I, the Necromancer, will crush the gods!

Chapter 690 Even the most meticulous plans can have flaws; overlooking one is a mistake.

Jiang Yi looked at Ye Chenshi, "Your surname is Ye?"

Ye Chenshi nodded, "Ancestor Ye Boran!"

Jiang Yi said, "I didn't expect you to be a descendant of Boran."

Ye Chenshi said, "Back then, thanks to the God of Righteousness, my ancestor was saved. He later founded the Ye family in the mountain city, and it has been passed down to this day."

Jiang Yi didn't say anything more about the Ye family, but spoke for the fourth time, "Open the formation."

This time he seemed to be trying to remain calm, but Jiang Chen sensed that Jiang Yi was more anxious than before.

He watched Jiang Yi from the side and noticed that Jiang Yi's eyes showed no interest in Ye Boran, and his words were just perfunctory.

It wasn't that he had no interest at all, but rather a slight aversion. Ye Chenshi was somewhat agitated at the moment and didn't notice the strangeness of the Righteous God. Jiang Chen secretly sent a message to Old Hong, telling him to be careful and stay away.

Ye Chenshi immediately ordered the formation to be opened to let Jiang Yi in.

Wang Lin naturally wouldn't disobey Ye Chenshi's orders, so he created a passage within the formation for Jiang Yi to pass through.

Jiang Yi entered the formation and did not linger, but flew towards the center of the fortress.

They seem to have a very clear purpose.

Ye Chenshi followed Jiang Yi and said, "Senior Yi Shen, our ancestor Boran left behind an ancestral instruction that you have not perished and are very likely to be resurrected and return in the future."

"Is that so?" Jiang Yi asked with a half-smile, his eyes revealing a strange look.

Ye Chenshi said, "That's what our ancestor said."

"What else did he say?" "The ancestor said that you are unparalleled in talent, and if you were to be resurrected, you would be the strongest among humans. If anyone could surpass the gods, it would be you."

Ye Chenshi's tone was slightly excited, clearly indicating that Jiang Yi's return and the fulfillment of his ancestor's words had a significant impact on him.

Jiang Yi smiled, "Bo Ran really understands me. What a pity..."

"What's a pity?" Ye Chenshi was unaware of his own predicament, but Wang Lin sensed something was wrong.

Wang Lin frowned, his eyes fixed on Jiang Yi, his fists already clenched without him even realizing it.

Jiang Yi's gaze swept over Wang Lin casually, then he shook his head, revealing a hint of disdain.

The group had arrived at the center of the fortress, in a spacious plaza. This was originally where the Demon-Slaying Tower had been placed, but it had been left vacant after Jiang Chen took it.

Jiang Chen followed at a distance, unsure why Jiang Yi had come here. Jiang Yi stopped, his gaze sweeping across the square. "It's cleaned quite well."

Ye Chenshi said, "There used to be a tower here, but now the tower has been..."

"careful!"

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Lin suddenly roared.

Then, a flash of sword light appeared, and Ye Chenshi was pushed aside. A scream rang out, and blood gushed into the sky.

Wang Lin pushed Ye Chenshi away, his arms being swept away by the sword light and snapped cleanly.

Before Ye Chenshi could react, the sword light shone again.

At the same time, a powerful aura surged from behind, colliding with the sword light. The violent impact sent Ye Chenshi flying far away. Old Hong shielded Ye Chenshi from a fatal blow, but he was also blasted away in the process.

With a bang, blood rained down from the sky.

Wang Lin was torn to pieces by another sword light.

Old Hong saved Ye Chenshi, but not Wang Lin. Wang Lin first pushed Ye Chenshi away, severing both of his hands.

He died instantly from the second sword strike.

No one expected Jiang Yi to suddenly attack, especially his own people. If Jiang Chen hadn't warned Lao Hong to be careful, Lao Hong wouldn't have guessed either. "Wang Lin!" Ye Chenshi finally reacted, letting out a startled cry. Lao Hong glared at Jiang Yi and shouted angrily, "Jiang Yi, what are you doing?" Lao Hong and Wang Lin weren't particularly close, but Wang Lin was still a god-level expert among the human race. Watching him being killed, especially since the attacker was also human, was extremely frustrating for Lao Hong.

Ye Chenshi and Wang Lin had a very deep relationship. Wang Lin always regarded Ye Chenshi as his elder, and Ye Chenshi, who had no children, also regarded Wang Lin as half a son.

