“It’s you again.” Spiritual energy surged in Ye Shu’s hands. Her red dress fluttered wantonly as he stared at Old Master Ye and said coldly.

Ye Ting was slightly stunned, but he didn’t understand. “Shu-er, what are you talking about?”

Everyone was also confused. Looking at Ye Shu’s abnormal behavior, Ye Qing frowned and scolded, “Ye Shu, what nonsense are you talking about? Who allowed you to shout at grandpa?”

“That’s right, how rude!”

Ye Shu laughed coldly. Her eyes were filled with coldness. “I didn’t expect you guys to be so blind that you can’t even recognize your own grandfather. When did Old Master Ye become so weak? Are you done pretending?”

They immediately reacted and looked at Old Master Ye in unison. They saw that he was indeed abnormally weak. Even his skin was much rougher and duller than before. His turbid eyes were extremely strange but he suddenly started laughing weirdly.

The laughter immediately echoed in the Ye Residence. A cold wind blew, causing everyone’s skin to hurt. Suddenly, his brown coat turned into a long black robe that wrapped around his skinny body. Only his strange and turbid eyes were revealed as he stared straight at Ye Shu.

“Not bad, young lady. You actually recognized me… I told you, we will continue to meet.”

His tone was very familiar. It was as if he had met someone he had not seen for a long time and was reminiscing about the past. It was likely that the look in his eyes did not come with good intentions. There were no ripples in Ye Shu’s eyes. Spiritual Energy surged in her palm and she was ready to attack at any time.

Ye Qing reacted and shouted at the old man, “Who are you? Why did you impersonate Old Master Ye? Where did you hide him?”

The old man laughed weirdly and did not even look at him. He only stared straight at Ye Shu, his eyes full of desire. “Where did your old master go? That’s not important. What’s important is that I want to catch up with this lady.”

Ye Ting felt that something was wrong. He quickly stepped in front of Ye Shu and cautiously looked at the old man. The more he looked, the more he felt that something was wrong. He frowned and asked, “Shu-er, do you know him?”

She smiled and shook her head. “No.”

“If you’re not familiar with him… then you’re an enemy!” Ye Ting sneered. Like a tidal wave, his spiritual power surged violently towards the old man! However, as the wind and clouds changed, the old man’s figure had already disappeared without a trace. A hoarse laughter echoed in the air, extremely sharp and ear-piercing.

How was that possible?

Everyone was in an uproar. Ye Ting was a Golden Core Realm expert, yet that old man had actually directly avoided his attack?

Ye Ting looked at the empty surroundings and was a little surprised. When he turned around again, he panicked and realized that Ye Shu had disappeared!

——

Ye Shu felt as though the world was turning upside down. When she opened her eyes, her surroundings were pitch-black and she could not even see her own fingers. The evil aura inside was overwhelming and when it touched her skin, it felt as though a knife was cutting it. The old man’s strange laughter echoed in her ears.

“The bloodline of a goddess, the bloodline of a goddess that is hard to come by even in a million years! Hahaha! The heavens are helping me, Yao Chenzi! After you train in this Demon Sealing Tower for 49 days until your marrow melts, this bloodline will be mine!”

“This Demon Sealing Pagoda is extraordinary. Cultivators are like ants that have their bones corroded inside. It’s so painful that they wish they were dead! Enjoy it!”

That crazy and excited laughter was particularly ear-piercing. Ye Shu could not help but frown. The evil aura kept tearing at her skin like demonic claws. There was a slight pain.

However, for some unknown reason, it was not as painful as the old man had said. Instead, the bloodline in her body slowly opened up and greedily absorbed this Spiritual Qi. In an instant, the weather changed!

Suddenly, she heard a gentle voice. “Inheritance—Art of Fire Luan!”

Bloodlust Pavilion.

“My Lord, this is the information we gathered from the Higher Domain.” A man dressed in black flew over and handed over the Communication Conch. He lowered his head and looked extremely respectful.

The man in green was currently closing his eyes and taking a nap. He leaned against the chair and knocked on it from time to time. His left hand played with a jade pendant, and his bewitching face was wearing half a mask.

If Ye Shu were to see this, she would definitely be astonished. Wasn’t this Bai Chen? Furthermore, he looked extremely similar to the man he saved last time!

“Yeah, you keep it.”

His clear voice was especially pleasant to the ears. After a while, he suddenly looked up. His eyes were captivating, and there was a faint smile on his devilishly handsome face.

His eyes were filled with disdain, and the oppressive aura of a person in a superior position arose spontaneously, causing the man in black to hold his breath, not daring to speak.

“How’s the Ye Family?”

The man went forward and put down the Communication Conch. After hesitating for a moment, he was about to speak when a loud voice came from afar. “My Lord! My Lord! The Ye family, the Ye family’s young lady is in trouble!”

Bang!

Bai Chen’s eyes were as cold as a storm of blood.. An oppressive aura enveloped him and the jade pendant he was playing with suddenly turned into dust!
