Chapter 293: Descendant of the Martial Marquis, Pointing the Way Through the Maze

A woman with a black silk blindfold arrived at the scene, her purple dress outlining her mouth-watering curves.

This woman was none other than Zhuge Ni, and the members of the Zhuge family whom Xie Lihou and the others had failed to find were now standing behind her.

Ye Guanhai, Xie Lihou, Jiang Wentian, and the others stopped their hands in a daze and looked toward a fellow who looked wickedly imposing.

Whether it was his appearance, physique, temperament, or even the skills he used, he was exactly the same as Ye Nangge; how could he not be Ye Nangge?

"Zhuge Ni, you say he is not Ye Nangge; do you have proof?" Jiang Wentian pressed.

"Proof? I am the best proof!"

Ye Nangge, with an incomparably gloomy expression, appeared leading the Ye family members, and the other twin star of the Ye family, Ye Zhenbei, was also by his side.

Everyone present was stunned where they stood.

They looked at the gloomy-faced Ye Nangge in front of them, then looked at the other wickedly imposing Ye Nangge carrying the large flag.

The two Ye Nangges were just like twins, identical in every way; whether viewed with the naked eye or sensed through Qi, no difference could be found.

Ye Guanhai's face turned deathly pale; if this Ye Nangge carrying the flag was a fake, didn't that mean those four Starry Realm experts of the Ye family had died in vain?

"Who exactly are you?"

Ye Guanhai's eyes were bloodshot, his breathing heavy like an ox, as he stared fixedly at the Ye Nangge carrying the flag.

And this Ye Nangge was, naturally, Ye Lin in disguise.

At this moment, Ye Lin had already finished devouring and refining the fourth Starry Realm expert of the Ye family.

It was a pity he hadn't managed to trap Ye Guanhai to his death as well; if he could have used Xie Lihou and the others to trap Ye Guanhai to death, the Ye family, with only Ye Nangge and Ye Zhenbei left, would have been much easier to deal with.

"No need to ask; this fellow is likely a Sang Kingdom person in disguise, specifically here to sow discord and make us fight internally to exhaust our strength."

Zhuge Ni's tone was very calm, yet her words were like a thunderbolt, causing everyone present to gasp in shock, their pupils trembling violently.

"People from the Sang Kingdom have infiltrated?" Xie Lihou asked anxiously.

Zhuge Ni nodded.

"My Zhuge family discovered that they are not only hunting down Daxia's job-changers to build a blood altar, but they have also learned an evil technique to increase their strength by eating people, which coincides perfectly with this fake Ye Nangge before us."

"The Sang Kingdom people have not only infiltrated, but they have likely already formed an alliance with the Demon race."

Everyone fell silent.

This was no longer a struggle for benefits between noble families or factions, but very likely a war between nations!

"But what is the purpose of the Sang Kingdom people doing this? Even taking a step back, even if they could kill us all, wouldn't they die the moment they stepped out of the Heaven-Refining Secret Realm? The heads of the major noble families are waiting outside!"

Ji Yanyin walked out with her long legs and voiced her doubts.

Zhuge Ni's tone remained calm as she spoke another sentence that made everyone present feel a chill down their spines.

"What if, at this time, the Sang Kingdom unites with the Demon race to launch a war directly against our Daxia?"

Everyone present felt a terrifying chill crawl from their tailbones all the way up to their crowns!

If that were truly the case, the ancient Daxia Kingdom would inevitably have to respond by sending a large number of Third Realm experts to the front lines!

In that case, the defenses in the rear would inevitably become empty.

At that moment, the Heaven-Refining Secret Realm would reopen, and those coming out... would be the vicious and evil Sang Kingdom people!

With internal and external coordination... by then, Daxia would be attacked from both front and back!

No one dared to continue thinking; the more they thought, the more terrifying it became!

"Let's join forces. The survival of the nation is the responsibility of every citizen. Now is not the time to haggle over other matters. Others cannot get in, so we are the highest combat power; we can only rely on ourselves." Jiang Wentian took a deep breath, a fighting spirit igniting in the depths of his eyes.

"That is exactly what I meant, which is why I came to find you all." Zhuge Ni nodded.

The others also nodded in agreement; the five great noble families might engage in infighting on ordinary days, but when faced with such matters, the five great noble families would instantly form a solid front!

"Since that's the case, let's first finish off this Sang Kingdom scum who dared to impersonate me!"

Ye Nangge looked at Ye Lin, his eyes filled with palpable rage.

This fellow had trapped and killed four of his Ye family's Starry Realm experts; his crimes were truly unforgivable!

Ye Nangge raised his hand, and his body was instantly shrouded in darkness, with only his black eyes emitting an eerie red light, like a blood-colored abyss.

Dark runes condensed in the air, making one's heart skip a beat.

"Darkness Wrath!"

Those dark runes seemed to come alive at this moment, transforming into pitch-black chains that carried an aura of decay and despair, coiling toward Ye Lin like spirit snakes.

As a level 92 Starry Realm Dark Archmage, Ye Nangge, attacking in a fit of rage, displayed the terrifying nature of this profession.

Ye Lin tried to dodge, but was still tightly bound by the black chains.

"Explode!"

Boom!

The black chains erupted with violent magic power, swallowing Ye Lin; this single strike left Ye Lin severely wounded.

At the same time, the others did not remain idle and joined the siege against Ye Lin.

Facing the combined efforts of so many Starry Realm experts, Ye Lin was naturally no match and was beaten back step by step, spitting blood from his mouth.

Seeing that he was about to be killed, there was not a hint of fear on Ye Lin's face; instead, it was filled with an inexplicable fanaticism.

"So what if you kill me? My companions will avenge me! We still have 23 people in this secret realm! You guys are finished!"

As soon as the words fell, a figure overtook everyone with lightning speed and rushed in front of him; it was Ye Lin's clone.

"Shut up! You shameless little thief, daring to bark wildly here; I have never seen such a shameless person!"

"Forbidden Spell: Karma Fire Burning Heaven!"

The purple-red eerie Karma Fire formed a magnificent fire lotus, shrouding Ye Lin's main body within it.

The firelight blurred everyone's vision; they could only hear screams and see a blurred silhouette.

"Go to hell! You damn Sang Kingdom person!"

Ye Lin's clone, disregarding his own life, rushed directly into the sea of fire.

This scene left everyone stunned; clearly, the Ye family had suffered the greatest losses and the most deaths, so why was this kid Ye Lin acting so bitter and hateful? Wasn't he the son-in-law of the Xie family?

Following a burst of intense fighting sounds and violent explosions, the sea of fire slowly dissipated, leaving behind only a scorched patch of land.

A charred corpse lay at Ye Lin's feet, and the large flag that the fake Ye Nangge had just used to summon soul bodies had already fallen into his hands!

Ye Lin glared at the dark golden flag.

"Such an evil weapon, actually capable of absorbing human souls, is simply incomparably evil; I must destroy it!"

Ye Lin gave Zhuge Ni a wink, then raised his hand, making a move to destroy the flag, when at that moment, Zhuge Ni's voice rang out.

"Ye Lin, weapons themselves do not distinguish between good and evil. A kitchen knife can be used to make delicious food, or it can become a murder weapon. Since this flag can absorb human souls, wouldn't it be perfect to use it against the Sang Kingdom people?"

Ye Lin wore an expression of sudden realization.

"As expected of a descendant of the Martial Marquis, your words have truly enlightened me and cleared my mind! My understanding was too narrow! Since that is the case, I, Ye Lin, guarantee that I will definitely use this flag to ensure that all Sang Kingdom people never have a chance at reincarnation!"
