Rebirth: City Sovereign

All the silver needles were ejected out, emitting a clear metallic sound. Ye Yanyun heard it, and immediately turned her head to look.    

Ah!    

Ye Kai slightly raised his hand, pinched out a strand of undetectable spirit energy, and with a snap of his fingers, smashed his finger into the Sword Sect disciple's chest.    

After being hit by Ye Kai's attack, the Sword Sect disciple immediately let out a miserable groan, and was sent flying, crashing into a wall at the side.    

Ye Kai flicked his finger once more, and the spirit energy drilled into the disciple's clothes, as countless of venomous silver needles instantly fell out of his sleeves.    

When the rest of the Sword Sect saw this bizarre scene, all of them opened their mouths wide as if their jaws were dislocated, and their eyes were wide open.    

"Hmph."    

With a cold snort, Ye Kai flung out a dark green Spiritual Strength chain, tied the man to a small stone pillar, and then looked sideways at the two people who were fighting the gigantic silver serpent.    

"What's going on?"    

Ye Yanyun did not know what had happened, but as she brandished the sword, she asked Ye Kai. If not for Ye Kai, she would have been pierced by the poison needles and died.    

The terrified expression on Lee Qianchou's face had long been clearly seen by Ye Kai. He stood there in a daze, cold sweat trickling down his forehead.    

"It's nothing, Miss Ye. Let's focus on dealing with this giant snake first!"    

"Alright!"    

Seeing this, Ye Kai revealed a sly smile.    

It seemed that the relationship between the four great families was much more complicated than he had initially thought.    

"Boom!"    

Finally, with the combined efforts of Ye Li and Ye Chonglou, as well as the support of the Firmament Sect and the two sect disciples, the giant serpent let out a painful hiss. Green colored venom exploded from its entire body, and it fell onto the ground while whimpering, no longer making any other movements.    

Ye Yanyun walked forward while covering her nose, and looked at the corpse of the huge snake, frowning, he slowly said.    

"This silver serpent's power is great, but it's not too strong. Perhaps, this is just an ordinary silver serpent that has absorbed thousands of years of spiritual energy from the tomb to become like this."    

Ah!    

Hearing a shrill scream, Ye Yanyun turned around and saw Ye Kai and Lee Qianchou standing in front of a Lee Family disciple.    

Lee Qianchou held a long sword in his hands, and on the body of the sword, scarlet blood continuously dripped onto the ground, while the hand of the Lee Family disciple who was cut off at the wrist fell, falling onto the ground, evidently done by Lee Qianchou.    

"What's going on?"    

Ye Yanyun walked over and asked.    

"Miss Ye."    

Lee Qianchou looked at Ye Yanyun with an ashamed expression. He lowered his head to where Ye Yanyun was standing, and said while clenching his teeth.    

"I'm sorry, but I, Li Jun, did not discipline him well enough to bring out such a traitor."    

"As a member of my Sword Sect, you actually dare to attack Miss Ye in broad daylight. You are simply audacious, and deserve to die a thousand times for your crimes!"    

"Today, I will personally clean the house and eradicate this villain!"    

With that, Lee Qianchou raised his sword and aimed it at the disciple's head. Just as he was about to swing his sword, his head dropped to the ground.    

At this time, Ye Kai extended his hand, and blocked in front of Lee Qianchou.    

When Lee Qianchou saw Ye Kai block his path, he was slightly stunned for a moment before asking.    

"Brother, what are you doing?"    

Ye Kai looked straight into Lee Qianchou's dark green eyes and answered.    

"There's no need to rush to kill him, right?"    

"Let me first ask him why he did this to Miss Ye. I need to know the situation."    

"I think so too."    

Ye Yanyun nodded.    

Hearing Ye Kai and Ye Yanyun's words, Lee Qianchou's expression seemed to become even more anxious.    

"What is there to ask? I can just cut off this kind of scum with a single slash of my sword!"    

"Don't worry."    

The corner of Ye Kai's mouth curved into a sly smile.    

"Maybe he was under orders?"    

Hearing Ye Kai's words, Lee Qianchou's face froze, his pupils slightly enlarged, and returned to normal.    

"This brother sure likes to joke around."    

He gave a stiff smile and said.    

Although it was only for a few short seconds, Ye Kai was able to see all of the minute changes in Lee Qianchou's expression.    

Just when the two of them were at a stalemate, a thick and deep voice suddenly sounded in the hall.    

