King Yan was intimidated by Crazed Manor's aura. They were all madmen who weren't afraid of death. If there were only a few of them, there would be nothing to be afraid of. However, this army of a million wasn't afraid of death. Attacking Crazed Manor meant destroying their entire army. Crazed Manor clearly had more than this many soldiers. Would the Sages dare to kill tens of millions of them? Were they not afraid that the ruler's energy would no longer recognize them?
These Sages who had refined the ruler's energy source weren't true Sages. They didn't become Sages by virtue. Sovereign Yu of the Third Planet and the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors all relied on virtue to become Sages. There was a fundamental difference.
When the ruler's energy source no longer recognized the Sages, they were no longer Sages. They were only at the limit of the Progenitor Realm.
Ye Qinghan controlled this point, so he dared to compete with the Sages. At worst, he would fight. Otherwise, if he compromised today, he would have to compromise in the future.
King Yan stared at Ye Qinghan. He wanted the ruler's energy source. There weren't many people in the world who could become Sages by virtue. It required the most devout faith in the world, a faith without any flaws. Aside from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, no one could reach that level.
Even if the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors had disappeared for countless years, their descendants would still revere them as ancestors. Who could do this? If the Sages of the other secondary universes died, no one would remember them after three or five hundred years.
"There's no need for the Sages to act. Manor Lord Ye can't bear the greed of the world. That's all I have to say. If there comes a day when Manor Lord Ye regrets it, you can come find me. I'll help you," King Yan said calmly.
Ye Qinghan replied firmly, "If the Sages don't act, the world won't be able to do anything to Crazed Manor. Brother King Yan, thank you for the reminder. I hope we're not enemies."
Yan Chong smiled and said calmly, "You'll regret it. We'll meet again."
Whoosh …
Whoosh —
Yan Chong's figure flashed and appeared outside the city. He mobilized his fleet and quickly returned the way he came.
Ye Qinghan stared at Yan Chong's departing caravan, deep in thought. He predicted that the Sages' disciples and relatives would begin to lose their patience. The sovereign's energy represented the Sages, and perhaps even the sovereign. Everyone under the heavens would be tempted, including the Xuan Star Sage. Who knew what he was thinking in the depths of his heart?
"Husband, you can't keep wasting time like this. You're not a saint, and you'll definitely give others ideas. Their greed will get stronger and stronger, and eventually, it will endanger the entire Kuang Manor." Jian Chenxue could see through people's minds and could guess the outcome.
There were only two paths in front of Ye Qinghan. He could either refine Sovereign Ye or become a Sage himself.
There was no way out!
Ye Qinghan looked up at the sky. It was not that easy to transcend.
"I understand … Chenxue, you will be in charge of guarding the Heaven Suppressing Palace District. Now, leave all mortal affairs to my son. Focus on your closed-door training and try your best to reach the limit of the Ancestor level. If one day, the Kuang Manor is beyond redemption, I will buy you time to escape with Paragon Ye and try to reach the Ruler level."
Ye Qinghan took a deep breath and said solemnly.
"It's too risky …" Jian Chenxue said solemnly.
Not only would the Kuang Manor be in danger, but Ye Qinghan himself would also be in greater danger. If the saints were to act, they would only kill him.
But was there a better choice now? No. If he chose to compromise, the Kuang Manor's dignity would be gone, and they would live without dignity for the rest of their lives. They would be bullied by anyone and anyone could step on them.
Kacha!
Ye Qinghan clenched his fists and said solemnly, "I know it's risky, but if it really comes to a dead end, I will leave with the divine bird and fight alone. I will not compromise."
Jian Chenxue pulled Ye Qinghan's hand and said sadly, "We are not afraid of death. The Kuang Manor is still behind you, so you don't have to do this."
"This is my own business. I just wanted to intimidate Yan Chong and the people of the other sub-realms, so that the Kuang Manor can establish its prestige. However, if it really comes to a dead end, how can I lead the people of the Kuang Manor into the fire pit?" Ye Qinghan murmured.
Jian Chenxue frowned and said, "But you have also helped all of us a lot. At that time, you did not say that it was their own business. Why are you saying that it is your business now? You and I are husband and wife. What is your business? "
The corner of Ye Qinghan's mouth twitched slightly. Jian Chenxue was the most guilty person in his life. She always stood behind him without any complaints or regrets. She never envied or blamed anyone.
Whoosh!
Ye Qinghan turned around and hugged Jian Chenxue, whispering, "You should be the ruler … No one else in the world is worthy except for you."
Jian Chenxue's eyes were pure and flawless like pearls. At this moment, she leaned on Ye Qinghan's shoulder and said softly, "My love is too narrow. Your love is the true love. One day, someone will understand."
Jian Chenxue's love was not for the common people. She was willing to die for the Kuang Manor only because of Ye Qinghan. However, Ye Qinghan's heart wanted to establish a true sacred ground that would not be bullied by others.
"From today onwards, don't appear in this world again. Be prepared to leave at any time. If you wait until the day you leave, convert your love for me into love for the common people. I believe that you can become a Sage without refining the ruler's energy. Wait until you become a Sage, then try to refine the divine bird. When that time comes, perhaps you will have a chance to become a ruler. The current battles are all in the past," Ye Qinghan said softly.
If she refined Sovereign Ye now, she might only become a Saint. She was destined to never become a Ruler.
Whoosh!
Ye Qinghan's figure flashed and left the Heaven Suppressing City.
Shoosh — — —
Ye Qinghan broke through the waves and rushed towards the Human Sovereign Summit.
…
At this moment, Zhang Zhiyang was staring at this group of unknown people. Their target was the Heaven Suppressing Palace. They did not change their direction and continued to rush forward.
The Ancestor Realm leader of the thirteen people seemed to have noticed that Zhang Zhiyang was following them. His peripheral vision flashed and he led the twelve people away from the main city.
"Don't let that person escape later. Kill him." The leader said coldly.
"Your Highness Liu Zong, that person's identity … seems extraordinary. He might be a higher-up of the Kuang Manor. Won't we alert him now?" One of the Ancestor Realm whispered.
Liu Zong, the seventh son of the Cang Mu Sage. He was also the strongest among the seven sons closest to the Cang Mu Sage.
Liu Zong's eyes flashed coldly and he said, "So what if he's a higher-up? What I want is the Ruler's source. Anyone who dares to stop me will die. This person has been watching us. Sooner or later, he will expose our location … "
"Then leave this person to me. He's just a low-level Half Martial Ancestor. I can kill him with a wave of my hand." The low-level Ancestor Realm expert said coldly.
The group of adventurers then rushed towards a mountain range, preparing to kill Zhang Zhiyang.
Zhang Zhiyang relied on the energy given to him by Ye Qinghan to secretly follow them. He did not know that they were going to kill him in the heart of the Kuang Manor.
The mountain range was endless and there were many people traveling around. Coincidentally, one group of adventurers was tailing Liu Zong's group, making it impossible for them to kill Zhang Zhiyang.
Liu Zong was furious and he said coldly, "Let's kill them all first. What a waste of time."
Shoosh!!
Woosh!!
Boom!!
In an instant, swords and sabers covered the sky and blood dyed the mountain range red. The group of adventurers were all killed.
Zhang Zhiyang was shocked and just as he was about to escape, an Ancestor Realm expert appeared behind him.
(Finally, I'm not repeating myself. I've been a scapegoat for two days!!!)
