Chapter 31: Great Dao Oath, Sowing Discord Failed
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The thought made Patriarch Yuwen curse the Supreme Grand Patriarch in his heart.
'Damn.'
Patriarch Shentu had a fragile mentality. With just a few words from Ye Zhen, he had already started to waver.
He was furious.
Originally, by joining forces with Patriarch Shentu and killing Ye Zhen, he could then make a move on Patriarch Shentu, and he would have been able to monopolize the Grand Emperor's Blood Essence and the Ye family's resources.
After Ye Zhen's words, not only would he have to give up the Grand Emperor's Blood Essence, he would even have to give up 40% of the Ye family's resources.
Patriarch Yuwen sighed heavily and tried to calm his anger.
Patriarch Yuwen looked at Patriarch Shentu and said, "Brother Shentu, I have never thought of this. I think you have misunderstood me."
Patriarch Shentu's mouth twitched.
Whether or not he had misunderstood, only Patriarch Yuwen would know.
How would he know what Patriarch Yuwen was thinking?
Fortunately, Ye Zhen had reminded him. Otherwise, he would have easily fallen into a trap.
Patriarch Shentu said, "Brother Yuwen, of course I believe you. However, Ye Zhen's words are not completely unreasonable. What do you think, Brother Yuwen? "
Now that Patriarch Shentu had reacted, he would not be so easily fooled by Patriarch Yuwen.
"Brother Shentu, everything Ye Zhen said was to sow discord. Why don't we wait until you and I kill him before we talk about it in detail?" Patriarch Yuwen was still unwilling to give up.
Patriarch Shentu chuckled.
From the looks of it, Patriarch Yuwen was really interested in the Shentu family.
Furthermore, judging from what Patriarch Yuwen was saying, he must have taken him as a fool.
Although he was not proficient in scheming, he was still the patriarch of a top family and he would not be easily fooled.
"Brother Yuwen, if you can not show any sincerity, I will probably lean towards the Ye family."
Now that Patriarch Yuwen had already set his sights on the Shentu family, it would be better to just rely on the Ye family.
The Ye family was not only the most powerful among the five top families, but also the one with the best reputation.
Almost all the families would consider the Ye family first if they were to work with the Yuwen family or the Ye family.
The Shentu family was no exception.
The Ye family's promise was to be stronger than the Yuwen family.
It was no longer a matter of the family's strength, it was a matter of how the family did things.
The difference between the Ye family and the Yuwen family was obvious.
With a fake smile on his face, Patriarch Yuwen suppressed his anger and said, "Brother Shentu, I was the one who came to you first. How could I attack your family? It seems that Brother Shentu still does not trust me."
"Since Brother Shentu does not trust me, I am willing to swear a Great Dao Oath to guarantee that I will not attack the Shentu family."
As he said this, his heart was bleeding.
There was no hope of seizing the blood essence for himself anymore.
With only half of the blood essence, he could at most become a Semi-Grand Emperor, which was far from what he hoped for.
The blood essence of a Grand Emperor could only be used to its full potential when it was complete.
If it was missing even a little, it would lose the effect of vindicating Dao to the Grand Emperor realm.
Furthermore, half of the Grand Emperor's Blood Essence had been taken away by the Patriarch Shentu, so it was even less effective.
A Great Dao Oath?
When he heard that Patriarch Yuwen wanted to make a Great Dao Oath, Patriarch Shentu's eyes immediately lit up.
A Great Dao Oath wasn't something that could be casually made.
Once a cultivator made a Great Dao Oath, he would be struck by the divine lighting of the Great Dao if he broke the oath.
In the end, both his body and soul would be destroyed!
It seemed like Patriarch Yuwen really wanted Ye Zhen dead.
At the same time, if Patriarch Yuwen swore a Great Dao Oath, he could continue working with the Yuwen family.
Patriarch Shentu cleared his throat and said, "Brother Yuwen, if you were to make a Great Dao Oath, I would naturally believe you."
It would be best if the relationship with the Yuwen family could continue. It was not a good idea to work with Ye Zhen to turn against the Yuwen family and kill them instead.
Furthermore, Patriarch Shentu was still very interested in half of the Grand Emperor's Blood Essence.
Patriarch Shentu estimated that by absorbing half of the blood essence of a Grand Emperor, he could at least become a Semi-Grand Emperor.
One had to know that the complete blood essence of a Grand Emperor could allow an ordinary person to become a Seventh-grade Grand Emperor without any hindrance!
If he wanted to break through to the Semi-Grand Emperor realm, half of the blood essence was more than enough.
Seeing that Patriarch Shentu had agreed, Patriarch Yuwen immediately shouted into the void.
"I, Yuwen Huakong, swear an oath of the Great Dao today. If I attack the Shentu family or Shentu Yan, I will be struck by the divine thunder of the Great Dao. My body and soul will be destroyed. The Yuwen family and I will disappear in the river of time. I hope the Great Dao can bear witness to this!"
After Patriarch Yuwen finished speaking, golden divine runes appeared out of thin air. It was the Great Dao Oath that Patriarch Yuwen had made.
As for Yuwen Huakong and Shentu Yan, they were the names of Patriarch Yuwen and Patriarch Shentu respectively.
As Patriarch Yuwen fulfilled his promise, Patriarch Shentu nodded his head in satisfaction.
He would be able to set his mind at ease after Patriarch Yuwen swore the Great Dao Oath.
The Supreme Grand Patriarch felt a headache after hearing Patriarch Yuwen's Great Dao Oath.
He had originally thought that Patriarch Shentu was going to betray Patriarch Yuwen, but who knew that Patriarch Yuwen would directly swear a Great Dao Oath.
Now, it was impossible for Patriarch Shentu to betray him.
Seeing that his plan to sow discord had failed, the Supreme Grand Patriarch took a deep breath.
Now that his spiritual energy was almost drained, he would have to fight to the death.
Even if he died today, he had to drag these two to hell with him.
Otherwise, it would be too much of a loss.
In his era, he had always been suppressing Patriarch Yuwen and Patriarch Shentu.
Today, he was actually forced to this state by the two of them, which was embarrassing.
He had to take the two of them away before he could close his eyes in peace.
Furthermore, the younger generation of the Ye family had been killed by the Yuwen family.
He had even less regrets.
After reaching an accord with himself, the Supreme Grand Patriarch looked at the two of them calmly.
Patriarch Yuwen turned to the Supreme Grand Patriarch and said, "Ye Zhen, you didn't expect me to take a Great Dao Oath, did you? You're going to die today! Even if I can't become a Grand Emperor you can forget about it!"
Patriarch Yuwen was furious.
"There's no point in talking, I'll kill you today," the Supreme Grand Patriarch said calmly.
Patriarch Yuwen laughed.
"Kill me? What do you have it takes to kill me? Your spiritual energy should be drained by now, right? Use as many killing moves as you have."
The Supreme Grand Patriarch sighed helplessly and said, "You said it yourself."
In the next moment, the Supreme Grand Patriarch's Ninth-grade Pre-Emperor aura started to rise.
