Chapter 4256
4256 You’re Nothing But Trash
Near the Xia clan.
A slender woman fought against four men. Earlier, she had been in a slightly disadvantageous position. However, at the critical moment, her law of time and Limitless Dao gave her the upper hand. Even then, her expression was grim as she escaped. She knew that it would be impossible for her to leave once reinforcements arrived.
…
After a while, a flying ship traveling at the speed of an advanced Supreme God arrived.
A middle-aged man and a young man, who resembled each other, disembarked from the flying ship.
!!
The eyes of the young man, who followed closely behind the middle-aged man, flashed with shock when he saw the slender figure in the distance. ‘Her strength is stronger than that of her past life!’
At this time, the middle-aged man standing in front sighed. ‘If Ning Xue was a man, she would definitely bring the Xia clan to great heights…” After a moment, he added, “Fortunately, she’s a woman, which gives you and the Xia clan such a great opportunity. I’ll restrain her and bring her back to the Yun clan. After that, I’ll order an advanced Supreme God, skilled in soul techniques, to erase all the memories of her current life and some memories from her past life. If you’re still unable to win her over under such circumstances… then the only way left is for you to make her bear your child.”
The young man’s eyes widened slightly upon hearing the middle-aged man’s words. He said bitterly, “Father, you should be aware of my cousin sister’s temperament. She’ll choose to end her life if we push her too far.”
The middle-aged man said indifferently, “That’s why we need to erase her memories. It’ll be easier for you to win her over if memories of her extreme behavior and her hatred toward you are erased. Even if she doesn’t like you or if we force her, without her memories, I don’t think she’ll take things to such extremes.”
The middle-aged man was familiar with his niece’s temperament. He would go to great lengths to ensure she did not resort to extreme methods. Otherwise, the ties between the Yun clan and Xia clan would suffer or even be severed. Although his brother-in-law did not favor his daughter, his brother-in-law would not let things slide if he learned about what happened. No matter what, blood was thicker than water. As such, he would not have acted if he was not confident.
After a moment, the middle-aged man appeared in front of Ke’er and raised his hand.
The four elders of the Yun clan from before hurried over and stood behind the middle-aged man like faithful servants.
“Xue’er…”
Ke’er stopped moving and looked at the middle-aged man expressionlessly as she asked, “Uncle, why did you send them to stop me? Did you do something to my loved ones?”
Ke’er’s main concern was the safety of her loved ones. She could not but feel anxious when she thought about Duan Ling Tian’s parents, Li Fei, and her daughter, Duan Si Ling. Since their Soul Pearls had run out of energy, there was no way for her to confirm their safety.
“No,” the middle-aged man said as he shook his head, “Xue’er, they’re fine. You have my word.”
“Then, why did you send them to stop me and prevent me from returning to my clan?” Ke’er asked icily.
Although Ke’er refused to marry Yun Qing Yan in her past life, she still respected her uncle. However, after what he had done, her respect for him was gone.
“Xue’er, you’ll find out in due time. Why don’t you come with me to the Yun clan?” the middle-aged man asked with a smile. At the same time, a flash of light appeared in his eyes.
Following that, Ke’er seemed to have fallen into a trance.
The tense atmosphere vanished immediately, replaced by silence.
The middle-aged man, also the Clan Leader of the Yun clan, was an advanced Supreme God, and he was also skilled in soul techniques. He had just cast a soul-capturing technique on Ke’er to stop her from resisting as they brought her back to the Yun clan.
At this time, a childish voice echoed in Ke’er’s mind.
‘A mere advanced Supreme God wants to befuddle my master?’
Subsequently, a streak of light coursed through Ke’er’s vein toward her glabella.
Boom!
In just a moment, the streak of light broke the Soul Energy with just a strike, and Ke’er regained consciousness.
The expression of the Clan Leader of the Yun clan changed immediately upon seeing this. ‘Her artifact soul is capable of breaking my soul technique?!’
