Chapter 4148: Chapter 4148: Trial (First Update)

"Hm, how can you be sure this boy isn’t getting close to you just for the Bloodline Origin, disguising his identity to join the Dead Spirit Hall?"

Seeing Qiao Lan so naive, Qing Wanji said coldly.

"Hall Master, this is impossible. Ye Chen didn’t want to join the Dead Spirit Hall initially. It was my repeated invitations that convinced him; how could it be for the Bloodline Origin."

Qiao Lan looked into Qing Wanji’s eyes, asserting seriously.

"What do you know!"

Qing Wanji didn’t care at all about Qiao Lan’s words, but he stared at Ye Chen with a chilling gaze.

"Boy, how do you prove that you didn’t come for the Bloodline Origin."

"I can’t prove it."

Ye Chen looked at Qing Wanji indifferently, then said, "However, since the Dead Spirit Hall doesn’t want me to join, I will leave. If it weren’t for Miss Qiao Lan’s repeated invitations, I wouldn’t have come."

Facing Qing Wanji, Ye Chen remained neither humble nor arrogant, without a trace of fear, his demeanor extremely cold.

Seeing Ye Chen’s performance, Qing Wanji’s eyes flickered. Indeed, such a person suited the Dead Spirit Hall, and Ye Chen’s killing intent was so intense and substantial that it even startled him, as if he had a deep-seated blood feud with this world.

"Hmph, do you think you can come and go at will from my Dead Spirit Hall?"

Even though he felt Ye Chen suited the Dead Spirit Hall, Qing Wanji wasn’t going to be careless. He slapped the seat, suddenly stood up, emanating killing intent, as if intending to suppress Ye Chen directly.

"Hall Master!"

Witnessing this scene, Qiao Lan became anxious. Ye Chen was invited by her, and if harm befell him because of her father, her heart would feel uncomfortable.

At this moment, Qiao Lan quickly said, "Chen Ye truly didn’t come for the Bloodline Origin; I can vouch for him."

"Your testimony is worthless!"

Qing Wanji suddenly shouted angrily, pointing at Qiao Lan, "Shut your mouth now, or you’ll be sent to the Dead Spirit Abyss for three months in seclusion!"

Hearing about the Dead Spirit Abyss, Qiao Lan’s expression changed slightly. It’s the most terrifying existence in the Dead Spirit Hall, asking her to stay in seclusion for three months would be worse than just killing her.

Qiao Lan knew Qing Wanji’s temperament best, even if she was his daughter, he would do as he said.

Qiao Lan helplessly shut her mouth, giving Ye Chen a look of love without help.

At this moment, Qing Wanji glanced at Ye Chen, his killing intent so concentrated it transformed into a chilling glow, making Ye Chen feel piercing cold where he was being watched.

"Boy, do you wish to live or die?"

Hearing these words, Ye Chen didn’t hesitate at all, directly stating, "Of course, I want to live."

"Good, since you want to live, I can give you a chance."

Qing Wanji’s cold gaze extended his hand, holding a jade talisman within his palm, surrounded by mighty divine presence and endless Hongmeng Energy along with a mysterious aura, given by Xuan Jiyue.

Staring at the jade talisman in Qing Wanji’s palm, Ye Chen’s facade showed no reaction, though his heart suddenly tightened.

The mysterious aura on the jade talisman, Qing Wanji might be unaware of its nature, but Ye Chen knew it well; that was precisely Reincarnation Qi.

Seeing this jade talisman and Reincarnation Qi, Ye Chen was completely sure, the Bloodline Origin appearing in the Dead Spirit Hall must be related to Xuan Jiyue, otherwise how would Qing Wanji hold such a talisman and use it to test him.

"Boy, do you dare to inject your spiritual energy into this jade talisman?"

Qing Wanji looked at Ye Chen, who showed no flaws, merely eyeing the jade talisman suspiciously, narrowed his eyes and spoke.

Actually, according to Xuan Jiyue’s words, the jade talisman would flicker if someone suspicious approached, and Ye Chen’s arrival didn’t trigger its reaction. Logically, Qing Wanji should be more relaxed towards Ye Chen.

But Qing Wanji was naturally suspicious. Even if the jade talisman showed Ye Chen had no issues, he decided to be cautious, hence asking Ye Chen to inject spiritual energy into the talisman.

In doing so, even if Ye Chen concealed his aura to block his own and the talisman’s perception, injecting spiritual energy would leave nowhere to hide, and if the talisman didn’t flicker, it confirmed Ye Chen indeed had no problems.

Looking at the jade talisman, Ye Chen kept calm outwardly, but internally he was extremely tense. Even if the Eternal Sacred King’s altar effect was superb, fully concealing his reincarnation bloodline and aura, injecting spiritual energy into the talisman, Ye Chen wasn’t sure if his identity would be exposed.

If exposed, within Qing Wanji’s base in the Dead Spirit Hall, Ye Chen would surely die.

In such a crisis, Ye Chen couldn’t act too hesitant, which would make Qing Wanji more suspicious, and could only grit his teeth and walk forward.

"Why wouldn’t I dare?"

Ye Chen nonchalantly said, while extending his hand, calmly injecting spiritual energy into the jade talisman.

At this moment, Ye Chen, Qing Wanji, and standing by Qiao Lan, all stared intently at the jade talisman.

Under the gaze of the three, they saw spiritual energy continuously injected into the jade talisman without causing any fluctuation, and Ye Chen’s tense heart finally settled.

Qiao Lan showed a look of joy, while Qing Wanji surveyed Ye Chen’s expressions for any subtle changes but found nothing unusual, nodding slightly in acknowledgment.

"Very good, you’ve proven you have no issues."

Qing Wanji casually retracted the jade talisman and spoke.

"I told you, Chen Ye absolutely didn’t come for the Bloodline Origin; he’s here for Dishi Tian."

Qiao Lan appeared smiling, proudly speaking, as if pleased with her judgment.

"Dishi Tian?"

Upon hearing this, Qing Wanji grew solemn, looking towards Qiao Lan.

"Yes, Chen Ye has a deep-seated blood feud with Dishi Tian, wanting revenge, hence agreeing to join the Dead Spirit Hall."

Qiao Lan explained, recounting Ye Chen’s narration about Gao Wuyang’s cultivation of evil techniques and other matters, informing Qing Wanji as they were.

Hearing Qiao Lan’s words, Qing Wanji was quite surprised, not expecting Ye Chen, though not strong, to harbor ambitious aspirations to avenge Dishi Tian.

Indeed, such a person suits the Dead Spirit Hall, living for Slaughter, with formidable enemies, destined to break through along the way, growing stronger.

However, presently, Qing Wanji solemnly stared at Ye Chen, still not permitting Ye Chen to join the Dead Spirit Hall.

"To avenge Dishi Tian, your talent remains to be assessed. Killing Gao Wuyang alone doesn’t prove you have the capability to challenge Dishi Tian."

Qing Wanji contemplated, then continued, "So, you need to undergo a test, to prove your qualifications to become a truly powerful assassin capable of avenging Dishi Tian!"

Hearing this, Ye Chen’s eyes flashed with cold light, surging with boundless hatred, directly saying, "I accept the test!"

"In that case, I give you three days to find Ghost Shadow, kill him, and prove you’re qualified to join the Dead Spirit Hall."

Qing Wanji gazed coldly, his killing intent soaring, imperiously stating.
