Chapter 750: The Sword-Snatching Divine Ability Taught by Ye Lin

Ye Lin put away the recording stone.

"Senior Xuanhai, I believe you just saw it too; the four great villains have already chosen to join forces, which means that almost all the opportunities in this place are now in their hands."

"Are you truly content, Senior, to return empty-handed just like this?"

Ye Lin grinned with a faint smile.

Desires in the human heart are like a boulder rolling down a high mountain; once they start, they can never be stopped.

He was using a strategy of open manipulation; he had truly let his clone deliver the Life-Severing Sword into the hands of the four great villains.

He did not believe that, when faced with an Innate Supreme Treasure, Senior Xuanhai could remain unmoved.

Senior Xuanhai remained silent on the spot for a long while, then suddenly spoke.

"I can join forces with you, but how will we divide the spoils once we succeed?"

"The Innate Supreme Treasure and all other treasures shall belong to you, Senior; I only want the lives of those four!"

A bone-deep hatred flickered in the depths of Ye Lin's eyes.

"You have a grudge against those four?" Senior Xuanhai asked.

"Indeed! And it is a blood feud! One that will only end in death!"

"Please look, Senior!"

Ye Lin revealed all one hundred-plus members of the Ye family.

"My family died at the hands of the four great villains back then. At that time, my strength was too weak, and I could only hide, watching helplessly as they killed everyone and left in high spirits."

"From that moment on, I swore that one day, I would definitely kill the four great villains!"

"I refined all my family members into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner precisely to ensure I would always remember this hatred!"

"And now, this is the best opportunity. Senior, please help me! I don't want any of the Innate Supreme Treasures; I only want revenge. Revenge is the only meaning for my existence!"

"I can swear a Dao oath; if there is a single lie in what I have just said, may I be struck by lightning and suffer a miserable death!"

Ye Lin's face was full of sincerity, like a beast driven to a dead end.

Senior Xuanhai glanced at Ye Lin's Ten Thousand Soul Banner, and the fire in his eye sockets could not help but flicker.

He could naturally sense that those vengeful souls were indeed Ye Lin's blood relatives.

To seek revenge, this fellow was truly stopping at nothing...

But this was just as well; there are no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests.

Ye Lin wanted revenge, and he wanted the treasures.

"I can join forces with you, but relying only on you and me to deal with the four great villains is too much of a stretch. None of them are easy to deal with. Have you found those two, Ying Wushou and Du Wen? If we could get them to join us, it would be secure," Senior Xuanhai said.

"The two of them... I'm afraid they can't help us anymore."

Ye Lin took out another recording stone, which showed the scene of Ying Wushou and Du Wen locked in a fierce battle.

"When I found them, these two seniors were fighting for some unknown reason, their moves fierce and aimed at killing each other."

Senior Xuanhai watched the scene in the recording stone without speaking.

Men die for wealth, just as birds die for food.

The only thing that could make Du Wen and Ying Wushou fight so viciously must be some treasure.

Wouldn't that mean that only he, Senior Xuanhai, had gained nothing since entering this place?

This caused a hidden sense of unwillingness to rise in Senior Xuanhai's heart; after all, he was the strongest individual among everyone present!

To be the strongest, yet gain nothing.

It was like going fishing with a rod worth tens of thousands, using the best bait, only to come back empty-handed.

Coming back empty-handed would be one thing, but if a young man next to you using a bamboo pole as a rod caught a fish weighing dozens of pounds, could you stand it?

"With just you and me, we cannot deal with the four great villains," Senior Xuanhai said.

"Senior, to tell you the truth, I am actually an Array Master!"

Ye Lin said.

"As long as you can lure the four of them into the array I have prepared in advance, I guarantee I can wipe them all out in one fell swoop!"

Senior Xuanhai looked at Ye Lin, his skull face devoid of any expression.

"Very well, but you must let me place a Bone Curse on you."

"Little brother, one must always be on guard when out in the world. I hope you understand. If you truly only want revenge, I guarantee nothing will happen to you."

