Eternal Holy Emperor-Chapter 1246 - 1120: Narrow Encounter Between Enemies

On this day, Ye Chen and his companions walked out of the luxurious Eternal Palace, exhaling lightly.

Because the Ye Family was not far away, just a thousand miles behind Fengy City, they did not intend to commandeer the Great Power Level Divine Ship, opting to travel through the air.

In the sky, there were not few accompanying Ye Chen’s group, all were major forces invited by the Ye Family.

Naturally, those invited by the Ye Family were extraordinary; even if they were not part of the Immortal Sacred Land, they were not far off, with even some from the Supreme Sacred Land and other Emperor Clans coming. Streams of light streaked across the heavens, divine ships traveled alongside, exotic beasts roared, creating a spectacular and attention-grabbing scene.

A thousand-mile journey was negligible to Ye Chen and his companions, even reducing their speed to stay with the main forces still allowed them to arrive in a moment.

In the distant sky, the grandeur of the Ye Family was visible, first catching the eye was a pitch-black Heroic Pass, towering into the clouds, like several Divine Mountains merged into one, reminiscent of the ancient Supreme Saint Royal Family, solemn and imposing, giving off an unshakeable feeling.

Moreover, the Heroic Pass was guarded by a strong Forbidden Army, not a place ordinary people could enter.

The ancient aura within the Heroic Pass seemed to emanate from ancient times, weaving a mysterious, immortal glow, seemingly commanding all heavenly spirits to bow in submission, leaving one shocked and in awe.

"Though this Heroic Pass was not left by the Heavenly Heart Sword Emperor, it’s said that a wisp of Emperor Power was left for its protection, making the Heroic Pass eternally indestructible, a fortress of iron," the Goddess spoke, being the Female Saintess of Taichu Sacred Land, she knew quite a bit about the secrets of the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms.

"A wisp of Emperor Power, indeed extraordinary, not something ordinary people could break through, even an Ancient Great Power would find it troublesome," Ye Chen nodded. This was why nearing the Heroic Pass brought a psychological pressure emanating from this wisp of Emperor Power.

"Let’s descend; entering the Ye Family by air is considered disrespectful and will provoke a response from them," said the Goddess.

Naturally, no one was presumptuous and all descended to the ground, their figures swift, crossing long distances in a few steps, arriving straight at the Ye Family’s main gate.

By then, already many strong individuals from various major forces had descended at the Ye Family’s gate to attend the family competition’s ceremony.

This time, only guests with the Ye Family’s invitation could enter; otherwise, not even a Heavenly King would dare trespass such a forbidden land.

As shadows descended from the Heavenly Dome, strong figures of the Forbidden Army emerged at the gate, guarding it. Among them were strong beings at the Saintly Treasure Realm, and even several particularly formidable qi mechanisms appeared, surprisingly figures of the Heroic Lord Level, stationed to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos.

Ye Chen’s gaze scanned the crowd and suddenly paused, recognizing several familiar faces.

They were indeed the same heavenly prides he had met not long ago in Fengy City, including Li Heng among them.

Similarly, having seen Ye Chen and his group, their initial shock quickly turned into a sinister smile.

Previously shamed before so many people by Ye Chen, they harbored deep resentment, now with a chance for revenge, how could they let it go?

Particularly Li Heng, who glanced over sinisterly, suddenly shouting loudly, "Kid, do you know this is the Ye Family’s gate? You need an invitation to enter. Why are you here without one — planning to cause trouble?"

His words drew everyone’s attention, focusing on Ye Chen’s group, also feeling the five women’s stunning presence.

Among them, the Ye Family’s garrison commander, a stern middle-aged man named Ye Nan, a Heroic Lord Level commander, heard this and immediately his expression darkened, saying to Ye Chen, "Young friend, might you have an invitation?"

"No," Ye Chen stated frankly. When Ye Gucheng came to the Central Imperial City, he did not give him a so-called invitation but another token, promising that holding this token, aside from some specific forbidden areas, he could move unimpeded within the Ye Family.

"Hahaha, coming without an invitation, kid, you really have no shame," Li Heng laughed loudly, other forces’ powerhouses frowned, the Ye Family’s powerhouses wore cold expressions — was this an attempt to fish in troubled waters?

"Forgive me, I indeed do not have one, but—" Ye Chen was about to take out what Ye Gucheng had given him when Li Heng interrupted, "But what, if you don’t have one then leave immediately. Do you think you can enter the Ye Family just because you want to?"

The Ye Family commander also spoke indifferently, "Leave the Ye Family, only those with an invitation can enter."

Ye Chen frowned; if not for his parents and family within the Ye Family, he truly would rather not enter.

For his parents and family, although Ye Chen was strong, he intended to concede, "Commander, though I lack an invitation, I possess another person’s token—"

He was interrupted by Li Heng again, "Commander, please don’t believe this kid’s words. Aside from invitations, is there any so-called token that can replace one for entry into the Ye Family? Clearly, he’s trying to fish in troubled waters."

"Commander, I suggest you discipline this arrogant person, or else the world might think the Ye Family can be entered easily, undermining its prestige," Li Heng suggested.

Ye Nan frowned slightly, as certain tokens could indeed replace an invitation, granted only by those with significant status within the Ye Family; he didn’t believe Ye Chen had the right to possess one. He immediately nodded, releasing supreme qi mechanisms and pressing forward, "Disable your cultivation as punishment!"

Ye Chen frowned, "Does the Ye Family always act without distinguishing right from wrong?"

"For those who dare challenge the Ye Family’s prestige, ask no questions — action alone is needed," the commander moved, suddenly altering the sky’s color, a very strong individual and a triumphant hero.

Yet before he could fully act, Ye Chen approached in a stride, slamming his palm against the commander.

This elicited cold smiles from several heavenly prides, even if they didn’t know who he was, daring to clash directly with a Heroic Master was suicidal — courting death!

The next moment, everyone froze, as the commander’s body flew backward even faster than he came, crashing into the Heroic Pass, causing a tremor.

Stunned!

Everyone was stunned!
