Fantasy: I Can Become Stronger By Lying Down - Chapter 30
Chapter 30 Turn The Tides
This made the Supreme Grand Patriarch curious.
Logically speaking, the Patriarch Shentu should not be a fool.
How could he agree to work with the Yuwen family?
Why would he trust the Yuwen family so easily?
Patriarch Shentu should know what kind of people the Yuwen family was, as they were both from the same era.
In that era, even if Patriarch Yuwen wasn’t hated by everyone, he was still known as a vile person and an evil dog.
The title of vicious dog was actually spread by Ye Zhen himself.
When the Patriarch Shentu heard the Supreme Grand Patriarch, his heart stirred. He began to think about whether what the Supreme Grand Patriarch said was right or wrong.
If the Ninth-grade Grand Emperor Ye Zhen were to die, then his Eighth-grade Pre-Emperor status would be useless.
The reason why Patriarch Yuwen had joined hands with him was to deal with Ye Zhen, and if Ye Zhen was gone, what use would he be?
What was the use of his Shentu family?
The only use for it was to divide the Ye
family’s resources and the Grand Emperor’s Blood Essence.
However, would Patriarch Yuwen really allow the Shentu family to participate in the share?
Wasn’t it better for Patriarch Yuwen to just kill himself and snatch the blood essence?
The temptation of becoming a Grand Emperor was not something even Patriarch Yuwen could resist.
If it wasn’t for his lack of strength, he would ascend to Ninth-grade Pre-Emperor like the other two of them. If that’s the case, he too would want to take the blood essence for himself and vindicate his Dao to the Grand Emperor realm.
The thought drove him to look at Patriarch Yuwen with a hint of wariness in his eyes.
Even he, a Eighth-grade Pre-Emperor, would have such thoughts.
He didn’t believe that Patriarch Yuwen, who was a Ninth-grade Pre-Emperor, didn’t have the intention of taking the blood essence for himself.
Patriarch Yuwen had been known as a vile
character back then. Coupled with the reputation of the Yuwen family he could not afford to be careless.
Ye Zhen’s words made sense.
Once Ye Zhen was dead, Patriarch Yuwen would definitely kill him as well, and then take the Grand Emperor’s Blood Essence and the Ye family’s resources for himself.
As for the Shentu family, up until now, they had not obtained any benefits.
They had even lost many of their sky-prides.
The only thing that the Shentu family had obtained was the empty promise that the
Yuwen family had mentioned.
As for whether the Yuwen family would honor
this empty promise or not, it was not something that the Shentu family could influence.
Everything was up to Patriarch Yuwen, who had hidden agendas.
If he had the chance to take the spoils of the battle, he would definitely do it, even if there was a huge risk.
Joining forces to attack the Ye family was already a great risk.
After all, no one knew if the Ye family had
any backup plans and to what extent Ye Zhen had refined the Grand Emperor’s Blood
Essence.
Everyone said that the Ye family battle
maniacs, but little did they know that the Yuwen family was no different from maniacs
when it came to scheming.
When the Supreme Grand Patriarch saw that
Patriarch Shentu was hesitating, his facial
expression turned bright.
Patriarch Shentu had not thought of this
obviously.
Things had just taken a different turn.
The Supreme Grand patriarch said, “The
Shentu family is not as strong as the Yuwen family. Are you sure you want to join forces
with the Yuwen family to kill me here? If you retreat now, I can let bygones be bygones for your family.”
“If you join hands with me and kill that Old Dog Yuwen, I’ll give you all of the Yuwen family’s resources as promised! I only want
the blood essence. Think about it, the Ye family is much stronger than the Yuwen family.”
The Supreme Grand Patriarch patiently persuaded him.
Patriarch Shentu was already somewhat
hesitant, and now that he heard the Supreme Grand Patriarch’s suggestion, he was moved. Wasn’t it fine to join hands with whoever?
It was because the Yuwen family looked for him beforehand, and the Shentu family was afraid that the Grand Emperor from the Ye family would attack the Shentu family, so they had joined forces with Patriarch Yuwen. Moreover, they sent troops to the Ye family
because they were greedy for their resources. However, with the Yuwen family’s resources, he would not lose out even if he did not have
the Grand Emperor’s Blood Essence. Furthermore, the Ye family’s promise was indeed much more credible than the Yuwen
family’s.
When Patriarch Yuwen saw that Patriarch
Shentu was hesitating, he immediately became anxious.
Ye Zhen knew he could not win, so he tried to
sow discord.
He had originally planned to take action against the Shentu family after getting rid of
the Ye family had they not reacted. Now, with Ye Zhen’s reminder, the Patriarch Shentu finally regained his senses.
Patriarch Yuwen was furious. “Brother Shentu, this is the old thing’s ploy
to sow discord. don’t believe him,” Patriarch Yuwen rebuked angrily.
Patriarch Shentu believed what the Supreme
Grand Patriarch had said even more after hearing Patriarch Yuwen. “Brother Yuwen. Although Ye Zhen is trying
to sow discord, what he said is not without reason,” Patriarch Shentu said with fear. “You are a Ninth-grade Pre-Emperor, and your cultivation is stronger than mine. Furthermore, the Yuwen family is also stronger than the Shentu family. Once Ye Zhen is killed, I don’t believe that Brother Yuwen will not be tempted to take the Grand Emperor’s Blood Essence for yourself. I don’t believe you can keep your promise in front of temptation.”
Patriarch Shentu calmed down and analyzed with confidence.
Patriarch Yuwen was at a loss for words. He
wanted to retort, but he did not know where to start.
After all, he had already planned to attack the Patriarch Shentu and the Shentu family. Ye Zhen was right.
Once the overall situation was set, and Ye Zhen, a late-stage Ninth-grade Pre-Emperor, died, he would immediately attack Patriarch Shentu and deal him a thunderous blow.
Patriarch Shentu had been fighting for a long time, and with the battle reaching its climax, he couldn’t run away.
Once Patriarch Yuwen, a Ninth-grade Pre-Emperor, made a move, it would be fatal.
After the Shentu family was destroyed, he would be able to monopolize the Ye family and the Shentu family all at once.
The Supreme Grand Patriarch saw that Patriarch Yuwen could not speak so he continued, “Even if you don’t think for yourself, you should think for the Shentu
family. The Yuwen family is capable of doing anything.”
Patriarch Shentu’s eyes flickered slightly as
his figure began to move away from Patriarch
Yuwen.
Ye Zhen was right. The Yuwen family was capable of anything.
As Patriarch of the Shentu family, he had to
consider the future of the Shentu family. Although the Ye family loved to fight and
fought like maniacs, they were not people who liked to kill without explaining. On the other hand, the Yuwen family would do anything for their own benefit. They would probably be the worst partner.
Patriarch Yuwen’s eyelids twitched, and he knew that something was wrong.
If this continued, Patriarch Shentu would
betray him.
If they joined forces with Ye Zhen to deal with him, that would not be good. He could not beat Ye Zhen alone, and with
Patriarch Shentu, he would not be able to win. It’s impossible to keep the Ye family and the
Grand Emperor’s Blood Essence for himself
now.
The top priority was still to suppress and kill Ye Zhen. Even if he had to pay a price, he couldn’t let
Ye Zhen become a Grand Emperor. Otherwise, it would be the end of the Yuwen
family.
