At this point, he could not help but add proudly, "To be honest, my Gu family also has a Void Refinement patriarch …"
After saying that, he looked at Ye Chen proudly, trying to see a hint of surprise on their faces.
However, he realized that Ye Chen and the rest's expressions were gradually turning cold. There was a meaningful look in their eyes as they looked at him.
"You said that you're from the Gu family?" The Patriarch of Hell rubbed his chin and looked at him with a faint smile.
"Of course!"
Gu Quan secretly frowned. He thought that they did not believe him, so he could not help but say, "My Gu family is known as one of the eight Xuanyuan families. I believe no one dares to pretend to be from my Gu family."
"Very good!"
The Patriarch of Hell said something that he did not understand. He suddenly asked, "Do you know Gu Xuan and Gu Qing?"
"Of course I do. Gu Xuan is a member of the younger generation of my Gu family, and Gu Qing is my younger brother," Gu Quan said with a smile. Gu Quan said with a smile. Then, he seemed to have thought of something and suddenly looked at Old Ancestor Hell, "Fellow Daoist, could it be that you know my younger brother?"
Even Ji Hong and the rest could not help but look over.
"We don't just know each other."
The Patriarch of Hell grinned, revealing his white teeth, "Both Gu Xuan and Gu Qing died in our hands."
Gu Quan's expression froze. He thought that he had heard wrongly. He looked at the Patriarch of Hell coldly and said, "My younger brother is in charge of the Yan Huang Fortress. How could he die?!"
The Patriarch of Hell smiled coldly, "Of course, we broke the formation of the Yan Huang Fortress and rushed in to kill your younger brother!"
As soon as he said that, the scene suddenly fell into dead silence.
Gu Quan flew into a rage, "B * stard, w-what did you say?!"
Even Ji Hong's expression changed. "Fellow Daoist, you can't speak carelessly. Otherwise, you'll bring great trouble to all of you."
At that moment, Ye Chen, who had been silent all this while, looked at Gu Quan quietly, "Your Gu family sent Gu Xuan to ambush me with a female corpse, and Gu Qing rejected me from entering the Yan Huang Fortress. I'm really fated with your Gu family!"
"You … you …"
Gu Quan's body trembled violently. He stared at Ye Chen as if he had discovered something unbelievable, "Y-You're Mad Southern Ye?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire place instantly fell silent.
Ji Hong and the rest were stunned at first. Then, they seemed to have recalled something. They could not help but look at Ye Chen in disbelief, "Mad Southern Ye?!"
They had also heard of the name Mad Southern Ye before. However, to the Eight Xuanyuan Clans that had come into being when Earth had fallen into the great calamity of the outer world, those three words were just an ant.
Who would have thought that Mad Southern Ye, whom they had always ignored, actually possessed the strength to kill most of the powerhouses of the Panwu Immortal Sect instantly?
"Surprised, right?"
Under everyone's gaze, Ye Chen smiled lightly. He looked at Gu Quan and said, "Don't worry, I won't kill you today. I want you to go back and tell the Gu family that I will personally take revenge for everything that your Gu family has done to me."
"As for the other seven races …"
At this point, he could not help but fix his gaze on Ji Hong's group of seven, "If the seven of you want to stand on the Gu family's side and attack me, feel free to do so."
"Get lost!"
With that, he waved his sleeve and immediately unleashed a terrifying force, forcefully sending Ji Hong, Gu Quan, and the rest flying.
Looking at the figures of the eight Xuanyuan Clans disappearing into the horizon, the Patriarch of Hell rubbed his chin and said unhappily, "Fellow Ye, you've ruined the process. The eight Xuanyuan Clans are getting fatter and fatter. If we let them go just like that, it'll be a huge loss."
"They're Chinese after all. How can they be compared to the enemies from the outer world?"
Ye Chen nodded lightly and said, "Moreover, I don't think Ji Hong and the rest of the seven clans have any enmity towards me. If I embarrass them like this, it'll be hard for me to explain to Fellow Beiyan and the higher-ups in the future."
"That's good too!" The patriarch could only nod.
Ye Chen turned around slowly and looked at the strange little tree that looked like a baby's smiling face not far behind him, "This trip wasn't in vain after I obtained this …"
"Soul Resurrection Wood?"
The Patriarch of Hell's expression changed as well, "It's said that this item can bring the dead back to life. No wonder Fellow Ye lost his composure earlier."
"It can bring people back to life?"
Yang Hao was shocked as well. Then, he could not help but say, "Uncle Ye, doesn't that mean that if anything happens to Aunt Yuhan, this Soul Resurrection Wood can …"
"If anything happens to Yuhan, this item can only protect her soul from dissipating, but it can't regenerate flesh and bones. After all, her body is almost rotten …"
Ye Chen shook his head lightly. Subsequently, he put away the Soul Resurrection Wood and transplanted it into the Divine Hall between his brows to nurture it.
The Patriarch of Hell sighed softly and comforted, "It's not bad that you can protect your soul. After all, as long as your soul doesn't dissipate, the next step is to reforge your body."
Ye Chen shook his head and said, "Let's go …"
Just as everyone was about to leave, Yang Hao suddenly exclaimed, "By the way, where's that red skeleton?"
Everyone immediately looked around and realized that the red skeleton that had been following them earlier had really disappeared. No one had noticed when it had disappeared.
"Grandpa knows where it went!"
The toad smiled meaningfully and said, "So this cunning skeleton is here for that thing …"
…
In the middle of the tomb stood a majestic hall.
This hall was copper-yellow in colour. After countless years, it had caused the hall to appear even deeper and more ancient. Traces of time could be seen on every single stone slab on the ground.
The hall was extremely wide. If a person stood in it, they would not be able to see the end of it at a glance. In the middle of the hall, there were ten giant bronze coffins floating in the air.
Among the ten giant green coffins, nine of them formed a circle around each other, guarding the blood-red coffin at the top, as if the latter was the master.
Dead silence, desolation, and awe-inspiring aura emanated from the blood-red coffin, as if there was a peerless murderer buried inside.
Right at this moment, a rustling sound suddenly rang out in the originally dead silent hall, as if someone was walking over.
If one took a closer look, they would discover that there was a red humanoid skeleton walking over stealthily less than 300 meters away from the ten giant green coffins.
That's right, it was stealthily, as if every step it took was extremely careful. It was like a living person doing something guilty.
Crack, crack, crack …
The red humanoid skeleton would stop and look around with every step it took. As the red soul fire between its brows surged, it continued to walk toward the ten giant green coffins.
A moment later, it stretched its stiff limbs and leaped forcefully. It immediately jumped into one of the giant bronze coffins. With the help of this force, it finally landed on the blood-red coffin that was guarded.
Creak, creak, creak …
The red humanoid skeleton pressed the lid of the coffin and opened and closed its mouth. The red soul fire between its brows suddenly surged, as if it was excited.
