Chapter 1100: Chapter 1099: Huangjin Xuanyuan Blown Up with Rage

For the time being, the crisis in Desolate Stone Village was alleviated, but Ye Tianchen did not immediately head to Devouring Sky Village. Instead, he was contemplating how to obtain the third fragment of the Ancient Transmission Array.

Up to this day, he already possessed two fragments of the Ancient Transmission Array. The third fragment, if nothing unexpected happens, should be in the hands of the Blood Killing Organization. However, Blood Killing is a sinister and powerful legacy. To take the Ancient Transmission Array fragment from this organization, Ye Tianchen feared that unless he stormed into their stronghold, it would be impossible.

Storming into the stronghold of the Blood Killing Organization—something that, throughout history, few powerful martial artists have succeeded in. Is such a sinister legacy’s stronghold so easily infiltrated? Venturing into it would likely lead to a nine-death-one-life situation, ending in the complete annihilation of mind and form.

Meanwhile, in the grand hall of the Golden Family, the Family Head, Huangjin Xuanyuan, because of the death of his seventh son, Huang Jinkuang, faced doubts regarding his capability. Mainly, one of the Golden Family’s treasured artifacts, the Golden Cauldron, was taken by Huang Jinkuang when he left the family. Almost everyone knows and can deduce that after his eighth son, Golden Strange Cloud, died, Huangjin Xuanyuan sent his seventh son, Huang Jinkuang, carrying one of the family’s treasured artifacts, the Golden Cauldron, to kill Ye Tianchen.

Now, nearly a month has passed, and Huang Jinkuang has yet to return to the Golden Family. Rumors are circulating that Huang Jinkuang has also been shock killed by Ye Tianchen, along with three other disciples from cultivation families and major sects. This displeased several elders within the Golden Family, especially those already dissatisfied with Huangjin Xuanyuan, believing he was not fit to serve as Family Head. He does not know how to strengthen a family, nor understand certain strategies. In this Martial Arts World, not to mention the three remaining Ancient Martial Worlds of Earth, looking at the entire Martial Arts Great World, countless sects and cultivation families exist, each stronger than the other. Relying solely on force to grow a legacy is difficult. Every legacy grows from weakness to strength step by step. Trying to be powerful from the start is impossible. In terms of strategy, one needs a clever mind, considering the entire legacy’s interests, something Huangjin Xuanyuan lacks.

Until now, some elders of the Golden Family have been asking Huangjin Xuanyuan about what happened—where did Huang Jinkuang go, and where is the Golden Family’s treasured artifact, the Golden Cauldron?

Huangjin Xuanyuan was at his wit’s end; he could only think of first summoning back the Golden Cauldron, avoiding telling these elders about Huang Jinkuang being shock killed by Ye Tianchen. That way, as long as the Cauldron was summoned back, he could conceal it for a while. Once Ye Tianchen was killed by a few of his other sons, he wouldn’t fear being exposed about Huang Jinkuang’s death, and it wouldn’t threaten his position as Family Head.

At this time, Huangjin Xuanyuan sat cross-legged in the grand hall, a cruel smile on his lips, for he knew the inside story. His seventh son, Huang Jinkuang, also died at Ye Tianchen’s hands. Clearly, the treasured Golden Cauldron was also in Ye Tianchen’s hands. Such a precious cauldron, having been ritualized by the family and by Huangjin Xuanyuan himself, could be summoned back through the marks originally imprinted on the treasure unless suppressed by an overwhelmingly powerful opponent. Additionally, it could seriously injure the person who stole the treasure.

”Ye Tianchen, you’ve killed two of my sons, doomed to perish with form and spirit extinguished as their burial companions. I disdain to personally kill you, but today you’ll receive a small lesson!” Huangjin Xuanyuan coldly sneered to himself.

Buzz!

Suddenly, at the boundary between the Ancient Martial World of Song Mountain and the Heavenly Ancient Martial World, where Ye Tianchen shock killed Huang Jinkuang, suppressing the Golden Family’s Golden Cauldron at that toxic place, deep within the poisonous atmosphere, the entire ground started trembling gradually and then intensified. The Golden Cauldron, suppressed there, kept shaking as if under some kind of summon, eventually soaring skyward, flying toward the secluded place of the Golden Family.

Huangjin Xuanyuan’s face showed a confident smile, sensing the breath of the Golden Cauldron returning. He stood from the ground and walked outside the grand hall, hands clasped behind his back, confident in watching because he knew he was about to see the treasured Golden Cauldron successfully fly back. If that succeeded, his plan could be smoothly executed, and no one could make things difficult for him or threaten his Family Head position.

Whoosh!

