A chill shot through Ye Cangqian, and his heart grew cold. "No, I wouldn’t dare. It’s just... this Ye Tianling is rely a native from so backwater place. Even if he has so fortuitous encounters and hidden trump cards, he can’t possibly stand against Blood Killing Heaven, can he?"
Although Ye Cangqian’s heart trembled and his sense of crisis was about to explode, he still insisted on his point.
The crimson figure said indifferently, "We have already investigated his true origins. The power behind him is enough to crush Blood Killing Heaven. The one who undertook the previous mission was a Candidate Saintess from my Blood Killing Heaven who had never failed. But this ti, she returned injured, having gained absolutely nothing!
"A loss like this can no longer be compensated by a re branch from the Celestial Dragon Ancestral Tree. If he had no background, he would be dead for sure, even at the Sword Tribulation Ninth Refining Realm. But with a powerful background, it’s a completely different story. As compensation, and out of consideration for Duan Qianji, this ssenger will give you one piece of advice—beco a true Candidate Saint Child, or even a Saint Child, as soon as possible!
"Otherwise, given the enmity between you and him, you won’t live more than a year...
"I have said all I have to say. We will not et again."
With that, the crimson figure dissolved into a streak of bloody light, vanished into the ancient gate, and disappeared completely.
After this incident, the Runes on the crimson skull Token began to burn once more.
But this ti, as it burned, a multitude of spiderweb-like cracks spread across the Token’s surface.
Soon after, the Token exploded, turning to dust.
The rippling Energy in the void gradually dissipated, fading into complete Annihilation.
"ARGH—"
Ye Cangqian suddenly let out a furious roar.
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH—
He brandished his Treasure Sword, unleashing the peerless might of his Fiery Fla Sword Body. He gathered his Fiery Fla Sword Spirit and began slashing madly at the empty air.
The entire Thousand Tribulations Sword Peak was rocked by continuous explosions and deafening rumbles.
HUM—
Suddenly, a beam of tribulation light manifested. From within it, the figure of Duan Qianji erged.
"What do you think you’re doing, you damn fool!" Duan Qianji bellowed.
Ye Cangqian shuddered, and his mind cleared slightly.
Imdiately after, his expression turned exceptionally cold and grim.
"Master, I... I cannot accept this! That little bastard..."
Before Ye Cangqian could finish, Duan Qianji cut him off.
"Say no more. I already know the gist of it. I’ve co this ti to discuss two very important matters with you."
Duan Qianji’s voice was grave.
"Master..."
A look of shock finally appeared on Ye Cangqian’s face, mixed with a hint of bewildered uncertainty.
"The first matter: Ouyang Ruoxue has been confird as the next-generation Saintess to be grood at the core of the Returning Butterfly Sacred Land. You have a good relationship with her. Use every ans at your disposal to get even closer!"
Duan Qianji’s expression was stern, his tone incredibly solemn.
"Yes, Master."
Ye Cangqian trembled and imdiately agreed.
This news was enough to make him shiver with uncontrollable excitent.
Duan Qianji continued, "The second matter: Blood Killing Heaven has canceled the assassination of Ye Tianling. This ans they’ve likely discovered the origins of him and his father, Ye Fengyang! And I fear those origins are far from simple. At this point, what’s done is done. We must eliminate any future trouble!
"This ti, changes within the Celestial Dragon Sword Tomb have allowed to return, but I must leave again soon. The situation in the Sword Tomb is far too unpredictable this ti. More people will be entering, and the opportunities within are heaven-defying—rumor has it that a Life Soul Spring and the Elental Magnetic Aurora might appear. Because of this, I cannot focus my attention on dealing with Ye Fengyang and his son. The rest will be up to you.
"If Blood Killing Heaven won’t make a move, then you find a way. Do it by any ans necessary, as long as it solves the problem once and for all!
"It doesn’t matter what their origins are. Once they’re dead, they’re worthless. And with my Ability and resources, keeping you safe will be more than enough!"
When speaking of the second matter, Duan Qianji’s tone grew even heavier.
Ye Cangqian’s heart and soul trembled, and a sinking feeling washed over him.
That sense of unease instantly reached its peak.
’This Ye Tianling... He truly has so kind of backing. We’ve failed to kill him ti and ti again. This pattern...’
Ye Cangqian’s expression turned ugly. Deep in his heart, an indescribable fear began to sprout.
Ye Cangqian’s thoughts turned to Yun Zhiruo, which then led him to think of Ye Yuei and Ye Yueling.
Finally, considering certain changes he’d observed in Ye Yueling and Ouyang Ruoxue, his eyes filled with suspicion and uncertainty.
"What? Scared already?"
Duan Qianji’s face turned cold, his eyes showing clear disappointnt.
Then, his gaze beca particularly disdainful and mocking, as if he was extrely let down by Ye Cangqian’s performance.
"I... I just have a vague, bad feeling about so things."
Ye Cangqian’s face paled slightly. Being looked down upon by his Master, Duan Qianji, was definitely not good news for him.
"Oh? So you think that just because we’ve failed to kill that father-son duo a few tis, they must have so heaven-sent opportunity?" Duan Qianji sneered.
The corner of Ye Cangqian’s mouth twitched, but ultimately, he decided against ntioning how Ye Yueling’s Talent had erupted after she was violated by Ye Tianling.
"I... just have an instinctual sense of unease, but I have never known fear. If I had, why would I have gone to the trouble of comprehending Ye Fengyang’s Essence Blood to seize his Talent?"
Ye Cangqian took a deep breath, reined in his various emotions, and adopted a calm and steady deanor as he responded earnestly.
"Hmph. Unease is understandable; I feel it myself. But to lose control of your Emotions so easily... that is why you can only be called a ’Celestial Emperor’ and are not yet worthy of the title ’Saint Child.’ And even a Saint Child like Long Tianxiao, a man who was close to becoming a Divine Child, was still slain by Long Tianyu.
"Therefore, no peerless genius, no matter how heaven-defying their opportunities, is truly unkillable! If they can’t be killed, it just ans the thod is wrong.
"Is that Ye Tianling so tough? Take my Spiritual Artifact—the Thousand Tribulation Sword. It has three streams of Seven-Star Sword Tribulation Power sealed within it.
"Three full streams of that power. It should be more than enough to strike him dead. If you want more insurance, take a few Slaughter Prohibition Talismans and Great Prohibition Talismans with you as well."
As Duan Qianji spoke, he waved his hand, and a pale gold Qiankun Ring flew toward Ye Cangqian.
Ye Cangqian imdiately bowed and received it respectfully.
"Alright, that is all. I am leaving for the Celestial Dragon Sword Tomb. I will be gone for a long Ti. Inside the Qiankun Ring, I have left you so Top Grade Elixirs. I have also left behind that inscrutable drop of Ye Fengyang’s Essence Blood and the four partial scrolls of the Bloodthirsty Soul Refining Technique. Study them well!
"If you can shatter the final shackle on your bloodline and step into the Void Realm, then the thirty-second Saint Child position in the Cyan Moon Sacred Land will be yours for the taking!"
When Duan Qianji saw that Ye Cangqian had imdiately corrected his attitude, his presence and confidence fully restored, a look of appreciation appeared in his eyes.
His tone softened considerably as he spoke.
