My gorgeous wife Chapter 2273 - 2241: Go Ahead and Do It

"Ancestor, I’m sorry, it’s the disciple’s incompetence!"

Kneeling before the statue, Ye Xiangdong’s face was full of tears.

Ye Xiangdong’s true cultivation had already reached the Great Scorching level, and had even approached the Infinite Level.

Of course, this was only his cultivation, and even he was unsure of his true strength.

The main reason was that he didn’t really understand how powerful the ’God of Slaughter’ left in his mind by a strong Li surnamed person truly was.

But ever since the changes between Heaven and Earth over a hundred years ago, cultivators had increased, and some veteran strong cultivators whose cultivation had originally stagnated also underwent metamorphosis during this change. Over the past years, ascenders had appeared constantly throughout the Tianchen Continent, and in contrast, with only a ’Black Rope’ supporting the Ye Qiu Sect, it seemed all the more insignificant.

Ye Xiangdong was not without ambition to revive the Ye Qiu Sect, but it had been declining for nearly two hundred years. How easy was it to achieve this single-handedly in such an era of flourishing diversity?

Yet to revive the Ye Qiu Sect, there was no choice but to challenge one formidable cultivator after another.

What Ye Xiangdong feared most was not his own life or death but who could take on responsibilities for Ye Qiu Sect if he were to die in battle?

Lu Tang’s sympathy for him was not without reason.

Though in this generation there seemed to be a few strong cultivators who could maintain a presence, in reality, only he could actually handle matters.

"Ancestor, if you are still somewhere in the starry sky, if you still remember Ye Qiu Sect, could you give the disciple a response, telling him what he should do?"

Ye Xiangdong’s voice was full of bitterness.

He was aware that the identities of his few junior brothers and sisters were mysterious, but once he eliminated them, even if he dared, would their backing forces easily let it go?

Could the Ye Qiu Sect remain peaceful?

"How you should proceed, you’ve actually already had the answer in your heart, haven’t you?"

A clear voice unexpectedly sounded from behind Ye Xiangdong.

Ye Xiangdong froze, then suddenly tensed up with a killing intent rising from his eyes.

The Ye Qiu Sect no longer had anything of value, and now perhaps only his recent words were valuable.

This secret absolutely couldn’t be known by anyone!

When Ye Xiangdong turned around, he saw a stranger standing behind him, looking at him with a compassionate gaze.

"Who are you?!" Ye Xiangdong stared intently at the stranger, asking in a deep voice.

The stranger smiled slightly: "Remember ten years ago when you almost succumbed to demonization but suddenly awakened to the Burning Heat Level?"

Ye Xiangdong heard these words and furrowed his brow even more tightly; this matter was considered his personal secret. Even his junior brothers and sisters didn’t know, and he wouldn’t disclose it. How did this stranger know?

"Five years ago, when you broke through to Great Scorching, you were ambushed by an unidentifiable assailant, but you luckily survived, and as a result Seizing the opportunity in misfortune, you succeeded in breaking through." The stranger continued.

"Two years ago, a disciple from Ye Qiu Sect was humiliated during his travels, finally retaliating fiercely and killing that inner disciple from the Ye Qiu Sect. Despite the incident, the Ye Qiu Sect sent no response." The stranger continued.

As the stranger unrushed narrated events, Ye Xiangdong’s forehead kept breaking out in cold sweat.

The stranger looked closely at Ye Xiangdong and slowly shook his head: "I have observed you for ten years, and during these ten years, you have disappointed me somewhat."

"Thud!"

Finally understanding the circumstances, Ye Xiangdong knelt directly to the stranger.

"Senior, was it you who secretly helped Ye Qiu Sect?" Ye Xiangdong asked in a trembling voice.

Upon hearing Ye Xiangdong, the stranger gently shook his head: "Not helping Ye Qiu Sect, just you alone."

"Helping me?" Ye Xiangdong raised his head in confusion, not understanding why this powerful senior he couldn’t perceive was helping him.

Looking at Ye Xiangdong, the stranger’s gaze seemed somewhat complicated: "If I’m not mistaken, your inheritance comes from a relative of mine."

Relative?

Ye Xiangdong pondered, instinctively recalling the Li surnamed powerhouse who was unimaginably strong; was he a relative of this senior?

Li Chen slowly turned his head, looked at the sky behind him.

This appearance indicated his imminent departure.

Over the past ten years, he had not only observed Ye Xiangdong but also Ye Qiu Sect and the Tianchen Continent.

He didn’t know why the old man left his inheritance or what he intended to do.

But undoubtedly, a strong cultivator leaving behind an inheritance without cause signifies embarking on a dangerous mission, possibly risking demise.

"Old man, in your view, is your son so incapable?"

"What dangerous endeavor are you undertaking that you can’t tell me? Not even informing the elder or younger, and leaving secretly with You Xue?"

"How come you have my disposition, enjoying tackling everything by yourself? Do you know, I actually hate this aspect of my personality!"

Li Chen clenched his fists, finally closing his eyes silently.

Having stayed on the Tianchen Continent for ten years, he hadn’t found where Li Changcun had gone.

Seemingly guessing he would come here, Li Changcun had erased traces of himself before departing.

If not for Li Chen relying on cultivation in the Palm Realm following a certain path, finding the inheritance left by Li Changcun on Ye Xiangdong, he may not have found this place.

Li Chen remained silent for a long time.

Ye Xiangdong stood behind Li Chen without daring to speak a word.

"Do what you wish to do." After some time, Li Chen finally opened his mouth, his voice slightly hoarse.

"Senior, your meaning is..." A flash of surprise crossed Ye Xiangdong’s eyes. Clearly, in his mind, this senior could even assist in his breakthrough and silently fend off powerful entities like the Palm Immortal Sect; his cultivation must be beyond imagination.

With such a powerful presence as a backing, what should he fear?

"Don’t overthink; I won’t assist you in anything or support you." Li Chen calmly spoke: "In these ten years, all I could do has been done, providing you opportunity and time. But as I said, you disappointed me."

"My encouragement is because I hope your inheritance isn’t wasted, doesn’t disgrace your inheritance, and doesn’t bring shame to the ’God of Slaughter’ Divine Skill." Li Chen emphasized each word.

Shame crossed Ye Xiangdong’s face.

Li Chen closed his eyes again but hadn’t uttered one last sentence.
