Chapter 219: My Child Is Either Extremely Lucky or Unlucky

Outside the hall.

Three figures appeared.

Changming and Bailian both appeared.

“Changming, Bailian, why are you two back again? Didn’t Senior Brother Xinghe tell you to go back?”

Someone asked curiously.

However, at this moment, Ye Xinghe appeared in front of them and extended his right hand in a bid to hint them to stay silent.

The reason being, there were more than two figures outside the main hall.

There were three.

Ye Xinghe and the others immediately kept quiet and stared at the space outside the main hall, seemingly rather nervous.

Changming and Bailian were shivering.

As soon as they walked out, they saw someone.

It was an old man.

At this moment, he was standing quietly outside the main hall like a ghost, making them feel flustered and uneasy.

“Senior!”

“We didn’t intend to barge in, please forgive us, Senior.”

“We are the inspectors of the Heavenly Supervisory. My master is Ouyang Yuanxiu, please forgive us on his account.”

Ye Xinghe revealed his master’s identity.

He was afraid that he wouldn’t have the chance to say it, so he said it earlier to avoid causing any unnecessary misunderstanding.

“Hah!”

An indifferent laughter filled the ears of Ye Xinghe and the rest, giving them the creeps.

The old man did not say anything but his voice made them feel somewhat scared.

“Senior, please forgive me. If you’re not willing to let us know, we are willing to destroy our own memories.”

Ye Xinghe continued.

He was even willing to self-destruct his memories. All he wanted was for the old man to let him off.

However, the old man stood silently.

His hair was messy and unkempt.

He looked like he was about to slip into Qi Deviation from practicing heretical techniques. Some people seemed like they were neither human nor ghost but that was also the reason that they seemed terrifying.

The old man silently stood with a calm gaze in his eyes.

He did not have any killing intent or a cold gaze. Instead, his gaze was very calm.

However, the calmer he seemed, the more uneasy Ye Xinghe and the others felt.

“Don’t be afraid.”

The old man spoke and slowly walked towards them before turning to look at Ye Xinghe.

“Don’t be nervous guys, I won’t kill you.”

“Good. The Heavenly Supervisory has indeed recruited quite a few elite soldiers over the years.”

His words made everyone slightly more at ease.

“Thank you, Senior.”

Ye Xinghe did not relax at all. In fact, he got even more nervous.

If the other party didn’t want to kill them, they probably had a hidden agenda, but no matter what, it was better than getting killed.

“Help me do something and I promise that I’ll not only kill you but also give you a creation. How does that sound?”

His tone was extremely calm.

While he was speaking, he raised his arm and the phantoms of the five sacred beasts appeared.

It was the blood of the sacred beasts.

At this moment, even Ye Xinghe could not help but seem astonished, let alone the others.

The blood of five sacred beasts was rare and they didn’t expect the old man in front of them to have such an item.

However, he wasn’t in the least bit happy at all. Instead, his heart got heavier.

“Senior, what’s the matter?”

“If it is something that is against the Heavenly Supervisory, I won’t do it even if I have to die.”

Ye Xinghe did not know what the elder wanted him to do, but he had a hunch that it was definitely not a trivial matter.

If it was a trivial matter, how could they possibly offer the blood of the sacred beasts as the reward?

“Don’t worry.”

The old man shook his head again and said, “I don’t have any animosity against the Heavenly Dao nor will I make you do anything that goes against the Heavenly Supervisory.”

“I want you to help me find someone.”

The elder said.

‘Find someone?’

This time, everyone was curious because they really didn’t know that the elder had looked for them only for the sake of finding a person.

Logically speaking, finding someone should be easy given the realm that he was in.

“Senior, who do you want us to find?”

Ye Xinghe asked.

However, the elder did not answer right away. Instead, he looked at the altar that was not far away.

“You should have guessed it, right?”

His words made Ye Xinghe silent.

The others did not understand what he meant but Ye Xinghe did.

“Senior, since you have the sacred blood, you must be the one who created this altar, right?”

“If I guessed correctly, you should be an elder of the Supreme Demon Hall, right?”

Ye Xinghe revealed his conjecture.

