At the same time, Su Zhen had the highest status in the Su Clan. His status was higher than the current Clan Master and Sumo.
Su Zhen was at the fifth level of the Divine Martial Realm. He had passed the Oblivion Wind Tribulation a long time ago. His cultivation hadn't improved in the past thousand years. He was at the same level as a genius like Ye Xuan, but he had thousands of years of battle experience and research time. In front of Ye Xuan, Su Zhen was still a terrifying figure.
After the death of the previous leader of the Ye Clan, the Ye Clan had been suppressed. Ye Xuan had reached the fifth level of the Divine Martial Realm, which had created a legend in the Serene Hell Mansion, the fastest person to reach the fifth level of the Divine Martial Realm.
Ye Xuan was the strongest cultivator in the Ye Clan, and this smiling old man was the strongest cultivator in the Su Clan.
Just by looking at Sumo's respectful attitude towards this old man, Long Chen could roughly guess that this old man was the Old Devil of the Su Clan.
"There's a hostage."
As soon as they arrived, Su Zhen saw the hostage in Long Chen's hand. Long Chen reached out his hand and made a grabbing motion in the air. Long Chen's Floating Blood went out of control and slashed across Su Xue's neck, cutting her windpipe and esophagus. It even cut off half of her head.
Long Chen had no choice but to put the Floating Blood away.
However, Su Xue's injuries were too severe. In front of such a huge injury, her physical body had already died. A white light flashed out from Su Xue's head and a white little person appeared, looking around blankly. The little person looked terrified and looked similar to Su Xue. It must be Su Xue's God Martial Spirit. After the death of her physical body, Su Xue's God Martial Spirit could still last for a while. That was how the five Sovereigns had survived.
However, the pressure on the three Sovereign Regions seemed to be greater. Even the God Martial Spirit couldn't last for too long.
"A hostage is a disgrace. We can't let go of the God Martial Spirit." After saying that, the old man reached out his hand again.
At this moment, Ye Xuan stood in front of him and took out a transparent crystal bottle. She put Su Xue's God Martial Spirit into it and put it away. Then, she looked at Sumo and Su Zhen with hatred in her eyes.
"You even killed your own people. Su Zhen, you've lost your mind."
This old man had also given Long Chen a deep shock. Even Long Chen himself wouldn't be able to do this.
"What's the big deal? She's just at the first level of the Divine Martial Realm. There are many warriors like her in our Su Family. Becoming a hostage is a problem for the family. Granting her death is just so that she doesn't implicate the family. It's her honor. However, it seems that we also have a hostage in our hands. It's that Ye Xuan. I just came back from the Nether Battlefield. As for that Dugu Jun, hehe, you can only find him in the underworld." Su Zhen laughed.
Long Chen and Ye Xuan's faces changed immediately.
Long Chen clenched his fists. He knew that he was no match for his opponent. Otherwise, he would not have been able to control himself.
"You killed Grandpa Dugu."
Ye Xuan's breathing became heavier. It wasn't that she didn't live up to her expectations. It was just that she thought too highly of this old man. He had been with the Ye Family for a very long time. When Ye Xuan was still a child, Dugu Jun had already existed. He had originally planned to live out his remaining years, but Ye Xuan had asked him to protect Long Chen and Ye Xuan. Who would have thought that in the end, it would end up like this …
"Who said I killed him?"
Su Zhen smiled and said, "It's just that this old man overestimated himself. He risked his life to snatch Ye Xuan from my hands. In the end, in the battle against the five Underworld Generals, he used up all his True Yuan and died. Old people really can't do much. Unfortunately, even though he risked his life, Ye Xuan is still in my hands."
After Su Zhen arrived, Sumo lowered his head and didn't say a word.
For Long Chen, although he didn't have a deep relationship with Dugu Jun, he didn't think that such a good man would lose his life in order to save the two of them. Thinking of the old man's loving eyes, Long Chen felt as if there was a bomb buried in his body, and a raging fire burned within him.
Ye Xuan, who was next to him, felt the same way.
In such a high-level battle, Long Chen couldn't do anything. That was why he was so desperate for power. If he had the power of the God Martial Realm, it would be more or less enough. At least he would be able to help a little.
Unfortunately, the current him wasn't eye-catching at all.
Dugu Jun's death had touched Ye Xuan's bottom line. She could still tolerate Sumo's betrayal, but Dugu Jun's death was something she absolutely couldn't tolerate.
