The Most Powerful Overlord

Chapter 381: The Secret Ye Rulin Hid

"Found it?"

Everyone looked at Ye Qingtian in confusion, including Xiao Jianting and others.

"What is he looking for?"

Chou Lifei and the others questioned suspiciously.

At this moment, they realized that ever since they came in, Ye Qingtian’s attention had been elsewhere.

What exactly is he searching for?

"What’s wrong with Young Master Ye?"

Liu Zhishang asked in a low voice.

Ye Qingtian didn’t speak, yet a powerful surge of evil power burst forth, and a thundering sound of water hitting came from above them.

A vast blood-colored shadow descended, enveloping the area in an extraordinarily eerie atmosphere.

"It’s blood! It’s fresh blood!"

Someone exclaimed.

The blood hovered above, refusing to fall.

"It’s not just an illusion; it’s real blood! The Trapped Dragon Well is filled with blood."

Only then did everyone understand what was happening.

"Huh? It shouldn’t be that way. It’s clearly an illusion!"

Fang Zilong couldn’t help but say, looking at everyone else’s strange expressions.

"Then what happened just now? Why did the blood disappear?"

Chou Lifei and others were baffled.

"Let’s go, let’s enter the Blood Well!"

Ye Qingtian said.

"Alright! But let me take this sword first."

Xiao Jianting chuckled, and with a single hand motion, the Divine Wilderness Sword easily came into his possession.

Chou Lifei, Fang Zilong, and the others were completely stunned, looking at him in disbelief.

He actually succeeded?

How did he do it?

In the next moment, Ye Qingtian and his group disappeared into the Blood Well.

"Not good, these mortals have taken the Divine Wilderness Sword. We cannot let them leave!"

"Let’s follow them!"

It was only then that Chou Lifei and the others realized and quickly followed.

Meanwhile, Shen Huamo and the others hadn’t even had time to react before losing consciousness, as if plunging into water.

By the time everyone regained consciousness, they had arrived in a strange place.

"Huh? Where are the people? How did they suddenly disappear? Didn’t they just leave here?"

Fang Zilong and his group exited the Trapped Dragon Well but didn’t see Ye Qingtian or his group.

"No way! Didn’t they just leave? How could they vanish in the blink of an eye?"

Pei Junling said in confusion.

"Could they still be down there?"

Chou Lifei returned to the Trapped Dragon Well, yet still couldn’t find any trace of Ye Qingtian and the others.

"Did these people actually escape?"

Chou Lifei’s face changed dramatically.

Fleeing was one thing, but Xiao Jianting had taken the Divine Wilderness Sword.

That was their goal for this trip.

"No! We must find them! Although I don’t know how that kid retrieved the sword, we must get it back. The Divine Wilderness Sword cannot fall into a mortal’s hands."

Fang Zilong roared, turning to the members of the Spiritual Technique Family: "You must find them for me! The world has almost forgotten the Spirit Void Realm, I will let them understand the meaning of cruelty."

"Anyone who takes our treasures from the Spirit Realm Profound Sect is destined for a dead end!"

The members of the Spiritual Technique Family said, "Celestial Masters, we will find them. Didn’t they just mention? They come from the southern Flame Fire Sect! We’ll arrange some people to look for them now."

"After finding them, kill them all!"

A hint of viciousness flashed in Fang Zilong’s eyes.

Chou Lifei shook his head: "No, that young man who could take the Divine Wilderness Sword cannot be killed. The fact that he could take the Divine Wilderness Sword indicates he has extraordinary talent. This talent surpasses ours. I decided to take him back to the Spirit Realm Profound Sect, maybe there will be another peerless genius."

Pei Junling nodded: "Yes, I think so too. That person’s talent feels extremely high."

"Then, Senior Sister, what about the others? Especially another young man?"

Fang Zilong asked cautiously.

"You can do whatever with the others, but I definitely want that young man."

Chou Lifei was inclined to recruit Xiao Jianting due to his talent.

As for Ye Qingtian and the others, she wasn’t interested.

"Understood, Senior Sister."

A cold smile flashed across Fang Zilong’s lips.

...

When Shen Huamo and the others came to their senses, they found themselves in a lake, waves of coolness enveloping them.

The lake wasn’t large but was sharply distinct, half water, half blood.

"Huh? Inside a cave?"

Xiao Jianting couldn’t help saying, amazedly surveying the surroundings.

"So, the Trapped Dragon Well leads elsewhere; those people had already escaped from here. No wonder they’re so elusive, we didn’t notice at all."

Liu Zhishang was full of disbelief.

The confusion from over ten years ago was finally explained.

"Young Master Ye, how did you discover this place?"

Xiao Jianting asked.

"The source of the blood! The blood did not flow to the bottom, indicating another exit."

Ye Qingtian said calmly.

"Huh? But there wasn’t any passage along the way?"

Liu Zhishang was puzzled.

"This must be the cleverness of the Trapped Dragon Well!"

Shen Huamo realized.

Xiao Jianting frowned: "But where is this place?"

In front, Ye Qingtian had already exited the lake, standing there observing the surroundings.

"I thought we’d make a significant discovery here, but it was merely their escape route. If I’m not mistaken, we should be in the sea."

Ye Qingtian said lightly.

He had observed here for quite some time with no clues.

"I understand now! No wonder they’re so mysterious; it’s because of such a passage. But how did they discover the passage in the Trapped Dragon Well? Even we didn’t know."

Liu Zhishang was incredibly surprised.

Ye Qingtian frowned, realizing the clues stopped here.

Now Ye Qingtian gradually understood that there was a group in this world conspiring an earth-shattering plan related to him.

This matter probably relates to a big secret that Number One told him about.

It all appeared more confusing.

"Interesting."

Ye Qingtian’s lips curled into a smile.

However, Ye Qingtian set up a small array here, to discover any arrivals quickly.

Since the clues broke, the breakthrough lies in the mysterious statue Ye Qingtian transported.

Then there’s Adele; he surely thinks her probing in Tianjing may unveil something.

"Woman, you can hide, but I will find you."

Ye Qingtian sneered.

Also, concerning the Ye Family’s array curse, could it be related to the Hidden Sect?

As for the Trapped Dragon Well’s array and Divine Wilderness Sword, Ye Qingtian had no interest; they weren’t worth a second glance to him.

"Let’s leave!"

Then, Ye Qingtian led the group away.

That night, Ye Qingtian and his group secretly returned to the Ye Family’s ancestral home.

Ye Qingtian went directly to the Ye Family’s patriarch, Ye Rulin.

"You’ve come to see me because there’s something you want to know?"

Ye Rulin looked surprised.

"I’ve come to ask you about some matters concerning the Ye Family..."

Ye Qingtian said.

"Hadn’t we discussed this before?"

Ye Rulin responded.

"No, you must be hiding something."

Ye Qingtian looked at him calmly.

Ye Rulin sighed deeply: "Sigh, indeed. But what I’ve hidden is the biggest secret of the Ye Family."
