Ye Jian floated down the walls of the Ye Family's castle and walked forward resolutely. There was no trace of nostalgia or regret in his footsteps.
He knew that once he took this step, he would never be able to turn back. Although his surname was still Ye, he would never be a member of the Ye Family, including his three sons.
However, he still stepped forward resolutely. He was only 50 years old and had already cultivated to the Sage Realm. He was at the peak of his life. He did not want to spend the rest of his life in the damned Condemnation Cliff. He was used to being high and mighty. He was used to hugging his concubines and drinking morning tea. He was used to living a luxurious life.
In front of the Enchanted Garden, Ye Dao's son had crippled his son and killed Ye Rong. Ye Tianlong was so angry that he imprisoned him in the Condemnation Cliff for six years. He tolerated it. With his stubborn attitude, he coincidentally broke through the Sage Realm and came out.
However, not long after, he came back to this place again. This time, he might be imprisoned for the rest of his life!
He was unwilling and extremely angry. However, he did not dare to run away. After all, he had to think for his three sons. Then, the Divine Master came and flattened the back mountain of the Ye Family with one palm. He almost buried him alive and imprisoned the Ye Family's castle! However, he did not run away. He did not know whether Ye Ruoshui was dead or alive. Therefore, he did not dare to run away.
Four years had passed and Ye Ruoshui still did not appear. However, he received a message from the God Slaying Guards. Therefore, he did not hesitate and escaped without turning back.
The night in Cang City was very quiet. It was so quiet that it was a little depressing. The usually bustling streets were now empty. There was not even the sound of barking dogs.
Ye Jian did not stop. He walked forward quickly and entered the Governor's Residence of Cang City.
The Governor's Residence was still the original Governor's Residence. It was still dignified and luxurious. However, he was not the master of this place. Ye Jian felt a little lonely as he looked at the familiar scenery and walked into the main hall of the mansion.
There was someone in the main hall, but there was only one. A tall man stood with his hands behind his back facing the door. He seemed to be waiting for Ye Jian's arrival.
"Greetings, God Slaying Guard!" Ye Jian hesitated for a moment. Finally, he bowed and cupped his hands respectfully.
"Sit!"
The God Slaying Guard turned his head over with a smile on his face. He pointed to the chair at the side and said indifferently. Although his expression seemed elegant, because of his bulbous nose bridge, which was like a garlic, when he spoke, it gave him an invisible, wild, and domineering aura.
"My lord, where are my three useless sons? Did I do something stupid? He actually had to trouble his Excellency to pass a message! If it's serious, just help me teach him a lesson. There's no need to be polite! "
Ye Jian did not feel restrained at all and sat down very generously. The God-Slaying Guard had only sent him a voice transmission: "If you want to know about the situation of his three sons, come to the City Lord's Mansion for a chat." He knew very well that the Divine City was using his son to recruit him, so he went straight to the point. Although he was asking about the safety of his three sons, his expression did not change in the slightest. His ambitious and ruthless temperament was unmistakable.
"Keke, Brother Ye is too serious. Your three young masters are outstanding talents, and the Massacre God Guards admire them very much. I specially invited them to the Divine City as guests and even gave them a big mansion, countless beauties, and elixirs. I value them very much! " The God-Slaying Guard smiled faintly and did not say anything superfluous. He directly threw out an olive branch and said, "Of course, the Divine City admires Brother Ye very much. I would like to invite Brother Ye to the Divine City as a guest. I wonder if Brother Ye will give me face?"
"Keke, thank you for your kindness, my lords!"
Ye Jian let out a long laugh and cupped his hands. He had chased after power all his life, so he naturally understood the meaning behind the God-Slaying Guard's words. The God-Slaying Guard was clearly saying that his three sons were in his hands. If he went to the Divine City, his three sons would be able to eat well, drink well, and have countless beauties and elixirs. If he did not go, humph humph …
Of course, Ye Jian was not forced by the God-Slaying Guard's secret threats. His expression was still calm as he said slowly, "Ye Jian has actually been longing for the Divine City for a long time. I also have a lot of respect for the four lords and the Divine Master. It's just that with the Ye Family's current situation, how could Ye Jian just ignore it? Moreover, Ye Jian's strength is slightly low. If he goes to the Divine City, I'm afraid he will only make a fool of himself. Thank you for your hospitality! "
On the surface, Ye Jian's words seemed to be rejecting the God-Slaying Guard's invitation. However, when the God-Slaying Guard heard it, his smile became even wider. The corner of his mouth curled up, and his two big nostrils flared even more. He could hear the meaning behind Ye Jian's words. Ye Jian had been longing for the Divine City for a long time, which meant that he wanted to join the Divine City. By mentioning the Ye Family's situation, it was like being a prostitute and still wanting to maintain a chastity. It meant that he was very loyal and they could use him without worry. His strength was slightly low? Afraid of making a fool of himself? It was obvious that he wanted status and qualifications.
