Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples

Chapter 477: Chapter 245: The Demon Cultivator Returns, Wei Zong Falls

Wei Hai’s seemingly respectful invitation concealed a hint of coercion.

He no longer pretended, raising his head, his gaze fixed steadily on Chen Ye.

No matter how dull a person is, they should realize something is wrong by now, right?

Wei Hai desperately wanted to detect fear from the expression of the man before him.

But the result left him disappointed.

Chen Ye smiled lightly, which irritated Wei Hai immensely, as he brushed his sleeve leisurely and stepped steadily into the main hall.

Inside the hall, sandalwood incense curled up as Patriarch Wei Zong of the Wei Family sat at the head position.

On either side of him stood four cultivators at the eighth or ninth layer of Qi Cultivation, three of whom were elders of the Wei Family, while the other was a young man clad in a brocade robe, who seemed young but exuded a profound aura.

Below the hall, six or seven elite late-period Qi Cultivation disciples of the Wei Family locked their unfriendly gazes on the entering Chen Ye.

What welcome banquet was this? Clearly, it was a well-laid trap!

”Guardian Chen, your esteemed presence brings light to our humble abode!”

Patriarch Wei Zong rose to his feet with a full-face smile,

”Congratulations to Guardian on achieving Foundation Establishment, may the immortal path ahead be smooth. Please, take a seat!”

The attendants offered tea brimming with Spiritual Qi and exquisite Spirit Fruits, creating a harmonious and joyful atmosphere.

Chen Ye glanced over the people in the hall, capturing every cultivator in his sight, the sneer in his heart growing stronger.

Their act was overtly sloppy, do they think that once he entered the Wei residence, he was already doomed?

For example, the seemingly late-period Qi Cultivation young man who only bothered to conceal his aura without retracting his imposing energy—a clear indication of concealed strength to a discerning eye.

Chen Ye walked calmly to the seat indicated by Patriarch Wei Zong and sat down with a smile:

”Patriarch, you’re too kind. I wonder if there is anything else you wish to discuss aside from congratulating me on reaching Foundation Establishment? I have just returned from the Grotto Heaven, and there are many affairs to handle in the valley, so I fear I cannot stay long.”

”Hehe, Guardian Chen, you are indeed straightforward.”

Wei Zong’s smile dissipated, replaced by a somber expression,

”In that case, I won’t beat around the bush. My Wei Family’s Wei Shu, along with several accompanying family disciples, unfortunately perished in Songyang Cave Heaven. According to survivors, this matter... seems to be inseparably linked with Guardian Chen?”

”Oh? Guardian Wei Shu has fallen?”

Chen Ye feigned surprise, then shook his head regretfully,

”Grotto Heaven is perilous, and life and death are decreed by fate, truly heartrending. However, if the patriarch claims it involves me, may I ask what evidence there is? At that time, I was in dire straits myself, trapped by a Spiritual Lock Nail, being merely at Qi Cultivation period, how could I have harmed Guardian Wei at the Foundation Establishment Stage? Could it be that the patriarch has been stirred by some petty troublemakers?”

Initially, the Vine King forcibly abducted Wei Shu in front of everyone.

As for himself, he never showed his face.

”Evidence?”

Wei Zong suddenly slammed the table, his eyes gleaming with ferocity,

”Chen Ye! Don’t try to argue! If it weren’t for you colluding with a Demon Cultivator, what other explanation could there be? You are merely a Loose Cultivator; without fortuitous encounters or schemes, how could you have unlocked the Spiritual Lock Nail and successfully established your Foundation? Today, if you don’t give my Wei Family an explanation, don’t think about stepping out of this Wei residence gate!”

”Clang——!”

The Wei Family cultivators, who had long been impatient, successively unleashed their magical artifacts, glinting coldly as spiritual power surged, menacingly encircling Chen Ye.

The array in the hall was instantly activated as well, a deep yellow barrier enveloping and isolating the inside and outside.

The truth revealed through the chaos!

”An explanation?”

Chen Ye sneered, disregarding the looming threats, his gaze sharp as he looked toward the brocade robe-clad youth,

”Patriarch Wei, who exactly is colluding with a Demon Cultivator? This person... is from the Emotion Crossing Sect, correct.”

Chen Ye had long known that the Wei Family secretly colluded with the Emotion Crossing Sect.

Therefore, the outside aid Wei Family had right now was most likely a Demon Cultivator!

The youth in brocade robe suddenly lifted his drooping eyelids, revealing eyes with a bloody aura, coldly gazing at Chen Ye.

Wei Zong’s fierce gaze paused, he anticipated Chen Ye would guess the young man’s extraordinary cultivation, but didn’t expect him to state the truth outright.

He couldn’t be bothered to keep pretending, letting out a long laugh: ”As it is said, grievances have a source, debts a master. You disrupted the Holy Sect’s grand plan, naturally, the Holy Sect would come for revenge after Bai Susu leaves, it’s reasonable. See, aren’t we considerate for you? My Wei Family is a victim too! Attack!”

With an order, the two Wei Family disciples nearest to Chen Ye shouted fiercely, their two artifacts stabbing toward Chen Ye’s throat and heart viciously!

Their actions were swift, with a tacit understanding, first probing.

”Does the Wei Family not regard the lives of their clan members?”

Chen Ye snorted coldly, how could the two Qi Cultivators possibly harm him?

Perhaps Wei Zong intentionally sent them to their deaths, later pretending it was a demon attack to cleanse himself of suspicion.

He flicked his fingers, and two points of spiritual light shot out.

It was Geng Metal Qi!

”Clang——!”

The vast and fierce spiritual power of the Foundation Establishment Stage smashed into the artifacts, accompanied by a crisp bone-breaking sound and wailing, the two disciples were directly smashed into two halves!

The vastness of the Wei Family momentarily stilled.

It was a lightning-fast move, dizzyingly quick.

It seemed relaxed and effortless, but only a master would know the subtleties within.

His spiritual power was incredibly vast!

It was likely comparable to the middle period of Foundation Establishment!

Wei Zong’s expression was shocked, while a flash of greed crossed the young man’s eyes.

They exchanged a knowing glance.

This Chen Ye undoubtedly obtained a massive fortune in the Grotto Heaven!

But what use is it to have merely strong spiritual power?

While they were secretly assessing Chen Ye’s strength, Chen Ye had already started his massacre.

In just a thought, half of the Wei Family disciples in the hall were nearly dead or wounded!

”Arrogant brat! Capture him for me, extract his soul and refine his spirit, avenge our clan members!”
