"Boom!"
After Stone Cold and Jian Chen left, Wen Tian Jun, who had been sitting quietly in the Wen Tian Temple, suddenly stood up.
A terrifying aura erupted from him, and the force radiated outward, shattering the table in front of him into pieces.
At this moment, Wen Tian Jun's expression was extremely cold, his presence frightening. A sharp glint shone in his eyes as he said, "The Ascension Token—this time, no matter what, I, Wen Tian Jun, must obtain one!"
There were a total of ten Ascension Tokens.
It was rumored that gathering all ten Ascension Tokens could unlock a mysterious immortal estate.
This estate was left behind by an immortal and contained their legacy and treasures.
An immortal's estate, an immortal's legacy, and treasures left by an immortal—who wouldn't want to possess them?
Wen Tian Jun was indeed the leader of the Heavenly Heart Sect.
Yet before the treasures of the immortals, he felt no resistance whatsoever.
According to the information Wen Tian Jun had received, within the million-mile radius surrounding Overseas Immortal Island, the Overlord forces held sway.
Both the White Jade Dragon Palace and Sky Edge Pavilion each possessed one Ascension Token.
The remaining tokens were said to be in the hands of some extremely terrifying entities.
Only he, Wen Tian Jun of the Heavenly Heart Sect, had not obtained one.
Thus, regarding the last remaining Ascension Token, Wen Tian Jun had been investigating relentlessly, never giving up.
Finally, just recently, one of his subordinates made an unexpected discovery.
This last Ascension Token had actually been accidentally acquired by a rogue cultivator.
That person was Ye Jiuchong.
So he sent someone to kill Ye Jiuchong.
They succeeded in killing him, but the whereabouts of the Ascension Token remained unknown.
This infuriated Wen Tian Jun.
He then dispatched people to investigate the Ye Clan Members at Heavenly River Mansion.
Wen Tian Jun was determined to obtain this last Ascension Token at all costs.
No one could stand in his way; anyone who did would be killed.
Outside Wen Tian Temple, Stone Cold flew directly down from the high peak.
Then, the figure came to a stop in the distant void.
Soon, Jian Chen, Mo Xuan, and Lin Ce caught up.
"Elder Shi," they said, cupping their fists in greeting as they halted upon seeing Stone Cold stop.
Stone Cold was an Inner Sect Elder.
In contrast, Jian Chen was an Elder of the Outer Sect.
The disparity in their statuses was immense, and Stone Cold's cultivation and strength were far beyond what Jian Chen could compare to.
He was a master at the Peak of the Great Achievement Stage.
Thus, even Jian Chen appeared very respectful in front of Stone Cold.
Stone Cold cast a cold glance at the three and said, "You all heard what the Sect Master said. If this matter is not handled well, not only will your lives be at stake, but I might also lose mine."
Upon hearing this, Jian Chen and the others nodded with grim expressions.
Stone Cold continued, "So now, tell me everything you know about the situation!"
From when Wen Tian Jun sent him the message until now, it had only been a matter of a few words.
Throughout the entire process, Wen Tian Jun had merely given him an order to retrieve the Ascension Token.
As for where the Ascension Token was located, who possessed it, and their identity—he knew nothing at all.
Jian Chen nodded with the others, then glanced back with a hint of trepidation and whispered, "Elder Shi, we will discuss it on the way."
"That's right. On the way, Elder Jian Chen and I will make sure to tell Elder Shi everything we know in detail," Mo Xuan and Lin Ce added.
Stone Cold snorted, choosing not to say more. He directly summoned his Flying Sword, which transformed into a beam of sword light and shot up into the sky.
"Let's go!" Jian Chen said to Mo Xuan and Lin Ce before immediately following suit.
As night fell, the moon shone brightly amidst the sparse stars.
Ye Fan's petite figure stood in the courtyard at that moment.
He appeared somewhat slender.
With his hands clasped behind his back, he stood in the courtyard like an old man, surveying his surroundings as thoughts began to swirl in his mind.
The Ye Family, being the foremost family of Heavenly River Mansion, occupied a vast estate with numerous clan members.
There were over a hundred direct descendants alone, all living within this place.
Ye Fan was lost in thought at that moment.
"Preparation is key. Although I'm not sure if the Heavenly Heart Sect will retaliate, I must be ready for anything," he murmured after a brief contemplation, making a swift decision.
Considering the size of the Ye Family estate, he planned to set up a super Great Formation, the Two Instruments of Life and Death Formation.
This would envelop the entire Ye Family within its bounds.
In this way, he wouldn't be caught off guard like last time when Jian Chen arrived, facing an unexpected sword strike without any preparation.
"Yes, the Two Instruments of Life and Death Formation it is! Life and death—if the Heavenly Heart Sect dares to attack again, those who do not breach the formation will live, while those who do will die," Ye Fan nodded lightly as he muttered to himself.
However, soon his brow furrowed in concern.
"Setting up the formation may be simple, but the materials required for it..."
Ye Fan shook his head, uncertain whether the Ye Family could provide enough materials.
"Young Master."
Suddenly, a clear voice broke through his thoughts.
Ye Fan turned around in surprise and exclaimed, "Qingling Sister."
Ye Qingling was someone he recognized well.
Though his memories had awakened, he had not forgotten the past.
In the past, Ye Qingling often played with Ye Fan.
She was quite indulgent.
However, after Ye Fan's memories awakened, everything changed drastically.
His strength was frighteningly powerful.
He was no longer the brat who followed behind Ye Qingling.
As a result, their relationship had become somewhat estranged during this time.
They hadn't played together in a while.
"Young Master, what are you mumbling about all by yourself?" Ye Qingling approached, holding a coat, and draped it over Ye Fan's shoulders.
Her gaze towards him was a mix of fear and curiosity.
Ye Fan smiled helplessly and said, "Qingling Sister, it's one thing for others to call me Young Master, but why are you calling me that too?"
"Is it unpleasant to call me Little Annoyance? Or is it just not appealing anymore?"
Little Annoyance was what Ye Qingling used to call Ye Fan.
"Little Annoyance... Ha!"
It had been a long time since she had called him that. Hearing the name suddenly made Ye Qingling burst into laughter.
But soon, she quickly covered her mouth with her hand.
Ye Fan frowned slightly and said, "Qingling Sister, what are you doing?"
Ye Qingling's expression was serious as she replied, "Young Master, you are different now. You are the hope of our Ye Family, the future of our clan."
"In the future, you will become an unparalleled powerhouse. How can I still call you 'Little Annoyance' like before?"
Hearing this, Ye Fan couldn't help but roll his eyes in exasperation. "Qingling Sister, that must be something Uncle Feng and my father told you, right?"
Ye Qingling nodded without denial. Suddenly, she looked at Ye Fan earnestly and said, "By the way, Young Master, Father told me today that those other families have made you a bit downcast."
"I didn't believe it at first, but now seeing you alone unable to sleep and staring blankly in the courtyard, looking gloomy, I believe it."
"Staring blankly? Gloomy?" Ye Fan looked at Ye Qingling with a confused expression, wanting to ask her how she figured that out.
Ye Qingling nodded and said, "Actually, Young Master, you really don’t need to feel unhappy. They took their daughters away; so what? They are just a bunch of kids. How could they possibly know how to take care of you?"
"My father said that from today on, I will be the one to serve you. I will be by your side every day."
Ye Fan felt increasingly uneasy as he listened to her words. Looking at Ye Qingling in disbelief, he asked, "You will serve me? Qingling Sister, are you serious?"
