had returned, and the chaotic scene was under control. Most of the lower-ranking disciples had turned against them; how could they go against the will of the majority?
Although no one responded to Ye Fan, he still gritted his teeth and charged forward to stand alongside Ye Chong, planning to fight together as father and son.
Ye Chong looked over at the other three Flag Masters. They were supposed to advance and retreat together in life and death, but at this critical moment, they stood frozen in place, quietly turning their heads away as if they saw nothing and made no response.
At this point, Ye Chong was at a desperate juncture, caught in a precarious situation where he couldn't climb up or slide down.
More importantly, the other Flag Masters had lost faith, which dealt a huge blow to Ye Chong and nearly caused him to collapse.
Under Lu Chen's intense gaze, the three of them had already lost their confidence; how could they dare to act against Ye Chong and join him in rebellion?
The timing was simply wrong. Even if they wanted to help Ye Chong, they didn't dare to oppose Ye Nanzhai openly. They couldn't bear the wrath of the crowd.
Any Ming Ren with a functioning brain would understand that in such circumstances, it was unwise to step forward. Those who did so recklessly were simply asking for trouble and deserved to be caught.
"Well then, Ye Chong, this is what you brought upon yourselves. Don't blame me for being rude. Today I will exercise my authority as leader; otherwise, how can I maintain my face leading tens of thousands of Congregation?" Lu Chen said coldly, his tone filled with an imposing presence.
"Ye Nanzhai, stop looking for excuses. Use whatever means you have; I don't believe your Qigong cultivation is that formidable. Your Three Aspects Return to One Scripture may be impressive, but we are only five steps apart. With my two years of hidden cultivation and further advancement in my skills, do you think you have any chance for Yin Spirit Disembodiment? Without Three Aspects Return to One Scripture, you are nothing. If we rely solely on Qigong Martial Arts to fight, you might not have the upper hand; we don't yet know who will prevail."
Ye Chong briefly outlined both sides' advantages. He had considered all the pros and cons; if Lu Chen dared to use Yin Spirit Disembodiment in front of him, he believed he had at least a seventy-five percent chance of shattering Lu Chen's Flesh.
If Lu Chen's Flesh were destroyed, even if he ultimately won by killing Ye Chong himself, it would only result in mutual destruction.
Ye Chong had already lost his temper and was beginning to lose his rationality, wanting to take Lu Chen down with him.
"Moreover, I still have my son Ye Fan. His Qigong Martial Arts should not be underestimated. With the two of us working together, we could take your life at any moment."
Ye Chong added confidently, believing that if they struck with lightning speed, Lu Chen would have little chance to retaliate, and it was certain that Flesh would be shattered.
"Tsk tsk tsk," Lu Chen shook his head with a look of regret and said, "Ye Chong, I have already given you a chance, but you did not seize it well. Now you want to drag your son down with you. It seems I can only fulfill my duty as a leader."
"Come on, it's pointless. Let's see who is truly powerful," Lu Chen had just finished speaking when Ye Chong shouted.
Then, Ye Chong, Ye Fan, and Lu Chen all attacked simultaneously. Amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd, a flash of brilliance swept across the scene, and soon two figures fell to the ground.
One was Ye Chong, and the other was his son Ye Fan. Their heads had already separated from their bodies but remained alive at that moment; it was simply that Lu Chen's speed was too fast—fast enough that no one could see it clearly, fast enough that life could not be extinguished in such a short time.
"Unity of Man Divine Power Body."
Ye Chong and Ye Fan's heads were three feet away from their bodies, blood splattered on the ground in a pool of crimson.
Their heads had separated from their bodies, yet their eyes remained open, and they could still speak. One muttered "Unity of Man," while the other uttered "Divine Power Body," before they completely died.
Unity of Man and Divine Power Body naturally referred to Lu Chen. Just moments ago, Lu Chen had taken their combined attack head-on with Divine Power Body and then switched between flesh and spirit to sever their heads with Imperial Aura.
The power of Divine Power Body was far beyond what they could imagine. Although Lu Chen had taken their combined attack directly, he suffered no damage; his iron-clad body had absorbed all the harm.
Moreover, Lu Chen intentionally took their strike because he did not want Ye Chong and his son to die too disgracefully; he left them some face.
In just the blink of an eye, two people had died—Ye Chong and Ye Fan. They could both be considered Qi Gong Masters, yet before Lu Chen, they were as easy to crush as ants.
It was evident to everyone that Lu Chen had deliberately taken their combined attack; this was something everyone could see.
