The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1794: Entering the Palace

Kill.

With his mind filled with murderous intent, Ye Shikai transformed into a God of Slaughter, his eyes blood-red. A blade in his left hand and a sword in his right, two Supreme Divine Weapons held by one person, even the heavens seemed to change...

You Xi and the Netherworld Blade seemed to have grown more powerful. When these two weapons were combined, they appeared to interact with each other. Previously, when Ye Shikai used the Netherworld Blade alone, it would absorb a large amount of energy from his body, leaving behind only a consciousness of slaughter, often causing Ye Shikai to lose his original consciousness and become a killing machine. But when using both of these weapons together, his mind was exceptionally clear, and his body’s energy wasn’t significantly depleted, allowing him to easily control both You Xi and the Netherworld Blade.

Perhaps the two Divine Artifacts balanced each other, making them easier for the user to wield, but regardless, this was a good thing.

"Fight again." Ye Shikai shouted loudly, aiming the Netherworld Blade at an elder, taking one slash and instantly ending their life.

"Who exactly is this person?"

"Such strong killing intent is truly rare."

Rumble.

Suddenly, there was a thunderous boom in the sky, and lightning struck down, absorbed by the Netherworld Blade, then slashed towards a nearby cultivator. The sudden thunder forced everyone to retreat by three steps. Although the Wang Family and Tang Family had many people, they could not withstand Ye Shikai’s slaughter. Up to this point, he had already killed nearly a hundred people, most of whom were elders in the Divine Separation stage, which was a significant loss.

"Form an array, surround him." Wang Lian shouted, joining with the elders beside him to form an array that encircled Ye Shikai. As the array formed, Ye Shikai felt as though his whole body was filled with lead and found it difficult to move.

"Break it for me." Ye Shikai shouted fiercely, slashing towards Wang Lian’s direction. Both the Netherworld Blade and You Xi were Supreme Divine Weapons. The energy gathered at one point was so strong that it instantly broke through the array set by the Wang Family. Wang Lian was sent flying, spitting blood, nearly losing his life. The elders forming the array suffered energy backlash, resulting in intense casualties, rendering them unable to fight back.

Back in the day, Ye Shikai had easily slain three Main Gods on the Holy Mountain with just the Netherworld Blade and heavily injured Zeus, and at that time, he was only in the Divine Separation stage. Now he had broken through to the Body Integration Realm, wielding the You Xi Sword as well, like a tiger with wings, worlds apart from before. If it weren’t for today’s battle, perhaps not only the people present, but even he himself wouldn’t have realized how strong he’d become.

"Quick, quickly escort the Family Head out."

Wang Lian was heavily injured, so the Wang Family naturally did not dare to slack, quickly escorting him out of the battle. Ye Shikai didn’t chase after them. More than half of the Wang Family’s elders had been killed by him, resulting in heavy losses, while Ye Shikai remained entirely unscathed and at ease. If Wang Lian and Tang Can had known he possessed such strength, they probably wouldn’t have provoked him.

"All members of the Tang Family, retreat." Tang Can, seeing this, knew he might not be Ye Shikai’s match and promptly ordered a retreat. Feng Ling and others did not pursue. Just like that, Ye Shikai, with the strength of one alone, directly defeated two families and almost killed Wang Lian. If he had actually died, the situation of the four great families standing together in Yanjing might collapse.

Ye Shikai quickly put away his blade and sword, worried that continued use could lead him astray. However, this time it went smoothly; he only felt physically exhausted but mentally clear.

"Kai, are you alright?" Chen Yuxin hurriedly asked as she approached.

"Don’t worry, I’m fine." Ye Shikai gently pushed her aside, panting heavily, and headed back towards the palace. His performance had left everyone in shock, even the previously aloof Feng Ling and Xue Ming now viewed him in a new light. Ye Shikai not only had profound cultivation but also harbored so many treasures on him.

"This time, I must not miss this opportunity." Ye Shikai murmured to himself as if bewitched, walking towards the palace entrance. Having repelled the Wang Family and Tang Family, soon other families would arrive. They are all competitors who would do everything they could to be the first to enter the palace. Having finally driven away the two families, Ye Shikai didn’t want to tangle with the following families.

Approaching the palace’s grand doors, in comparison to the towering doors, they seemed like "small figures." Ye Shikai channelled his Inner Strength, pushing with might, but the doors didn’t move an inch.

Something’s not right. Even doors weighing a thousand pounds should budge slightly, but these doors seemed welded shut, completely immovable.

Ye Shikai reached out, probing, and indeed found a mechanism near the doors. On the smooth wall, there was a brick that could move. Ye Shikai placed both hands on that brick and pushed it in with all his might.

Rumble, rumble.

The doors emitted a rumbling noise, and soon after, they slowly opened. This must be the mechanism to open the doors. Ye Shikai was elated, rushing in immediately.

"Look, the palace doors are opening."

"Hurry over." At the same time, the alliance of five families also arrived at the Kunlun Secret Realm. From a distance, they saw the palace doors slowly opening with a crowd gathered there. Afraid others would get in first, they quickly chased up.

"Master, the other families are also approaching." Feng Ling pointed into the distance.

"Alright, we should hurry in as well." Chen Yuxin nodded.

..................

Ye Shikai was the first to enter the palace. If this palace was truly "man-made," then it must have been by giants. Inside the palace, Ye Shikai appeared extremely small.

"Blade Soul, have you ever been here?" Ye Shikai asked.

"Honestly speaking, I’ve only heard of the Kunlun Secret Realm. It’s, after all, Huaxia’s ’Holy Mountain’ and also a forbidden area for foreign cultivators. So, I’ve never been here, let alone entered this palace. I’m afraid... I can’t give you any advice."

Ye Shikai felt anxious. He wanted to find the rumored energy that could reverse time and space, but in such a vast palace, where should he search?

"Calm, calm." Ye Shikai forced himself to stay calm. What he should do now wasn’t to wander around like a headless chicken but to analyze and try to find the energy source.

"Blade Soul, can you locate the energy source?"

"Well... I can’t do that. There’s a very powerful energy barrier here, and Divine Sense cannot unfold, so I’m afraid I can’t help you."

"Never mind, it’s okay. I can slowly search." Ye Shikai planned to proceed straight ahead to explore the palace first.

"Kai, don’t walk so fast." At this moment, Chen Yuxin also caught up, tightly holding his arm.

"There’s no time to lose, let’s hurry." Ye Shikai, feeling helpless, had no choice but to let Chen Yuxin follow along.
