Chapter 952: Elder Yuan (Part 2)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Also, Ye Chen has become everyone’s target now, so don’t have any contact with him in the future, lest the Han family say that the Mo family is involved.”

Mo Ning was a little angry when she heard her father’s words. She wanted to argue, but when she saw Han Daoshan walking towards them, she could only shut her mouth obediently.

It was better not to cause trouble for her father at this time. As for Ye Chen, she would have to think of a way to get in touch with him.

No matter what, she had to help Ye Chen.

Han Daoshan came to Mo Weihai. His eyes were full of meaning.

“Old Mo, tell me, what’s your relationship with this kid? And what is the background of this kid? Why did Elder Yuan save him?”

Mo Weihai did not know either. He shook his head and hesitated for a long time before he said, “This man saved my daughter. He knew that the Mo family was going to enter the Han family’s territory, so he asked me to take him with me. As for any other connections with him, there aren’t any.”

“As for this kid’s background, I only know that he seems to be from the Medical God sect, which is just a declining medical sect. He doesn’t have any background.”

Han Daoshan did not say anything and turned to leave.

“Whoever captures Ye Chen and brings him to me will earn a favor from the Han family.”

“Also, the meeting isn’t over yet. Let’s continue.”

Hearing this, everyone gasped.

Capturing a brat in exchange for a favor from the Han family was a great deal. It seemed that Han Daoshan was ready to pay any price for Ye Chen.

With so many sects searching for him, this kid would probably be captured the moment he left Elder Yuan’s side.

At the same time, near a small river north of the Han family’s territory.

Elder Yuan had the children settle down while Ye Chen and Ji Lin followed him to the river.

Elder Yuan sat on a rattan chair by the river, holding a fishing rod in his hand as if he was ready to fish, looking very leisurely.

Ye Chen and Ji Lin looked at each other. Eventually, they took a step forward and cupped their fists toward Elder Yuan. “Thank you for your help just now, Elder Yuan.”

Ye Chen naturally had to thank his benefactor.

Elder Yuan opened his eyes and chuckled. “There’s no need to thank me. Those people were bullying the weak, so I just couldn’t stand it.”

“By the way, what’s your name again? I’m old and my memory isn’t very good.”

“Come, come, come. Here’s a fishing rod. Come and accompany me fishing.”

Ye Chen took a step forward and sat beside Elder Yuan. He picked up the fishing rod and realized that there was only one line on it. There was no bait or hook.

Even if this old man was imitating Jiang Taigong fishing, there was no need to be so exaggerated.

(T

/N: Jiang Taigong was the name given to Jiang Shang by King Wen of Zhou, who first met him fishing by a tributary of the Weihe River, with a barbless hook and without bait. It alluded to the theory that the fish would come to him when they were ready. He later became the prime minister under King Wen.)

Even so, Ye Chen still sat down obediently. After all, this old man had saved him before. Furthermore, the other experts had been frightened by him, so this old man was clearly quite extraordinary.

“Elder Yuan, my name is Ye Chen, and I’m from River City in Huaxia.”

When Elder Yuan heard the words Ye Chen and Huaxia, he was a little surprised. He even muttered a few words, “Ye Chen… Ye Chen… Are you related to the Ye family of the Kunlun Mountains? I remember that the stone tablet that fell from the sky at the Ye family’s entrance back then seemed to have the words ‘Ye Chen’ engraved on it, and became one of the taboos of the Ye family of the Kunlun Mountains.”

Ye Chen’s body stiffened when he heard the old man’s words, as every word he said was the truth!

Could it be that Elder Yuan knew something?

Elder Yuan looked at Ye Chen’s surprised expression and knew that he had guessed correctly. He smiled. “I don’t know what the Ye family has been busy with recently. They haven’t made any moves for a long time. However, if they find out about your existence, they will definitely think of ways to get rid of you.”

“Also, your current situation is a little dangerous. With so many forces watching you, once you are exposed, you might die.”

“What plans do you have next? If you don’t have a sect to go to, I can recommend a few. Although they aren’t considered the top forces in the Kunlun Mountains, they aren’t something that ordinary sects can compare with.”

“I want to go to the Blood Spirit Secret Realm,” Ye Chen shook his head and said.

“What?!”

Elder Yuan put down his fishing rod and tilted his head to look at Ye Chen.

He had thought that Ye Chen was joking when he said that before he left, but it seemed that this kid was both serious and reckless.

“Brat, it’s not that I want to criticize you, but can’t you see how unfavorable the situation is for you? I can’t enter the Blood Spirit Secret Realm, so it’ll be difficult for me to help you. Are you sure about this?”

Ye Chen nodded with absolute certainty.

After some thought, Elder Yuan said, “There are many opportunities in the secret realm but there are a few Blood Spirit Clan cultivators inside. If you’re not careful, you’ll die inside there. If you really want to go, I won’t stop you. After all, your fate is your own!”

“But before you go, I want to know how you found the best cave tomb in the blessed cemetery.”

This was Elder Yuan’s biggest question.

Naturally, Ye Chen would not betray Little Gold. Although Elder Yuan had saved him, there were some secrets that he could not easily reveal.

“Elder Yuan, that was just luck. At that time, I felt a voice calling out to me, so I chose that place.”

“Oh?” Elder Yuan glanced at Ye Chen curiously. “A voice? Could it be that the bloodline in your body is somewhat special?”

Elder Yuan’s eyes narrowed at the thought of this. He grabbed Ye Chen’s wrist and gently swiped his finger. A drop of blood instantly gushed out and floated above his palm.

“This blood…”

Elder Yuan felt that something was amiss. Something was extremely unusual.

A golden light shot forth from his finger, trying to disperse the blood essence…

However, when the golden light touched the blood essence, it was the golden light that actually dispersed!

“This…”

Elder Yuan’s calm face was now filled with shock. He did not believe it and forced out a drop of blood essence.

He possessed a rare spiritual root and an extremely strong bloodline.

Ordinary bloodlines would dissipate upon contact with his blood essence, so this was the most direct way for him to test someone’s bloodline.

Elder Yuan’s blood essence then engulfed Ye Chen’s blood essence.

Seeing this, he heaved a sigh of relief.

“That’s right. How can someone at your level have a bloodline stronger than mine? It seems like I was overthinking things…”

However, before he could finish speaking, his blood essence changed!

Elder Yuan was shocked to find that his blood essence that had successfully engulfed Ye Chen’s blood essence had actually disappeared!

Instead, it was replaced by Ye Chen’s blood essence!

Even the connection between him and his blood essence was cut off!

“Impossible!”

Elder Yuan lost his composure for the first time, and his voice became sharp.

His bloodline could be ranked in the top 50 in the entire Kunlun Mountains. However, this kid’s bloodline was far stronger than his!

Could it be that this kid’s bloodline was an ancient bloodline?

Moreover, it was the type that was hidden!

“Brat, just who are you?!”

Elder Yuan’s breathing quickened as he asked this.
