Chapter 854: Hidden Currents
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A few seconds later, the patriarch finally came to his senses and quickly went over to help the old man up. “Elder, how do you feel?”
The old man snorted coldly and shook off the patriarch’s hand.
On the surface, he was a guest elder of the Ye family, but in reality, his status exceeded the patriarch’s.
Even Ye Fudong had to obey him!
The old man struggled to his feet and reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.
His expression was extremely cold. He had not expected his technique to be broken by someone. Just what was that strange beast in the image projection? He tried his best to recall the scene from memory, but he only remembered three figures.
“Fudong, did you see everything clearly in that image projection just now? Was that young man’s appearance clear?”
“His face was too blurry, so I couldn’t tell.” Ye Fudong shook his head.
“Then do you remember what the surrounding environment inside looked like?”
Ye Fudong thought for a few seconds and said, “Elder, it seemed to be an underwater palace that was in ruins. Also, I could feel the presence of the power of lightning.”
The old man narrowed his eyes and muttered, “Underwater ancient palace?” ‘There are too many ancient palace ruins in the Kunlun Mountains, so this information is almost useless. The only clue was the pair of blue and red eyes.” “That figure didn’t look like a human. It was too small, so it had to be some kind of animal or beast. However, I don’t think this kind of animal exists in the Kunlun Mountains…”
He did not think too much about it, and instead quickly took out a piece of paper from his storage ring and drew a picture based on his memory.
It was an unknown shadow with a pair of strange eyes that seemed to deter anyone who met its gaze.
The old man handed the portrait to Ye Fudong and said, “Judging from the situation just now, this little creature is even more terrifying than that young man. The key point is that its red pupil is a little strange, and managed to break my technique. This kind of existence is definitely extraordinary. Your Ye family still has some means in the Kunlun Mountains, so use them.”
Ye Fudong was a little troubled by this.
Elder, the Ye Family has always been in seclusion and interfered with the matters of the Kunlun Mountains. This time, will we be affected if we are exposed in order to find this strange-eyed creature?”
“Hmph!” The old man snorted coldly. “At this point, why do you still care? The Ye family is about to perish, so why are you bothered with petty things?” Hearing this, Ye Fudong’s expression froze. He smiled bitterly and said, “Elder I understand. I’ll give the order now.”
He took a few steps and suddenly thought of something. He stopped and turned to the old man, “Elder, there’s one more thing. Didn’t you ask me to investigate the Ye family’s genealogy some time ago? In the genealogy, there were many people who came into contact with that stone tablet.”
“The remaining survivors are almost all in the Kunlun Mountains, except for one.”
Who? The old man raised his white eyebrows.
Ye Fudong explained, “Back then, there was an ant who overestimated himself and fought with me for the position of patriarch. I chased him out of the Ye family and He was chased out of the Ye family by me, and I used some certain methods to ensure he and his wife died painful deaths. However, that couple had another child in Huaxia, whose name is Ye Tianzheng. Ye Tianzheng secretly married the daughter of a martial arts family in Huaxia and gave birth to another child.”
“I’m not sure if it was intentional, but he named his grandson Ye Chen, which
is against our family’s rules.”
“That name was carved on the stone tablet that descended from the sky back then, and is considered a taboo in our family. The ancestors did not allow any descendants to take this name, but after that person left the Ye family, someone still did it… Do you think they are related to that thing?”
“I have suspected it many times, but the spiritual energy in Huaxia is very thin so even if that old man had that thing, it would be useless. Moreover, that old ’ man already died more than ten years ago.”
“After that, an elder of the Ye family even placed the ashes and memorial tablets of the old man and his wife in the ancestral hall.”
“If you need to investigate it, I’ll send someone to Huaxia to look for Ye Tianzheng.”
Naturally, Ye Fudong did not know that Ye Tianzheng’s family had already come to the Kunlun Mountains. Although he knew that there was a trace of the Ye Family’s bloodline in Huaxia, in his opinion, Ye Tianzheng’s family would not be able to do anything that affected the Kunlun Mountains.
The old man narrowed his eyes when he heard Ye Chen’s name. “We can’t let any possibility pass us by. Since Ye Chen’s name is engraved on the stone tablet, it’s very likely that it was deduced by the heavens.”
“Even though Huaxia doesn’t pose any threat to us, we should still send someone to take a look just to be safe. It’s best if you bring this family here and interrogate them personally. If they had nothing to do with that matter, then you can just kill them!”
Ye Fudong’s eyes flashed with a trace of viciousness. Although he had ruthlessly chased that old fellow out of the family, he had always been unhappy about the final resolution of the matter. If he could wipe out all of the descendants of that old fellow, then that old fellow would probably be so angry that his entire body would tremble in the netherworld.
The husband and wife pair had fought for their entire lives, but they did not expect that in the end, everything they did would still be trampled under his feet!
At the same time, the rubble collapsed.
The water in the Dragon Cleansing Pool gradually disappeared and flowed to the bottom of the pool.
The light around Little Gold’s and the blood dragon’s bodies gradually disappeared as well. All of it entered Ye Chen’s dantian and forehead.
Ye Chen had already broken through to the eighth level of the saint realm, and was on the verge of breaking through once more!
Ye Chen roared angrily. Starlight enveloped his body and the spring water of the Dragon Cleansing Pool disappeared completely!
At this moment, Ye Chen suddenly opened his eyes.
“Ninth level of the saint realm! Breakthrough!”
Ye Chen mobilized all of the energy in his body and charged at the realm barrier!
Rumble!
The entire mountain shook even more violently, and more boulders and debris rolled down the mountain.
The blood dragon’s roar rang out. Its huge body coiled around Ye Chen, shielding him from everything.
Kacha!
A boulder smashed into the blood dragon’s body and turned into powder.
Meanwhile, Ye Chen’s body was crackling with energy.
His body seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation, and there was a trace of a mysterious aura around his body.
“Finally, I’ve broken through and reached the ninth level of the saint realm. Unfortunately, this place is about to be destroyed, or I would’ve broken through to the saint king realm in one fell swoop.”
“The Dragon Cleansing Pool is really a good place. Normally, it would take at least a year for me to break through so many times.”
Ye Chen stood up and lightly punched the air. A wave of energy surged and a huge rock in the distance shattered.
Although he was currently a ninth-level saint realm cultivator, he would be able to handle saint king realm and origin realm cultivators.
As for origin king realm experts, he might be able to put up a fight against early-stage origin king realm experts with the help of his trump cards, and might even be able to seriously injure them.
