Chapter 1106 1102: Lofty and Aloof

Soon after, Ye Chen bid farewell to his foster father and mother and flew towards the Transmission Palace.

Before long, they arrived within the Transmission Palace.

At this time, the Transmission Palace was already crowded with a large number of disciples, bustling with activity.

"Haha! Junior Brother Ye Chen, you're here! I knew you would also go to that Ancient Secret Realm." As soon as Ye Chen stepped into the Transmission Palace, Dugu Yuan greeted him, his face full of smiles, appearing extremely enthusiastic.

Since last time when Ye Chen saved his life in the Northern Nether Realm, his attitude towards Ye Chen had undergone a dramatic change, viewing him as a life-saving benefactor.

"Senior Brother Dugu Yuan, please take care of me when the time comes." Ye Chen smiled slightly.

"Haha! Junior Brother Ye Chen is truly too modest. Your strength definitely ranks in the top four among the true disciples. I should be the one requesting your guidance." Dugu Yuan laughed.

Ye Chen could even kill someone like Xue Luo, a Tier Three Divine Spirit Descendant, proving his strength is definitely not inferior to Nangong Hao.

Moreover, Nangong Hao had already fallen in the Northern Nether Realm.

So, the fourth rank among the true disciples naturally fell to Ye Chen.

"Junior Brother Ye Chen." At this moment, a young man dressed in white suddenly approached Ye Chen, giving him a slight smile.

This young man in white was notably none other than Dugu Yuan's elder brother, Dugu Yuan.

This time, he also planned to explore that Ancient Secret Realm.

In fact, besides him, a large half of the top ten powerful true disciples came, including Jia Lu.

"Senior Brother Dugu Yuan, what is the situation in the Northern Nether Realm?" Ye Chen couldn't help but ask.

"Rest assured, Junior Brother Ye Chen, the Outer Realm races that invaded the Northern Nether Realm have all withdrawn." Dugu Yuan said.

"That's good!" Ye Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

...

"Look! It's Senior Brother Yang Fan and Senior Sister Luo Yan."

"The rumors are indeed true; they plan to explore that Ancient Secret Realm as well."

At this moment, a sudden commotion arose among the crowd.

Everyone's gaze was captivated by a man and a woman, their eyes filled with deep awe.

This man and woman were notably the two core disciples at the Golden Core Realm from the Human King Hall.

The man's name was Yang Fan, extremely robust in build, like an Ancient Divine Mountain, exuding an unparalleled sense of oppression.

The woman's name was Luo Yan, incredibly beautiful, her petite figure emitting a faint blue glow, like the Nine Heavens Divine Lady descending to the mortal world, giving an impression of being unreachable.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Yang Fan and Senior Sister Luo Yan." Many true disciples greeted respectfully.

Even Dugu Yuan, the top true disciple, looked solemn, expressing considerable wariness towards Yang Fan and Luo Yan.

Although he had awakened an Upper Special Physique, compared to Yang Fan's Star Martial Body and Luo Yan's Vast Sea Martial Body, there was still a noticeable gap.

This was why he couldn't become a core disciple.

Thus, in front of Yang Fan and Luo Yan, he naturally humbled himself.

"You are Ye Chen?"

At that moment, Yang Fan's gaze suddenly fell upon Ye Chen, sharp glints shooting out as if wanting to pierce through his secrets.

Nowadays, the news of Ye Chen slaying Xue Luo had spread throughout the Human King Hall, many saying his potential rivals that of a Celestial God Descendant.

Even though Yang Fan and Luo Yan were core disciples of the Human King Hall, their potential couldn't yet rival Celestial God Descendants.

So naturally, they wanted to see what extraordinary qualities Ye Chen had.

"Yes, what advice does Senior Brother Yang Fan have?" Ye Chen smiled slightly.

Even facing Yang Fan, he appeared neither arrogant nor servile.

As if the person standing before him was merely an ordinary disciple.

"I heard you slew the blood Demon Race's Tier Three Divine Spirit Descendant, Xue Luo, in the Northern Nether Realm; it's truly remarkable!

However, you must have relied on some external power, right? Otherwise, how could you possess such strength?" Yang Fan scoffed, his mouth filled with mockery.

Even he, having awakened the immensely powerful Star Martial Body, had no assurance of defeating such a formidable opponent as Xue Luo at the Golden Core Realm Fourth Layer.

While Ye Chen had merely awakened a Middle Special Physique, far inferior to his Star Martial Body.

Thus, it was impossible for him to have slain Xue Luo by his own power.

"If you say so!" A bitter smile crept onto Ye Chen's lips.

He was meeting Yang Fan for the first time, yet Yang Fan openly questioned his strength before so many.

It was undeniably an impolite act.

However, Ye Chen didn't bother contesting it.

For someone as proud as Yang Fan, unwilling to admit his potential was lesser than Ye Chen's, was quite normal.

Therefore, Ye Chen saw no need to explain much.

"What's this? Ye Chen, you seem quite unsatisfied! Does Senior Brother Yang Fan speak wrongly? You don't actually believe you could slay Xue Luo relying solely on your own strength?"

At that moment, Luo Yan suddenly laughed coldly, her tone filled with ridicule.

With her head held high, she looked down on Ye Chen, like a lofty Divine Lady.

Since being taken as a core disciple by the high echelons of the Human King Hall a decade ago, she had lived a life of privilege.

Wherever she went, she received endless adulation from others.

So she always considered herself superior.

Not to mention Ye Chen, the new true disciple, even Dugu Yuan she regarded as insignificant.

"I don't need to explain much to you!" Ye Chen said indifferently.

Even he didn't expect Luo Yan to be more arrogant than Yang Fan.

Nevertheless, he didn't bother wasting time arguing with them.

His true strength would become apparent in the Ancient Secret Realm.

Right now, words held no significance.

"Senior Sister Luo Yan, Junior Brother Ye Chen truly relied on his own power to slay Xue Luo; both Dugu Yuan and I were present at the time." Jia Lu couldn't help but speak up.

Although she was extremely wary of Luo Yan, she wanted to speak a fair word for Ye Chen.

Since indeed, it was Ye Chen's own strength that slew Xue Luo.

"Shut your mouth! Who said you could butt in?" Luo Yan snapped coldly, her tone overbearingly domineering.

Even though Jia Lu belonged to the four great families, in front of her as a core disciple, she was nothing.

She utterly disregarded Jia Lu.

"Damn it!" Jia Lu's face turned fiery red immediately, yet she couldn't explode on the spot, feeling utterly frustrated.

"Hmph! Just a core disciple, thinking so highly of oneself!" Ye Chen sneered coldly, his mouth filled with mockery.

Even he became enraged by Luo Yan's arrogant attitude at that moment.
