Chapter 4161: Chapter 4161: Furious! The Hunt! (Six Updates)

”What explanation?”

Qiao Lan looked confused, staring at Qing Wanji in surprise: ”I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

”Humph, you’re my daughter, I know you best!”

Qing Wanji was furious, not expecting Qiao Lan to still pretend ignorance even after he had discovered the evidence.

”You set Chen Ye free and helped him erase the traces, what exactly is the reason!”

Qing Wanji glared at Qiao Lan, scolding loudly: ”You must know, you are my daughter, part of the Dead Spirit Hall, why would you help someone like Chen Ye with ulterior motives!”

Realizing Qing Wanji had discovered everything she did, Qiao Lan stopped pretending and looked directly at Qing Wanji with unwavering determination.

”Father, you should also see that Chen Ye’s identity is not simple, and his talent is extraordinary. We stopped him from obtaining the Bloodline Origin merely to restrict him.”

”I believe Chen Ye’s future is limitless, and by letting him go today, the karma may become a hope for the future.”

Tears shone in Qiao Lan’s eyes: ”Father, I know the burdens you carry, how heavy they are. I hope to find someone who can help share your burden.”

”Chen Ye doesn’t seem to be an ungrateful person. He will repay today’s favor in the future and may find you a companion to fight alongside.”

Hearing this, Qing Wanji was stunned. He didn’t expect Qiao Lan to think so far ahead and consider him, deliberately letting Chen Ye go.

Looking at Qiao Lan, Qing Wanji’s expression was complex as he shook his head, ”Silly child, you’re thinking too simply. Human nature is complex, who knows what kind of person Chen Ye really is.”

Despite saying this, Qing Wanji had already forgiven Qiao Lan, considering her actions were for his sake.

As for letting Chen Ye go, Qing Wanji didn’t care what reaction Xuan Jiyue would have.

While Qing Wanji remained undisclosed and protected by higher-ups, Xuan Jiyue wouldn’t dare do anything to him.

As Qing Wanji was contemplating, the Emperor’s Aura roared from the sky above, endless Great Power turning the sky into a vortex as whistling gales swept across, destroying mountains.

Within the vortex, a figure emitting a chilling aura took steps from the sky above, walking on air towards them.

”Qing Wanji! Where is the Bloodline Origin!”

The newcomer was Xuan Jiyue, whose True Body had descended to question the matter of the Bloodline Origin, as she had already sensed its absence from the hall, clearly taken by someone.

”It was my oversight, letting someone trivial steal the Bloodline Origin.”

Qing Wanji looked directly at Xuan Jiyue, shook his head slightly in shame, and told her about the situation with Chen Ye.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Jiyue’s murderous intent surged wildly. After suppressing the Bloodline Origin in the Dead Spirit Hall and paying such a high price, it turned out a complete loss, her plans all failing, causing her immense anger.

”This is the mistake of the Dead Spirit Hall, and it’s your mistake, Qing Wanji!”

Xuan Jiyue coldly looked at Qing Wanji, ”Today you must give me an explanation!”

”Explanation?”

Qing Wanji looked at Xuan Jiyue and shook his head, ”It’s the uselessness of what you entrusted to me. Chen Ye infused Spiritual energy into it but couldn’t uncover anything. That’s not my fault.”

”The Bloodline Origin being stolen not only resulted in your loss but also mine. You shouldn’t be asking me for an explanation but should demand one from Chen Ye.”

Hearing this, Xuan Jiyue’s face grew colder, and her Emperor’s Aura enveloped the Dead Spirit Hall. The oppressive force made many assassins’ faces change drastically, causing them to kneel involuntarily.

”What do you want to do?”

Qing Wanji noticed the scene, his expression also cooled as he questioned Xuan Jiyue sharply.

”Bring everyone from the Dead Spirit Hall who has been in contact with Chen Ye here for me!”

Xuan Jiyue shouted angrily.

Upon hearing this, Qing Wanji’s gaze flickered as he glanced at Qiao Lan but gestured for the assassins to follow Xuan Jiyue’s orders.

After all, Xuan Jiyue’s requirement wasn’t excessive. Anyone who had contact with Chen Ye was a suspect.

Firstly, Xuan Jiyue questioned the remaining Heaven Grade killers from the Dead Spirit Hall. They were with Ye Chen guarding the Bloodline Origin at the time.

However, these Heaven Grade killers had never spoken to Ye Chen; only fought alongside Ji Siqing. Upon questioning, they couldn’t notice anything suspicious.

Based on the descriptions of Ji Siqing from the Heaven Grade killers, Xuan Jiyue vaguely suspected Ji Siqing’s identity, becoming more certain of Chen Ye’s suspiciousness.

Xuan Jiyue interrogated each killer, eventually coming before Qiao Lan.

Ye Chen was personally introduced to Qing Wanji by Qiao Lan, who had also saved Qiao Lan’s life. Their interactions were the most frequent in the Dead Spirit Hall, leading Xuan Jiyue to meticulously question Qiao Lan.

At this moment, facing Xuan Jiyue, Qiao Lan was a bit uneasy but had to portray extreme calmness, not revealing anything.

Xuan Jiyue asked many questions, to which Qiao Lan responded flawlessly, without any issues.

Just when Qiao Lan thought she had almost deceived her way through, Xuan Jiyue suddenly asked, ”When Chen Ye left, what were you doing, didn’t you see him?”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Lan was momentarily stunned. Feeling the oppressive gaze of Xuan Jiyue, she sensed her mind being drawn into an endless vortex, her consciousness becoming somewhat blurred.

”I, I...”

”Cough!”

Qing Wanji suddenly coughed lightly.

Qiao Lan’s blurry consciousness suddenly cleared, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and she said to Xuan Jiyue, ”When Chen Ye left, I was still in my room and didn’t see him.”

Hearing this, Xuan Jiyue looked deeply at Qing Wanji, vaguely sensing something but couldn’t tear her relationship due to Qing Wanji’s backing from the Heavenly Human Domain.

”Humph, notify immediately, block Chen Ye throughout the Upper Realm and Outer Realm. If seen, kill without mercy!”

With this statement, the Dead Spirit Hall was shaken, every eye staring at Xuan Jiyue in shock, not expecting her to directly issue such a terrifying block.

Unfortunately, everyone present was unaware that Chen Ye was merely Ye Chen’s alias, even his appearance was a disguise.

Blocking Chen Ye couldn’t possibly succeed, as he had already disappeared, transforming into Ye Chen.

...

Walking beside a mighty long river, Ye Chen looked deeply toward the Dead Spirit Hall’s direction, now ten thousand and eighty thousand miles away, completely free from danger.

”Phew...”

Ye Chen exhaled a breath of Dense Energy, thankful to Qiao Lan for letting him go; otherwise, if she had delayed even a little longer, he wouldn’t have escaped from Qing Wanji’s grasp.

Touching the Bloodline Origin on him, excitement gleamed in Ye Chen’s eyes. With the Bloodline Origin, Little Gold could fully awaken as the Double-eyed Nightmare, and his power would significantly increase.

Currently, Little Gold was guarding the Divine Kingdom, prompting Ye Chen to head there as well, considering he hadn’t visited for some time and should see old friends in the Divine Kingdom.

But before that, Ye Chen had two other matters to attend to!

First, bid farewell to some old friends to ensure their safety! Second, refine his own Freedom Heaven!!!
