Peerless War God

“Relax, this Divine Fruit has an extraordinary origin. Once it ripens, it will cause a phenomenon in the heavens and the earth. We have to wait for it to ripen and immediately take it away to avoid any complications. Before that, you all have to guard it with all your heart. After the matter is done, I will definitely reward you heavily.”    

Ye Zhen said in a clear voice.    

“Thank you, Patriarch.”    

“Patriarch.”    

The Ye Clan disciples below were all incomparably excited as they spoke with incomparable excitement. Some of their eyes were red and their blood surged.    

The Divine Fruit had appeared. As long as this matter could be accomplished, they would be able to drink a mouthful of soup and obtain many benefits. Why wouldn’t they do it?    

However, Ye Hao’s brows knitted together as he pondered bitterly, “The Divine Fruit has appeared? This is too much of a coincidence, right? There is really something strange and odd about this. Moreover, there are a few Tribulation Transcenders in my Whitestone City. Why did Elder Mo Hun follow him?”    

The doubts in his heart were quickly asked out by someone.    

Ye Ruo took a step forward and said with a bit of worry, “Patriarch, why don’t you let me go with you? It’ll be a bit more secure.”    

Ye Zhen glared at her and berated, “Hmph, what if the Blood Spirit Cult comes to cause trouble in the city if you go? I still hope that you can watch over the construction of the formation.”    

“This…” Ye Ruo hesitated.    

Indeed, she couldn’t refuse this reason. After all, the reconstruction of the defensive formation in Whitestone City was a top priority.    

Ye Zhen looked at Yang Zhen and Yang Yuan Gang again and said indifferently, "You all have to stay in Baishi City. I will go to the Hundred Herbs Mountain Villa alone. With Elder Mo Hun accompanying me, I will definitely be safe."    

"Are you serious? Didn't you say that the divine fruit has appeared?" Yang Yuan Gang asked.    

"Hey, what divine fruit? It's just a five-hundred-year-old Crimson Blood Fruit. It is somewhat valuable, but it can't be considered divine. Alright, there is no need to say more about this matter. Elder Mo Hun, let's go."    

Ye Zhen said carelessly, not bothering to hide anything.    

As soon as he said that, the faces of the ten or so Ye Family disciples below turned red, and their expressions changed slightly.    

Chen Xiao looked at them and laughed in his heart. As expected, he couldn't hide his own thoughts. He was so happy and angry at the same time.    

This five-hundred-year-old Crimson Blood Fruit was indeed a divine fruit to a Tribulation Transcender cultivator. After swallowing it, one could increase their cultivation by several hundred years. If it was refined into a pill, not only could it increase one's magic power, it also had a certain lifespan extension effect.    

What was even more amazing was that after a Prominent Divine Realm cultivator consumed it, it could greatly increase their chances of passing the tribulation.    

For any Prominent Divine Realm cultivator, it was an irresistible temptation.    

If there was a traitor hiding among these people, they would definitely not be able to resist and snatch it away. This was the trap that Chen Xiao had set up.    

"Yes." Chen Xiao replied and followed behind Ye Zhen.    

The other ten Ye Family disciples did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly followed.    

Immediately, the group headed straight for the Hundred Herbs Manor outside the city. On the way, Chen Xiao asked curiously, "Patriarch Ye, since this Hundred Herbs Manor is so important to your Ye Family, why is it outside the city?"    

"Elder Mo Hun, you don't know," Ye Zhen had also entered his state of mind and said indifferently, "Ordinary medicinal gardens only need to be set up with a small Spirit Gathering Formation, and then they can be taken care of. However, not only are the medicinal properties of the medicinal herbs nurtured in this way bad, but the efficiency is also extremely low. And all the powerful high-level medicinal herbs have extremely harsh requirements for the growing environment. But my Ye Family's Hundred Herbs Manor is an extraordinary treasure land."    

Ye Zhen spoke leisurely, as if he was showing off in front of an old friend.    

Although he knew that Mo Hun was a puppet controlled by Chen Xiao in his heart, when he talked about the Hundred Herbs Manor, the corner of his mouth could not help but curl up.    

The Hundred Herbs Manor was a true blessed land, a treasure basin. With it, one could grow a large number of high-level spiritual materials, allowing the Ye Family to have an endless source of wealth.    

It could be said that the Hundred Herbs Manor was no different from a lifeline to the Ye Family.    

If it wasn't for Chen Xiao personally taking action this time, he would not have been willing to gamble with such an important Hundred Herbs Manor. If he lost, it would be a huge loss.    

Thinking of this, Ye Zhen couldn't help but feel vexed. He carefully transmitted his voice, "Sir, are you confident?"    

"No," Chen Xiao replied very straightforwardly.    

"No? Ah?" Ye Zhen's face stiffened. Only then did he react, and his heart was incomparably shocked.    

"Is it very difficult to understand? If the experts of the Blood Spirit Sect appeared, they would naturally not return. But if they don't appear, then I have no way."    

Chen Xiao replied.    

"But, but I have already spread the matter of the Hundred Herbs Mountain Villa. It should be effective."    

"I don't know."    

"..." Ye Zhen's face was gloomy. He swallowed a few times and forced a smile, saying, "Sir, you promised the five-hundred-year-old Vermillion Blood Fruit before. You won't renege on it, right? If the people of the Blood Spirit Sect don't come, wouldn't it be a waste of a trip?"    

Chen Xiao chuckled and replied with a voice transmission, "Don't worry. I promised you, and I will keep my promise."    

A mere five-hundred-year-old Vermillion Blood Fruit was nothing at all. When he killed Ao Bai and obtained his storage ring, the treasures inside were so many that he was blinded by them. A Vermillion Blood Fruit was just a good treasure to Ye Zhen, but to Chen Xiao, it was like chicken ribs.    

Originally, with his methods, he only needed to exert a little pressure and Ye Zhen would have no choice but to work for him. However, this kind of overbearing method was not the right way.    

He only needed to turn a corner and give him a little favor, and he would be able to make Ye Zhen willingly work for him. Why would he not do it?    

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."    

After obtaining Chen Xiao's guarantee, Ye Zhen was almost overjoyed. He couldn't hide it anymore and hurriedly suppressed it.    

"Don't expose yourself. You have to put on a good show." Chen Xiao snorted coldly.    

"Yes, I understand, my lord."    

Not long after, the group arrived at a rock forest outside the city. Looking from the outside, there was no sign of a manor at all. It was completely a wild land. However, Chen Xiao's senses were extremely sharp, and he immediately sensed it.    

"It seems like there is a concealment formation."    

Chen Xiao thought.    

Ye Zhen coldly swept his eyes around, and spread out his Spiritual Sense to a radius of thousands of feet. After confirming that everything was normal, he said.    

"You guys spread out and be on guard."    

He ordered the ten disciples of the Ye Family.    

"Yes."    

"Yes."    

Swoosh! Swoosh! The ten disciples of the Ye Family instantly spread out and surrounded Ye Zhen.    

Only then did Ye Zhen walk in front of an inconspicuous rock. He put his hands together and began to form a formation. He formed a seal.    

"Crack crack crack."    

Then, a concealed array space was opened. Ye Zhen turned around and shouted, "Let's go. Follow me."    

"Yes." Chen Xiao said.    

Immediately, the group quickly entered. Then, the array formation slowly closed and was once again concealed. From the outside, there was no trace of it, and it was hidden very well.    

It could be seen that in order to build this Hundred Herbs Manor, the Ye Family had definitely spent a lot of effort and was very careful.
