“How did you end up with this scoundrel?”
When Ye Jing Yun saw Ji Die, she found it unbelievable. Her eyes widened as she stared at the two of them. This was too hard for her to imagine. Were these two not supposed to be mortal enemies?
“She sensed that I am an upright, kind, pure, noble gentleman with extremely high cultivation. It is you ordinary people who have misunderstood me. So her impression of me is still good.” Ye Chu shrugged at Ye Jing Yun and said, “Only you have always thought I am so rotten.”
Tan Miao Tong stood to the side. When she heard Ye Chu’s words, she could not help covering her mouth and giggling. Her expression was charming. Her fair skin looked so tender it seemed about to drip water. It made people want to pinch it.
“No need to feel anything. Haven’t you always been a scoundrel?” Ye Jing Yun directly ignored Ye Chu’s words. Her gaze turned to Ji Die. When she saw Ji Die’s unstable aura, her heart jolted even more. “Who could possibly injure you?”
Ye Jing Yun knew Ji Die possessed a heaven-and-earth grade jade bracelet. In this area she could walk sideways without fear. How could anyone hurt her?
“The Ancient Nightmare Forbidden Ground!” Ji Die answered Ye Jing Yun. But those words made both Tan Miao Tong and Ye Jing Yun’s faces change greatly. “What? You are not telling us you came out from there, right?”
Seeing that neither Ye Chu nor Ji Die spoke, the two women exchanged a glance. They both saw the shock in each other’s eyes. Especially Tan Miao Tong. She knew deeply how terrifying that place was. Very few who entered ever came out alive.
“Good, good. Luckily you did not see the altar in the Ancient Nightmare Forbidden Ground. Otherwise you would surely have died.” Tan Miao Tong patted her chest. Her pats made it tremble. One could feel the soft bounce inside. It was extremely captivating.
“We saw the altar. That is why we are heavily injured!” Ji Die sighed and said.
“What? You saw the altar?” Tan Miao Tong stared wide-eyed at Ye Chu. When she saw Ye Chu nod in confirmation, huge waves surged in her heart.
Those who entered the Ancient Nightmare Forbidden Ground and came out alive were all people who had never seen the altar. Those who saw the altar and still survived could be counted on one hand. Every single one was a legendary figure. Back then her family sent many powerful experts to charge into the altar. They encountered peerless danger and were nearly wiped out. Only one cultivator escaped. Even he could not hold on for three years and died from the hidden injuries left by the Ancient Nightmare Forbidden Ground.
That senior back then said there were corpse spirits inside. Every one was the corpse spirit of an absolute powerhouse. Even the corpse spirit of the Heavenly Feather Holy Lord was among them. This news terrified her clan. They never dared to target the Ancient Nightmare Forbidden Ground again.
But Tan Miao Tong could never believe that they had seen that altar and still come out alive.
“You did not see the corpse spirits, right?” Tan Miao Tong thought perhaps the altar had changed greatly and no longer had terrifying existences like corpse spirits.
“We saw the Heavenly Feather Holy Lord!” Ye Chu shrugged and said, “But due to special circumstances, we were not killed by him.”
Ye Jing Yun and Tan Miao Tong could no longer stay calm. They stared blankly at Ye Chu, unable to believe this was real. Encountering the Heavenly Feather Holy Lord and still returning alive? Probably only a supreme could have such confidence.
Tan Miao Tong looked at the two of them. She knew they must have had special means to survive and come back. She did not ask any more.
“Rumour says the Ancient Nightmare Forbidden Ground holds a great secret. Since you entered deep inside, do you know what that great secret is? Also, the Ancient Nightmare Forbidden Ground has endless supreme treasures. Did you obtain anything?” Ye Jing Yun asked Ji Die.
Ji Die nodded. Thinking that the Burial Void Sword Art originally belonged to the Ye family, she did not hide it. She said, “We obtained a peerless sword art. It is related to the Ye family.”
Ye Jing Yun was shocked by this. She stared blankly at Ji Die and said, “You did not meet the ancestor, did you?”
“We saw the ancestor’s corpse. It was sealed in a crystal coffin. Fortunately it had not turned into a corpse spirit.” Ji Die said, “We can consider ourselves lucky.”
“Then what did you obtain?” Ye Jing Yun took a deep breath to calm her emotions. Her gaze burned as she stared at Ji Die.
“Burial Void Sword Art!”
“What?” Ye Jing Yun jumped up in shock. Her sexy long legs straightened. Her eyes widened as she stared at Ji Die. An incredulous look appeared on her stunning face.
As a member of the Ye family, how could she not know how terrifying this sword art was? It could be said that this sword art was comparable to the peerless sword in her hand. It was the dream of every Ye family member. They had always wanted to obtain it but never succeeded. How many ancestors had sighed over it? Yet now Ji Die was telling her she had obtained this sword art.
Ye Jing Yun could not even imagine what kind of shock this news would cause if it reached the Ye family. She even felt that if Ji Die said she wanted to become the Ye family head, those old ancestors would probably agree.
Burial Void Sword Art was the dream of the Ye family. Every Ye family disciple wanted to see it reappear in the world.
Ye Jing Yun’s expression also turned serious. She looked at Ji Die and said, “You know how much effort the Ye family has put into this sword art over the generations. What do you plan to do?”
Ji Die looked at Ye Jing Yun. They were cousins. She also knew Ye Jing Yun’s ambition. She had always wanted to become the Ye family head. But being born a woman put her at an inherent disadvantage. Similarly her eldest uncle had always wanted to seize the family head position from her second uncle.
Ji Die had always chosen to ignore these entanglements in the Ye family. She did not want to get involved. But Ji Die also knew clearly that if she passed the Burial Void Sword Art to one side, that side would gain absolute advantage.
This sword art originally belonged to the Ye family. Ji Die naturally would not keep it to herself alone. Only…
Ji Die could not help glancing at Ye Chu. She thought Ye Chu also possessed this sword art. If those living fossils in secluded cultivation in the family found out, would they summon Ye Chu back to the Ye family again and give him an extremely high status?
“You know what I am worried about!” Ji Die looked at Ye Jing Yun and said, “I do not want to see the two uncles fight to the death.”
Ye Jing Yun gave a bitter smile. She said, “Do you think I want that? But have you not seen how aggressive eldest uncle is? My father and I have always been giving way. Otherwise with father’s strength, killing eldest uncle would be as easy as lifting a hand. But he has not done so. Why? Because he still cares that they share Ye family blood.”
Ji Die looked at Ye Jing Yun. She knew Ye Jing Yun was telling the truth. Her second uncle had sat in the family head position these years. Plus he possessed the ancestor’s supreme treasure sharp sword. No one knew what level he had reached. If he really wanted to kill eldest uncle, it would not take much effort. But these years second uncle had not interfered much. That was why eldest uncle’s power had grown bigger and bigger.
“I have only slightly grasped some essence of the Burial Void Sword Art for now. But if you want to learn it, I can teach you.” Ji Die finally made her choice. She said to Ye Jing Yun.
Ye Jing Yun was overjoyed. She knew what this meant. If she learned the Burial Void Sword Art, her disadvantage as a woman would completely disappear.
Ji Die thoughtfully glanced at Ye Chu. That glance made Ye Chu’s eyelid twitch. He was afraid Ji Die would reveal that he also knew the Burial Void Sword Art. He had been driven out of the Ye family. If the Ye family found out, who knew how they would treat him.
