“I...”

Wu Zhen tried to beg for mercy.

He had barely opened his mouth when Old Ge leapt straight onto his chest.

The tremendous impact nearly knocked his soul out of his body.

Seeing that Wu Zhen could still speak, Old Ge’s anger only flared further. He pulled out the Ancient Soul Suppression Spike and smashed it straight into Wu Zhen’s chest.

The thing did not look large, but its damage was maximized to the extreme.

It ignored the defenses of the divine body and struck directly at the soul.

Six spikes in a single second—Wu Zhen’s soul was nearly hammered apart.

The sight made everyone present shudder in fear.

They truly had not known before that this old man was so ruthless when he struck.

Next time he came around, whoever wanted to stop him could do it themselves. As for me, I’m not stopping him.

If the old man got angry and drove a spike into you, who wouldn’t be numb?

Zhu Xincheng raised a hand and stopped Old Ge.

It was not that she did not want Wu Zhen dead.

She was worried that if his soul scattered into nothingness, she would lose any clue to Xiaocui’s whereabouts.

So for now, Wu Zhen could not die.

With a casual motion, Zhu Xincheng extracted Wu Zhen’s soul and pulled up his memories to examine them. Afterward, she applied a slight bit of force.

The soul, already on the verge of collapse, completely dispersed into smoke.

After finishing all this, Zhu Xincheng looked at the still-fuming Old Ge and said softly, “Father, don’t be so angry. Also, I have one more favor to ask. Could you help me find Ye Yu?”

That single word—Father—made Old Ge go weak all over.

He had waited for that word for twenty million years!

He had never expected to hear it today.

Tears streamed down Old Ge’s face on the spot.

“Of course, my good daughter. Even if you wanted the stars in the sky, your father would drag them down for you. But what do you want with Ye Yu? That brat’s whereabouts are as elusive as drifting clouds!”

“I want him as my Dao partner. I’ve decided. It’s him.”

Zhu Xincheng’s voice was firm beyond doubt, though her eyes were gentle.

Old Ge froze on the spot.

He had just sent off one blond brat, and now an even bigger one had appeared!

That kid was far more dashing than himself. Dao partners surrounded him one after another, each more stunning than the last, capable of toppling cities and nations.

Old Ge truly did not like him.

So he began to persuade her. “Cheng’er, matters of Dao partnership are no small thing. Why not think about it more? That brat—he already has Dao partners! Why not find someone who stays devoted to one woman? That way—”

Before Old Ge could finish, Zhu Xincheng raised her hand and interrupted him.

“Father, I’ve made up my mind. It’s him. So what if he has Dao partners? Just one or two—do you think I can’t compete?

Don’t worry about me. I’ll go rescue Xiaocui, then find medicine to detoxify you.

All these years, you’ve suffered for me.”

Hearing this, Old Ge felt both shock and joy.

Shock because he could not understand how Zhu Xincheng knew about the deadly poison in his body.

Joy because his daughter truly cared for him.

Li Mu, look—our daughter has finally grown up!

She likes Ye Yu, does she?

Fine. Even if I have to risk my life, I’ll make that prodigal son turn back!

...

Inside the Ye Residence in New City, Ye Yu suddenly sneezed heavily.

Yu Buxia quickly stepped forward. “Are you all right?”

“I’m fine, I’m fine!”

Ye Yu waved his hand repeatedly.

Ever since bringing Yu Buxia back from Balance City, she had become blazing passionate.

Especially during the time when Yinghuo was absent, even more so.

It left Ye Yu somewhat unaccustomed.

“I need to go out to find someone. During this time, you all stay at home. The God Realm hasn’t been peaceful lately. If there’s any movement on Yinghuo’s side, I’ll bring her back as well.”

Hearing this, Bone Ji, Xie Buyu, and Shen Fuxin all felt puzzled.

Hadn’t he just returned a few days ago?

Why was he going out again?

Yu Buxia smiled. “Who are you looking for, husband? Why not let me help you find them?

The God Realm is full of friends. It would be more efficient.”

To be fair, Yu Buxia’s network was indeed incredibly powerful.

She could practically become an intelligence broker.

But why use a butcher’s knife to kill a chicken?

That old fellow Ge was famous for doting on his daughter. He was surely near the Blazing Sun Sect. There was no need to put in effort to find him.

So Ye Yu declined Yu Buxia’s kind offer.

Bone Ji, Xie Buyu, and the others, however, looked expectant.

Clearly, they wanted Ye Yu to take them along.

It would count as accompanying him.

Ye Yu was just about to refuse.

A streak of light suddenly fell from the sky, rushing toward them at high speed.

As it descended above, Ye Yu immediately saw that it seemed to be a member of the Divine Clan.

But before he could clearly see the face, a layer of lightning power suddenly activated, repeatedly leaping across the divine body.

Immediately afterward, heavenly lightning and earthly fire erupted together, coating the figure in a layer of blackened charcoal.

The Divine Clan member’s life and death were uncertain as he collapsed outside the Ye Residence.

All of it was the automatic operation of the protective grand formation.

Even after arriving in the God Realm, Ye Yu’s mastery of formations remained unrivaled.

The formations he set up around his own home were naturally pushed to maximum effect.

Under normal circumstances, anyone below the Ancient God Realm would die without question.

But why did that figure just now seem somewhat familiar?

Curious, Ye Yu opened the formation barrier and walked out the front gate.

His Dao partners followed closely behind.

At the entrance, they saw a lump of black charcoal lying quietly on the ground, white steam still rising from it.

It looked like a giant piece of black pepper beef.

Yu Buxia stared at the barely human-shaped charcoal and could not help asking, “Who’s so bold as to force their way into our home?”

Shen Fuxin and Xie Buyu nodded in agreement.

Though the Ye Residence was small, none of the ladies here were easy to provoke. One was a city lord, another the leader of a divine alliance. With everyone present, unless you were at least in the God Lord Realm, don’t even think about stepping close.

Force your way in, and you die.

As for this little nobody in front of them, the formation alone had nearly killed him.

What was the point?

Bone Ji frowned slightly and said in a low voice, “Seems he’s not quite dead yet. I’ll finish him off.”

She drew out her divine artifact, ready to strike.

“Wait. Let’s see who it is first. Just now, it didn’t look like he was trying to force his way in.”

Ye Yu quickly stopped Bone Ji.

He wanted to tear off the layer of charcoal by hand but found it a bit dirty.

So he used divine power to stir up a gust of wind, blowing away the charred coating from the face.

Soon, the handsome features of a middle-aged man appeared before everyone.

At that moment, Little White returned from wandering outside.

Seeing everyone gathered at the gate of the Ye Residence, he curiously approached. “What are you all doing here? This is—wait, damn it, it’s this old bastard! Let me kick him a couple of times first!”
