The several Jiang Clan guards exchanged glances.
Others might fear the Xu Family, but they represented the Jiang Clan!
The silver-armored Saint leading them stepped forward, sweeping his long spear out. He unleashed the power of a Saint, his Aura like a rainbow, instantly binding Xu Qing. Divine Power converged into chains, nailing him in the Void Realm.
He sneered, saying:
“Oh? The Ancient Xu Family’s second sequence?”
“What a grand title, what great prestige!”
“Arrest him!”
Just then.
Jiang Ye slowly emerged from the Void Realm, his figure not yet arrived, but a chill had already enveloped the entire Spirit Pool Sky Mountain.
“Your Highness the Divine Son!”
“Greetings, Divine Son!”
After the several Jiang Clan guards recognized the newcomer, they all bowed in salute.
Xu Qing, however, ignored them, a hint of surprise in his eyes as he looked at Jiang Ye.
“Divine Son of the Jiang Clan? Quickly tell your dog to release me! If you dare to touch me, I will make your Jiang Clan pay the price!”
“Otherwise, when my clan’s Old Ancestor arrives, he will surely ensure you die without a burial place!”
Jiang Ye stood high in the sky, his black robe fluttering, his expression lazy yet unfathomable. He gazed at Xu Qing, a hint of amused interest in his eyes, a faint, cold smile playing on his lips.
His behavior was eccentric, his words crude.
It was very much like Xu Yang’s previous demeanor.
Before, it was the fourth sequence who provoked and humiliated him, and now it was the second sequence stealing things at Spirit Pool Sky Mountain, so arrogant and presumptuous.
Jiang Ye was now almost certain that someone was stirring up discord from behind the scenes.
He also thought of Xu Qiye.
But it seemed like a mismatch, after all, it was Su Hongye who dug out his Supreme Bone back then.
Why would he set a trap for the Xu Family?
Jiang Ye pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand, took out a jet-black recording stone, and casually tossed it into the Void Realm. Spiritual light flickered, recording the scene.
He looked at Xu Qing, a hint of mockery and playfulness in his eyes.
“You're openly stealing my clan’s Holy Land treasure, yet you’re quite unyielding?”
“Come, continue, say those words again.”
Xu Qing’s face was distorted, as if truly enraged, and he immediately began to curse, reviling the entire Jiang Clan, and directly stating that Jiang Ye was unworthy of being a Divine Son.
His curses were like a tide, his tone hysterical, yet it also revealed a trace of deliberate calmness and probing.
Jiang Ye’s eyes flickered slightly, and he did not stop him. Instead, he subtly guided his words to become even more presumptuous.
Xu Qing, as expected, continued to curse:
“So what if I stole something from your Jiang Clan today?”
“What can you do to me? Do you dare to touch my Ancient Xu Family?!”
“Believe it or not, tomorrow will be the day your Jiang Clan perishes!”
At this moment, these extremely arrogant words were clearly etched onto the recording stone.
Jiang Ye’s expression was indifferent.
Now, even if he killed Xu Qing, the Xu Family could only accept it and would even have to apologize.
Although Xu Qing cursed fiercely, his words contained an abnormal calmness, as if he didn't care about the consequences at all.
Just like Xu Yang.
His Divine Soul was extremely dim, yet he was still able to leap and jump around. Most likely, it was also a soul in a shell.
Jiang Ye’s gaze was like lightning, thoughts swirling in his mind, yet he showed no trace on his face.
He slowly raised his right hand, Divine Radiance gathering at his fingertips, like a rising sun. Blazing and sacred light surged in his palm, illuminating the surrounding Void Realm.
Radiant Divine King Finger!
Once this finger was unleashed, it would destroy the Origin of souls and sever all spirits!
“Hahaha!”
Xu Qing’s expression showed a hint of madness, completely unafraid.
Jiang Ye’s finger had already descended.
Divine light pierced through his body!
Boom!
Xu Qing was pierced through by a single finger, and even that ethereal remnant soul was completely annihilated in the sacred spiritual radiance!
There were no screams, no struggles, as if he had been completely erased from this world.
A dead silence.
