【Chapter 128】Uncovering the Conspiracy
【Chapter 128】Uncovering the Conspiracy
In an instant, beads of sweat appeared on Ye Chenyuan's forehead.
Of course, the same goes for Ye Yishen, but he is wearing a mask so ordinary people can't see it.
In the past, Ye Yishen always wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with Nangong Chenyu and his cultivation could not be left behind by Nangong Chenyu. But now, Ye Yisheng felt a strong desire for power in his heart. He didn't want to face a powerful enemy again like he was now.
Just when the grandfather and grandson were about to kneel down due to the pressure, a deep voice sounded: "My Ye family has always acted uprightly, so we won't mind."
Following this voice, Ye Yishen and Ye Chenyuan both felt their bodies lighten, and the pressure on their bodies was swept away.
Suddenly, a white-haired old man in a gray robe appeared in front of them.
Although the white-haired old man restrained his aura, Ye Yisheng could still feel his power. As soon as he appeared, the ancestor of the Qi family took two steps back. Obviously, his cultivation is higher than that of the Qi family's ancestor.
The white-haired old man is the oldest living ancestor of the Ye family.
The ancestor of the Qi family was shocked. He didn't expect that after not seeing him for decades, Old Monster Ye's cultivation level had surpassed his.
The ancestor of the Ye family acted like a master, with his hands behind his back, and glanced at the ancestor of the Qi family indifferently. His words were bright and upright, obviously mocking the Qi family's ancestor as a sinister villain who secretly exerted pressure on the two juniors.
"That's good."
The ancestor of the Qi family felt uneasy and didn't dare to say anything sarcastic.
In the world of cultivation, there is an unwritten rule that one should not attack ordinary people or juniors.
A disciple of the Qi family placed an empty table in the center of the arena, and four elders from the Tianyi Sect and Taihua Sect appeared out of thin air next to the table.
Ye Chenyuan took out a blood stone: "This is the blood stone that my Ye family uses to test blood."
The Ye family's bloodline stone was originally placed in the family's ancestral hall.
Last night, Ye Mingpei listened to his daughter and went to the ancestral hall to secretly take the bloodline stone away. He originally wanted to return it after testing Ye Yishen's bloodline, but he didn't expect that he would need it today.
Just now when he heard the patriarch asking someone to go back and get the Bloodline Stone, he immediately took the initiative to hand over the Bloodline Stone.
This is the scene where Ye Chenyuan took out the blood stone.
However, when the ancestor of the Qi family saw that Ye Chenyuan actually carried the Blood Stone with him, he became suspicious and felt that there must be something fishy about this Blood Stone.
Maybe his reaction today was what the Ye family expected, and they just took this opportunity to prove that Ye Yishen is a member of the Ye family.
In this way, in the end Ye Yisheng won first place for the Ye family, and no one dared to say anything.
The ancestor of the Qi family thought about it and felt that he had figured out the truth.
"Since we want to prove that Ye Yisheng is a member of your Ye family, we naturally cannot use your Ye family's things. Who knows if your Ye family has done anything to the Bloodline Stone?"
His words were recognized by most people.
The heads of the Yu and Lu families both suggested taking a new blood stone for testing.
The four elders of Tianyi Sect and Taihua Sect remained silent, and they obviously agreed with the proposal of the ancestor of the Qi family.
The ancestor of the Ye family chuckled, stretched out his hand and sucked, and the blood stone on the table flew into his hand. He threw the blood stone back to Ye Chenyuan.
"Since we can't use the blood stone of my Ye family, I'll have to trouble Brother Qi to get a new blood stone."
Although the Bloodline Stone is not a rare item, one piece requires 100,000 low-grade spirit stones. Back then, the Ye family spent ten pieces to refine the blood stone before they succeeded.
"No problem. My Qi family shop happens to have bloodline stones for sale." The Qi family ancestor looked towards the audience and said, "Master, have someone go to the shop and get a bloodline stone."
"Okay, ancestor."
The head of the Qi family went there in person.
In less than two minutes he was back.
Flying down onto the stage, he handed the Bloodline Stone and a bill to his ancestor: "Ancestor, this is the Bloodline Stone and the bill."
"What are you doing to me? I don't need it." The ancestor of the Qi family did not respond and gave the head of the Qi family a look.
The head of the Qi family understood what he meant, put the blood stone on the table, and handed the bill to Ye Chenyuan: "Brother Ye, one hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones."
Ye Chenyuan turned to look at his ancestor: "Ancestor, what do you think?"
Giving Ye Chenyuan a look that reminded him to stay calm, Old Ancestor Ye moved his fingers slightly and the bill fell into his hand. He crushed the bill into powder.
Looking at the Qi family ancestor: "Old Qi, you did this today, aren't you just trying to get my Ye family to pay 100,000 low-grade spirit stones to buy a bloodline stone?"
The Ye family could certainly come up with a hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones, but why should they be made the scapegoat?
The Qi family ancestor was not annoyed: "In order to prove the identity of your Ye family's descendants, shouldn't your Ye family provide the spiritual stones needed for the blood stone?"
Patriarch Ye glanced at Ye Yisheng and said, "I can prove that he is a member of my Ye family without the blood stone."
After a little thought, the ancestor of the Qi family knew what Ye Laoguai was planning, which was nothing more than to make Ye Yisheng swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao. Naturally, he would not do as Old Monster Ye wished. Not to mention that there were loopholes in his oath to heaven, he was just afraid that Ye Yisheng was really a member of the Ye family.
But it’s different when using blood stone for testing.
