"Hehe, you've got some guts, kid. I told you long ago, once you get rid of the source of the trouble, the trouble will naturally be solved. No amount of trickery or schemes is as effective as killing the other party."
The Blood Demon Ancestor chuckled sinisterly.
Ye Chen wholeheartedly agreed. He had once thought that Chi Yuan, having lost his cultivation and left the sect, posed no threat to him anymore. But now he realized that Chi Yuan's very existence was a huge threat. If he didn't kill Chi Yuan and make Lu Ziling and the others give up completely, he feared he would have a hard time obtaining these senior sisters through normal means.
“The Ancestor is right. We must get rid of Chi Yuan, but now that he is far stronger than me, we will have to trouble the Ancestor to take action.”
“A mere Spirit King brat, killing him is as easy as turning one's hand, but…”
Blood Demon Ancestor spoke casually, then changed the subject and said with a sinister smile, "Killing him directly would be too wasteful. Remember your senior brother was born with a sword body? He is a top-quality material, a great tonic for you. He can help you perfect your swordsmanship in one day. We can't waste this resource."
"Furthermore, his death also has its uses. Don't your senior sisters cherish him? If you frame the Demonic Sect for killing him, and then you take revenge, I'm sure your senior sisters will be very grateful to you, right?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's eyes lit up, and he sincerely praised, "Ancestor, you are truly one step ahead! Your grandson will do as you say!"
"This child is teachable."
Blood Demon Ancestor nodded with satisfaction, "Since we're going to frame someone, we should act without delay. Right now, there's a Spirit King-level demonic disciple nearby, which we can use."
...
Footsteps came from the stairs, and Lu Ziling and the other two, who had been waiting for a long time, perked up as they finally saw Chi Yuan appear.
"Senior brother."
Ning Wan'er took the lead and ran over with the Blazing Cloud Sword in her arms. Holding the scabbard with both hands, she was about to present it to Chi Yuan with a look of anticipation.
However, Chi Yuan simply flashed past Ning Wan'er, then took two more steps, his body leaving a trail of afterimages as he moved away. By the time Ning Wan'er and the other two women saw Chi Yuan again, he had already walked out of the auction house.
"Senior brother, wait a minute!"
The three women were in a hurry and were about to set off together to chase after Chi Yuan.
At that moment, Rong Hanyou suddenly stepped in front of them and said, "Please wait, three fairy maidens of the Divine Firmament Sect. My mother wishes to see you. Would you mind if we moved aside to meet her?"
Lu Ziling frowned as she looked at You Ronghanyou and said, "I'm sorry, we have important things to do right now and can't delay. Let's visit another day."
“Three fairies, my mother wants to see you because of your senior brother’s matter. Perhaps she can help you win back Chi Yuan.”
Rong Xinya walked over and said.
"That's right, as you just saw, he doesn't want to pay any attention to you. Even if you catch up with him, what good will it do if you can't resolve his inner conflict?"
You Ronglianxin said calmly.
Lu Ziling and the other two looked at each other in silence. After a moment, Ning Wan'er tentatively asked, "Can your mother really help us win back our senior brother?"
You Rongxin smiled faintly: "If even your mother can't help you, then I'm afraid no one else can."
Hearing this, the three women were all tempted. Just as Rong Lianxin had said, even if they caught up with Chi Yuan, they would most likely return empty-handed. It would be better to go and see Ye Chen's mother, who might be able to provide them with some effective help.
"Alright then."
Lu Ziling agreed on the spot.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Ziling and the other two women followed the Rong Hanyou sisters to the second floor of the auction house.
As for Ye Chen, he was left out in the cold. None of his three older sisters asked him to go up with them, and of course, they probably didn't want him to go up either.
Ye Chen's expression was gloomy. He watched the six people walk upstairs and had no intention of following them. He only wanted to do one thing now, which was to kill Chi Yuan!
...
Outside Jingyang City.
The group was riding a flying magical artifact, heading towards the Ten Thousand Mountains. The leader was none other than Yuwen Xiu, who had previously purchased the "Mysterious Heaven Scroll" at the auction.
Yuwen Xiu leisurely leaned back on the deck of the ship, his mind replaying the stunning beauties he had seen at the auction. He wondered if he should bring another high-level Spirit Sect master with him when he returned to his sect. Those women were truly enviable; none of them could compare to the women he had been with before. He would be quite unwilling if he couldn't get his hands on one or two of them.
boom!
Crash!
But at that moment, a sudden change occurred. The towering ship, which was speeding through the sky, was suddenly frozen in mid-air, and the defensive barrier surrounding the ship shattered and disappeared in an instant.
"Who goes there?!"
Yuwen Xiu was terrified and instinctively tried to take out the puppet from his Qiankun bag to protect himself, but he was horrified to find that the entire space was imprisoned and he couldn't open the space of the Qiankun bag at all.
"Damn it, how could a Spirit Venerable-level expert be targeting me?"
Yuwen Xiu felt a chill run through his body. The ability to imprison space was something only those who had reached the Venerable level possessed, so his opponent was clearly a powerful Spirit Venerable.
He couldn't understand it. He had been low-key enough. To prevent the powerful figures here from misunderstanding that he had any ill intentions, he didn't even bring a royal-level guard with him. Yet, he was still targeted, and by a Spirit Venerable no less!
What terrible luck he's had!
"May I ask which Spirit Venerable senior you are? I am Yuwen Xiu from the Heavenly Demon Sect. My father is Yuwen Chuyuan, the sect master of the Heavenly Demon Sect. May I ask what brings you here, senior?"
Yuwen Xiu bowed and performed the proper etiquette for a junior.
"Hehe, so it's a little guy from the Heavenly Demon Sect."
A chilling, aged laugh echoed, followed by Ye Chen, shrouded in black mist and unable to be seen, appearing in front of the ship.
