Chapter 2940 - 2914: Who Dares!
Chapter 2940: Chapter 2914: Who Dares!
Seeing the two remain unresponsive, the person in the shadows couldn’t help but remind them, "Will you continue to delay? Once he completes the ceremony to receive the gift, he will be even stronger and harder to deal with."
Ye Tanzhu and Ye Sheng exchanged a glance, secretly nodding.
Immediately, Ye Tanzhu was the first to stand out, "Everyone, we cannot let him alone receive that Chief’s gift!"
The dozen or so other disciples present all looked at Ye Tanzhu, some were perplexed, others surprised, as they had likely guessed Ye Tanzhu’s intent.𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
Before anyone could step forward to refute, Ye Sheng also called out with raised arms, "Exactly, everyone, under the leadership of the three ancestors, how much sacrifice and effort have we made all these years?
Why should the benefits fall to someone who ascended from a low-level martial plane and contributed nothing to the Ye family?"
"But... he did pass the inheritance ceremony, after all," a disciple said hesitantly.
"That’s the responsibility he should bear as someone with the Ye bloodline!" Ye Sheng said with a stern face, "All Ye family members have a duty to do their utmost to pass the inheritance ceremony and unlock the seal of the Reincarnation Star Stone. That’s not a merit, it’s a basic duty!"
"Indeed, our various branches, over tens of thousands of years in the Divine Kingdom, have sacrificed countless seniors to get to today. All gifts from the Heavenly Stone should be distributed within the Ye family, not let an outsider with no merit take the largest share!"
At this point, Ye Tanzhu deliberately glanced at Ye Chen, who was meditating not far away to regulate his body, insinuating, "Don’t forget how Ye Lingtian addressed Ye Chen just now, and this is the ancestral land of the Ye family, how did those two men in black get in?
Before this, during countless ancestral rites, no non-Ye family person had ever set foot on this ancestral ground!"
Within the Ye family ancestral land, once the seal on the Reincarnation Star Stone was lifted, the names of countless Ye family seniors who had sacrificed appeared on the Heavenly Stone.
Ye Zhenghun, Ye Chengfeng, Ye Xiangyu, Ye Zhi Dao, Ye Taichu...
Every name held the insights into the techniques left by the Ye family’s geniuses of the past, and to know that reaching here requires being at least an outstanding early-stage Chaos realm disciple.
Through countless ancestral rites, they couldn’t pass the inheritance ceremony, and died in the trials of the sealing array, but that didn’t mean they weren’t excellent.
It was solely because the requirements set by the Ye Family Ancestor were too strict.
After all, since the matter was of great consequence, unless an absolutely exceptional descendant appeared, this Supreme Treasure would be better sealed within the ancestral land.
The insights into techniques left by tens of thousands of outstanding forebearers, at this moment, with the seal of the Reincarnation Star Stone lifted, became the nourishment gifted to the Ye family. The first to benefit would be Ye Lingtian.
As the one who passed the inheritance ceremony, Ye Lingtian first gained the automatic recognition of the Blood Essence Sealing God Pearl as its master, taking this ancient artifact into his possession. Now he was receiving the blessing of the Heavenly Dao rules left by the Ye family’s forebearers, and once complete, his level of cultivation would surely improve.
In such a situation, how could Ye Tanzhu and Ye Sheng stand idly by?
Perhaps, if Ye Chen were not injured and in peak condition, they might have had more difficulty deciding.
Because after all, Ye Tanzhu had once been defeated at Ye Chen’s hands, and if they acted rashly, with Ye Chen there to shield them, they couldn’t guarantee success.
But now Ye Chen was injured, constantly sitting cross-legged on the ground for healing, his breath slightly chaotic, clearly not in good shape.
Instigated by the scheming individuals, the two decided to act, not only taking action themselves but also leading the dozen or so Ye family disciples to take action together, so even if the elders of the Ye family pursued the matter, they would have the defense of ’the law does not punish the masses.’
"I suspect that Ye Lingtian and Ye Chen are colluding with outsiders, plotting against the Ye family’s Supreme Treasure, and this is a very serious matter, so we cannot let Ye Lingtian continue to receive the gift from the Heavenly Stone!"
Ye Sheng finished speaking and quickly arranged personnel, due to awe of Ye Lingtian’s power, they dared not be careless, so they decided to strike simultaneously, directly ambushing Ye Lingtian, suppressing him first.
"Are we really going to act?" Among the nineteen disciples who survived, not everyone was willing to follow Ye Sheng and Ye Tanzhu’s intent, some hesitated, secretly communicating with close companions.
"We are insignificant, and they are from the most powerful branches of the Ye family, sigh..."
"But no matter what, if not for Ye Chen buying us time outside just now, who knows if the seal of the Heavenly Stone could have been lifted, this betrayal after crossing the river is too despicable."
By the Reincarnation Star Stone, Ye Lingtian was entirely enveloped by the power of the Heavenly Dao, like a cocoon closely attached to this Supreme Treasure, and the aura within the cocoon was growing ever stronger.
Faced with this situation, Ye Sheng and the others naturally didn’t want to delay further, following the instructions, the duo intended to forcibly separate Ye Lingtian and the Reincarnation Star Stone, or if not feasible, outright kill.
"Act now!"
"Who dares!"
Two completely opposite shouts resounded, everyone looked at each other, only to see that Ye Chen, who was previously sitting cross-legged on the ground regulating his body and restoring divinity, had somehow stood up unknowingly.
Though his complexion was still somewhat pale, he had already recovered a bit.
Ye Sheng’s gaze turned cold, staring at Ye Chen, saying, "When is it your turn to speak here? Don’t forget, you yourself are also a suspect in our eyes."
"Suspect me?" Ye Chen couldn’t help but chuckle, a smile on his face, "Then I would like to ask, as you said, I conspired with outsiders with ill intentions, what exactly have I conspired for until now?
And where are the outsiders I’ve colluded with?
Don’t say it’s those two dead people on the ground, if they were the ones I colluded with, then they shouldn’t be lying dead now."
With those words, Ye Chen left Ye Sheng at a loss, especially with his mocking tone, causing Ye Sheng’s face to flush red, stiffly retorting after a long pause, "No one can rule out whether this is a ruse!"
"Hahaha..." Ye Chen laughed heartily.
"What are you laughing at?!" Ye Sheng, infuriated, asked.
"Indeed, you’re right, it is a ruse!" Ye Chen nodded repeatedly, "Isn’t this precisely a ruse? Two heavenly god-level experts came specifically to perform a ruse with me, you’ve guessed it all right, as expected of the most outstanding disciple of the Ye family."
Ye Chen made sure to emphasize "the most outstanding disciple" with full sarcasm.
Hearing the words "heavenly god-level," everyone’s pupils suddenly contracted!
Ye Chen had killed two heavenly god-level experts? What a joke!
From ancient times, Disaster Slaying realm could never shake the Heavenly God Realm!
