Two Paths (4)

"To you, the flaws of the Nine-Heart Begonia must be as clear as the lines on your palm."

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's attitude toward our family has always been rather subtle."

Ye Lingling has a rather cold personality.

However, upon closer observation, it becomes clear that Ye Lingling's coldness is not aloofness, but rather excessive introversion. She doesn't know how to socialize with others, and under the influence of fear and apprehension, she puts on a seemingly cold protective layer. This is a different style from Zhu Zhuqing's cold elegance and Shui Bing'er's aloofness, like a trembling water lily.

Therefore, she always speaks sparingly and sparingly.

If we can save a single word, we should.

"That's why I extended an invitation to you and your family." Fortunately, Ye Qingcang was quite perceptive, otherwise he wouldn't have understood Ye Lingling's implied concern. "The only drawback of the Nine-Heart Begonia is that only two people can awaken the Nine-Heart Begonia at the same time. If the quota is full, no one else will be able to awaken the Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Soul. The Nine-Heart Begonia's potential is higher than that of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and it is also a precious healing-type Martial Soul. If it weren't for the small number of people, the title of the number one support in the world would belong to the Nine Heart Begonia clan, not the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. That's why the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has been suppressing the Nine Heart Begonia clan, which is why you hesitated."

"Yes." Ye Lingling's eyes held an unspeakable sadness, hidden by her thick bangs. Her long, straight black hair trembled slightly, making her look like an autistic person at first glance. "When I was six years old, my grandmother entered the Bronze Gate of the clan. After that, I awakened my Martial Soul and learned about the flaws of the Nine-Heart Begonia... And the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has a very good relationship with you. Even if I don't mind following you, we cannot coexist."

"But if you refuse me, I won't stop the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for your sake." It's hard to imagine how Ye Qingcang could utter such a threatening statement with such a calm tone, but the second half of his sentence truly moved Ye Lingling: "A speck of dust in the era becomes a mountain on an individual; Martial Soul are related to bloodlines, and the essence of bloodlines is genes. If you extract the speed of a cheetah and add it to your genes, a human can possess the speed of a cheetah; if you extract the strength of a tiger and add it to your genes, a human can possess the strength of a tiger; if you take out the genes related to the Nine-Heart Begonia's inheritance and modify them, the Nine-Heart Begonia will no longer suffer from genetic problems... In the eyes of Deity, Goddess of Life is nothing but a toy. Creating a body out of thin air is very simple, creating Martial Soul is even simpler; I can even give you a Martial Soul, Martial Soul, fourth Martial Soul, and so on. Now, can you give me an answer?"

"I do!"

Ye Lingling did not question Ye Qingcang's words.

Gods are omnipotent, whether in history books ten thousand years later or in current history books. In the record of the War of the Three Gods, it is written that the God of Food, Oscar, and the God of Nine Colors, Ning Rongrong, used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill to revive the Sea God, Tang San. If even dead gods can be revived, wouldn't it be easy to change a Soul Master's Martial Soul or change a Soul Master's body?

Both positive and negative examples prove this point.

What else could she possibly doubt?

What else could she possibly hesitate about?

Not to mention that she didn't dislike Ye Qingcang at all.

"Next, it's your turn, Miss Bai." Ye Qingcang exposed Bai Chenxiang's false identity, but since so many things had shocked Yu Tianheng and his group today, it didn't seem so bad that a teammate was dressed as a woman, as long as it wasn't a man dressed as a woman. "I have an investigation report on the current situation of the Speed Clan, as well as the Defense Clan, Breaking Clan, and Strength Clan. I can tell you the truth: Qian Renxue and I are friends, and I won't let my friends suffer. Therefore, I hope you can help me persuade your grandfather to make the Defense Clan, Breaking Clan, and your Speed Clan pledge allegiance to me... I'm not the kind of person who would let my own people suffer. If you can do that, I can add some attack and self-defense capabilities to the Needletail Swift Martial Soul. Although with Soul Tool, your grandfather is more likely to choose the Soul Tool."

