A hint of sadness flashed in Ye Xiaoyu's eyes. She had originally thought that it was the ancestor who had come forward to rescue her and her elder brother.
Now it seems that this is probably not the case.
"Reporting to Senior, Xiaoyu observed the surroundings and found no trace of Elder Kuzhen. The array above her head also vanished into thin air."
"The senior has appeared here again with composure. If Xiaoyu still can't guess what's going on, she'll be unworthy of the title of goddess."
"Since you knew she was a goddess! Why did you so hastily believe her!" The figure in the green robe spoke these words in a particularly low voice, then suddenly turned around, a hint of anger on his face.
Upon seeing the figure's face clearly, Ye Xiaoyu exclaimed.
"Ancestor?"
She immediately stood up to hug the ancestor and tell him about how she and her older brother had been bullied by Ku Zhen. But as soon as she stood up, she suddenly remembered that the ancestor had criticized her.
They criticized her for so hastily trusting others; if it weren't for the patriarch's intervention, she and her elder brother would likely have been in grave danger.
Although she felt a protective barrier within her body at the last moment, she couldn't guarantee that this barrier would protect her and her elder brother.
If I can't protect him, then I, as a descendant of the Ye family, will be nothing but a joke.
The Ye family of Daxia were all looking forward to her and Ye Que's triumphant return, after all, the two of them had the pure bloodline of the Heavenly Emperor from their ancestor.
He was personally selected by the patriarch and is the most talented junior in the Ye family.
Tick-tock, tick-tock.
Ye Xiaoyu felt increasingly guilty as she thought about it, and tears involuntarily streamed down her face.
It landed on the lake bottom with a crisp sound, and was then obliterated by the power of the stars.
Once she started crying, she couldn't stop. Large tears fell like broken pearls, and Ye Xiaoyu's entire delicate body trembled. She looked like a tender flower in a storm.
"Little sister, don't cry. This time it's actually my fault."
A large hand suddenly touched Ye Xiaoyu's cheek, gently wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Ye Que may have just woken up, or he may have been awake for a long time.
Otherwise, he would have been just like Ye Xiaoyu, cheering with joy at the arrival of the ancestor.
Since he didn't, it's very likely that he was awake when Ye Xiaoyu woke up, but he was just pretending to be asleep.
The goal was to find out whether the figure in the green robe was friend or foe. If he was a friend, everything would be easy; if he was an enemy, then they would wait for him to get close and then launch a surprise attack.
Whether it works or not, that kind of courage is something he, as the eldest brother, must possess.
When Ye Xiaoyu saw that Ye Que had woken up and was wiping away her tears with his hand, she threw herself into her older brother's arms and burst into tears.
Seeing the brother and sister embracing, Ye Lingtian said helplessly.
“You two are junior members of the Ye family who possess the bloodline of my Heavenly Emperor. It is obvious that you were too hasty in this matter.”
After saying that, Ye Lingtian flashed and appeared in front of the two men, saying calmly, "Sense your bodies."
Seeing that the blame had disappeared from the ancestor's face, the two immediately composed themselves and stopped blaming themselves.
After sensing their internal bodies, the two spoke at the same time a moment later.
"Our soul power?"
Ye Lingtian nodded slowly.
"Yes, although your cultivation level is not even at the Venerable Realm, I have already extracted Ku Zhen's soul power."
"After being thoroughly cleaned, it was split in two and implanted into your bodies. Your soul power is now in the Lower Immortal Realm."
Upon hearing this, the two juniors immediately bowed and kowtowed to Ye Lingtian, expressing their gratitude to their ancestor.
Ye Lingtian waved his hand slightly.
"This is nothing, I can just wave my hand. But you two have to live up to my expectations. I don't want to see this kind of thing happen again."
"Okay!" Ye Que and Ye Xiaoyu nodded at the same time.
They will learn from their mistakes and avoid repeating them.
Ye Lingtian then took some of the immortal items that Ku Zhen had taken out earlier and handed them to the two younger members of the Ye family.
"These are all treasures of Ku Zhen. You can just accept them. If your palace master asks, just answer truthfully. He knows Ye Chen's strength, so he can naturally deduce mine as well."
"Then, Ancestor, where are you going?" Ye Xiaoyu asked with concern, having stopped crying.
Ye Lingtian laughed heartily, “Where to? The people from the Harmony Temple want to take the bloodline power of my Ye family’s descendants, I definitely have to go and have a go at them.”
"You two are too weak, otherwise I would have let you two go."
After speaking, Ye Que and Ye Xiaoyu lowered their heads at the same time, realizing that the ancestor's words were absolutely correct.
Although they are highly talented, their strength is still too weak.
"Alright, focus on your cultivation and try to improve your strength. If anything happens, explain it to the two elders who are protecting you. Don't feel restricted just because they are monitoring you."
"Even if you two were Earth Immortals, I could make you fight two levels higher than me, but unfortunately you are not."
"Alright, I've said too much. I'm leaving now."
Ye Que and Ye Xiaoyu wanted to say a few more words to persuade him to stay, but seeing the ancestor's figure gradually blurring, and considering that the ancestor was about to avenge them, they realized that the ancestor would take revenge for them.
The two knelt down together to thank Ancestor Ye Lingtian for helping them escape their life-or-death predicament.
...
In a secluded forest.
All sorts of strange creatures roam around, including long-legged demon sharks, eight-armed humans, and winged Primordial Giant Elephants.
With a single flap of its wings, it stretched for thousands of feet, truly achieving the ability to blot out the sky and cover the entire small world.
These strange creatures are incredibly powerful, all of them being True Immortals. The giant elephant, in particular, is at the peak of True Immortal, just one step away from reaching the Golden Immortal realm.
But none of them dared to approach the towering hall in the middle, because this hall was none other than the Harmony Hall, one of the eight great halls of the Central Heaven Star Region.
The atmosphere inside the hall was heavy. The hall master, Zhou Ren, frowned as he looked at Ku Zhen's shattered soul jade tube and reprimanded the figures in the hall.
"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly! Who is so audacious as to dare to attack my Temple of Harmony?"
An elderly man with white hair and beard, standing in the main hall, spoke respectfully.
"Palace Master, we all know Ku Zhen's strength very well. Although he is only at the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, he can reach the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm when he unleashes his full power."
"Moreover, he transplanted the antlers of the Nine Nether Divine Deer and the eyes of the Sky-Soaring Mad Bull."
"It also adds to his fighting strength."
Palace Master Zhou Ren said unhappily, "Elder, what do you mean by saying this? Are you just going to stand by and watch others slaughter the elders of my Harmony Temple?"
