Before Ye Tian could react, the leader suddenly took out an extremely small bell and raised it in front of him.

This bell was entirely silver in color, and there were no decorative designs on it. It seemed to be a worn-out decoration that was picked up from the fields.

The leader of the group shook the bell at Ye Tian, but Ye Tian's expression changed drastically.

The crisp sound of the bell colliding that everyone heard was as ear-piercing as the sound of hard marble being scratched by a fingernail. There were even howls of malicious spirits within, causing his mind to be unable to calm down.

At the most intense moment, Ye Tian even felt as if his entire body had been divided and eaten by the most vicious devils that had appeared in hell. This kind of pain almost made him faint!

"Puff!" Ye Tian spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes became downcast. Just this kind of bell could destroy him to such an extent!

"Devil Artifact!"

Ye Tian was shocked in his heart. He did not expect that this enemy actually had a Devil Artifact in his hand. He could even rely on this simple Devil Artifact to completely change the situation of the battle!

The appearance of the Devil Artifact could even be traced back to the ancient times of Ye Tian's previous life, when there were numerous Devil Cultivators on the continent. They ate people and drank their blood, and they did all kinds of evil deeds.

They were extremely ferocious. Wherever they went, not a single blade of grass grew. The powerful Devil Artifact that they cultivated using this technique was even more feared by the world!

At that time, Ye Tian had led his troops to eliminate the Devil Cultivator. The fierce battle that happened in the middle was very intense, and many of Ye Tian's subordinates had been sacrificed because of this.

The Devil Artifact that they had seized had been shattered after the battle ended, and only then did the continent obtain a long period of peace.

However, he had never thought that Ye Tian would be able to see the appearance of the Devil Artifact again after a few thousand years. The appearance of the Devil Artifact proved that there was still the existence of the Devil Cultivator in the Chu Country.

When the people from the Ye family saw Ye Tian's sudden injury, they all became nervous, especially Ye Chengfeng, who was about to rush out and save his son, Ye Tian.

"Uncle Ye, you must not appear. My father's guards will be here soon. If you appear at this time, the chances of you being in danger will be higher!"

In the crowd, Hsiang Yunjie saw that Ye Chengfeng was in a bad mood. He immediately stopped Ye Chengfeng from acting.

After all, such a battle was very dangerous. Ye Chengfeng had yet to reach the Earth Profound Stage, so it was impossible for him to save Ye Tian. Instead, he would die in the hands of the enemy.

Even if he had reached the Earth Profound Stage, Ye Chengfeng wouldn't stand a chance in such a battle. Instead, it would distract Ye Tian, causing him to be in greater danger.

Ye Chengfeng was held back by Hsiang Yunjie. Although he really wanted to save Ye Tian, Hsiang Yunjie's analysis made him feel uneasy.

However, when he saw Ye Tian coughing up blood, his heart was bleeding too.

"Retreat! Retreat!"

On the other side, after restricting Ye Tian, the person in the lead didn't even want to take the opportunity to kill Ye Tian. Instead, he and a few of his comrades issued another order.

The most important thing right now was to survive. Apart from that, the rest of the matters had to be replanned.

The remaining few people were very clear about this. They didn't want to continue fighting. They huddled together and escorted the leader away. However, it was also at this moment that the Imperial City's Imperial Guard suddenly appeared and surrounded them.

What happened was very sudden. Some of them didn't even take a few steps before they were restrained. The scene became very tense.

The bell in the leader's hand could only restrict one person. At this moment, it had limited Ye Tian, and it didn't have any effect on the rest of the Imperial Guard.

"Kill!"

The Imperial Guard let out a tiger's roar as they arrived at this place. They attacked those few people with all their might, leaving only the leader of the group behind.

At this moment, Ye Tian was circulating his soul force to clear up his mind and return to normal. However, when he thought of the strange Devil Artifact, he still felt a lingering fear in his heart.

Ye Tian did not wait for the others to react. He rushed out like a white horse crossing a stream and restricted the movements of the person in the lead. Then, he snatched the bell from the person in the lead's hand.

Feeling the faint devil Qi lingering on it, Ye Tian felt even more afraid. This Devil Artifact could not even be considered a qualified magic treasure, but it could produce such a powerful force. If it was even a little stronger, his life would be in danger today.1

"I want to see who you really are!"

Ye Tian pulled off the mask that covered the person's face and immediately said in surprise, "Patriarch Xiong?"

He had investigated all the people who could do such a thing, but the possibility of Patriarch Xiong being the only one was very small.

After all, as the patriarch of an aristocratic family, he couldn't risk his life for such a dangerous thing. Besides, the possibility of the Xiong family appearing after the Devil Artifact was found was even smaller in Ye Tian's heart.

There was nothing unusual about Xiong Dahai. It was absolutely impossible for the Xiong family to know about the existence of the Devil Artifact.

However, Patriarch Xiong's appearance in front of Ye Tian still made him feel somewhat unbelievable.

"Ye Tian, I know that I have lost. I am fully convinced of what happened this time. Now, kill me!"

Patriarch Xiong looked at Ye Tian without any fear. He shouted at the top of his lungs, hoping to die.

Things had already reached such a stage. It was the end of Xiong family. Patriarch Xiong had already thought of the outcome of his defeat.

Moreover, if he killed ___ on the spot, he might be able to save the lives of some of the Xiong family's people. This would be a worthy death.

"We can't kill him. We have to suppress him and interrogate him personally. Before that, we can't let him die."

At this moment, Chu King's cold voice was heard from behind. The Imperial Guard had received the order to immediately suppress Patriarch Xiong, making him lose the ability to commit suicide. They then escorted him to the Imperial Palace.

It was supposed to be a sacred day of celebration, but because of this incident, the grand ceremony was forced to stop.

All the civilians hated the Xiong family to death, but they knew that the Xiong family was the Crown Prince's side, so they didn't dare show it in front of everyone.

The Imperial Guard escorted Patriarch Xiong to the Imperial Palace, but they didn't see Chu King following them back. Instead, they found Ye Tian and asked him about his injuries.

"Since there's nothing else, it's best. Now, follow me back to the Xiong family to interrogate the Xiong family, and that bell. I can see that you are very wary of it. I think you must know its origin."

Chu King could tell from Ye Tian's expression that Ye Tian had some understanding about the bell in Patriarch Xiong's hand.

Although he was the king, Chu King had been in power for so many years. He did not personally experience the existence of the Devil Cultivator like Ye Tian did. He only had a slight understanding of it in some records.

If he wanted to know about this matter in detail, Chu King understood that Ye Tian had to be by his side. Therefore, he needed Ye Tian to accompany him.

Ye Tian naturally would not reject this matter. He also wanted to know where the Xiong family had obtained the bell and Devil Artifact. He wanted to follow the clues and find out the Devil Cultivator behind it.

Therefore, Ye Tian asked the rest of the people from the Ye family to return to the palace. He followed Chu King into the palace and saw Patriarch Xiong, who had been locked up by the Imperial Guard.

When he saw Ye Tian, Patriarch Xiong even expressed that he wanted to kill Ye Tian with his eyes. However, this expression didn't help him at all.

"Patriarch Xiong, you are considered an imperial relative. Who was the one who ordered you to do such a thing?"

As the king of the palace, Chu King said indifferently, "If you repent now, I promise that I will spare your life. There is still room for negotiation in the Xiong family..."
