Chapter 993 Betrothal Gift
A tall, slender, and graceful woman with sparkling eyes approached: "Ye Fan, did you come with the Old God King and Senior Zhong to celebrate the birthday of our clan's Holy Lord?"
She deliberately brought up two people who seemed to have a close relationship with Ye Fan at the previous party to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
It should be noted that the bounties for Ye Fan and Red Hair are still circulating among various factions, and there are quite a few people eyeing them covetously, even though the Holy Body is backed by the God King of the Jiang family.
However, rumors circulated that King Jiang had already reached the realm of an ancient sage, and under these circumstances, the noise gradually subsided.
Moreover, today is the birthday of the Holy Lord of the Wind Clan, and within the territory of the Wind Clan's divine island, it is neither reasonable nor morally right to escalate the matter.
"On this joyous occasion, harmony is of utmost importance. Brother Ye, you have already won last time. Today, release the Golden-Winged Roc King back. We, the Wind Clan, will handle the old Roc King and the demon race." The phoenix's demeanor remained proud, but its tone was very peaceful.
As she spoke, she subtly glanced at Ye Qingxian, who was standing next to Ye Fan.
This woman was indeed stunning. When they first met, even Phoenix, who was also a woman, was slightly distracted and somewhat dazed. She was exceptionally beautiful, almost like a dream.
In particular, his temperament and demeanor are qualities that no ordinary force could cultivate.
Therefore, ever since the last banquet, the various holy lands have begun to suspect that Ye Fan comes from a certain reclusive clan.
After all, the curse of the Ancient Sacred Body that has lasted for millions of years seems to have no effect on Ye Fan. His cultivation speed and talent almost leave most of his peers behind. The Shrouding the Sky Chamber of Commerce also stated that it will not only forgive the past behavior of the Sacred Body and the Red Hair, but also allow anyone who still has counterfeit goods sold by the Sacred Body to exchange for higher-level treasures at a 30% discount at the Chamber of Commerce.
It seems that someone is secretly protecting Ye Fan and smoothing over the troubles for him.
In this situation, it is natural to treat them differently.
Having a powerful backer and not having one are two completely different concepts.
If it's the former, every move must be made with consideration for the losses from waging war against a reclusive family; while the latter, naturally, is a case of "a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."
"Besides discussing the Myriad Dragon Nest, isn't it also the 1500th birthday of the Wind Clan's Holy Lord?" Ye Fan estimated for a moment, "Then it seems the Peach Banquet at Yaochi should be starting soon as well."
He had put things aside for quite some time, and now that he has returned, he finds that many of the crises that seemed so urgent and interconnected in the past have now become situations that he can calmly analyze from the sidelines.
Ultimately, strength determines everything.
As Ye Fan was pondering this, a discordant voice sounded beside him.
"Hey, this little wench... ugh, she's been led astray by that dead dragon."
Black Emperor leaned close to Ye Fan and whispered, "This woman's attitude towards you has become so nice. Could it be that the Holy Lord of the Wind Clan has taken a liking to you and agreed to the old God King's proposal for your marriage, and now they're going to form a marriage alliance?"
Its voice was indeed not loud, but everyone present was a cultivator, so even if it lowered its voice, it was no different from shouting through a megaphone.
Upon hearing this, not only did Feng Huang's expression change, but Ye Fan's face also turned as black as if it were dripping water.
The Old God-King is going to propose marriage to the Wind Clan on behalf of the Holy Body?!
"You damn dog! If you talk nonsense again, believe me, I'll stew you and sell you as dog meat in the mall!" Ye Fan shouted.
But then he turned to look at Phoenix over there.
"It likes to talk nonsense, don't take it seriously. As for Xiao Pengwang, he is indeed doing very well, so there's no need to worry. If you're worried about the old Pengwang lineage, they can come to the factory with me and reunite with their grandparents."
Ye Fan spoke very sincerely.
At this moment, the face hidden behind the Phoenix's colorful mask furrowed deeply. She was thinking about what the Holy Lord had talked about when the old God King of the Jiang family came to the Feng Clan not long ago.
"Brother Ye has his own decision, and the Feng Clan shouldn't interfere." Feng Huang didn't want to intervene too much: "However, you..."
"Brother Ye, it's been a long time!" A loud laugh echoed from afar.
The Great Xia Prince Xia Yiming and the little white-robed nun Xia Yilin flew in on a royal carriage, and the leader was wearing a dragon crown and a dragon robe. Even the emperor of an immortal divine dynasty had come.
When did the Holy Lord of the Wind Clan acquire such great power?
Ye Fan was somewhat surprised.
He had assumed that the information he knew would be similar to what he had learned, and that those who came here were either the young prodigies of some powerful forces or the holy masters of familiar aristocratic families and holy lands.
"Why are you all here, and with such a large entourage?" Ye Fan asked with a smile.
