Chapter 601: Chapter 548: Time Retrospect, Searching for the Truth, Update 71

The sudden drastic change left Ye Chen’s face pale and even tinged with traces of panic.

"Why did the people of the Ye Family all disappear suddenly, not a single one left, everything gone?"

Ye Chen’s abrupt appearance out of thin air, standing above the city gate, startled many, with multitudes of civilians looking at him in shock.

From within the City Lord Mansion, several powerful figures bolted out, each one a formidable Innate Strong People, bellowing, "Who is that insolent fool who dares to stand before Hee Mansion and blaspheme? Descend at once!"

"Scram!"

Ye Chen bellowed, his shout resonating between heaven and earth, thunderously exploding above Luofeng City, deafening anyone who heard, as they all covered their ears.

The foremost of those Innate Strong People were sent tumbling backward like kites, coughing up blood in great heaves.

This was only because Ye Chen had shown restraint; otherwise, with his roar that could shatter the eardrums of Saints, how could mere Innates possibly endure it?

Ye Chen slowly rose into the air, causing everyone within the city to gasp in surprise: "A Martial God warrior!"

And such a young one at that.

But it was the formidable individuals from the Yangg and Xia Families, once on par with the Ye Family, who were the first to come to a realization. Despite the changes in his face, that young man was all too familiar—wasn’t that Ye Chen?

He had returned!

Ye Chen’s eyes fell on the inside of the City Lord Mansion as he declared, "Who is the current master of the City Lord Mansion? Come out immediately, or I do not mind wiping out everyone in the mansion right now."

A venerable figure soared from the City Lord Mansion, his mighty Demigod Realm aura blossoming intensely; he regarded Ye Chen coolly and said, "I do not know who you are, but you will pay the price for your brazen intrusion into Hee Mansion today."

With that, he reached out a massive hand directly at Ye Chen.

Pfft—

Without anyone seeing what exactly happened, the next moment, the formidable half-Divine Elder of the Hee Mansion was seen hurtling backward, coughing up blood profusely, and in great disarray.

"A mere demi-god dares to commit such an atrocity!"

From his superior position, Ye Chen exuded a sliver of supreme and overpowering presence, causing the very heavens and earth to seem as if they were congealing.

The half-Divine Elder from the Hee Mansion was even more terrified, with the pressure far exceeding his own by countless times.

This seemingly young man before him, it seemed, was a supreme being transcending above the Demigod.

In no time, the half-Divine Elder of the Hee Mansion knelt down, pleading hastily, "Please spare my life, great sir. I, a lowly elder, was blind to your greatness and offended you. It’s my mistake. Please, have mercy and spare this small one."

Ye Chen spoke with an icy tone, "Tell me, how did you come to possess this mansion? Shouldn’t it belong to the Ye Family?"

The elder didn’t dare hide anything, responding, "To answer you, sir, this mansion indeed used to belong to the Ye Family, but the people of the Ye Family left eleven years ago. Before their departure, they sold it to our Hee Mansion. If you do not believe it, you can ask other people in the city; we of the Hee Mansion would never dare deceive you, sir."

Ye Chen’s Divine Sense was so powerful, he directly searched the Sea of Consciousness of one of Hee Mansion’s high-ranking individuals, receiving an answer exactly like the one just given by the half-Divine Elder.

It had been eleven years since the Ye Family, for some unknown reason, moved away en masse, completely vanishing from this world, which was perplexing.

Taking action personally, he searched through many individuals within the city, including that half-Divine Elder, and all provided the same response.

What’s happening!?

Ye Chen’s expression was grim, and a disappearance without any reason was impossible. The light screen was personally set up by Elder Yan; it would be difficult for even a Saint to find it, let alone to open it.

Moreover, only the members of the Ye Family had left home, which was the most puzzling part.

When something is abnormal, there must be a demon at work!

Ye Chen slowly ascended, and suddenly, his Holy Body burst forth with immeasurable golden light, enveloping the entire Luofeng City.

On his body, dense and complicated Dao Traces spread rapidly, profound and mystical, a thousand times more so than ordinary Dao Traces; they were the exclusive Principle Traces of a Combat Saint.

At this moment, in order to discover the truth, Ye Chen was about to perform a powerful secret technique—

Time Retrospect!

His body turned, Holy Power operated, spells were cast, and in the area covered by the golden light, countless scenes emerged as time rapidly flowed backward. Though not real, they were merely illusions that gave all the people in the city the illusion of a time and space disorder.

Although the people did not know what Divine Skills Ye Chen was performing, they certainly transcended those of the Demigod Realm with a Dao Secret Skill of extreme extraordinariness.

The light and shadows soon flowed back to eleven years ago, and even went through the memories searched in the Sea of Consciousness to the exact time period when the Ye Family had disappeared en masse.

He saw his parents, saw Ye Zimei, saw Ye Zhengyang, and also saw other family members.

Everything was accurately restored to eleven years prior.

Everyone in the city was shocked; what kind of technique was this? Although it wasn’t an actual reversal of time, it felt almost the same.

However, Ye Chen’s eyes were tightly focused on all the family members within the mansion; everything was as usual.

Only after noon passed did his parents and the other family members begin to have a vacant look in their eyes, as if some unknown change had occurred.

Before long, these people’s eyes returned to normal, but one by one, including his parents, they all left the mansion and Luofeng City.

Moreover, his parents sold the entire City Lord Mansion at a low price to what is now the Hee Mansion.

All of this was no doubt the same as what was retrieved from the search in everyone’s Sea of Consciousness.

During this time, Ye Chen was frowning; although everything seemed very normal, that moment of vacant eyes was so abnormal.

He channeled Holy Power, expanding to cover a hundred zhang radius of the entire light screen area. This was just so-called Time Retrospect, not reversing time. Although it was difficult, with his strength, he could expand to such an extent.

Because this was merely a special world; to cover an area like Luofeng City in the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms would almost be the limit.

In the end, however, after the Ye Family members left the city, they disappeared without a trace, suddenly vanishing without a trace and unsearchable.

Suddenly, he performed Time Retrospect once again, returning to that moment when the family members’ eyes were vacant. He sensed some faint, imperceptible details.

"So that’s it..."

He muttered softly, then suddenly the golden light exploded. Supreme power emerged, Principle Traces manifested, and at that instant, all scenes within the Time Retrospect shattered, replaced by a completely new and different scene.

It was still Luofeng City, still the Ye Family, but at that moment, on the City Lord Mansion, powerful figures appeared, riding extraordinary Exotic Beasts, surrounding the Ye Family.
