Chapter 343: Chapter 341: Oblivious to Death

Four Xuandan simultaneously breaking through at this moment would undoubtedly cause Xiao Ye’s strength to surge, reaching an alarming level.

"I’m really looking forward to it." Xiao Ye’s face was full of excitement, as he quickly composed his mind and clutched a dozen or so Mid-Grade Primordial Stones with both hands, charging forward with all his might.

Xiao Ye understood that the current levels of the four Xuandan were already very high. The amount of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi needed for their simultaneous breakthrough would definitely be terrifying. Moreover, this was a perilous process where one could not afford to be careless.

Boom!

The four Xuandan inside Xiao Ye’s body seemed to transform into four black holes, creating an immense devouring force that formed a vortex, frantically absorbing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

A sense of "hunger" spread throughout Xiao Ye’s body, causing all his meridians to tremble, with a trace of fresh blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

This was the manifestation of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi supply not keeping up with the rate of consumption.

"Absorb for me!"

Xiao Ye gritted his teeth and pushed the Four Profound Treasure Technique to its limits. Instantly, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi from within the Mid-Grade Primordial Stones turned into streaks of light, enveloping his body.

Fortunately, he had unlocked the Sealing of the Third Layer of the Time Tower, which allowed his speed of absorbing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to match that of someone with thirty acupoints, unparalleled in the True Spirit Continent.

After half an hour, the four Xuandan gradually stabilized, steadily ascending in level. The patterns on the Xuandan became more and more dazzling.

Outside Xiao Ye’s tent, the four massive pillars of light gradually receded. However, there were still pairs of shocked eyes looking this way because the commotion was simply too great.

Fortunately, this was the periphery of the mine vein. In addition, the four massive pillars of light disappeared rapidly, which did not attract the attention of the Eighteen Great Families, but it did cause a disturbance within the Ye Alliance.

"Did the Alliance Hierarch encounter an accident during his Cultivation? Otherwise, why would there be such a big commotion?" Ye Alliance members discussed in low voices outside Xiao Ye’s tent.

It was not until Long Chen walked over that the crowd dispersed.

"What level of Cultivation has Xiao Ye reached now?" Long Chen stood outside the tent, his gaze uncertain.

Xiao Ye, along with Xiao Teng, went to the Yan Family, resolving the Spirit Control Secret Technique on Xiao Teng, and returned safe and sound. This was very telling because he didn’t believe the Yan Family would be so amiable.

He went to inquire Xiao Teng, who only said indifferently: "You will know soon enough."

"Sigh, since Xiao Ye has secluded himself for only one day, I’ll wait a bit longer. I hope Xiao Ye doesn’t rashly approach the Jian Family and Tang Family," Long Chen shook his head and left.

Time passed, and the next day arrived.

Just as the Ye Alliance members were waiting for Xiao Ye to come out of seclusion and decide whether to stay or leave, suddenly above the Heaven, a languid young man arrived walking on air, exuding a powerful aura.

He wore expensive fine clothing, his robe fluttering with an embroidered "Tang" character on his chest, clearly someone from the Tang Family.

"Tang Family Young Master, Tang Hao!"

The Ye Alliance members quickly noticed the youth, and as soon as they saw his face, their expressions changed slightly. Many eyes also flashed with a glint of resentment.

In the conflict a few days ago, the Tang Family, leveraging the status of their Young Master, injured many Ye Alliance Martial Artists.

"You Ye Alliance still haven’t given up, staying here waiting to be annihilated?"

"Tomorrow, other families’ Void Martial Realm Experts will also arrive. Relying on a mere Void Martial Realm Ferocious Beast certainly won’t protect you." Tang Hao’s disdainful voice echoed throughout the Ye Alliance.

"What!"

Long Chen and other high-ranking members of the Ye Alliance were greatly shocked, their mood turning very heavy. The Tang Family and Jian Family’s two Void Martial Realm Experts had already caused severe losses. If a few more Void Martial Realm Experts were to come, what then?

