Chapter 175 - No One Can Save Him!
“Alright, get up. It’s been… hundreds of years, the Ye Family has flourished to such a large pool of descendants now! You’re Ye Tianlong, right? Hmm, your grasp on the Laws of Heaven and Earth is impressive. I wonder what kind of emergency propelled you to raid the tomb and call me out? Tell me!”
Up until now, no other person could be found except Ye Tianlong and Ye Baihu. But, the coarse sound of Ancestor Ye Ruoshui reverberated in the air, as though he was right beside the two of them.
“Respectful ancestor, please come out and save our young lord!” As straightforward as he was, Ye Tianlong cut to the point and bowed to Ancestor Ye Ruoshui, while imploring him with an earnest expression.
“Give me the reason!” The voice sounded out, but with no amicable feelings attached to it. Rather, he sounded as if he was reproaching Ye Tianlong for interrupting his reclusive cultivation, and raiding the family tomb, simply because of a young lord.
“This young lord isn’t like any of the mediocre ones. Back in the Awakening Ceremony, he managed to summon a holy-grade battle beast after the appearance of a nine-colored halo, and learned a formidable integration technique that attacks others’ souls. Most importantly, at the age of sixteen, he is now in the first level of the Realm of the Marshal already! Not long ago, he participated in the Prefecture War, where his integration technique became even more powerfull. In general, his strength should be… in my calculation, better than any cultivator below the Realm of the Emperor…”
- Shoo! -
While Ye Tianlong was detailing Qinghan’s achievements and talents in proud, the air began to slightly vibrate. Soon afterwards, in front of Ye Tianlong, there appeared a white-clothed middle-aged man. Judging from his skin and outlook, it seemed as if he was only in his late thirties or early forties. Oddly enough, despite his youthful features, his two long eyebrows were silvery white, which dangled down along his face. Also, his pair of deep eyes suggested that he must be a man of old age, at least in spirit.
“We respectfully greet you, Ancestor Ruoshui!” It baffled both Ye Tianlong and Ye Baihu as to how this ancestor looked so young. A man, who was over 500 years old, simply looked much younger than either of them. Although the portrait of Ye Ruoshui was hanging in their Ancestral Hall, and they had had a glimpse of him already, they had never thought that he was this young and full of vigor. However, no other man, other than Ye Ruoshui, who was in the Heaven Immortal Realm, would be able to teleport himself in such a short amount of time.
Their guesses proved to be right, this was Ye Ruoshui, the man that owned a ninth grade White Tiger, and had led the Ye family to occupy Grey City. Now, he was in the Realm of the Heaven Immortal, so far, he was the most powerful man in the Ye family.
“Are you sure that this kid has summoned a holy-grade battle beast? What does this beast look like? And also, tell me something more about his integration technique!” Ye Ruoshui stood their squarely, without releasing any of his Battle Qi; yet, Ye Tianlong and Ye Baihu felt so suppressed by his imposing manner, that they thought that they were facing an insurmountable mountain.
Ye Tianlong took a deep breath to balance his mind, before he responded, “The nine-colored halo is witnessed by all the elders of the family. As for the appearance of that battle beast… hmm, it actually looked like a lion-nosed dog. The difference is, it has a black horn on its head. According to what this young lord told us, this is a Soul-eating battle beast. But, when we checked all the books concerning battle beasts, we found none matching it. Errr… The integration technique, he says it’s called Soul Blackout, which can make anyone below or in the same realm pass out for a short period of time. Now, after the Prefecture War, his integration technique has reached a level where it can attack the souls of a group of enemies, rather than individually. He successfully slaughtered large groups of demons and barbarians within seconds!”
“Hmm, impressive! Where is he then? I’d like to meet him!” Now, Ye Ruoshui’s voice revealed some shock and excitement.
“Respecful Ancestor Ruoshui, it’s all my fault! This young lord killed the son of Yao Xie, in revenge, Yao Xie ambushed us in the Luo Shen Mountain and launched a sneak attack. Now, this young lord ended up being sucked into the Luo Shen Mountain… Although, I believe he can survive temporarily, I’m not sure how long he can sustain inside the mountain, especially inside the slaughter illusion, which is currently three times more powerful than when the Heaven Path opens in five years. That’s why I’ve come to seek your help. Ancestor, please save him!” Ye Tianlong threw himself to the ground, and bowed to Ye Ruoshui, while his face was saturated with a mix of regrets and hope.
“Dumbass! If this little kid dies there, you’ll be the sinner of our Ye Family!”