"But if you intend to use me and then kill me as well, my Bone Curse will twist and shatter every bone in your body within a few breaths, and then your bones will rot and decay bit by bit."

Ye Lin's expression changed abruptly; a look of hesitation and struggle appeared on his face, and then he said in a deep voice.

"Then I also need a guarantee from you, Senior. You must swear a Dao oath! Guarantee that you will absolutely not be the first to harbor murderous intent toward me!"

After a moment of silence, Senior Xuanhai raised his hand and swore the Dao oath.

Seeing this, Ye Lin finally let out a long sigh of relief and extended his hand toward Senior Xuanhai.

Senior Xuanhai's bone-white fingertips were sharper than blades; he easily sliced through Ye Lin's flesh and tapped lightly on Ye Lin's bone.

A strange sensation emerged from Ye Lin's heart; he clearly felt that his life was now completely under the control of Senior Xuanhai.

With just one thought from the other party, he would be smashed to pieces and left without a whole corpse.

"Senior, can we now cooperate with peace of mind?" Ye Lin said.

"We can." Senior Xuanhai nodded.

The two discussed how to deal with the four great villains and soon agreed on a battle plan.

At this moment, the four great villains were sparing no effort to scavenge the inheritance grounds before them.

Although they had obtained the Life-Severing Sword, a single Innate Supreme Treasure was not enough for four people to divide.

Therefore, there was already a faint trend of infighting among the four.

The only solution was to find other heavenly treasures with value not inferior to the Innate Supreme Treasure.

The Life-Severing Sword was held in the hand of Blood Rose.

Meanwhile, Insect-Heart Granny, Flame Demon Lord, and Soul Fiend stood in a triangular formation, surrounding Blood Rose.

Clearly, all three were worried that Blood Rose would take the Life-Severing Sword and flee.

"Damn it, this godforsaken place wouldn't really only have this one Innate Supreme Treasure, would it?"

Flame Demon Lord spat, a look of regret appearing on his face.

If he had known, he wouldn't have formed an alliance with these three.

At the time, the three of them, including Insect-Heart Granny, hadn't discovered Ye Lin; he was the only one who had found him.

If he had acted alone, the Innate Supreme Treasure would have been his alone!

Now that he had to share it with three others, Flame Demon Lord felt extremely irritable at the thought.

"Search more carefully; there must be other treasures."

Insect-Heart Granny said hoarsely, her eyes glancing inadvertently at the Life-Severing Sword; clearly, she was also coveting this Innate Supreme Treasure.

Feeling the fiery gazes of the others, Blood Rose narrowed her eyes slightly.

She was wondering what the probability was of her escaping with the Innate Supreme Treasure in hand.

The four great villains were clearly not a monolithic block; in the face of such a treasure as the Life-Severing Sword, even the four of them were harboring their own secret schemes.

Just then, a white jade skeleton suddenly appeared directly in front of them.

This made the four great villains instantly alert.

They would fight among themselves when there were no enemies, but they would unite against outsiders when there were enemies.

"Senior Xuanhai, what a coincidence."

Insect-Heart Granny smiled at Senior Xuanhai, but there was no warmth in that smile.

Blood Rose, Flame Demon Lord, and Soul Fiend also faintly prepared themselves to strike.

An innocent man is innocent, but holding a treasure is a crime.

They had to be on guard against Senior Xuanhai.

Senior Xuanhai remained silent.

Ye Lin had just told him a divine ability, saying that by following it, he could instantly snatch the Life-Severing Sword from the hands of the four great villains.

But the incantations and hand seals for that divine ability were truly difficult for Senior Xuanhai to bring himself to say.

"Senior Xuanhai, if there is nothing else, please do not block our path, so as to avoid any misunderstandings," Insect-Heart Granny said.

At this moment, Senior Xuanhai finally made up his mind.

He placed his two skeletal hands by his mouth, trembling with excitement, and began to stomp his feet at an extremely fast speed.

"Ahhhhhhhh! Baby, you are a fragrant, soft little strawberry cupcake! Ahhhhhhhh, such a cute baby! Ahhhhhhhh, I feel like you smell so sweet! Ahhhhhhhh!"
