Douluo's Blue Silver Family

Chapter 383 Deterrence (Two Chapters Combined)

The ancestral land of the Blood Lightning Clan was littered with corpses, the earth stained crimson with blood, and the sky and earth collapsed.

The broken spear and shattered bronze bell were scattered all over the ground, and Ye Fan eventually collected them, hoping they could be repaired.

In comparison, this is a sacred weapon at the level of a Saint King, and its value is considerable.

A few days later, the news of the Blood Lightning Clan's annihilation spread throughout the world once again, shaking the world once more.

However, Yuan Changqing felt that this was not enough, believing that even the destruction of the Divine Valley and the Blood Lightning Clan could not deter the Primordial Clan.

Therefore, Yuan Changqing, Ye Fan, and Elder Wei discussed the matter again and decided that they should take advantage of the situation and let the ancient clan guess for themselves.

Then, because Ye Fan had experience entering Purple Mountain, and with the Boundless Emperor Bell within Purple Mountain, he could use it to intimidate the Primordial Clan and prevent them from acting rashly.

Afterwards, the three split into two groups: Ye Fan went to Zishan, while Yuan Changqing and Elder Wei continued to eliminate several members of the ancient clan who were causing trouble.

……

Purple Mountain.

After returning to the Holy City from the ancestral land of the Blood Lightning Clan, Ye Fan first went to the Azure Dragon King of the Demon Clan and borrowed their Saint-level body.

Then, he secretly rushed to Zishan to carry out the plan he had discussed with Yuan Changqing.

After all, this is a big move, and if we don't leverage the momentum, it could easily provoke the wrath of the ancient clans.

Furthermore, with the ancient race clamoring to slaughter the human race across billions of miles of land, Yuan Changqing and his group had no choice but to be on guard.

Although the ancient races couldn't do anything to Yuan Changqing and his group, the innocent humans were powerless to protect themselves.

Therefore, after Yuan Changqing proposed this idea, even Elder Wei agreed, as Elder Wei knew that it was of great importance.

If we really provoke the ancient race to the point of recklessness, and given that the human race has no means to deter them...

Then, the human race might face a situation of bloodshed, which is something that Yuan Changqing and the other two have to consider.

Therefore, after realizing the seriousness of the situation, the three of them took these factors into consideration as well.

Ye Fan's arrival at Zishan was part of the plan.

Now, the outside world is shocked by the news of the Blood Lightning Clan's annihilation and has stopped paying attention to Purple Mountain, which gives Ye Fan the opportunity to act as he sees fit.

What Yuan Changqing, Ye Fan, and Elder Wei are doing now is to create the illusion that the Great Emperor Wushi is still alive in order to deter those restless members of the Ancient Clan.

After all, the Great Emperor Wushi is indeed still alive, just not in this realm.

After Ye Fan entered Purple Mountain, relying on his shared origin with the Holy Body, his primordial spirit entered the Holy Body's corpse, which was at the Saint level, and struck the Boundless Emperor Bell.

"Clang, clang..."

The bell tolled throughout the heavens and earth, audible to those above the Big Dipper, instantly shocking the world.

Unexpectedly, not long after the Blood Lightning Clan was wiped out, the Wushi Emperor Bell in Purple Mountain resounded throughout the world, and for a time, there were many different opinions about it.

The sound of the Emperor's Bell suppressed all other sounds in the Northern Region, its vast and resounding tolling for countless miles, bringing considerable peace to the world.

The bell tolls, and the world is subdued! It makes countless people feel their souls tremble, as only the continuous roar of the bell shakes the world.

The ancient races that had been wiped out by the Blood Lightning Clan fell silent instantly, accompanied by expressions of fear.

For a moment, only the distant sound of bells resounded between heaven and earth, as if they had come from a distant past.

It was like a beam of primordial divine light shining upon the vast earth, causing all living beings to tremble in fear, its power overwhelming for eternity.

At this moment, countless people knelt before Zishan Mountain, filled with utmost piety and heartfelt reverence.

Many human cultivators were also moved to tears, praying devoutly and showing reverence as if they were facing a god, their bodies trembling with excitement.

At this moment, countless human cultivators were extremely excited. Since the birth of the Primordial Clan, the immense pressure seemed to dissipate with the sound of the Boundless Emperor Bell.

"when……"

The melodious and continuous sound of the bell resounded throughout the heavens and earth. Every human being who heard the bell of the Beginningless Emperor Bell once again was filled with boundless excitement and joy.

At this moment, countless people, including those from the ancient races, were wondering: Could it be that the Great Emperor Wushi is still alive?!

At this moment, many humans had the same thought, and they felt a surge of pride, their blood boiling, and they cheered, regardless of whether it was true or not.

