Chapter 112: Four-Way Talks (Second Update)

  Cloud Rain Temple

  At this time, there were four people sitting in the main hall. Yi Ba Tian and Yi Yun sat at the top, while Yi Chi and Yi Zai Tian sat on either side.

  After sitting down, Yi Ba Tian spoke first: "Alright, let's not mention anything else for now. Yi Chi, you tell me, how did you manage to follow us? I really didn't notice you at all."

  Yi Chi smiled and said calmly, "Nothing much, you guys always leave some marks when you pass by, I won't follow too closely, just follow the marks you left behind, keeping a distance from you, so naturally, you wouldn't notice."

  After a pause, Yi Chi said: "It's those people, I didn't even notice them, they're the ones who are really good at tailing!" At this point, Yi Chi also felt a bit embarrassed. He had used high-tech products to track someone, but hadn't noticed that others were doing the same thing to him. It was truly a failure.

  Yi Ba Tian nodded heavily and said, "Not bad, with so many people following us, I didn't notice at all, it's a bit strange. They must have some treasure that can hide their breath and footsteps."

  At this time, Yi Yun also spoke up: "It's definitely true, Grandfather, you know that they all have backers behind them and will have some treasures that we don't know about. This isn't surprising. The key now is the selection of people to enter in a year's time. In any case, Chi Er must be one of those who enters. As long as he gets in, then even if we can't say that all the treasures inside the ruins will fall into our Yi family's hands, at least 80% or more will!"

  This time, Yi Ba Tian and Yi Zai Tian were shocked again. They did not expect that Yi Yun's evaluation of Yi Chi would be so high.

  "So, how is it? Is this kid really that formidable?"

  After finishing speaking, he looked at Yi Chi with an expression of disbelief, making Yi Chi feel a wave of annoyance, as if he had been underestimated.

  ......

  In the guest hall, Yi Ba Tian Zheng looked at Yi Chi with a suspicious face, and at this time, Yi Yun gave an explanation.

  He smiled and said, "Grandfather, don't underestimate Chi Er. I've compared notes with him before, so I'm naturally clear about his abilities. To say nothing of others, even I myself don't have complete confidence in being able to take him down. As for ordinary Dou Ling, they're even less likely to be a match for Chi Er, let alone a group of Dou Shi!"

  After hearing Yi Yun say this, Yi Ba Tian and Yi Zai Tian were even more shocked. Someone was able to cross so many levels and defeat their opponent? Directly from a three-star Doushi to a Douling-level, not to mention the difference in Dou Qi, just in terms of Dou technique application, the two were vastly different. A three-star Doushi wanting to defeat a Douling, even if it was only a one-star Douling, was impossible, but this impossible thing had appeared before their eyes.

  If someone else had said this, the two would not have believed it at all. But since it was Yi Yun who said it, no one knew Yi Yun better than these two people did. He wasn't someone who would exaggerate or brag about such things. So, did that little kid Yi Feng really have such abilities?

  Even a Dou Zong-level master like Yi Ba Tian couldn't figure out what Yi Chi was relying on, and how he would know that someone could grasp so many high-end fighting skills and some unbelievable techniques at the Three-Star Dou Shi level!

  Can't think of a reason why Yi Ba is really wanting to ask Yi Chi, but looking at his expression, probably won't say anything.

  "This little scoundrel, full of nonsense, asking him is no better than thinking for oneself. Yi Batian has seen through Yi Chi's true nature - this guy doesn't have a single truthful word, what with relying on clues to track them down, they're completely clueless, if they were capable of leaving clues then Yi Batian's three characters could be written in reverse, he simply doesn't want to tell the truth. Unfortunately, he really has no way to deal with Yi Chi - after all, they're his own kin, his own great-grandson, what can he do? Should he hang him up and beat him?"

  He could not help it, so Yi Ba Tian had no choice but to swallow all his doubts and let them rot inside him.

  After figuring out Yi Chi's strength, the three of them no longer worried about how much treasure they would get from the ruins. What they needed to do now was to keep Yi Chi's true strength a secret, so that they could let him enter the ruins; otherwise, the other three families wouldn't agree to let such a dangerous person in.

