Chapter 578: Chapter 4: Who is really the strongest in Longevity Sect? _2
 

Facing Dongfang Yi’s move, Ye Haijiao no longer concealed anything.

A secret technique was unleashed, with the aura of a Peak Great Saint from the early stage bursting out from Ye Haijiao.

But this was not over yet.

The Saint-inviting Law, the Bloodline Secret Technique!

In an instant, Ye Haijiao’s aura began to skyrocket!

Even Dongfang Yi, felt an immense threat from Ye Haijiao.

At this point, Dongfang Yi finally understood why the puppetry talisman had no effect.

All along, Ye Haijiao’s cultivation level was not at the peak of a Saint, he had been deceived.

Had he been played?

Dongfang Yi, who had always considered himself to be in control of the situation, now felt deep humiliation.

After having such a run in the world for so many years, he had been played by a woman. This was a great shame for Dongfang Yi.

In his heart, resentment towards Ye Haijiao grew.

If Ye Haijiao truly loved him, why couldn’t she obediently be his hostage? Why bother making things difficult for him at this critical time?

This thought added more power to Dongfang Yi’s move.

An invisible force was bombarding Ye Haijiao’s Sea of Soul, clearly intending to seriously injure Ye Haijiao.

Ye Haijiao’s eyes cooled, and a top-tier defensive Great saint artifact flew out from her body, shielding her.

Behind her, the top-tier offensive Great saint artifact didn’t lag either, hurtling towards Dongfang Yi.

Top-tier Great Saint Artifacts!

Previously, Dongfang Yi had known that Ye Haijiao possessed a Great Saint artifact, but it was just a lower-grade one.

These two top-tier Great Saint artifacts, Ye Haijiao had never displayed them in front of him before.

The numerous measures Ye Haijiao had just displayed made Dongfang Yi realize that the Ye Haijiao he knew, was totally different.

Every single move she made so far had exceeded his expectations.

Faced with the unceasingly fierce top-tier offensive Great Saint artifact, Dongfang Yi could only veer off, not daring to confront it head-on.

But Ye Haijiao had no intention of giving Dongfang Yi a break. Wave after wave of attacks continuously hurtled towards him.

Jerk men, deserves to die!

Dongfang Yi could only rely on his more powerful cultivation level to keep evading the attacks, occasionally having to withstand a hit when evasion was impossible.

Soon, signs of Dongfang Yi’s defeat began to show.

During this time, Dongfang Yi catches sight of Ye Jinhai and the mysterious female cultivator standing by watching the fight, deep inside he senses that all was not well.

With him already being pushed to this state by Ye Haijiao alone, if Ye Jinhai and the mysterious woman joined the fight, he feared he would directly meet his end here today.

It seemed the most powerful one in the Longevity Sect was not the Longevity Great Saint, but his sworn sibling, Ye Haijiao.

Damn it!

If he knew things would turn out this way earlier, he would have been more careful with Ye Haijiao.

In Dongfang Yi’s eyes, as long as he was willing, he had countless opportunities to deal with Ye Haijiao, the most powerful member of the Longevity Sect.

If he had eliminated Ye Haijiao early on, things wouldn’t be the way they are today.

All of this was Ye Haijiao’s fault, for hiding so deeply from him.

If it weren’t for Ye Haijiao’s reticence, he wouldn’t be in such a predicament today.

If he had the chance, he would make sure Ye Haijiao paid the price.

Although Ye Jinhai had no intention of joining the fight, Ye Xiaoxiao seemed eager to. She quite liking the idea of beating down scumbags.

However, to allow her cute granddaughter the chance to vent, Ye Xiaoxiao had to push back her own desire to join the fight.

At least, she had to wait until Ye Haijiao had vented her anger first.

Ye Haijiao’s cultivation level was ultimately a bit weaker.

Controlling the top-tier Great Saint artifact put an enormous strain on Ye Haijiao.

If she couldn’t defeat Dongfang Yi in a quick battle, then that would be the moment of her defeat.

However, Ye Haijiao was not worried, she was only fighting to vent her anger.

She still had her grandmother and father behind her. This Dongfang Yi couldn’t possibly cause any more trouble.

After exchanging thousands of blows, Ye Haijiao’s aura finally began to wane.

Dongfang Yi, seeing Ye Haijiao’s struggle, was overjoyed.

Defeating Ye Haijiao, the most powerful member of the Longevity Sect, was tantamount to defeating the entire sect. His plan was about to succeed.

