Zhao Si was delighted to hear this.
As expected of the ancestor! He foresaw everything like a god, his plans leaving nothing to chance!
"Ancestor, what preparations have you made?"
Zhao Si asked curiously.
"Our Breeze Sect isn't as simple as you imagine."
"The ancestor who founded the Breeze Sect had ties with an elder of the Myriad Origins Holy Land."
"If the Breeze Sect faces a crisis of life and death, we can ask him for help."
"After learning that the Falling Snow Sect had been destroyed, I notified him!"
Zhao Heng spoke calmly, everything within his grasp.
Hearing this, Zhao Si grew even more excited.
The Myriad Origins Holy Land was a colossus of the Eastern Domain, a top-tier power among the very best.
There were living Saints in the holy land, and its elders were undoubtedly King-level experts.
Such beings could tear apart stars above with their bare hands and shatter the earth below with a single stomp. There was nothing they could not do.
Even if the Ye Lineage had an emperor artifact, its members were pitifully weak. How much of its power could they possibly unleash?
At this thought, he sneered repeatedly.
The Ye Lineage dared to tug at the Breeze Sect's tiger whiskers. They truly didn't know how to write the word "death"!
But then something else occurred to him, and a trace of worry flashed through his eyes. "Ancestor, it's naturally a good thing that a holy land elder is coming, but... I'm afraid our sect might end up with nothing!"
Zhao Heng glanced at Zhao Si and spoke with the frustration of someone lamenting that iron would not turn to steel. "Rest assured. A being like that wouldn't give those low-grade resources a second glance. Only the emperor artifact and a few other precious things would catch his eye, so there's no need to worry!"
Hearing this, Zhao Si finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But then he felt somewhat indignant. What he considered extraordinarily precious was mere trash that others could not even be bothered to look at.
Still, once they swallowed up the Ye Lineage, with those resources, he might well reach that realm himself and make the world look up to him.
At this thought, excitement surged through him, and he wished the Ye Lineage would appear at the Breeze Sect right now.
Inside a palace wreathed in ethereal immortal mist in the Myriad Origins Holy Land.
An old man with crane-white hair and a youthful face stared at the transmission stone before him, towering waves surging in his heart.
Not long ago, a descendant of an old friend with whom he had ties had sent him a message, saying he had discovered traces of the Heavenly Profound Ye Lineage.
He naturally knew what "the Heavenly Profound Ye Lineage" meant.
At first, he had not believed it. After all, countless major powers had been secretly searching for traces of the Ye Lineage, all to no avail.
How could some minor third-grade faction he had never even heard of find them?
But when he learned that another minor third-grade faction had been erased without a trace, he decided to take a look himself.
He could erase a minor faction without a trace too, but an expert like that could not possibly appear in such a small place.
So perhaps that descendant of his old friend really had found the Ye Lineage.
At this thought, his heart could not help burning with anticipation.
The Ye Lineage-that was the Heavenly Profound Ye Lineage!
Who knew how many treasures lay in their lineage treasury?
If I could obtain them, even the Saint Realm or the Emperor Realm would no longer be an extravagant dream.
So he decided that if it really was the Ye Lineage, he would kill everyone who knew the truth, then take the Ye Lineage's treasury for himself and hide for a thousand years before emerging again. By then, would the entire Eastern Domain not be his?
Whether he could kill them all was not even a consideration.
What a joke. As a mighty King Realm expert, wouldn't killing a few ants be effortless?
You say those ants have an emperor artifact? So what?
Would you fear a baby holding a knife?
No, and there was no possibility of it!
With that thought, he immediately took a teleportation array, unable to wait any longer, and headed for Heavenly Profound Province, where the Breeze Sect was located.
The Ye Lineage had now arrived at the outskirts of Breeze Mountain.
Countless Breeze Sect disciples were confronting them there.
Seeing how weak the Ye Lineage was, the Breeze Sect disciples' eyes brimmed with contempt.
"What faction is this? They dare attack our Breeze Sect with just this?"
"They're supposedly the Qingshui Ye Lineage. Who knows what madness possessed them to come make trouble at our sect!"
"So it's that Ye Lineage? Aren't they all a bunch of trash?"
"I remember now. I went to Clearwater Town on a mission before and robbed some Ye Lineage disciples of their spirit stones. The Ye Lineage didn't even dare let out a fart!"
"And they still dare come here shouting about fighting and killing? Can I no longer lift my blade, or have they gotten too full of themselves?"
"Hmph, a bunch of trash dares climb onto our heads!"
"But seriously, why hasn't the sect master let us attack yet? I'm in a hurry to get back and eat!"
"..."
On the other side, facing the menacing Breeze Sect disciples, everyone in the Ye Lineage could not help feeling somewhat intimidated.
The difference in strength was simply too great.
Not even the Breeze Sect's elders had come. These were all disciples.
Yet most of these disciples were in the Qi Sea Realm, and a few were even Xiantian Realm experts.
By contrast, most of them were in the Body Tempering Realm or the early Meridian Condensation Realm, a smaller portion were in the late Meridian Condensation Realm, and only a handful were in the Qi Sea Realm. Even their strongest was only at peak Qi Sea.
Moreover, the other side outnumbered them dozens of times over.
Even if their opponents simply stood there and did nothing, their imposing presence alone could crush them.
The Ye Lineage disciples' faces had turned somewhat pale. They were nearly unable to withstand the opposing presence and were on the verge of falling to their knees, holding on through sheer will alone.
"They're so strong. Can we really beat them?"
"I can barely hold on!"
"The gap between us and them is too great!"
Some began to waver.
After hot blood cooled and reason returned, people were most prone to wavering.
However, some faced death as though returning home.
"So what if they're strong? What the hell is there to fear?"
"I've long since had enough of taking other people's shit. The ancestor told us to stand tall. Do you want to crawl back down again?"
"That's right! We're not taking this shit anymore!"
"I believe in the ancestor. He would never send us to our deaths!"
"That's right! With the ancestor here, the Ye Lineage will win!"
Seeing this, Ye Xuan and the lineage elders could not help being deeply worried.
The Breeze Sect had indeed ruled the Clear Wind Kingdom for over a thousand years. Its strength and foundations were truly beyond comparison with a small lineage like theirs.
If they fought head-on, the Ye Lineage would certainly face death with no chance of survival.
There was no other way now. They exchanged glances, then Ye Xuan took out a black spirit beast pouch and was just about to open it.
As it happened, the Breeze Sect's ancestor, sect master, and elders all appeared at that moment.
When Zhao Heng and Zhao Si saw the spirit beast pouch, they were startled, then overjoyed.
They thought it was a storage pouch, and that the emperor artifact was inside.
The Ye Lineage really did have an emperor artifact!
No wonder they dared attack the Breeze Sect.
But they had no idea how foolish this was.
The two exchanged a smile.
Everything was within their grasp.
Seeing the strange smiles on the Breeze Sect's ancestor and sect master, Ye Xuan hesitated no longer and immediately opened the spirit beast pouch.
At once, an immensely powerful pressure swept across the entire scene, leaving everyone trembling beneath it.
Zhao Heng and Zhao Si were even more ecstatic.
It was here!
After such a long, bitter wait, it was finally here!
