Chapter 1057 1053: Trampled Underfoot

Celestial Feather City was a large-scale city, and the strength of the foreign races inside was definitely terrifying to the extreme. There might even be Divine Spirit Descendants there.

The reason Sima Tian dared to go to Celestial Feather City was because he had Jia Lu, someone who could rival a Divine Spirit Descendant, protecting him.

But Ye Chen?

What did he have?

This time, among the people the Bai Family sent to protect him, the strongest was only Bai Lie.

In front of a Divine Spirit Descendant, he simply wouldn't be able to withstand a single blow. With what was he supposed to protect Ye Chen?

Yet Ye Chen just happened to lack even this bit of self-awareness, and actually wanted to enter Celestial Feather City to slaughter foreign races.

This was simply courting death.

"Heh! Ye Chen, with just that bit of strength of yours, you dare enter Celestial Feather City? Who exactly gave you the guts? I advise you to obediently stay in the Imperial City, so you don't end up losing your little life." Nangong Hao said, his tone full of mockery.

"A man should know his own limits. For a newcomer like you, being able to complete the newcomer mission is already pretty good. Don't aim too high, or you'll only harm yourself and others." Dugu Yuan spoke as well.

He admitted that Ye Chen's potential was astonishing—otherwise he wouldn't have been able to break three records in the True Disciple assessment.

However, compared to veterans like them among the True Disciples, his strength was still far off.

If he rashly went to Celestial Feather City, he could lose his life at any moment.

Although Ye Chen hadn't joined their Dugu Family, he still didn't wish for such a peerless monster to die in a newcomer mission.

That would be far too much of a pity.

"Heh! You two don't bother trying to persuade Junior Brother Ye Chen. He's far too arrogant to listen. Since he's so eager to go die, we might as well fulfill his wish." At this moment, Jia Lu suddenly let out a sneer, looking at Ye Chen as if he were a pathetic jumping clown.

In truth, she was practically hoping Ye Chen would enter Celestial Feather City.

That way Sima Tian could seize this opportunity to ruthlessly trample Ye Chen underfoot.

After being thwarted by Ye Chen twice in a row, Sima Tian was almost about to develop a Heart Demon.

If he didn't hurry and vent it, it would definitely affect his future Cultivation.

"You lot had better worry about yourselves first. Don't end up falling into the hands of the foreign races later." A cold smile flashed at the corner of Ye Chen's mouth.

Right now, although his Cultivation still couldn't match Jia Lu and the others, his actual strength had already surpassed them by far.

So they had no right whatsoever to stand before him and point fingers.

"Impudent! Ye Chen, who gave you the guts to speak like that to Senior Sister Jia Lu and the others? Hurry up and kneel to them and beg forgiveness." Sima Tian barked sharply at Ye Chen.

Even he hadn't imagined Ye Chen's courage could be this great—he actually dared to offend Jia Lu and the others, existences ranked in the top ten among the True Disciples.

This was truly lawless.

"Just them? They don't have that qualification." Ye Chen said disdainfully, not taking Jia Lu and the others seriously in the slightest.

"You've really gone too far." Jia Lu's expression instantly turned incomparably dark, raging flames surging in her eyes.

In that instant, she truly wished she could make a move and teach Ye Chen a lesson.

So that this overestimating-himself fool would learn what fear and respect were.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Just then, Lan Ying, Bai Lie, and several others hurriedly flew over to Ye Chen, all stepping in front of him.

"Jia Lu, what do you think you're doing? Our purpose in coming to the Northern Nether Realm this time is to slaughter foreign races, not to fight amongst ourselves. As long as I'm here, I absolutely will not allow anyone to lay a hand on Junior Brother Ye Chen." Bai Lie said coldly, his tone extremely strong and domineering.

Although his strength was far inferior to Jia Lu's, he wasn't afraid of her in the slightest.

Because his younger brother Bai Xin was the third-ranked True Disciple, whose strength was even greater than Jia Lu's.

So Jia Lu simply didn't dare do anything to him.

"Hmph! Bai Lie, with that little bit of strength, you can't protect this guy at all. If your younger brother came, that'd be a different story.

When you really run into danger later, don't come begging me." Jia Lu said with a cold laugh.

Hum!

At that moment, the Transmission Array beneath everyone's feet suddenly blossomed with brilliant, dazzling radiance, enveloping them all.

Immediately afterward, they were sent into the Transmission Channel, rapidly heading toward Celestial Feather City.

"Hmph! Ye Chen, don't let me catch an opportunity. Otherwise, I'll definitely trample you under my foot." Sima Tian sneered inwardly.

He had suffered two immense humiliations at Ye Chen's hands.

If he didn't find a chance to trample Ye Chen underfoot, he would definitely develop a Heart Demon.

So even though he knew Bai Lie and the others were protecting Ye Chen, he still couldn't suppress the urge in his heart.

"Junior Brother Sima, when the time comes you can go ahead and attack Ye Chen. I'll hold off Bai Lie. But remember, you absolutely mustn't take Ye Chen's life. Just trampling and humiliating him is enough." Jia Lu transmitted to Sima Tian.

Although there was considerable conflict between Sima Tian and Ye Chen, it hadn't yet reached the point of an Undying feud.

So Sima Tian had no need to kill Ye Chen. Otherwise, once the higher-ups of the Human King Hall found out, he would be doomed.

Even the Jia Family would find it hard to protect him.

"Don't worry, Senior Sister Jia Lu. I've never thought of killing him. I only want to vent the hatred in my heart." Sima Tian said.

"Good. With your current strength, you'll certainly be able to easily crush this guy." Jia Lu said with a slight smile.

...

Hum.

An hour later.

Ye Chen's group flew out from the Transmission Channel, descending above a massive Teleportation Array Platform.

This place was none other than Celestial Feather City.

"Junior Brother Ye Chen, we've arrived."

"This Transmission Array is one-way. It can only send us here from the Imperial City, and can't send us back. So even if we wanted to return now, we couldn't. We can only go slaughter the foreign races." Lan Ying and Bai Lie said, their expressions grave.

Rumble rumble!

Just then, the ground beneath everyone's feet suddenly shook violently, as if a terrifying earthquake had struck.

Immediately after, an incomparably terrifying power swept out, turning a sprawling stretch of buildings several hundred li away into ruins.

"Such powerful demonic power!"

"To think that the moment we enter Celestial Feather City, we encounter such a powerful Demon Race." Many True Disciples were greatly shocked.

Although they were still hundreds of li away from that power, they nonetheless felt lingering fear in their hearts.

"Go! Let's take a look. If it's a Divine Spirit Descendant, I'll be the one to kill it." Nangong Hao said excitedly, then immediately led his team, hurtling toward the distant sky.

"Junior Brother Ye Chen, that power just now is very likely released by a Divine Spirit Descendant. We absolutely mustn't go near it." Lan Ying said, her expression incomparably solemn, as if facing a great enemy.

"I came here precisely to kill Divine Spirit Descendants. You stay here—I'll be right back." Ye Chen grinned.
