Chapter 71: Tenth-Stage Expert?

  Ye Chen's shoulder fox glared at Liu Zhen and others, with a strange and mysterious aura in his eyes.

  The war broke out at once.

  Two low growls came from outside the hall, a red giant tiger and a yellow leopard walked in.

  "It's the Xuantian Red Tiger and the Swift Shadow Leopard!" The crowd of fortress masters and clan leaders gasped in unison, retreating hastily. These two, the Xuantian Red Tiger and the Swift Shadow Leopard, were both ninth-grade demonic beasts - how did they end up inside the Ye family fortress? Even a mid-ninth grade expert would feel their heart turn cold at the sight of these two, fearing that they might go berserk and devour people.

  "What's going on? How could a 9th-level demonic beast appear here?"

  Even Qin Jiao Tou was taken aback, warily watching Xuan Tian Chi Hu and Xun Ying Lei Bao. With his strength, he could kill Xuan Tian Chi Hu and Xun Ying Lei Bao, but the two ninth-grade demon beasts launching a simultaneous frenzy was also quite frightening.

  Liu Zhen retreated several steps in a row, nervously looking at Xuan Tian Chi Hu and Xun Ying Lei Bao.

  Under the shocked gaze of many fortress owners and tribal leaders, Xuan Tian Chi Hu and Xun Ying Lei Bao walked to Ye Chen's side, their copper bell-like eyes staring at Liu Zhen and others, letting out a low growl.

  Everyone originally thought that Xuantian Red Tiger and Swift Shadow Leopard were wild demonic beasts that had accidentally run into the Ye Family Fort, but upon seeing this scene before their eyes, they finally realized that these two were actually being raised by the Ye Family Fort!

  A ninth-grade Yao beast can actually listen to human orders, this is an unprecedented event, the various fortress masters and clan leaders thought it was their own eyes that were deceiving them, but the fact is right in front of them, they cannot help but believe.

  Ye Chen coldly looked at Liu Zhen, saying word by word: "You might as well try making a move in my Ye Family Fortress!" Anyway, they were already sworn enemies with the Donglin County Prince's Manor, so Ye Chen had nothing to fear anymore.

  Liu Zhen calmed his mind, and as someone who had seen many scenes before, he suppressed the shock in his heart and burst out laughing three times. In a gloomy tone, he said: "Does Yejia Fortress think that with just two more beasts, they can do something? It's really underestimating the power of the Donglin County Prince's Manor! Let alone two ninth-grade demon beasts, even if there were ten or twenty, do you think they could protect Yejia Fortress? Qin Jiao, please trouble yourself to kill those two beasts."

  "Yes, Young Master Wang." Qin Jiao said with a fist bump, step by step approaching the front of the main hall.

  Xuantian Red Tiger and Swift Shadow Leopard rushed past Qin Jiao's head, the beastly roars echoing in the great hall.

  "Tribe leader, they have brought him." Ye Ping appeared at the entrance of the hall, and upon seeing the scene inside, he was taken aback for a moment.

  The atmosphere in the hall was somewhat oppressive, Ye Ping suddenly spoke out, attracting everyone's attention, and behind him was a middle-aged man with a sturdy figure.

  That middle-aged man swept his gaze across the crowd in the hall, and landed on Ye Chen. He suddenly felt a strong pressure on his soul, and his heart trembled. He thought to himself that the aura of the Demon King was indeed different. As for why Ye Chen was just a young man, he didn't think too much about it. The Demon Kings could transform at will, regardless of whether they were old men or young men, men or women. Each Demon King had their own preferences, and it had nothing to do with age. Which Demon King wasn't an ancient monster that had lived for thousands of years?

  "What are you doing speaking here, looking for death!" A mid-9th stage servant under Liu Zhen saw that it was a Ye family member and slapped Ye Ping with his palm. The young master wanted to establish his authority, so he didn't hold back at all and struck very heavily.

  Just as the palm was about to hit Ye Ping, a dull thud was heard, and his palm seemed to have hit an iron plate, causing his entire arm to go numb, and the meridians on his arm almost collapsed. He looked up to see that it was the middle-aged man following behind the Ye family who had swung his sleeve to block the palm. This situation made him terrified, as the opponent had only swung his sleeve to catch his full-strength palm, and his strength was probably much stronger than Qin Jiao's. He didn't know what kind of background he had, so he retreated a few steps, too afraid to come forward again.

  Ye Ping was also startled, thinking it was a close call. That was a blow from a 9th-level expert, and if it had landed on him, he would have been smashed to pulp. It wasn't until now that he realized the middle-aged man with the big beard following behind him was also an ultra-powerful expert!

  In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on this middle-aged man with a sturdy figure and ordinary appearance.