At this moment, there was a fluctuation on Ye Xuan's body that made Long Chen's heart palpitate. He took a few steps back, and what he saw was that on Ye Xuan's beautiful face, there was a total of three blood red scars, intersecting with each other. This did not affect her beauty, but under her originally gentle beauty, there was a kind of bloody killing intent.
"Are you angry? Do you want to fight? But, it's not the time yet."
Su Zhen didn't seem worried at all. He waved his hand at Ye Xuan and said, "The Seven Slaughter Bloodline, you've awakened three of them. You're indeed extraordinary. Your previous Patriarch spent thousands of years and only managed to awaken three bloodlines."
After sighing with emotion for a while, Su Zhen then said, "Today is not the time to make a move. Little girl, let me tell you clearly, Ye Xuan is in my hands, and his life and death are all under my control. If you don't want him to lose his arms and legs, then listen to me in the end, and do whatever I tell you to do. Of course, I won't make things difficult for you, the Dugu Jun is just a small character, in front of the real big benefits, he is insignificant, I think we have a common topic."
After saying this, he waited for Ye Xuan's reaction, but Ye Xuan acted as if she didn't hear what he said.
"Do you understand what I mean? I'm here to talk about cooperation. Your Ye Family is the descendant of the Killing God, and we are the ones who discovered the tomb. We are all qualified to compete for the inheritance of the Killing God. Other than us, no one else is qualified. Therefore, before we open the tomb, I don't want anyone else to know the whereabouts of the inheritance of the Killing God, including our Palace Lord, Ming Di and the others. However, if something unpleasant happens, let me tell you, Ye Xuan, your brother's life will not be spared. You should know that I, Su Zhen, have many tricks up my sleeves. These tricks can make a person suffer a hundred times more than death. I only need to give an order here. Therefore, you better suppress your killing intent. If you want to fight with me, I'll accompany you in the Killing God's tomb."
Sumo's plan had completely failed. They couldn't obtain the inheritance of the Killing God by taking over Ye Xuan's body. Therefore, Su Zhen could only use one method, which was to cooperate with the Ye Clan. Their qualification was Ye Xuan's life.
Everyone knew how important Ye Xuan was to her brother. As long as Ye Xuan was under their control, they wouldn't have to worry that this beautiful City Lord wouldn't give in.
"When we've decided on a time, we'll inform you. Within ten days, we will open the Killing God's tomb. Do you want to come alone, or do you want to summon all the powerful warriors of the Ye Clan?"
After saying that, Su Zhen laughed out loud. He didn't say anything else. He brought Sumo and flew away in the dark, leaving Long Chen and Ye Xuan standing there in a daze.
Long Chen knew why Ye Xuan didn't make a move here. There were two of them, and she was alone. Obviously, if she were to forcefully make a move, not only would she not be able to save Ye Xuan, she would most likely die here.
Therefore, she could only suppress the news of Ye Xuan being captured and Lord Dugu's death in her heart.
Looking at the dazed woman, Long Chen knew how much pressure she was under right now.
Among them, the thing that she couldn't believe the most was Sumo's betrayal. This matter was like a knife, stabbing into her heart. At this moment, the blood red lines on Ye Xuan's face had already disappeared. She looked at the boundless night sky in a daze.
Long Chen pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then said, "Their goal is the Killing God's inheritance. If Ye Xuan is in their hands, it will be very troublesome. If you're alone, you definitely won't be able to fight against the entire clan. Should I call all the Ye Clan's people in the Prefecture City?"
Long Chen's words pulled Ye Xuan back from her thoughts.
"What has happened has already happened. It doesn't matter if I remember it or hate it, it won't change anything. The most important thing now is to save Ye Xuan. Master, I've been through a lot. I think, let bygones be bygones. People should look forward to the future. I believe that in your heart, Sumo is already dead, and Ye Xuan is the one you should protect now. He's your little brother who will never betray you."
Ye Xuan turned her head back, her eyes were gradually waking up. From the gentle and beautiful image, to the state she was in today, her mentality had undergone a huge change. Being able to grow to this stage, she was never lacking in cold-bloodedness. Today, Sumo and Su Zhen had helped her regain her original self.
"You're right. Sumo, there's nothing for me to remember anymore. The most important thing now is to save my little brother's life. Of course, if the Killing God's inheritance falls into the hands of the Su Clan, it will be a disaster for the Ye Clan. Our two clans have been at odds for so many years, it's time for the real war to begin. From today onwards, the flames of war have been ignited."
Ye Xuan's tone gradually became cold.
Of course, this coldness was not directed at Long Chen.
"I'll inform the clan about this now and ask them to come here secretly. It's too difficult to save my little brother by myself." Ye Xuan said helplessly.
