I Am the Source of Darkness, Causing Chaos in the Eternal Heavens

Chapter 15 The Fool Who Got Hoodwinked, Hall Master of the Huangquan

“Your name is Ye Xuan, right?”

On the ancient warship, the dark-skinned boy stared at Jiang Minghan in terror.

Hearing the question, he quickly nodded, trembling, “I dare not… dare not lie to you, sir, my… my name is Ye Xuan…”

He was just a minor branch member of the Ye family.

If it weren’t for the chance of picking up that jade pendant, he might never have encountered someone of Jiang Minghan’s caliber in his entire life.

To him, it felt like an ant standing before a true dragon.

Not fainting on the spot already took immense courage.

“Don’t worry, I’m not a bad person. I just want to ask you about your master.”

Jiang Minghan smiled warmly, signaling him not to panic.

“Y-yes… yes… yes…”

Ye Xuan nodded repeatedly, not daring to hide anything.

He quickly recounted how he found the jade pendant and became a disciple to the remnant soul within it.

He wasn’t entirely foolish. When he went to find his master and discovered he had fled without a trace, he realized he had been abandoned.

“So, all of this was orchestrated by his master…”

“How despicable.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxuan’s face showed understanding followed by a look of resentment.

“This poor kid was merely used.”

“His master is the real culprit, and from the beginning, his target was probably you.” Jiang Minghan said with a faint smile.

He didn’t make things difficult for Ye Xuan but instead planned to have Ye Qingxuan send him back to the Ye family.

As for what would happen to Ye Xuan in the future, that wasn’t his concern.

“Yes, Master. I’ll arrange to search for Ye Xuan’s fleeing master…” Ye Qingxuan hurriedly went to make arrangements.

On Chiyan Ancient Star, the Ye family was a significant clan with deep roots.

Now, with Jiang Minghan backing them, other forces had to carefully curry favor.

Who would dare obstruct them?

At this moment, a Tianjiao with a Yaksha appearance stepped forward and said,

“Qingxuan, there’s no need for that. If he were truly a Divine King, he wouldn’t flee now.”

“Master, it seems that strong man merely possessed a body and used a secret technique to exhibit Divine King pressure. His actual strength shouldn’t be that formidable.”

“Even if he tries to escape, he won’t get far.”

His crimson eyes showed a cold smile, “Master, leave this to me. I possess a tracking divine ability. As long as he hasn’t completely erased his traces, he’ll leave clues.”

Jiang Minghan nodded slightly, “In that case, I’ll leave it to you.”

He was genuinely curious.

This should have been a plot involving a Son of Luck, but from Ye Xuan’s appearance, he was just a fool who had been completely hoodwinked.

Clearly, Ye Xuan’s so-called master was the real deal.

***

“Damn it, why isn’t this going according to the script? He’s the young master of the hidden immortal clan, why would he personally come to this remote place…”

“This is ridiculous. I’ve roamed for tens of thousands of years and never encountered such a situation.”

Meanwhile, in a small town on Chiyan Ancient Star,

An old man in a black robe was muttering angrily, clearly agitated.

This man was Ye Xuan’s so-called master.

Upon sensing the arrival of an ancient warship from the sky, he knew something was wrong, entirely beyond his expectations.

So, without hesitation, he ran, not caring about Ye Xuan’s fate.

Chiyan Ancient Star was extremely remote, even among the three thousand Dao Domains.

He thought he could easily lure Ye Qingxuan back to her family and then possess her body.

Then, he could live as Ye Qingxuan and plan his next moves.

But who knew the young master of the hidden immortal clan would personally come here?

“Is Ye Qingxuan highly favored? Or is the young master of the hidden immortal clan so idle…”

“Just a trivial matter, and he personally handles it?”

The black-robed elder gritted his teeth, planning to hide in a small town until things calmed down.

Then he would reappear and consider his next steps.

Boom!!!

But the next moment, a terrifying momentum came from behind.

Blinding light, like a divine sword, shot towards him, making his expression change drastically. His whole body surged with spiritual light as he dodged hastily.

The mountains shook, the ground cracked with terrifying fissures, and the surrounding mountains nearly shattered, showing the power of this strike.

An ancient warship hovered above the small town, towering and awe-inspiring, surrounded by runes, radiating a terrifying aura.

“How did they find me so quickly…”

The black-robed elder’s face turned ugly, filled with unease and fear.

At his peak, he wouldn’t have feared such an ancient warship.

But now, with his current means, he couldn’t even contend with other young Tianjiao.

“Still planning to escape?”

A calm voice came from the sky, bland yet divine, carrying a terrifying pressure.

“Am I really going to be captured like this…”

The black-robed elder’s heart was filled with unwillingness, his eyes fixed on the sky.

He knew the answer. Against other forces, there might have been a chance.

But facing the hidden immortal clan, even if he escaped temporarily, he couldn’t escape forever.

“Please, spare me…”

The next moment, the black-robed elder knelt, not daring to flee.

In the sky, Jiang Minghan raised an eyebrow, surprised by the elder’s compliance.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…

Several divine rainbows quickly approached.

Soon, the black-robed elder, with his cultivation sealed, was brought before Jiang Minghan, his old face filled with bitterness and regret.

“Master… Master…”

Ye Xuan glanced at him, shocked that his respected master was like this.

But the black-robed elder ignored him, kneeling before Jiang Minghan, pleading, “Please, spare me, sir. I’m willing to serve you, to be a horse or an ox, to go through fire and water. I beg you to spare my life.”

“How dare you! What makes you think you’re worthy to serve the Master as a horse or an ox?”

The other followers’ faces changed, immediately rebuking him.

To them, Jiang Minghan was like a god.

How could anyone be worthy to serve him?

Jiang Minghan waved his hand, signaling them to stop, and looked at the elder, “Give me a reason not to kill you.”

The black-robed elder wasn’t surprised, speaking bitterly, “I was once a Hall Master of the Huangquan and know the whereabouts of the Book of Death…”
