“Cousin, are we really going to fight him?”

“Fight my ass. According to procedure, we have to report this upward before taking action. So let’s withdraw first!”

“Cousin, that’s not what you were saying just now!”

“Shut up. Keep talking and I’ll make you stay behind to cover the retreat!”

Very quickly, Cui Beiye abandoned the head on strategy and used voice transmission to synchronize a retreat plan with his cousin Cui Fenglang.

The reason for such a drastic change in attitude was entirely because of the ancient lamp in Qi Renjia’s hand.

It could intimidate and seize souls. Even that reckless madman from before had already fallen.

So what the hell were they supposed to keep fighting for?

A support role that specialized in scavenging kills could never replace the main force.

That was an unchanging law.

Unfortunately, before Cui Beiye and Cui Fenglang could escape, an invisible force suddenly restrained them.

No matter how hard they struggled, they could not move even the slightest bit and could only watch helplessly as Qi Renjia approached step by step while holding the crimson ancient lamp.

“Why?

Why are all of you forcing me like this?!

Qi Jiang was like this, and now you’re the same!

I already told you, I didn’t know that bastard was from your Cui family! Why won’t you listen to my explanation?

Why is it so hard to leave me a way to survive?

Ah!”

Qi Renjia’s expression had become completely deranged. Because he was too agitated, saliva even sprayed out with the last word.

It landed directly on the faces of Cui Beiye and Cui Fenglang.

The physical damage was zero.

But the mental damage was absolutely devastating.

Honestly speaking, the two of them wanted to die right then and there.

But there was no need to think about it anymore.

Judging from the violent divine power fluctuations erupting from Qi Renjia’s body, he clearly intended to silence them permanently.

Death was their only possible ending.

Although Cui Fenglang had no idea what kind of divine artifact the ancient lamp was, he instinctively feared it.

Heavens, can’t some big brother come save us already?

I still haven’t finished eating all the candy I stored at home!

Perhaps heaven really did hear Cui Fenglang’s plea.

In the next instant, the entire blessed land was dyed gray.

The moment Qi Renjia sensed something wrong, he immediately realized disaster had struck.

But Ye Yu gave him no time whatsoever to react.

He instantly closed the distance and killed Qi Renjia on the spot with a single strike.

Thus fell the head of the Qi family.

The moment Ye Yu dispersed All Beings Equal, one hand caught the crimson ancient lamp while the other forcibly extracted Qi Renjia’s divine soul and began reading his memories.

After Qi Renjia died, the restraints vanished. Cui Fenglang and Cui Beiye immediately retreated half a step and assumed defensive stances.

After all, they had no idea whether Ye Yu was friend or foe.

Seeing their reaction, Ye Yu softly said, “Relax. I won’t attack you.”

The moment he heard this, Cui Fenglang immediately let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly thanked him.

“Many thanks, Senior, for saving our lives. We’ll never forget this kindness. But there’s something I’ve really wanted to ask, um...”

“You can wait before asking that.”

Ye Yu directly interrupted him. Then, with a casual wave of his hand, he brought Han Qianzhang’s body along and shot away at high speed.

Seeing this, Cui Fenglang stood there awkwardly.

His thoughts churned nonstop.

He really looks familiar!

And he even knows my name. Where exactly have I seen him before?

“Cui Fenglang, go back and tell your eldest sister Cui Yanshui to wait for me at home. I’ll come see her very soon!”

Ye Yu’s voice drifted over from the distance.

Hearing this, Cui Fenglang suddenly slapped Cui Beiye hard on the thigh.

“I remember now! He’s the man Big Sister has been searching for all this time! Haven’t we all seen his portrait before?”

“Oh, now I remember too. But why did you slap my leg? That hurt like hell!”

Cui Beiye’s face turned pale from pain, but he still grabbed Cui Fenglang by the collar and continued speaking.

“Idiot, hurry up and chase after him! Didn’t Big Sister say that whoever brings back the man named Ye Yu can ask for anything they want?

That’s a walking treasure vault! We can’t wait for him to come to us. We have to bring him back ourselves!

Go! Go already!”

Cui Fenglang’s eyes instantly lit up.

That’s right.

If Ye Yu went to the Cui family himself, then nobody would get the reward.

But if he personally brought Ye Yu back now, that would be a heaven defying achievement.

The math behind this was unbelievably simple.

Even an idiot knew what to do.

Cui Fenglang hurriedly chased after him, but by the time he reached the outside, Ye Yu had already vanished without a trace.

Just like that, a tremendous opportunity slipped through his fingers.

Cui Fenglang felt utterly miserable inside.

How did he just let him leave like that?

And Ye Yu too. What urgent matter did he have to rush off so quickly for?

As it happened, Ye Yu truly was in a hurry.

After reading Qi Renjia’s memories, he learned many things.

Just as Qi Jiang had said, three hundred years ago, Qi Renjia escaped alive from a secret realm and really had been poisoned.

If he wanted to continue living, he had to kill blood relatives in exchange for more lifespan.

Although that method of survival would be condemned by the entire world, Qi Renjia firmly believed he would eventually lead the Qi family back to prosperity.

Therefore, the deaths of so many clansmen were all worth it.

And the reason he possessed such overwhelming confidence was because he had not returned empty handed from that secret realm.

He had obtained a damaged divine artifact.

The Great Thousand Soul Seizing Lamp!

This object could forcibly extract a target’s divine soul and imprison it inside the lamp, where it would suffer the agony of burning flames.

Although there were many restrictions, once it succeeded, victory or defeat would instantly be decided!

Because the divine artifact was incomplete, although the enemy’s divine soul would be dragged into the Great Thousand Soul Seizing Lamp, completely erasing the soul required an extremely long time.

For someone like Han Qianzhang, who was in the Ancient God Realm, it would take at least one or two months to burn him to death completely.

So for the time being, Ye Yu had no intention of releasing Han Qianzhang’s divine soul.

Keeping him sealed inside the Great Thousand Soul Seizing Lamp like this was not bad either. At the very least, there was no need to worry about him doing anything strange.

And the real reason Ye Yu was in such a hurry to leave...

Was because Qi Renjia had just sensed Duan Nianzhi’s aura.

This woman was the lord of Zhefengdu Divine City, and also the person Qi Jiang claimed was the true controller behind Han Qianzhang.

In Qi Renjia’s eyes, Duan Nianzhi was a complete lunatic.

No one could ever predict the way she acted.

Everyone only knew that Duan Nianzhi had not shown herself for an extremely long time.

But what none of them knew was that she had actually remained inside one of the side halls of Divine City all along.

Duan Nianzhi had forcefully attempted to break into the Divine Sovereign Realm and failed, triggering a backlash from the laws of heaven and earth.

Her divine body completely shattered.

Only a single strand of her divine soul remained, barely clinging to existence.

From that point onward, she could only remain hidden within Divine City and spend every day healing her injuries.

After Duan Nianzhi’s accident, it was not as though Qi Renjia had never considered taking over Zhefengdu Divine City for himself.

But considering it was one thing. Actually doing it required careful thought from many angles.

Because when it came to a madwoman like Duan Nianzhi, nobody knew how many trump cards she still possessed!
