Chapter 786: 786 Long live Miss Ye! [2 more Chapters]

In the silent expanse of heaven and earth, the sound lingered endlessly.

Clearly, the tone was very calm, without any fluctuations, yet every word was deafening.

Swearing by Shenzhou, and it’s a blood oath.

Once the vow is made, it cannot be altered.

All those present were shocked that Ye Wanlan made such a vow without hesitation. How many could achieve this?

"Good!" The Great Elder Xiang shouted, "Miss Ye has such courage. We shall not trouble ourselves with petty matters. From today, the Xiang Family regards Miss Ye as supreme!"

With these words, Xiang Shaoyu not only wasn’t angry but was rather pleased: "Great Elder, you’re the most sensible."

Great Elder Xiang: "...?"

He was many years older than Xiang Shaoyu, yet a child called him sensible.

"Xiang Shaoyu, no manners, no respect for elders!" The Great Elder Xiang said grumpily, "If you had half of Miss Ye’s caliber, I wouldn’t scold you."

Xiang Shaoyu still didn’t get angry, smiling, "Then, thank you, Great Elder, for praising Miss Ye."

"You..." The Great Elder Xiang was fuming.

Were it not for so many people watching, he would have definitely kicked him.

"Our Su Family, too, shall prioritize Ah Lan." Su Xueqing stepped forward with a resolute voice, "For Shenzhou, we are willing to sacrifice!"

Su Family Disciples showed excitement on their faces and said in unison, "For Shenzhou, we are willing to sacrifice!"

Huo Yunyi slowly knelt on one knee, offering a grand salute: "The Huo Family seeks Miss Ye’s guidance!"

"Miss Ye has already cultivated the Heavenly Music Method to the Eighth Level, far surpassing us." The Great Elder of the Lin family bowed, "Not to mention the Patriarch of the Lin family, even the position of Supreme Elder is one Miss Ye deserves."

"In the old days, the Supreme Elder of the Rong Family had already predicted that Miss Ye is Heaven’s chosen, who would trigger an unprecedented upheaval in Shenzhou for a millennium." Rong Qi smiled faintly, "Now, everyone can see."

This statement further solidified the determination of everyone to follow Ye Wanlan.

The matters seen by the Supreme Elder of the Rong Family were undoubtedly genuine.

Moreover, the strength of Ye Wanlan was visible to all.

The Five Great Families, who had been in conflict for three hundred years, miraculously united at this moment.

A moment ago, this was unfathomable to anyone.

There were conflicts of interest even within families, not to mention among five families together?

"I have cleared the Xiang Family’s culprits. The rest of the matters are left to each family’s discretion." Ye Wanlan handed over a list to Xiang Shaoyu, lifting her head, "From today, all Xiang, Huo, and Lin family members capable of battle will receive intense training, preparing for future threats."

"Yes!"

"The Su and Rong families must not slack in their training either." Ye Wanlan said slowly, "Healers and fortune tellers will be the strongest support for martial artists."

With Shenzhou at the forefront, the Six Great Sects have always been an inseparable entity.

Only by dispelling disunity can the Five Great Families unite to fend off foreign threats.

After delegating the subsequent tasks to Xiang Shaoyu and others, Ye Wanlan departed the training ground.

As soon as she left the training ground, she coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Ah Lan!" Hua Yingyue rushed forward in alarm, "What happened?"

"It’s nothing." Ye Wanlan smiled faintly, "Just a moment of anger, a little rest will do."

"Those few bastards you killed, you were too lenient with them." Xiang Mingyu took a deep breath, "If it were during my reign, all forms of torture would be used on them once."

The descendants of the Xiang Imperial Family, and yet such despicable people emerged.

They were well-deserved of death!

"Aunt, don’t be upset." Ye Wanlan raised her eyebrows, "At least, things are moving in a positive direction now. We may have a winning chance in the future."

Xiang Mingyu was stunned for a moment, and finally, a smile broke through.

Indeed, at least hope has sprouted.

A single spark can start a prairie fire.

Ye Wanlan returned to her room and soon fell into a deep sleep.

When she awoke again, three days had passed.

In these three days, the Su, Huo, Rong, and Lin families purged their internal disturbers, cleansing from top to bottom.

"Miss Ye." Outside the door, Rong Qi gently knocked, "Did you summon me?"

