Crisis Descends
"For Soul Bone? That's quite possible."
After hearing Chen Xin's explanation, Gu Rong nodded in agreement.
Immediately, Gu Rong turned to Ning Fengzhi and said, "Sect Master, since Huyan Zhen has this reason, we certainly cannot let him succeed. Once he breaks through the title barrier, we will have another competitor."
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi also pondered. If that were the case, their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect really couldn't sit idly by.
The reason why the Upper Three Sects are Upper Three Sects is not only because they are the three strongest sects on the continent, but more importantly, because only these three sects have a Title Douluo.
A sect with titled Douluo is completely different from a sect without titled Douluo. A titled Douluo can defeat Soul Douluo as easily as eating and drinking; their high-level Combat Power is not on the same level.
If Huyan Zhen truly breaks through and becomes a Title Douluo, the Elephant Armored Sect will undoubtedly rise to a higher level, and may even stand on equal footing with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and the Clear Sky Sect, becoming known as the Upper Four Sects.
This situation is definitely not in the interest of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect; no force would like to have another competitor.
"Alright, Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, let's head to the Ye Family right now. We can't let Huyan Zhen get the Soul Bone!"
Ning Fengzhi quickly made a decision. Although the Ye Family was also a competitor of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the restriction that the Nine Star Begonia could only have two successors in a generation meant that its threat to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was not high.
Keeping them around would even be more beneficial to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, since the people of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can also get injured, and no Spirit Master is better at healing than the Nine Heart Begonia.
"Lingling, how are things going with you and Mu'er? That boy hasn't bullied you, has he?"
In a small courtyard of the Ye Family, Xu Yao was chatting with Ye Lingling.
Ye Lingling shook her head and smiled, "Qing Mu is very good to me; he gave me this not long ago."
As she spoke, Ye Lingling took out a seed that emitted a green light from her bosom.
Upon seeing this, Xu Yao was stunned. She hadn't expected Qing Mu to give Ye Lingling the Wood Spirit Seed, an item that could increase cultivation speed.
For Spirit Master, the importance of increasing cultivation speed goes without saying. Without the Wood Spirit Seed, it would be questionable whether she could even reach level 50.
After all, her Innate Soul Power was only level three and a half, and her cultivation speed was quite average before her Martial Soul Evolution into the Narcissus Jade Bone.
However, Xu Yao quickly remembered the Immortal Herb, Soul Bone, and Whale Rubber that Qing Mu had given them, and suddenly felt that it didn't matter anymore.
After all, none of these things are inferior to the Wood Spirit Seed; in fact, Immortal Herb and Soul Bone are even more precious than the Wood Spirit Seed.
thump thump thump--
Just as Xu Yao was in a daze, a deafening bell rang out, causing Ye Lingling's expression to change.
"Lingling, this is..."
Xu Yao immediately noticed the change in Ye Lingling's expression and pressed for an answer.
Ye Lingling took a deep breath. "This is the bell that rings when the family faces a crisis. It means that an external enemy has invaded the Ye Family."
At the same time, Ye Lingling was also very puzzled. As a family that started out in the field of healing, the Ye Family had always been kind to others. Who would attack the Ye Family?
Could it be the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
In Ye Lingling's mind, if anyone were to target the Ye Family, it would only be the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
After all, the Ye Family is no pushover. Dealing with the Ye Family would likely result in serious damage to oneself, and one might even be swallowed up by other forces. Only if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is strong enough will it not be afraid of the Ye Family's counterattack.
Boom--
"Huyan Zhen, how could it be you!"
At that moment, a voice filled with surprise and uncertainty came from outside.
"It's the Grand Elder!"
Ye Lingling naturally recognized the source of the voice; it belonged to Ye He, the eldest elder of the Ye Family and an eighty-sixth-level Soul Douluo Ye He!
Ye He was also a member of the Ye Family, and was the elder brother of her mother, Ye Haitang.
The reason he is not the Family Head is because he did not awaken the Ye Family's Nine Star Begonia, but instead inherited the top-tier Martial Soul, the Black Crow King!
It was precisely because of this Soul Douluo's presence that the Ye Family was able to steadily become a first-class power on the continent.
Meanwhile, outside the courtyard, a middle-aged man dressed in a black robe, appearing to be around forty or fifty years old, with nearly five-meter-long black wings on his back, was hovering about ten meters in the air, coldly looking down at Huyan Zhen and the Elephant Armored Sect members behind him!
"The celestial Huyan Zhen. My Ye Family has no grudge against you. What is your intention in doing this today?"
Upon hearing this, Huyan Zhen simply laughed loudly, "Black Crow Ye He, I've come here today only to demand one person!"
"Who?"
Ye He raised an eyebrow and asked.
Huyan Zhen: "Don't worry, he's not from your Ye Family. This person's name is Qing Tianfeng, and he's currently in your Ye Family."
"Impossible!"
At this moment, Ye Haitang also ran over and rejected Huyan Zhen's suggestion before Ye He could even speak.
Immediately, Ye He also refused, saying, "Qing Tianfeng is our Ye Family's in-law. Our Ye Family will not agree to your request."
"Yeah?"
Upon hearing their answers, a hint of coldness flashed in Huyan Zhen's eyes.
"In that case, the Ye Family has no reason to exist anymore. Members of the Elephant Armored Sect, make your move!"
With a gentle Huyan Zhen of his hand, Elephant Armored Sect summoned hundreds of Spirit Master from the Elephant Armor Sect to advance towards the Ye Family's interior.
"How dare you!"
Seeing that the Elephant Armored Sect actually dared to make a move, Ye He and Ye Haitang's expressions changed.
Ye He then flapped his massive black wings, instantly disappearing from his spot, and charged towards the Elephant Armored Sect disciples.
"Ye He, your opponents are us!"
Just after Ye He seriously injured several disciples of the Elephant Armored Sect, the second and third elders of the Elephant Armored Sect stepped forward and engaged Ye He in battle.
Huyan Zhen, on the other hand, charged towards Ye Haitang like a cannonball.
Ye Haitang naturally dodged, but as a Support Soul Master, how could she possibly be faster than Huyan Zhen? Therefore, the distance between them was rapidly closing.
Damn it!
Ye He naturally noticed this scene. One of his Soul Ring suddenly lit up, and his figure immediately transformed into a black shadow, quickly arriving in front of Ye Haitang.
Then a massive black wing blocked the impact of Huyan Zhen.
Huyan Zhen's attack, from an 89th-level Soul Douluo, was not so easy to block, especially since he had used Soul Skill. Ye He was injured almost instantly.
"Third Spirit Skill!"
As a petal fell, Ye He, aided by Ye Haitang, instantly returned to his peak condition.
However, at this moment, Ye Haitang looked at the scene around her and her heart sank.
The Elephant Armored Sect is far stronger than the Ye Family, especially since they have three Soul Douluo on the other side, one of whom is the Celestial Huyan Zhen.
"Damn it, why aren't the Second Elder and Third Elder here yet? They should have arrived long ago!" Ye Haitang cursed inwardly.
Seemingly to answer Ye Haitang's inner doubts, a member of the Ye Family came running over as if his life depended on it, shouting as he ran, "Family Head, First Elder, Third Elder, please help! The West has been invaded by an unknown force!"
