Chapter 545: Ye Lin

Xiao Jie's words plunged Ye Lin into deep thought.

Afterward, he shed the disguise of the Corpse Underworld Hidden Robe and appeared before Xiao Jie in his true form.

"Is that so? Even if I am a human, are you still willing to lead the Earth Spirit Demon Clan to follow me?"

"You are a human?"

Xiao Jie's eyes widened, his gaze filled with disbelief.

The Earth Spirit Demon Emperor he revered and worshipped most was actually a lowly human he had always regarded as food?

"Impossible! This is impossible! You're lying to me! You're lying to me! Hahahahaha!"

This massive blow drove Xiao Jie insane in an instant, his expression becoming incomparably frantic.

Ye Lin sighed softly.

Sure enough, the saying "those not of my race must have a different heart" was not wrong in the slightest.

Xiao Jie's words just now had truly made Ye Lin waver for a split second.

It was just a pity that after verification, it proved Ye Lin was still right.

He didn't say much more, raising his hand to give Xiao Jie a quick end.

With his current power, Xiao Jie wouldn't even feel any pain before his consciousness completely vanished.

"What a pity."

Ye Lin couldn't help but shake his head.

Xiao Jie was different from the Soul-Devouring Empress; the Soul-Devouring Empress knew from the beginning that Ye Lin was a human and still chose to continue interacting with him.

But Xiao Jie and the members of the Earth Spirit Demon Clan had mistaken him for the Earth Spirit Demon Emperor from the start.

This is like dating two girls; one girl knew from the start that you were a penniless nobody, yet she still chose to be with you, without complaint or regret.

While the other girl only stayed with you because she mistakenly thought you were a super-rich second generation.

How could these two be the same?

"Let's go."

Ye Lin stood up, intending to leave this place.

After killing the entire Earth Spirit Demon Clan, Ji Lingyu's strength had also climbed to the 90-level threshold.

Next, if he could gain some insight into his own profession, he would be able to successfully step into the Fan Xing Realm!

The three realms of Fan Xing, Hao Yue, and Lie Yang could not be affected by forced growth.

It was precisely because of this that powerhouses of these three realms were regarded by major forces as their true foundation.

"Where are we going, Boss?" Ji Lingyu asked.

Ye Lin cast the forbidden spell Space-Time Wormhole, opening a spatial passage leading to Kyoto.

"Taking you to get a sword."

Ye Lin took a step forward, crossing through the spatial passage.

"Get a sword? Alright, alright!"

Ji Lingyu hadn't realized what kind of sword Ye Lin was taking him to get, assuming it was just an ordinary divine artifact, and immediately followed along happily.

After arriving in Kyoto, Ye Lin went straight to the Ji family, then shouted loudly.

"Er Yuelin has come to request a sword!"

The volume of his voice instantly covered the entire Ji family estate.

Many members of the Ji family looked up in confusion.

Er Yuelin? Who is this? They hadn't heard of such a person in Kyoto.

Soon, someone from the Ji family saw that the visitor was Ye Lin, and their expression changed wildly in an instant.

Immediately afterward, someone notified the Ji family head, Ji Wubing, who was out fighting the demons, and the various Ji family elders.

Upon hearing that Ye Lin had come knocking, Ji Wubing didn't hesitate at all and immediately brought people rushing back to the Ji family estate.

Are you kidding? That's Ye Lin!

The Ye family, once the head of the five great clans, had been wiped out entirely after Ye Lin visited them once.

Ji Wubing had seen the ruins of the Ye family; it was miserable!

Ant nests were poured with molten aluminum, earthworms were chopped to pieces, and even the grass on the lawn had been sprayed with herbicide.

Ji Wubing didn't dare to be the slightest bit negligent, fearing the Ji family would suffer the same fate as the Ye family.

After returning to the Ji family, Ji Wubing immediately and respectfully welcomed Ye Lin and Ji Lingyu into the house, ordering servants to serve tea and water, attending to them left and right, not daring to be the slightest bit negligent.

"Young friend Ye Lin, your arrival truly makes my Ji family shine! I wonder what business young friend Ye Lin has?"

Ji Wubing was incomparably enthusiastic, causing the surrounding Ji family elders to be filled with confusion.

Wasn't their family head known for being dull and taciturn?

