Chapter Fifteen: Exchanging Pelts

  "Is it heavy???"

  Ye Lin looked at the Tianlong Guard Captain who had fallen to the ground, unable to get up. He remembered very clearly that this was the person who had followed Ye Chong closely when he led Shangguan Feixue into his courtyard and forced him to cancel his engagement with Shangguan Wan'er.

  At this point, Ye Lin had a general impression of the traitor in the Ye family.

  But because of this, he is indeed somewhat unbelievable.

  Ye Chong is the current supreme ruler of the Ye family, if even he were to betray them, Ye Lin couldn't bear to imagine how severe the consequences would be.

  To know, the establishment of the Tianlong Society was to destroy the Ye family and deal with Father Ye Yunfei. If even the current highest ruler of the Ye family joins the Tianlong Society, what hope is left for the entire Ye family?

  "Huh? The entire Ye family's high-rise building has been mysteriously closed off for three years, could there be some connection between this and that?"

  Suddenly, Ye Lin thought of a very frightening possibility, that the highest ruler of the Ye family would be Ye Chong. The most important reason was that three years ago, all the warriors above the Qi Refining stage in the entire Ye family had followed the patriarch to retreat on one night, and the entire Ye family had only Ye Chong appointed as the second elder, with full control over the Ye family.

  It wasn't until now, after everything has been connected, that Ye Lin discovered a terrifying result: the entire Ye family was likely breached by the Tianlong Society three years ago. Otherwise, why would all the strong practitioners of the Ye family who were above the Qi Refining stage suddenly choose to go into seclusion, leaving only Ye Chong behind?

  It's probably because three years ago, all the high-ranking members of the Ye family were framed and trapped by Ye Chong. Therefore, to avoid arousing suspicion among the lower-ranking members of the Ye family, Ye Chong announced that the clan leaders had collectively gone into seclusion.

  But if it were really so, they would have achieved their goal three years ago. Why would they still want to continue maintaining and disguising?

  Suddenly, Ye Lin thought of another incomprehensible question in his heart, that is, if his hypothesis was true, then the Ye family had long been destroyed, and the purpose of the Tianlong Society had already been achieved. Then why would they still want to let the Ye family continue?

  Isn't the purpose of the Tianlong Society to destroy the Ye family?

  It's all because of Father, they're all here for Father. The Tenryu Society is mainly after Father. Only the Ye family remains, and with them around, there's a chance that Father, who has been missing for six years, might reappear again.

  Yes, it must be so.

  Thinking of this, Ye Lin's eyes turned black and his heart ached unbearably.

  Although he was a master of the previous generation, sweeping through various casinos, at that time, he was only in his early twenties. It can be said that he had just walked out of the orphanage. When he was truly shot by the black gun two years ago, Ye Lin was still playing in the orphanage. Although he was a great master of Tai Chi, his strength was powerful, but all this could not change his desire for family in his heart.

  In this life, his wish was fulfilled, and he was filled with excitement in his heart. Even when looking at Ye Yunfei's determination to guard the family until death, his heart was full of admiration, and he made a vow to protect the family for his father.

  But now, he was told that the family that his father had guarded with his life and he himself had vowed to protect might have already been destroyed. What he saw now might all be just an illusion, a scam set up to deal with his father. Suddenly, Ye Lin's eyes went dark and he couldn't take this blow.

  However, he was a Taiji master in his past life, with an extremely firm will. Soon, he stabilized his emotions and said, "If that's the case, Ye Chong, I must make you unable to live or die."

  Revenge was the first thought in Ye Lin's mind, and it was revenge.

  However, he forced himself to calm down and not mention his own strength. If he didn't reveal some of his trump cards, just the surface-level strength of a Three-Heaven Refiner would be extremely difficult for even the Ye family's clan gathering in over a month, let alone dealing with Ye Zhong who had already reached the peak of Qi Refining.

  "There's also Ye Fan, who is the most talented member of the Ye family in 3,000 years, with imperial blood that appears only once in tens of thousands of years. If he were to betray his father as well, it would be a tremendous loss for the Ye family that they wouldn't be able to bear for a thousand years."

  Ye Lin himself knew his own affairs, and all of his talents came from his magical divine eyes. However, when it came to cultivation talent, he had a mere mortal bloodline, which was incomparable to Ye Fan's imperial bloodline, the difference being as vast as ten million eight thousand miles.

  If the Ye family had Ye Fan, even if the Ye family really suffered this disaster, but as long as Ye Fan didn't die, then the day of the Ye family's rise would absolutely not be far.

  "But if Ye Fan also betrays us, then he must die!"

  For enemies, it is necessary to resolutely eliminate them, absolutely cannot show mercy. No matter how good the talent is, if they are not of one mind, they can only bring disaster.

  "Hmm, never mind, no matter what the outcome is, I must quickly improve my strength, otherwise, even the best plan would be useless."

  Ye Lin thought to himself that if he had the powerful strength of Tie Bei Xian Long Shou, he wouldn't be so troubled and could have simply slapped Tian Long Wei Dui to death with one palm.

  "Hmm, any warrior must never be careless, otherwise, it's very likely that they will follow in the footsteps of Tie Bei Xian Long Shou."

