The Marquis was set to marry not the Saintess of the Demon Sect, but the daughter of the State Preceptor of the Upper Sun Palace; who knew how many eyes were watching him now? At such a ti, he naturally couldn’t bring an illegitimate child back ho. So, you see, it was easier to just make wait another ten years."
Ye Shu slowly exhaled, even as the deepest wounds were torn open by his own hands, blood gushing out, his emotions still didn’t fluctuate much, "You always say Lin Qingyuan treated extrely well, almost like the son of his wife, but do you know? Because of you, he made wait another ten years."
Hearing this bizarre, twist-filled tale, Xun Guan and the others gaped in astonishnt, their worldviews shattered, and while they were utterly shocked, they also felt revulsion towards Ye Shu’s despicable acts of clinging to life, and were just about to curse him out loud.
At this mont, Yin Baishuang spoke up, "Injured deeply by the very thing you’ve yearned for your entire life, yet you withhold your vengeance until today; isn’t that a bit too cowardly? If I were you, upon learning the truth that day, I would have slaughtered the entire Marquis Mansion.
If I couldn’t beat them, then I would secretly poison them to death. Considering Lin Qingyuan’s heartless appearance, he surely wouldn’t have expected his own son to guard against him, right?"
Her cold tone revealed no anger, but the seriousness in her deanor made it seem as if she would really proceed as she described, were she in that situation.
Xun Guan felt a chill and suddenly kept quiet, not daring to make a peep.
Ye Shu, taken aback by her words, looked stunned and a bit foolish.
He had never expected that even in such a situation, soone would openly stand by his side, implicitly supporting such a heinous act.
For a mont he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, "Thank you for your guidance, Miss. It’s just a pity that Lin Qingyuan didn’t live to see the day I ca to the realization that I should poison him... truly a pity."
Yin Baishuang remarked, "No matter, he left a son behind for you to kill, so it’s not too regrettable."
Ye Shu’s face brightened with a hint of a smile, "I heard that back in the day when the Taiyuan Ghost Sect injured your beloved, Miss, in a fit of rage, you slaughtered their entire clan. Such a bold and decisive nature is indeed sothing Ye Shu greatly admires and yearns for."
"Hey, hey..." Baili An interrupted with an uneasy laughter, "Miss Yin, whose side are you actually on?"
"Right, Miss Yin, you need to take it easy, don’t just sympathize because you feel sorry for his background."
Xun Guan also scread in panic, terrified that the capricious beauty might recklessly side with that little demon at this mont, which would indeed lead them down a path with no return.
Yin Baishuang crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow, responding, "While seeking revenge on the Lin Family is comndable, including in your sche was indeed as foolish as courting death."
Ye Shu waved his hand, "Although I like both Miss Yin and Si Chen very much, I’m truly sorry, but today, I really can’t let you two leave here alive."
Enough chit-chat; it was clear that Ye Shu ant business. He turned to the skeletal remains behind him and said, "Uncle, I’ve done what had to be done; the rest is up to you now."
Two clusters of Ghost Fire ignited within the skeleton’s eyes, "Rest assured, today, none of them shall leave."
Feng Ju released Ye Shu and with a simultaneous push of both palms, the two towering Divine Pillars in the sea of flowers collapsed thunderously. From the darkness, it seed as though Fierce Ghosts were crawling out, and a thick, bloody scent rose from the wilderness, swiftly enveloping everyone.
A great wind arose from the depths of the underground palace, as if echoing a strange chant or an ancient curse from an unknown Abyss; it was as though the spirits of the abyss were chanting in low tones, and ancient ghosts were wailing through eternity.
The pillars, once pushed over, were soon engulfed and covered by the vines and weeds of the ground, as if bones turned into water, spilling crazily among the grass.
No one for myriads of miles would collect these bones; each ho below the city walls performing Soul Summoning burials!
Under Feng Ju’s Summoning, an army of white bones rose from the vast fields, and in an instant, they surged towards the living, ready to Devour them.
"Had they not consud the breath and Essence Blood of the living, it would have been difficult to summon so many of our kindred. Indeed, starved for so many years, just a hint of the scent of blood drives them to mad killing; even I find it terrifying to watch."
While Feng Ju voiced fear, he let out a satisfied laugh, affectionately touching Ye Shu’s hair, as he tenderly said, "Good child, the Dragon Ball is seventy miles southwest, in the thirteenth palace, at the Watchtower position. Go quickly and retrieve it, consu it to awaken the power of your spirit key, and open the Black Crystal Gate, one of the Nine Gates. The prosperity of our clan depends solely on you now."
Victory was within sight, yet no excitent could be seen on Ye Shu’s face. Looking at Feng Ju’s eerie skeletal visage, he lowered his eyes and softly asked, "Uncle, where is my mother’s skull?"
Feng Ju hesitated, then said, "Good child, go retrieve the Dragon Ball first. Once uncle deals with these human Cultivators, I’ll personally take you to et your mother, alright?"
Ye Shu’s gaze flickered slightly, as if he had sothing to say, but he held back, nodding, "I shall not fail uncle."
Just then, Lin Zheng, under attack by a group of yin corpses and white bones, suddenly roared aloud, "Ye Shu! Ye Shu! Ye Shu!!!"
With things having co this far, it seed he wasn’t sure what else he could possibly say to him, and could only aninglessly shout his na, hoping he would turn back.
Ye Shu didn’t turn back. As he summoned his new sword and rode it away, he said indifferently with his back to Lin Zheng, "Actually, you misunderstood; the White Mountain Sword was originally my mother’s legacy, not given by Lin Qingyuan. From beginning to end, he never bestowed a sword upon ."
Lin Zheng’s eyes reddened, his shouts turning frantic, "I didn’t know it was your mother’s legacy left to you! Had I known, I would have... I would have never destroyed it! I didn’t know! I really didn’t know! Ye Shu!"
Please turn back...
"Ye Shu!"
I’m sorry...
For two hundred years, they had grown up together. Whenever he faced danger, even without Lin Zheng having to call out his na, Ye Shu would always appear first to protect him, like an elder brother would.
But today.
No one could protect him anymore...