"Nothing much, I've come to request a sword. Everyone knows that the Ji family, one of the five great clans, has many treasures; Family Head Ji, you shouldn't be stingy." Ye Lin smiled faintly.

"No problem!" Ji Wubing immediately agreed. "Someone, bring all the divine artifact-level swords of my Ji family here, and let young friend Ye Lin choose carefully!"

Ji Wubing secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

So he was just here to rob them; he had thought he was here to wipe out the clan.

Phew, scaring himself for nothing.

Soon, six divine artifact-level sharp swords were delivered before Ye Lin, the one with the highest refinement level even reaching 6 stars, making Ji Lingyu's eyes glow red.

Divine artifacts of this level were rare even for the five great clans, especially since Ye Lin had specifically requested sword-shaped divine artifacts.

"Young friend Ye Lin, all the divine artifact-level swords of my Ji family are here." Ji Wubing said with a fawning smile.

Ye Lin pretended to stand up and pick up the six swords to examine them.

"This one is too light."

"This one is too heavy."

"This one is too long."

"This one is too short."

"This one doesn't feel right."

This one felt too right.

"These swords are all useless! Useless!"

Ye Lin waved his hands repeatedly, causing Ji Wubing to break out in a cold sweat.

Ji Lingyu, standing to the side, saw Ye Lin being so picky about six divine artifacts and was so anxious he was scratching his head, nearly mutating on the spot.

He was satisfied! He was too satisfied!

Ji Lingyu would be happy enough to stay awake for three days and three nights if he could get any one of these six swords, and he would even hug the sword tightly while sleeping at night!

"But young friend Ye Lin, all the swords of my Ji family are here; there really aren't any more!" Ji Wubing said with a troubled expression.

"Is that so?" Ye Lin raised his eyelids. "But how do I remember that your Ji family still has a particularly powerful sword?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Wubing's heart skipped a beat.

Without a doubt, Ye Lin was referring to the Ji family's origin ancient artifact, the Eternal Divine Sword, the Xuanyuan Sword, known for having the highest attack power!

This wasn't asking for a sword; this was asking for the Ji family's life!

"That... young friend Ye Lin, did you remember wrong? How could my Ji family have any particularly powerful sword? If you're talking about the past, there was indeed one, but that sword is already stuck in a stone and can't be pulled out."

Ji Wubing fawningly smiled, wanting to brush this matter aside.

"Is that so? That's truly a pity." Ye Lin sighed softly.

"Yes, yes, it's a pity. Speaking of which, it's also my Ji family's fault. How about this, young friend Ye Lin, take all six of these swords!"

Ji Wubing pushed all six divine artifact-level swords in front of Ye Lin, wanting to spend money to avert disaster.

"No, no, no, I cannot accept a reward without merit."

Ye Lin pushed the six swords back, while Ji Lingyu's gaze remained locked tightly onto them.

Afterward, Ye Lin sighed again.

"Family Head Ji, do you know? My life has been too bitter."

Ji Wubing had a bad premonition, but still smiled and said.

"I don't know what young friend Ye Lin has experienced?"

Ye Lin lit a cigarette, the smoke blurring his face, and then he began to recount in a low voice.

"When I was three, my Supreme Bone was dug out by someone, leaving me hanging by a thread. I finally lived to my youth, only to be humiliated by a Nalan family member coming to break off our engagement."

"Afterward, my entire family was wiped out, and I shouldered the mission of revenge, even my childhood sweetheart who always loved me died blocking a tribulation for me."

"The Little Dragon Maiden I admired was defiled by someone, and from then on I could only wander the ends of the earth, parting ways with Wan'er."

"My only best friend turned against me just because I stewed a rabbit to eat, using his ultimate technique, Blue Silver Entanglement, on me."

"I had tried my best to hold back, but my best friend's realm was too low, only at the Half-Step Blood-Moving Realm, and he was ultimately killed by the backlash of my protective Qi."

"I was incomparably desperate, shouting, 'Not to become an immortal, only to wait for your return in the red dust!'"

"Heartbroken, I completely severed all feelings and love, focusing on refining the Spring and Autumn Cicada, wanting to go against the river of time to return to the past and shout that line: 'Resurrect, my best friend!'"

"I was only a step away from success, but in the end, I still lost to an AE86 and was suppressed by Nidhogg at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean with a sky-piercing copper pillar." ===== CHAPTER 546 =====
