"Hahaha! Very good, very good! He has the demeanor of our Sect!"
Hearing Chen Yi's murderous words, the Grand Elder also laughed heartily. This was one of the reasons he liked Chen Yi; as long as he determined someone was an enemy, he would never show mercy.
The next moment, blue light surged in his eyes, and two blue sharp swords shot out from them, heading straight for Yu Yuan'ao and his son.
"No! No! You can't do this, I am an Elder of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"
Seeing that the Grand Elder not only didn't stop them but instead directly 'sent a knowing glance,' Yu Yuan'ao and his son were instantly Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering. Violent lightning surged around their bodies, attempting to form a defense, but their bodies had already instinctively turned to flee.
However, the two spiritual swords were even faster, completely ignoring the swirling lightning barrier, and pierced precisely into the center of their brows like two streaks of light, instantly freezing their fleeing figures.
"Boom—"
With two thuds, two Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon powerhouses, renowned for their fierce reputation in the Spirit Master's world, fell.
"Hehe, it seems our luck is good today!"
Watching Yu Yuan'ao's right arm emit streaks of red light, the Grand Elder immediately took a step forward, arriving beside Yu Yuan'ao and his son. With a casual flick, Yu Yuan'ao's entire body dissolved into a mist of blood.
The Grand Elder waved his large sleeve, and a streak of light from the blood mist was drawn into his hand. Chen Yi looked closely and saw it was a right arm Spirit Bone, completely black and emitting a bloody glow.
Weighing the Spirit Bone in his hand, the Grand Elder smiled contentedly, "Hmm, judging by its quality, it's probably around thirty thousand years old. Not bad, not bad!"
To come out to hunt a spirit ring and also pick up a thirty-thousand-year-old Spirit Bone, and a power-type Spirit Bone that suited the Body Sect at that, even a Titled Douluo like the Grand Elder couldn't help but exclaim that it was a huge gain.
"Senior has obtained such a treasure, truly a cause for joy and congratulations!" Ye Cien and the others, seeing that the matter was concluded, also walked over. Regardless of the other party's motives, they had indeed solved a big problem for them. Otherwise, even if they could win, it would likely be a mutually destructive situation.
Soon, he looked at Chen Yi, who was obediently standing behind the Grand Elder, and his eyes could not hide his shock.
That day, he had only guessed from Chen Yi's appearance that he had just awakened his Spirit not long ago, and had not deeply investigated his spirit power.
But today, he saw that the other party had already reached level twenty-five or higher, and just now, without even using his Spirit, he had torn apart a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit Master.
Even with his seventy-plus years of experience, he had never seen such a World-shaking Genius.
Behind him, Tie Xu and Lin Xi looked at them with vigilance. Although this matter originated from them, the one who ultimately acted was this Titled Douluo.
The other party not only killed two Elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and a Genius Disciple, but most importantly, also seized a ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone. It was uncertain whether he would choose to kill them to silence them to avoid trouble.
Looking at Ye Cien, who stood before him, a flicker of reminiscence passed through the Grand Elder's eyes. Back then, his Master personally traveled to Star Luo, escorting Ye Cien and his father thousands of miles to the Heaven Dou Empire. At that time, his Senior Brothers and he were there at the border to meet them. By now, it had been over seventy years!
Sensing the Grand Elder's absentmindedness, Ye Cien was immediately puzzled. Could he and the other party have some connection? But Ye Cien thought through everyone he had ever dealt with in his mind, and none of them matched the other party.
In the Spirit Master's world in the past century, there had been no powerhouse or Genius similar to the other party.
Seeing the atmosphere become a bit strange, Chen Yi quickly reached out and tugged on the Grand Elder's sleeve.
"Hahaha, I'm old, and I like to reminisce about the past." Recovering his senses, the Grand Elder chuckled and said with a light smile to Ye Cien:
"After so many years apart, the little fellow that Old Master Ye held in his arms back then now has white hair just like me."
Ye Cien's expression changed dramatically upon hearing this. The other party knew his father and had seen him when he was young. However, he must have been too young at their last meeting, otherwise, he wouldn't have no memory of it.
"May I ask your name?"
The Grand Elder had no intention of hiding it. Although the Body Sect lived in seclusion, they still knew about forces with ties to the Sect, such as the Ye Family and the Heaven Dou Academy.
"My name is Yuan Hua, my Master is Gan Wengang!"
Gan Wengang was the name of the previous generation's Sect Master of the Body Sect.
Upon hearing the name Gan Wengang, Ye Cien felt as if struck by lightning. This name was too familiar to him.
Back then, his father took his young self to travel and seek treatment in the Star Luo Empire, but they were coerced by the then Emperor of the Star Luo Empire, who even imprisoned the father and son.
Countless people, fearing the might of the Star Luo Empire, dared not speak out, but this Senior Gan Wengang traveled thousands of miles to rescue them, taking the father and son out of Star Luo City.
Afterward, he even clashed with the then Star Luo Emperor, the White Tiger Douluo, enduring a Titled Douluo-level Spirit Fusion skill.
Ye Cien still remembered that valiant figure, covered in blood, from that year.
Eleven years ago, when he rallied the continent's powerhouses to assert their might, a Titled Douluo who claimed to be a Disciple of Senior Gan also came to assist.
