The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 598 - 258: Destruction and Healing_3

Ye Xueman’s death will inevitably cause a series of drastic changes.

All the Death Servants bound to her would not survive either.

Then, the Curse lurking within her body would be forcibly activated, naturally targeting Ye Liuying, the killer.

Because they were in the Ghost Lamp Abyss, equivalent to the Ye Clan’s headquarters.

It would not be difficult to have an Elder probe into the death of a clansman.

However--the tradition of the Ye Clan has always been to determine life and death by the Blood Halberd’s fight.

After the prober confirmed this, they immediately withdrew, and thus nothing happened.

"Ye Hanjun, you remembered me, didn’t you?"

The taut atmosphere was still lingering, the one to break the silence was still that crisp voice.

Ye Hanjun scratched his uneasy head a bit.

Looking up, he saw the girl from his memory, who had become more and more beautiful.

Tall—about 1.75 meters.

Her black hair casually draped over her shoulders, a pair of black pupils, were like two clear and transparent gems.

Her delicate porcelain-like face, straight nose, small lips, more graceful than a flower.

Despite her fine figure, others defined her as uncommon in the world due to her natural grace. Light as a butterfly, elegant as a plum, even rolling her eyes unconsciously made people want to look twice.

"I might forget anyone, but I can’t possibly forget you."

A long-lost headache reappeared in his mind.

Ye Hanjun blinked, trying to make his expression as friendly as possible.

Ye Liuying rolled her eyes again, said ’oh’, without caring if there were others around, she flatly put out her right hand:

"Where’s my gift?"

"If you come back late and don’t have a gift prepared, be careful of getting hit."

As she said this, Ye Liuying was sizing up her fist, very serious.

"Sigh, we’ve indeed grown estranged."

Ye Hanjun pretended to sigh, and his gaze focused back on the three of Ye Hu:

"Let’s deal with these guys first, and I have a great gift for you!"

"Don’t brag, how many times have you tricked me before?"

Ye Liuying didn’t believe him, yet she still turned around and stepped closer towards the three of Ye Hu.

*Hiss!!*

The atmosphere became tense again as Ye Hu suddenly pulled out the Blood Scroll, dropping his blood, and forcibly activating the Blood Halberd.

His target was Ye Hanjun, as the chilling aura rolled around him, a bright red ’Ye’ character blocked out the sun and sky.

Ye Hanjun stopped in his tracks, lowered his head, and looked at the blood light on his body.

When it entwined around Ye Liu, the blood light completely covered his body, leaving almost no gaps.

But when it entwined around him, the blood light was as thin as mist, full of holes.

"Ye Hanjun, do you dare to Blood Halberd with me?"

"With your casual attitude, I fear you must have ascended to the 5th rank, haven’t you? Would you dare to fight with me on the same rank?"

"Are you out of your mind?"

Ye Hanjun pointed at the other party’s head, then put his fingers together, like brushing off dust, and shook off the blood light on his body.

In an instant, the blood light rolled back, the ’Ye’ character in the sky returned to Ye Hu’s body at an even faster speed.

"Give it a break, how much older are you than me, twenty? Thirty? Forty?"

"How arrogant am I to skip so many minor levels to Blood Halberd with you?"

Ye Hanjun sneered, moving his heart, and suddenly pointed at Ye Liuying:

"Speaking of which, you’re pretty audacious."

"Under the circumstance where you’ve already fought a battle, theoretically, you could refuse the Blood Halberd, so why did you agree to it?"

"They were too annoying."

Ye Liuying played with her hair strands, carelessly said:

"Well, I’ve been stuck at the 4th order for a while now."

"By borrowing some pressure to ascend to the 5th rank, I’m rid of the nuisance now, isn’t that great?"

"I was wondering."

Ye Hanjun understood, "I didn’t think you were dumb, how then did you get into such a dangerous situation?"

"So, you lured them in for an ambush...as clever as ever."

"Enough."

Ye Liuying rolled her eyes for the third time, "These past few years when you were away, these people kept annoying me, I’ve been putting up with this for a while."

"I don’t get it, if you have a problem with him, go pick on him. Why bother me? I didn’t do anything to you."

"Are you two siblings putting on an act?"

Ye Min sneered, "Neither you nor him has ever directly provoked us."

"But Ye Hanjun arrogantly demanded the inheritance of our ancestor."

"And you, the one who received the inheritance, not only failed to have an Active Awakening, but you also didn’t even get any recognition from the Young King, how ridiculous."

"Indeed."

Ye Hu, who couldn’t participate in the Blood Halberd, suddenly laughed:

"If you don’t dare to fight, just admit it. No need for all this talk."

"Let’s face it, as long as you carry the name ’Ye,’ there will be an endless stream of people coming to cause you trouble."

"Today, Ye Liuying killed Ye Xueman. When her sister returns from the secret territory, the two of you should prepare to face her wrath. She loves her sister dearly and will seek revenge at any cost."

"Really?" Ye Hanjun lifted his chin, "If memory serves me right, Ye Xuezhu, like me, is only a Young King."

"Apart from being older, which led to her Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits ranking above me, does she have any other superior qualities?"

"Ye Hanjun, I have no interest in arguing with you."

Ye Hu coldly replied: "No matter how you put it, Ye Xuezhu is still a Young King."

"In a battle of equals, Ye Min and I combined wouldn’t be her match."

"And you have offended more than just one Young King. Ye Shan, Ye Yunruo, Ye Buchun...How many people dislike you, do you need me to list them all for you?"

"Go ahead."

Ye Liuying interjected:

"Why don’t you list them all for me? I’ll take note and take them out one by one."

"?"

Ye Hu was momentarily stunned, not really sure how to respond.

Upon realizing he was being mocked, he suppressed his anger and sneered:

"You two are incorrigible."

"If you’re not going to list them, save your breath!"

Ye Liuying cut off Ye Hu, and unusually revealed a cold demeanor:

"Ye Chenmu, you lost the Blood Halberd to me. Even if you surrendered willingly, you still lost. I haven’t even made any demands yet."

"Let’s make it this way, anything too excessive, you might not listen, so I’ll ask you and your guards to temporarily stand on our side. Chase these two out of my territory, then leave immediately and stay far away. Don’t bother me in the near future, alright?"

...

After a moment of silence, Ye Chenmu slowly walked over to Ye Liuying and Ye Hanjun.

He took a deep breath and looked helplessly at his two elder siblings:

"The rules are as such, I can’t go against them."

"We were thoroughly defeated today, let’s leave. No reason to stay here and make fools of ourselves."

"Hold on."

Ye Hanjun interrupted:

"The moment you two leave, more people are going to find out that I moved here."

"I don’t want to constantly be disturbed by your nonsense. You guys surely don’t have the leisure to neglect your cultivation and focus all your attention on me, right?"

Ye Hanjun glanced sideways, with a hint of impoliteness:

"Help me spread the word that if anyone has a problem with me, they can feel free to find me at the upcoming dragon hunting tournament."

"Dragon hunting?" Ye Chenmu was surprised.

Ye Hu and Ye Min were taken aback, then revealed a cruel smile:

"You said that yourself. Just make sure you don’t become a coward and sed post a false message to delay time."

"I wouldn’t stoop to your methods."

Ye Hanjun waved his hand as if chasing away flies:

"Alright, you guys can get lost now."

"If you dare to intrude on my territory and harass Liuying or me, I’ll camp out in your territories. Then we can see who’s more ruthless and settle the score once and for all."
