Chapter 1490: Chapter 1481: Enemy Arrives
Earth Profound Realm.
In a courtyard within the Wu Manor on Sunset Island.
Ever since Ye Chenfeng traveled to the Secular World through the Star Rotation Array, Bai Xiaorou had been staying in this courtyard day and night.
Suddenly, the formation in the courtyard flickered with a burst of light. With a "whoosh" sound, a massive rift tore open above the formation, shrouded by a streak of white light, and soon a dark shadow surged out from the white light.
Once the dark shadow emerged from the white light, the rift above the formation instantly closed up again.
"Fortunately, this time I didn’t come out from mid-air," the shadow that emerged was none other than Ye Chenfeng. He had been sprinting for about eight hours on the Star Road before returning from the Secular World to the Earth Profound Realm.
At this moment, the sky in the Earth Profound Realm had already brightened. As Ye Chenfeng’s feet landed steadily within the formation, the essence blood in the array eyes immediately reacted, and droplets of essence blood flew onto the skin on the back of Ye Chenfeng’s hand. Through his skin, the essence blood quickly permeated into his body.
After the essence blood returned to his body, Ye Chenfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief. In his mind, the voice of the White Shadow Person, Wu Fengxian, resounded: "Little one, keep the four star pattern pillars safe; they will surely be useful in the future."
Upon hearing these words, a flash came from Ye Chenfeng’s storage ring, and the four star pattern pillars were instantly stored within it.
Then, Ye Chenfeng smiled and said to Bai Xiaorou in the courtyard, "Xiaorou, I came back early."
Bai Xiaorou’s face also revealed an innocent and pure smile. She stepped forward, taking Ye Chenfeng’s arm, and said, "Brother Ye, Xiaorou missed you very much these past days!"
Since Bai Xiaorou reunited with Ye Chenfeng, she liked to stay with him. However, she only displayed her innocent and pure side when she was with Ye Chenfeng, while she remained cold and indifferent to others.
Seeing Bai Xiaorou’s innocent and pure demeanor, Ye Chenfeng didn’t have the heart to shake off her arm. He knew that the ancestor of Sunset Island, Wu Qingshan, must also be eagerly waiting these days, and it was time for him to help Wu Qingshan neutralize the poison in his body. He said, "Xiaorou, let’s go for a walk!"
As Ye Chenfeng and Bai Xiaorou walked out of the courtyard.
Inside the main hall of the Wu Manor.
The ancestor of Sunset Island, Wu Qingshan, was sitting on a chair, with the island master, Wu Yidong, and his son, Wu Lifen, standing on either side.
Now that Wu Yidong and Wu Lifen knew Ye Chenfeng could neutralize the poison in their ancestor’s body, even Wu Lifen, who was constantly displeased with Ye Chenfeng, now hoped Ye Chenfeng would quickly emerge from seclusion.
The ancestor of Yunxian Sect, Zuo Deyuan, was seated on a chair next to Wu Qingshan, with his disciple, He Manyang, and the young master of Yunxian Sect, Zuo Feibai, standing beside him.
As for the others from Yunxian Sect and Liang Zuoyi and Su Bingshuan, they weren’t in the main hall, but rather resting in their rooms. After all, with Wu Qingshan and Zuo Deyuan being Nirvana Realm powerhouses, Liang Zuoyi and the others always felt oppressed in front of them, so they might as well rest in their rooms.
"Zuo Feibai, is that Ye Chenfeng really capable of neutralizing the poison in my ancestor’s body?" Wu Lifen asked quietly as he walked over to Zuo Feibai. The two of them had known each other for a long time.
Zuo Feibai indeed regarded Ye Chenfeng as his own ancestor. Hearing Wu Lifen dare to speak so disrespectfully of Ye Chenfeng, his eyes immediately widened with anger, and he barked, "Wu Lifen, watch your tone. What gives you the right to address my ancestor by his name directly?"
The conversation between Wu Lifen and Zuo Feibai reached the ears of Zuo Deyuan and Wu Qingshan, causing Zuo Deyuan’s face to show displeasure. Ye Chenfeng was the younger brother of Zuo Deyuan, and Wu Lifen’s disrespect towards Ye Chenfeng was equivalent to disrespecting him!
Wu Qingshan also noticed the displeasure on Zuo Deyuan’s face and immediately scolded, "Lifen, if you dare show disrespect to Brother Ye again, you’ll be kicked off Sunset Island at once. Remember, you must respectfully address him as Ancestor whenever you see him in the future. Do you hear me?"
