Chapter 559

"Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang … …"

The urgent ringing of the bell resounded in the sky above the shrine. Ye Xiaotian was brought out of the shrine and stood under the stone steps of the tall pillar. He watched as groups of warriors quickly ran over and surrounded the entire shrine. With so many people, he really wondered where they usually stayed.

Ye Xiaotian turned his head and looked at the other side of the lake. There were bamboo rafts passing through the dense fog, like arrows released from a bow. Those were Gedore, Annam Tien, Zhan Ning'er, and the other warriors of the village. There was also a row of figures leaping and running on the distant mountain. Those were Yang Yinglong and his men.

Ye Xiaotian took a deep breath and touched the jade tablet in his sleeve. His fingertips were a little sore because his palms had unknowingly become sweaty.

Gedore, Zhan Ning'er, Annam Tien, and the others ran up the stone steps as if they were flying. Seeing Ye Xiaotian standing there in a daze, Gedore immediately asked, "What happened? What happened? "

Ye Xiaotian turned his head and saw that they were rushing over. He said, "Venerable suddenly fell ill. I'm afraid he won't make it."

Gedore's complexion changed and said, "What? Quickly go and see Venerable! "He took the lead and ran towards the shrine. Annam Tien and Zhan Ning'er looked at each other and immediately followed. Ye Xiaotian secretly winked at Zhan Ning'er. Unfortunately, Zhan Ning'er's attention was completely focused on the shrine and didn't notice. Ye Xiaotian had no choice but to follow them.

"Stop! Don't come any closer! "

As soon as the warriors of the shrine saw them approaching, they immediately raised their weapons. Gedore angrily said, "Look clearly, it's me! Bao Weng, you brat, you are still a member of my tribe. How dare you point your sword at me? I am your chief, I want to see Venerable! "

A warrior who looked like the leader of the warriors said with a sullen face, "Venerable has ordered that he will not see anyone. You wait outside. If Venerable wants to see someone, we will inform Venerable. "

"You …"

Gedore stamped his feet. He was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged. But he also knew that these warriors were only loyal to the shrine and the Venerable. Although many of them came from his tribe, since they became warriors of the shrine, he couldn't command them anymore.

Gedore had no choice but to wait outside the shrine. At this time, Zhan Ning'er suddenly felt that someone was scratching the back of her hand. Zhan Ning'er turned her head and saw that Ye Xiaotian was already standing beside her without her noticing. His eyes were focused on the divine temple, but his hand was gently swaying, as if inadvertently touching the back of her hand.

Zhan Ning'er was furious, "This bastard, he is getting more and more daring. He dares to take advantage of me, and … at this time …"

Zhan Ning'er just raised her eyebrows when Ye Xiaotian suddenly coughed. He covered his mouth with his hand and said in a low voice, "Catch!"

Zhan Ning'er was stunned, "Catch? Catch what? "

Then she felt her palm touch something. Zhan Ning'er's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately took it without batting an eyelid. She put it in her sleeve and touched it with her fingertip. It seemed to be a token.

Zhan Ning'er looked at Ye Xiaotian with a puzzled expression. At this time, Gedore had already quietened down. The whole place was silent. In order to not attract attention, Ye Xiaotian could not speak.

After a while, Yang Yinglong led his men over from afar. When he got close, Yang Yinglong regained his calm pace. But looking at his ruddy face, Ye Xiaotian knew that this Yang Tian Wang had been running all the way.

Yang Yinglong hurried to the scene. When he saw Gedore and the others standing solemnly in front of the Divine Hall, he relaxed a little. He walked forward and asked, "The bell in the Divine Hall is ringing urgently. Did something happen to the Venerable?"

The leader of the guards bowed and said, "Chieftain Yang, the Venerable suddenly fell seriously ill. He has awakened now."

Yang Yinglong's expression changed, and he said, "The Venerable has long sent down an oracle, saying that his time is up. Now that he suddenly fell seriously ill, it must be a big day. We should go visit the Venerable and wait for the oracle from the Venerable. "

The leader of the guards said, "After the Venerable woke up, he already sent down an oracle. Everyone is to wait outside the Divine Hall. No one is allowed to enter without orders."

"What?"

Yang Yinglong raised his head and looked at the tall Divine Hall. His expression changed rapidly, and he said loudly, "The inheritance is a matter of life and death. Why would the Venerable refuse to see us? Could it be that you want to put the Venerable under house arrest and have ulterior motives?"

The leader of the guards' expression changed, and he said, "Chieftain Yang, we are acting on the orders of the Venerable!"

Yang Yinglong laughed coldly, and said, "Wait until I see the Venerable, then I will know if what you said is true or false. If the Venerable really doesn't want to see anyone now, as long as the Venerable personally gives the order, I will leave the Divine Hall and wait respectfully. "

As Yang Yinglong spoke, he walked forward with large strides. The leader of the guards immediately went up to stop him. Yang Yinglong was furious, and he slapped him across the face. He shouted, "You dare to stop me? Men, charge in! Kill anyone who dares to stop us! "

The leader of the guards drew his knife and shouted, "Chieftain Yang, don't force me!"

Just as the two were about to fight, a loud shout suddenly came from the Divine Hall, "Stop!" Gögwo led a few black-robed men out in a hurry. He said to the leader of the guards, "Bao Weng, the person in front of you is Chieftain Yang. Who do you think you are? How dare you use a knife or a spear against a Chieftain!"