  Thinking of Tie Bei Xian Long Shou, Ye Lin kept a god in his heart, everything must be done with great care, to leave three points for himself as a bottom card, to prevent the enemy from suddenly rising up or to prevent unexpected events from happening.

  The strength of the Iron-Backed Sword Dragon Beast was absolutely terrifying, one against nine, and the nine Great Heavenly Dragon Guards didn't have a single chance to counterattack.

  But in the end, wasn't it still being defeated by the other party's trump card and annihilated without any chance of fighting back?

  But here, it left Ye Lin with a start.

  "Hmm, the Iron-Backed Sword Dragon Beast is a rare monster of the Threefold Triple Refining level. Its internal energy is abundant enough to restore the Purple Extreme Heaven Fire in my Dantian."

  Facing the Iron-backed Sword Dragon Beast, Ye Lin opened his mouth and sucked in, swallowing the entire enormous creature of the Iron-backed Sword Dragon Beast in one gulp.

  Ye Lin began to focus his mind and practice his fist technique, instantly, the entire mountain forest was filled with strong winds, dragon roars echoed repeatedly, the dragon's power shook the surrounding area within a radius of ten miles, and no more ferocious beasts dared to enter. However, in the distance, the howling of ferocious beasts continued unabated.

  This practice, from noon till night, the whole day has passed.

  Ahhhhh!!!

  Ye Lin let out a loud roar, his majestic aura spreading in all directions, the wind pressure overwhelming the forest.

  "Ah, I've finally reached the Blood Refining Realm."

  Originally, after breaking through the Refining Muscle Boundary, it would be cultivating the Five Organs. However, since the Purple Extreme Heaven Fire has not yet taken shape and does not possess the ability to return to its origin, Ye Lin chose to start with exchanging blood for cultivation in order to develop long-term.

  A ring of light flashed on his hand, and a still-beating heart was grasped in Yelin's palm.

  "This is a Long Beast's heart at its most refined peak, and once I refine this heart, I will be able to change my blood for the first time."

  Blood change, for Ye Lin, is of great significance. He will soon enter the Dragon Valley, and not to mention that after the blood change, his cultivation speed will greatly increase. Simply entering the Dragon Valley will bring numerous benefits. The Dragon Valley is extremely xenophobic, and any creature without the dragon's aura will be hunted down by all the dragon beasts in the valley.

  In the past, Ye Lin just wanted to let some dragon aura emanate from his body's Dragon Elephant Origin, but the Dragon Elephant Origin was too high-level. If the aura were to emanate out, it would very likely attract the attention of some extremely powerful individuals.

  But if he were to obtain the Dragon's Blood, things would be different. After all, it was only an initial blood exchange, and even if successful, the dragon's bloodline wouldn't be too strong. In the Dragon's Valley, he would still be at the bottom, but it also wouldn't trigger a complete rejection from the entire valley. It was truly a win-win situation.

  Most importantly, Ye Lin's physical body of billions of cells has already been infused with the Dragon Elephant Origin, and has changed from the most fundamental genetic level, making Ye Lin's physical body stronger and stronger. As long as he possesses sufficient Divine Dragon Qi and Divine Dragon Blood, it can even allow Ye Lin to evolve a true dragon from every single cell, allowing each cell of Ye Lin's physical body to possess the power of a true dragon.

  It can be said that as long as he has enough dragon energy and dragon blood, Ye Lin has become a legendary figure who can dominate the world with his own flesh, but correspondingly, that dragon energy and dragon blood will also be absolutely massive and immeasurable.

  "Refine it!"

  Ye Lin swallowed the entire heart into his body in one gulp.

  A strong person at the peak of refinement is indeed terrifying. A heart that has lost its owner and entered Lin's body actually wants to take root in Ye Lin's body. However, what Ye Lin's body fears the least is this kind of divine dragon aura treasure. From Ye Lin's body, a one-zhang high purple extreme heavenly fire erupted, and the sound of a dragon's roar came from within.

  Suddenly, the heaven and earth's primal energy fluctuated wildly, and the entire heaven and earth's primal energy surged towards Ye Lin's physical body.

  But Ye Lin's physical body is about to break through and needs a huge amount of energy, borrowing the power of the Dragon Heart to absorb the vast primordial energy of heaven and earth.

  A low humming noise came from Ye Lin's physical body.

  But it was Ye Lin's physical body that finally broke through, and instantly, a burst of crimson light emanated from Ye Lin's physical body.

  "Vibrant red glow, huh, not bad, finally broke through."

  The colors of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple, not only reflect the intensity of blood vessels, but also in other aspects, such as the physical body of Ye Lin, which follows this changing rule.

  And now Ye Lin's physical body has entered the first transformation of the crimson red light stage.

  Most importantly, after entering the first transformation, Ye Lin's physical body was like a divine dragon shedding its skin, and it actually shed a layer of dead skin from his body. However, after being burned by the Zi Ji Tian fire, nothing was left behind.

  Similarly, the blood vein power in Ye Lin's physical body has also changed from light red to dark red, and even emits a faint orange glow.