Seeing Wang Lin die on the spot, his eyes filled with grief and tears streaming down his face, he cried out to Jiang Yi, "Why?"

Jiang Yi's face was grim at this moment, and he sneered, "I didn't expect this guy to be so loyal, actually willing to die for you."

"Why? There's no why. I just want god-level blood. You were suitable before, but you'll have to make do now."

Jiang Yi remained expressionless, stretched out his hand, and a large amount of blood flew out, scattering down like raindrops.

The blood was both black and red; the black was the blood of demons, and the red was the blood of dragons. The blood exuded a powerful aura; without exception, it was all the blood of demon kings and dragon kings. Having collected a large amount of divine blood, no one knew what Jiang Yi intended to do. His speed was too fast; even Jiang Chen couldn't react in time. No one could have imagined that he would attack his own kind.

If Wang Lin hadn't reacted quickly enough, Ye Chenshi would be dead right now.

Jiang Yi, who is at level 98, has already entered the threshold of half-step godhood. Under the influence of the laws, killing Ye Chenshi would not be difficult.

Ye Chenshi said coldly, "If you are not the God of Righteousness, then who are you?"

Jiang Yi splattered all the blood onto the ground and chuckled, "I am Jiang Yi, the righteous god your ancestors spoke of." Ye Chenshi roared, "Impossible! The righteous god our ancestors spoke of would sacrifice his life for humanity, he would never lay a hand on his fellow human beings."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"

Jiang Yi chuckled sinisterly, his entire demeanor changing drastically, exuding a chilling aura. "That's because you don't understand me at all."

"Not only do you not understand me, but your ancestors did not understand me either."

"Of course, I don't know you very well either."

"If that coward Ye Boran hadn't run away during the great battle back then, I wouldn't have died in battle."

"Do you really think I would fight to the death for the sake of humanity? I have no choice!"

"You don't understand, you simply don't understand!"

Jiang Yi's face grew increasingly ferocious, and he continued to laugh maniacally.

Jiang Chen suddenly realized he had overlooked something. The information stated that Jiang Yi had unexpectedly obtained extraterrestrial demon gold.

However, it was not mentioned when he obtained it.

Magic Gold possesses the ability to bewitch the mind, and only top-tier professionals can resist it.

If Jiang Yi obtained the Demon Gold before his third advancement...

Does this mean that Jiang Yi was already acting abnormally from that point on? Jiang Yi gives the impression of being a near-godlike being, making people subconsciously overlook the time it took him to obtain the magic gold.

"Wrong, completely wrong!"

"This guy is acting. He's been acting ever since I entered the secret realm and made contact with him with my soul."

"I was too weak at the time and didn't notice anything unusual."

“Antares certainly knows, but it hasn’t said.”

Combining this with what Jiang Yi had just said, Jiang Chen suddenly understood everything. Jiang Yi was never a righteous god who sacrificed himself for the greater good of the nation; he had his own purpose, and what that purpose was would soon be revealed.

The blood spilled onto the ground and was quickly absorbed by the earth.

Then a blood-red array appeared.

The space around Jiang Chen distorted, and Li Xueru appeared beside Jiang Chen with the Divine Dragon Tower, along with Yan Kuangsheng.

Jiang Chen just sent them a message, and they rushed over immediately.

Upon seeing the formation, Li Xueru's expression changed slightly. "This is a blood formation?"

Jiang Chen asked, "What is a blood array?"

Li Xueru said, "It's an extremely evil formation that absorbs the blood of powerful individuals and transforms the energy within, allowing people to level up quickly."

Jiang Chen knew that there were always trade-offs. Rapid upgrades inevitably came at a price.

Li Xueru continued, "As long as there is enough blood from strong individuals, leveling up is very fast, and you can even advance three times in one night."

"But the aftereffects are also very serious. Some people who used the blood array either went insane or died from their bodies exploding. Even those who succeeded were unable to make any progress for the rest of their lives, their foundations severed."

"Blood arrays appeared a long time ago and were recorded, but they disappeared later. How come there's a blood array here?"

Jiang Yi suddenly turned to look at Li Xueru, "Your divine-level array master is quite good, and you've even reached level 96. I didn't waste my power saving you last time."

As soon as he finished speaking, the formation was activated with a roar, and blood-red light shot into the sky!