"You're friends with the Spirit Hall, and you still want me to pledge my allegiance to you?" Knowing he'd been exposed, Yu Feng stopped pretending. He activated his Soul Bone with his Soul Power, and with a gentle tremor, his disguise shattered like a broken mirror, falling to the ground in a shower of fragments. Then, it returned to the world as pure Soul Power, his voice clear and melodious, like a lark's. "If someone had bullied you for over ten years, and now I tell you: I'll give you a chance, you submit to me; would you submit to him?"

"Insolence!" While others dared not rebuke Bai Chenxiang, Yu Tianxin dared not. As a martial arts fanatic, upon seeing the token representing the clan leader, his admiration for Ye Qingcang surged like a never-ending river. Now, Ye Qingcang was both God Trial Taker and his clan leader. Yu Tianheng might not support Ye Qingcang out of consideration for his teammates, but Yu Tianxin had to. "The clan leader is giving your Speed Clan a chance to live. Don't think your Speed Clan is so strong that you don't even need the Spirit Hall to lift a finger. My Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan can wipe you out. Little girl, don't push your luck!"

"Go ahead and kill me if you dare!" Bai Chenxiang, outwardly gentle but inwardly strong, closed her eyes, raised her head, and resolved to die rather than submit. "You surnamed Ye, I thought you were someone special, but I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. My Speed Clan has suffered countless humiliations at the Spirit Hall. We'd rather lose our heads than shed our blood. You want our Speed Clan to surrender to the Spirit Hall? Let me tell you... don't even think about it!"

"Chieftain..."

Upon seeing this, Yu Tianheng immediately became anxious.

Bai Chenxiang and Ye Qingcang.

One dared to die, the other dared to kill.

He truly couldn't bear to see his teammate Bai Chenxiang die here. After all, they were teammates on the same team as Bai Chenxiang.

However, Yu Tianheng underestimated Ye Qingcang's magnanimity.

Ye Qingcang only resorts to deadly attacks when facing enemies who can never be on his side. Don't be fooled by Bai Chenxiang's current appearance of heroic sacrifice; he's no match for the trump cards Ye Qingcang has prepared. "Tang Hao and Tang San have returned to the Clear Sky Sect. At the Clear Sky Sect's meeting, they received the mission to gather the Four Element Families back to the Clear Sky Sect. They've now met up with Tai Tan, the patriarch of the Strength Clan, and are summoning your grandfather and the patriarchs of the other two clans to discuss this matter... You have many choices, but all choices boil down to two: be my enemy or submit to me. These two choices represent two paths, and you know the key points of each path. It's a choice between trusting the Clear Sky Sect, which you have kinship with but which has abandoned you, or trusting me. This is the choice you need to make. Don't count on your grandfather's side; I won't go. They'll definitely be persuaded by Tang San. I just want to hear your opinion. Your answer will determine whether the Speed Clan, the Breaking Clan, and the Defense Clan have any reason to remain in the world."

"Then I'll submit to you!"

Bai Chenxiang immediately betrayed him.

The sudden turn of events caught Yu Tianheng and the others off guard.

Compared to the hateful Spirit Hall, Bai Chenxiang hated the Clear Sky Sect, the traitor who betrayed his teammates, even more. Although submitting to the Spirit Hall was not advisable, submitting to Ye Qingcang... was actually the easiest to accept among the three choices, and it wasn't a bad idea after all.

Disobedience = the destruction of the Speed Clan.

Submission = Survival of the Speed Clan.

Submitting to Ye Qingcang ≠ Submitting to the Spirit Hall.

Submitting to the Clear Sky Sect ≈ the possibility of being abandoned.

The four formulas are grouped together, making it very easy to understand.

"Violet?" Ye Qingcang received the expected answer and waved to Violet: "You can arrange things for them. I'm going with Bai Chenxiang, and we'll be back before dinner."

"Clear."

Violet nodded.

Before Yu Tianheng and his group could even understand what was happening...

Then they saw Ye Qingcang pressing down on Bai Chenxiang's shoulder.

A magnificent magic circle appeared.

A flash of deep purple light.

Ye Qingcang and Bai Chenxiang have disappeared.