  Then, after chatting about some irrelevant things, Yi Chi got up and left Yunyu Courtyard. The subsequent negotiations had nothing to do with him, nor did he need to attend. He just needed to wait until a year later when entering the ruins would be fine. At that time, what could be obtained and what needed to be handed over were still his call, who else could know what he really got?

  ......

  "Perhaps there will be divine status in those ruins."

  This sentence alone raised Yi Chi's interest in the relic to its highest point.

  What is divinity? Divinity is the life of a god, without divinity, that god is no longer a god. Divinity is the source of power for a god, if it's gone, then that god is either dead or about to die, there is no third option.

  In Yichi's eyes, this divine aura was a prerequisite for him to further enhance his strength and future development. Without it, he couldn't exchange for some good things, without it, he couldn't exchange for those tempting bloodlines.

  Not to mention anything else, even if it's just for the sake of being able to exchange a bloodline earlier, Yi Chi has to fight with all his might.

  So after Yi Tang said this sentence, Yi Chi really got excited, just like when he first obtained the exchange space.

  Of course, Yi Chi couldn't be certain that the ruins of the Dou Shen would definitely have a divine aura. After all, this divine aura would only be left behind after a god's death. The appearance of one divine aura means the fall of one true god. Those half-gods' divine auras are just semi-finished products and can't be compared to those of true gods. Even if a pseudo-god has a divine country, before experiencing the second cleansing of the world's power, his divine aura is only considered a pseudo-divine aura and not a real one. In other words, what people call divine aura are actually left behind by true gods after their death, rather than those half-gods or pseudo-gods' leftovers.

  Yi Chi didn't need much either. After learning that the relic might have divine properties, he checked out the exchange prices related to bloodlines.

  And those prices, did not exceed Yi Chi's expectations, even the highest-level bloodline, at its initial exchange, would not require a divine grade, that is, it would not directly ask for a first-order energy gemstone, what it required was only a first-order energy gemstone fragment, and those half-divine divine grades were exactly usable as fragments, all of which were absolutely true and would not be fake, learned from Yi Tang.

  Having figured out the situation, Yi Chi felt at ease. Even if there was no true godly aura in those ruins, there must be a semi-godly aura! As long as it existed, that was all that mattered. What Yi Chi needed was precisely that; everything else paled in comparison to godly aura.

  ......

  After temporarily putting down the matter of the ruins, Yi Chi returned to Jinghe Institute and continued to cultivate as usual. On the other hand, Yi Yun and others found the people from the other three families on the second day to discuss the candidates for entering the ruins a year later.

  This time, it was still in Yi Jia for business discussions, while the other three families only had three Taishang elders and three accompanying family masters, with no one else present.

  In the main hall of Yi's residence, after everyone took their seats in order and exchanged some pleasantries, they directly got down to business.

  As for the matter of personnel, Yi Yun was particularly concerned, after all, this concerns the family's vested interests and cannot help but make him care, so this time he still spoke up first.

  After glancing around at the crowd, Yi Ba Tian nodded slightly and Yi Yun slowly said: "Regarding the selection of people to enter the ruins a year later, I think we should set a quota. I feel that ten people is the most appropriate number. Moreover, our Yi family will take five spots, and the remaining five spots can be given to you all. What do you think?"

  Yi Yun opened his mouth and asked for five places, of course, this is still negotiable, I think the other three families will not agree with this point either.

  As expected——

  Chen Yong immediately said, "No way, I don't oppose ten quotas, but you Yi family wants to take half which is not acceptable. Our four families should divide it equally. I think we three families, each contribute two, a total of six, and none of them can be nine-star masters, this way, it's fair."

  Chen Yong opened his mouth and immediately made Yi Ba Tian angry, who furiously shouted: "Fair? You call this fair? This relic was discovered by us, the key is in our hands, and now you're taking advantage of it. What are you talking about fairness?"

  This time, Yi Ba Tian was really furious. These three people were simply too much, not only did they take the quota, but also made things difficult for him everywhere, as if his family was easy to bully? They had been pushed to the limit, and in the end, no one would have to go in, he would just destroy that key directly.

  Being yelled at by Yi Ba Tian like that, Chen Yong couldn't say anything back either. After all, what he said was the truth, and there was nothing good for him to refute with.
