A magical journey of a sharp-tongued woman and a goofy man

"Li'er, what do you want to do next?" Jiang Ye's voice broke the silence. He looked at Ye Shuli with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Go to the Land of Inheritance." Ye Shuli's tone was firm, her eyes flashing with an inexplicable light. Perhaps the answer to everything was hidden there, or perhaps it was the entrance to another abyss.

The site of heritage is located underground in the Ye family ancestral hall, with the entrance hidden beneath an inconspicuous stone tablet.

Following the instructions in her family's ancient records, Ye Shuli activated the mechanism.

After a rumbling sound, the stone tablet slowly moved aside, revealing a deep underground passage.

A chilling aura emanated from the depths of the passage, carrying an ancient and mysterious feel.

Ye Shuli took a deep breath and went inside first.

Jiang Ye followed closely behind, the longsword in his hand emitting a faint glow, illuminating the path ahead.

Ancient totems are carved on the walls on both sides of the passage, seemingly telling stories of a long-forgotten history.

Ye Shuli carefully observed these totems, trying to find some clues.

"These totems seem to be somewhat similar to the patterns on the divine artifacts..." Ye Shuli murmured to herself, a bold guess forming in her mind.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the passage finally came to an end.

Suddenly, the view in front of them became clear, and a huge underground space appeared in front of them.

In the center of the space, a bead radiating dazzling light floated, surrounded by countless strange runes.

"This is... the family's legacy?" Ye Shuli stared at the bead, her heart filled with shock.

Just then, the surrounding runes suddenly began to flash violently, and a powerful force erupted from the bead, enveloping Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye.

"Li'er!" Jiang Ye exclaimed, trying to reach out to pull Ye Shuli, but was pushed away by an invisible force.

Ye Shuli felt her body being pulled by a powerful force, and her consciousness gradually blurred...

"Jiang Ye...I..." Ye Shuli's voice grew weaker and weaker until it disappeared into a ray of light.

Jiang Ye struggled to get closer to Ye Shuli, but he was unable to break through that invisible force.

He could only watch helplessly as Ye Shuli was swallowed by the light, his heart filled with powerlessness and despair.

"Li'er! Wait for me!" Jiang Ye shouted towards the direction of the light.

Suddenly, two figures appeared behind Jiang Ye.

"Jiang Ye, we..." Young Master Lin hesitated, his gaze complex as he looked at the fading light ahead.

Beside him, Young Master Su sighed softly, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

Just then, a chilling aura emanated from the entrance of the passage, and several figures rapidly approached.

Elder Wu appeared behind Jiang Ye and Young Master Su with several powerful experts, their eyes filled with killing intent.

"Jiang Ye, do you two think you can just take away the Ye family's inheritance so easily?" Elder Wu's voice was icy cold, as if an ice pick pierced his bone marrow.

Jiang Ye gripped his longsword tightly, his gaze sharp as an eagle, and stared coldly at Elder Wu: "You'd better not interfere with Ye Shuli's choice."

Elder Wu sneered.

Young Master Lin and Young Master Su exchanged a glance and simultaneously gripped their weapons.

Although they accepted Ye Shuli's choice, some members of their sect clearly did not intend to let the matter rest.

"Don't think we'll be afraid just because you two are backing us up." Elder Wu's voice was full of threat, and the group immediately assumed fighting stances, ready to launch an attack.

Jiang Ye was filled with rage, but he also knew that the enemies before him were all formidable.

They cannot act rashly; they must proceed with caution.

Suddenly, Elder Wu gave an order, and several experts launched a fierce attack in an instant. The offensive came like a storm, and Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye could only defend with all their might.

Their attack was as fierce as a storm, and onlookers thought Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye were about to be defeated.

Jiang Ye's longsword drew streaks in the air as he desperately parried the opponent's attacks.

Ye Shuli was not to be outdone. She quickly formed hand seals, creating transparent shields that protected herself and Jiang Ye.

"Li'er, hold on!" Jiang Ye shouted, his voice tinged with anxiety.

Just as the opponent's new round of fierce attacks was about to hit the shield, Ye Shuli suddenly frowned. Her memories instantly connected, and she remembered a defensive technique that she had discovered in her family's heritage.

"Jiang Ye, shield!" Ye Shuli shouted, her hands quickly changing hand seals, instantly creating an even stronger shield.

Everyone was astonished; the opponent's attack seemed to have struck an indestructible wall and was bounced back.

Elder Wu's face turned ashen instantly. He never expected Ye Shuli to have such methods.

"This time, let's see how you resist!" Jiang Ye seized the opportunity and flashed into the gap in the enemy's attack. His long sword was like a dragon emerging from the sea, carrying a sharp sword aura, and went straight for a master.

"That's it? Is that all? Just a tickle?" Jiang Ye was sharp-tongued, but his actions were equally ruthless. With a single sword strike, he sent the expert flying, crashing heavily to the ground, spitting blood, seeing stars, and unable to get up for a long time.

"Wow, boss is awesome!" The henchmen watching from the sidelines were dumbfounded. The speed of this counterattack was faster than a rocket launch.