Sure enough, about an hour later, a light streaked across the sky, flying back toward the Golden Family. However, when Huangjin Xuanyuan saw that light, he was startled and somewhat dumbfounded. Was this the family’s treasured Golden Cauldron? How could it be carrying an aura of toxic poisonous gas as it came through the sky?

”Ah...”

”Ah...”

”Ah...”

The screams echoed continuously. When this ominous black light rushed into the Jin family, many of the Jin family’s descendants went up to take a look, intending to seize it. Little did they know that before they even touched this ominous Golden Cauldron, they were already attacked by the poisonous gas, annihilating their bodies and souls, only able to let out a miserable cry as they died.

”Ye——Tian——Chen, you little bastard, I want you to live a life worse than death...” Huangjin Xuanyuan was completely dumbfounded by this scene, trembling with rage, his eyes blood-red as he roared.

At this moment, Huangjin Xuanyuan finally understood. It wasn’t him summoning the Treasure Golden Cauldron to severely injure Ye Tianchen’s Divine Thought, but rather Ye Tianchen had long anticipated his action. Thus, he set a trap, suppressing the Jin family’s treasure, the Golden Cauldron, in a land of demon miasma, allowing the Golden Cauldron to be eroded by the poisonous gas, inevitably contaminating it with some of the poisonous aura. Hence, once he summoned this treasure Golden Cauldron back to the Jin family, he would bring the poisonous gas into the Jin family as well. Huangjin Xuanyuan knew very well that the poisonous gas in that miasma-infested land at the junction of Song Mountain Ancient Martial World and Heavenly Ancient Martial World could not be resisted by anyone under the Martial Saint Realm; Martial Artists below the Martial Saint Realm were doomed upon contact.

Buzz!

Huangjin Xuanyuan made his move. Naturally, he wanted to suppress this situation, but not only did summoning the family’s treasure Golden Cauldron fail to injure Ye Tianchen’s Divine Thought, it also disrupted his plan to conceal the death of Huang Jinkuang, leading to the death of many disciples in the family. If the elders in the family were to find out, even those who supported him becoming the Family Head would have deep reservations, and they’d certainly want to oust him.

Bang!

Grabbing hold of the treasure Golden Cauldron, Huangjin Xuanyuan, as the Family Head of the Jin family, naturally possessed unfathomable strength. His powerful cultivation strength was an essential trait of a leader of a legacy. Quickly, he subdued the treasure Golden Cauldron and wiped away the poisonous gas from it. Several Jin family disciples who witnessed this surrounded him, wanting to know what was happening.

”Don’t ask anything, bury the corpses of the deceased disciples. Only you few have seen this. If you leak any information, your fate will be the same as theirs.” Huangjin Xuanyuan spoke forcefully and coldly.

”Yes, Family Head!” The few disciples of the Jin family, though perplexed by the scene, did not dare ask a single question. Everyone knew Huangjin Xuanyuan, capable of acting on his words, was a ruthless figure no one dared to defy.

After speaking, Huangjin Xuanyuan absorbed the treasure Golden Cauldron into his body and rapidly flew towards the great hall. As he arrived, a trusted disciple of several elders was already waiting there, and upon seeing Huangjin Xuanyuan, spoke modestly, ”Family Head, the elders request your presence...”

”Alright, I understand, I’ll be there shortly!” Huangjin Xuanyuan responded with a frown and a slight smile.

After watching the disciple leave, Huangjin Xuanyuan furrowed his brow tightly, clenching his teeth in hatred. He originally intended to hide Huang Jinkuang’s death, but now, having summoned back the treasure Golden Cauldron, everything backfired disastrously, resulting in the death of several family disciples. Now it’s impossible to conceal it, and Huangjin Xuanyuan felt an intense desire to immediately rush out and murder Ye Tianchen in pieces.

”You little bastard, I don’t want to kill you first. I want to kill everyone close to you first, so that you will suffer and live a life worse than death.” Huangjin Xuanyuan thought viciously.

In the quiet of night, Ye Tianchen took out two fragments of the Ancient Transmission Array from his arms, placing them in his palms. Gazing at the two palm-sized fragments, he couldn’t help but mutter to himself, ”These two fragments of the Ancient Transmission Array emit an ancient aura, but nothing else. If I gather three pieces like these, can I really reconstruct the Ancient Transmission Array, or am I missing something?”

Looking at the two fragments of the Ancient Transmission Array, Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but be somewhat dazed. The fragments looked like jade treasures, ancient and grand. However, when Ye Tianchen probed them with his Divine Thought, he found no anomalies, which made him begin to doubt how to activate the Ancient Transmission Array even if three pieces were gathered together. How could he rediscover the power of the ancient Transmission Array?(To be continued.