It seemed like it would be impossible to threaten Ye Jinhai to surrender his treasures now, so he could only proceed to annihilate the Longevity Sect and then find the sect’s treasures himself.

Snow Dragon Divine Art!

This is Dongfang Yi’s strongest divine art inheritance, which he unleashed in a blink of an eye.

A snow dragon, bearing a hint of Dongfang Yi’s true essence, roared towards Ye Haijiao.

If it hit its mark, even with the High-grade Defensive Holy Artifact, Ye Haijiao would be severely injured!

“It hit!”

Seeing the divine art strike Ye Haijiao, a smile finally stretched across Dongfang Yi’s face.

But the next moment, that smile faded.

In front of Ye Haijiao stood a familiar figure.

Most importantly, that figure exuded the aura of a true Peak Great Saint.

Ye Jinhai!

“Longevity Great Saint, how can he be a Peak Great Saint?”

Feeling the unmistakable aura of a Peak Great Saint emanating from Ye Jinhai, Dongfang Yi was finally filled with fear.

Turns out, Ye Haijiao wasn’t the strongest figure of the Longevity Sect at all. This usually unassuming Longevity Great Saint, was actually the most terrifying existence in the sect!

A Peak Great Saint, playing possum all this while? Where was the dignity of a Peak Great Saint?

Inwardly, Dongfang Yi cursed Ye Jinhai’s shamelessness, but he was left with no other options.

The moment Ye Jinhai exposed his true aura, Dongfang Yi knew he was no match for him.

No, I haven’t lost yet!

As long as I survive until the arrival of the True God of Stone Mansion, I still have a chance.

Although by the time the True God of Stone Mansion intervenes, he would be pretty much done for, but at least, he could live!

“Ye Jinhai, don’t get carried away. I’ve already set up a massive formation under your Longevity Sect. If you dare touch me, your Longevity Sect will be destroyed.”

“Yes, this formation may not affect you but can the ordinary disciples of your Longevity Sect withstand it?”

Dongfang Yi steels himself, revealing his last trump card!

“Formation? You mean these people?”

Ye Jinhai revealed a deeply meaningful smile.

As he saw Ye Jinhai’s smile, Dongfang Yi’s heart sank entirely.

The sealed door of the Cave House opened once again. The Elder who had previously led Stone Sea and the others away, now guided them into the Cave House.

Stone Sea and his companions had lost their vigor, their eyes void as they looked at Dongfang Yi.

So this was what you call a thorough understanding of the Longevity Sect?

This Elder here concealed his true cultivation level too. He was indeed a Late-stage Great Saint, but he managed to disguise himself as an Early-stage Great Saint.

Watching Stone Sea, a few others, and the Late-stage Great Saint Elder, even Dongfang Yi couldn’t help but feel a sense of despair.

All of you from the Longevity Sect are dogs, right? Always hiding your true cultivation levels. Does it make you feel uncomfortable if you don’t do so?

Having played his last hand, Dongfang Yi knew he had been utterly defeated.

“I’ll admit it, I have indeed lost.”

Dongfang Yi spoke up, “When did you start suspecting me?”

As he recalled his actions in the Longevity Sect, Dongfang Yi couldn’t figure out when his guise had slipped.

“Suspect you? We’ve never trusted you from the beginning!”

Ye Shenhe appeared inside the Cave House.

“Elder brother!”

Seeing Ye Shenhe, Ye Haijiao spoke up, a bit embarrassed.

A thousand years ago, Ye Shenhe had told Ye Haijiao that Dongfang Yi was up to no good.

Unfortunately, lovestruck Ye Haijiao had failed to notice anything amiss about Dongfang Yi back then. Instead, she had thought Ye Shenhe was overthinking things and decided to give Dongfang Yi the benefit of doubt over time.

Little did she expect in the end, she, Ye Haijiao, was the actual fool.

Everyone was aware, only she was oblivious, taken for a ride!

“Dongfang Yi, do you think you would have lived up to now if it wasn’t for teaching my sister a lesson about the vicissitudes of life?”

Ye Shenhe’s eyes were filled with contempt. Being able to help his sister gain experience was indeed a worthy feat for Dongfang Yi.

On hearing Ye Shenhe’s words, Dongfang Yi’s face turned ashen.

So it appeared that from the very beginning, he was nothing more than a pawn in their plan to let Ye Haijiao grow.

This realization was a huge blow to Dongfang Yi, who had always thought he had Ye Haijiao wrapped around his finger.
