Chapter 606: The Boat Does Not Cross (4)
The Eighth Elder sighed, his voice filled with grief. "The secret realm of Zaitian Mountain is filled with high-level ferocious beasts. How could low-level cultivators like the little girl survive if they went in?"
"In this lineage of the Patriarch, there are four children, but only An Ci is one."
"I've heard of the Zai Tian Mountain Secret Realm. Didn't the cultivators who entered it thirty years ago say that it was full of treasures and that it was a blessed land without much danger?" Ye Qingzhou asked in a hoarse voice.
If his spiritual roots had not been destroyed, he would have entered the secret realm of Zai Tian Mountain.
"I don't know the specific situation. Before we could investigate, the strange black energy and ferocious beasts that emerged from inside had already started attacking people. There were too many ninth-level ferocious beasts, so we could only retreat temporarily and make plans later."
"Once the beasts gain wisdom, they will also engage in scheming and scheming, even more vicious than the monks. I suspect this is all their conspiracy against the monks."
The number of cultivators entering the secret realm of Zai Tian Mountain this time is several times greater than the first time. The Eighth Elder even sensed the golden elixir aura of the Song family disciples that had not yet been absorbed on those ferocious beasts.
The Eighth Elder waved his hand and said, "Go back and recuperate. Don't run around. I have to go discuss with the Patriarch and those old guys how to protect ourselves."
After saying this, the Eighth Elder hurried away.
Two days later, all the ferocious beasts that entered the Zhongzhou City defense formation were eliminated by the major families, but the ninth-level ferocious beasts outside the defense formation were still violently attacking the formation.
The city defense formation was not as strong as the clan defense formations of the five great families, and it was already shaking after being hit.
Small families and independent cultivators sought protection from large families in fear.
The top leaders of the Song family were worried, and the cultivators in Zhongzhou were shrouded in dark clouds, and people were in panic.
Ye Qingzhou couldn't help and could only stay on the mountain, looking at the gloomy sky, his worries growing heavier.
"Qingzhou." A green shadow fell in front of Ye Qingzhou.
Ye Qingzhou jumped down from the tree and looked at Song Anci's face. "Brother Anci, why did you come to see me? Are you hurt?"
Song Anci's face was a little pale at this moment. The deaths of his younger brother, sister and wife filled his eyes with lingering sadness.
"No problem, I just lost some spiritual power." Song Anci shook his head. "The Ye family is making a fuss outside the clan protection formation and asking us to hand you over. They want to know how to open the Ye family's clan protection formation. If you don't leave the range of the Song family's formation, they can't do anything to you."
"I see. How's the situation outside?"
Song Anci sat on the stone and said, "It's not good. We tried to send a message but failed. We can only hope that other forces will discover the abnormality in Zhongzhou City.
"The city's protective formation is in danger. Now, there are endless black masses of ninth-level ferocious beasts outside. The city's protective formation can't hold out for much longer. The five major families' protective formations are the last line of defense."
"Are you going to open the Ye family's protective formation?"
Ye Qingzhou lowered his eyes. "What right do they have to live? Before Sister An Ran came back, no matter if it was for profit or to avoid harm, when I was bullied by them, none of the elders offered me a helping hand."
"Now I need to open the clan protection formation, and I am giving orders in a condescending manner. Why should I care about their lives?"
"But it's okay to go and take a look." Ye Qingzhou stood up and looked at Song Anci, "Brother Anci, can you take me down there?"
"good."
Being led by Song Anci, Ye Qingzhou looked at his dejected profile and said softly, "Brother Anci, I am sorry for your loss."
Song Anci pulled the corners of his mouth, but couldn't smile in the end.
He had expressed his condolences to Ye Qingzhou not long ago. Only then did he realize that some sorrows were destined to be uncontrollable.
When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, Ye Qingzhou saw many familiar faces, including Ye Congling's family and the elders of the Ye family who knew that he had been kicked out of the Ye family but remained silent.
"Ye Qingzhou, how can you be so cold-hearted! You refused to open the clan protection formation when I asked you to. Do you want to watch us being killed by the ferocious beasts?!" an elder asked angrily.
"Hurry up and open the clan protection formation and let us in!"
"Qingzhou, Second Uncle..."
When Ye Congling was about to speak, Ye Qingzhou raised his hand and said, "I don't want to listen to your hypocritical words. I feel sick when I hear your voice."
He glanced coldly at the elders of the Ye family and sneered, "You came to me when you were dying. Why didn't any of you come to ask me if I was okay?"
"After my parents were murdered, did you ever hear me say a word? Did you ever say a word for me? You all rushed to climb Ye Congling. Since you chose to stand by and watch coldly back then, what's wrong with me standing by and watching coldly now?"
"You can ask me to open the clan protection formation and kill Ye Congling's family. I will do as you wish."
Song Anci glanced at him but said nothing.
Because of an accident, all the ancestors of the Ye family died. It was Ye Chongshan who supported the Ye family when there was a lack of successors. Before that, the relationship with the other four families was mediocre, but in their generation, Ye Qingzhou loved to play with An Ran, and their relationship gradually deepened. The position of one of the five major families was temporarily secured because of Ye Chongshan and Ye Qingzhou.
But Ye Chongshan and his wife died, and Ye Qingzhou's spiritual roots were destroyed. The elders weighed the pros and cons and chose to ignore Ye Qingzhou.
As soon as Ye Qingzhou said this, the elders of the Ye family vaguely looked towards Ye Congling's family.
Ye Congling's face darkened. "Ye Qingzhou, you have such a vicious heart! You instigated others to attack your own uncle!"
"Unlike you, you're willing to murder even your own brother and sister-in-law for the position of Patriarch." Ye Qingzhou looked up at the cracked city defense formation and said lightly, "Time is running out for you. I don't know if you can withstand the claws of a peak-level ninth-order beast."
Ye Congling was eager for quick success and took power immediately after his parents' death. Everyone could see that the claim that this martial art could reverse death was a lie.
"Master, I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position for the sake of everyone's lives. Your position as master of the family was obtained in an unclear way!" An elder attacked Ye Congling.
"How dare you! Ye Tao!" Ye Congling dodged the attack and was furious.
Ye Qingzhou watched them fighting each other coldly, but he didn't feel happy at all.
Even if they died, they couldn't bring back his parents.
Seeing that they were fighting among themselves first, the Song family members looked at them with sneers.
When he saw Ye Congling's family being killed, Ye Qingzhou curled his lips and turned away.
"Young Master!" Seeing him turn around, the elders of the Ye family were anxious and angry.
Instead, some of the Ye family disciples who followed lowered their heads.
Ye Qingzhou turned around and looked at the disciples behind the elders. He was soft-hearted.
When he was in the Song family, due to the pressure from Ye Congling, many disciples of the Ye family could only secretly ask disciples of the Song family to send things to him.
He turned and looked at Song Anci, "Brother Anci, can you go with me?"
Song Anci nodded and took Ye Qingzhou out.
Ye Qingzhou stretched out his hand, "The Patriarch ordered it to be brought here."
A disciple of the Ye family picked up the family head order that fell to the ground after Ye Congling died and handed it to Ye Qingzhou.
Ye Qingzhou bit his finger, letting the blood drip onto the Patriarch's decree. He glanced at the elders and said, "We all know that they killed my parents, but in the face of vested interests, you chose to ignore them."