However, this was not so pleasant for the Primordial Clan. It was as if the sound of the Emperor's Bell had hit them hard, leaving them feeling depressed.

"More than 100,000 years have passed since the era of the Great Emperor Wushi. Could it be that the peerless emperor of the human race is still alive?"

The world is now in a strange silence. The ancient race is terrified and lies in hiding, no longer daring to utter those arrogant words.

"when……"

The tolling of the Emperor Wushi Bell continued without ceasing, showing no sign of stopping.

One day, two days, three days...

At this moment, the Primordial Emperor Zhong awed the ancient race, subduing them under his divine might that had endured for millennia.

He truly deserves to be called the Great Emperor Wushi; with just the sound of the bell, he can awe the ages and suppress the world.

Just as the bell rang, Yuan Changqing and Elder Wei began the plan they had discussed earlier.

Therefore, Yuan Changqing and Elder Wei began to secretly search for the ancient royal family that had previously been so arrogant.

This sparked a massive massacre; after all, those who had been the most vocal in their clamor deserved to die.

The Wushi Emperor Bell resounded throughout the heavens and earth for three months, during which time Yuan Changqing and Elder Wei slaughtered six ancient royal families.

"when……"

This can truly be described as a bloody massacre that shocked the world, with bells tolling endlessly and killing continuing unabated.

Three months later, the bells stopped ringing, and Zishan returned to peace.

However, the news that six ancient royal families had been wiped out in these three months also shocked and terrified the ancient royal family.

As a result, those ancient races no longer dared to act rashly and were filled with fear.

The sound of the Boundless Bell shook heaven and earth, accompanied by the destruction of the six ancient royal families.

This situation immediately caused a tremendous upheaval, shaking countless living beings to their core. It was the strongest deterrent being unleashed with the blood of the ancient royal family.

Moreover, people have discovered that the six ancient royal families that were destroyed were the most arrogant ancient royal families before.

However, with the ringing of the Emperor's Bell, they paid a bloody price and were wiped out.

For a time, countless people and forces were speculating about who that mysterious, peerless expert was and how he could do something so earth-shattering!

The ancient clan was terrified and fell silent, lying in hiding, daring not to utter a single word for fear of provoking the peerless demon king.

Those top clans were also very wary of Emperor Wushi Zhong, and began to doubt whether Emperor Wushi was really still alive.

Those ancient clans that did not have ancestral kings at the Great Sage level were all terrified at this moment, fearing that the mysterious Demon King would come knocking on their door.

Therefore, the ancient tribes activated their defensive formations, protecting their ancestral lands thoroughly.

Such an earth-shattering event led to the ancient beings rarely appearing in the outside world for some time afterward.

However, some ancient beings still emerged, and they were all contacting the top forces and extreme powers of the human race, adopting a very humble attitude.

Actually, the real thought was to find out the truth from these powerful forces and get a feel for the situation.

However, the ancient race's idea was destined to be disappointed, and the major human powers were also unaware of the situation.

Besides, the major human powers aren't stupid, and they wouldn't tell the ancient race anything. They were just making things up, mixing truth with falsehood, which left the ancient race confused about what was really going on.

After all, no one knew the true situation within Purple Mountain, and the Primordial Clan never managed to find out the truth.

Moreover, even the mysterious and peerless expert in the shadows couldn't detect it. The more mysterious it was, the more the ancient clans feared it.

"Why is it that the Human Emperor can live on for so long, while Wu Shi, no matter how strong, could not possibly live this long?"

"It's impossible for Emperor Wushi to still be alive. The lifespan of an emperor is limited, and hundreds of thousands of years have passed. Emperor Wushi must be dead."

The ancient clans, having calmed down, are now beginning to doubt the very existence of the Great Emperor Wushi.

However, they were indeed afraid; they were just good at talking, and no clan was willing to be the one to take the lead.

After all, it's better to be safe than sorry.

If the Great Emperor Wushi is really still alive, wouldn't that be a tragedy?

The ancient clan also wanted to ask their Great Sage-level Ancestral King to kill the mysterious human powerhouse who had secretly destroyed the Primordial Royal Family.

This is also a signal released by the ancient clan after they calmed down; in fact, it is also a further test.

This is the Crown Prince's statement; he's once again stepping forward to assert his presence.

Moreover, the Emperor's son's behavior clearly shows that he is not a well-behaved bird. He is constantly jumping around, trying to incite a war between the ancient race and the human race so that he can profit from it.

After all, the royal family among the ancient clans still gives the Crown Prince some face out of respect for the Undying Emperor.

However, if interests are involved, who would care about a prince who has lost the protection of an immortal emperor?

Only those ancient royal families treated the Heavenly Emperor's son with courtesy, which allowed him to thrive among them.

