CHAPTER 1299: CHAPTER 1299: DID I KILL YOUR FATHER OR SOMETHING? (4 UPDATES)

Upon hearing Yang Sen’s words, Ye Xiao trembled all over.

What the heck, what kind of spell am I under to be talking to Yang Sen like this?

Ye Xiao’s heart was instantly filled with regret.

As the situation grew increasingly awkward, Ye Hao stepped in to save the scene, speaking out again: "The kid is just ignorant. I hope Brother Yang won’t take it to heart and let it go."

Yang Sen smiled slightly and didn’t say more.

Ye Hao glanced at Ye Haochuan thoughtfully, pondering something.

Soon, the meeting of over twenty people dwindled down to just a few individuals.

Among these, besides Ye Hao, Yang Sen, and the Pope’s forces, there were Ji Song and Ji Mao from the Ji Family, along with Long Yin and Long Keyue from the Long Family.

"Pope, would you kindly repeat what you just said in detail?" Ye Hao gestured towards the Pope with respect.

The Pope nodded, delivering a long speech in English without keeping anyone in suspense.

"What kind of bird language is he speaking, I can’t understand a thing!" It was Long Keyue speaking, clearly showing she didn’t understand English.

Like her, Long Yin beside her also appeared confused.

Seeing this, Ye Xiao knew it was his chance to shine, so he hurriedly flattered Long Keyue, saying: "Keyue, sister, he’s saying there’s a Holy Mountain some 300 kilometers away, and on that mountain..."

"I wasn’t asking you, I was asking him!" Long Keyue interrupted with a coquettish yell, pointing at Ye Haochuan.

"You..." Ye Xiao was once more filled with resentment, glaring at Ye Haochuan viciously, snorting coldly, and turning his head away.

Ha ha, serve you right for going against me, caught divine retribution, didn’t you?

Ye Haochuan felt an immense satisfaction in his heart, nearly bursting into laughter.

Long Keyue was obviously trying to provoke Ye Xiao with him, which played right into his hands, and he willingly sent Ye Xiao a taunting look.

Fortunately, Ye Xiao didn’t see it at the time, or he surely would have been at endless odds with Ye Haochuan.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and speak!" Seeing Ye Haochuan in a daze, Long Keyue scolded playfully.

Ye Haochuan quickly snapped back to it and replied, "The Holy Mountain 300 kilometers away can communicate with the Chief God. If one could invoke the Divine Descent with a divine incarnation to deal with the Evil Sect, it would be a piece of cake!"

The Pope and Ye Haochuan finished speaking almost simultaneously, unable to help it; compared to Chinese for brevity, English is nothing.

Ye Hao listened, his face breaking into joy, saying eagerly, "Great, I’ll head to that Holy Mountain right away to request a divine incarnation!"

This quest for a divine incarnation was recorded in Xuanmen’s ancient texts as well. It was just that at some point, this method was lost. He hadn’t expected that the Holy See would still have such means.

The power of a divine incarnation generally surpassed Nascent Soul existence. As long as a divine incarnation was invited, even if dozens of Nascent Soul Peaks from the Evil Sect came, they would not be a match.

The Holy See, hearing Ye Hao’s words, suddenly shook his head and said, "The task of requesting a divine incarnation is not something that can be accomplished in a short time.

Sect Master Ye is the main fighting force of the Holy City, if he goes personally, the combat power of the Holy City surely would be greatly reduced. By then, even if the divine incarnation hadn’t been summoned, the Holy City might already be destroyed."

"This..." Ye Hao was left speechless for a moment.

"In that case, let’s send a Nascent Soul Cultivator or two then. If they’re careful, it shouldn’t be easy for the Evil Sect to discover them!" Ye Xiao suggested.

"You’re wrong!" Ji Song suddenly interjected, "There are many moles within Xuanmen, and every Nascent Soul Cultivator is probably being closely watched. If a Nascent Soul Cultivator goes, it would be even easier for the Evil Sect to discover them. By then, the Evil Sect would lie in wait; as many go, as many die!"

"Then what should we do? Should we send Core Formation Stage ants? I’m afraid they wouldn’t get far before they’re torn apart!" Ye Xiao said with a smirk, intentionally casting a glance at Ye Haochuan, obviously saying it for him.

Ji Song pondered a bit and finally nodded, saying, "If this mission is to be kept secret, then I’m afraid only Core Formation Stage can be sent!"

Xuanmen had already suffered greatly due to moles; if it weren’t for worrying about moles leaking secrets, they wouldn’t have to work out a small tactic with several discussions.

Hence, Ji Song’s words must not be idle talk; Nascent Soul Stage cultivators are indeed being monitored.

Moreover, not sending Nascent Soul Stage cultivators is also intended to strengthen the Holy City’s defense. Nascent Soul Cultivators are few; for every one less, there’s a possible breach in the Holy City’s defense.

Ye Hao wanted to say something, but suddenly froze, turning his head in confusion towards the Pope. It was apparent the Pope was whispering to him.

A moment later, his brows furrowed unconsciously, speaking out: "Given the circumstances, send a few outstanding Core Formation Stage individuals then!"

Ye Xiao felt a bit disappointed upon hearing this. Yet immediately, he brightened up, grinning at Ye Haochuan with an implied smile, "This brother here seems pretty good; I heard he can trade blows evenly with Ku Hai!"

Damn it, pulling me into this mess again, do you have a vendetta against me?

Ye Haochuan already cursed Ye Xiao thoroughly in his heart, but on the surface, he put on a "terrified" look, saying, "I have no strength to truss a chicken; afraid I can’t take on this noble responsibility!"

What a joke, with Evil Sect experts all over outside, just him alone could get wiped out encountering a random Nascent Soul Stage.

"Young Hero Ye is too modest; I too have seen you in action and you’re indeed a rare talent." Ji Song suddenly smiled, "But I wonder if Young Hero Ye is willing to play your part for Xuanmen?"

Damn, where did this guy come from? Do you also hold a grudge against me?

Ye Haochuan felt a wave of frustration.

But thinking it over, Ji Song is the Ji Family Head; it makes some sense if he bears some resentment after Ye Haochuan took away the inheritance meant for some of Ji Family’s young talents.

He even suspected, was Ji Song suggesting only Core Formation Stage could go just to avoid putting him in a predicament?

The only puzzling thing to Ye Haochuan was: Why was this old guy, at such an age, so small-minded to create such hurdles over minor things?

With Ji Song’s mention, if Ye Haochuan still refused to go, he would really be seen as unwilling to serve Xuanmen.

"You’re joking, my lord; it’s an honor to serve Xuanmen!" Since escaping was not an option, Ye Haochuan went ahead and spoke grandiloquently.

Ye Xiao felt a burst of pride yet didn’t expect Ye Haochuan’s words weren’t finished.

"However, with such a big task, one person alone truly isn’t ideal. Female Hero Long, would you be willing to accompany me?"

"I was about to say the same thing; didn’t expect you to beat me to it!" Long Keyue laughed, "After all, I won’t make much difference on the frontline, so why not go out and take a chance?"

Ye Xiao’s face changed instantly, hastily saying, "Keyue, you..."

He went to great lengths to send Ye Haochuan off for his doom, not to allow him to pair up adventuring with Long Keyue.

"Enough, it’s settled, count me in on this mission!" Long Keyue decided firmly.

The rest indeed found it hard to persuade further. If they stopped her because of Long Keyue’s significant status, it would be impossible to justify not letting Ye Haochuan have a proper explanation.
