Chapter 2479 - 2468: Long Time No See, Kid
Without much delay.After Wu Yuexin told Ye Chenfeng the approximate location where Wu Chengyan was in seclusion,
Ye Chenfeng left the valley.
After leaving the valley, Old Bai and Old Hei once again drifted out from the Soul Hosting Bracelet. They waved their arms simultaneously, and the previously opened passage sealed itself up again.
Before exiting the valley,
Old Bai and Old Hei silently infused a bit of their power into Wu Yuexin’s body.
Although Wu Yuexin wouldn’t face any danger in the short term, what if an unexpected incident occurred?
Thus,
The power they injected was just a precaution. If Wu Yuexin encountered a life-threatening situation, the power of Old Bai and Old Hei would erupt from her body.
Following the direction Wu Yuexin provided,
Ye Chenfeng quickly traversed the back mountain of the Wus’ headquarters, breaking through all encountered formations with ease.
Soon,
Ye Chenfeng reached the deepest part of the back mountain.
There, he saw a massive stone house constructed in the deepest area.
The door of the stone house was tightly shut, and everything around was eerily quiet, indicating that Wu Chengyan was likely in hibernation inside.
Around the stone house, numerous hidden formations and mechanisms lay in wait, which even a master of formations would struggle to dismantle.
But fortunately, Old Bai Wu Fengxian was present.
The formations and mechanisms around the stone house were all treasures preserved from the past by the Wus, so Old Bai was intimately familiar with them, knowing exactly where the weak spots were.
With Old Bai Wu Fengxian’s guidance,
Ye Chenfeng rapidly broke through the formations and mechanisms surrounding the stone house, advancing step by step ever closer.
Upon reaching the door of the stone house,
The two heavy doors stood upright. Ye Chenfeng placed his palm on the door, roughly estimating that the doors required a considerable amount of strength, at least a Peak of the Divine Venerable Realm expert, to push open.
"Who dares to disturb this old man’s rest? To be able to break through the surrounding formations, I do not recall there being anyone skilled in formations within the Wus."
A hoarse voice came from beyond the stone doors.
Slowly, the two heavy stone doors began to open on their own.
After the stone doors opened,
Ye Chenfeng stepped directly inside, assured of safety with Old Bai and Old Hei present.
Slowly making his way into the stone house,
Upon reaching the innermost part of the stone house, he saw an old man seated cross-legged. The old man’s hair was entirely white, his aura strong yet appeared somewhat frail.
This was the highest-ranking ancestor of the Wus, Wu Chengyan, whose strength was at the grand peak of the Divine Venerable Realm. Due to his nearing the end of his lifespan, he appeared slightly weak.
The cross-legged Wu Chengyan abruptly opened his eyes, unleashing a terrifying might from his gaze: "Who are you?"
Old Bai Wu Fengxian did not immediately show himself.
Ye Chenfeng tossed Wu Yuexin’s Jade Pendant to Wu Chengyan and briefly explained the situation with Wu Tianfu trapping Wu Yuexin.
Wu Chengyan looked at the Jade Pendant in his hand, his face flashing with complex emotions, and murmured to himself: "This day has finally come, why can’t they turn back? They all bear the blood of the Wus, it’s not clear who will manage the Wus after I’m gone."
It seemed Wu Chengyan was aware of some matters concerning Wu Tianfu, hoping he would change for the better, but that moment never arrived.
Focusing once more on Ye Chenfeng, Wu Chengyan said: "Young man, it seems you aren’t from the Wus, if we had someone like you, I would have known."
"What is your purpose in coming to my Wus? To move freely through our back mountain, you surely aren’t simple!"
Ye Chenfeng replied: "Is now really the time to discuss my identity? With Wu Tianfu harboring malicious intent, shouldn’t you be thinking of a countermeasure?"
"There might be someone behind Wu Tianfu, we can’t alert them yet, but you should prepare yourself."
Hearing Ye Chenfeng’s almost commanding tone, a trace of displeasure flashed across Wu Chengyan’s face. As the highest-ranking ancestor of the Wus, who dared speak to him like this?
Wu Chengyan’s aura surged: "Boy, aren’t you meddling too much? Since Yuexin trusted you to bring this message, it at least shows you’re acquainted."
"I don’t want to make things difficult for you, but internal matters of our Wus aren’t for outsiders. Stay here in my place of seclusion for a time, won’t you?"
Wu Chengyan spoke blandly, almost as if deciding for Ye Chenfeng.
Old Bai and Old Hei in the Soul Hosting Bracelet clearly overheard the conversation. Old Hei Jiang Yuntian remarked: "Old Bai, it seems your Wu descendant wants to hold onto this kid?"
Old Bai Wu Fengxian, who had not shown himself, waited to see Wu Chengyan’s actions, feeling somewhat dissatisfied now.
Ye Chenfeng looked at Wu Chengyan and said: "What if I refuse?"
Wu Chengyan replied calmly: "You can’t refuse; do you think you can leave here without my consent?"
Wu Chengyan was nearing the end of his time.
His senses had weakened considerably, so under Old Bai and Old Hei’s concealment, he didn’t perceive Ye Chenfeng’s true power, merely assuming it to be late stage Earth God Realm strength.
Wu Chengyan extended his palm towards Ye Chenfeng: "Young man, stay for a while. At the right time, this old man will give you an opportunity."
Wu Chengyan bore no malice towards Ye Chenfeng, only intending to have him remain a while.
A massive phantom hand moved toward Ye Chenfeng to temporarily restrain his movements.
As the phantom hand reached Ye Chenfeng,
Old Bai Wu Fengxian unleashed his Extreme Peak power from the Soul Hosting Bracelet.
With a "bang!"
The massive phantom hand immediately dissipated in the air.
Following this,
Old Bai Wu Fengxian’s figure drifted out from the Soul Hosting Bracelet.
After the phantom hand dissolved, Wu Chengyan’s expression transformed, and seeing Old Bai Wu Fengxian, his body instantly froze.
In the past, when Old Bai was alive,
Wu Chengyan was just a little boy of four or five, but he witnessed Wu Fengxian at his peak, and saw the Wus at their most glorious, leaving a deep impression of Wu Fengxian, recognizing him at first glance despite the years.
Wu Chengyan stared stupefied at Wu Fengxian.
Wu Fengxian also displayed a hint of nostalgia, his voice prolonged: "Long time no see, little boy."