In an instant, everyone gasped in shock. Lu Chen's cultivation had reached the Divine Power Body level, and he had achieved Spirit-Body Unity, which was simply unbelievable.
It should be noted that throughout the years, even the past leaders of the Ye Family had never produced a master of Spirit-Body Unity. Who would have thought that Ye Nanzhai would be such a talent?
Those who had originally planned to rebel, especially Ye Xuan and the other three Masters, turned pale and stood frozen in place. One could only imagine how little chance they would have had to survive if Lu Chen had used his earlier technique against them.
Thus, they completely abandoned any thoughts of rebellion. Even if Lu Chen were to voluntarily hand over the position of leader to them, they would not have the courage to accept it.
"According to Flag Master standards, we will give Ye Chong and his son Ye Fan a grand burial. This matter ends here; no one is to pursue it further," Lu Chen stated, indicating that Ye Chong would be honored with a funeral befitting a Flag Master.
Ye Chong had plotted rebellion and spoken disrespectfully. Lu Chen returned just in time to kill him, yet he still intended to give Ye Chong a grand burial. Such a result was simply unacceptable; it could only be said that Lu Chen's heart was exceptionally broad.
With a wave of his arm, the heavy doors of the Eternal Life Palace, which had been closed for a long time, rumbled open automatically.
Then, Lu Chen cast a meaningful glance at several Flag Masters below before turning and stepping into the Eternal Life Palace. The heavy doors closed behind him, leaving everyone with an imposing silhouette that lingered in their minds.
After a long while, those at the entrance of the Eternal Life Palace finally reacted; the matter had concluded with the deaths of Ye Chong and his son Ye Fan.
Lu Chen did not hold others accountable and gave Ye Chong and his son a grand burial, demonstrating the magnanimity of a leader who balanced grace and authority rather than resorting to cruelty. This was the true essence of a Supreme Leader, embodying the demeanor of a king.
Disciples rushed over to collect the bodies of Ye Chong and his son and clean up the bloodstains left at the scene. Subsequently, Ye Xuan and others also left one after another. The lower-level disciples departed just as quickly as they had arrived.
In less than half a moment, thousands of people had dispersed, and once again, tranquility returned to the entrance of the Eternal Life Palace.
Now different from before, although Skeleton Palace remained quiet, it exuded an ominous atmosphere. Someone was inside—the true master of Skeleton Palace had returned. It was this aura and atmosphere that firmly suppressed the Red Robe Sect Headquarters, leaving no one daring to act recklessly.
In Skeleton Palace and Eternal Life Palace, Lu Chen sat alone on the spacious Throne, supporting his head with one hand. His expression was calm, but his thoughts were complex.
With Ye Chong and his son dead and the rebellion quelled, it seemed impossible for the Red Robe Sect to get involved with Qi Kingdom. This was a result that pleased everyone; however, Lu Chen still could not bring himself to feel happy.
Because Ye Nanzhai had expressed regret for not being able to suppress the higher-ups of the Ye Family with force during the Corpse Transformation, he was reluctant to take action against them. Ye Nanzhai himself was a member of the Ye Family, sharing a common ancestry, while Ye Chong and other high-ranking members were the backbone of the Red Robe Sect. This was the reason why Ye Nanzhai did not want to act against them.
However, Lu Chen did not learn from Ye Nanzhai's mercy; instead, he acted unilaterally, daring to fight and kill. He immediately took action to eliminate Ye Chong without any hesitation, shocking everyone.
Lu Chen's melancholy stemmed from having gone against Ye Nanzhai's original intent. What would happen when Ye Nanzhai returned? He had no idea.
But upon further reflection, it didn't seem that complicated. Ye Chong had a rebellious nature and was fundamentally not a compliant person. Even if he was spared now, he would eventually cause trouble again.
Additionally, Lu Chen planned to lead a group of trusted subordinates to Chongzhou to seek refuge with the Duke of Qi, indulging in a grand dream.
Given his mindset, which truly went against the founding principles of the Red Robe Sect, he wouldn't feel remorse even if he had to kill Ye Chong a hundred times.
After a while, Lu Chen straightened up, sensing that someone was still waiting outside. However, due to the special restrictions of the Eternal Life Palace, his Divine Sense was often unreliable.
Lu Chen opened the door and flew out, arriving at the entrance of the Eternal Life Palace, where he indeed found someone waiting for him.
This person was none other than Zuo Zixiong, the Vice Sect Leader whom Lu Chen had personally appointed.