Ye Wanlan responded: "Enter."

With a creak, Rong Qi pushed the door open and stepped inside.

Ye Wanlan looked up and got straight to the point: "Do you know about Tingting having the Life-Devouring Gu in her?"

Rong Qi was startled: "Life-Devouring Gu?"

Ye Wanlan’s eyes narrowed slightly: "You didn’t know?"

"Indeed, I did not know." Rong Qi murmured, "The Life-Devouring Gu is one of the three Supreme Gu. Jianghu records show that the Puppet Gu and The Thousand-Form Parasite had appeared before, but the Life-Devouring Gu, the crown of the Supreme Gu, had vanished without a trace."

"Understood." Ye Wanlan closed her eyes slightly, "Tingting is still in seclusion. I’ve left him a message. His health is poor, so do not let him seek me in Atlantis."

Rong Qi sighed with a wry smile: "This is not something I can decide."

"Before I leave, I will work with Xueqing to refine enough elixirs." Ye Wanlan continued, "You must supervise Tingting and make sure he takes them."

Yue Zheng said that the Life-Devouring Gu will continuously devour the host’s vitality until the host’s death.

But she is determined to prolong Yan Tingfeng’s life.

Going to Atlantis this time, aside from searching for He Jia, she also aims to find a way to remove the Life-Devouring Gu without harming Yan Tingfeng.

Rong Qi silently nodded.

May everything go smoothly.

**

At present, Global Center, Extreme Path Headquarters.

"Why hasn’t Boss woken up yet?" Right Protector chewed on a stalk of foxtail grass, "The big boss is about to head to Atlantis. If Boss doesn’t follow, then when he opens his eyes, won’t the phone screen saver be gone?"

"Shh, the big boss told us not to disturb Boss’s seclusion." Left Protector placed a finger on his lips, "If we interrupt his seclusion and make him go berserk, who could bear such a responsibility?"

Right Protector fell silent.

They had no understanding of Yan Tingfeng’s physical condition.

Both he and Left Protector were orphans, taken in by Yan Tingfeng, who gave them a foothold at the Global Center.

Over the years, they had done some crazy things, alarming the Heaven-reaching Tower, but Yan Tingfeng always cleaned up the mess.

Right Protector never thought about what would happen if one day the Jidao Sect Leader wasn’t around.

"Fortunately, we got the news that the Sky Tower Master has also entered a closed seclusion." Left Protector exhaled deeply, "The Heaven-reaching Tower is now in a closed state, and the Roundtable Conference is suspended, so at least for a few years to come, there won’t be major changes at the Global Center."

They must ensure Yan Tingfeng’s smooth emergence from seclusion.

Inside the secret chamber, Yan Tingfeng sat cross-legged, eyes tightly shut.

His aura was extremely weak, his breathing barely audible, with his heart beating only once every few tens of seconds.

Chilling air enveloped the surroundings, cold and piercing.

Only Yan Tingfeng knew the extent of the damage caused by forcibly drawing his blade to kill Ouya.

He should have died three hundred years ago. The only reason he awakened was that his body was frozen for three hundred years and was inflicted with the Life-Devouring Gu.

Otherwise, he couldn’t have held on till now.

Every time he exerted his power, every use of his inner strength, every major emotional fluctuation accelerated the physical collapse.

Moreover, the closer he got to death, the more active the Life-Devouring Gu became, further consuming his flesh.

Yet, Yan Tingfeng had to kill Ouya. Without doing so, there was no way to deter the Heaven-reaching Tower.

Even if it only bought a few years of protection, he was willing.

He had never been afraid of death, but he deeply cherished life.

Black-red patterns surfaced on Yan Tingfeng’s skin, his body trembling violently, evidently on the brink of collapse.

Blood trickled down from the corner of his lips, each drop startling to behold.

Was he really about to... reach his limit?

No...

He hadn’t even opened his eyes to bid farewell to Ye Wanlan, nor had he fully completed his mission.

Still, with his eyes closed, Yan Tingfeng subdued the wildly active Life-Devouring Gu within him.

In the depths of his soul’s sea, he was enduring tremendous torment.

"Tower Master." At this time, a voice slowly emerged from directly in front of him, someone said softly, "Your body has finally reached its limit."
