I picked up the scattered attributes

"what happened?"

"That guy Chi Yanming got beaten up?"

The commotion here has finally attracted more attention.

Many members of the Chiwu clan emerged from their respective caves, casting curious glances toward the direction from which the screams were coming.

Chi Yanming was quite famous among them.

However, before this, much of his fame came from Chi Yanli, from his identity as "Chi Yanli's younger brother".

This time, with the ancestral soul's resurgence, Chi Yanli fell from grace, while Chi Yanming improved significantly. Although he did not awaken any new talents, his strength increased by leaps and bounds.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to move into Chi Yanli's former cave dwelling.

This is how Chi Yanming's fame grew.

"What exactly happened? Why is Chi Yanming screaming so miserably?"

"This guy has been incredibly arrogant lately. Did someone finally take it too far and beat him up?"

Some members of the clan were puzzled, while others gloated.

Suddenly, a dazzling, thick rainbow descended from the sky, gently swirling in mid-air before pulling Chi Yanming back. At the same time, a plump old man emerged from the rainbow.

"Thank you so much, Elder, for saving me!"

Chi Yanming swayed, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said with lingering fear.

The old man's face was somewhat gloomy, and he glared fiercely at Chi Yanming:

"Chi Yanming, instead of focusing on your cultivation and striving to awaken your new talent as soon as possible, what are you yelling about here? So many clansmen have awakened new talents, but you're the only one who hasn't. Do you really think this is something to be proud of?"

Chi Yanming lowered his head, refusing to utter a single word in rebuttal.

The old man scolded them a few more times before asking, with his hands behind his back:

"Tell me, what exactly happened to you? Why are you screaming so miserably?"

"Elder! She...she..."

Upon hearing this, Chi Yanming belatedly came to his senses, and he abruptly turned around and pointed at Luo'er:

"Her ancestral spirit attacked me!"

The moment the words left his mouth, all around fell silent!

……

Chapter 0540

All around, there was complete silence.

After an unknown amount of time, a burst of laughter suddenly erupted.

"This Chi Yanming... he's probably gone mad from practicing his martial arts!"

Does he really know what he's saying?

"That's the ancestral soul! The ancestral soul! The ancestral soul is a manifestation of the power of the soul, and it has no independent consciousness at all!"

more importantly……

Look at Chi Yanming's miserable state now. His nose has been broken, his mouth is swollen and blood is hanging from it, his once bright and beautiful feathers have fallen off in large patches, and his body is covered with bruises and dark circles.

"Even if the ancestral soul can attack him, it should be a mental injury!"

"Judging from his current appearance, he has clearly been defeated in battle! And defeated badly, getting thoroughly beaten up!"

However, in the blink of an eye, discussions arose one after another.

Chi Yanming's face was almost swollen into a blackish-purple color.

He gritted his teeth, spitting out each word almost as if it were a syllable from his throat: "Shut up! You stupid bastards! All of you shut up!"

"Hey! This guy's gotten angry!"

"Could it be that he hasn't awakened any new talents, which is why... Ah!"

Boom!

Chi Yanming suddenly transformed into a streak of flame and swept across the sky, sending one of his clansmen flying: "If you can't speak, then shut up. Nobody thinks you're mute!"

Having done all this, he flew back to his cave and coldly uttered a few words:

"In the end, strength speaks for itself in this world. Even if you awaken new talents, your strength will still be pitifully weak!"

The red crow that was knocked away flew backwards for hundreds of feet before crashing into the rock wall with a thud. It struggled for a long time but was unable to get up.

Many murmurs arose from the surroundings, but this time, no one dared to gossip.

"This guy's strength... seems to be even greater than it was ten days ago!"

The reason why they were able to occupy the cave that once belonged to Chi Yanli was largely due to this.

Although Chi Yanming did not awaken any new talents, his strength improved by leaps and bounds. Compared to his former self, he was like heaven and earth!

"That's enough. Between people of the same clan, let's stop here."

Just then, the portly elder spoke again.

His gaze swept between Chi Yanming and Luo'er a few times, and he frowned as he asked, "What exactly happened? Don't try to fob me off with such a lame excuse!"

The elder's expression was clearly not good.

Originally, although Chi Yanming did not awaken any new talents, his strength improved by leaps and bounds, and many high-ranking members of the clan still had high hopes for him.

That is why the cave dwelling that originally belonged to Chi Yanli was given to him.

He had just heard Chi Yanming's screams and thought something terrible had happened, that someone was trying to murder this rising genius...

The oath clearly told him that he had been attacked by someone else's ancestral spirit?

Why don't you get attacked by your own ancestral spirit?

"It's true, I'm not kidding!"

Chi Yanming became anxious upon hearing this.

The elder clearly did not believe his explanation.

but……

He was truly struck by Luo'er's ancestral spirit!

"Third Elder, everything I said is true!"

Chi Yanming exhaled, gritted his teeth, and then spoke slowly and deliberately.

He suddenly turned around and stared at Luo'er, continuing, "This brat's ancestral soul has a problem!"

"Is there something wrong with her ancestral soul?"

The Third Elder shook his head and couldn't help but chuckle: "You may have been in seclusion before, so you don't know. Although it was somewhat unexpected that this girl was able to return, at least four elders personally examined her ancestral soul, and even the Fusang Tree examined her."

Having said that, the portly Third Elder shook his head and let out a confident sigh:

"There can't be anything wrong with her ancestral soul."

"...No, there must be something wrong!"

Chi Yanming shook his head almost without thinking and said, "I can't be wrong. This guy's ancestral soul definitely has a big problem. Not only does it have self-awareness, but it can even directly attack my body!"

What are you talking about in your sleep?

The elder gave him a strange look, but seeing Chi Yanming's resolute expression, he shook his head helplessly and turned to look at the silent Luo'er: "Little girl, manifest your ancestral soul."

Just as Luo'er was about to say something, Feng Xia's voice suddenly rang in her ears.

Her small mouth opened slightly, as if she was stunned for a second, before she spoke:

"And what's the price?"

Third Elder: "?"

Chi Yanming almost laughed out of anger: "...You actually want a price?!"

Luo'er shook her head and said seriously, "The ancestral soul is everyone's privacy. Today you can ask the elder to check my ancestral soul because of a single sentence. Then one day, if you suffer a cultivation mishap and your ancestral soul suddenly disappears, you can also pin the blame on me."

The girl's youthful face showed an unusually serious expression.

"Although I am just a maid, I am still a member of the Chiwu clan! I have my own dignity!"

Every word was powerful and resounding!

Chi Yanming was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed: "Wait! Where did you put my ancestral soul?!"

It wasn't until this moment that he belatedly realized what was happening...

After that strange ancestral soul of Lori snatched away his ancestral soul, it was never released again. In fact, he could no longer sense the existence of the ancestral soul!

"Third Elder, look—"

Luo'er pouted and looked at the Third Elder with a wronged expression.

The Third Elder frowned. This kid was really arrogant and conceited, treating him, an elder, like a fool.

Even ancestral souls can be stolen... Do you really think anyone would believe such a idiotic lie?
