Chapter 2568: Master Ye You

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Whoosh —

The Ancient Abyssal Blade shuttled through the dense vines like a streak of black light. With the sound of metal colliding, the weapon in the hands of the struggling Saint-level dead souls was devoured and refined.

When Xue Tu arrived, he found that the battle had ended. Looking at the sea of thunder and fire vines, he couldn’t help but feel a rush of heat rising from his heart to his head.

That’s right!

Following Zhang Ruochen would indeed bring him luck.

The Saint Devourer’s combat strength was only in the Thousand-Koan Realm during the Celestial-Hunting battle. How long had it been? Now, its combat strength was even more terrifying than a Supreme Saint at the peak of the Banshi Isshou Realm! He didn’t know if it had reached the Paramount Realm.

Ji Fanxin put away the divine-level ship and flew to the floating island with a dimensional teleportation array.

The corpses and bones of black-robed dead souls were strewn around the teleportation array. They had all been killed by Zhang Ruochen. Only a black-robed ghost was frozen by the Curse of Light and Dark. He didn’t move.

Zhang Ruochen took out the sundial and slowed down the flow of time on the floating island. Then he studied the dimensional teleportation array in detail and nodded, “Brilliant, really brilliant. Even I can’t compare with your study on the dimensional teleportation array.”

To set up a dimensional teleportation array that spanned hundreds of millions of miles was more complicated than a ninth-class array.

His attainments in array formations were at least at the level of High-Saint.

His attainments in dimensional could not be weak.

His spiritual power had to be above the 69th level.

He had to meet all three conditions. In addition, plenty of precious dimensional materials were needed to set up a teleportation array at this level.

One had to admit that the Ghost Supreme Saint was an incredible talent.

Xue Tu flew onto the floating island and laughed loudly, “Senior, you may not know. This Master Ye You is a figure on par with the Noqoilpi, Seven-Armed Elder. Both are one of the twelve wandering cultivators in the Infernal Court. It is only because he has met you, who is highly skilled in dimensional. It is difficult for other cultivators to keep him. Dishastan must have paid a high price to invite him to set up the array.”

In fact, Xue Tu was very surprised. To his knowledge, Master Ye You’s spiritual power had reached the 69th level, and his cultivation seemed to be at the peak of the Banshi Isshou Realm.

Even if Zhang Ruochen’s dimensional attainments were better than Master Ye You’s and could stop him from escaping.

But how could he use a curse to stop him?

Zhang Ruochen is indeed unfathomable. I don’t know what kind of trump card he has. Master Ye You has the experience of escaping from the pseudo god, but he can’t escape from Zhang Ruochen.’ Xue Tu was deeply shocked. A sense of awe rose from the bottom of his heart.

It was both awe and fear.

Of course, Xue Tu didn’t know that Zhang Ruochen and Seven-Armed Elder had worked together to restrain Master Ye You.

It was the Seven-Armed Elder who had activated the Myriad Curse Bead and performed the Curse of Light and Dark.

Master Ye You could never have imagined there was a master in Zhang Ruochen’s inner world whose spiritual power was not weaker than his. He was caught off guard and fell.

Of course, Zhang Ruochen’s dimensional attainments were higher than Master Ye You’s. However, he practiced and studied more offensive methods than teleportation array.

“Zhang Ruochen, give me a quick death. I won’t give in. Kill me. Refine and scatter my soul.” Master Ye You’s voice was hoarse, but his will was firm.

Ji Fanxin had a look of admiration. She said, “Master Ye You is as strong as the legends say. He’s not afraid of death. Such a figure can be considered a hero even in the Infernal Court. If there’s no hatred in the past, let him go!”

Apparently, Ji Fanxin was different from other cultivators in Heavenly Realm. She did not have to kill every cultivator in Infernal Court she met.

This was why she still treated Zhang Ruochen as a friend rather than turning against him.

Master Ye You’s eyes were sharp. He said, “I don’t need any mercy from any cultivators. I agreed to help the Dishastan build a teleportation array for them because of Divine Stone. But I died in the hands of the enemies of the Dishastan. This is my fate. Life or death is not something to be afraid of. It’s not like I haven’t died before.”

Xue Tu’s heart was shocked again. He hadn’t expected to see a genuinely fearless person who didn’t care about life or death.

There were no other words to describe his feelings at this moment except admiration.

The Seven-Armed Elder smiled and transmitted to Zhang Ruochen, “Trust me. If you really kill him, he’ll be more cowardly than anyone else. He claimed he had escaped from pseudo god at that time. But, he was actually kneeling on the ground, begging for mercy, crying, and acknowledging the pseudo god as godfather. He even gave away all the Divine Stones he had before the pseudo god let him go. In fact, his pseudo god godfather was not as old as he was.”

Zhang Ruochen walked toward Master Ye You expressionlessly. The Ancient Abyssal Blade flew into his hand and said, “Okay, I’ll fulfill your wish. I can take your soul power and feed it to my eighteen Six-Tribulation Ghost Lord.”

“Zhang Ruochen!”

Master Ye You suddenly shouted and burst into tears. He said sincerely, “I’ve heard that humans are most compassionate. Since you have human blood, I only beg you to protect a planet for me after you kill me.”

“I’ve secretly saved all the humans on that planet. Their world has been destroyed, their country has been destroyed, and their families have been separated. Sigh. If I die, all the humans on this planet will be killed by the cultivators of the Ghost, and their souls will be devoured. Please, protect this planet for me. Please!”

