Chapter 622: Let’s Give It to Our Grandson

The old pallbearer had never suffered such a humiliation throughout his entire life. He felt like these two weren't even treating him as a fellow human being. In addition to robbing him blind, they thought he was dumb enough to fall to such a cheap trick as well. They had gone too far!

Meanwhile, the little girl in the distance frowned in confusion. She had covered her face, hadn't she? How come the old man still managed to recognize her?

However, the little girl didn't dwell on it any further and disappeared into the distant horizon with the coffin in tow.

The old pallbearer could only watch helplessly as his coffin vanished into the distance along with the two rascals...

Soon, he could no longer see the little girl and the white-furred creature.

The old pallbearer was in despair. It's gone!

He had lost his freedom after getting sealed by that woman's sword aura, and the coffin that he was supposed to protect had just been stolen right under his watch.

How come I'm so unlucky? The old pallbearer took a deep breath and glared into the distant horizon with a fierce look. "When the First God returns, I'll make you all wish that you were dead!"

***

After running for a long time, the little girl and the white-furred creature finally stopped. They looked back and sighed in relief upon seeing that the old pallbearer had chosen not to chase after them.

The little girl walked up to the coffin and opened it.

The little girl and the white-furred creature stared into the coffin for a long time before the little girl closed the coffin and said, "Let's give it to our grandson."

The white-furred creature nodded eagerly.

The little girl put away the coffin and disappeared into the depths of the starry sky with the white-furred creature.

Chen Yu's expression was ugly as he stood at the entrance of the First God Paradise.

Mo Tiandu frowned at the sight and asked, "Is something wrong?"

Qin Yuan and Zhao Tianji also looked at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu nodded, his face looking somewhat grim as he said, "The soul lamps of the people that my Chen Clan has sent to the Time River have been extinguished."

Mo Tiandu, Qin Yuan, and Zhao Tianji frowned at the same time.

"It seems that we've underestimated Ye Guan's backer," Mo Tiandu said, "We need to reconsider our approach."

Chen Yu looked at Mo Tiandu and asked, "What do you suggest?"

Mo Tiandu replied, "First of all, we need to thoroughly investigate Ye Guan's background."

Qin Yuan also nodded. "Anyone who can obtain the inheritance of the First God must be extraordinary, so we should proceed with caution."

They certainly wouldn't underestimate Ye Guan. Anyone who could obtain the First God's inheritance was no ordinary person.

However, Chen Yu thought otherwise and said, "I believe now is our best opportunity."

All eyes turned to Chen Yu as he continued, "The forces behind him are undoubtedly formidable, but they're all in the Time River right now, and it's definitely difficult for them to come here. In other words, Ye Guan is currently isolated from his backers, making this the perfect time for us to strike."

Mo Tiandu furrowed his brows.

Chen Yu went on, "Furthermore, we're all Descendants of the Gods. Is there any group in this world that are stronger than us? Moreover, we've united by virtue of an alliance."

"How can we force Ye Guan out from there?" Qin Yuan asked.

"Let's take our time," Chen Yu said, "Haven't we sent our people in there to negotiate with the local forces inside? If they're willing to cooperate, it'd be great. Otherwise, we'll have to sacrifice some of our trump cards to summon the spirits of our ancestors."

The spirits of the ancestors! It could only mean one thing—summoning the god behind their clan!

Like the Wang Clan, they had their own trump card as well, which were the life-saving cards that the god from their respective clan had left behind for them.

Mo Tiandu nodded slightly and said, "I guess we'll have to do that if there's no other way."

This trip to the First God Paradise was a profitable endeavor so far. They weren't worried about getting exposed, as outsiders couldn't come in, and those inside couldn't easily leave the place.

Mo Qiao soon found himself inside the great hall of the Wu Clan, and he handed over the hundred strands of Ancestral Origin to Xuan Yin.

"Clan Master Xuan, here are the hundred strands of Ancestral Origin that you've requested from us," Mo Qiao said.

Xuan Yin glanced at the hundred strands of Ancestral Origin. Then, she waved her sleeve to collect them.

Mo Qiao smiled faintly and said, "Clan Leader Xuan, It's a pleasure to be working with you."

Xuan Yin glanced at Mo Qiao and smiled. "Ye Guan is very cunning. The Wu Clan has been hunting him down, and he knows that, so he's been hiding. It might take some time for us to find him."

Mo Qiao hesitated briefly before asking, "Roughly how much time?"

Xuan Yin smiled. "I'll find him as soon as possible. How about that?"

Mo Qiao felt somewhat dissatisfied upon receiving an ambiguous answer, but there was nothing he could do. "

I'll wait for your good news," Mo Qiao said, nodding.

Xuan Yin nodded. "This is a dangerous place, so I suggest you stay in our Wu Clan for the time being."

Mo Qiao didn't refuse the offer. "All right."

Xuan Yin was right; this place was dangerous for them.

After Xuan Yin's departure, a representative behind Mo Qiao said in a deep voice, "Elder Mo Qiao, why do I feel like this Wu Clan isn't very reliable?"

"Right now, we can only trust them," Mo Qiao replied.

The elder nodded slightly and went silent. Thanks to the seal, they could only trust the Wu Clan.

Meanwhile, Xuan Yin left the Wu Clan and headed for a certain mountain range.

Ye Guan was in the middle of cultivating, but he stopped the moment he saw Xuan Yin.

"Clan Leader Xuan," Ye Guan said, smiling.

Xuan Yin's expression was solemn as she stared at Ye Guan. It couldn't be helped, as she had noticed that Ye Guan had been resisting the seal on a daily basis. Moreover, Ye Guan had improved by leaps and bounds in such a short period of time.

Regaining her composure, Xuan Yin smiled and said, "Master Ye, the representatives of the four Divine Spirit clans have visited our Wu Clan."

Wiping away the sweat on his face, Ye Guan smiled and said, "I suppose they want the Wu Clan to capture me?"

"Yes."

"What are you going to do?"

Xuan Yin stared with narrowed eyes at Ye Guan. "You really are heartless. Would I have come here by myself if I wanted to capture you?"

Ye Guan smiled. "Thank you."

Xuan Yin sounded serious as she said, "Master Ye, I can only buy time for you. The four Divine Spirit Clans are not going to give up, so you better come up with plans to confront them sooner rather than later."

"I know," Ye Guan said. He then opened his palm, and thirty strands of Ancestral Origin floated toward Xuan Yin.

Xuan Yin's brows furrowed. "What's the meaning of this?"

"I just want to say thank you for your help. These are tokens of my appreciation. Please accept them."

Xuan Yin was somewhat displeased as she said, "Master Ye, you've misunderstood me. I'm helping you because I consider you as my friend; I'm not helping you because I'm expecting to receive strands of Ancestral Origin as payment. I feel insulted by your offer to give me these strands of Ancestral Origin."

Strands of Ancestral Origin were precious, and they had come from Ye Guan as well, which meant that they were incredibly pure. Mo Qiao's strands of Ancestral Origin couldn't even compare to Ye Guan's own strands, but Xuan Yin knew that sometimes, a relationship was more valuable than Ancestral Origin.
