Ye Luoâs sword was emitting a faint glow at this moment. Although Ye Luo hadnât deepened his understanding of the Dao of Space Time much, the Artifact Spirit had grown rapidly, enhancing its strength every moment, which significantly increased the power of the Lingyun Sword.
At least, Shui Yuehan couldnât withstand this strike from Ye Luo.
Shui Yuehanâs face turned cold. Ye Luoâs sudden appearance was entirely unexpected to her, and the increase in Ye Luoâs strength utterly shocked her!
If she had foreseen today, she would never have become enemies with Ye Luo!
Now, they had already lost two supreme masters, and it seemed Ye Luo had no intention of stopping.
"Ye Luo, youâre opposing the Moonwater Tribe. Have you thought this through? If you persist in your ignorance, then donât blame me for not showing past sentiments!" Shui Yuehan spat coldly.
Hearing this, Ye Luo sneered coldly in his heart.
This woman was truly shameless; he hadnât realized it before.
Though sisters, compared to the Ice Princess, they were entirely different kinds of people.
"Forget about past sentiments; I would like to start anew with you!" With that, Ye Luo smirked mischievously, his gaze drifting lecherously over her.
He had long known that Shui Yuehan was a woman, but he wasnât sure if this was her secret. Nonetheless, this frivolous gaze of Ye Luoâs was sure to embarrass her!
Indeed, upon seeing Ye Luoâs eyes, her expression immediately turned livid. This reaction was beyond Ye Luoâs expectations.
"Since youâve chosen to oppose the entire Moonwater Tribe, then donât blame me! Summon the sacred artifact!" She shouted immediately.
"At your command!"
From the void came an aged sigh, unmistakably the voice of the High Priest.
Subsequently, an ancient aura surged forth. Instantly, everyone felt a heavy oppression in their hearts, as if the very heavens and earth had grown more somber.
It was the power of the totem!
Many looked up at the sky in amazement. The power of the totem was usually invoked only when the Moonwater Tribe faced an existential crisis.
This wasnât because invoking the power of the totem was troublesome, but because this power decreased with each use, requiring centuries of accumulation to reach its current level!
If they used it against Ye Luo now, how would they fend off other powerful tribesâ invasions?
Thus, many of the tribeâs higher-ups frowned, as leveraging the totemâs power would undermine the very foundation of the Moonwater Tribe.
"Isnât it too early to use the totemâs power for this issue?"
An elder descended from the void, and simultaneously, the totemâs aura vanished.
It was the tribeâs ancestor making an appearance. Normally, he wouldnât meddle in tribal affairs, but if the totemâs power was used, the consequences would be severe.
"Ancestor!" Shui Yuehan immediately paid her respects, as if she had anticipated this all along, showing no trace of panic.
In fact, this was precisely her plan. Even if those by her side captured Ye Luo, the cost would be steep, making it not worthwhile at all! Therefore, she chose to invoke the totemâs power to draw out the ancestor!
The ancestor sighed slightly, understanding her intentions, "Using the totemâs power without authorization has violated the clanâs rules. Although you are the acting clan leader and the heir apparent, punishment is unavoidable!"
"Hanâer accepts the punishment!" Shui Yuehan replied respectfully.
In truth, everyone understood that the ancestorâs words were merely symbolic. This wasnât a grave offense; perhaps a few days of reflection would suffice.
However, his words carried weight, confirming her status as the future clan leader!
Originally, this matter hadnât been formally announced within the tribe, especially since Princess Xiu now lay within the ice coffin. Though it was almost as if she had fallen, as long as her body remained intact, a new heir shouldnât be appointed!
Nevertheless, the clanâs rules didnât explicitly prohibit this, as they focused on matters of life and death for the tribe, rather than mundane details comparable to Earthâs laws.
For others, it matter little who the clan leader was, as it bore no consequence to them!
However, for Shui Yuebing, it was unacceptable. After all, Princess Xiu was a sister and maternal figure to her.
The ancestor nodded slightly and then turned his gaze to Ye Luo.
"I never expected you to return. If you had settled down to work for my Moonwater Tribe, perhaps I might have rewarded you. But now, after killing two elders, you are clearly challenging my Moonwater Tribe, leaving no escape from death this time!" he said lightly.
His eyes were full of cold indifference. At his stage, few things in the world could stir his heart.
However, Ye Luo squinted, though he had spent decades in seclusion, cultivating in the cave. The scene of those three ancestors humiliating him in the grand hall was vivid in his memory.
At this sight of this ancestor, the pent-up frustration in Ye Luoâs chest immediately erupted.
In response to the elderâs words, akin to a judicial sentence, Ye Luo sneered coldly.
"What are you but an old dog? If you dare bark at me again, donât blame me for being rude!" Ye Luo retorted coldly.
Sss!
At his words, everyone around inhaled sharply, looking at Ye Luo in shock.
The ancestor of the Moonwater Tribe was famed across the Space-Time Channel, rarely showing his face. His authority was built upon countless lives.
Even a careless look could result in death!
Ye Luo dared call him an old dog, a phrase none dared speak aloud in the Space-Time Channel.
Behind him, Qiong Yaoâs face tensed up immediately. Her time in the Moonwater Tribe was not short, so she was well aware of the ancestorâs legend. He was incomparable to Shui Yuehan, and given Ye Luoâs rants, he surely wouldnât spare Ye Luo, plunging her into deep anxiety.
The Ice Princess shared her sentiments.
"Third Master, I wish to save Ye Luo!" the Ice Princess said coldly.
Third Master glanced at her. In his memory, this was the third time the Third Princess had shown such an expression.
The first was when her mother left. The second, when Princess Xiu entered the ice coffin, and now it was the third.
On those prior two occasions, the little girl had demonstrated extraordinary resolve.
The first time, after her mother left, she invoked the power of Qingxiu Peak, searching for three months in vain before ceasing!
