The two were completely awake, not daring to answer Chen Lan’s question.
"Tell , what did Ye Long do to you?" Chen Lan spoke calmly, adding, "Don’t worry, I also have a grudge against Ye Long, I’m looking for him just like you."
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Upon hearing this, the two were slightly taken aback, exchanging glances; Chen Lan actually has a grudge against Ye Long too?!
"Really? Why do you have a grudge against him?"
"He caused my family to be ruined, forced to wander outside, everything I had at the peak was destroyed by him, does that count as a grudge?" Chen Lan spoke calmly.
While these were all Ye Tianhai’s doing, Ye Long ungratefully enjoyed everything he had without any remorse, which was equally wrong!
Seeing no signs of lying in Chen Lan’s expression, the two were half-convinced and decided to tell their own stories.
After listening, Chen Lan was greatly shocked, never expected his brother to be so cold-blooded and heartless!
One was nad Yu Chengdong, the other Mu Beixi. They were a pair of brothers who knew each other for many years, not related by blood, but their relationship was closer than that of real brothers. After both got married, they each had children, one a daughter, and one a son.
Three thousand years ago, Yu Chengdong’s son entered a secret realm, happened to encounter Ye Long inside. Ye Long took a liking to his son’s treasure and wanted to snatch it away. Though his son complied, he still died.
The reason being, Mu Beixi’s daughter was violated by Ye Long!
Chen Lan couldn’t believe his brother was such a brute.
"Is what you said really true?" Chen Lan wanted to confirm once more.
How could he be such a beast, could these two be fabricating stories to sar Ye Long?
"It’s true, absolutely true. You know what kind of person Ye Long is." Mu Beixi nodded heavily, with a solemn expression, showing no signs of lying.
This left Chen Lan deeply shocked. He had thought Ye Long, with his Divine Bone, would look down upon others with disdain, but at least have humanity. Now it seed he lacked humanity, displaying more beast-like qualities!
"Ye Long is a notorious libertine; he loves won. Any woman he fancies hardly escapes his grasp, whether married or young, he’s indiscriminate, a beast among beasts!" Upon saying this, Yu Chengdong’s face was filled with anger, eager to kill Ye Long imdiately.
"I’ve heard a bit about Ye Long as well; what these two said is true. Currently, Ye Long’s wives and concubines seem to have exceeded a hundred." Li Chunqiu, who had been silent, spoke calmly.
Exceeding a hundred!
Chen Lan, a young man still bearing Blue Star’s ideas, was greatly shaken, but quickly rembered that the Desolate Celestial Realm was different from Blue Star. There was no monogamy there; he himself had two Dao companions, which made sense upon consideration.
"That information is old, it’s now exceeded ten thousand; countless won in the Desolate Celestial Realm have been hard by him." Mu Beixi spoke coldly.
Exceeding ten thousand!
Chen Lan slightly frowned, surprised to learn his brother was such a person.
"It’s said all of this is caused by the Divine Bone, that it seems to intensify his lust and desires," Yu Chengdong stated.
"Nonsense!" A young girl, who hadn’t spoken before, suddenly rebutted, "Why is Ye Lan fine then? He was the first to possess a Divine Bone, and I’ve never seen him act like a beast."
Upon hearing this, a slight smile appeared on Chen Lan’s lips. Was the girl standing up for him?
"That’s true. Anyway, that Ye Long is truly beastly, not only do we seek revenge, but many others do as well," Mu Beixi added.
"Oh? You say many others?" Chen Lan imdiately caught on to the important point and asked.
If there were many others, perhaps they could join forces to form so kind of avengers’ alliance; that way when attacking the Ye Family, they wouldn’t be alone.
He knew clearly that by himself, he couldn’t overthrow the Ye Family, nor kill Ye Tianhai and Ye Long, so he needed to build a force, and now might be a good ti.
"Indeed, there are a lot of people in the Desolate Celestial Realm who hold a grudge against Ye Long. We’ve been searching for Ye Long for three thousand years and t many people, over ten thousand, all of whom have grudges against Ye Long or the Ye Family. If it weren’t for the Ye Family’s heyday, and our numbers being insufficient, we would have toppled them long ago," Yu Chengdong nodded.
"Among these people, what are the highest levels of cultivation?"
"Taoist Saints, we have three Taoist Saints, plus us two, that’s five!"
Five Taoist Saints! This slightly delighted Chen Lan, yet puzzled him: "Over ten thousand people, plus five Taoist Saints, should make for a very formidable force, right?"
"You wouldn’t understand; Ye Long, with his Divine Bone, can battle three at once. In his eyes, three Taoist Saints are insignificant."
Chen Lan thought about it and agreed; having a Divine Bone himself, he knew it was indeed formidable, facing the two n without fear.
"You’ve witnessed my skills. If you let beco your leader, to overthrow the Ye Family together when the ti cos, what do you think?" Chen Lan volunteered himself to lead the group, intending to organize an attack on the Ye Family with them!
Upon hearing this, the two exchanged glances, pondering. Chen Lan’s abilities were indeed strong, having injured Mu Beixi with just one move, which was quite formidable among Taoist Saints.
But what they were about to face was the Taoist Saint Ye Long, who possessed a Divine Bone, with power that could rival a Dao Emperor, a formidable challenge!
"Well, we need to discuss this with the others."
"Oh? How do you communicate?" Chen Lan asked.
Yu Chengdong took out a glass box from his Storage Ring, inside was a dimly lit blue butterfly, fluttering its wings, gorgeously delicate.
"Spirit Butterfly, a creature living in the Netherworld, has no cultivation, yet seemingly immortal, found everywhere in the Netherworld. Its only function is communication, ignoring distance, and the user must drop his Essence Blood. By focusing on the desired person’s na and appearance, it can connect souls, passing ssages, incredibly marvelous." Li Chunqiu recognized it imdiately and explained to Chen Lan.
Chen Lan’s eyes lit up, amazed by such a magical creature.
"Indeed, this is a Spirit Butterfly. We usually communicate through it; you could catch one in the Netherworld," Yu Chengdong laughed.
"Fortunately, the Underworld is right in the Netherworld," Li Chunqiu added.
Chen Lan laughed, "That’s just perfect," nodding. "Alright, I’ll catch one then."
"Unfortunately, the Spirit-Connected Butterfly Empress disappeared millions of years ago; it’s said her body could endow Soul Artifacts, surpassing all Magical Treasures, becoming a supre Soul Treasure. If you encounter her, maybe try catching her, she has no cultivation, but is indestructible."