At this moment, a crisp System notification sound rang in Jiang Ye’s ears:
【Ding! The Protagonist of Destiny, Xu Qiye, has lost a part of his Divine Soul Origin, and his Luck value has decreased by 2000 points!】
【Villain Value + 2000!】
In this instant, all clues connected in Jiang Ye’s mind.
Xu Yang, Xu Qing, both Xu Family sequences were souls in shells, and the one manipulating all of this was actually Xu Qiye?
His mouth twitched.
For a moment, he couldn't quite understand what kind of scheme this was.
Shouldn't the Ancient Xu Family be his backing?
Previously, Jiang Ye had thought that Xu Qiye’s disappearance back then was because the Xu Family had hidden him.
Now it seemed there was another hidden reason.
“How strange!”
“Could it be that the Xu Family has a grudge against this Xu Qiye?”
Jiang Ye’s thoughts stirred, but his eyes grew even colder.
Now that it was confirmed that Xu Qiye was the mastermind, things would be easier.
Jiang Ye had already figured out a countermeasure for his future actions.
Whatever the Protagonist of Destiny wanted to do, he would simply prevent him from succeeding.
This Xu Qiye wanted to provoke a conflict between the Jiang Clan and the Xu Family, didn't he?
Then he would expose the matter, making him the target of public criticism! And make him break with the Xu Family!
He turned around, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding guards, and said in a deep voice: “Insulting my Jiang Clan, he deserves to die!”
As he finished speaking, Jiang Ye flicked his sleeve, his figure disappearing like the wind.
The several guards recovered, exchanged glances, and then became incredibly excited.
“His Highness the Divine Son is indeed domineering, well killed!”
“What Ancient Xu Family? How dare they be presumptuous in front of my Jiang Clan?”
“It should be like this, let’s see who else dares to offend the dignity of my Jiang Clan!”
Some shouted excitedly, others respectfully watched Jiang Ye’s departing direction, their eyes filled with awe... Jiang Ye returned to the Divine Son Palace.
He was not in a hurry to deal with the aftermath; he already had a plan in mind.
“Since Xu Qiye wants to play dirty, then This Divine Son will play along with you.”
Jiang Ye’s lips curved into a playful arc, and profound light flickered in his golden eyes: “However, provoking the dignity of my Jiang Clan repeatedly, don't let me find your true body.”
He then took out a previously prepared list, on which the required rare immortal Materials were numerous and all of immeasurable value.
He said softly: “Go to the clan’s Nine Heavens Immortal Court Treasury and retrieve the immortal Materials listed on this list.”
As this command was issued, those waiting in the outer hall immediately looked serious and respectfully agreed before leaving.
The Elder managers of the Nine Heavens Immortal Court Treasury were all shaken when they received the Divine Son Jiang Ye’s order.
What the Divine Son needed was the clan’s top priority; they had to find every possible way to gather them, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
Soon, the entire Jiang Clan began to move.
Immortal birds flapped their wings, spiritual boats broke through the air, countless Disciple messengers shuttled through the clan grounds, stewards personally unsealed ancestral treasuries, activated forbidden formations, and searched for immortal Materials.
In just under half a day, precious Materials, resplendent with immortal light and flowing with Dao rhyme, were continuously sent into the Divine Son Palace.
Outside the hall, spiritual mist steamed, like a galaxy pouring down.
“Azure Radiance Divine Liquid, Primordial Xuan Guang Vine, Grand Unity Divine Marrow, Nine Nether Lotus Seeds…”
One by one, immortal Materials flew out from jade boxes, their light like the sun and moon shining together, their spiritual essence soaring to the sky. Many clan members watched from afar, marveling endlessly.
These divine objects.
All of them were Heaven And Earth Treasures that were hard to come by in the outside world, rumored to be able to nurture divine fetuses, temper bodies and souls, and contain the Foundation of the Great Dao.
Especially these Azure Radiance Divine Liquid.
They were sent by the Ancient Immortal Court a few days ago as an apology. They possessed a spirit-nurturing effect that surpassed immortal marrow and could catalyze the Origin of the Dao fetus.
【Ding! A special refinable injection substance, Azure Radiance Divine Liquid, has been discovered! It can offset the exclusive Villain Points used for the Radiant God King Body!】
【One drop of Azure Radiance Divine Liquid can offset 500 Villain Points. Does the host wish to refine it?】