  The one who just attacked Ye Ping was Liu Zhen's guard, and Liu Zhen and the others obviously knew the guard's strength, which was a mid-9th stage expert! A mid-9th stage expert's full-strength attack was actually blocked by a middle-aged man with just a casual wave of his sleeve. What kind of background did this middle-aged man have? They couldn't help but feel shocked and uncertain in their hearts. Qin Jiao also stopped in his tracks, the guard standing vigilantly beside Liu Zhen.

  The middle-aged man looked around, unsure of the situation in the hall. He thought to himself that the person next to him from the Ye family was probably a servant of the Demon King's subordinate. As for the others, he wondered what their relationship was with the Demon King's subordinate. Since he had helped block a palm strike for the Demon King's subordinate, it should be fine. However, he didn't dare to be presumptuous and carefully glanced up at Ye Chen above him. Seeing that Ye Chen wasn't angry, he relaxed. He felt quite surprised in his heart - how could someone as esteemed as the Demon King mix with some low-ranking humans? The strongest person in this hall seemed to be only at the peak of the 9th rank. However, after thinking about it, once a demon king reached the pinnacle, their realm was difficult to improve further. Many demon kings would transform into human form and descend into the mortal world to gain experience and seek breakthroughs in their realm. Could it be that this Demon King's subordinate before him had also reached the pinnacle of being a demon king? His heart skipped a beat - this information must be reported to the Lion King.

  "Are you here?" Ye Chen glanced at the middle-aged man and said lightly, it was hard to imagine that this middle-aged man was actually a pangolin in disguise. He thought to himself that this guy had arrived just in time, but he didn't know what level this pangolin was. The Xuan Beast's Di Shi realm was equivalent to what level of human cultivation? Looking at how easily he blocked the attack of a 9th stage mid-term expert, he should be at least at the peak of the 9th stage in terms of strength.

  "Yes, Your Highness..." He immediately responded with a respectful tone, but then stopped halfway, thinking that Ye Chen might not want to reveal the identity of the Demon King in front of everyone.

  Seeing the middle-aged man's expression so solemn, everyone in the hall was stunned. This middle-aged man had just shown off his skills when he entered the hall, and should be at the peak of 9th rank. Such a 9th rank master, when facing Ye Chen, is actually being so cautious, which is really shocking! Generally, a 9th rank master wouldn't need to have such an expression even when facing the Duke of Donglin.

  Liu Zhen and Qin Jiao exchanged a stunned glance, with a hint of confusion flashing in their eyes.

  Even Ye Zhantian and Ye Cangxuan were puzzled, when did Chen Er get to know the top master of the 9th stage? Moreover, that top master of the 9th stage was so respectful in front of Ye Chen, it didn't seem like a friendship, but rather like a subordinate, which made them wonder.

  "Speak up, step forward." Ye Chen's gaze swept across the hall, where all the castle owners and clan leaders were present. Not a single one of them dared to make eye contact with Ye Chen. Everyone was in a state of confusion, wildly speculating.

  "Yes." The middle-aged man with a big beard bowed his head, put his hands on his chest, and walked forward with his waist bent.

  What makes a ninth-level master treat Ye Chen with such respect? Does Ye Chen have some extraordinary background that no one knows about?

  Everyone was puzzled, and even the Ye family couldn't figure it out.

  Just as the middle-aged man passed by Qin Jiao's side, Liu Zhen and Qin Jiao exchanged a glance. Qin Jiao suddenly took a wrong step, his right hand condensed into a mysterious energy, and he slapped the back of the middle-aged man's head with one palm. This person seemed to have a deep relationship with Ye Chen, so killing him first would eliminate future troubles! Even if he was at the peak of the 9th rank, being hit by Qin Jiao's sneak attack would undoubtedly be fatal!

  Qin Jiaotou is indeed a top-notch master of the 9th rank, the powerfulness of his Xuan Qi has reached an astonishing degree, as he unleashes his palm, even if it's against the hardest steel, it would likely be imprinted with his palm mark.

  "Be careful!" Ye Zhan Tian and Ye Cang Xuan among others all shouted out a reminder, but it was already too late.

  They seemed to be able to imagine what would happen next. Ye Chen's heart also tightened at the same time.

  That middle-aged man didn't dodge or evade, Qin Jiao's palm hit the back of his head, just like hitting a steel plate, making a dull thud, not quite like the imagined scene where he was slapped to splatter his brains everywhere. He seemed completely unscathed and glanced at Qin Jiao with a faint gaze.

  The entire arena was silent, and the ninth-level peak master's palm hit the back of his head, but nothing happened at all. Not even a hint of defensive aura was used, and he single-handedly withstood the full force of the ninth-level peak master's attack. What kind of background does this guy have? Could it be that he is a tenth-level master?!
