Checking in for 100,000 Years-Chapter 874: Collecting the Corpse
"I..."
Faced with the clan leader’s questioning, the old man in golden clothes felt tight in his heart, the muscles on his cheek twitching, he opened his mouth wide but was left speechless.
Did he dare to directly reveal the truth?
The supreme warrior who could easily extinguish him with one finger was standing right beside him; how could he say it?
Unless, he wanted to die right now.
"Jin Zhong, why did you bring outsiders here... What is the meaning of this?"
Above the Sky-reach Nest, a man’s thundering voice coldly echoed down.
"Great, Great Elder, it’s not what you think it is..."
Hearing that voice, the old man in golden clothes appeared flustered, waved his hand hastily, and even began to stammer.
This great elder’s cultivation base was second only to the clan leader, being at the God Lord Realm Ninth level.
The second strongest expert in the Golden Soul-devouring Insect Clan.
With a thunderous voice, the great elder scolded coldly, "Jin Zhong, you have a lot of nerve! Tens of thousands of years ago, you were already exiled, and had long lost the qualification to return!"
The old man in golden clothes: "..."
Faced with the great elder’s words, he had no way to refute them.
Tens of thousands of years ago, from the moment he was exiled, he was no longer considered a member of the Golden Soul-devouring Insect Clan, never able to return.
Now.
His return to the Sky-reach Nest was something he simply couldn’t justify.
Feeling caught in a dilemma, with no way to advance or retreat, he was also unable to reveal those three divine-level treasures...
"Jin Zhong, you should end your own life!"
The clan leader’s elderly voice fell remotely.
End his own life?
The old man in golden clothes was stunned, his expression suddenly turning bitter.
Though he had been exiled, his sense of belonging to the Sky-reach Nest remained incredibly strong.
In his heart, he always felt that he was a part of the Golden Soul-devouring Insect Clan.
"Enough, you don’t need to question him any further!"
Ye Yun finally couldn’t bear it anymore, he stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the sky above the Sky-reach Nest, and said indifferently, "I forced him to bring me here. As for the space barrier, I was the one who broke it!"
"You broke it? How is that possible? You merely have the cultivation base at the pinnacle of the Tenth Level of the Eternal Realm!"
The great elder exclaimed in shock.
The space barrier that even the Divine Monarch Realm couldn’t open, how could a mere Eternal Realm do it?
"Great Elder, this predecessor isn’t just an Eternal Realm..."
The old man in golden clothes smiled bitterly.
"Jin Zhong, do you think you have the right to speak here? Shut up!"
The great elder rebuked angrily.
"Jin Zhong, you disgrace, hurry and get lost!"
A Gold-eating Spirit Beetle crawled out of the nest, roaring loudly.
"Jin Zhong, hurry up and die! It’s infuriating just to see you!"
Another Gold-eating Spirit Beetle cursed.
"Jin Zhong, the clan leader told you to end your own life, are you deaf?"
Yet another Gold-eating Spirit Beetle flew out of the nest, circling in the air, roaring continuously.
"Jin Zhong..."
"..."
The entire Sky-reach Nest was filled with anger from almost all the awakened Gold-eating Spirit Beetles.
At this moment, dense roaring rose and fell, forming a turbulent sound wave.
It seemed Jin Zhong’s appearance had touched some kind of underlying boundary in their hearts.
Ye Yun shook his head while looking around and then his mouth curved up in a smile, "Jin Zhong, you are indeed pitiful, now you’re the target of everyone’s wrath, even more than me! Haha..."
"There’s no helping it, Senior, I’m disliked both inside and out, looks like I’m destined to die without a place to be buried!"
The old man in golden clothes spread his hands, pale-faced, and said.
At this point.
He had already foreseen his inevitable end.
"Hehe!"
Ye Yun smiled indifferently, his apathetic eyes showing no hint of sympathy.
"Jin Zhong, you betrayed our Golden Soul-devouring Insect Clan, and now you’ve brought outsiders to the Sky-reach Nest, an unforgivable crime!
