Chapter 660: Chapter 661 The Whereabouts of the Parents

Ye Wudao’s eyes flashed with surprise and he involuntarily asked, "May I know what Madam Shi desires to obtain?"

"It depends on whether you have the capability!" Madam Shi said, her gaze shifting toward an elder beside her.

Whoosh!

The elder immediately stood up, launching a punch toward Ye Wudao with a force both mighty and deep.

Ye Wudao’s gaze turned frosty as he swiftly countered with his fist.

Bang!

A dull thud resounded. Ye Wudao stumbled backwards, while the elder from the Shi family exclaimed in surprise, "Impressive. You are merely at the sixth grade Battle Emperor realm, yet you managed to withstand ten percent of this old man’s strength!"

It should be noted that this elder was an eighth grade Battle Emperor!

Ye Wudao said, "Madam Shi, there’s no need for further tests. Please state your conditions. As long as Ye can accomplish them, I shall not refuse!"

"Direct and to the point!" Madam Shi laughed and said, "Your mother, Jiang Qin, and I shared history. Unfortunately, she was too naive. In her attempt to resurrect your father, she... well..."

Ye Wudao was startled and couldn’t help asking, "I implore Madam Shi to speak clearly!"

"You should know that your mother has a copy of the ancient text, ’The Divine Farmer’s Scripture’, right? That is a treasure from antiquity, coveted by the strong all over the world!" Madam Shi explained.

Ye Wudao nodded, "I’m aware of it."

"Do you know the greatest effect of the Divine Farmer’s Scripture?" Madam Shi asked, smiling.

Ye Wudao tentatively replied, "I heard it can resurrect the dead?"

"Hehe, correct," Madam Shi laughed, "But think about it: who would your mother want to resurrect with the Divine Farmer’s Scripture?"

Ye Wudao’s body trembled as realization hit him, and cold sweat broke out on his back, "Could it be my father..."

"Smart!" Madam Shi laughed, revealing a secret of monumental significance, "Your parents are actually in the same place!"

Boom!

Ye Wudao felt as if struck by lightning, unable to contain his inner tumult, he asked eagerly, "Where?"

"The enemy faction—Wanzang Mountain!" Madam Shi clarified.

Wanzang Mountain?

Ye Wudao looked puzzled, "What is Wanzang Mountain?"

"Wanzang Mountain has an ancient history, dating back to the primeval era. The enemy faction specifically used it to bury the corpses of their enemies. The number of powerful beings buried there is countless. It includes not just Battle Emperor-level, but false Saint-level powerhouses, and even the legendary Saint Heirs’ tombs. It opens once every ten years," Madam Shi answered.

"Your father dazzled an era, acclaimed as the greatest genius of ancient and modern times! Feared by the enemy faction, they mobilized their entire strength to defeat your father and, it is said, buried him at Wanzang Mountain!" Madam Shi said.

Bang!

Ye Wudao’s fist smashed hard onto the ground, his eyes emanating a chilling light!

The old grudge against the enemy faction for killing his father was not shared under the heavens!

"Alas, it’s just a pity that Wanzang Mountain is heavily guarded by the enemy faction. Without their permission, no one can get close!" Madam Shi sighed.

Ye Wudao’s gaze suddenly grew solemn.

Now that he had learned of his parents’ whereabouts, he couldn’t approach Wanzang Mountain!

"Dugu Zhan asked me to seek you out. I thought that you would surely have a way, right?" Ye Wudao said.

Madam Shi nodded and replied, "Hehe, there is a way. The enemy faction regularly holds trials at Wanzang Mountain, selecting a new Kunlun Saint Son. This time, they’ve even specially invited our four Emperor Level families."

After a pause, Madam Shi smiled and continued, "As long as you are willing to represent our Shi family in participating in the Wanzang Mountain trial, you will have the opportunity to see your parents!"

Ye Wudao’s eyes sparkled.

This was a good plan!

But soon, Ye Wudao narrowed his eyes and said, "But if the enemy faction finds out, wouldn’t that be very dangerous for you?"

"Of course, risk and reward go hand in hand," Madam Shi smiled and said, "I’ve told you such a crucial secret. I want you to help us retrieve an item from Wanzang Mountain—the Xuanwu Pearl—as compensation!"

The Xuanwu Pearl?

Ye Wudao looked intrigued, "What is the Xuanwu Pearl?"

"The Xuanwu Pearl is a precious treasure of our Shi family, it belonged to my late husband and has been seized by the demon sect and placed in Wanzang Mountain. I want you to help us retrieve the Xuanwu Pearl!" With a cold laugh, Mrs. Shi said, "Otherwise, if our cooperation falls apart, I’ll pretend you never came here!"