"Brother Ye, you don't know?" Xia Yiming was taken aback for a moment, then explained, "I don't know the specifics either, but I heard it's related to the elixir of immortality and ancient relics and forbidden zones."
More importantly, since the Primordial Era, this era has seen the emergence of several powerful figures capable of completely changing the world's landscape.
The various sacred sites and aristocratic families also felt a sense of urgency, and thus, upon hearing that King Jiang was here, they took this opportunity to seek some guidance.
“Logically speaking, Brother Ye should know more about this than we do,” Yao Yuekong said as he approached. “These people are all related to you and Miss Qingxian.”
Does this refer to the impact of the battle between Shi Hao and An Lan after they brought Ye Qingxian here last time?
The battle between two powerful figures who appeared to be quasi-emperors from beyond the realm must have terrified these holy lords, which explains why even the demon race was so restrained.
"Well, there are other reasons as well."
Yao Yuekong thought for a moment and said, "The descendant of the Azure Emperor asked me to send a message that you should visit the demon clan when you have time. She and Qin Yao are waiting to catch up with you."
Yan Ruyu. Qin Yao
Ye Fan was momentarily dazed upon hearing these two names.
They were separated when the Ji family was being hunted down, and indeed, they hadn't seen each other for many years.
Given Yan Ruyu's intelligence, her decision to have Yao Yuekong relay a message in this setting suggests she intends to leverage her current influence among various factions to gain some leverage in the conversation.
If he were still troubled by breaking through the Four Extremes, Yan Ruyu, as a descendant of the Azure Emperor, would probably not seek him out, and everyone would be well.
At this moment, she and Qin Yao were likely entangled in an internal conflict within the demon race, and Ye Fan had just displayed his prowess, so she wanted to take advantage of the situation.
'Hehe, still as clever as ever.' Ye Fan couldn't help but sigh when he thought back to this descendant of the Demon Emperor who had almost married him and cultivated together.
Since she has this intention, and Qin Yao is over there, I won't stand idly by.
Ye Fan took out some items from his Sea of Wheels: "I have a jar of Enlightenment Tea, as well as some divine spring water and saintly weapons for brewing tea. Please pass these on to the princess. I will visit the demon race another day."
The abundant life force, as vast as the sea, emanates a peaceful aura, like the undulating waves of the ocean.
Yao Yuekong, bewildered, lifted the lid of the jar. The aroma of tea wafted out, and different laws manifested as strange phenomena that dissipated.
This jar contains over a thousand leaves, each one different; some resemble small cauldrons, some phoenixes, some clouds, and some immortals.
The moon, shrouded in gloom, seemed to freeze in mid-air.
Thousands of pieces?!
The Enlightenment Tea only produces 108 leaves a year, and only in special years can it produce thousands of leaves. Each year, only 30 to 40 leaves are produced through various means, and these leaves are then divided up among different forces!
There are thousands of pieces here, and they're just being given away like that?
Even knowing that his brother Ye had an extraordinary background, where did this spendthrift come from?
"Here's a small jar that I'm giving to Brother Yuekong. Thank you for your help." Ye Fan didn't wait for Yao Yuekong to refuse and directly stuffed the item into his hand.
There are approximately one hundred pieces of Enlightenment Tea.
“From now on, we are brothers.” Yao Yuekong patted Ye Fan’s hand. “From now on, the Heavenly Demon Palace will be our home.”
Compared to Yao Yuekong's reaction, the surrounding cultivators hadn't even recovered from the shock of what Ye Fan had taken out.
Various strange phenomena appeared on the sacred object, making it seem as if the sacred body had taken out the congratulatory gift received by the Wind Clan Chief.
"Some time ago, I heard from the elders of my clan that the ancient Enlightenment Tea tree in the Immortal Mountain has disappeared."
"Mountain of the Immortal?!!!"
"The Holy Body has so much Enlightenment Tea, could it be..."
The fervent gazes had barely begun to ignite when a bucket of cold water was poured down on their hearts, leaving everyone present filled with apprehension and fear.
Just how powerful is the family behind Ye Fan, capable of taking the Enlightenment Tea Tree from the Undying Mountain without anyone noticing?!
And yet he can so freely access so many resources. Even if he's incredibly talented, isn't he afraid of being punished?!
Yao Yuekong was about to say something, but his eyes suddenly narrowed. After a slight hesitation, he sighed, "It seems the rumors are true. Brother Ye and my demon princess were indeed engaged, but they were later separated by the Ji family."
Who spread this rumor that's only 50% true?!
Before Ye Fan could refute, it seemed that someone else thought the same way as him.
A booming voice rang out: "Who is spreading rumors about the Ji family?!"
The Holy Lord of the Ji family seemed to have stepped out of the ancient starry sky, accompanied by Ji Haoyue with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and Ji Ziyue who was staring intently at Ye Fan and grinding her little tiger teeth.
Ye Fan: "."
Is it an illusion?