"However, this Young Master is giving you an opportunity. As long as you seize it, you can not only stay in the Gale Territory but also share in the spoils. How about that?"

Seeing the worried expressions of the Ye Alliance members, Tang Hao’s face revealed a scheming smile.

"Dare I ask Young Master Tang Hao, what opportunity is it?" Long Chen’s eyes flickered as he asked quietly.

"It’s quite simple. Become a subsidiary force for my Tang Family, serve the Tang Family, and naturally, the Ye Alliance can gain enormous benefits!"

"After all, the Ye Alliance has only been established for a short time, with a very weak foundation; this is an opportunity for you." Tang Hao spoke haughtily.

"Subsidiary force!" Long Chen’s gaze darkened.

The original intention of founding the Ye Alliance was to help the Martial Artists of the Endless Sea, providing them with a haven. If they became a subsidiary force for the Tang Family, then would the Ye Alliance still be the Ye Alliance?

If Xiao Ye were present, he would definitely refuse.

Moreover, Long Chen was very clear, given the Eighteen Great Families’ disdain for the Martial Artists of the Endless Sea, after becoming a subsidiary force for the Tang Family, they would definitely be cannon fodder.

In fact, Long Chen’s guess was almost spot on.

What moved Tang Hao the most was the Ye Alliance having a Void Martial Realm Ferocious Beast, Little White. As for the others, he hardly valued them.

If he could subdue the Ye Alliance without spending a single soldier, it would be the best outcome. In his view, as long as Long Chen submitted, Little White would definitely follow.

After all, a Void Martial Realm Ferocious Beast willing to help the Ye Alliance so much—if there was no connection between Little White and Long Chen, he would absolutely not believe it.

With the Tang Family having two Void Martial Realm Combat Powers soon becoming preeminent among the Eighteen Great Families, the day was within reach.

"If these people don’t know what’s good for them, they can’t blame this Young Master for being merciless." Tang Hao sneered inwardly.

As the Ye Alliance members exchanged looks, Long Chen stepped forward and saluted Tang Hao: "Thank you for your kind intentions, Young Master Tang. I’m afraid our Ye Alliance doesn’t have the fortune to join the Tang Family."

Tang Hao’s eyebrows raised, his eyes flashing with intense coldness: "You are refusing me, do you know the consequences of refusing the Tang Family?"

Long Chen slightly frowned, having a great distaste for these insufferably arrogant Young Masters, he said indifferently: "It’s useless to say more. Please return, Young Master Tang."

"A bunch of lowlifes, I gave you a chance and you didn’t cherish it, don’t blame this Young Master then!"

The apathetic aura around Tang Hao dissipated, and with a wave of his hand, the heavens and earth changed color, and suddenly, numerous figures appeared out of thin air in the void, at least a hundred of them, each with an extremely powerful aura, sending a surging tide of cold murderous intent.

"Damn it, what has gotten into the Tang Family? Instead of mining veins, they’re actually targeting us!"

Long Chen was shocked and dismayed, he had not noticed when so many people had been hiding near Tang Hao.

"Prepare for battle, warriors of the Ye Alliance!" Long Chen bellowed, as a powerful force surged around him, but instead of charging forward, he quietly moved a few steps closer to Xiao Ye’s tent.

The most taboo thing for Martial Artists during cultivation and breakthroughs is to be interrupted.

"Long Chen, you go to meet the enemy, leave Xiao Ye to me, I won’t let anyone disturb him," a voice full of determination sounded at this moment.

Long Chen turned his head and saw Xiao Teng, with his black hair flying wildly, appearing by his side.

"Kill all these lowlifes for me!" At that moment, Tang Hao waved his hand, and the Tang Family Martial Artists behind him howled in unison, descending like meteors from the heavens and initiating slaughter amidst the Ye Alliance warriors, cold and merciless.

