Chapter 1710

Upon hearing the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor's sarcastic remarks, Yun Xiantai immediately shouted angrily, not caring at all about the other's status.

Faced with Yun Xiantai's angry shout, the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor's expression darkened, and he let out a cold snort.

"Hmph, what are you, to dare speak in my presence?"

As he spoke, a pressure of the Ancestor Realm level suddenly bore down on Yun Xiantai; facing the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor's suppression, although Yun Xiantai had already attained perfection in the Emperor Sovereign Realm, he still couldn't help but turn pale.

It seemed only a step away, yet that step's gap was impossible to cross.

Under the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor's pressure, Yun Xiantai could only grit his teeth and endure, his qi and blood surging inside, yet he still refused to yield and did not lower his head.

Seeing Yun Xiantai's stubborn appearance, the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor was about to increase the pressure, to make this old thing know reality.

But before that, Eternal Night Old Ancestor intervened, dispelling the pressure around Yun Xiantai, and then said lightly.

"Enough."

Following Eternal Night Old Ancestor's move, the God Clan Old Ancestor and the Heaven Clan Old Ancestor said nothing, while the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor gave him a cold glance and also remained silent.

He hadn't actually intended to kill Yun Xiantai right here, because that was impossible.

The God Clan Old Ancestor had no intention of joining forces with Eternal Night Old Ancestor and the Nether Clan Old Ancestor to act, and alone he obviously couldn't kill Yun Xiantai in this situation.

After the previous crushing defeat, the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor had indeed become a bit wiser, knowing to endure.

"Fine, then let's continue the discussion. Our respective young masters can all enter the Immortal Ascension Path, so why can't your Dao Yi Shengdi?"

Continuing to steer the topic back to Ye Zhangqing, the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor was determined to get Ye Zhangqing into the Immortal Ascension Path.

Having stayed a while at Dao Yi Shengdi, the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor naturally also knew what Ye Zhangqing meant to Dao Yi Shengdi.

Putting it this way, Eternal Night and the Nether Clan only allied with Dao Yi Shengdi and protected it everywhere out of respect for Ye Zhangqing's face.

If Ye Zhangqing were to meet with some mishap, would Eternal Night and the Nether Clan still ally with Dao Yi Shengdi?

Then it would be his time to destroy Dao Yi Shengdi and take revenge.

The Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor's ultimate goal was still to destroy Dao Yi Shengdi, but before that he needed to find a way to eliminate Ye Zhangqing.

Even after destroying Dao Yi Shengdi, the Human Emperor Palace would remain the orthodox Human Race, and although its prestige would greatly diminish, it could still forcefully stabilize the situation.

Upon hearing the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor's words, the God Clan Old Ancestor and the Heaven Clan Old Ancestor no longer remained silent, but spoke up in turn to show their support.

"That makes sense; since it's for everyone's benefit, we all must contribute—how could there be talk of taking advantage for nothing?"

"I agree."

With those two speaking, Eternal Night Old Ancestor and the Nether Clan Old Ancestor instead fell silent.

Those words sounded as if there was truly nothing to fault.

As the situation developed to this point, Ye Zhangqing, standing at the forefront of the great hall, first glanced at the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor.

What scheme this old coot was hatching, I could roughly guess.

Moreover, this move of his was indeed clever; even though you clearly know what this old coot is plotting, you still have no way to counter it.

Now that even Eternal Night Old Ancestor and the Nether Clan Old Ancestor are silent, Ye Zhangqing also knows that he likely has no chance to refuse.

Yun Xiantai was about to speak when Ye Zhangqing beat him to it.

"When did I, as a junior, ever say I wouldn't go to the Immortal Ascension Path?"

"Young Ye Zhangqing, you..............."

We were originally prepared to sacrifice our old lives to protect Ye Zhangqing, never expecting him to say such a thing himself.

Yun Xiantai looked anxiously at Ye Zhangqing, while Ye Zhangqing gave him a reassuring glance.

Upon hearing this, the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor glanced at Ye Zhangqing and let out a faint cold smile.

"That's best."

If Ye Zhangqing agrees to enter the Immortal Ascension Path, then his plan succeeds, and the rest becomes less important.

Since even Ye Zhangqing himself has spoken, there's nothing else to say.

Having decided that the Top Prodigies would lead the way into the Immortal Ascension Path to scout the situation, the crowd then dispersed one after another.

Returning to the canteen together with Ye Zhangqing, Yun Xiantai said with a dark face.

"I'm telling you, kid, what are you thinking? Don't you know what scheme that old dog is hatching?"

"You're usually so smart, what's wrong this time? You clearly see it's a trap, yet you still want to jump in?"

All the way, Yun Xiantai kept complaining, of course, more so out of worry.

Going to the Immortal Ascension Path, Ye Zhangqing will definitely face extreme danger; although I don't know what other schemes that old dog has, he surely harbors no good intentions.

Even if it's just the situation of the Immortal Ascension Path itself, it's already made Yun Xiantai worry endlessly.

All the way to the canteen's rear courtyard, seeing Yun Xiantai still chattering on, Ye Zhangqing laughed.

"Old Ancestor, I know you're worried, but just now there was no choice either; if I hadn't agreed, they wouldn't have let up."

"Then you still...................."

"Since there's no choice, I might as well just agree; they like to play open schemes, leaving me unable to refuse, so I'll accept it openly."

"Anyway, the Immortal Ascension Path can now only be entered by the younger generation, and regardless of who it is, I fear no one; besides, aren't there still Luo Jiuyou and Hei Lin?"

Ye Zhangqing naturally considered the consequences, and his daring to agree stemmed from confidence in his own strength.

When he said this, Ye Zhangqing's eyes were filled with strong confidence.

These old things press step by step, and they don't even give you a reason to refuse; they like to come out in the open, so let them come.

By then we'll see whether it's the juniors you've poured all your effort into cultivating who die in the Immortal Ascension Path, or I, Ye Zhangqing, who dies there.

Anyway, only a few people can enter the Immortal Ascension Path—Qing Shen Ji, Tian Xing, and Ye Zhangqing wants to see what they can do.

Hearing Ye Zhangqing's words, Yun Xiantai opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing, merely sighed, plopped down beside Ye Zhangqing, and spoke fiercely.

"You damned thing, don't let me break through to the Ancestor Realm, or I'll be the first to kill you."

Yun Xiantai still felt some self-reproach, thinking that if he himself could break through to the Ancestor Realm and possess Ancestor Realm cultivation, he could certainly protect Ye Zhangqing.

Seeing this, Ye Zhangqing's heart warmed, and he smiled.

That old ancestor really needs to cheer up.

Ye Zhangqing's side was not acting impulsively; meanwhile, after the crowd dispersed from the main hall, the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor secretly arrived at Dong Fu where the God Clan Old Ancestor and others resided.

In a secret chamber, the God Clan Old Ancestor, the God Clan's former saintess, and Qing Shen Ji were all present.

The Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor's expression was calm, but his voice was hoarse.

How about it, how's the consideration? As long as Ye Zhangqing is killed, I can agree to all the previously agreed conditions.

As he spoke, the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor was filled with killing intent.
