Chapter 866: Sealed Here
"Xue Wei, do you think these people are enough to trap us?" Ye Qingchen responded coldly, despite being at a disadvantage, his gaze still unyielding.
Xue Wei chuckled lightly, shaking his head nonchalantly, "Ye Qingchen, you’re overestimating yourself."
He slowly extended his hand and took out a glowing red Crystal Stone from his chest. The stone emitted a powerful Energy Fluctuation, seemingly containing infinite power.
"Do you know what this is? The Clan’s Guardian Stone!" Xue Wei raised the Crystal Stone, his face full of confidence and pride, "Its power can completely seal you in this Snowfield, making escape impossible."
His words carried an undeniable authority, as if the Clan’s Guardian Stone was the ultimate weapon that decided everything.
The surrounding disciples of the Xue Family also showed expressions of admiration and awe, as if they were witnessing a supreme Divine Artifact.
"The Clan’s Guardian Stone? The Jiang Ancient Clan’s Clan’s Guardian Stone? How could it be in his hands!"
Xue Zhao’s gaze sharpened, evidently aware of this Crystal Stone, she gripped her weapon tighter, her expression growing increasingly tense.
Ye Qingchen felt a sudden weight in his heart when he heard about the Jiang Ancient Clan.
No wonder, no wonder the Demonic Qi from Wu Chang earlier felt so familiar!
"Exactly." Xue Wei explained with a cold laugh, "The Clan’s Guardian Stone can not only seal your powers, but it can also trap your souls and bodies forever in this Snowfield. No matter how powerful you are, you cannot escape its grasp."
As he spoke, Xue Wei flicked his finger softly, causing the light from the Clan’s Guardian Stone to suddenly flare up, the red light forming a screen enveloping Ye Qingchen and Xue Zhao.
The powerful Sealing Power pressed down on them, causing a suffocating sensation that was hard to resist.
Ye Qingchen stared intently at Xue Wei, his eyes flickering with anger.
At this time, confrontation was not an option.
The combined strength of Xue Wei and the Clan’s Guardian Stone was not something they could handle.
If they really confronted head-on, they might truly be sealed here.
Ye Qingchen took a deep breath, suppressing his inner turmoil, his voice deep and strong: "Xue Wei, for the so-called Saint Position, you would even harm your own kin. Truly despicable."
Upon hearing this, Xue Wei’s lips curled into a chilling smile, his eyes becoming even colder, devoid of any warmth. He raised his head, displaying profound disdain and contempt in his eyes.
"Despicable?" Xue Wei sneered, his voice low and mocking, "Ye Qingchen, you’re truly naive. For the Saint Position, I can do anything. Kin? They’re just tools. As long as I achieve my goal, who cares about them?"
His words didn’t carry a shred of remorse, instead, they were filled with cold and ruthless calculation.
Xue Wei’s eyes were sharp like ice daggers, revealing deep conspiracy and cold-bloodedness.
"The Xue Family needs a strong leader, and I am that strongest person." Xue Wei continued, his tone full of absolute confidence and arrogance, "For this goal, I’m willing to sacrifice anything, even my kin. Those incapable individuals only hinder the family’s development, their existence is superfluous."
Ye Qingchen heard these words, his anger growing increasingly intense. He grasped his Longsword tightly, his eyes blazing like fire.
"Xue Wei, someone like you is not fit to talk about strength. Your so-called power is built upon countless kin’s blood and tears!"
"Strength?" Xue Wei snorted coldly, his gaze icy, "Only the outcome matters, the process and means are irrelevant. You foolish people don’t understand what true power is."
Xue Wei’s face displayed a sinister look, his voice low and eerie, "Ye Qingchen, Xue Zhao, do you think a bit of strength can change anything? Against absolute power, all resistance is futile."
His words carried deep coldness and ruthlessness, as if in his eyes, everyone’s life was insignificant, and any sacrifice was worth it to achieve his goals.
Ye Qingchen and Xue Zhao felt the icy killing intent and absolute control emanating from Xue Wei, causing them to shiver internally.
The man before them was completely consumed by power and ambition, turning into a cold-blooded demon.
"Xue Wei, people like you will eventually face the consequences." Xue Zhao said angrily, her gaze filled with disdain and resentment.
"Face consequences?" Xue Wei laughed contemptuously, his gaze icy, "Once I gain the Saint Position, the entire Xue Family will tremble at my feet. Who would dare to say otherwise then?"
His words were full of arrogance and confidence, as if he was already envisioning himself reaching the pinnacle of power.
Ye Qingchen and Xue Zhao, though angry at heart, also understood that the current situation was exceedingly unfavorable for them.
They needed to stay calm and find an opportunity to strike back.
Ye Qingchen’s gaze was sharp, his brows slightly furrowed, he asked coldly, "Xue Wei, if you aim for the Saint Position, I’m just a foreigner. Why target me?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Wei smiled faintly, his eyes flashing slyly and coldly. He spoke slowly, "Ye Qingchen, you’re really naive. You think being a foreigner means it’s unrelated? Wrong, Jiang Qi wants you dead."
Ye Qingchen felt a shock in his heart, his gaze becoming fiercer, "So it’s him!"
It seems the two have long been collaborating.
He should have been more vigilant!
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have succeeded now!
"Exactly." Xue Wei’s smile grew more cold, he raised the Clan’s Guardian Stone, its icy blue light shimmering again, "To claim your life, Jiang Qi even lent me the Clan’s Guardian Stone. So, you must die."
After he spoke, the light from the Clan’s Guardian Stone suddenly intensified, like a cold sun, its light penetrating the air, emitting a strong oppressive force.
The force seemed tangible, pushing Ye Qingchen and Xue Zhao back a step.
"Ye Qingchen, your existence is Jiang Qi’s heartache, he certainly won’t let you live." Xue Wei continued, his tone containing a hint of pride and contempt, "And I’m just going with the flow. Killing you not only removes Jiang Qi’s major concern, but also further supports my Saint Position."
Xue Zhao suddenly remembered something, her eyes flashing a gleam. She quickly turned to Ye Qingchen and said, "Ye Qingchen, I’ve thought of it, we don’t need to worry. While the Clan’s Guardian Stone is powerful, to seal people in this Secret Realm, someone of considerable strength must exert force from outside. But in the Xue Family, no one will support Xue Wei from outside."
Ye Qingchen heard this, a glimmer of hope flickering in his eyes.
Though the Sealing Power of the Clan’s Guardian Stone is strong, if there is no outside cooperation, its power cannot be fully wielded.
They only need to deal with Xue Wei!
Looking at the current situation, it isn’t as severe as it seems.