Even though a certain person surnamed Su was not present, he immediately associated the current situation with that guy.
The Holy Lord of the Wind Clan has gone too far in showing off his birthday this time.
"brush"
A flash of five-colored light appeared, and the renowned Peacock King stood with his hands behind his back: "When did I spread rumors?"
Fortunately, it wasn't Su Lin.
Ye Fan, on the contrary, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Back then, your Ji family besieged and killed the demon race in Wei, trying to seize the Demon Emperor's sacred weapon. Many great demons died tragically. My descendant originally wanted to give the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart to this sacred body so that they could become husband and wife in the future, but your Ji family tore them apart," the Peacock King sighed.
These words caused an uproar among those around them. Feng Huang, Xia Yiming, and the others stared wide-eyed, seemingly not expecting that Ye Fan had this connection with the demon race.
The Holy Lord of the Ji family's expression darkened.
Although some of it has been embellished, it is still true.
The Ji family did indeed target Yan Ruyu, which also affected the Holy Body. They even hunted down Ye Fan because of the leak of the Great Void Scripture.
The Peacock King's appearance at this moment, bringing up the matter in public, was most likely due to the extraordinary power behind the Ancient Sacred Body, and he deliberately stirred up trouble.
It is common knowledge among many forces that the Peacock King saved Ye Fan's life. If the Peacock King and the Azure Dragon King had not fought against the Holy Lord of the Ji Family and the Holy Lord of Yao Guang, Ye Fan would probably have been captured long ago.
Even though Ye Fan and the Golden Roc lineage of the demon race are at odds, compared with the Ji family, which has repeatedly hunted down Ye Fan in the past, as well as various holy lands and ancient families, the demon race seems to be closer to him.
At this moment, the expressions of the various human factions changed, and they immediately understood what the Peacock King was plotting.
This is an attempt to leverage the grudges between the Ji family and the various holy land families to draw Ye Fan to the side of the demon race. The Enlightenment Tea Tree and the red-haired demon alone are enough to compensate for the current awkward situation of the demon race not having a Great Sage.
"You?!" The Holy Lord of the Ji family never expected that he had played right into their hands.
He would rather have fought the Peacock King directly, but he didn't expect this guy to resort to underhanded tactics.
Ye Fan sighed as he watched this scene. If he were truly a prodigy from some reclusive family, it would be one thing, but perhaps he would revel in the feeling of being someone that no one dared to covet and could only vie to win over.
But he is not.
Only Ye Fan himself knew that ever since he was brought to this unfamiliar star field by the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, he had been...
He was always alone. (The dog and the fat man are not people.)
If he truly had some powerful backing, his cultivation path would likely be much smoother, and he wouldn't have experienced so much helplessness and frustration.
Ye Fan looked up at the sky, and just then, the sky darkened, and countless black petals fell, like ink jade, all stained with blood.
Then, snow-white petals fell from the sky, each one the size of a palm, and each one stained with blood.
Black and white petals fell one after another, as if thunder rumbled from the sky, causing the space to tremble.
"The human world..."
"hell."
"The Holy Body must be slain!"
With all the Holy Lords present, the two ancient assassin dynasties emerged simultaneously, issuing a kill order in front of everyone.
Petals drifted down on the Wind Clan's divine island, all stained with blood. Amidst the swirling, invisible killing intent, a dazzling rainbow struck Ye Fan right before everyone's eyes.
How dare the Assassin Dynasty be so arrogant right in front of the Wind Clan?!
"After doing business for a long time, my temperament has become much calmer. Do you really think I'm easy to manipulate?" Ye Fan raised his eyes, as if he had become a different person.
boom!
A terrifying pressure covered the sky, causing the void to collapse and spread continuously, with massive cracks appearing high in the sky.
Invisible ripples swept across the land in an instant, the golden divine sea surged with blood energy, and emitted a dazzling golden light that replaced the entire world.
One punch!
One palm!
With a sound like shattering glass, two blood-red curtains of light cascaded down from the heavens, their fragmented limbs and wide-eyed heads completely staining the black and white petals crimson.
The entire island instantly calmed down.
"Hoo," Ye Fan exhaled a breath of stale air.
Now there's no need to hide anymore, and there's more freedom. There's no need to pay attention to the covetousness and intrigue between any forces.
This also lets everyone know that he is not relying on any hidden family, but on his own strength!
Ye Fan was completely radiant and spotless, like a god descending to earth. To everyone's astonishment, he spoke, "My affairs with the Ji family."
"Would it be acceptable to offer a branch from the Enlightenment Tea Ancient Tree and an Imperial Weapon as betrothal gifts to marry the jewel of your Ji family?" Ye Qingxian asked the head of the Ji family.
Ye Fan fell silent, all the words he had wanted to say earlier now stopped.
When her father is born and she grows up a bit...
They must be properly educated.
Seven Wolves Education.
I was a little late, so I reread "Covering the Sky".
