Xiao Wuhen was pacing back and forth, the Shanhe Fan in his hand creaking loudly as he squeezed it, completely losing his usual coolness and calmness.
"Are you really crazy? We just escaped from the quagmire of the ghost market. There are at least three groups of people outside who want to skin us and cramp us. You don't want to run away, but you are still thinking about that hot potato?" He glared at Ye Feng, who was leisurely sipping tea. His voice was very low, but he couldn't hide his madness.
That is the remains of the gods and demons exchanged for the "Eternal Life Immortal Liquid"! Standing behind him is a terrifying being who can take out such a fairy. There is no difference between snatching something from such a person and actively putting your head under the guillotine.
Ye Feng put down the tea cup, and the cup lid collided with the cup body, making a crisp and soft sound, which was particularly clear in this silent night.
"Who said I was going to rob him?" he asked.
Xiao Wuhen was stunned: "Don't grab it? Then you..."
"You said before that the aura of the person in the third box is ancient, vast, and smells of decay." Ye Feng's eyes penetrated the window lattice and looked in the direction of a heavily guarded mansion in the city. "Does it look like a piece of wood that is about to rot?"
Xiao Wuhen frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded: "Indeed. The sense of decay of vitality can be felt through the restriction. I am afraid that he is an ancestor of some family who is about to expire and relies on the treasures of heaven and earth to hang on."
"A piece of wood that is about to rot, even if it is poured with the nectar of the fairy world, can it grow back into a towering tree?" Ye Feng's mouth curved, "Maybe it can last for a while, but wood is still wood after all."
"What do you mean..." Xiao Wuhen's breathing suddenly stopped, and an incredible thought arose in his mind.
"The remains of gods and demons, with a trace of origin. What do you think that is?" Ye Feng tapped his fingers lightly on the table, "That is the sun, it is an oven! What will be the result of a piece of rotten wood trying to embrace the sun?"
A thin layer of cold sweat broke out on Xiao Wuhen's forehead.
As a result, it will only be burned to ashes!
He finally understood Ye Feng's plan. This guy, from the beginning, had no intention of using brute force to grab it. He was betting that the old monster who photographed the remains of gods and demons would not be able to "eat" this piece of fat!
"Let's go and watch a good show." Ye Feng stood up and put on his black robe, "Look at how that piece of 'fat' scalded the diners' mouths."
...
Linhe City, the Chen family's residence.
As one of the three major families in Linhe City, the Chen family's defense tonight is more than ten times tighter than before. In the sky above the mansion, a large formation invisible to the naked eye slowly circulated, exuding a heart-stopping pressure. Any consciousness that tries to pry will be crushed instantly.
But under the protection of the "Deception Star Array - Xingyin", Ye Feng and Xiao Wuhen were like two non-existent shadows, floating silently over the Chen family's forbidden land.
Below, there is a hollowed-out mountain, and in the center of the mountain is a huge earth-fire furnace. At this moment, the furnace was not lit. Instead, there were countless rare warm-nurturing jade stones, emitting a soft light.
The huge ice coffin wrapped in the remains of gods and demons was quietly placed in the center.
An old man with white hair and beard, skin as dry as tree bark, and exuding an aura of decay, was sitting cross-legged in front of the ice coffin. He is the ancestor of the Chen family, an old monster who has lived for nearly a thousand years and should have returned to his ashes long ago, but he has been relying on resources to accumulate resources and has delayed it until now.
Beside him stood several core figures of the Chen family, all of whom looked nervous and full of expectation.
"Ancestor, everything is ready, you...can start." The head of the Chen family said respectfully.
The ancestor of the Chen family slowly opened his cloudy eyes. In those eyes, there was no joy of hope, but instead they were full of struggle...
He knew his situation better than anyone else. That drop of "Eternal Immortal Liquid" indeed extended his life span for thousands of years, but his body and soul had long been decayed, like a leaky sieve, unable to carry such overbearing power.
But the trace of origin contained in the remnants of gods and demons is his only hope for transcendence and ascension.
Gamble!
Crazy flashed in his eyes, and his dry palms, trembling, pressed on the ice coffin.
"Open!"
As he shouted, the runes on the ice coffin lit up one by one, and then slowly dissipated. An indescribable terrifying coercion originating from the ancient times swept out like an awakening ancient behemoth!
Click!
Just a trace of breath escaping caused all the surrounding warm-nurturing jade to shatter!
The head of the Chen family and others were driven back by this coercion, their faces pale and their spirits shaken.
The ancestor of the Chen family, who was the first to bear the brunt, felt as if he was struck by lightning. His whole body trembled suddenly, and a mouthful of black blood spurted out.
"Ancestor!" Everyone was shocked.
The ancestor of the Chen family waved his hand and stared at the flawless body in the ice coffin, as if it was just a remnant of the sleeping past. There was endless greed and desire in his eyes.
He forcibly suppressed the injuries in his body, stimulating his remaining vitality, trying to pull and refine the traces of the gods and demons in the remains.
However, the moment his consciousness touched the remains.
"Buzz——!"
A faint golden light suddenly lit up between the eyebrows. A more domineering, purer, and supremely majestic will awakens from the slough!
It seems to be announcing that an ant is worthy of spying on the power of gods?
"Poof——!"
The soul of the ancestor of the Chen family seemed to have been hit hard by an invisible giant hammer. He spat out a large mouthful of blood again, his whole body slumped, and his breath was even more decayed than before.
Not only did he fail to refine that trace of the origin of gods and demons, he actually suffered a strong backlash!
The power of the slough is repelling him!
"How could...how could this happen?" The ancestor of the Chen family muttered to himself in despair. He paid such a huge price and even bet on the future of his entire family, but what he got in exchange was an untouchable despair.
High up in the sky, Xiao Wuhen was horrified when he saw it, and he said through a message: "You are right! This guy is just guarding Jinshan to beg for food!"
"The heat is almost there."
Ye Feng's figure slowly emerged from the "Star Hidden" state.
He did not hide his aura. The aura that originated from the depths of his bloodline and had the same origin as the remains of gods and demons was like a beacon in the dark night, and was instantly noticed by the people below.
"Who?" The head of the Chen family and others, as if facing a formidable enemy, sacrificed their magic weapons one after another.
However, when their eyes fell on Ye Feng, they were all stunned.
Because, at the moment Ye Feng appeared, the relic of the gods and demons below, which was originally extremely domineering and rejected everything, actually... became quiet.
The terrifying pressure receded like the tide. The golden light between her eyebrows, although still bright, is no longer aggressive, but instead exudes... intimacy?
The ancestor of the Chen family suddenly raised his head and stared at Ye Feng, his pair of cloudy eyes bursting with incredible light.
"You...your blood..." His voice was hoarse and full of trembling.
"It seems that the senior is a sensible person." Ye Feng's figure slowly descended, ignoring the eager Chen family masters around him, and walked straight in front of the Chen family ancestor.
