The result is already clear: this man in blue is very likely an Immortal Emperor. Therefore, his teleportation array cannot detect him, nor can the two guardian elders on the lake.
"My lord," Ku Zhen suddenly knelt down, "I was blind and did not recognize your greatness. I have offended your junior by accident. I am filled with remorse and will never do such a thing again."
"I have two Soul-Replenishing Pills here. Give them to the Divine Child and Divine Maiden to eliminate the secret medicine in the Immortal Herb."
After saying that, Ku Zhen respectfully took out two Soul-Replenishing Pills and placed them in front of him, waiting for Ye Lingtian to come and take them.
Ye Lingtian, however, didn't even glance at such a thing. With a wave of his hand, Ku Zhen was pressed down by a terrifying force, completely unable to move.
His two antlers had been cut off so that they were completely unrecognizable.
Fresh blood gushed from the wound.
"Ah, my antlers!"
When the antlers were completely severed, Ku Zhen let out a shrill scream. The antlers of the Nine Nether Divine Deer had become one with him, a part of his body. Anyone would cry out in pain.
"I asked you which faction you belong to? What are you doing bringing out two broken pills?"
Ye Lingtian's voice, authoritative even without anger, rang out.
Ku Zhen was so frightened that he dared not speak loudly, and said in a trembling voice.
"My lord, I am sorry, I deserve to die. I am the third elder of the Shadow Clan. This time, I was ordered by the Shadow Clan's patriarch to extract the bloodline power of the divine son and daughter."
Ye Lingtian shook his head, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.
"Aren't you the Third Elder of the Harmony Temple? How did you become the Third Elder of the Shadow Clan?"
Ku Zhen was startled. This guy clearly knew his identity, so why did he have to ask him the unnecessary question?
Is this guy trying to mess with me?
Ye Lingtian saw through his thoughts.
He walked up to Ku Zhen and said calmly, "Of course I'm not playing a trick on you. It's just that after asking you, I'll feel more at ease when I go to destroy the Temple of Harmony."
"It's not to the point of feeling like we're indiscriminately killing innocent people."
Upon hearing this, Ku Zhen was completely convinced that the person in front of him possessed the strength of an Immortal Emperor. Damn Heavenly Dao, is it really that lax in its control over planes?
“My lord, I am indeed a member of the Temple of Harmony, but the people within the temple do not tolerate me. They just said that I am a member of the Shadow Clan.”
Ye Lingtian laughed heartily.
"A mere Grand Luo Golden Immortal, still pretending to be deaf and dumb in front of me, is that it?"
"Do you think I, the Emperor, don't know what this teleportation formation and this soul-summoning flag are for?"
Ku Zhen never expected that this powerful figure could even correctly describe his own formation and the Soul-Summoning Flag.
Who is this person?
He just mentioned that the divine son and daughter are his descendants. Could this person be the immortal ancestor of the Ye family?
Upon realizing this, Ku Zhen felt that his chances of survival were slim, so he took out all the treasures he had collected from the Qiankun bag at his waist.
As the infamous Third Elder of the Harmony Temple, Ku Zhen's collection was undeniably rich, including immortal artifacts, elixirs, and even immortal tea.
The immortal tea here is certainly not the body-shattering tea given to Yuwen Fang before, but the genuine immortal tea, the kind that can nourish the spirit and strengthen the body.
“My lord, these are all things that I, a humble person, have collected over the years. They may be insignificant to you, but they will be a great help to the divine son and daughter, or to other descendants of your Ye family.”
Ye Lingtian glanced at the items and thought that Ku Zhen was right; many of these items would even tempt a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Unfortunately, this foolish fellow did not know that the person standing in front of him was not some immortal emperor, but the Nine Heavens Emperor of the Chaos Realm of the Endless Universe.
Even a single wine cup in his Heavenly Palace is worth more than these odds and ends on the ground.
These things were insignificant to him.
"Heh, you're really determined to live," Ye Lingtian scoffed.
"However, you won't have a chance in this life. Wait for the next life, be reborn into a good family, and don't run into me or any of my Ye family's descendants."
"This is also a good thing I did."
Hearing these familiar words, Ku Zhen was slightly taken aback. Wasn't this what he had said to the goddess before?
At that time, he was full of confidence, believing that this matter would surely succeed and that the power of his bloodline would inevitably be transferred to him.
That's why he said those words to Ye Que and Ye Xiaoyu just now.
Unexpectedly, things turned around, and the cat from before became the mouse. Ku Zhen looked at Ye Lingtian's slowly raised right hand and couldn't help but say, "My lord, I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again. Please!"
Bang.
Before the ugly fellow could finish speaking, Ye Lingtian clenched his right hand, and an invisible wave spread out.
The renowned Elder Kuzhen died in a blood explosion, and the bloodstains on the spot were absorbed by the dense star power around him, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Ye Lingtian suddenly looked at the edge of the formation, smiled faintly, and his right hand's suction power surged, holding an extremely weak soul in his hand.
"You don't really think that my strength is enough to crush your soul, do you?"
"I only destroyed your physical body before to see if your soul would change its mind. Now it seems I'm very disappointed. You actually dared to try to escape."
After she finished speaking, Ku Zhen felt like crying. No matter what she did, this man would see through her.
This sense of powerlessness made him wonder if this person was among the strongest in the immortal realm.
"Ahhh!"
Suddenly, Ye Lingtian pressed his large hand down on Ku Zhen's soul, and Ku Zhen immediately let out a series of wails. He felt as if an iron clamp was clamping his head tightly.
One minute later.
Ye Lingtian tossed the soul object in his hand, expelling Ku Zhen's will and remnant soul, leaving only this incomparably pure soul sphere.
With a ripping sound.
He split the Soul Orb in two.
Holding one in each hand, he approached Ye Que and Ye Xiaoyu and slowly pressed the soul orbs into their crowns.
After a while.
Ye Xiaoyu woke up first. After opening her eyes, she reflexively looked at her older brother Ye Que and found that he was still beside her.
Moreover, he was sleeping soundly, without any injuries, bloodstains, or missing limbs.
She let out a soft breath and looked up to survey her surroundings.
To her surprise, she spotted a figure in a blue robe not far away. The figure was turned away from her, so she couldn't make out any details, but she was absolutely certain that this person was not Ku Zhen.
The latter's evil aura was completely incompatible with the stellar power here.
"Senior, I am Ye Xiaoyu, the goddess of the Star God Temple. I thank you for saving my life."
"Oh?" The figure didn't turn around, but seemed surprised. "How did you know that I was the one who saved you two?"
The figure's voice was rather deep, unlike the ancestor's clear and resonant voice.
