Chapter 620: Experts Entering a Village Full of Elderly

Ye Guan laughed out loud. He found the Clan Leader of the Immortal Origin Clan to be quite an interesting person. He knew that there was a deeper meaning behind Sima Ru's actions, but he couldn't care less.

"I'll be in touch with you again soon," said Ye Guan before disappearing into the distance.Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com

The smile on Sima Ru's face immediately disappeared. After a moment of silence, he returned to the Immortal Origin Clan and conducted a clan meeting.

Every single elite of the Immortal Origin Clan gathered in the great hall of the Immortal Origin Clan.

Sima Ru swept his gaze across the elites and said, "Everyone, I've reached an agreement with Ye Guan. We're going to be his allies in both life and death."

"But Clan Leader... he's just one person..." an elder said hesitantly.

Sima Ru glanced at the elder and retorted, "You fool, do you really think that he's just one person ?"

"But..." the elder muttered with a puzzled look.

Sima Ru sounded serious as he said, "Young Lord Ye has revealed his background to me. He's the Young Master of the Ye Family from the outside world... I'm sure you haven't heard of the Ye Family before, but it's a family full of experts, and they're the strongest family in the outside world. Any one of them would be capable of wreaking havoc here."

The elder hesitated for a moment before asking, "Then, why was he forced to come here, and why is he being pursued even now?"

Sima Ru was about to respond when another black-robed elder chimed in, "It might just be their way of raising their children. An extremely powerful family often doesn't adhere to common sense."

"Exactly!" Sima Ru slapped his thigh and said, "It's free-range parenting! The Ye Family practices free-range parenting when it comes to cultivating new leaders of their clan, as the one that grows stronger through adversity are extraordinary individuals!"

"So..." an elder muttered, "So, he came here... to experience life?"

Sima Ru nodded. "Exactly."

The same elder hesitated before asking, "Clan Leader, is he actually reliable?"

Before Sima Ru could reply, the black-robed elder said, "Have you guys already forgotten how Young Lord Ye didn't take even a single penny for himself after we annihilated the Wang Clan? What does that mean? It means that he doesn't care about such things at all. Try and imagine the background of an individual who'd shun even Ancestral Origin."

The other elders hurriedly nodded in agreement. They could still remember how Young Lord Ye had left without even looking back; he had displayed an air of complete indifference to wealth at the time.

Sima Ru immediately heaved a sigh of relief. He was the clan leader, but he was still rather stressed about how he was supposed to explain his decision to stand with Ye Guan. After all, Ye Guan was just one person, and they were about to go against a myriad of powerful enemies. He had to be careful, or the clan members would start harboring resentment toward him. However, everyone had agreed to ally with Ye Guan, which meant that there wouldn't be any discord in the future.

In other words, it could be considered a collective decision! They'd share blessings and carry burdens together.

How about Ye Guan? Did he really have such powerful backers? Actually, Sima Ru himself wasn't sure about that.

Ye Guan's figure transformed into a ray of sword light that took to the clouds. The next moment, an invisible force descended upon Ye Guan, pushing him back to the ground. Ye Guan resisted fiercely, and the moment his feet touched the ground, the mountains around him were reduced to dust. He was using the power of the seal as a training tool. Since he started looking at the seal from a different perspective, Ye Guan no longer hated the seal. In fact, he was starting to become familiar with it.

He had discovered that the seal's power scaled according to the individual's strength. Simply put, a stronger cultivator would face a more powerful suppression, and Ye Guan discovered that the scaling seemed to have no limits.

It was surely terrifying in anyone else's eyes, but the seal was the perfect training tool for Ye Guan.

Ye An walked out of the world inside the tiny pagoda and started training using the cultivation seal.

Boom!

A streak of sword light fell straight from the sky, and a massive cloud of dust and rubble manifested the moment the streak of sword light pierced the ground.

Mo Tiandu suddenly said, "Should we send someone in to negotiate with the local forces?"

Chen Yu shook his head. "I don't think it'll be easy to negotiate with them. They probably don't even know that we're Descendants of the Gods. Furthermore, I don't think there's a reason for them to work with us, considering how our cultivation bases are sealed inside the First God Paradise."

Qin Yuan said, "What if we offer them something in exchange for their help in capturing Ye Guan?"

Mo Tiandu thought for a moment before saying, "That could work."

"Let's offer them five strands of Ancestral Origin from each of our clans for a grand total of twenty strands of Ancestral Origin. They'll definitely be tempted by that offer," Chen Yu suggested.

"Who should we send in to talk to those natives?" Qin Yuan asked.

Mo Tiandu replied, "Each of us will send one representative."

Qin Yuan smiled. "Sounds great."

Chen Yu and Zhao Tianji nodded in agreement as well. The four of them immediately sent four supreme elites into the First God Paradise.

Mo Tiandu looked at Chen Yu just then and asked, "Have your people entered the Time River yet?"

Chen Yu nodded. "They're already in the Time River."

"Regardless of what's about to happen, it is imperative that we prepare for the worst-case scenario," Mo Tiandu said," If the local forces inside the First God Paradise are unwilling to cooperate with us, then we will have to use Ye Guan's family members to lure him out."

Chen Yu smiled. "My people will bring his family members here in at most three days. I really want to know if he has a heart of stone and if he can withstand watching his family members die one by one."

Mo Tiandu nodded in agreement. He didn't think that such actions were beneath him. After all, those who had achieved great things had never been concerned with such a trivial matter such as ethics.

Dozens of supreme elites from the Old Era entered the Time River. They were all from the Chen Clan, led by Chen Qing, a Grand Elder of the Chen Clan.

To ensure that nothing would go wrong, Chen Yu had instructed a Grand Elder to lead the elite members of the clan to the Time River.

Chen Qing was a Peak Heavenly Sovereign Realm cultivator, and the people that he had brought with him were Imperial Sovereigns at the very least.

It was a rather terrifying lineup.

Chen Qing glanced at the distant end of the Time River and chuckled. "Coming here was a bit more difficult than I expected."

Chen Qing was right. The seals that the Gods had left behind here were briefly broken by the joint effort of the four major clans, and it was only through their hard work that they reached the Time River.

"I wonder how strong the cultivators are in this place," said an elderly man who was standing next to Chen Qing. "It'll be boring if they're too weak."

"I think we're like experts entering a village full of elderly. Haha..." Chen Qing laughed.

Everyone else laughed as well. In their eyes, this mission was like taking a piece of candy from a baby. Actually, coming here was an insult to their strength, as they believed that the Time River was like a village full of elderly and children while they were powerful experts who had survived many life-and-death ordeals.

Someone exclaimed, "Someone's coming!"

Everyone turned toward the distant horizon and saw a little girl standing in the distance. The little girl was grinning, and there was a white-furred creature on her shoulder, which was looking around vigilantly for some reason.