Therefore, the Heavenly Emperor's son kept jumping around and expressing his opinion, saying that the Great Emperor Wushi was dead.

Moreover, the Heavenly Emperor's sons contacted the ancient royal families to explain their views, so that the ancient families would not have to fear the Great Emperor Wushi.

Immediately, the Northern Region, which had calmed down, was stirred up again by the appearance of the Heavenly Emperor's son and his statement, and the atmosphere became tense once more.

……

After annihilating the six ancient royal families of the Primordial Clan, Yuan Changqing and Elder Wei hurriedly returned to the Holy City of the Northern Region.

Afterwards, Yuan Changqing and Elder Wei came to Zishan and met with Ye Fan there.

Inside the Purple Mountain.

"This is far from enough. Just hearing the bell tolls, without displaying imperial techniques, is not enough to intimidate those ancient races," Ye Fan muttered to himself.

Then, facing the Hetu Luoshu, he said, "Ancestor, it is time for you and me to take a trip with the Grim Reaper."

Before Ye Fan came to Zishan, Yuan Changqing had given him the Hetu Luoshu in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

The ancestor Ye Fan mentioned was none other than the Source Celestial Master who died in Purple Mountain.

However, for unknown reasons, this Source Master met with misfortune. Fortunately, he had the Imperial Weapon, the River Chart and the Luo River Book, which could suppress the ominous force.

Otherwise, Ye Fan wouldn't know what to do.

"Very well, I only have this last bit of time left. Let me unleash the final glory of the Source Celestial Master. Let's go, and use this last bit of time to annihilate a great ancient royal family."

As night fell, a terrifying group of figures appeared outside Purple Mountain, all dressed in wide black robes that fluttered in the wind.

From a distance, they looked like a sea of ​​death gods, motionless, making one's hair stand on end.

Yuan Changqing saw Ye Fan emerging from Zishan Mountain and quickly called out, "Ye Fan!"

"Senior, Elder Wei, you're here! How are things going with you and Elder Wei?" Ye Fan asked hurriedly upon seeing Yuan Changqing and Elder Wei.

After all, this whole mess was orchestrated by Yuan Changqing, Ye Fan, and Elder Wei, and they also wanted to know how the battle was going.

Yuan Changqing casually said, "The battle was fruitful and the harvest was plentiful. I've saved your share for you; I'll give it to you when we get back to the Holy City."

This time, Yuan Changqing and his two companions annihilated the ancient royal family, so they naturally reaped a great harvest, including numerous cultivation resources and treasures.

It truly proves the old saying: "A horse won't get fat without night grass, and a person won't get rich without unexpected wealth."

Old Wei had no desire for these things; he only picked out what he needed and gave the rest to Yuan Changqing and Ye Fan.

Yuan Changqing and Ye Fan split the spoils equally.

However, to be honest, these ancient clans are incredibly wealthy. Just one ancient royal clan has already reaped a huge harvest, and now there are a total of eight ancient royal clans.

Therefore, these cultivation resources and treasures were so abundant that Yuan Changqing and Ye Fan had been eating their fill of delicious food in just a few months.

Ye Fan then said, "Senior, there's no rush. Let's talk about that after this incident is resolved."

Afterwards, Ye Fan also expressed his concerns about this incident, and then introduced Yuan Changqing and Elder Wei to Zhang Lin, the Source Master in Purple Mountain.

Ye Fan then explained the plan, and Yuan Changqing and Elder Wei nodded in agreement. This way, they could better deter the Primordial Clan.

The black-robed Master Zhang Lin looked at Yuan Changqing and Elder Wei without saying a word. Behind him was a scene of death, and even Yuan Changqing, who was used to seeing mountains of corpses and seas of blood, couldn't help but feel a chill.

Yuan Changqing asked, "Then let's set off now while the Wushi Emperor Bell still has its deterrent effect, otherwise it will be troublesome once those ancient races realize what's happening."

Now that the tolling of the Wushi Emperor Bell has just ended, it's the perfect opportunity to take action.

Afterwards, once those ancient races realize what's happening, they will definitely become suspicious and take the opportunity to cause trouble.

"Senior, wait a moment," Ye Fan called out quickly.

Yuan Changqing asked in confusion, "Is there anything else?"

Ye Fan said, "This is the former Holy Maiden of Yaochi Holy Land. She is a fellow disciple of Senior Zeng Li. I plan to rescue her first."

Ye Fan also knew that Yuan Changqing's wife and daughter were from the Yaochi Holy Land.

Furthermore, since the previous Holy Maiden of Yaochi and Master Zhang Lin were lovers, they should at least be saved.

