Chapter 2927 - 2901: Evidence? (Third Update)
Chapter 2927: Chapter 2901: Evidence? (Third Update)
However, Ye Chen was also curious about Ye Lingtian’s results.
Seeing Ye Chen’s permission, Ye Lingtian turned his head, eyes filled with determination!
As the right-hand man of the Samsara Master, he absolutely could not be embarrassed in this test!
He placed one of his palms on the Soul Nourishing Stele, and his blood essence and energy surged into the stele, immediately receiving feedback from a special power that coursed through his entire body.
Then...
The colors of the two light pillars illuminated; beginning with a crimson, quickly transitioning to yellow, and then the color of the Bloodline Pillar fixed to blue, with even a glimpse of purple light flashing through!
The color of the other light pillar directly formed, like Ye Niang’s level.
Blue-purple! Pure purple!
What does this mean?
The richness of Ye Lingtian’s bloodline far surpassed everyone, potentially rivaling the closest blood descendants of the ancestor. It’s highly possible that Ye Lingtian is a direct descendant of the ancestor, only the lineage slightly diluted over many generations; otherwise, how could one explain that fleeting purple hue?
As for potential, that’s needless to say. The purple color is a legendary level, possibly the highest tier that can compete with the Yi Chen Ancestor in terms of heaven-defying spiritual root, rare in ten thousand years, scarce in All Heavens and the Ten Thousand Realms!
At this moment, everyone was petrified!
Their breathing became rapid!
The Ye family erupted like a boiling pot, with not only the younger generation but also the high-ranking elders discussing fervently.
"Where exactly did this Ye Lingtian come from? He’s overwhelmingly powerful to the point of despair!"
"Could it be that the chief position is destined for him? Brother Ye Sheng and Sister Ni Chang can’t compare to him, what should we do..."
The younger generation of the Ye family was mostly unwilling, and the elders exchanged messages, at a loss for what to do.
"The Soul Nourishing Stele’s detection cannot be wrong; this young man surely belongs to our Ye family, and he is a direct descendant of the ancestor. However... he does not hail from the three main branches, so his sense of belonging to the Ye family is weak. If he harbors ill intentions, we may lose everything!"
"Indeed, the chief of the Ye family can only arise from among our three sects; in such extraordinary times, we must act as ordinary individuals do!"
Even if Ye Lingtian’s test results crushed all the younger members of the Ye family, his "origin" prevented the family from feeling a connection to him.
Though the Ye family remains, it contains elements of vested interests!
Where there are people, there is Jianghu!
What’s more, these figures linked to the Samsara Master are naturally proud!
They do not allow their interests to be encroached upon by others!
Especially those they cannot control!
The three Ye family ancestors were also discussing countermeasures. This result was something they had long expected and prepared for mentally, but...
"The Blood Essence Stealing Pearl cannot be given to him! The Heavenly Dao Palace has long had eyes on it. They might have already locked onto the Linglong Pagoda, and an impending catastrophe could descend at any moment, so we cannot waste such a Supreme Treasure!"
Ye Zigeng’s attitude was clear as he spoke outright.
Ye Ziming was in a dilemma; when it came to major decisions, he always hesitated, with selfish concerns and considerations for the bigger picture, making him seem a bit indecisive.
"Junior Sister Xueqing, as you brought the Blood Essence Stealing Pearl back to the Ye family, your opinion is crucial. In your view, should we give it to him now?"
Ye Ziming asked the elderly woman, Ye Xueqing, beside him.
"Give it to him. Whether the ancestral rites succeed may hinge on this young man. Do not lose the great for the small." Ye Xueqing pondered for a long time before speaking.
Ye Ziming nodded and sent a message to the Ye family’s high-ranking members nearby. Ye Zigeng’s expression was mixed, unclear what he was thinking.
A high-ranking member of the Ye family, at the Half-step Heavenly Deity level, stepped forward, coming to Ye Lingtian, Ye Sheng, and Ye Niang.
Among the three, Ye Sheng looked disheartened, and while Ye Niang showed slight disappointment in appearance, she remained composed, even joking with Ye Lingtian.
"The decision by the three ancestors is settled. I now announce, the third-generation chief of the Ye family is..." The elder paused purposefully for a few beats and then uttered the name.
"Ye Lingtian!"
Boom!
The Ye family members surrounding the altar instantly buzzed with noise!
Ye Sheng stumbled back several steps; though he knew his strength was inferior, and his potential couldn’t match the other party, as a genius of the Ye family, he found it hard to accept such a setback.
"No, it’s not possible, he cannot become the chief, I firmly oppose this!" Ye Sheng lost his composure, shouting loudly.
With his lead, his followers immediately shouted in unison, and other two branches of the Ye family also joined in, enthusiastic and excited.
"Outsiders must not control the chief position!"
"This young man comes from a low-level martial plane, we know nothing about him, what if he is connected to the Heavenly Dao Palace! Then what do we do!"
Ye Chen watched this scene, revealing a cold smile.
With these kinds of people alone, how can the Ye family withstand the Heavenly Dao Palace?
An old saying, in tranquility, consider the peril, especially the Ye family, which has a looming catastrophe at any moment.
When the legacy left by the Ye Family Ancestor is exhausted and each new generation falls short, what awaits them is annihilation.
Moreover, there will be no revival from the ashes.
Just then, an overwhelming aura swept across the venue, and Ye Ziming’s voice rang out: "Beside the altar, stop making noise. Disturbing the spirits of our ancestors, you will bring shame to your predecessors!"
Such a grave accusation was unbearable, and soon, everyone quieted down.
"Ye Sheng, what reason do you have to oppose?" Ye Ziming asked again.
Ye Sheng was his junior, tied by blood as uncle and nephew, and bonded as master and disciple. Ye Ziming had high hopes and genuine care for him. Seeing Ye Sheng speak, Ye Ziming’s intervention carried personal interests.
"I..." Ye Sheng opened his mouth to speak, but the words got stuck, as some thoughts absolutely could not be spoken aloud now.
Questioning Ye Lingtian’s bloodline? Resisting his strength? Those arguments were pointless.
Suddenly, Ye Sheng thought of another person, his eyes brightened, and he pointed a finger at Ye Chen beside him.
"Ancestor, this person came with Ye Lingtian. I suspect he is a spy from the Heavenly Dao Palace. If there’s a problem with him, then Ye Lingtian cannot escape entanglement, and he must not become the Ye family’s chief, or a great disaster will loom!"
Ye Ziming frowned; the three ancestors had already recognized Ye Chen might have a ’problem,’ but out of apprehension, Ye Ziming did not yet want to "move" him, and was about to refute Ye Sheng when another ancestor’s voice intervened.
"What evidence do you have?"
Supporting Ye Lingtian to become chief, advocating to give him the Blood Essence Stealing Pearl, Ye Xueqing’s stance left Ye Ziming astonished.
"During the contest, Ye Chen voluntarily forfeited; he must have a guilty conscience, afraid to undergo the bloodline test!" Ye Sheng declared with conviction.
This statement immediately resonated with many, as they thought that if it were them, having already entered the ’final four,’ they would never choose to forfeit.
If said Ye Chen wisely believed he was no match for the other three, that reason also didn’t hold, because Ye Chen had openly defeated Ye Tanzhu.
