Chapter 2929 - 2903: Boundless Killing Intent! (Fifth Update)
Chapter 2929: Chapter 2903: Boundless Killing Intent! (Fifth Update)
Unexpectedly, the Ye family’s patriarch actually decided to choose Ye Lingtian as the Chief Ancestor Worship Disciple. This was quite surprising.
It should be known that the Chief Disciple would gain temporary control over the family’s supreme treasure, the ’Blood Essence Sealing God Pearl’!
This treasure, surpassing ancient artifacts, carries the ’Life Law’, contains supreme power of life, and mastering it is tantamount to controlling a mysterious force, gaining endless lifespans and blood essence.
Could it really be handed over to an ’outsider’ just like that?
It wasn’t until Ye Xueqing, an ancestor who possessed the Blood Essence Sealing God Pearl, handed this supreme treasure to Ye Lingtian that many people still felt as if they were in a dream. However, having the previous lesson learned from Ye Sheng, no one jumped out to oppose it this time.
Only a very few felt relieved; after all, the Ye family had reached this point, so what good would caring so much do?
Once this ancestor worship fails and the millennial catastrophe descends, whether the Ye family, faced with enemies from all sides, can preserve its bloodline heritage is still an unknown.
In that case, it would be better to take this gamble.
On the top floor of the Linglong Tower, when Ye Lingtian received the Blood Essence Sealing God Pearl from Ye Xueqing’s hand, his expression was not much excited. Though his gaze constantly landed on this treasure, it was merely one of appreciation and curiosity.
In his heart, this object, he was only temporarily keeping it for the Hall Master.
Everything here should belong to the Hall Master.
Unfortunately, before the Hall Master has fully grown, his identity must not be revealed.
A small Ancient Pearl, its whole body carved like a blood diamond, crystal clear. The faint red glow surrounding it gave it a dreamy appearance, and even just at a glance, one could feel the endless life blood essence it contained within.
Holding it, it seemed as if one possessed immortality.
"During the ancestor worship, it will be under your control. Take good care of it, as it concerns the future of the Ye family," Ye Xueqing solemnly instructed.
"The disciple will remember it," replied Ye Lingtian, flipping his palm and putting away the Blood Essence Sealing God Pearl, then clasping his hands in respect toward Ye Xueqing.
"Rest for three days; three days from now, the thirty disciples in the final round will be led by Ye Lingtian to the depths of Jueye Land to officially commence the ancestor worship!"
Ye Ziming announced loudly, using divine voice technique, the rumbling sound spreading throughout the entire Linglong Pagoda, all the disciples of the Ye family heard it.
After the announcement, the crowd slowly dispersed, and Ye Chen and Ye Lingtian also planned to return to their residences, but at this moment, Ye Niang came over.
This exceedingly beautiful woman, whose every step moved her feather robe gracefully, had an air of a banished immortal.
"Congratulations to Brother Lingtian, for becoming the Chief Disciple of the ancestor worship. If the worship succeeds, you will reap endless benefits!"
A light and airy voice came, her red lips as blazing as flames, her bright eyes and white teeth stirring one’s heart.
"You said it too, the ancestor worship needs to succeed," Ye Lingtian said calmly.
"Brother lacks confidence in this worship?" Ye Niang asked unexpectedly.
Ye Lingtian shook his head, "The unoccurring can’t be predicted. Instead of empty confidence, it’s better to prepare more methods, so as not to be caught off guard by any surprises."
Ye Niang listened, seemingly thoughtful.
She suddenly looked at Ye Chen, who had been silent, and asked, "Young Master Ye, what about you?"
Ye Chen’s eyes were extremely calm, smiling slightly: "Me? Just do your best and obey destiny."
"Young Master Ye, that’s not quite right. If we merely obeyed destiny, our Ye family would have perished long ago."
Ye Niang’s beautiful eyes sparkled, staring at Ye Chen. She clearly didn’t believe his perfunctory words.
Ye Chen sneered slightly, "The destiny I speak of is not the Daoist Palace; the Palace is nothing of true destiny."
"In my hometown Huaxia, there is a saying: Man can conquer nature!"
"Haha, I knew Brother Ye Chen is someone with great ambition. I hope both brothers will take care of your little sister in the ancestor worship three days from now," Ye Niang lightly smirked, eyes bright and charming.
"Not to mention that Lady Ni Chang’s master is Elder Xueqing, an individual with Ninth Layer Heaven in the Chaos Realm strength. Given such celestial beauty, there are probably countless protectors within the family, do you need us for protection?" Ye Chen said with a mock smile.
"The more the better," Ye Niang laughed playfully.
...
The conversation did not last long. After a while, Ye Niang bid farewell to the two, turning to leave the top floor of the Linglong Tower.
Watching her departing direction, a hint of doubt appeared in Ye Chen’s eyes.
Up to now, Ye Niang’s behavior showed no flaws, nor could Ye Chen fathom the intentions of her and Ye Xueqing, her master.
But instinct told Ye Chen that this Ye Niang was definitely not as simple as she appeared on the surface.
"During the ancestor worship in three days, we must keep a close eye on these Ye family members," Ye Chen quietly informed Ye Lingtian.
"Is the Hall Master worried?"
"Better be safe than sorry. I barely exerted myself to blend in, and even became one of the core disciples participating in the ancestor worship. If someone is intent on scheming, no one knows what might happen by then." Ye Chen sighed.
But soon, his gaze turned resolute, and his words brimmed with battle intent and killing aura: "So be it, let’s take this opportunity to eliminate these evil spirits once and for all. When the time comes, it will be smoother for you to take over the Ye family."
Upon returning to his residence, Ye Lingtian handed over the Blood Essence Sealing God Pearl to Ye Chen. Ye Chen did not refuse and accepted it temporarily.
This object might indeed be useful to him.
However, Ye Chen was somewhat worried about Tu Lanxin’s whereabouts at the moment.
He wondered if the people of Elder Yong Sect had delivered the message to the Divine Alliance.
The collusion between the Wanfa Sect and the devil is no small issue for the Seven Divine Countries.
Hopefully, the Divine Alliance has taken action by now.
Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
...
Meanwhile, in the First Divine Country, within the Divine Alliance.
In the grand hall, two men sat facing each other, expressions serious.
One, sage-like with white hair and youthful features, wearing black and white robes, was the Divine Alliance Leader, Ge Shan!
The other, strong aura, dressed in a Daoist robe, was Tian Feiming of the Wanfa Sect!
Not far from them stood a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man had no aura of cultivation, and his gaze was extremely calm.
He strangely glanced at the two and asked, "Which of you is the Divine Alliance Leader?"
Ge Shan spoke, "I am."
"I heard you have important information to provide?"
"About Ye Chen?"
The middle-aged man nodded and cautiously handed over the Engraving Stone in his hand: "This stone records some of Mister Ye’s words."
"Concerning the devil and Wan..."
Before he could finish, the middle-aged man’s pupils shrank because, at that instant, he sensed a killing intent from the man beside Ge Shan.
