Chapter 617: Which Family Is He From?

Chapter 617: Which Family Is He From?

In truth, Ye Guan had been following the Wang Clan ever since they entered the Immortal Origin Clan.

Ye Guan was surprised when the Immortal Origin Clan turned against the Wang Clan. He hadn't anticipated the Immortal Origin Clan to be so domineering and brave that they'd resort to murder for the sake of Ancestral Origin.

However, it was an opportunity in his eyes—an enemy's enemy was a friend, after all.

When Wang Zong revealed a token earlier, Ye Guan's figure tensed up. He knew that the Wang Clan still had a trump card, so he did not hesitate to make a move.

Sima Ru scrutinized Ye Guan, his brow furrowing as he asked, "Are you... the Ye Guan that they've been chasing all this while?"

Ye Guan smiled. "Indeed."

Sima Ru was quiet for a while before asking, "They mobilized their entire clan to hunt you down?"

Ye Guan nodded lightly, maintaining a calm demeanor outside, but he was secretly on guard.

The Grand Elder chimed in, "He has Ancestral Veins!"a Ru's gaze narrowed.

Noticing Sima Ru's reaction, the Grand Elder added, "And he has more than one.”

Sima Ru turned to the Grand Elder and asked, "Are you trying to sow discord here?"

The Grand Elder glared at Sima Ru. "The Ancestral Veins on him—"

"What a despicable tactic," Sima Ru interrupted, waving his hand dismissively as he said, "Why don't you stop humiliating yourself? So what if he has Ancestral Veins? His Ancestral Veins has got nothing to do with me. Our Immortal Origin Clan is poor, but we have integrity. We won't claim what rightfully belongs to others."

The members of the Wang Clan exchanged confused glances.

The Grand Elder’s expression darkened at Sima Ru's rebuke.

Sima Ru's remarks were a blatant insult to their Wang Clan.

Ye Guan glanced at Sima Ru with a faint smile. He had dared to show his face, so he wasn't afraid of the Immortal Origin Clan at all. Moreover, escape was always an option.

Sima Ru turned to Ye Guan and asked, "Shall we join forces?"

Ye Guan smiled in agreement.

"Attack!" Sima Ru commanded. The Immortal Origin Clan members charged at the Wang Clan's elites.

The members of the Wang Clan here had to be annihilated. There could be no half-measures, or the Immortal Origin Clan would never be able to sleep in peace at night.

Almost simultaneously, Ye Guan transformed into a streak of sword light, vanishing from sight. His target—the leader of the Wang Clan.

Wang Zong's pupils constricted at Ye Guan's approach.

"You..." Wang Zong was confused why Ye Guan seemed unaffected by the seal, but it didn't take him long to realize that Ye Guan was actually resisting the seal. It wasn't like he was exempted from it.

No way... how? Wang Zong was in disbelief.

Even Wang Zong found it incredibly taxing to withstand the seal's power, despite being an Ancient Sovereign.

However, Ye Guan was actually facing the seal's pressure head-on while attacking with such strength.

Sima Ru's expression shifted abruptly upon seeing the spacetime rift.

"Attack!" Sima Ru commanded.

However, Wang Zong turned toward him and swung his fist, unleashing a torrent of divine light toward Sima Ru.

Sima Ru and the other clan members were forced to retreat against the overwhelmingly powerful torrent of divine light.

Even Ye Guan stepped back, refusing to confront the divine light head-on.

Wang Zong had ignited his fleshly body, soul, and his divine artifact, which meant that he had become terrifyingly powerful for them to confront.

Sima Ru and the others retreated frantically.

Wang Zong turned to the rest of his clan members and bellowed, "Leave now!"

The Wang Clan members soared into the rift in spacetime. However, before a hundred of them could fly into the rift, the seal shattered the gold bracelet.

The seal suppressed Wang Zong once more, and his strength was reduced to that of a mere mortal.

Kneeling in mid-air, Wang Zong's figure became transparent. He had sacrificed his fleshly body, soul, and a divine artifact, but he only managed to maintain a rift in the First God Paradise's spacetime for just a few seconds.

However, a few seconds was enough; they could not be annihilated here.

The remaining Wang Clan elites were consumed by fear and despair. The sense of invincibility in their hearts was shattered ruthlessly as the denizens of the First God Paradise trampled on them. They didn't care about their status as Descendants of the Gods at all. Soon, anguished cries filled the air, which signaled the start of another slaughter.

Ignoring the chaos, Wang Zong slowly raised his gaze toward Ye Guan in the distance. A smirk played on his lips as he said, "Soon, the four clans of the Descendants of the Gods will come seeking you..."

With that, Wang Zong vanished into thin air.

Ye Guan remained composed, casting a glance at the sky. Only now did he realize that with enough strength, one could break this seal. However, he did not attempt it. He could just use the teleportation array from the Martial Clan.

Turning around, Ye Guan found Sima Ru watching him.

Ye Guan smiled and remarked, "Clan Leader Ru, that was a fruitful collaboration."

Sima Ru smiled as well. "Indeed."

"Till we meet again," Ye Guan said before turning around to leave.

Staring at Ye Guan's back profile, Sima Ru suddenly asked, "Young Master Ye, their treasures..."

Ye Guan waved his hand dismissively. "Not interested."

Sima Ru's smile faded at the response.

A member of the Immortal Origin Clan approached Sima Ru, and his voice was grave as he said, "Clan Leader, that young man surely has Ancestral Veins..."

However, Sima Ru remained calm. "I know."

The man asked, "Then why—"

"He doesn't even care about so many strands of Ancestral Origin," Sima Ru interrupted and asked, "Which family do you think he's from? Surely, he's the son of a prestigious family. It's best not to provoke him.”
