Chapter 1008: He Found Her

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Poor Ye Wenwan.” Ye Leng’an glanced at Ye Yikun with a sneer. “She likely believed all your actions were for her benefit. But you, Ye Yikun, are truly vile. You use anyone, even your granddaughter you raised for over a decade, and your son’s biological daughter, as pawns for your evil arts.”

“We’ve raised Ye Wenwan for over a decade. It’s time for her to give back.” Ye Yikun dismissed Ye Leng’an’s disdain. “And you, Ye Leng’an, with our Ye family’s blood in your veins, should sacrifice for our future. When I become the strongest in the Hidden World, I’ll lead our Ye family to the peak. We will be the largest, commanding respect from all. The Huangfu family and the Enforcement Team will vanish.”

“Why dress it up?” Ye Leng’an scoffed. “You’re not some noble hero. You’re just feeding your own ambition.”

“Say what you want. It doesn’t bother me,” Ye Yikun said, eyes fixed on the rising full moon, barely containing his excitement. “I’ll be the ultimate winner in the end.”

Suddenly, the entire formation glowed with white light. In the center of it all, Ye Leng’an felt her vitality and cultivation draining away with the rising light. Despite being immobilized and sealed, she mustered her spiritual power to fight the draining formation.

Unlike Ye Leng’an, Ye Yikun basked in unprecedented comfort from the white light. He felt a surge of life force flooding into him, boosting his cultivation.

In under a minute, Ye Yikun underwent a remarkable transformation. His once-white hair turned black, wrinkles vanished, and he seemed to reverse in age.

“I’m about to succeed!” He laughed, looking at his smooth hand.

Meanwhile, Huangfu Ruiling remained at the Huangfu family’s residence, shrouded in an icy aura. With two days passing without any word from Ye Leng’an, his expression grew colder.

Suddenly, a sharp pain pierced his chest, a sense of urgency gripping him. He commanded Li San nearby, “Tell the Enforcement Team to go to the Ye family at once.”

Then Huangfu Ruiling vanished. Sensing Ye Leng’an’s peril, he wasted no time tearing through space to reach her side.

Arriving in Ye Yikun’s courtyard, Huangfu Ruiling spotted the huge formation with Ye Leng’an at its center. It was clear the formation was sapping her life force.

Seeing Ye Leng’an, Huangfu Ruiling’s eyes blazed with fury. He turned to Ye Yikun, his gaze icy. “Ye Yikun, you deserve to die!”

He hadn’t anticipated that Ye Yikun had taken Ye Leng’an to drain her life force. Enraged, his sole intent was to kill Ye Yikun.

Upon seeing Huangfu Ruiling’s abrupt arrival, Ye Yikun laughed instead of showing fear. “Huangfu Ruiling, do you really think you can kill me now? Sadly, you won’t succeed. This is an ancient evil god’s reverse formation. Once activated, it cannot stop until I absorb all of Ye Leng’an’s life force.”

Now, Ye Yikun wasn’t scared of Huangfu Ruiling anymore. The formation’s power prevented anyone from entering. No matter how capable, Huangfu Ruiling couldn’t do a thing.

Once the formation ended after absorbing Ye Leng’an’s full life force, his cultivation would soar. Then, he need not fear Huangfu Ruiling.

Ye Yikun got pumped just thinking about it. Despite Huangfu Ruiling’s efforts, his spiritual attacks on the formation were futile, like a drop in the ocean. Ye Leng’an wasn’t leaving Huangfu Ruiling to fight alone; she was trying to save herself. As an Ascension Stage cultivator, her powerful mental strength slowed her life force drain. Closing her eyes, she focused her mental energy on resisting.

Feeling pumped, Ye Yikun kept taunting as Huangfu Ruiling attacked the formation in vain. “Why waste your energy, Huangfu Ruiling? You won’t be able to break this formation no matter how hard you try. Is it really worth it for one woman?”

Huangfu Ruiling suddenly stopped.

Observing Huangfu Ruiling’s expression, Ye Yikun believed he had persuaded him. A strange satisfaction surged within him. “That’s right. Self-preservation comes first. I thought you were deeply in love with Ye Leng’an, but you’re also calculating. Seems like we’re cut from the same cloth – putting ourselves above all else.”