“Okay, I promise you.” Zhang Ruochen held the hilt of his sword with both hands and activated the Earth Sword Soul to adjust his chopping posture.

“Zhang Ruochen!”

Master Ye You shouted again and said, “Y-You haven’t asked me where the planet is.”

“It’s okay. I can find out with the power of Xue Jue Family.”

Zhang Ruochen adjusted his chopping posture again.

Ji Fanxin couldn’t bear it. She stopped Zhang Ruochen and said, “Zhang Ruochen, can you spare his life for me?”

“No. Every cultivator will hold a grudge. If you spare his life, there will be endless trouble.” Zhang Ruochen was tough.

Ji Fanxin said, “I’ll trade with the favor you owe me.”

“The favor is great,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Ji Fanxin said, “I know.”

Zhang Ruochen sighed in his heart. No wonder the Mandala Goddess wanted to seal her cultivation and spiritual power so she could slowly practice from the lowest realm.

As expected, there was still a lack of hone.

Even Xue Tu might be able to scheme against someone like her. Let alone those old and cunning people in divinity.

Of course, Ji Fanxin was very intelligent and wise among her peers. It could only be said that Master Ye You was too smart and knew the weakness of human nature.

He knew Zhang Ruochen would not kill him from the moment Zhang Ruochen suppressed and did not kill him.

In that case, deliberately pretending to be fearless of life or death would make Zhang Ruochen think highly of him, and he can have a greater chance of survival.

When Zhang Ruochen wanted to kill him, he immediately changed his attitude and began to appeal to pathos. He tried to win Zhang Ruochen’s sympathy and make Zhang Ruochen refrain from taking action.

After all, all the humans on a planet would die after killing him.

If without the reminder from the Seven-Armed Elder, who was familiar with Master Ye You. Zhang Ruochen, a cultivator with The Heart of Truth, might have been deceived by him and let him go. Not to mention Ji Fanxin, who had refused death.

Seeing that Zhang Ruochen seemed to hesitate, Master Ye You said righteously, “Miss, no need to plead for me. I was able to escape from the pseudo god, but I fell into the hands of a Hundred-Shackle Realm Supreme Saint. I’m already content to see such a peerless genius in my life. I am honored to be killed by an unparalleled Yuanhui level genius.”

Then he said with a choked voice, “Zhang Ruochen, you must go to that planet immediately after you kill me. You must do it immediately. The humans on that planet can’t leave me for even a moment. Please, please! Kill me, kill me now!”

“As you can see, he is the one who wants to die.”

Zhang Ruochen said to Ji Fanxin and swung his sword downward.

Before the sword fell, Master Ye You had already knelt down. He stretched out a hand and shouted, “Godfather, wait.”

Ji Fanxin and Xue Tu were stunned. They looked at Master Ye You in disbelief.

What was going on?

Zhang Ruochen was also stunned. He wasn’t surprised that Master Ye You would suddenly kneel down. After all, he had expected that he would surrender soon.

He was surprised that Master Ye You had dissolved much of the Curse of Light and Dark in such a short time. He could move freely, but his spiritual power and cultivation were still cursed and could not be used.

He was indeed a strong cultivator.

Master Ye You pressed his hands on the ground and kowtowed three times. Then, he raised his head and stared at Zhang Ruochen with tears. He said, “I thought about it carefully. In the end, I still worried about the humans on that planet. I have to be alive for them. I have to stay strong even if I have to kneel down or have to acknowledge someone as my father.”

“Godfather, can you take me in? I will be at your disposal from now on.”

How could Ji Fanxin and Xue Tu not understand? The legendary cultivator, Master Ye You, was not a strong person at all. His level of cowardice was even worse than a mortal.

Ji Fanxin was embarrassed and angry. A cold look appeared in her eyes.

She had thought that she had experienced enough, had seen all kinds of things in the world, and had long been able to understand people’s hearts. But now, it seemed that she had not experienced enough.

She regained her calmness and indifference soon. She convinced herself that this would only allow her to grow and that she would not make the same mistake in the future.

Master Ye You was at least 20,000 years old. Zhang Ruochen wanted to chop him down with his sword when he called him godfather.

Zhang Ruochen knew very well that Master Ye You was indeed a talent. Like the Seven-Armed Elder, he was valuable in specific fields that even gods could not replace.

More importantly, he was a wandering cultivator.

It would be advantageous if he could take such a talent for his use.

Zhang Ruochen squatted down and looked at Master Ye You. He said, “Actually, I never thought of killing you from the beginning to the end.”

Master Ye You’s eyes shone brightly.

Zhang Ruochen patted his shoulder and said, “I don’t want an old foster son like you, but I can make an exception to take an in-name disciple.”

After Master Ye You knew that he had been schemed against, he seemed to have come to terms with it. He stopped pretending and smiled coldly.

He could kneel down and call others as a father to save his life.

He could do extraordinary things in times of emergency.

What was more important than saving his life?

However, he looked down on a Hundred-Shackle Realm Supreme Saint in his heart.

Zhang Ruochen said, “My cultivation is indeed shallow. “I don’t seem to be worthy of being your master. However, have you thought about another problem? Being my disciple is known as Saint Monk Xumi’s grand disciple. Not every cultivator in this world is qualified to be his grand disciple. Think about it if you want to improve your dimensional attainments or become a god. You don’t have much time left, do you?”

With that, Zhang Ruochen continued to study the unfinished dimensional teleportation array.
