Chapter 189 The Spirit King Breaks Through Limits
Although Ye Shuli has resolved the previous conspiracy, she is still one step away from reaching the Spirit King realm.
Standing outside the ancient family's territory, gazing in the direction where the spiritual creature was growing, she knew in her heart that the precious spiritual creature was the key.
However, the obstruction from the conservative forces of the ancient families, the covetous eyes of other cultivators, and the restrictions of the rules of the Spirit King realm stood like mountains in front of them, making them hesitate to move forward.
"Yezi, give me your hand." Ye Shuli turned her head and looked at Jiang Ye with a firm gaze.
Jiang Ye immediately reached out and held her hand tightly, giving her his greatest support and strength.
Their hearts were closely connected, each other's.
"Little Yezi, you must be careful this time. The Gu family patriarch is no pushover," Jiang Ye said in a low voice, his tone tinged with worry.
"Don't worry, a mere conservative force can't stump me." Ye Shuli pouted, but secretly she was grateful for Jiang Ye's concern.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Shuli stepped into the territory of the ancient family.
Before me lies a cluster of ancient and solemn buildings, exuding an ancient family atmosphere.
The patriarch of the Gu family, accompanied by a group of servants, waited there early in the morning, his dignified eyes carrying a hint of vigilance.
"Ye Shuli, you've finally arrived." The Gu family patriarch's tone was cold, his gaze sharp as a knife. "You want our family's spiritual treasures? It won't be so easy."
Ye Shuli smiled slightly, her tone unyielding, "Clan head of the Gu family, I have long known that your family possesses this spiritual treasure. Naturally, I have come here hoping to obtain it. However, I know that this is by no means a simple transaction, so I have made thorough preparations."
The patriarch of the Gu family raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised. "Oh? What preparations have you made?"
"First of all, I understand your family's concerns that the spiritual artifact falling into the hands of outsiders would affect your status and interests," Ye Shuli said clearly and forcefully. "But please consider this: this spiritual artifact is of paramount importance to me. I can not only guarantee that it will be used properly, but I will also be the first to stand up and help your family when it faces a crisis. This is my sincerity."
The head of the Gu family's eyes flickered slightly, clearly moved by Ye Shuli's words.
However, the young master of the Gu family stomped his feet in anger and shouted, "Father, we can't trust her! She's just an outsider, and she might even bring harm to our family!"
The patriarch of the Gu family frowned, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Ye Shuli and his son.
Ye Shuli remained unfazed and continued, "Young Master Gu, I heard what you said. But I can assure you that every word I said was sincere. You can send someone to supervise me and ensure that the spiritual artifact is used properly. That way, your worries will be gone."
Some clansmen began to waver. After a moment of contemplation, the clan patriarch finally spoke: "Ye Shuli, what you say makes some sense. But we both know the importance of spiritual objects. I will give you a chance, but you must pass the test and prove your sincerity."
Ye Shuli smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "I am willing to accept the test. I am willing to give everything as long as I can obtain the spiritual item."
The patriarch of the Gu family nodded and turned to give a few instructions to the servants beside him.
The servants immediately dispersed, preparing the testing ground.
Ye Shuli's gaze was firm, her heart filled with determination.
"Little Yezi, you're amazing," Jiang Ye whispered in her ear, squeezing her hand tightly.
"With me, we will definitely succeed." Ye Shuli's eyes shone with confidence.
Just then, the young master of the Gu family said in a low voice, unwilling to accept defeat, "Hmph, I will make you pay the price."
Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye exchanged a smile, already prepared for what to do.
With a command from the clan patriarch, the test officially began.
Ye Shuli took firm steps onto the path leading to the Spirit King realm, while Jiang Ye followed closely behind her, steadfastly supporting her.
Chapter 189 The Spirit King Breaks Through Limits and Finally Ascends to the Throne
Under the watchful eye of the Gu family patriarch, Ye Shuli stood firmly at the entrance of the testing grounds.
The young master of the Gu family, unwilling to accept defeat, fanned the flames from the sidelines, attempting to incite his clansmen against Ye Shuli.
"Father, you can't hand over such an important spiritual object to an outsider! Ye Shuli is not trustworthy at all. Once she gets the spiritual object, she will pose a threat to our family!" The young master of the Gu family shouted excitedly, which drew the echoes of many clansmen.
Their voices were like a cold wind, making Ye Shuli's clothes flutter.
The patriarch of the Gu family frowned, trying his best not to show any obvious wavering.
Ye Shuli smiled slightly, her eyes filled with calmness and confidence: "Young Master Gu, your concerns are valid, but have you considered that if the spiritual treasures are always monopolized by your family, wouldn't you be missing out on even more opportunities?"
Young Master Gu was taken aback, clearly not expecting Ye Shuli to respond on her own initiative.
Ye Shuli continued, "I propose a spiritual object sharing plan that will benefit ancient families in the long run. We can establish a sharing mechanism to grant access to spiritual objects to promising young members, while setting up a strict management and supervision system to ensure that spiritual objects are not abused. This will not only enhance the overall strength of the family, but also encourage more family members to cultivate diligently."
Her voice was clear and powerful, like a clear spring pouring into the hearts of the people.
Many clansmen began to nod, and the clan patriarch's gaze also changed, gradually shifting from initial wariness to appreciation.
The young master of the Gu family looked even uglier, his face turning red with jealousy.
He shouted angrily, "Father, this is just her trick! Don't believe her!"
The clan patriarch pondered for a moment, then looked at Ye Shuli: "Ye Shuli, your suggestion is very creative. I'm willing to give you a chance, but you must prove your sincerity. Now, are you ready to accept the test?"
