129: The Ye Family Conspiracy

“This…” Ye Hongchen, a dignified Half-Step Emperor Venerable expert, was dumbfounded and felt a chill down his spine.

The Dragon Clan, within the Ten Thousand Realms, has consistently ranked among the top twenty for years. Since ancient times, they have never fallen out of the top one hundred, a super overlord race that roars across the Ten Thousand Realms, immensely powerful, and one of the oldest and most ancient races in existence.

And one must know that the entire Hengtian Continent, combined with the Hengtian Realm, known as the Hengtian Human Clan, could only barely squeeze into the top one hundred, ranking ninety-ninth.

This was only achieved after the Saint Heaven Sect rose to become the strongest Sect on the continent and gained fame in the Ten Thousand Realms.

One can imagine the power of the Dragon Clan.

One can imagine the impact on Ye Hongchen when he heard Ye Tianxiong's words, that the Chu Family dared to capture and dissect the Dragon Clan for research.

“Ye Tianxiong, you can't just say such things.” Ye Hongchen's face turned pale.

Dissecting the Dragon Clan for research is a taboo. If it were true, the entire Saint Heaven Sect would bear immense pressure, even facing the danger of annihilation.

The pressure from such a massive ancient overlord race would make the entire Hengtian Realm tremble, let alone the Saint Heaven Sect.

“Second Uncle, when I traveled the Ten Thousand Realms, in the Myriad Realms Ruins, I encountered Chu Shicheng, the Old Ancestor of the Chu Family, who had disappeared for a thousand years.” Ye Tianxiong's eyes were heavily bloodshot.

“Chu Shicheng, Chu Tian King’s grandfather?” Ye Hongchen was shocked, “Didn't rumors say he had fallen?”

“No, he was trapped in an ancient ruin. I rescued him and immediately suppressed him, using various Demon Race soul-searching methods to forcibly search his Divine Soul.”

Ye Tianxiong smiled coldly, his eyes filled with a sinister intent: “Unfortunately, a Half-Step Heavenly Venerable has already undergone the ultimate Nirvana sublimation, and their Divine Soul is naturally formed. I used every method, but I only managed to gather some scattered information from his Divine Soul, including the secret of the Yanluo Temple, and then his Divine Soul disintegrated.

I secretly leaked this information to Liu Zheng at that time, hoping to use his connection with the Chu Family to gather evidence of the Yanluo Temple.

It was originally a great situation.

As long as I had this evidence, I would have the Chu Family's Achilles' heel and lifeline.

But after Liu Zheng got the evidence, he refused to give it to me, wanting to play both sides.”

At this point, a strong sense of unwillingness surged in Ye Tianxiong's eyes: “Who knew, before I even had a chance to figure out how to get this evidence, that little beast Chu Tian seemed to have changed into a different person, directly suppressing the Liu Family, imprisoning Liu Zheng, and locking him in the Yanluo Temple, and the clue to the evidence was gone.”

“My entire plan was disrupted.”

Ye Hongchen frowned slightly, asking Ye Tianxiong what to do since there was no evidence.

“Such matters cannot be spoken lightly. They have a huge impact on the interests of the entire Sect, akin to betrayal. If exposed, our Ye Family will truly be finished,” Ye Hongchen said with concern.

“They forced me to do this.”

Ye Tianxiong's eyes were bloodshot, with a hint of hysteria: “If they don't let my Ye Family live in peace and keep pressing, then don't blame me for dragging them down with me.

Although I don't have evidence in hand.

With the Dragon Clan's overbearing nature, as long as this news gets out, the Dragon God Sect, the Legacy left by the Dragon Clan in our Hengtian Realm, will definitely send people to confirm, and even the Old Dragons from the Dragon Realm will come.

As long as the Chu Family can't withstand the pressure and an investigation begins, the truth will surely be revealed.

Even if the Chu Family withstands the pressure, they will inevitably offend the Dragon God Sect and the Dragon Clan. At that time, those who trim their sails will have to think carefully before siding with the Chu Family, considering whether the Dragon Clan and the Dragon God Sect are easy to provoke.”

Ye Hongchen pondered for a moment, his face gradually turning sinister, and said, “This is feasible. I remember, Ye Tianxiong, that you are good friends with the Dragon Lord of the Dragon God Sect. When facing immense pressure, the Chu Family will probably ask you to mediate.”

