Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1360 - 1360 1319 Ye Zhen

1360: Chapter 1319: Ye Zhen 1360: Chapter 1319: Ye Zhen How peculiar.

Of all times, it was right when the Nine Spirits Primordial Saint warned him that the old man guarding Tianyuan Mountain vanished without a trace.

Lu Chuan couldn’t help but connect the two occurrences.

Either Ye Jiaxin’s second grandfather also sensed the upheaval of the dragon vein and went deep into it to investigate,

or this upheaval was entirely his doing.

Regardless of which, it would be quite troublesome.

Ye Jiaxin is currently only at Golden Core First Layer, her cultivation isn’t stable yet.

Having her stay here wouldn’t help much, and Lu Chuan might even have to divide his attention to protect her.

It would be better for her to temporarily hide.

But Ye Jiaxin clearly didn’t want to separate from Lu Chuan and flatly rejected his proposal.

“I—I can take care of myself!”

“But it’s very dangerous here, even I can’t guarantee I’ll leave unscathed.

For now, you should leave.

If I find the situation unfavorable, I’ll retreat as well.

This is the best plan.

Listen to me.”

Meeting Lu Chuan’s gaze, Ye Jiaxin pursed her lips.

Although reluctant, she obediently nodded and headed off along the ridge.

After confirming that Ye Jiaxin wasn’t secretly defying him and her presence had completely disappeared from Tianyuan Mountain, Lu Chuan finally exhaled in relief before turning toward the cave.

To be truthful, just standing at the cave entrance, Lu Chuan already felt a tremendous sense of oppression, almost suffocating him.

Clearly, asking Ye Jiaxin to leave first was a wise choice.

After adjusting his breath slightly, Lu Chuan didn’t hesitate further and directly stepped into the cave.

In a moment of disorientation, Lu Chuan felt as if he had broken through some kind of restriction.

The spiritual power within his body froze briefly; though it quickly returned to normal, he still took note of this change.

“Have I been discovered?

As expected, the problem lies within the dragon vein.”

He proceeded deeper into the cave, which grew darker and darker inside.

Lu Chuan had no choice but to surround himself with the Divine Fire of the Sun, emitting a warm orange-yellow light to illuminate the surroundings.

No one knew how far he had walked, but eventually, the path ahead abruptly disappeared, replaced by a vertical shaft leading downward into who-knows-where.

The road had reached its end.

If he wanted to go further, he could only jump down.

At this stage, there was no turning back.

How could Lu Chuan retreat at such a crucial moment?

After leaping down, Lu Chuan felt increasing dizziness during his rapid descent, as if something was wreaking havoc inside his mind, making him dazed.

It wasn’t until the Sutra Pagoda Spirit alerted him that Lu Chuan snapped back to consciousness.

Boom!

With a muffled crash, Lu Chuan finally landed on solid ground.

As he stood and looked around, countless corpses were piled here, a sight so horrifying it made one’s blood run cold!

“What in the world…

happened here?”

The mountain of white bones scattered across the ground, the long-dried blood stains, and the lingering salty stench in the air all proclaimed that this was indeed a hell on earth.

“Is this… truly the dragon vein’s true form?”

“Lu Chuan, the Nine Spirits Primordial Saint asked me to warn you, there are two presences here—one human, and the other… even he can’t discern.

You must be extra cautious.”

“Hmm…”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, his expression growing increasingly grim.

Stepping over the white bones, he continued forward, heading toward the single faint shimmer of light ahead.

With each step, it felt as though he was crossing endless piles of skeletal remains.

Even someone like Lu Chuan, who had seen much of the world, couldn’t help but feel a chill run down his spine in the face of such a sinister scene.

Suddenly, Lu Chuan heard a faint sigh—a sound that seemed to arise directly inside his mind.

When he snapped back to awareness, a figure had already blocked his path.

“Mr.

Lu Chuan, I thought we had an agreement.

After taking so many of my Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, you would no longer interfere in the Ye Family’s matters.

Yet here you are again.

Not only that, you dared to set foot in this place.”

Lu Chuan turned toward the voice, and Ye Chongshan’s visage came into view.

“I’m merely fulfilling someone’s request.

Should I call you Ye Chongshan or Ye Zhen?”

“Hmm… Let me guess.

It was that little girl, Ye Jiaxin, who told you?”

“More or less.

Although seeing you now has clarified many things for me.

Guarding but plundering?

Ye Zhen, have you not betrayed Old Master Ye’s trust in you?”

“Him?

Heh, he’s nothing but an old man who relied on being decades older than me to snatch away the position of Family Head that should have been mine and shove me into a place like this.

Trust?

That’s complete nonsense!”

Ye Zhen’s expression grew darker.

Since his identity had already been exposed, he decided to drop the pretense and dispelled his Facial Transformation Technique to reveal his true face.

It was strikingly similar to Old Master Ye’s, though his features were sterner and more youthful.

“In terms of talent and ability, I surpassed him in every way!

Why should everything be handed to him just because he was born first?

It’s unfair!

I’ve guarded the dragon vein for a century.

Do you know what that feels like?

Being confined to Tianyuan Mountain, waiting endlessly, enduring the solitude!

I’ve grown sick of those hypocritical rules and rituals.”

As he spoke, Ye Zhen lifted his head, revealing a twisted, malicious grin.

“But now, Ye Jing is dead, and there’s no one left in the Ye Family who can stand in my way!

I will bring transformation to the Ye Family, rebirth!

Of course, it will be through becoming my nourishment, aiding my breakthrough to the Spirit Splitting Realm!

And you?

You’re merely an insignificant variable, unqualified to stop me!”

As his words fell, Ye Zhen struck with a palm.

Spiritual power surged and hurtled toward Lu Chuan!

Seeing this, Lu Chuan dared not underestimate the attack.

The Divine Fire of the Sun swept forth, transforming into a Flame Spear that shot out and collided with the Spirit Void Palm, generating an ear-piercing explosion!

“You had the chance to remain uninvolved, Lu Chuan.

But since you insist on courting death, don’t blame me for this!”

The spiritual power of a Nascent Soul cultivator?

The Fortune Devouring Gu will savor it greatly!”

Ye Zhen licked his lips and lunged forward, turning into a blur as he activated a spell and aimed directly for Lu Chuan’s forehead!

“Array, rise!”

The Little Tower trembled, and the phantom of the Demon Suppression Pagoda enveloped both Lu Chuan and Ye Zhen.

The radiant light surged like a flood but was shattered by Ye Zhen’s finger, allowing him to close the distance and plant a Gu insect on Lu Chuan’s shoulder!

But how could Lu Chuan come unprepared?

He had ignited the Nine Heavens Profound Fire from his Spirit Vein Seed, effortlessly incinerating the Gu insect to ashes.

The refined spiritual power was immediately absorbed and purified by Lu Chuan!

Witnessing this, Ye Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly, clearly taken aback.

He had considered the possibility that Lu Chuan might prove difficult to handle, but after probing him, he found himself entirely unable to gain the upper hand—a fact that left Ye Zhen somewhat stunned.

No doubt, breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm at such a young age surely had its reasons.

With this realization, Ye Zhen stopped his assault, clasped his hands behind his back, and stared straight at Lu Chuan.

“Mr.

Lu Chuan, I don’t believe there’s an unsolvable grudge between us.

How about this: you can take whatever you desire, as long as you’re willing to leave and not interfere further in this matter.”
