Chapter 1742

The voice that suddenly sounded from behind was all too familiar to the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor.

However, before he could react, in the next second a pitch-black dagger directly stabbed through his heart.

It entered from his back, pierced straight out his chest, and at the same time the terrifying power on the dagger wildly wreaked havoc inside this divine soul avatar of his.

And the Yongye Old Ancestor's figure had appeared behind the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor at some point.

He tilted his head, smiled, and leaned close to the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor's ear to speak.

"Old thing, you really think this bit of humanity of yours escapes this old man's notice?"

You....................

Upon hearing this, the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor's divine soul avatar began to disintegrate, his eyes full of unwillingness.

He had clearly already factored the Yongye Old Ancestor into that attack, yet the latter was unharmed.

As the founder of Yongye, the number of assassinations by the Yongye Old Ancestor is naturally beyond doubt.

Put it this way, in Zhu Tian Wan Jie, speaking solely of assassination arts, the Yongye Old Ancestor is undoubtedly the best.

The entire Yongye organization, with so many assassins up and down, has created a mighty reputation in Zhu Tian Wan Jie.

All of this was cultivated single-handedly by the Yongye Old Ancestor.

The Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor had been too happy too early; actually, from the moment he acted furtively and pretended, the Yongye Old Ancestor had sensed something was off.

Moreover, this guy glanced at Ye Zhangqing a few times, and the Yongye Old Ancestor instantly guessed what this old thing wanted to do.

Thus, from beginning to end, the Yongye Old Ancestor kept one eye open.

Want to take advantage and kill them, then stay behind to run amok on the path to immortality? Hah, did you ask him?

With those words, the black dagger slowly turned in the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor's heart, and as it turned, the disintegration speed of his divine soul avatar grew ever faster.

Who would have thought that at the critical moment, all would be lost, and the already helpless Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor would grit his teeth in unwillingness and say.

"Is a single Dao Yi Shengdi really worth your Yongye giving your all to protect it? What the Dao Yi Shengdi can give you, my Human Emperor Palace can give even more."

That statement is not false; given the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor's current state, if he could destroy the Dao Yi Shengdi, he would likely pay any price.

However, regarding this, the Yongye Old Ancestor laughed and said.

"What this old man protects is not the Dao Yi Shengdi, but Ye Zhangqing."

"Ye Zhangqing............"

Upon hearing these words, the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor gritted his teeth and said, "Indeed, the root of everything lies with Ye Zhangqing; this child must die."

If this child does not die, then it will be his Human Emperor Palace that faces destruction.

To act against the Dao Yi Shengdi, one must first kill this brat Ye Zhangqing.

However, this time the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor obviously had no chance; soon his divine soul avatar dissipated where he stood.

The plan failed, and on the path to immortality, only the Yongye Old Ancestor's divine soul avatar remained.

Looking at Yongye Old Ancestor, the faces of Qing Shen Ji and Tian Xing could be described as extremely grim.

After all, only Yongye Old Ancestor remained, which was hardly good news for them.

The relationship between Yongye Old Ancestor and Ye Zhangqing was clear to both of them; moreover, this time they had entered the path to immortality after reaching an agreement with the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor to kill Ye Zhangqing.

Just then, Yongye Old Ancestor's gaze fell upon them; the two were startled, came to their senses, and Qing Shen Ji, feeling uncertain, said.

Senior.................

It seemed he had long guessed what they wanted to say, and Yongye Old Ancestor grinned and said.

"Alright, this old man has no time to deal with you."

Yongye Old Ancestor had never considered slaying Qing Shen Ji and Tian Xing, for if he killed these two little brats here, the God Clan Old Ancestor, the previous generation's God Clan goddess, and the Heavenly Clan Old Ancestor would likely go mad.

This immortal realm's method of longevity is also something he has long yearned for, after all who wouldn't want to live longer and pursue a higher realm.

Furthermore, matters among the younger generation should be left to them to resolve; after all, Ye Zhangqing is no pushover.

This can be seen from the fact that Qing Shen Ji and the other were forced to use the Linked Heavenly Grand Formation.

Upon hearing this, Qing Shen Ji and the other secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then respectfully bowed to Yongye Old Ancestor; seeing that he truly had no intention of acting, they hurriedly left.

As Qing Shen Ji and the other departed, Yongye Old Ancestor leisurely floated to stand before Ye Zhangqing and his two companions.

He grinned and said.

"Hehe, how about it, this old man's move of the mantis stalking the cicada, with the oriole behind—isn't it nice?"

"Hehe, Senior, that sneak attack was pulled off beautifully."

Upon hearing this, Hei Lin gave no reply, wearing a look of disdain, while Luo Jiuyou smiled and responded.

Seeing this, Yongye Old Ancestor's smile grew even more radiant, and he expressed approval to him.

"Hehe, it's you, kid, who suits my taste; unlike him, who's always like a sealed gourd—I don't know what this old man saw in him back then."

One might almost think Luo Jiuyou was the Yongye Old Ancestor's disciple, while Hei Lin turned out to be the outsider.

However, Yongye Old Ancestor didn't continue with idle chatter; although he had successfully shattered the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor's little trick, his own divine soul avatar was also badly wounded and couldn't last much longer.

Before that..............

Turning his gaze to Ye Zhangqing, Yongye Old Ancestor directly asked.

"How about it, do you want this old man to help you break this Formation, or would you rather stay inside?"

"Then it would be a bother, Senior."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhangqing cupped his fists in thanks, saying that since they had come to the path to immortality, it was naturally impossible to remain trapped in the Lock-Heaven Grand Formation.

Yongye Old Ancestor still had the strength to solve this Formation, so there was certainly nothing to hesitate about.

Yongye Old Ancestor began to use the remaining strength of his divine soul avatar to break the Formation for Ye Zhangqing and his two companions.

As for the Dao Yi Shengdi, with the divine soul avatar shattering, the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor suddenly opened his eyes, filled with fury, and roared.

"I will surely kill you."

These words were clearly aimed at Yongye Old Ancestor; this was not the first time the other side had ruined his plans.

It was about to succeed; if it weren't for the Eternal Night Old Ancestor, Ye Zhangqing at this moment would likely already be a corpse.

And as long as Ye Zhangqing is killed, does the Dao Yi Shengdi still have a way to survive? Without an Ancestral Realm expert holding the fort, it could be suppressed in the blink of an eye.

By then, his Human Emperor Palace will still be the orthodox lineage of the Human Race.

Unfortunately, everything was shattered by that single strike of the Eternal Night Old Ancestor, and the fury in the heart of the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor can be imagined.

Ye Zhangqing, at this moment has already been placed on the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor's death list, and moreover ranks first.

This child must die; he cannot be allowed to live.

Just as the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor was pondering how to kill Ye Zhangqing, in the Immortal Realm, a mountain peak above the cloud layer.

A white-robed old man sat cross-legged above the mountain peak, at the top of the white clouds, with a young man standing behind him.

After hearing the young man's words, the white-robed old man smiled faintly.

"Let the immortal corpse be dead if it's dead; people of the Xia Jie being able to open the Xianmen and enter the Liufang Dizhi is also their own fortune, needing no excessive obstruction, and the Immortal Realm should also become lively."