"Lee Qianchou, Ye Yanyun, what are you doing?"    

Everyone turned their heads and looked towards the origin of the voice. It was none other than Luo Zhen from the Luo Sheng Sect. At this moment, they also passed through the passageway and arrived at the great hall.    

The dozen or so disciples of the Rebirth Sect following behind Luo Zhen, including Luo Zhen himself, all had ashen faces and long scars on their arms, thighs, waists, and other places. It was likely that the passage they had just passed was also filled with mechanisms left behind by the tomb robbers.    

"Ye Yanyun, you're not injured?"    

Seeing that Ye Yanyun was unharmed, Luo Zhen asked in shock.    

"This young miss is the eldest senior sister of the Firmament Sect, how can I possibly be injured!"    

Ye Yanyun stuck out her chest, looking as if it was a matter of course.    

After some discussion, they finally came to a conclusion. They tied the Sword Sect disciple onto a stone pillar and healed his wounds. They would discuss this matter when they left the ancient tomb.    

At this time, Ye Tianyi finally walked out of the passageway by himself.    

Although they had spent the most time, Ye Tianyi's body actually did not have any injuries, so it was not hard to see just how terrifying Ye Tianyi's strength was.    

Looks like the strength of Ye Tianyi and Ye Family has indeed far surpassed these three sects.    

Ye Tianyi looked at Ye Kai and the others, nodded, and then walked to the only entrance in front of the great hall. Everyone immediately followed behind.    

Ye Kai and the Firmament Sect disciples were at the very back. He walked around Ye Yanyun and spoke slowly with a voice that only Ye Yanyun could hear.    

"Be careful of Lee Qianchou."    

Ye Yanyun was startled, she turned to look at Ye Kai, then nodded with a serious face.    

Ye Yanyun was not an idiot. She knew that the reason why Lee Qianchou was so anxious to kill that Sword Sect disciple was most likely because he was afraid that disciple would expose the truth behind the assassination attempt.    

If the two guessed correctly, the thing that would truly attack Ye Yanyun would be the entire Lee Family.    

This passage was much narrower and longer than the previous ones, but there were no traps. Ye Kai speculated that this passage might lead to the main hall of the tomb.    

Everyone walked in the passageway and felt the Yin energy slowly blow past them. Their faces were very unsightly.    

It was only at the very end that a ray of light appeared at the limit of Ye Tianyi's vision while he was walking at the very front that the gloomy atmosphere was finally swept clean.    

Walking out of the passageway, a huge room appeared before everyone.    

"This …"    

Looking at the scene before them, everyone was stunned.    

Many dusty boxes were placed in the deepest parts of the palace. Although they were old, everyone could feel the strands of spiritual energy that were emitting from them.    

Grave treasure!    

The disciples of the Luo Family and Lee Family immediately rushed forward, while Ye Yanyun also seemed to be eager to give it a try. Just as she was about to walk in, Ye Kai pulled her sleeve.    

"What are you doing!?" They're going to steal everything! "    

Ye Yanyun said in a bad mood, but she still stood at his original spot obediently. She did not walk in, and the other Ye Family disciples also followed Ye Yanyun and stood at his original spot.    

"There's a problem."    

A trace of corpse Qi came out from the air as Ye Kai whispered.    

Ah!    

Suddenly, a disciple of the Luo Family let out a mournful howl and vomited a mouthful of blood as he fell to the ground.    

At the place where he fell, the crowd saw a living corpse covered in rotten flesh, unexpectedly appearing in the hall!    

Ah!    

Ye Yanyun saw that the live corpse's head was split open, and she shouted out in shock.    

With this as a signal, countless living corpses walked out from all directions of the hall. Their bodies emitted creaking sounds, and their bodies were completely black. Pieces of wounds that had long since solidified appeared on the surface of their bodies, revealing the eerie white bones within.    

"This... Was this also designed by the tomb creator? "    

Ye Yanyun's face was filled with fear as she asked.    

Ye Kai shook his head.    

"Do you still remember that giant silver python?"    

"A corpse of a silver serpent could transform into this even after absorbing the spiritual energy of the tomb. What would happen if the corpse of a human were to continue existing in the tomb?"    

"I'm afraid that these living corpses are all transformed from the tomb gravediggers that the Emperor buried with him. Moreover, their physical strength is not any weaker than the Yuan Dan."    

In the next second, the dozens of living corpses opened their bloody mouths, let out terrifying howls, and rushed towards everyone!
