Chapter 385: A Blush of Shame

Ye Lin was stunned for a moment and hurriedly pulled up his trousers; even with his thick skin, he couldn't help but blush.

When the young girl in the sacrificial divine prison was chasing him earlier, he had run in such a panic that he had indeed forgotten to pull up his trousers.

But this couldn't be blamed on him either; in a life-or-death situation, who would care about whether or not their trousers were pulled up? If an earthquake happened while you were taking a bath, would you really put on your trousers before running?

Ye Nangue and the others, who already found Ye Lin displeasing, were now gnashing their teeth in hatred.

Everyone here flows with the blood of the Ye family, so what right does he have to be different from us?

"Everyone, rest assured, I am coming to help you deal with Tsujiaoyao now. I was just afraid they might have reinforcements, so I went to circle behind and destroy their passage!"

Ye Lin patted his chest and gave a solemn, sworn promise.

But how could the crowd possibly believe Ye Lin's nonsense anymore?

They had already figured it out: Ye Lin clearly had the ability and the opportunity to destroy the blood-colored altar just now, and the only reason he released all those evil souls was to let that banner of his have a full meal!

Believe him? You'd get swindled out of your very underwear.

But at this moment, the crowd had no time to bicker with Ye Lin, as Tsujiaoyao had let out a roar and launched another charge.

In the time that had just passed, they had paid the price of dozens of lives to kill Tsujiaoyao a full three times!

Yet every time he was killed, Tsujiaoyao would only lose some of the evil souls on his body and would quickly revive again.

With the current trend of attrition, they would inevitably all die here.

Ye Lin's return, on the contrary, gave them a glimmer of hope.

"Attack, just like before!" Ye Nangue said with a dark face.

As long as they beat the evil souls out of Tsujiaoyao's body, they wouldn't even need to say a word; Ye Lin would run over himself to absorb them.

They had already seen that this guy was the type who wouldn't get up early without profit; as long as there was something to gain, this beast ran faster than anyone.

Ye Nangue and the other Star Realm experts from the five great clans joined forces once again; those who could raise their strength to the Star Realm at this age were never easy to deal with.

Not to mention there was Ji Tianxuan, the guy holding the Eternal Divine Sword; although there was a big rock on the tip of the blade, it didn't affect the way he swung the Eternal Divine Sword with great momentum at all.

Every strike could send Tsujiaoyao flying directly.

If Tsujiaoyao were a true Bright Moon Realm expert, it would indeed be hard to say who would emerge victorious.

But he was only a Bright Moon Realm expert who had forcibly elevated himself by relying on evil souls; if it weren't for the fact that Ye Nangue and the others lacked the means to deal with evil souls, Tsujiaoyao would have died long ago.

Ye Nangue and the others joined forces again and battled with Tsujiaoyao.

Although Tsujiaoyao's attacks were terrifyingly powerful, it was difficult for them to land on Ye Nangue and the others; even if there were ones they couldn't dodge, Ye Zhenbei would forcibly take them with his physical body, as his defensive power was extremely terrifying.

Jiang Wentian held the Taotie stone carving, using its devouring power to restrain Tsujiaoyao.

Xie Lihou, Ji Yanyin, and Ji Tianxuan were responsible for the main attacks, while the Zhuge family's Star Realm experts provided cover on the flanks.

Having fought Tsujiaoyao for so long, the group had gained experience and were handling him with ease.

Although Tsujiaoyao had the strength of the Bright Moon Realm, he lacked the techniques of a Bright Moon Realm expert and could only rely on his formidable power to charge and crash about.

Seeing how well the people from the five great clans were coordinating, Ye Lin, who was holding popcorn and an iced cola on the sidelines, nodded repeatedly.

"Fight! Fight! Yes, hit him right there!"

"Do it! Beat him to death! Hey, nice technique, young hero!"

"Brilliant!"

Seeing that Ye Lin was not only refusing to help but was also watching the show from the sidelines, the crowd was so angry they nearly twisted their noses.

But hindered by the fact that Tsujiaoyao was still indiscriminately attacking everyone, they could only suppress their temper and deal with Tsujiaoyao first.

Soon, Tsujiaoyao was killed by the group again, and the evil souls surged out from his body.

Ye Lin seized the opportunity, shouldered the Human Emperor Banner, and rushed up; the portion of evil souls that fell out was immediately sucked into the Human Emperor Banner.

Although Tsujiaoyao revived again, the aura on his body was clearly much weaker, and he was even struggling to maintain his Bright Moon Realm status.

Although they saw the hope of completely killing Tsujiaoyao, the people felt as uncomfortable as if they had swallowed a fly.

They were the ones putting in the effort, the ones suffering, and the ones enduring hardship, yet after they went through all that trouble to finally kill Tsujiaoyao, all the benefits went to Ye Lin?

They inexplicably had the feeling that they were working for Ye Lin for free.

Yet they couldn't go on strike!

Because the revived Tsujiaoyao was charging at them again!

This guy now had no consciousness at all and was acting entirely on bloodthirsty instinct.

Forced by necessity, the crowd could only join forces again to kill Tsujiaoyao.

At this moment, Ye Lin appeared from some corner again, shouldering his banner.

"You are all truly wise and mighty; this little brother admires you!"

After saying this, Ye Lin began absorbing the evil souls again.

Everyone had a dark face, and no one wanted to speak.

Even Xie Lihou was no exception; he treated Ye Lin as a brother, but Ye Lin treated him as a way to boost his performance metrics!

The revived Tsujiaoyao fell directly out of the Bright Moon Realm, leaving only the Star Realm.

Now, he was even less of a match for Ye Nangue and the others, so Ye Lin immediately jumped out.

"You've all worked hard; take a good rest, and leave the rest to me, Ye Lin!"

Ye Lin came up with a small combo of forbidden spells, and until Tsujiaoyao was completely blasted into slag, all the evil souls in the sacrificial divine prison were collected into the Human Emperor Banner.

Ye Lin counted, and the number of soul bodies inside the Human Emperor Banner had now reached fifteen thousand!

Excluding the portion he killed himself, the total number of evil souls in the sacrificial divine prison was only a little over fourteen thousand.

But then again, when normal people die, their souls dissipate between heaven and earth; forming a soul body with combat capability is not an easy thing.

With the addition of fifteen thousand soul bodies, not only did the Human Emperor Banner's spiritual power bonus reach 450%, but Ye Lin also possessed fifteen thousand free laborers.

What kind of concept is this? Let's put it this way: even if Ye Lin sent these fifteen thousand soul bodies into a factory to work on a death assembly line, they could create seventy-five million in revenue for him every month.

Just as Ye Lin was immersed in the joy of a bumper harvest, he suddenly felt his back go cold, as if he were being stared at by something dirty.

Looking back, he discovered that Ye Nangue and Ye Zhenbei were staring at him coldly, and the people from the other major families were also looking at him with unkind eyes.

"Ye Lin, you bastard, to actually dare to treat the people of our five great clans as your free thugs, you really do have... a lot of nerve..."

Ye Nangue's tone was chilling, like a piece of ten-thousand-year-old ice that would never melt.

With Tsujiaoyao dead, the conflict between them could no longer be suppressed.

Facing Ye Nangue's threat, Ye Lin revealed a kind smile and asked the people from the other major clans.

"Everyone, what do you mean by this? Are you going to join the Ye family to deal with me?"