As soon as he said that, the latter nodded in satisfaction. “You’re quite smart.”

“In that case, I’ll stop keeping you in suspense.”

“It was about 1,400 years ago.”

“My wife became pregnant with my child. You guys should know that at my realm, it is almost impossible for me to have children.”

“Unfortunately, I had too many enemies and they did not dare to come after me but they targeted my wife instead. For the sake of protecting my child, she would rather let herself fall.”

“Unfortunately, the Dao of my unborn fetus was hurt and he died in her womb.”

“In order to keep him alive, I injected his essence blood into the god egg and irrigated it with the blood of the five sacred beasts.”

The elder told his story.

Everyone stayed silent but they did not dare to resist. They simply listened patiently while gaining enlightenment. They also understood the cause and effect.

“Fortunately, everything has been completed and the egg has bred a new life.”

“However, just twenty-five years ago, my enemies came looking for me. They didn’t know what I was doing so I left this place, lest they discovered me.”

“Unfortunately, less than half a year after I left, my child was born and it led to some phenomena. Two fools appeared in Qingzhou and thought that it was some treasure.”

“They vied with each other for it and broke many mountain ranges. They even caused my child to disappear.”

At this point, the old man’s gaze immediately turned bloodshot and his eyes were full of anger.

Ye Xinghe and the others shuddered in fear that came from within their hearts.

They were scared but they didn’t dare to speak and could only listen quietly.

“What happened afterwards?”

After a while, Ye Xinghe waited until the old man had calmed down a little before asking the question.

“I came back and found that my child was missing. I wasn’t even aware if it was a boy or a girl.”

“As for those two guys, I destroyed their sect and everyone died at my hands, but so what? My child is still missing.”

“What do you guys think of my approach?”

The old man explained everything in a calm tone.

He made it sound as if a massacre was an ordinary thing.

At the same time, he looked at Ye Xinghe and the others.

“These two should indeed die.”

“They got greedy for wealth, they did deserve to die.”

The rest of the people spoke up and answered the old man’s question.

However, as soon as they did, the old man couldn’t help but sneer, “You orthodox cultivators are really hypocritical.”

Upon hearing his words, everyone immediately seemed awkward but there was nothing they could say or retort.

“Senior, do you want us to find your child?”

Ye Xinghe asked.

“Yes, with the invincible means of the Heavenly Supervisory, it shouldn’t be hard to investigate.”

The old man nodded and answered Ye Xinghe’s question.

However, Ye Xinghe was immediately a little curious.

“Senior, since you are a powerhouse of the Supreme Demon Hall, it shouldn’t be hard for you to find someone. Why are you asking us for help?”

That was what Ye Xinghe was bewildered about.

Logically speaking, the Supreme Demon Hall was one of the strongest few forces of this world. Although there hadn’t been many happening events in the Supreme Demon Hall in recent years, it was undeniably powerful.

Although it was inferior to the Heavenly Supervisory, it was not too far behind.

Shouldn’t they be able to carry out investigations easily?

“No! No! No!”

The old man shook his head and answered.

“I was exactly like what you thought in the beginning, but unfortunately, they thought I was getting old and refused to listen or obey my orders.”

“You are a disciple of the Heavenly Supervisory. You should know that there seemed to be no changes in the Supreme Demon Hall, right?”

The old man said.

“Yes.”

Ye Xinghe nodded. In recent years, except for the sudden surge in the strength of the Fiendcelestial Cult, there hadn’t been many happening events in the Supreme Demon Hall. The Heavenly Supervisory was very curious too but they couldn’t find any news.

“Do you know why?”

The old man asked calmly.

Ye Xinghe was immediately stunned.

He understood the reason right away.

The old man did not answer in detail and instead looked at Ye Xinghe.

“You seem like a smart person. Apart from you, I don’t want anyone else to find out about this. I’ve been unbeatable all my life because I don’t have any weaknesses. My child is my only weakness.”

“My child is the only person I care about. I want to find my child even if it means that I have to forgo the Immortal Ascension.”

“However, I don’t want others to find out, else my child will never be safe.”

“That’s the reason I looked for you. Do you understand?”

The old man had almost said everything that there was to say at this point.

