"Who?"
Yan Jingyuan started, turning his head to look at where the voice came from.
Then he saw a young man with a cold face and indifferent eyes.
Ying Chen.
"It's you!"
"Hmph, it was you who ruined my plans back then. I didn't want to expose myself, so I let you go."
"Now that you've delivered yourself to my doorstep, I have no reason to let you go!"
"Die!"
Yan Jingyuan sneered.
Then he abruptly turned the Cold Crow Cries Destiny Plate towards Ying Chen.
Instantly, cold crows materialized in the void, like a dark cloud that blotted out the sky, surging towards Ying Chen in a dense swarm.
The terrifying fluctuations made the ground and sky tremble.
A subordinate of Yan Jingyuan, who was too close to Ying Chen, was merely touched by the flock of crows and instantly exploded into a pool of blood.
Seeing this, everyone present turned pale.
They all fled for their lives, trying to distance themselves from the terrifying flock.
Only Ying Chen stood still.
He quietly watched Yan Jingyuan, as if looking at a clown.
Yan Jingyuan's eyes flickered with mockery and madness: "Seeking your own death!"
But then something unexpected happened.
Ying Chen raised his hand and slowly beckoned towards the swarm of crows filling the sky.
The next second, the entire flock of crows, as if they were pets raised by Ying Chen, flew to him obediently, flapping their wings around Ying Chen in a fawning manner!
Not a single cold crow attacked Ying Chen!
"How is this possible?" Yan Jingyuan was dumbfounded.
He even felt the urge to rub his eyes and question if it was an illusion!
"Surprised?" Ying Chen glanced at Yan Jingyuan casually.
"Because the magical artifact you are using, I already used two thousand years ago!"
"In a sense, I am also half the master of this artifact!"
Boom!
Hearing Ying Chen's words, Yan Jingyuan suddenly seemed to understand something.
"It was you!"
"It was you!"
"You are the person in the prophecy!"
"You are the owner of the eight immortal bones beneath the altar!"
"No wonder you kept helping Min Ziqiong and hindering me! It turns out the daughter Min Ziqiong gave birth to is yours!"
Yan Jingyuan roared, unable to accept it.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Min Ziqiong was stunned.
Her eyes widened, and she stared at Yan Jingyuan in disbelief.
Then she looked at Ying Chen.
As if asking, "Is what Yan Jingyuan said true?"
Ying Chen nodded slowly: "I didn't know at first. I only understood after hearing what he had done."
"No wonder the foreign object in Nannan's brain, which is clearly not a fragment of my destiny artifact, can still display my destiny divine ability."
"No wonder Nannan's talent is so astonishing."
"No wonder Nannan could awaken me."
"It turns out it's all because Nannan is my flesh and blood!"
"What you touched at the altar were the eight root bones extracted from my body. Those eight root bones contained my strong vital energy and blood essence. Coupled with this guy's deliberate design, you naturally became pregnant..."
After hearing Ying Chen's explanation, Min Ziqiong's face changed drastically.
She never imagined that this matter would be so absurd yet real.
To the point where she still found it hard to accept!
Nannan was her daughter born from a remote connection with Ying Chen?
Min Ziqiong found it unbelievable no matter how she thought about it!
Ying Chen, however, did not have time to comfort Min Ziqiong. He looked at Yan Jingyuan coldly.
"Thank you for clearing up my doubts."
"As a reward, I will arrange a more dignified way for you to depart!"
"Ride the crane to the west!"
With that, Ying Chen pointed at Yan Jingyuan!
Instantly, the cold crows flew back towards Yan Jingyuan.
"No!" Yan Jingyuan screamed.
But he was immediately engulfed by the flock, and not a sound could be heard.
When the flock disappeared, only a withered skeleton stood in its place.
As the wind blew, it creaked and shattered, falling to the ground.
"Young Master!" Mishaka Ryuichi and the others cried out in pain when they saw Yan Jingyuan die so quickly, without even being able to resist.
"I almost forgot about you."
"You can all depart together!"
Ying Chen waved his hand again.
Then the flock of crows swept away, engulfing Mishaka Ryuichi and the others.
Mishaka Ryuichi, who had just become a Heavenly rank术法 master, passed away without even having time to enjoy the glory of his new rank.
"Let's go!"
"Other matters can be discussed later. The priority is to go to Zhang Daoling's underground palace and remove the Soul Locking Gu from Nannan's body."
Ying Chen glanced at Min Ziqiong and her daughter.
In fact, he hadn't figured out what attitude he should adopt towards the two of them.
So, he could only temporarily ignore it and let things take their course.
...
Inside Zhang Daoling's underground palace.
The people invited by Elder Dong were transporting the powder of the Ten Thousand Monster Terracotta figurines. This scene was seen by someone at the construction site, who immediately informed certain reporters.
The reporters smelled news value and, without any on-site investigation, published an article.
They accused Elder Dong and the other two of damaging the precious tomb of Zhang Daoling due to improper operations.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be secretly transporting large amounts of sand and soil.
This sand and soil was proof of the damage and collapse of Zhang Daoling's tomb!
Soon, the news spread, and Elder Dong and the other two were once again subjected to widespread criticism.
Elder Dong and Professor Li instantly understood what Wang Zizai meant by enduring public pressure.
However, it didn't matter. Once the Ten Thousand Monster Terracotta figurines were successfully recast and verified by carbon-14 dating, all those who had accused them would have to kneel before the three of them and sing praises!
"Mr. Ying?"
Suddenly, the three of them saw Ying Chen returning.
Along with Min Ziqiong, her daughter, Elder Guo, Master Gui, and others.
Ying Chen nodded without a word.
He directly took Nannan from Min Ziqiong's hands and walked into the underground palace.
Rumble!
The gate of the underground palace closed.
Sealing off everyone else.
Through the gap in the door, faint lights could be seen emanating from within the palace.
At the same time, clear bell sounds rang out one after another.
They rang twelve times in succession.
Then there was no more movement.
"Why is there no sound? Is Nannan in trouble?" Min Ziqiong asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, with Mr. Ying here, nothing will happen," Elder Guo comforted her.
However, Elder Guo himself seemed a little unsure.
Just as everyone was feeling uneasy, they suddenly heard Ying Chen's soft shout from inside: "Yuan Chen flow!"
"Remove!"
Not long after Ying Chen's soft shout, a voice reached everyone's ears.
The crowd was stunned for a moment, then almost jumped up with excitement!
"Daddy!"
It was Nannan who finally spoke, uttering the two words she had held back in her heart since meeting Ying Chen!
"Good... child."
Inside the underground palace, Ying Chen, who had never imagined he would be a father, looked at Nannan, feeling a bit lost.
He then embraced Nannan in his arms.
At this moment, the roof of the palace suddenly cracked.
The Twelve Yuan Chen Xuan Yin Bells had exhausted their power and shattered!
However, in the shimmering light of the shattering, a graceful figure vaguely appeared.
The figure looked down at Ying Chen on the ground, a faint smile on her lips: "My good disciple, I will wait for you in the next era."
Then the figure dissipated and vanished.
"Master?" Ying Chen looked at the figure, as if struck by lightning.
