Chapter 1424: Killing Two Birds With One Stone Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Beigong Hongtian’s body exuded endless killing intent, but just as he was about to attack Ye Chen, a pair of skinny hands pressed down on his shoulders.

“Hongtian, you shouldn’t be like this. Ye Shitian…”

“I can sense that there’s a very powerful force in his body!”

An old man in white slowly emerged from the darkness and said, “At the very least, that power was left behind by an expert on the same level as me.”

“Je might be a descendant of some top-tier family who somehow ended up in a low-level martial plane. If he doesn’t die prematurely, I’m afraid that his future achievements will be terrifying!”

“In fact, it won’t be long before our Beigong family can only look up to this young man!”

At this moment, Beigong Hongtian’s eyes widened in disbelief.

The Beigong family would look up to this little b*stard?

What a joke!

Even if Ye Shitian was given 10,000 years, it would still be impossible!

Just as he was about to retort, the old man continued,

“Ye Shitian was reckless, but you were even more reckless. I’m even beginning to doubt if you have the qualifications to be the family head!”

“Third Grand Elder! Is this some sort of mistake?” Beigong Hongtian’s expression turned even uglier. He had never thought that the greatest threat to his position as the family head would be a mere Semi Divine realm ant!

He suspected that he had misheard, so he looked at the old man in confusion.

The old man shook his head helplessly. He naturally had the right to say this, as he was the Beigong family Third Grand Elder, a peak third-level Creation realm expert who had lived for more than thirty thousand years. He had sensed the mysterious power of the Samsara Graveyard in Ye Chen’s body, so he had rushed over.

Furthermore, it was not just him…

Soon, a few people emerged from the darkness. The leader of this was the Creation realm Fourth Grand Elder, and there were five Dao Integration realm elders with him, including the eighth and fifth elder. They could all sense the special aura within Ye Chen’s body.

Even though they did not know what it was, they were willing to take the gamble that Ye Shitian would become a terrifying existence in the Lingwu Continent in less than ten years.

“Of course, Ye Shitian has offended many people this time, but you didn’t have to make an enemy out of him. I’ve observed this person carefully, yet I can’t even probe his origins when I use the power of the spacetime laws,” the Fourth Grand Elder said slowly.

The spacetime laws allowed one to divine the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao!

Despite this, the Fourth Grand Elder could not probe Ye Shitian’s origins!

As soon as he said this, the expressions of the Beigong family members around him changed drastically, and they looked in the direction in which Ye Chen had left, feeling a little shocked.

Beigong Hongtian was getting more and more confused. It was as if a huge bomb had been set off in his heart. Did he really do something wrong?

“Grand Elder, I…”

Before Beigong Hongtian could finish speaking, an old voice interrupted him.

“He wants you to help him obtain the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Dragon Herb, right? I think you can help!” The Third Grand Elder paused for a long time before he looked at Beigong Hongtian and continued, “Hongtian, you are too young. You have only lived for 800 years. There are many things that are beyond your understanding.”

He stroked his beard and smiled. “The Soul Race wants to kill him, right? And he wants the supreme treasure of the Soul Race, right?”

“Yes!” Beigong Hongtian nodded his head honestly.

“Go to the Soul Race and make a deal. Isn’t the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Dragon Herb protected by the Ten Thousand Soul Dragon Formation? It can kill Primordial Chaos realm cultivators, and even Dao Integration realm cultivators. Tell the Soul Race to let Ye Shitian challenge the formation!”

The Third Grand Elder’s eyes shone with light as he said slowly, “The Soul Race did not dare to attack Ye Shitian because of the Myriad Swords Palace, but now, the Myriad Swords Palace is busy defending themselves against external enemies. Although they won’t be destroyed, they won’t be able to help Ye Shitian for now.”

“Of course, I’m not telling you this so that you capture Ye Shitian!”

“Just go and inform the Soul Race about this and have them open their forbidden area so that Ye Shitian can challenge the formation. If he defeats the formation, then he can get what he wants, but if he doesn’t then he’ll die. Anyway, Ye Shitian came here voluntarily to get the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Dragon Herb to cure his friend. Even if he dies, the Myriad Swords Palace won’t do anything!”

At this moment, Beigong Hongtian was a little stunned. Did the Third Grand Elder not think highly of Ye Shitian?

Why did he want to kill Ye Shitian instead?

The Third Grand Elder understood Beigong Hongtian’s doubts. He smiled and placed his hands behind his back. “This is the way the world works.”

“There are no eternal enemies, and there are no eternal friends.”

“Ye Shitian is extraordinary, and if he doesn’t die young, he will definitely grow much stronger.”

“However, right now, because of your absurd decision, Ye Shitian will not have any connection with the Beigong family anymore!”

“Since he can’t become a member of the Beigong family, we cannot allow him to become someone else’s vassal!”

Beigong Hongtian also finally realized what was going on. If he did not, then he would not be worthy of being the family head!

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. “In this case, we will be helping the Soul Race a lot. Shouldn’t we ask them for something?”

“Also, since we’re helping Ye Shitian get permission from the Soul Race, he should give us treasures too!”

This was a win-win situation, as no matter what the outcome was, the Beigong family would not be affected. Furthermore, they would reap a bountiful reward from both sides!

“Ask the Soul Race for a spacetime artifact. It’s not too much to ask for a Spacetime Weapon in exchange for Ye Shitian’s life,” The Third Grand Elder elders said expressionlessly, “I believe that the old fellow from the Soul Race will definitely jump at the chance to kill his enemy and wash away their humiliation!”

The Soul Race valued their reputation and dignity, so now that Ye Shitian had humiliated them, they were definitely looking for any and every opportunity to avenge themselves!

A spacetime artifact was precious but not indispensable!

“Haha, good!”

“In this way, our Beigong family will gain one more Creation realm expert!”

Beigong Hongtian kept nodding. To him, strengthening the Beigong family was the most important thing. Ye Shitian’s actions had caused the family much distress, but this opportunity allowed them to kill two birds with one stone!

Furthermore, by expelling Ye Shitian from the family, they would appease the Soul Race, as well as the other seven major forces and keep them from becoming enemies of the Beigong family. This plan of action was perfect!