He immediately interrupted Old Monster Ye before he finished speaking: "You both have the same surname, Ye. Ten thousand years ago, maybe you really had the same ancestor."
These words directly put an end to the idea of Old Monster Ye to make Ye Yi swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao.
As a person in the situation, Ye Yisheng, who seems to be an outsider, has a thorough understanding of the whole matter. The current situation seems to be just the Qi family's ancestor questioning his identity, but in fact it is the four major families competing for resources.
It's easy to tell that there's something wrong with the blood stone on the table. The Qi family not only wanted the Ye family to pay 100,000 low-grade spirit stones to buy the bloodline stone, but also wanted to prove that he was not a member of the Ye family and confirm that the Ye family had violated the rules.
The Lu and Yu families were happy to see this happen.
The four elders of Tianyi Sect and Taihua Sect are not saints. They have not gained any benefit from the Ye family and will not favor the Ye family. On the contrary, as long as they don't speak for the Ye family and turn a blind eye, the other three families may even give them benefits afterwards.
Right now the Ye family is isolated and helpless.
To break the impasse, the Ye family must have a top master, or a force that can suppress the Tianyi Sect and Taihua Sect to join.
Ye Yishen used his business acumen and instantly thought of a response strategy.
He walked to the side of the Ye Patriarch and looked at the Qi Patriarch: "Logically speaking, I am a member of the Ye family, so there is no need to prove my identity. But you Qi family can't afford to lose, so you say I'm not a member of the Ye family. You question my identity and force me to prove it."
"I am just a humble foundation-building person, and my words do not count. I know I have no right to object, and I am willing to cooperate with you in testing my bloodline."
"But senior, since you are questioning my identity, shouldn't the blood stone used to test my bloodline be provided by your Qi family?"
There was nothing wrong with what he said at first, but the ancestor of the Qi family just felt uncomfortable. He was too disdainful to haggle with a junior in the Foundation Establishment Stage, so he simply turned his head to the side and signaled the head of the Qi family to come on.
Seeing that the Ye family would not offer 100,000 low-grade spirit stones, the head of the Qi family only felt regretful in his heart, and then said: "My Qi family is not the kind of people who are ruthless. Since the Ye family cannot offer 100,000 low-grade spirit stones, the bloodline stones will be regarded as my Qi family's contribution to the competition."
An elder of Tianyi Sect spoke up at the right time: "If there are no other questions, then let's start the test!"
Ye Yisheng: "Seniors, won't you check the blood stone?"
The Qi family ancestor snorted coldly: "My Qi family disdains to tamper with the blood stone."
He turned around and changed his expression, and said to the four elders of Tianyi Sect and Taihua Sect in a flattering tone: "I'd like to trouble you to help check if there is any problem with the blood stone."
The four of them started checking immediately.
After the last elder finished checking, he handed the bloodline stone to the Ye family ancestor: "Take a look at it too."
As a result, there was naturally no problem with the blood stone.
"Let's get started!" An elder looked at the Ye family ancestor and Ye Chenyuan: "Who of you two will come?"
There was obviously nothing wrong with the blood stone, but the Ye family patriarch had a bad feeling. But the current situation does not allow them to retreat.
Just as Ye Yisheng was about to speak, a magnetic male voice sounded from below the ring.
"Wait a moment."
Everyone looked at the person who spoke.
The man was wearing a white robe, the hem of which fluttered in the wind, his ink-black hair danced in the wind, and he had a faint smile on his handsome face, looking like a modest gentleman.
Facing the scrutiny of several powerful men, he remained calm and composed.
"Are you a disciple of Yunjue Palace?" asked the seventh elder of Taihua Sect with a goatee uncertainly.
"Exactly."
Nangong Chenyu walked onto the stage with light steps.
"Greetings to the seniors. I am Nangong Chenyu, and this is my identity jade card." As he spoke, Nangong Chenyu took out the jade card that identified him as a disciple of the Yunjue Palace and waved it in front of several people one by one.
The Seventh Elder was very enthusiastic: "Young friend Nangong, I didn't expect it was really you."
"Senior, do you know me?" Nangong Chenyu didn't remember having seen this person before yesterday.
Seventh Elder: "I had the honor of attending your eldest brother's marriage ceremony."
There were too many people that day, and most of them had higher cultivation levels than Nangong Chenyu. It was impossible for him to look at them one by one, so he just quickly glanced at the leaders of each sect.
Although he didn't remember the person in front of him, Nangong Chenyu acted as if he had suddenly realized something.
"So it's you, Senior."
An elder from the Tianyi Sect interrupted their conversation and asked, "What's the matter, young friend Nangong?"
Nangong Chenyu pointed at the blood stone on the table and said, "Can I see this blood stone?"
Without waiting for anyone else to answer, the Seventh Elder said, "Of course."
He handed the blood stone directly to Nangong Chenyu.
Others: “…”
Nangong Chenyu put the blood stone under his nose and smelled it, and he had an idea in his mind. He placed the Blood Stone in front of the Qi Family's ancestor and the Qi Family Master: "Thank you, Qi Family Master and senior, for dropping a drop of blood on the Blood Stone."
The face of the head of the Qi family turned pale.
The Qi family ancestor's expression was very ugly: "What do you mean, young friend?"
Nangong Chenyu said slowly, "This blood stone has been soaked in the potion of the foul grass. Not to mention the blood of a relative, even if the blood of a father and son is dripped on this blood stone, the blood stone will not react at all."
If Nangong Chenyu hadn't seen the Qi family ancestor's hands clenched into fists under his sleeves, he would have thought that he was unaware of the situation.