Die!"
Deep in the void, the clan leader’s angry voice suddenly thundered down.
Swoosh!
A flash of golden light, transforming into a golden sword in mid-air, fell down with incomparable sharpness.
The sword was extremely fast.
In the blink of an eye, it appeared before the old man in golden clothes.
"I am going to die, the clan leader...actually made a move personally!"
Despite a tragic smile, the old man in golden clothes neither dodged nor avoided, and promptly closed his eyes.
Puff!
The sword fell.
The old man’s body was forcibly split into two halves.
At this moment.
Even his primordial spirit couldn’t escape, cut down on the spot.
Jin Zhong was completely eliminated.
Ye Yun looked at the two halves of the corpse, blood continuously spurting, his gaze indifferent, without a ripple of emotion.
At the peak of the Sky-reach Nest.
It was enveloped in a layer of faint dark golden mist, floating ghostly, exuding an unspeakable eeriness.
A total of seven figures stood on the edge of the nest within the mist, gazing indifferently below.
"Tens of thousands of years ago, I was too soft-hearted and merely exiled Jin Zhong from the clan without killing him, resulting in some trouble today..."
A powerful Golden Eye Elder sighed coldly, his gaze indifferent.
"Clan Leader, Jin Zhong brought outsiders to the Sky-reach Nest and deserved to die!"
The third elder snorted coldly.
"Clan Leader, our Sky-reach Nest has remained unexposed for millions of years, who would have thought outsiders would intrude today, truly infuriating..."
The great elder clenched his fists and roared.
"Do you recognize the body of this guy?"
The Golden Eye Elder looked down, his brows furrowing slightly, a trace of revelation in his eyes.
"Clan Leader, is this the Black Ming Divine Spider? Thought to be a remnant of the Divine Dragon Sect from the past!"
With eyes cold, the great elder said heavily.
"Since it’s a Black Ming Divine Spider, it’s not truly a remnant of the Divine Dragon Sect; she has some connections with us too..."
The Golden Eye Elder spoke indifferently.
"Clan Leader, should we exile her or detain her?"
The great elder asked.
"Decide based on the situation..."
The Golden Eye Elder watched the white-clad girl below, his eyebrows raised, his gaze becoming profound.
"Clan Leader?"
Confused, the great elder looked to the clan leader.
Likewise for the other elders.
They didn’t know what the clan leader was thinking or why he hadn’t decisively dealt with that white-clad girl.
"Hehe, having the first stranger break into the Sky-reach Nest is somewhat intriguing..."
The Golden Eye Elder shook his head with a low laugh, the laughter low and making one feel creepy.
The remaining six elders looked at each other.
None knew the subtle meaning in the clan leader’s words.
"Gold-eating Spirit Beetle..."
Ye Yun pointed at the two halves of the corpse, looked up toward the depths of the void, and spoke calmly, "Jin Zhong was just an insignificant pawn, why did you kill him?"
"Revealing the location of the Sky-reach Nest, Jin Zhong had to die!"
An ancient voice, like thunder, descended from the air.
"Poor Jin Zhong, his twisting mind was never fully revealed before it led him to his end!"
Ye Yun chuckled internally.
With a wave, a sweep of mana gathered up Jin Zhong’s corpse.
"Why are you collecting his corpse?"
The Golden Eye Elder asked loudly.
"Unlike you, I’m not heartless. Jin Zhong brought me over yet lost his life, I must give him a proper burial!"
Ye Yun spread his hands, saying calmly.
"Proper burial? You should think more about yourself, maybe later no one will be around to bury you!"
The great elder laughed coldly.
With hands behind his back, the Golden Eye Elder looked down and shouted, "Which clan member is willing to capture this person?"
"I’ll do it!"
A furious roar sounded.
Buzz! 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
A massive Gold-eating Spirit Beetle, flapping its wings, turned into a ray of golden light, flying out from the nest, heading straight for Ye Yun.