Ye Fan took out a huge piece of divine source, which contained Yang Yi, the former holy maiden of Yaochi Holy Land.

Subsequently, Ye Fan cut open the divine source. Now, Ye Fan's source techniques have reached a level of perfection, and he is not far from becoming a source master. With his level, he naturally would not be able to harm Yang Yi.

Yang Yi, who was cut out from the divine source, lay motionless on the ground like a sleeping beauty, her beautiful eyes closed, looking extremely peaceful.

Zhang Lin looked at Yang Yi deeply, filled with longing.

Then he said, "Let's go!"

Ye Fan was taken aback and asked, "Master, are we abandoning Senior Yang Yi? Aren't we going to wait for her to wake up?"

Zhang Lin shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'll scare her if I look like this."

Yuan Changqing then said, "My wife and daughter are also disciples of the Yaochi Holy Land. I will send her back to the Yaochi Holy Land. Besides, it's easy for something to happen if we leave her here unattended."

After hearing this, Zhang Lin looked at Ye Fan, who nodded.

"It would be good to send her back to the Jade Pool Holy Land. Then I'll trouble you, fellow Daoist."

Yuan Changqing nodded, then took out a few drops of demigod potion and poured them into Yang Yi's body. A divine light, as bright as the moon, continuously bloomed, igniting her life force.

Yang Yi woke up shortly afterward, but she looked extremely confused, as if she was recalling everything from her past.

After seeing Yang Yi wake up, Ye Fan said, "Don't ask anything. Someone wants you to live a good life."

Yang Yi was startled, as if she remembered something, then her eyes filled with tears as she called out to the front, "Zhang Lin, is that you? Why won't you see me!"

Zhang Lin didn't turn back, but led a group of death gods forward.

At this moment, Yang Yi started crying and ran forward, saying, "Zhang Lin, I know it's you..."

Zhang Lin is now completely covered in a black robe, his body covered in red hair, not daring to reveal even a tiny bit. This is because of an ominous event, and it is also the fate of the Xuan Tian Master.

With his back to Yang Yi, Zhang Lin said in a hoarse voice, "Miss, you've mistaken me for someone else. It's been ten thousand years now. Zhang Lin has long since died, at the dawn of a new day."

Zhang Lin now only has one night left. When the dawn breaks the next day, it will be the time for him and those Grim Reapers to vanish into thin air.

Therefore, Zhang Lin doesn't have much time left to linger here. He needs to make the most of his final moments as the Source Master and shine with his last brilliance.

"Kill! Kill our way to a bright and clear world!" Zhang Lin roared with boundless pride.

Ye Fan then advised, "Master, why not see him one last time? You only have this one last night left. Don't let your life be filled with regrets."

"But if you really don't see Senior Tavia Yeung, she might become distraught and possibly follow you in death!"

"Besides, how would you know that senior Yang Yi would care about your appearance?"

"If you really leave and never come back, that will be the biggest regret of your life."

Yang Yi said in a tearful voice, "Zhang Lin, no matter what happened, it doesn't matter, just stop."

Then, Zhang Lin stopped in his tracks. Yang Yi caught up with him and came to him, her face covered in tears. She just stood there quietly looking at Zhang Lin, who was shrouded in a black robe.

Zhang Lin then removed the black robe that covered him, revealing that his entire body was covered in long, blood-red hair, so dense that even his face was obscured.

Yang Yi slowly reached out and stroked Zhang Lin's face, saying, "No matter what you become, you will always be the Zhang Lin I remember. Wherever you go, I will follow."

Zhang Lin said in a hoarse voice, "I don't have much time left. When the sunrise comes tomorrow, I will vanish into thin air and disappear from this world."

"If you really want to follow me, then you must promise me that you will live a good life."

"I don't have time to see this beautiful world anymore. I hope you can help me see it in the future."

Yang Yi burst into tears, and Zhang Lin wanted to reach out and wipe away her tears.

However, upon reaching out and seeing his own thick red hair and sharp, black fingernails, he froze in mid-air.

Yang Yi grabbed Zhang Lin's hand and placed it on her face, saying, "Okay, I promise you, let me accompany you on your final journey now!"

Zhang Lin nodded and said, "Okay, let's go. I really don't have much time left."

A strong wind rises, and the clouds fly high, never to return.

As the mist rose, amidst a dense swarm of deathly figures, a beautiful woman appeared.

Zhang Lin also took off his black robe, revealing his entire body covered in red fur, making him look like a monster, and walked side by side with the beautiful woman.

Yuan Changqing, Ye Fan, and Elder Wei followed silently behind, watching the deeply loving couple ahead.

The fog was thick and eerie; they seemed like spirits from hell, wielding the scythe of death, about to reap the lives of the world and compose the final tragic song of life.
