Chapter 2604 You're Really Bad

Huang Lao's words left the elders of the Tianling Clan completely bewildered.

They seemed to have grasped something, yet also seemed to have understood nothing at all; each of them stared wide-eyed at Old Huang.

Under the watchful eyes of the others, Old Huang grinned and looked at the glaring Spirit Ancestor.

At this moment, Lingzu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and the more he looked like this, the more contemptuous Huang Lao became.

"You guys are stupid and won't admit it. You still haven't figured out the key point. No wonder you've been manipulated by others for so many years."

"Who in the entire Heavenly Spirit Clan could do this so quietly?"

Ok? ? ?

If the elders of the Heavenly Spirit Clan still don't understand after all this has been said, they might as well go and kill themselves.

One by one, people stared in horror at the Spirit Ancestor lying on the ground.

After all, among the entire Celestial Spirit Clan, it seems that only the Spirit Ancestor, besides them, could accomplish this.

But this…………………………

My heart is filled with disbelief. Why would the Spirit Ancestor do this?

He is the Spirit Ancestor of the Heavenly Spirit Clan, undoubtedly the number one, and all his clansmen are his descendants. Why would he take away the innate spiritual veins of his clansmen?

"Spirit Ancestor, why?"

Faced with Ling Yunyi's grandfather's question, Ling Zu remained silent, showing no intention of answering, and simply played dead.

However, the more he acted this way, the more suspicious it became; wasn't it obvious that he had something to hide?

In fact, these ancestors of the Celestial Spirit Clan may have already guessed something, but they were simply unwilling to admit it from the bottom of their hearts.

However, Elder Huang showed no politeness whatsoever, saying, "I am not one of your Heavenly Spirit Clan."

He said it without any politeness.

"No wonder Changqing and Xu said you're a wicked old man."

Actually, when these spiritual veins were found from the Sea God, Elder Huang didn't think much of it, after all, these were the spiritual veins of the Heavenly Spirit Clan.

The Celestial Spirit Clan has always been entangled with those lesser beings in ambiguous and unclear ways; who knows what kind of tricks they're up to?

However, during their casual conversation, Ye Changqing and Xu Jie's wild guesses actually made more and more sense.

First of all, these spiritual veins were clearly removed intentionally, and only a section of them was removed, without being uprooted.

It can be said that it does not pose a major problem for normal cultivation. The only thing that is affected is that one will never be able to reach the realm of the strongest in this world.

But for ordinary people, this is nothing at all.

Even without this incident, how many people out of billions could break through to become the strongest in the world?

It had no impact, yet some people still wanted to take action in secret. Not only was it a lot of work, but it seemed like there was no benefit to be gained. This was obviously impossible.

At this point in the analysis, almost all the problems point to the same person, and that person is the Spirit Ancestor.

He was previously injured and on the verge of death, barely clinging to life. In this life, let alone make any further progress, it would be a miracle if his cultivation level didn't continue to decline.

As the only strongest member of the Spirit Clan in this era, although it sounds a bit far-fetched, it is the most reasonable statement.

Lingzu was worried that the emergence of a second supreme power in the world within his clan would shake his own position.

Therefore, over the years, he has secretly taken a section of the spiritual veins from the bodies of the clan members who were born one after another.

As for why it ended up in the hands of those small fry, that's probably some kind of deal between this old guy and those sea gods.

Even Xu Jie guessed that the old guy's ability to live to this day and forcibly maintain the strongest cultivation level in the world was probably inseparable from those small fry.

The specific methods used are unknown.

Upon hearing Elder Huang's analysis, the ancestors of the Heavenly Spirit Clan were dumbfounded.

The group looked at Lingzu in disbelief. Although these were all Huang Lao's own guesses and one-sided statements, he had not yet presented any evidence.

But whether Old Huang had any evidence or not, those old guys knew perfectly well.

Since the Spirit Ancestor went into seclusion, the Heavenly Spirit Clan has had a new tradition.

Every newborn baby had to be sent to the Spirit Ancestor, supposedly for blessings.

It didn't take long, only about fifteen minutes to half an hour.

However, during this time, apart from the spirit ancestor and the babies who were praying for blessings, there was no one else present.

Even their clan elders had to avoid it.

I didn't think much of it before, after all, according to the Spirit Ancestor, this was for the good of the clansmen.

Moreover, after the prayers, the clansmen did not notice anything unusual, and the babies remained as lively and energetic as ever.

Over time, this practice gradually became the norm, and no one gave it much thought.

But now, with Elder Huang bringing it up, there are indeed quite a few doubts. Moreover, with the Spirit Ancestor's strength, a quarter of an hour would be more than enough.

Therefore, without Huang Lao saying much, these ancestors of the Tianling Clan already had their own judgment.

That's why he looked at the Spirit Ancestor with such shock and disbelief, his heart filled with complex emotions.

You are the highest-ranking person in my Heavenly Spirit Clan. The entire clan respects and fears you.

Given the current situation, why do such a thing?

Faced with the gazes and inquiries of the clan's elders, the Spirit Ancestor remained silent, only lowering his head quietly.

Seeing this, Elder Huang continued to speak.

"What's the point of not speaking now? You have no class at all."

"Alright, I don't have time for your trivial matters. I'm here with only one question: are you willing to surrender, you old geezer?"

Elder Huang wasn't particularly interested in the dirty deeds of the Celestial Spirit Clan. For a clan leader to go to such lengths, it could only mean that the Spirit Ancestor was a "talent." As for the Celestial Spirit Clan, they were incredibly unlucky, having their ancestral graves blown up and ending up with such a scoundrel.

But none of this concerns their human race. Now, Elder Huang only wants one result: a nod or a refusal.

If they refuse, that's easy too; just kill the old bastard on the spot.

“Senior, this is a family matter of my Celestial Spirit Clan.”

However, at this moment, Ling Yunyi's grandfather stood up and said that the matter of Ling Zu was not over yet, so why bring up surrender now?

However, Mr. Huang neither confirmed nor denied this.

"Yes, that's why I didn't care. All I want now is an answer."

Ok? ? ?

Upon hearing this, the elders were all taken aback, and then one of them spoke up.

"Senior, could you please let us resolve this matter first before giving you an answer?"

The matter of the Spirit Ancestor had everyone's heads spinning, leaving them no time to care about anything else.

However, Old Huang was even more decisive, shaking his head directly.

"No."

"this…………………………"

"Give me the answer first, then you can handle it behind closed doors. Nobody will interfere."

"I………………"

Faced with Elder Huang's firm answer, the several Heavenly Spirit Clan ancestors exchanged glances, and then a resolute look flashed in their eyes. They nodded slightly without making a sound.

He then represented the Celestial Spirit Clan and chose to pledge allegiance to the Human Clan, showing no further hesitation.

The decision made by the elders bypassed the Spirit Ancestor, which also revealed their current feelings.
