People from all the major factions pleaded for their lives, otherwise they feared they would not be able to leave alive.
Therefore, although the Chen Lineage's rise to power was brief, it was virtually impossible for them to infiltrate the ranks; it was better to lay their cards on the table.
However, these words left the many onlookers dumbfounded. They had no interest in meddling in other people's business; they could only watch this kind of conflict unfold.
In contrast, the people of the major dynasties and ancient families were also dumbfounded.
You all actually came!
We were all caught! Luckily, it wasn't shameful, we had company.
The Chen Lineage undercover agent was completely speechless.
Xiao Yu was frosty as she scanned the crowd.
"Whoever you are, attempting to infiltrate my Chen Lineage is a capital offense!"
"Men, kill them all!"
After saying that, my heart was pounding. I'm so scared...
However, she knew that even if her master were here, he would never let these people go. Forget about those with ulterior motives; anyone with a wicked heart or malicious intentions would be killed on the spot!
As for whether any of these people were Chen Lineage, he thought to himself, "I'll find out after I chop them up."
In an instant, dozens of Chen Lineage experts, along with their powerful puppets, were wiped out.
"You dare! Offending our great dynasties and aristocratic families will surely lead to a united attack!" The person who spoke these words was full of confidence and quickly roared.
It seems that all the major powers share the same idea and are somewhat wary of the Chen Lineage. In this light, they are, to some extent, on the same side.
How dare the Chen Lineage lay a hand on them!
"Does the Chen Lineage really think they can stand against the combined forces of all these major powers?!"
Immediately, everyone started to speak.
"Make your move," Xiao Yu immediately ordered.
In an instant, the people from all the major forces turned pale with fright. The Chen Lineage really dared to do that!
Just then, the Chen Lineage spies quickly stepped forward, "Wait! Chen Zhong, a direct descendant of Chen Lineage family, has returned to the clan!"
If you don't step forward, you'll be mistakenly killed! There's no point in going back to infiltrate.
"The second branch of the Chen Lineage, Chen Guan, is a Hui!"
"The fifth of the Chen Lineage..."
Immediately, everyone spoke up.
These words left everyone from all the major factions stunned once again.
" Chen Zhong! How dare you betray my Holy Dynasty!"
" Chen Guan, how dare you betray my Wang Lineage!"
He's vomiting blood. There's a mole!
The other cultivators were also stunned. Sure enough, they had seen it with their own eyes! This time, they had truly witnessed it! The Chen Lineage was actually among the top forces in the Desolate Ancient Continent!
That's terrifying.
Seeing this, Xiao Yu laughed instead, "Except for the Chen Lineage, leave no one else alive!"
In an instant, a group of people swarmed over and attacked. They would overpower someone, not fight one-on-one.
Soon, the people sent by various forces were killed on the spot, their eyes wide open in disbelief. They died without understanding why the Chen Lineage would still kill them even after they had revealed their identities.
Seeing this, Xiao Yu said, "Continue with the cleanup and disciple recruitment!"
Chen Zhong and the others felt a chill run down their spines. They didn't know who this woman was, but with such power, she must be of high status.
The fact that the Chen Lineage so decisively killed members of various top-tier forces... is somewhat bitter. Those people, in order to save their lives, revealed their identities.
They revealed their identities to save their lives. Otherwise, they would have wanted to go back to their undercover work. (Seriously?)
Not far away, Ye Gu wiped the sweat from his forehead. How terrifying! The Chen Lineage, they even dared to kill people from various dynasties and ancient families!
I don't know if it was right for me to bring Ye Hao to the Chen Lineage for help.
Thankfully, they followed the proper procedures. We'll just have to wait for Ye Hao's results... then we'll see.
In the void.
Chen Fan watched all this unfold. His second disciple was growing rapidly; at least he wouldn't be soft-hearted anymore.
As for the major dynasties and ancient families, they will inevitably clash sooner or later.
Her master can cover for her.
Then, their attention turned to the Heaven-Questioning Ladder.
Find your own goals.
Through their senses, they quickly discovered a boy whose aura was different because his Supreme Bone had been removed...
She was quite young, looking about seven or eight years old, a few years younger than Bai Fengyao.
How could I possibly laugh at him for having no bones?
Well then, we're both cultivators with Supreme Bone, this is fate. The Supreme Bone will regenerate on their own in the future, so why not bring him to the Chen Lineage and make him their chosen laborer?