Ye Wudao knew this was his only way to enter Wanzang Mountain!

Without hesitation, he nodded and said, "Alright!"

Mrs. Shi revealed a satisfied smile and said, "Bring pen and paper!"

Soon, an elder came with pen and ink.

Mrs. Shi said with a smile, "Saint Heir Ye, you can still regret this now, otherwise, once you are detected by the demon sect inside Wanzang Mountain, the consequences are difficult to predict!"

"No regrets!" Ye Wudao didn’t hesitate and signed his name on it.

"From now on, we are on the same side. Don’t call me Mrs. Shi, call me Aunt Shi," Mrs. Shi said, her eyes softening as she looked at Ye Wudao.

Several Shi family elders looked at Ye Wudao, their expressions much friendlier.

Ye Wudao asked, "Aunt Shi, why have you chosen me to go?"

Mrs. Shi laughed and said, "Hehe, I trust Kunlun’s judgment! If you can hold the title of Kunlun Saint Son, you must have the ability, and besides..." her eyes suddenly filled with rage, "I utterly despise the demon sect, they killed my husband and even robbed our Shi family’s heirloom treasure, the Xuanwu Pearl! Do you know how much I, a weak woman, had to sacrifice to stabilize the Shi family during its times of turmoil!"

With a scoff, Mrs. Shi said, "The outside world calls me a jinx, accuses me of causing my husband’s death, but it’s all just slander thrown at me!"

Ye Wudao apologetically said, "I’m sorry, Aunt Shi, I didn’t know."

Mrs. Shi responded with a smile, "It doesn’t matter! Those are all things of the past. However, now the demon sect’s spies are spread throughout all four Emperor Level families. You must be very careful these next few days to not expose your identity. When the time comes, I will personally escort you to participate in the Wanzang Mountain trial!"

Ye Wudao nodded, and although it was a deal, he could tell that Mrs. Shi was not a bad person by nature!

"Take this!"

Mrs. Shi took out a snow-white mask that was thin as a cicada’s wing and handed it to Ye Wudao, "This is the Snow Silkworm Mask, made from eighteen thousand strands of snow silkworm silk, allowing you to freely change your appearance. Even Emperor Level experts won’t be able to recognize your identity!"

"Thank you, Aunt Shi!" Ye Wudao put on the mask, immediately adopting the appearance of a cold-hearted middle-aged man, then switching to a burly middle-aged man with a face full of flesh, an then to a chubby man with a smile all over his face.

"This mask is truly amazing!" Ye Wudao was astounded; it was definitely the most incredible mask he had ever encountered.

Quickly, Ye Wudao returned to the appearance of the cold-hearted middle-aged man.

Just then, an elder approached and said to Mrs. Shi, "Madam, the young lady and young master are here!"

"Good, let them in!" Mrs. Shi nodded.

Three young men and a woman approached, a composed young man seemingly the natural leader among them. The woman was extremely beautiful, with delicate goose egg-shaped features and clothed in a yellow dress, exuding an ethereal presence.

"Greetings, Madam!" the young people said, clasping their fists in salute.

"Mother!" The woman in the yellow dress approached and embraced Mrs. Shi’s arm.

"Hehe, this is my daughter, Shi Lingling!" Mrs. Shi said with a smile.

Ye Wudao gave Shi Lingling a nod in acknowledgment.

"Mother, everyone in the clan is thrilled about participating in the Wanzang Mountain trial and vying for the title of Saint Heir of the demon sect. The number of registrants is overwhelming! What do you think, how should we make the selection?" Shi Lingling inquired.

Mrs. Shi’s gaze turned to Ye Wudao, and she said with a faint smile, "Hehe, let this gentleman take charge. He will be your leader!"

What?

Ye Wudao looked startled and shook his head, "Aunt Shi, that’s not appropriate!"

Ye Wudao didn’t want to get too involved with the Shi family. He was participating in the demon sect’s Wanzang Mountain trial in the name of the Shi family, and through him, the Shi family would retrieve the Xuanwu Pearl!

Each had its own needs!

Without interference from one another!

Mrs. Shi said with a smile, "It’s settled then!"

Seeing that Mrs. Shi had made up her mind, Ye Wudao did not say anything further.

Shi Lingling cast a curious glance at Ye Wudao and asked, "May I ask who you are?"

"I am Ye Zhanmo," Ye Wudao spoke up.

Snort!

Hearing the new name Ye Wudao had given himself, Mrs. Shi on the side couldn’t help laughing out loud.
