#1217 - Chapter 1217 For one's own selfishness

With a click, the door locked. The few people in the front hall knew that Ye Kong's guess had come true. Qi Shan had already quickly flashed out, following Ye Kong's instructions to find Elder Bai San.

As soon as Bai Rong's voice came out, Ye Kong answered almost without thinking, "Never."

"I, Ye Kong, always value fairness and honesty. I look down on things obtained through petty tricks."

"Hahaha…" Bai Rong laughed as if he had heard a funny joke, "Since you're so stubborn, then stay in the secret chamber and cool off."

Bai Rong raised his foot to leave, "Oh, right, don't try to force your way out, otherwise, you'll have to suffer a bit from the Bai Clan's centuries of power."

Of course, Ye Kong wouldn't do anything foolish. He turned around and sat down, "No rush, I'll wait for you to invite me out."

After Bai Rong left, Ye Kong immediately got up to search for the main chamber of the secret room. According to Elder Bai San, the Cloud Spirit Orb was in the main chamber, and what Bai Rong had shown him just now was just a projection.

This was, of course, just a part of the plan.

Bai Rong was proud and arrogant all his life, believing that nothing could be out of his control. Precisely because of this, it was the only way to overcome his weakness.

The main chamber exists between any secret chambers, not as a separate room. Generally speaking, the main chamber will only appear between a certain secret chamber after all the secret chambers are opened. But once he did that, Bai Rong would immediately know his purpose.

How to find the location of the main chamber without opening all the single rooms, and open it in one go, Ye Kong had to put in some effort.

On this side, Qi Shan had already found Elder Bai San. Hearing that Ye Kong had entered the secret chamber, he hurriedly hid his smile, "Let's go, take the villagers from Yunbian Town to the ancestral hall together."

As soon as Bai Rong went out, he was blocked at the door by the villagers of Yunbian Town.

"Great Elder, where did Ye Kong and his group go?" a villager asked.

Bai Rong was about to speak when he was interrupted by a villager.

"There's no need to ask, they must be eating and drinking well, we can't forget Yunbian Town's hospitality."

"Yes, Ye Kong and his group are resting, if you want to see them, come back tomorrow."

Bai Rong followed the trend.

"If we can't see Ye Kong, why can't we see the people around him either?" someone muttered.

And Bai Zhi had now walked to Bai Rong's side, Bai Rong opened his mouth, "Now there is a choice for you."

"It just so happens that everyone is here, why not let everyone choose?" Bai Zhi looked at Bai Rong.

The choice had been made.

Bai Rong asked fiercely, "You know that the secret chamber will start self-cleaning within ten hours, Ye Kong can't stay in there for long.

How can you bear to watch your partners be wiped out?"

"You said it yourself, they are just partners, I can still tell what's more important." Bai Zhi pointed to the villagers below, "But now, they want an explanation more than I do."

"Since that's the case, you can also make a choice."

The noisy crowd naturally wouldn't know that in the silence between the two, they had already made their choices.

With a bang, the muffled sound of a blow came through the stone slab. Bai Rong and Bai Zhi instantly knew what had happened, and the two hurriedly ran towards the secret chamber.

"What happened? Where are the Great Elder and the Third Elder?" someone asked.

"I don't know, they were just here…"

Inside the secret chamber, Ye Kong had successfully found the main chamber. The slight rumble as the main chamber door opened had already been sensed by the people outside.

Ye Kong faced the Cloud Spirit Orb, his mind swaying.

As expected of a treasure passed down for many years, it was truly radiant. A projection was already like this, but only when facing the real thing could one feel its mystery.

Ye Kong couldn't help but reach out, but just as his hand was about to touch the Cloud Spirit Orb, Bai Rong shouted loudly, "Stop!"

Ye Kong woke up as if from a dream and withdrew his hand.

"Ye Kong, how did you find your way here?" Bai Rong regretted it, never expecting that the various mechanisms and traps in the secret chamber not only failed to trap Ye Kong, but even allowed Ye Kong to arrive at the main secret chamber first, almost touching the Cloud Spirit Orb.

Once Ye Kong touched it, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"You have no choice, Bai Rong." After Bai Zhi finished speaking, he pushed Ye Kong towards the Cloud Spirit Orb.

Ye Kong's hand touched the Cloud Spirit Orb, and the Cloud Spirit Orb rotated and ascended, its light gathering and pouring entirely onto Ye Kong.

Ye Kong's body began to rise lightly involuntarily, his entire body began to rotate with the Cloud Spirit Orb.

The power of the Cloud Spirit Orb erupted, and the spiritual power in Ye Kong's body was flowing everywhere, relaxing his muscles and promoting blood circulation wherever it went, making him feel refreshed. The bandage on his eyes also slowly fell off, and all the foreign objects wrapped around his eyes were completely removed.

The Cloud Spirit Orb would bless a new owner every hundred years, and Ye Kong was its new owner.

"Ah? Ah? Ah?" Ye Kong was also dumbfounded, clearly Elder Bai San's original words weren't like this.

"Since things have come to this, there's no need for you and me to compete. The Cloud Spirit Orb is already in Ye Kong's hands, so he has the right to decide the position of clan leader, whether to take it himself or give it to someone else." Bai Zhi looked at Bai Rong with a smile, "Never thought, would you, that your painstaking planning for a hundred years would be no match for Ye Kong's transfer of hands."

Ye Kong took the Cloud Spirit Orb and walked out step by step.

Bai Rong was still unwilling to give up and wanted to snatch it again, but as soon as his hand touched the Cloud Spirit Orb, he was heavily bounced off onto the wall of the secret chamber, landing heavily, triggering the cloud arrow mechanism. In an instant, thousands of cloud arrows attacked from all directions.

Bai Zhi grabbed Bai Rong, now was not the time for him to die. Ye Kong, with the help of the power of the Cloud Spirit Orb, the three quickly escaped from the secret chamber.

Returning to the ancestral hall, the villagers saw the Cloud Spirit Orb in Ye Kong's hand and immediately knelt down, "Welcome the new clan leader."

Ye Kong helped the villagers up, and in the presence of everyone, he transferred the Cloud Spirit Orb to Bai Zhi.

"Welcome Clan Leader Bai!"

…

Under the support of everyone, Bai Zhi took over the Cloud Spirit Orb, the position of Cloud Clan Leader, and was just about to express some thoughts.

Bai Rong, who was standing aside, interrupted him.

"Even if you get the Cloud Spirit Orb, so what? Without me, you will never know the specific location of Siqin." Bai Rong's clothes were disheveled at this time, and the blood stains had not dried, and his downcast appearance would not have attracted attention.

It's just Siqin…

Ye Kong walked down, "The matter of Siqin is not something I can control, the Upper Realm will make its own decision."

"Is that so? Ye Kong." Bai Rong stared at Ye Kong, "If you go your own way, Siqin will die because of you."

"How dare you?" Ye Kong grabbed Bai Rong.

"How would I not dare? Ye Kong, I have nothing left to lose, this is my last trump card."

Bai Rong laughed wildly, "Ye Kong, do you dare?"

Dare to risk the world for personal gain?