The leader of the guards called Bao Weng retreated to the side, bowed, and said, "Elder Gögwo, the Venerable has an order …"

Gögwo waved his hand and said, "The Venerable has an order, but it depends on who it is to. Chieftain Yang's status is noble. Even if you let him in, the Venerable won't blame you. If the Venerable really doesn't want to see anyone now, I will accompany Chieftain Yang out. "

Bao Weng said hesitantly, "This …"

Gögwo glared at him and said sinisterly, "What? Don't tell me you dare use a knife against me? "

Bao Weng had no choice but to take two steps back. He bowed and said, "I don't dare!"

Gögwo snorted coldly and turned to Yang Yinglong, saying, "Chieftain Yang, please!"

Yang Yinglong strode forward with seven or eight guards. Ye Xiaotian took advantage of the conflict between Yang Yinglong and the guards of the Divine Hall to whisper to Zhan Ning 'er, "This is the token of the Venerable. He wants you to hurry to the Wuji Village, give the token to Ge Mao, and summon him back!"

When Zhan Ning 'er heard this, she immediately realized that the Venerable had chosen Ge Mao as his successor. She couldn't help but be overjoyed. This was the person that her grandfather and father liked the most. Zhan Ning 'er gripped the token tightly and nodded at Ye Xiaotian without a trace.

Yang Yinglong took a few steps and suddenly turned back. He ordered his subordinates that were left outside, "Set up defenses everywhere. Don't let anyone leave!"

Yang Yinglong's subordinates were all soldiers. They immediately responded and spread out with spears. They set up another layer of defense around the Divine Hall that was guarded by the warriors of the Divine Hall. Gedore sneered, "Who wants to leave? If you can see the Venerable, so can I! Follow me! "Gedore waved his hand and immediately led seven or eight personal guards into the Divine Hall.

Bao Weng was helpless. Although he was the commander of the guards and respected the Venerable like a god, the people in front of him were not ordinary. Usually, he didn't dare to offend them. Now that they heard that the Venerable was in critical condition, they immediately became domineering. As the commander of the guards, he couldn't do anything. He couldn't really make a move on Elder Gögwo, Chief Gedore, and Chieftain Yang.

As soon as Gedore left, Annam Tien immediately followed. Zhan Ning 'er saw that Yang Yinglong's men had set up defenses around the perimeter and couldn't leave, so she quickly followed. Ye Xiaotian wanted to know how the Venerable was doing. How could he stay outside alone?

They broke into the Divine Hall and walked inside. Ye Xiaotian had been here many times, but other than the first time he saw the Venerable in the main hall, the other times were in the garden on top of the hall. This was the first time he went deep into the Divine Hall. This huge stone hall was grand and magnificent. Who knew how many tunnels and rooms there were inside.

Ye Xiaotian followed them up one floor at a time. When they reached the ninth floor, a huge arched hall suddenly appeared. The hall was resplendent and the candles were as bright as day. At the end of the hall, there was a huge golden door with a fence on it. That was the platform of the second floor. There were stairs on both sides of the platform. In the middle of the platform, there was a door. It was much smaller than the door downstairs, but it was more exquisite and luxurious.

Along the way, they didn't see many people. When they reached this floor, they saw that all the Divine Concubines were here. They were kneeling on the soft carpet and worshipping the two golden doors.

Yang Yinglong walked over proudly. Immediately, a Divine Concubine stood up and stretched out her arm to block his way. "Chieftain Yang, the Venerable is not seeing anyone right now!"

Yang Yinglong arrogantly stretched out his sheathed saber and blocked the Divine Concubine's arm. He coldly said, "Unless the Venerable gives the order, no one can stop me!"

Yang Yinglong waved his hand and shouted, "Go, report to the Venerable. Tell him that Yang Yinglong wants to see him!"

The Divine Concubines all stood up and glared at Yang Yinglong. Of course, they wouldn't help Yang Yinglong pass on the message. However, one of Yang Yinglong's subordinates respectfully replied and strode forward. The Divine Concubines coldly watched, but no one stepped forward to stop them.

The hall was silent. Gedore, who had just arrived, was furious when he saw Yang Yinglong's boldness. However, before he could reprimand him, he heard a burst of exclamations in the hall. Those exclamations came from Yang Yinglong's subordinates.

They were all staring at the door and the companion who went to report. They saw that the companion's pace was getting slower and slower. His hair was miraculously growing longer and whiter at a speed visible to the naked eye. The people standing at the side could even see his face rapidly aging and wrinkling.

The person walked forward step by step, completely unaware of the strange changes happening to his body. When he heard everyone's exclamations, he turned around and looked at everyone with a strange expression. Seeing his current appearance, everyone couldn't help but be shocked and immediately took a few steps back.

When Ye Xiaotian saw the ghostly appearance of this person, his scalp went numb. Chills ran down his body and goosebumps appeared all over his body. The person's eye sockets were sunken, his face was full of wrinkles, and his rapidly growing white hair was falling off. His flesh and blood seemed to have been sucked dry by something. His wrinkled skin stuck tightly to his bones, making him look like a living skeleton.

The person saw everyone's frightened expression and opened his mouth in confusion. However, he couldn't say a word. The moment he opened his mouth, his teeth began to fall off one by one. Only then did he realize that something was wrong. His body also began to collapse to the ground …

The hall was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard. Everyone's eyes were on him. He gradually collapsed into a pile of flesh and skin, leaving behind only white bones. Then, the white bones turned to ash, leaving only a set of clothes on the ground.

Yang Yinglong's voice trembled as he asked in shock, "What is this?"

The Divine Concubine who spoke earlier coldly replied, "'Thousand Years!'"

Yang Yinglong's eyes narrowed. "The Gu God Formation?"

The Divine Concubine nodded coldly. "That's right! You have a thousand years of life, so walk in! "

A thousand years of life? Who could live for a thousand years?

Yang Yinglong stared at the door that was right in front of him, unable to say a word.