And so, Chen Fan silently watched him climb the stairs. It was somewhat difficult, but his willpower was extraordinary.
That makes sense when you think about it.
Soon, the result of the Heaven-Questioning Ladder was obtained.
Of the hundreds of thousands of cultivators who came this time, nearly 50,000 disciples were selected after screening.
Further trials await at the Dao Comprehension Divine Stele and the Mount Tai Ancient Stele.
This process took several days.
From the crowd, Ye Hao exclaimed excitedly, "Grandpa, I did it!"
Ye Gu laughed heartily, " Xiao Hao, well done. You've become a disciple of the Chen Lineage, and you'll have a chance to meet the Chen Lineage patriarch someday."
This is the first step. With this relationship established, things will be much easier to discuss, since the Ye Clan is far inferior to the Chen Lineage.
"Grandpa, does that mean I'm... no longer Ye Clan?" Ye Hao immediately became dejected.
He didn't want to leave his Lineage because of this, but having become a disciple of the Chen Lineage, he had no choice.
"Child, your joining the Chen Lineage will always be a source of pride for the Ye Clan, so don't worry." Ye Gu patted Ye Hao's hair. "Alright, Grandpa will now plead with you to meet the Chen Lineage patriarch."
Then, she pulled Ye Hao to find Xiao Yu, since it seemed she was in charge.
"Young lady, we are from the Ye Clan, and this child is now a disciple of the Chen Lineage. We have matters to discuss with the Chen Lineage patriarch..."
Xiao Yu, unaware of the situation, glanced at the two of them, but the child left a rather deep impression on her.
"Sorry, my master is very busy."
He refused outright; how could he possibly meet his master with just anyone?
Ye Gu knew Xiao Yu was in a dilemma, "Miss, to be honest, this child's Supreme Bone was stolen by villains. We came here to bother you because we learned that the Chen Lineage patriarch possessed Supreme body. Please trouble yourself..."
Frankly speaking, if the Chen Lineage patriarch truly has a way to restore Ye Hao's Supreme Bone, then Ye Hao will definitely be valued, nurtured, and protected.
If not, then it's all for naught; there seems to be no point in hiding such a secret.
" Supreme Bone!" Xiao Yu was astonished upon hearing this. This was only the second genius she had seen besides her master to possess the Supreme Bone.
It's a pity they were poached; otherwise, having such a prodigy delivered to their doorstep, with two Supreme in one family, would be a huge boost to the Lineage.
"Sir, shall I report to my master and then give you an answer?"
Given the special circumstances, she dared not draw a conclusion on her own.
Ye Gu's face lit up with joy. "Thank you for your trouble, young lady."
Ye Hao breathed a sigh of relief, his heart filled with anticipation. The Chen Lineage patriarch was a legendary figure; if he had the chance to restore his Supreme Bone, he would surely carry it forward and not let it go to waste.
As Xiao Yu turned to leave, she suddenly received a telepathic message from her master.
He turned his head and said, "Uncle, my master agrees to see you. Please come with me."
[Ding! Recruiting disciples and expanding your Lineage. Congratulations, host, you have received a reward of 10 trillion Imperial Crystals.]
Although Chen Fan is not short of money now, he doesn't mind having too much.
The value of Imperial Crystals when converted into top-grade spirit stones is immeasurable.
Not to mention, Imperial Crystals are extremely rare; the entire continent couldn't produce that many.
However, that child and his family probably came looking for him from the very beginning.
He didn't seem to care much. He wouldn't cruelly mock or bully a child.
Soon, Ye Gu and Ye Hao were brought by Xiao Yu.
"I am Ye Gu of the Ye Clan, and I pay my respects to the Chen Lineage Ancestor." Ye Gu was inwardly shocked; the Chen Lineage Ancestor was indeed as young as the rumors suggested.
But he dared not think too much about it, much less look up.
Ye Hao quickly bowed and said, " Ye Hao greets the Chen Lineage patriarch."
Chen Fan hummed in agreement, holding a cup of tea in his hand.
"Without destruction, there can be no construction; destruction precedes construction. Thus, one can be reborn Supreme..."
A master! Such a level of skill! Ye Gu was completely overwhelmed. The Chen Lineage patriarch had known their purpose all along!
In short, it was a revelation, containing endless profound mysteries.
thump.
Ye Hao immediately knelt down.
"Ancestor of the Chen Lineage, please accept me as your disciple..."
Let's not go back to the Ye Clan for now; Grandpa is right.