And thus, a battle began!

The Ye Alliance Martial Artists hadn’t expected the Tang Family to suddenly bring so many people. Moreover, their own cultivation was relatively weak, most of them not as strong as the Tang Family Martial Artists. In just a few breaths’ time, over twenty people had died, blood soaking the earth.

The survivors were also embroiled in a bitter fight.

It was here that the gap between the Ye Alliance and the Eighteen Great Families was revealed.

"Stop!"

Long Chen’s figure swept out rapidly, his heart bleeding. Those who had died were his people from the Ye Alliance, after all.

But Long Chen’s cultivation meant nothing here, any Martial Artist from the Tang Family could entangle him to the point where he could not free himself, constantly suppressing him.

"Little White, come out for me now, or everyone will be dead!" Long Chen let out a thunderous roar.

"Roar!"

As the words fell, a heaven-shaking roar resounded, causing the eardrums of the Tang Family warriors to ache and their hearts to tremble. Following that, a majestic Ferocious Beast rose up, its limbs stepping through the void, its terrifying aura sweeping across the Eight Desolates.

Puchi!

Puchi!

...

Little White, transformed into a bolt of lightning, burst forth, and immediately, the bodies of over twenty Tang Family warriors exploded, flesh and blood flying everywhere. Seeing this, the hearts of Ye Alliance warriors relaxed.

With Void Martial Realm’s Little White there, they were not afraid of the Tang Family.

However, Long Chen’s mood was still heavy.

The Tang Family weren’t fools. If they dared to come here, would they ignore Little White’s Void Martial Realm combat power?

"Hehe... Have you finally appeared? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. It’s good that you didn’t run away." Tang Hao gazed at the mighty Little White from the heavens, a savage smile suddenly appearing on his face.

He suddenly turned around and bowed to the void: "Grandfather, it’s your turn to make a move, capture this beast."

"What!"

Long Chen’s heart pounded furiously, a bad premonition spreading throughout his body. He realized he had been deceived. Tang Hao’s grandfather was a Void Martial Realm Expert of the Tang Family.

"These blood drops are barely enough for this old man to activate the Trapped Dragon Array." A slender Blue Robed Elder appeared silently.

Boom!

His hands formed complex Seal Techniques, and the ground suddenly shook violently.

Under Long Chen’s astonished gaze, the blood that had soaked into the ground unexpectedly formed into droplets, each suspending in the air, emitting an eerie crimson light.

"Activate the Trapped Dragon Needle!"

With a fierce shout from the elder, a blood-colored light rose between his palms, and the suspended blood droplets rapidly connected, forming blood-red chains weaving through the void, and directly bound Little White.

"Roar!"

Little White let out a pained howl, its form rapidly shrinking as it tried to break free, unaware that the blood-colored chains would also shrink, firmly binding it.

The faces of the Ye Alliance warriors were filled with panic. It turned out that the Tang Family has been plotting all along, and their target was indeed Little White.

"Don’t bother struggling, this array was specifically designed by me to capture you. With your strength, it is impossible for you to break free."

The elder said coldly, and with a grab of his large hand, he captured the now shrunken Little White in his grasp, leaving behind a message before turning to leave.

"Hao’er, I leave these people to you."

"Yes, Grandfather!" Tang Hao’s eyes gleamed with cruel light as he moved towards the Ye Alliance members, who were full of fear.

Without Little White, the Ye Alliance was nothing in his eyes, free to be slaughtered at will.

"A bunch of lowlifes dare to defy this Young Master, it’s too late for regrets now," Tang Hao laughed wildly, diving down.

"You... what are you worth? Even if my Ye Alliance people are lowlifes, they are a thousand, no, ten thousand times nobler than you, and you dare to touch them? You’re utterly ignorant of death!"

Just then, a cold voice spread through the heaven and earth, and a black-robed youth began to walk over step by step.