"So it turns out you are Senior Gan's esteemed Disciple. Then was that Sixth Brother Hua from eleven years ago also from the same Master as you?" Hearing that the Grand Elder was from his benefactor's lineage, Ye Cien was overjoyed and immediately grabbed the Grand Elder's hand and asked.
"Master has eleven Disciples. I am the fourth, and Shuwen is the sixth."
Looking at the excited Ye Cien, the Grand Elder also sighed at the unpredictability of life. The little sprout from back then was now a grandfather, unlike himself, who was a bachelor back then and remained alone now.
"So it was Fourth Brother Yuan in person. Fourth Brother, please accept Ci'en's bow!" Saying this, he pulled his granddaughter Ye Lingling to bow to the Grand Elder.
Ye Lingling, hearing that the other party was actually the Senior Brother of the powerhouse who had stood up for her parents back then, also hastily bowed.
"No, back then, it was merely our Sect owing your Family a favor. It was only right for us to lend a hand." Seeing the grandfather and granddaughter about to bow, the Grand Elder waved his large sleeve, and his vast spirit power quickly stopped their movements.
Ye Cien felt his body no longer under his control, knowing that the other party would certainly not accept his bow, so he said with a wry smile:
"Fourth Brother, you are mistaken. In the past, our Xuanzu only gave your Sect some herbal knowledge and a few prescriptions. This favor was repaid long ago when Senior Gan lent his assistance."
"Moreover, if it weren't for Sixth Brother Hua's full effort eleven years ago, my Ye Family would have long been erased from the Douluo Continent."
Eleven years ago, although the Ye Family invited many powerhouses, in reality, all of them were compelled to come out of politeness. How could they be willing to go against the then-flourishing Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for the sake of a single Ye Family?
At that time, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School not only had the Sword and Bone Douluo but also formed an alliance with the Heaven Dou Empire, subtly appearing to be the number one Sect in the World.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School saw this point, so initially, they didn't take the Ye Family's actions seriously, because they knew that the people the Ye Family invited would only fight in a favorable situation; asking them to fight to the death was simply unrealistic.
It wasn't until Hua Shuwen, Second Elder, titled 'Jade Skin' later stepped onto their mountain gate and clashed with Bone Douluo Gu Rong that Ning Fengzhi took the matter seriously, also forcing the other powerhouses who came to assist to confront them.
Frankly speaking, Hua Shuwen, Second Elder, titled 'Jade Skin' was almost solely responsible for the dignified resolution of that incident; everyone else came after him.
He had also heard about the connection between his Xuanzu and the Body Sect back then. Although his Elder indeed provided some help to the Body Sect, in his Elder's eyes, it was nothing significant.
This was the Douluo Continent, a World where Spirit determined everything. The foundation of the Nine Heart Begonia Ye Family was ultimately their Spirit; as for medical skills, they were just minor tricks to pass the time.
Seventy years ago, Senior Gan Wengang escorted them for thousands of miles. Eleven years ago, Hua Shuwen, Second Elder, titled 'Jade Skin' fought his way into Glazed Tile City.
And today, Yuan Hua personally killed Yu Yuan'ao and his grandson. This was no longer a favor that the Body Sect owed the Ye Family, but rather an unending debt of gratitude that the Ye Family owed the Body Sect.
"Hehe, Brother Ye, you don't know. What that Senior did back then, in his eyes, might have been a small matter, but for our Sect, it was a major event that changed our destiny. It cannot be overemphasized."
The Grand Elder was noncommittal about Ye Cien's thoughts. Those who hadn't experienced that era would never know how difficult it truly was back then. Even hearing just a little from their Master left them silent.
Not to mention, Gan Wengang's Breakthrough to Titled Douluo back then was closely related to the Ye Family's prescription curing his hidden injuries. Now, the powerhouses of the Body Sect are also able to advance rapidly because of this.
Ye Cien shook his head, clearly neither side could convince the other. He then looked at Chen Yi and changed the subject.
"This little fellow must be Fourth Brother's junior. At such a young age, he easily defeated a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit Grandmaster. His future is truly limitless."
Hearing this, the Grand Elder's smile grew even brighter. He waved his hand and said, "The child was just fooling around. If that little lizard hadn't underestimated him, it wouldn't have been so easy."
If that Yu Tianfeng hadn't seen Chen Yi hadn't even activated his Spirit, leading him to choose to directly clash with Chen Yi and lose the initiative, Chen Yi would have needed at least ten more moves to kill him.
Facing the Grand Elder's uncontrollable smile, Ye Cien didn't expose him. Instead, he squatted down and carefully observed Chen Yi for a while before speaking:
"My Lingling is about your age. You two can interact more in the future. This girl is used to being alone in Heaven Dou City, and she really needs a playmate!"
Although he didn't know why Chen Yi had broken through to Spirit Grandmaster right after Awakening his Spirit, Ye Cien was certain—this would be a peerless giant far surpassing Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu. If his granddaughter could be with him in the future, similar incidents like today would not happen again.
"That would be wonderful. When Yi'er is older in a few years, I'll let him visit your residence to broaden his horizons and see what a Divine Doctor Family is like!"
The Grand Elder looked at Ye Lingling and laughed heartily, but in his heart, he couldn't help but sigh. Ye Cien was making arrangements for the future, wanting to find a reliable support for his granddaughter!