The middle-aged man felt like the situation had taken a turn for the worst. He also knew the artifact soul must have belonged to the prominent divine artifact that Ke’er found on the Realm Battlefield. He knew what her prominent divine artifact from her past life looked like after all, and the brush was definitely not her prominent divine artifact from her past life. He could sense that the brush was not an ordinary prominent divine artifact. He speculated that the writing brush must have absorbed the fragment of a prime divine artifact. It might not have transformed into a prime divine artifact, but absorbing a fragment of a prime divine artifact would give it a new ability, which gave it the power to break soul techniques. Apart from making prominent divine artifacts stronger, the fragment of a prime divine artifact also granted new abilities to prominent divine artifacts.
‘Even if I successfully bring her back to the Yun clan, I’m not sure if an advanced Supreme God highly skilled in soul techniques is capable of erasing her memories…’ the Clan Leader of the Yun clan thought to himself, ‘It seems like the only way is to get rid of her divine artifact.’
The Clan Leader of the Yun clan could not help but sigh inwardly. He knew it would be difficult to separate a prominent divine artifact and its artifact soul from their master. Unless their master willingly relinquished them, the only way was to destroy the prominent divine artifact and its soul or kill the master.
Meanwhile, Ke’er’s artifact soul recounted what had happened to her after she regained consciousness. Her gaze was frosty as she looked at the Clan Leader of the Yun clan and said, “Clan Leader Yun, how dare you use your soul technique on me. It seems like you’re determined to imprison me. Let me make it clear to you, it’s impossible for you to do that unless I die. I don’t think you’re capable of stopping me if I decide to end my life!”
Ke’er sneered at the end of her words. She no longer addressed the Clan Leader of the Yun clan as ‘uncle’.
At this time, Yun Qing Yan, the Eldest Young Master of the Yun clan, finally said, “Cousin sister! My father is your uncle. How could you speak to him in such a manner?”
There were a few marriage alliances between the Yun clan and the Xia clan. In fact, the younger sister of the Clan Leader of the Yun clan was married to the Clan Leader of the Xia clan. However, before this marriage, Yun Qing Yan’s senior aunt, who was his father’s sister-in-law, married the Clan Leader of the Yun clan first. It was after her demise that the Clan Leader of the Xia clan married the youngest sister of the Clan leader of the Yun clan.
Ke’er was the illegitimate daughter of the Clan Leader of the Xia clan. She had no blood relations to the two wives of the Clan Leader of the Xia clan at all, which meant she also had no blood relations to the Clan Leader of the Yun clan. Previously, she had maintained a modicum of respect by addressing the Clan Leader of the Yun clan, but in fact, there was nothing inappropriate about her addressing him as ‘Clan Leader Yun’ as well.
Ke’er looked at Yun Qing Yan indifferently and said, “Yun Qing Yan, do you know what I think of you in this life and my past life?” She did not wait for his response and continued to say icily, “You’re nothing but trash born with a silver spoon in your mouth. In my past life, you insisted on marrying me because of my innate talent and abilities. To avoid marrying you and as an explanation for my father, I ended my life and chose to reincarnate. I didn’t expect that even in this life, you and the Yun clan would be so persistent and refuse to let me go.”
Yun Qing Yan did not seem angered by her words. Instead, he smiled faintly and said, “Cousin sister, the Yun clan and I didn’t agree to cancel the marriage agreement just because you chose to end your life and reincarnate. You did all of that on your own accord.”
In the past, Ke’er decided to repay her father with her life for refusing to marry Yun Qing Yan since she would not have existed without him. Needless to say, it caused a huge commotion at that time. Yun Qing Yan and the Yun clan tried to stop her but failed in the end.
After Ke’er’s death, Yun Qing Yan did not think Ke’er would successfully reincarnate since the chances were low. However, he later found out she succeeded because her cultivation base had reached a certain level. Initially, he decided not to force Ke’er to marry him. This was because she had lost her cultivation base after she reincarnated. However, his father told him that Ke’er would likely become even stronger than before due to her reincarnation. With this, his desire to marry Ke’er returned. When he met her and discovered that she not only had a husband but also a child, he was livid. In his eyes, the woman destined for him had been robbed from him. He would not have let her husband go at that time if she did not threaten him with her life.