“As long as the Chu Family, and even the entire Sect, seek our help, our Ye Family's crisis will be immediately resolved by more than half.”

“What an audacious Chu Family, daring to imprison so many supreme Divine Dragons.”

Ye Hongchen's eyes were extremely cold: “At this point, for the sake of the Family, we can only sacrifice some Sect interests. I believe the ancestors of the Ye Family will understand, and the ancestral teachings must also be flexible.”

“The Chu Family was merciless first, so don't blame my Ye Family for being disloyal.”

“Ye Tianxiong, I will handle the Elder Council for now. You go contact the Dragon Lord. I will tell the Elder Council that you have gained some insights and entered seclusion, delaying for as long as possible.”

“Understood!” Ye Tianxiong said hoarsely: “Second Uncle, you must also pay close attention to the matters concerning the Lord of Deadly Poison; he must not fall into Chu Tian King's hands.”

Ye Tianxiong, his eyes bloodshot, glanced at Holy Emperor Peak, then turned and disappeared into the darkness.

...

One day later.

Moyun City, County Governor's Mansion.

“Hoo!”

Chu Tian opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath. The rich Dao contained within it transformed into a Divine Dragon, winding into the sky outside the window, spewing clouds and mist, stirring up ten thousand meters of the firmament.

“The Fengyun Spirit Dragon Technique only took two days to comprehend to the Advanced stage.”

“The Chaos Divine Dragon Shield, created by combining the Ancient Dragon Golden Body Art with the Chaos Demon God Body, has also reached the Elementary stage.”

“The Myriad Daos Cauldron has gained two more Dragon-shaped Daos, and its power has more than doubled.”

Chu Tian muttered to himself, feeling a slight sigh in his heart. The sheer number of Dragon-shaped Divine Abilities contained within the Supreme Emperor Scripture was immense, with countless variations and types. No matter what corresponding secret art he wished to Cultivate, he could find it within.

The Fengyun Spirit Dragon Technique is a top-tier secret art for movement speed, making up for his lack of speed Divine Abilities.

The Ancient Dragon Golden Body Art is a top-tier defensive secret art. He combined it with the powerful Bloodline of the Chaos Divine Demon Body, forging a new path to create the Chaos Divine Dragon Shield. However, creating a secret art, even when combining it with one's own Bloodline and forging a new path, is much more difficult. Thus, in the same amount of time, it only barely reached the Elementary stage. But when paired with his powerful Physical Body, it definitely far surpasses any top-tier defensive Divine Ability secret art, and its compatibility with him is also maximized.

“Supreme Yin Yang Great Dao Art, Prison Suppressing Dragon Emperor Art, Myriad Daos Cauldron, Fengyun Spirit Dragon Technique, Chaos Divine Dragon Shield – five Divine Ability secret arts.”

“The Myriad Daos Cauldron was already in the Extraordinary stage, belonging to my Dao. The other two reached Major Achievement, one Advanced, and one Elementary, all in just five days.”

“The System planned for three months for me to reach the Peak of the Refining Spirit Realm, but I am already at Refining Spirit Seventh Layer. I will reach the Peak in at most one month.”

Chu Tian slowly stood up, a rich Dao emanating from his body. Dozens of pores on his right arm exuded a chaotic golden glow, as if containing dozens of Minor Thousand Worlds.

He was performing three tasks at once. With the help of the four Intermediate halos and the top-grade Refining Spirit Pill, he was not only simultaneously comprehending two top-tier Divine Abilities.

Moreover, numerous powerful Divine Abilities, transcendent Mental Energy, and terrifying Physical Body strength allowed Chu Tian to break through thirty-five more Secret Realms in just two days, even while in seclusion comprehending Divine Abilities.

At this moment, he, merely at Refining Spirit Seventh Layer, had opened thirty-six Secret Realms, surpassing an unknown number of Body Integration Realm Peak Disciples of various Sects.

“The power of the Secret Realms is indeed boundless. Each one opened nearly doubles the enhancement to the Physical Body, Mental Energy, and Divine Abilities.”

Chu Tian looked at his right arm. With a slight tremor, the space around him vibrated, emitting violent sonic booms. Ripples surged, and the space seemed to burst open directly.
