Chapter 551: He Is an Honored Guest of the Huo Family

Elder Huo!

Everyone was stunned. They could sense something unusual in Ye Chen’s tone.

It was now obvious to everyone that Ye Chen knew this old man, someone whom even the young master of the Profound Wind Pavilion had to treat with reverence.

But most importantly, this elder’s surname was actually Huo!!!

Who didn’t know that the Huo family was a powerful family that stood at the apex of the Black Triangle, one of its undisputed overlords?

When they connected this with the fact that the elder had an immense background—so immense that even Liu Yifeng was treading carefully, not daring to slight him—everyone immediately made the connection.

‘Could this elder be from the Huo family?’

“Heh heh…”

At that moment, the old man smiled.

“It’s been a while, young friend Ye Chen.”

“The Huo family of Lieyang City welcomes you to visit anytime. Please don’t feel like you’d be imposing!”

The moment he finished speaking, the entire crowd erupted in an uproar.

Lin Ruowei was dumbstruck, and Liu Yifeng’s pupils contracted.

Lin Qiyun was in disbelief, while the old Priest’s hand trembled in fright.

The Huo family of Lieyang City!

This elder really was from the Huo family of Lieyang City!

“There is only one Huo family in Lieyang City, and they are one of the four great families of the Black Triangle Region.”

Even Xiaohe knew this.

Her little face was filled with astonishment as she exclaimed, “Young Master, what kind of background does he have? How could he know someone from the Huo family?”

Beside her, Lin Qiyun wore a complex expression and said nothing.

“If I have the chance, I will definitely pay a visit.”

Ye Chen smiled and replied casually.

He was, of course, no stranger to the old man before him.

They had met once before atop Kunlun Mountain and could even be considered comrades who had fought side-by-side.

The elder was none other than the Second Elder of the Huo family, Huo Wuji!

Even Ye Chen hadn’t expected to run into someone from the Huo family here.

After all, for a member of the Huo family, one of the overlords of Lieyang City, to appear in such a remote place was a rare event in itself.

“Sir, you…”

On the field, Liu Yifeng looked at the elder in disbelief.

He never imagined that the man would know Ye Chen, and from the looks of it, they were quite familiar with each other.

“Let me be direct.”

“Young friend Ye Chen is an honored guest of my Huo family. Even the Patriarch himself holds him in high regard!”

Huo Wuji said coolly, looking at Liu Yifeng.

“What?” Liu Yifeng’s pupils shrank.

Nearby, Lin Ruowei, Han Luo, and the others were scared silly. They had never imagined Ye Chen’s background was so immense.

To the people of the Vermilion Bird Tribe, the Huo family was a truly colossal power!

The Huo family’s Patriarch was a figure who might as well have existed only in legends; it was nearly impossible to even catch a glimpse of him.

But now they were hearing that even the Patriarch of the Huo family was exceptionally respectful toward Ye Chen. How could they not be shocked?

“You asking me to take action against young friend Ye Chen is undoubtedly putting this old man in a difficult position!”

“Besides… even I am not his match.”

Huo Wuji spoke again, revealing a shocking truth.

He was not Ye Chen’s match!

Liu Yifeng’s fists clenched, his eyes wide. It was as if a monstrous wave had crashed through his heart, leaving him unable to calm down for a long time.

Who didn’t know that this Elder Huo Wuji was a true Great Power of the Divinity Transformation Realm?

Even he admitted he was no match for Ye Chen.

‘Then just how powerful is Ye Chen?’

Liu Yifeng didn’t dare to imagine.

But he knew that today, he had likely made a decision he would regret for the rest of his life.

He didn’t dare provoke Ye Chen!

A person with such a shocking background definitely possessed the power to annihilate the Profound Wind Pavilion at any moment!

He was bringing a cataclysmic disaster down upon the Profound Wind Pavilion!

Liu Yifeng swallowed hard, his heart still trembling.

‘Thankfully, things haven’t reached the point of no return!’

‘With Elder Huo Wuji here to mediate, I don’t have to completely burn my bridges with Ye Chen!’

‘Next, I just have to respectfully apologize to Ye Chen!’

“Young Master Liu, this…”

Lin Ruowei, standing to the side, was already scared stiff.

Watching Liu Yifeng’s expression flicker erratically, she couldn’t help but speak in a trembling voice.

“Shut your mouth!”

However, before Lin Ruowei could finish, Liu Yifeng had already snarled viciously, his face contorted like a ferocious beast about to devour its prey.

Lin Ruowei’s face went pale, and she didn’t dare make another sound.

She had never seen the normally gentle and refined Liu Yifeng wear such an expression.

“If it weren’t for you, you bitch, how would I have ever provoked Young Master Ye?”

“You’re blind as a bat, and you still wanted to drag me down with you! How venomous can your heart be?”

Liu Yifeng said coldly.

“No… it’s not like that… I… I didn’t…” Lin Ruowei froze. She realized things were bad.

It was obvious that Liu Yifeng was about to vent all his anger on her!

“Lin Ruowei, you better remember this!”

“You caused this monumental disaster today and nearly dragged my Profound Wind Pavilion down with you! I will settle this score with you properly!”

A cold glint flashed in Liu Yifeng’s eyes, his killing intent blazing. “And you actually deluded yourself into thinking you could marry into my Profound Wind Pavilion and become its mistress? In your dreams!”

“From now on, you’ll spend the rest of your life as a slave for my Profound Wind Pavilion! And the most lowly kind at that!”

Liu Yifeng’s words struck Lin Ruowei’s mind like a bolt from the blue.

Her Divine Soul wavered, and she felt herself on the verge of fainting on the spot.

A slave for the Profound Wind Pavilion!

What did that mean? It meant that from this day forward, she would become the lowest of the Profound Wind Pavilion’s servants, unable to leave for her entire life, forced to toil diligently for them until she died!

How could Lin Ruowei possibly accept this?

She was the current Clan Leader of the Vermilion Bird Tribe!

Forcing her to be a slave was like casting her from heaven into hell. She couldn’t bear to imagine how miserable her life would become!

“No… please don’t…” Lin Ruowei was terrified. Her knees went weak, and she collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face before she even realized it.

She had already arranged the marriage with the Profound Wind Pavilion, and they had accepted her.

She was just waiting to marry into the Profound Wind Pavilion and become the most glorious tribe Clan Leader.

But who could have imagined that Lin Qiyun’s husband would turn out to be such a terrifying figure?

So terrifying that Lin Ruowei couldn’t even muster a sliver of resentment in her heart.

After all, this was someone even the Huo family had to treat with solemnity. How could she dare to hate him? And what good would hating him do?

She regretted it.

‘Perhaps I shouldn’t have been in such a rush to deal with Lin Qiyun.’

‘Perhaps it wouldn’t have been impossible for me and Lin Qiyun to coexist in the tribe.’

Seeing this, Han Luo, who was standing to the side, let out a heavy sigh, his expression extremely complicated.

He knew that Lin Ruowei’s life was ruined.

Taken as a slave by a power like the Profound Wind Pavilion, it would be impossible for Lin Ruowei to ever make a comeback.

“You want to take her as a slave?” Just then, Ye Chen glanced at Lin Ruowei and suddenly spoke.

Liu Yifeng’s body trembled. “Is there a problem, sir?”