The rest would be up to Ye Xinghe.

“But we heard it too.”

Ye Xinghe’s disciples couldn’t help but interject.

However, in the next moment, the old man waved his hand and they immediately fell to the ground.

However, Ye Xinghe didn’t get nervous. He could immediately sense that they had merely fainted and were not dead.

“I’ve already erased their memories. Young man, are you willing to help me, a lonely man?”

The old man asked calmly while looking at Ye Xinghe.

“If it’s just to find someone, I’m naturally willing to.”

Ye Xinghe gave his answer.

“Yes, I’ll thank you first then. However, there are a few things that I have to make clear.”

“Don’t think I’m being naggy.”

He said slowly before continuing immediately afterwards.

“Don’t tell anyone else about this matter. Not a single person is to find out.”

“I can guarantee that the Heavenly Supervisory won’t be able to protect you, and they might even have to pay the price for this if you let your tongue slip. I’ll make your friends and your loved ones feel what it’s like to be in a living hell.”

“Do you understand?”

The old man’s voice was calm, but Ye Xinghe knew that he meant what he said.

“I understand.”

Ye Ping nodded.

“Yes, one more thing, if you find my child, don’t make a fuss about it yet. You just have to light up this treasure talisman and I will appear beside you.”

“Of course, if my child is harmed in the slightest, I’ll do what I just said too. So, don’t you have any improper thoughts.”

At this point, a drop of the blood of the five sacred beasts appeared in his hand.

In the next moment, it appeared in Ye Xinghe’s hand.

“This is the deposit. If you find my child, I’ll give you the complete thing. Such a thing is very valuable to you.”

The elder said.

He was rather generous too as he simply gave a drop of blood of the five sacred beasts to Ye Xinghe as a deposit.

“Thank you, Senior.”

Ye Xinghe was a little excited. The blood of the five sacred beasts was indeed very important to him because it was essential for the cultivation technique that he used.

“Okay, go.”

The old man nodded and then turned around to leave.

However, at this moment, Ye Xinghe couldn’t help but speak.

“Senior, I’d like to ask if your child has any special characteristics. If there are none, it’d be difficult to find him. There are 70 million cultivators in Qingzhou and countless ordinary people. It’s just like finding a needle in a haystack.”

Ye Xinghe asked.

After all, he needed some clues too.

If there were no clues at all, how could he find it?

If he searched one by one, he might never be able to find him in a thousand years.

“Special characteristics?”

The old man stayed silent for a while as he pondered carefully.

He then gave him an answer.

“I’ve never seen this child before and I’m indeed unclear what special characteristics there are.”

“However, my child was conceived from a divine egg, so he or she must have a unique characteristic.”

“My child should either be incredibly lucky or extremely unfortunate.”

The old man revealed the only characteristic.

His words made Ye Xinghe even more curious.

‘Your child should either be incredibly lucky or extremely unfortunate?’

‘That seems… very strange.’

“Okay, if you’ve found my child, remember to contact me.”

The old man left after saying that.

He disappeared right on the spot.

Ye Xinghe was left standing alone on top of the altar.

After a long time, Ye Xinghe waved his hand and took those disciples away from that place.

At the same time, within the territory of the northern state of Jin Nation.

In the depths of the mountain.

Chen Lingrou watched everything in bewilderment.

She had just parted ways with Lin Bei and Xue Zhuan.

After walking for a short while, she discovered a ruins and thought that there was some treasure there.

In the end, as soon as she entered, she discovered that there was a Teleportation Array in the ruins.

What made her feel even more confused was that as soon as she opened her eyes, she realized that she was in a lair.

The lair didn’t seem to be abandoned.

While Chen Lingrou was full of doubts…

At the next moment, a leopard with turquoise eyes appeared in front of her and walked towards the entrance of the nest.

“It’s a Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard.”

Chen Lingrou froze right on the spot.

She could tell at a glance what kind of demonic beast it was.

It was an extremely rare demonic beast that was rumored to have been born from a Qilin and a leopard. It had the bloodline of the Qilin.

“Where exactly is this?”

‘Why are there such demonic beasts?’

Chen Lingrou stayed silent.