Since he had a request, it would be easy!
The God-Slaying Guard muttered to himself, but he did not continue Ye Jian's words. Instead, he brought up another matter, "My lords? Brother Ye might not know this, but there are actually only three guards in the Divine City now. The God-Slaying Guard died in an accident some time ago. After that, the God-Slaying Guard chose a person, but the Divine Master was not very satisfied. Because of this, the three of us are very troubled. I wonder … Brother Ye, do you have a good candidate in mind? You only need to be a Martial Sage, but you must have a heart of respect for the Divine City's Divine Master. You must be someone who dares to fight! "
"The God-Slaying Guard's soul actually passed away?"
When Ye Jian heard this, his expression changed. Of course, it was not because of the God-Slaying Guard's death, but because of the Divine City's generosity. The Divine City was actually prepared to let him inherit the position of the God-Slaying Guard?
One should know that for thousands of years, there were countless Martial Sages in the Divine City. However, on the surface, there were only four guards of the Divine City. Although the God-Slaying Guard was ranked last, his position was still incomparable to Gao Song. Even before he became a God, Gao Song would have to bow to him. Now, he actually …
Although he was not sure what the Divine City's motive was, Ye Jian was prepared to seize this opportunity. His expression became calm again and he said with a hint of sorrow, "Lord God-Slaying Guard, Ye Jian was fortunate enough to see his heroic bearing once. I did not expect him to be a hero of his generation. Sigh, this is so heart-wrenching … Mm, as for the people that you mentioned, I know a few of them. I can recommend them to you. These few people dare to fight and they are also very respectful of the Divine City. However, I do not know how to express their loyalty to the Divine City. "
"Old fox!"
The God-Slaying Guard cursed in his heart. He had thrown out such a huge bait and Ye Jian was obviously very tempted. However, he was still so careful. He did not want to waste time and said directly, "The Divine Master values the Four Guards of the Divine City very much. Brother Ye, I believe you know that the Four Guards of the Divine City represent the Divine City. Not only do they have to manage the Divine City, but they also have to bring the Divine Master to patrol the world. Therefore, the Divine Master has stipulated that the God-Slaying Guards must plant a Soul Seed to express their loyalty! "
"Soul Seed? I'm afraid this will be a little difficult … "
Ye Jian's expression changed slightly. As expected, he did not guess wrongly. The Divine City indeed had a backup plan. He couldn't help but hesitate. After all, after planting the Soul Seed, he would be a soul slave for life, even though he would be a soul slave of a higher level.
"Brother Ye, don't be anxious. I haven't finished speaking. According to the rules set by the Divine Master, if you don't take up this position, you can remove the Soul Seed and obtain the position of an Honorary Elder of the Divine City. If the person that Brother Ye recommended doesn't want to take up this position, I can guarantee that he will be able to live in seclusion. His descendants will also be able to enjoy endless glory and splendor! "The God-Slaying Guard looked at Ye Jian's gloomy eyes and gave him another dose of strong medicine.
"Haha … With such generous conditions, I think no one would reject it. That … I wonder if I have fulfilled the conditions of the Divine Master? " Ye Jian thought for a moment and finally made up his mind. The current conditions had already far exceeded his requirements. Moreover, the moment he stepped out of the Ye Family Fort, he had already cut off his path of retreat. If he didn't know how to take advantage of the situation, he would really be a fool.
The God-Slaying Guard laughed and stood up. He extended his hand to Ye Jian and said, "Haha! Of course, Brother Ye! Welcome to the Divine City. In the future, you will be the new God-Slaying Guard! "
"I'm very honored!"
Ye Jian also stood up and held the God-Slaying Guard's hand. However, his eyes were drifting outside, towards the Ye Family Fort. The corner of his mouth revealed a cruel smile.