The island master of Sunset Island, Wu Yidong, seeing Wu Qingshan truly angered, also glared at Wu Lifen and demanded, "Won’t you agree to the Ancestor’s request? If he can truly neutralize the poison in the Ancestor’s body, then he will be our benefactor of Sunset Island."
Though Wu Lifen was inwardly displeased, he could only say to Wu Qingshan, "Ancestor, I understand."
Just as Wu Lifen’s words fell, a servant of Wu Manor hurriedly walked in, respectfully saying to Wu Qingshan, "Ancestor, the Supreme Elder of the Hall of Sea Gods is outside."
Wu Qingshan, upon hearing this, instructed, "Let them in!"
Soon, an elderly man with the demeanor of a celestial being stepped into the Wu Manor’s main hall. The old man was clad in a white robe and radiated a vigorous aura as he walked, exuding an overwhelmingly imposing presence. He was the Supreme Elder of the Hall of Sea Gods, Song Haiyun, with a cultivation in the Initial Stage of the fourth heaven of the Nirvana Realm; the Hall of Sea Gods was genuinely a Second Grade sect.
Following behind Song Haiyun were an old woman in black attire and a young man. The old woman’s strength was at the Peak of the third heaven of the Creation Realm, while the young man’s strength was at the Late Stage of the third heaven of the Divine Thought Realm.
If Ye Chenfeng were present, he would recognize at a glance that the old woman in black was none other than Song Chunmei of the Yinming Sect! And the young man was precisely Song Chunmei’s disciple, Jiang Motian!
How could Song Chunmei and Jiang Motian be with the Supreme Elder of the Second Grade Hall of Sea Gods?
Song Haiyun of the Hall of Sea Gods, owing to the very peculiar cultivation technique he practiced, required him to release energy by seeking out women periodically. However, typically, these women wouldn’t become pregnant.
Years ago, while passing through the Yinming Sect, Song Haiyun needed to release energy again. Thus, he sought out a female disciple of the Yinming Sect, and unexpectedly, that disciple became pregnant.
Yet, Song Haiyun did not bring the pregnant Yinming Sect disciple back to the Hall of Sea Gods. Instead, she, knowing Song Haiyun’s name, gave birth to the child within the Yinming Sect and named the child Song Chunmei.
Thus, Song Chunmei was the illegitimate daughter of the Supreme Elder of the Hall of Sea Gods.
Initially, Song Haiyun nearly forgot he had this illegitimate daughter, but the Hall of Sea Gods had two Supreme Elders! The other Supreme Elder was the patriarch of the line of the Hall of Sea Gods’ Sect Master, while Song Haiyun was the patriarch of the line of the Hall of Sea Gods’ Great Elder.
The Hall of Sea Gods had a rule that each Sect Master could only serve for two hundred years. With the current Sect Master about to retire soon, naturally, Song Haiyun wished for his lineage to take the seat of the Hall of Sea Gods’ Sect Master.
Hence, Song Haiyun needed ample support; he inadvertently learned his illegitimate daughter was now an Elder of the Yinming Sect, and her disciple could potentially become the Yinming Sect’s Saint Heir. Becoming a Saint Heir nearly ensured ascension to the Yinming Sect’s Sect Master position.
Though the Yinming Sect was just a Fifth-Rank Sect, it still served as considerable support for Song Haiyun.
Subsequently, Song Haiyun had someone locate Song Chunmei and Jiang Motian. Song Chunmei, never expecting such a lineage, didn’t hesitate to acknowledge Song Haiyun.
However, Song Haiyun informed Song Chunmei that their relationship had to remain secret from others, and he would assist Jiang Motian in enhancing his strength to ensure Jiang Motian could smoothly ascend to the Yinming Sect’s Sect Master position.
When Jiang Motian emerged from the ancient God-Demon Cemetery, his strength had only reached the Initial Stage of the third heaven of the Divine Thought Realm. Now his strength was at the Late Stage of the third heaven of the Divine Thought Realm, thanks to Song Haiyun enhancing it with elixir pills.
The Hall of Sea Gods was likewise upon the vast sea. Song Haiyun had stopped by Sunset Island while passing through, knowing the Sunset Island ancestor Wu Qingshan, prompting him to visit the Wu Manor immediately upon arriving.
