Chapter 830: Chapter 399: Supplemental Update in Progress...

[The following content is a draft.

Apologies.]

Immediately, Yang Ye’s gaze fell upon the Listener.

The Listener was skilled at discerning human hearts and could naturally distinguish the truth in Yan Xie’s words.

The next moment.

A Divine Sense Communication arrived.

Only four words—Gratitude is False!

Yang Ye’s expression darkened, and with a wave of his hand, he performed the divine technique "Time Flies".

Although it only lasted a moment, it took away fifty years of Yan Xie’s life.

In an instant, Yan Xie’s back hunched even more, and his hands withered rapidly to a noticeable degree.

Yan Xie was shocked.

He felt his lifespan slipping away and his body aging, as if decades had passed in an instant.

Just as Yan Xie was panicking, Yang Ye’s cold voice came, "This time it’s fifty years. If you dare to speak nonsense again, all your lifespan will vanish."

Upon hearing this, Yan Xie promptly knelt down with a thud, filled with immense fear, even his very soul trembled at this moment.

Lifespan deprivation.

How could there be such a divine technique in the world!

Who exactly is this Yang Ye?

Isn’t he just the Yang Family Patriarch?

"Senior, I dare not, I dare not!" Yan Xie spoke fearfully, kowtowing repeatedly, the sound echoing loudly.

Yang Ye spoke in a deep voice, "Every word you say next, if there’s a single lie, I will bury you with Si Minglan."

Yan Xie nodded quickly, "Senior, please calm your anger. I indeed did not serve Cloud Mountain River’s River God out of gratitude, but because I could not defeat him. I served him out of fear of death, until he emerges from seclusion."

Yang Ye glanced at the Listener, seeing no reaction, he continued, "Continue, regarding the Gate of Non-Life, and also about the River God’s Mansion of Cloud Mountain River."

He was not afraid of that Cloud Mountain River River God, unless his lifespan exceeded a thousand years, otherwise, he could only die of old age in front of "Time Flies".

But he was still quite curious.

As for the Gate of Non-Life, Yang Ye was equally curious.

The powers that could rival the Guardian Department and Cyan Cloud Temple, just how strong they were. After all, as far as he knew, the temple’s leader at Cyan Cloud Temple was at Qi Cultivation Great Perfection.

Yan Xie nodded, "Regarding the Gate of Non-Life, the most noteworthy is my master, Luo Wusheng, the master of the Gate of Non-Life, who is a powerhouse in the Realm of Hundred Souls Perfection. His Lifebound Ghost, Langpo, is so powerful that it could rival a cultivator of Qi Cultivation Perfection. It is no exaggeration to say, even the master of Cyan Cloud Temple at Qi Cultivation Great Perfection, and the Ninth Grade Peak City God of Celestial River County, may not be able to match my master. Under his command are three late-stage ghost cultivators of the Hundred Souls, comparable to cultivators at Qi Cultivation Eleventh Layer. In the entire Celestial River County, only the City God Temple of the Divine Court can surpass the Gate of Non-Life."

Speaking of this, a hint of pride appeared.

Yang Ye’s gaze fell on the Listener.

The Listener still showed no reaction.

"This Gate of Non-Life is surprisingly strong," Yang Ye murmured to himself, slightly alarmed.

Yang Ye then asked, "And what about the strength of Cloud Mountain River’s River God?"

Yan Xie responded, "The River God of Cloud Mountain River has been in seclusion at Du Ming Mountain for ten years and has not yet emerged, so the exact strength is unknown. But it is certain that if this seclusion is successful, he should be able to rival a cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Tenth Layer when he emerges. Of course, senior need not fear him, but you must be cautious of the City God Temple behind him. After all, the River God of Cloud Mountain River belongs to the City God Temple. If anything happens to Du Ming Mountain, the City God Temple will not stand idly by."

Upon finishing, though frightened, Yan Xie still cast a sidelong glance at Yang Ye’s expression.

He wanted to see if Yang Ye would show worry or remain calm upon hearing the River God’s potential to rival Qi Cultivation Tenth Layer Perfection.

What he saw was only calm.

This made him involuntarily astonished, just how powerful is this Yang Ye?

Yang Ye inquired, "And the City God of the City God Temple, how many years of lifespan?"

Yan Xie hesitated, somewhat puzzled, but suddenly remembered how Yang Ye had deprived him of fifty years of lifespan earlier and seemed to understand something.

"The City God’s lifespan definitely does not exceed five hundred!"

Yang Ye nodded, asking no further questions.

Since it didn’t exceed five hundred, there was nothing to worry about.

After briefly inquiring about the City God Temple’s situation, Yang Ye shifted the topic.

Focusing on completing the task was still most urgent.

Everything else could be set aside for now.

After all, the River God of Cloud Mountain River at Du Ming Mountain had not yet emerged.

"In the entire Celestial River County, are there any Rootless among those cultivators with your level of strength?"

Yang Ye’s goal remained clear, targeting those lone individuals, those Loose Cultivators, people he might have a chance to recruit.

Though Yan Xie didn’t know why Yang Ye asked such a question, he answered honestly, "There are, but only two or three."

"Speak of them."

"To my knowledge, the City Lord Luo Hao of Luocheng is a Loose Cultivator, at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, not affiliated with any power, but solely focused on business. There is also a Demon Cultivator who runs an Art Hall in the County City of Celestial River County. She used to be the most famous Singing Girl in the county, also at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer in strength, but a few days ago was crippled by a demon cultivator from the Unemployed Race, and probably doesn’t have much time left."

Having finished speaking, Yan Xie fell into contemplation.

A moment later, he suddenly said, "Oh, and there’s that one. The former General Guardian Envoy, Mo Jianhuan, hailing from the world-renowned Immortal Sect. He cultivated the pulse of the gate, at the late stage of the Profound Realm, even cultivators at the Qi Cultivation Tenth Layer could not contest him. But that was twenty years ago, now he is just a fisherman, spending his days fishing, disinterested in world affairs. It’s said he was set up and lost his position as General Guardian Envoy, leading him to give up hope and become a mere fisherman."