Ye Shuli smiled slightly and nodded: "I'm ready."
Just then, a cold wind blew by, and the figure of the shadow assassin silently approached.
He concealed his presence to an almost unparalleled degree, and it wasn't until he suddenly launched his attack that Ye Shuli sensed an ominous premonition.
Before she could react, Jiang Ye quickly shielded her behind him, but he himself was injured in the process.
"Little Yezi, step back!" Jiang Ye's voice was tense, but still firm.
Ye Shuli was filled with guilt and anger, but her gaze quickly turned calm.
She quickly observed the assassin's patterns of movement and already had a plan in mind.
"Yezi, are you alright?" Ye Shuli asked softly, her eyes flashing with a resolute light.
Jiang Ye held her hand tightly and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, this injury is nothing. As long as you're here, I have confidence."
Ye Shuli took a deep breath, her gaze fixed on the Shadow Assassin, and her plan gradually took shape.
She knew that at this moment, she had to stay calm and not let Jiang Ye's efforts go to waste.
Ye Shuli did not immediately retaliate, but calmly observed the assassin's movement patterns.
She noticed that the assassin was agile and moved like a ghost, making traditional attack methods ineffective.
Her heart was racing, but a cold smile played on her lips as her gaze swept quickly across the surrounding terrain.
"This place has many hidden arrangements that I can make use of," she thought to herself.
Ye Shuli quickly recalled her modern military knowledge and, combined with the terrain of the ancient family territory before her, a plan took shape in her mind.
She quickly approached Jiang Ye and whispered, "Yezi, step back a few meters behind me and get ready to cooperate. I'll set a trap, and once the assassin falls into it, we'll act together."
Jiang Ye nodded and quickly retreated to the position she designated.
Ye Shuli then began to set up traps, using cracks in the ground and some hidden mechanisms to create a series of traps.
Before long, the shadow assassin approached again, but without being noticed.
Just then, Ye Shuli suddenly shouted, "Come on, let me see what you're capable of!"
The assassin was taken aback, thinking that Ye Shuli was about to make a direct move, but he did not expect that she had already set up a trap.
The assassin suddenly increased his speed, as if he was about to quickly approach Ye Shuli, but just as he was about to pounce on Ye Shuli, the ground suddenly collapsed, and a huge trap firmly trapped him.
The assassin struggled desperately, but was unable to break free.
Those around were astonished, and the clan patriarch and members of the Gu family all looked on with admiration.
The young master of the Gu family was so angry that his face turned ashen, and he glared at Ye Shuli through gritted teeth.
"A mere assassin dares to try and stop me?" Ye Shuli smiled coldly, her eyes flashing with determination and confidence.
At that moment, she noticed that the assassin's hands suddenly formed a hand seal, indicating that there were still follow-up assassination methods.
Ye Shuli reacted quickly and directed Jiang Ye to cooperate with her counterattack: "Yezi, get ready, he will use spiritual power to retaliate!"
Jiang Ye nodded, and the two quickly began to work together.
They used the fluctuations in spiritual energy around the habitat of the spirit creatures to neutralize the Shadow Assassins' counterattacks one by one.
Ye Shuli's every movement was incredibly precise, as if every trap and every fluctuation of spiritual energy was under her control.
The assassin gradually ran out of energy and eventually fled in a sorry state, leaving behind a trail of exhaustion and humiliation.
Those around her, seeing this, were filled with awe and respect for Ye Shuli's abilities.
The young master of the Gu family was so jealous that he stomped his feet, his eyes practically spitting fire with envy.
Jiang Ye gently tidied Ye Shuli's wind-blown hair, his eyes filled with love: "Little Ye, you're amazing."
Ye Shuli's heart raced, and her cheeks flushed slightly. She looked into Jiang Ye's eyes, which were filled with endless affection.
The tense atmosphere around them was replaced by an ambiguous one in that instant, and their feelings for each other intensified.
Jiang Ye said softly, "Little Yezi, you're amazing. I've always believed in you."
Ye Shuli smiled slightly, raised her head, and said with a firm gaze, "Yezi, thank you for always believing in me. We will face the challenges ahead together."
Just then, a series of crisp footsteps broke the silence.
The Spirit King mentor appeared before them, his eyes filled with a hint of mystery and wisdom.
He spoke slowly: "Ye Shuli, the barrier to the Spirit King realm is not insurmountable. Remember, true power comes from inner strength and conviction. Find that key, and you will be able to open the door to the Spirit King realm."
Ye Shuli's heart skipped a beat; she understood that there was a deeper meaning hidden in the Spirit King's words.
She began to ponder the meaning of the hint, various possibilities flashing through her mind.
What kind of key is needed to unlock the Spirit King realm?
The Spirit King mentor smiled slightly, turned and left, leaving behind a space for contemplation.
Ye Shuli fell into deep thought, while Jiang Ye silently stayed by her side, giving her his greatest support.
Just then, the young master of the Gu family emerged from the shadows, unwilling to give up. He gritted his teeth and said, "Ye Shuli, don't be too happy yet. I will never let you succeed!"
Ye Shuli's eyes turned cold, and her plan became even more resolute.
She knew that to break through to the Spirit King realm, she had to deal with each challenge before her.
She took a deep breath, looked up at the young master of the Gu family, and a cold smile appeared on her lips: "Young master of the Gu family, you had better pray that you don't become an obstacle in my path, otherwise, you will pay a heavy price."
After speaking, Ye Shuli's gaze returned to the testing ground in front of her, her heart filled with boundless fighting spirit and belief.