The originally aggressive invaders were instantly thrown into disarray and began to question their existence: What happened to the crushing victory they were promised?

Why do I feel like I'm the one being crushed?

Seeing this situation, how could Ye Shuli possibly let go of this opportunity to kick a man when he's down?

"I've had my eye on you for a long time!" She sneered, her hands quickly forming hand seals, chanting incantations, and instantly unleashing a "unique technique" that combined modern knowledge with cultivation magic.

Several streaks of light flashed by, accompanied by screams of agony. Several experts were beaten black and blue, crying out for their parents. The scene was chaotic for a time.

The other forces that had been eager to take advantage of the situation all shrank back silently when they saw how fierce Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye were, thinking to themselves: We can't afford to mess with them, let's make a run for it.

Just as Ye Shuli thought the crisis was temporarily over and was preparing to teach the remaining lackeys a lesson, a sinister voice came from behind: "You think you've won just like that? How naive!"

Elder Wu, that old schemer, has actually shown up again!

He should have kept a low profile after his previous failures, but unexpectedly he dared to show his face again.

Moreover, he was holding a magical artifact that emitted an eerie light, its aura so powerful it was suffocating.

Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye felt a chill in their hearts, and a sense of despair welled up within them.

The air around seemed to freeze, so oppressive that it made people feel breathless.

Elder Wu smiled sinisterly, his eyes filled with malice: "This is our Ye family's ancestral treasure—the 'Soul-Destroying Pearl'! Today, I'll show you its power!" He slowly raised the pearl in his hand, its eerie light growing ever brighter, as if it would devour everything...

“Li’er…” Jiang Ye gripped Ye Shuli’s hand tightly, his voice low and hoarse.

Ye Shuli didn't speak, but stared intently at the bead, her eyes flashing with a complex light.

The light from the Soul-Destroying Pearl grew brighter and brighter, as if the surrounding air was being distorted.

Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye held hands, feeling each other's warmth. Under the shadow of death, their hearts drew even closer.

"Take life and death lightly, if you're not convinced, then fight!" Ye Shuli suddenly spoke, breaking the suffocating silence.

She wasn't the kind of obedient girl who would sit and wait for death; the life-or-death situation only fueled her indomitable spirit.

"Alright! Let's take him down together with my wife!" Jiang Ye perked up, his goofy nature unchanged even in the face of life and death.

Just as Elder Wu was about to launch a fatal blow, Ye Shuli suddenly closed her eyes. Her mind flashed through various information about her family's heritage, including secret manuals, formations, and magical treasures...

and many more!

She suddenly realized a possibility!

"Jiang Ye, help me hold him off!" Ye Shuli suddenly opened her eyes.

"Understood, my dear wife!" Jiang Ye understood immediately and switched to "taunting" mode: "Old man, your bead looks pretty powerful, but it's a pity, all show and no substance! Come on, come at me!" As he spoke, he twirled his sword, deliberately revealing an opening to attract Elder Wu's attention.

Elder Wu was indeed fooled. He was enraged by Jiang Ye's flippant attitude and roared, "Boy, you're courting death!" The Soul-Destroying Pearl in his hand shone brightly and rushed straight towards Jiang Ye.

Just then, Ye Shuli moved!

She rushed toward Elder Wu at an astonishing speed, not toward him, but toward the Soul-Destroying Pearl in his hand!

"Not good!" Elder Wu's expression changed drastically. He tried to retrieve the Soul-Destroying Pearl, but it was too late.

A small dagger appeared in Ye Shuli's hand at some point. The dagger looked ordinary, but it emitted a strange aura.

She thrust the dagger into an inconspicuous hole in the Soul-Destroying Pearl at an unusual angle.

With a crisp "crack!", the light of the Soul-Destroying Pearl dimmed instantly. Then, a powerful backlash erupted, sending Elder Wu flying and spitting out blood.

"Pfft..." Elder Wu fell heavily to the ground, his face pale and his breath faint.

He never expected that he would be backfired by his most prized magic weapon!

Everyone around was stunned; the plot twist was too fast!

Just a moment ago, I thought Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye were doomed, but the next second, Elder Wu collapsed?

"Fuck! Awesome!"

"666!"

"Goddess, you are mighty!"

The onlookers gasped in amazement, and Ye Shuli's name once again resounded among the various factions.

However, just as everyone was cheering, Ye Shuli suddenly frowned. She sensed a strange energy fluctuation coming from the depths of her family's inheritance ground.

In the center of the land of inheritance, a mysterious portal had appeared out of nowhere, emitting a faint golden light, as if leading to another world.

"What is this?" Ye Shuli was filled with doubt. The appearance of this portal was completely unexpected.

Jiang Ye also noticed the doorway. He walked to Ye Shuli's side, took her hand, and said softly, "Li'er, let's go in and take a look together."

Ye Shuli nodded, her eyes shining with determination.

She will not back down, whether it is a new opportunity or a greater danger.

Hand in hand, the two walked together toward the mysterious portal...
