Chapter 1771
The Gongye Clan!
A top-rate power in the Imperial Region .
Before he’d been reunited with Zhen Liuqing, Chen Xi had already found out from Empress Yu Che that the Gongye Clan had a close relationship with the Sovereign Sect, and many great figures within it held the position of elder in the Sovereign Sect .
At that time, because Empress Yu Che had entrusted him with a task, Chen Xi had gone to the Desolate Manku Ruins with the mindset of completing the task, and he intended to stop Gongye Zhe from obtaining the ninth-grade Emperor Rank Ancestral Dao Root .
So, at that time, he couldn’t be said to have much detest towards the Gongye Clan, but he absolutely had no good impression of it .
After he saw Zhen Liuqing, his attitude towards the Gongye Clan had changed, and he started to detest it .
Especially after he suffered the ceaseless provocation of Gongye Zhefu, it caused the detest he felt to simply rise to an extreme .
There was no need to describe what happened next because Zhen Liuqing had almost perished from the Divine Black Lich Poison from the Gongye Clan .
Yet now, before Chen Xi could even cure Zhen Liuqing, the grievous news of Daoist Dao Que’s death at the hands of the Gongye Clan had arrived . This simply caused Chen Xi to hate the Gongye Clan to the bone .
The Gongye Clan… . Gongye Clan… . At this moment, Chen Xi’s eyes were piercingly cold while he repeated the Gongye Clan’s name in his heart, and it caused his aura to seem extremely terrifying .
A price of blood must be paid for this enmity! After he made this decision, Chen Xi gazed at Ye Yan who was heavily injured and regulating her breathing yet Zhen Liuqing’s delicate and beautiful face appeared in his mind .
…
Seven days later, Ye Yan awoke from her meditation . Her aura was already stabilizing, and it was weak and chaotic any longer . Moreover, a wisp of a glow had appeared on her charming and gorgeous face .
“You’re awake . ” Chen Xi’s voice sounded out by her ears . Ye Yan raised her head and saw Chen Xi looking at her from afar .
This caused her to be slightly surprised, and she felt incomprehensibly touched as well . She’d never imagined that Chen Xi would actually stand on guard by her side until now .
“Yes . ” Ye Yan nodded, and then she said with self-ridicule, “I originally thought that I would definitely die, but who would have imagined that the heavens were benevolent and actually allowed me to find a way to escape .
“What exactly happened?” asked Chen Xi .
“What else? I was pursued by the Gongye Clan . ” Ye Yan shrugged and seemed to be very relaxed .
Chen Xi pursued an answer . “Why?”
Ye Yan went silent for a moment before she said, “Because of that jade slip that Daoist Dao Que left behind . I was originally unaware of its existence, and I only noticed it from within his corpse later on . However, the Gongye Clan noticed this as well, and they instantly set out like mad dogs and launched a full force pursuit against me . ”
She paused for a moment and said with a smile, “Fortunately, the Gongye Clan had discarded Daoist Dao Que’s corpse in a wasteland and not within the Gongye Clan . Otherwise, I would have probably suffered calamity by now . ”
Chen Xi’s eyes narrowed, and he frowned as he said, “They dared to launch a pursuit against you just for the sake of a jade slip?”
Ye Yan was stunned . She was very bewildered by it as well, and she frowned as she said, “I’m unable to wrap my head around this as well . Presently, no one is aware that I’ve severed my relationship with the Sovereign Sect . Moreover, I’m still a descendant of the Ye Clan no matter what, yet the Gongye Clan still dared to try and kill me . This is clearly unusual . ”
When she spoke up to here, Chen Xi and her exchanged glances, and both of them realized that all of this was probably related to the jade slip that Daoist Dao Que left behind!
Chen Xi even deduced that the reason the Gongye Clan had captured Zhen Liuqing and Daoist Dao Que was probably for the sake of that jade slip!
But… why hadn’t the Gongye Clan notice something so important?
“I noticed this jade slip when I was gathering Daoist Dao Que’s ashes . ” Ye Yan seemed to have noticed Chen Xi’s bewilderment, and she said with slight surprise and bewilderment . “Now that I speak of it, it really was a coincidence . When dispersed, these ashes seemed extremely ordinary . However, when they were placed within an urn, a unique connection was formed between the ashes, and they gradually fused together into that jade slip . ”
Chen Xi was extremely surprised when he heard this . Because no one would have been able to guess that Daoist Dao Que would have actually fused it into his body .
This indirectly proved that this jade slip was definitely extraordinary!
Chen Xi couldn’t help but take it out and observe it once more . However, he restrained himself and didn’t take a look at its content in the end .
It was left behind by Daoist Dao Que, so it should naturally belong to Zhen Liuqing . ,
Ye Yan had clearly not looked through the content of the jade slip, and she was very curious about it . However, when she saw Chen Xi put it away once more, she instantly understood his thoughts .
“I never expected that you would be so considerate of your Dao Companion,” said Ye Yan .
“It doesn’t make a different . I’m just worried about whether she would be able to endure such a blow when she wakes up and finds out about her master’s death . ” Chen Xi sighed . He gazed at Arambha Temple that resided in the distance and said in his heart, Even if that the Goddess of Arambha Temple is able to suppress the Divine Black Lich Venom within Liuqing, she’ll probably still be unable to awaken if I’m unable to find a way to cure her of it .
This meant that Chen Xi would definitely go head-on against the Gongye Clan one day . Firstly, it would be for the sake of taking revenge for Zhen Liuqing, and secondly, it would be to force them to hand over the secret technique to cure the Divine Black Lich Venom!
“Right, there’s one more thing that I must tell you . ” Ye Yan hesitated for a moment before she said, “After I’d shed all pretenses with the Gongye Clan, they’d threatened that if you didn’t take the initiative to hand Gongye Zhefu’s soul over to them, then they’d make you pay a horrible price even if you had the protection of Oracle Mountain . ”
