The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 717 - 298: The Arrival of the Holiest _2

"The Behemoth Beast clan, with their massive forms that feed on mountains, are one of the most difficult wild beasts to deal with amongst the Holy Saint Embryos."

"This guy is different. Being a mutant from birth, it was rubbed on the ground by a true Behemoth Beast, with no chance to counter."

"But when it matured, it underwent Ascending Evolution into a ’Plastic Bimeng,’ appearing robust as the dragon ox, yet it possesses Lightness in its form."

"If you underestimate it because of that, you’re likely to suffer greatly, for the defense of a Plastic Bimeng is extremely strong. Its super-compressed plastic body is harder to damage than melted holy metal. Plus, with the advantage of Lightness, Behemoth Beasts of the same rank can’t handle it."

"There are such strange creatures in the world..."

Ye Dong exclaimed, not forgetting to ask:

"Elder Brother Buchun, whose Contracted Spirit Fond Spirit is this, and why haven’t we heard of it?"

"It has no master."

Ye Buchun Laughed teasingly:

"But our clan has specifically set aside a large territory for it in the Ghost Lamp Abyss, and after these years of coexistence, it can be considered half a guardian spirit."

"Is this something to be happy about?"

Ye Yongqiang suddenly snorted, his face showing a gloomy look:

"The clan can’t even assemble twenty-four Holy Saint Embryos anymore? Do we need to call for outside help to save the situation?"

"I didn’t expect that after thousands of years of slumber, the clan’s situation would become more and more challenging."

"Can you really Laugh when you see this scene, you people of this generation?"

Ye Buchun’s smile gradually disappeared.

His eyes showed a hint of fierceness as he glared at Ye Yongqiang from afar, and the latter, not to be outdone, sneered back at him.

"Alright, what’s there to argue about?"

The female Young King known as "Ye Sisi" stepped forward, standing in-between their locked gazes:

"Since the Plastic Bimeng is willing to help the Ye Clan, and the Ye Clan trusts it enough to let it into Without-Sun City, there’s no need for us to worry unnecessarily."

"Besides, I do not believe that our clan can’t bring together twenty-four Holy Saint Embryos. It’s likely that some Saints need to hold fast at critical locations and can’t return to the clan."

"Agreed," Ye Mo stated approvingly:

"It’s true that Saints are unlikely to raise every Contracted Spirit Fond Spirit into a Holy Saint Embryo."

"But there are always some powerful Saints who have two, or even three, spirit guardians by their side."

"Their presence is the real foundation of the Ye Clan."

"As long as the foundation stands, what’s wrong with asking for outside help? If we can get the aid of other Holy Saint Embryos, isn’t that also a proof of strength and authority?"

"Outsiders are always outsiders, even if they are vassals. How can we so easily trust them?"

Ye Yongqiang clenched his iron fist, chastising darkly:

"In these 120,000 years, haven’t we had any vassals betray us?"

"In the past, when our clan was large and powerful, we had the means to intimidate. With the Ye Clan’s decline, how many tribes have left the Ghost Lamp Abyss to join the ranks of enemy clans?"

"Hoho, what’s the use of just shouting here?"

Ye Buchun responded sarcastically: "If you have the ability, stand on top of the stone pillar and guard for our clan."

"If you’re incapable and like to blabber nonsensically, it seems I didn’t hit you hard enough last time. I should twist your head off to kick around like a ball!"

"You bastard!"

Ye Yongqiang, enraged as if a nerve had been touched, shouted uncontrollably:

"You just got lucky and won once, do you really think there will be a next time?"

"Don’t let me catch you in the tomb; I’ll crush you under my feet and make you recognize reality!"

"All talk and no action, I’m waiting for you."

Ye Buchun flashed his white teeth, his face filled with tough flesh and void of fear.

"These two years... seems like there’s been quite some friction."

Ye Hanjun, who was watching, rarely felt as if he were outside the affair, rather than the center of everyone’s attention.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, a sonic boom came from the sky in the distance, where a Giant spider Sprinted across the land, fast as lightning, with a blurred trail.

Many clansmen failed to react in time, watching helplessly as a several-hundred-meter-long Spider Spear fell from the sky, moving just past their bodies.

"Whoosh~"

Darkness fell over Ye Hanjun’s head, the giant spider’s form blocking his entire field of vision.

In the next breath, the Giant spider had sprinted towards the heaven-piercing pillar, that bone-chilling cold still lingering around, never dissipating.

"How terrifying... Is this the legendary Death Spider Queen? Its size is really this immense..."

"I’ve heard that there’s a place called Black Spider Valley in the Ghost Lamp Abyss, an area that used to be a forbidden zone, with terrifying Holy Saint Embryos active..."

"Later it became the entrance to the Demon Cave, and it’s suspected that the master of the Demon Cave has subdued the ruler of the Death Spider Clan. It seems all of this is true, this must be a Contracted Spirit Fond Spirit of the Ye Clan’s own Saints, not an outsider’s!"

Ye Qiuguo, Ye Yaya, Ye Chun, Ye Shan... one by one; the clansmen’s gazes turned to Ye Hanjun.

The others might not know, but all of those who had entered the Demon Cave in recent years, one hundred percent included Ye Hanjun.

That Demon, plucking the Guqin and splitting lightning, remains a figure that the Young Kings are wary of to this day.

As Ye Hanjun also ascended to the sixth rank, yet mysteriously vanished in front of everyone, the subdued worry deepened even further.

"Ye Tianming..."

Ye Hanjun barely opened his lips, "Elder Ye referred to him as ’Heavenly Saint,’ amongst the many Saints, he certainly isn’t ordinary..."

"You little brat, I see you again!"

Atop the Giant spider, the figure shrouded in green-black mist with thirty-six surrounding eyes revealed its true form.

"So this is the core area of your clan? Looks impressive enough, this King is somewhat satisfied!"

The speaking creature was Fly Moon. Since parting from Demon Dragon Island, its rank had clearly advanced.
