The old man didn’t rise up. He was still trembling, but he tried to say firmly, “the person who is recognized by the Disaster Bow is naturally someone we should respect and protect! We have to follow him until the end, and we should never betray him! Looking for the Disaster Bow and its master was the only reason why we, as the descendants of the Northern Emperor, exist today. We’ve been blessed. When my grandfather survived, he had been blessed as well. Therefore, we will never betray what my ascendants had promised! I, Yan Tianwei, will swear to serve the Master of the Disaster Bow until the end. If I think differently, I shall be destroyed! I believe that your current state is just temporary. For sure, you will be guided the way out to the ultimate summit!”

Every word out of the old man was so firm and heartfelt. Ye Wuchen nodded slightly. When facing the Southern Emperor, he didn’t take out the Star Sword. And now, he had showed the Disaster Bow. He knew very well that if he took out the Star Sword, it was quite possible that they’d try to kill him. And now, with the Disaster Bow, they were doing the completely the opposite – follow him until the end.

“Grandpa, get up.” Ye Wuchen said, satisfied. Afterall, Ye Wuchen was a crippled guy. It really would not be difficult for the old man if he wanted to kill Ye Wuchen. However, here he was, kneeing in front of him to show that he was loyal. Nothing phony was found in this chain of action – and that was exactly what Ye Wuchen expected as well.

“Thank you, Master.” The old man seemed as loyal as an Emperor’s personal assistant. He slowly rose himself, but he couldn’t hide the fact that he’s still emotional, “I didn’t realize that you’re the Master…it’s our destiny. God sent us our Master, God had really witnessed our grit and loyalty…”

Ye Wuchen asked, “are you sure that you’re willing to be loyal to someone you’ve just met, just because of a bow?”

“Forever and after! No betrayal ever! Otherwise I will be destroyed!”

“Even if I ask you to kill another sect of the Northern Emperor, you would accept?” Ye Wuchen was half serious, half testing the old man’s reaction.

The old man replied calmly, “yes, even without the Master’s order!”

“Oh? He once forced you and your grandfather to jump off the cliff. Even though he didn’t own the blood of the Northern Emperor, he’s still part of your family.”

“No!” The old man shook his head and he had a sharp look, “they…they are in no way from the real sect of the Northern Emperor. The people that I’m leading are truly people carrying the blood of the Northern Emperor!”

“Oh?”

The old man said, “in our Northern Emperor Sect, those who have a direct blood relationship of the Northern Emperor are all inherited only by the sons. It’s always the case, that they have several daughters but only one son. And the sons having a direct blood relationship would be the leader of the sect. I have seven daughters but only one son, Yan Duancang. My son has three daughters and only one son, Yan Gongluo. The other people with the family name Yan were all born out of a mother who has another family name. Therefore, there is only one person having the pure blood of the Northern Emperor in each generation. The one you’re talking about is a…bastard! He has no qualifications to lead the sect. And the sect that he’s leading is in no way the sect of the Northern Emperor!”

Ye Wuchen’s frowned even more, his eyebrows were squeezed together. After a long time, he nodded slightly, “now I understand.”

Currently, the people with the family name Yan who lived on the Tianchen Continent owned only a small part of the Northern Emperor’s blood. This did not hinder them to practice several powers like the spells of Yan Spirit and Qiankun over the top. They didn’t fail just because of the non-pure Northern Emperor blood inside them. However, there was still a crucial difference between having pure and non-pure blood of the Northern Emperor. Only God knows how powerful this old man was.

“My master, I am not sure if this Disaster Bow is…?” When looking at the Disaster Bow, the old men was full of faith.

“It was right under your feet. I found it when I was called upon.”

“Under the feet?” The old man was a bit lost. He laughed, “my grandfather, my father, even myself…how are we supposed to know that the long-awaited Disaster Bow was right under our feet? It has been for us for so many years! If my father and grandfather knew, how would they feel…” He breathed a sigh of relief and said respectfully, “Master, don’t you worry, even if it means that I will have to sacrifice my own life, I will help you fully recover.”

“Then…about me and Si Ya…” Ye Wuchen asked and smiled with embarrassment.

The old man was stunned, then he laughed and said: “Ha ha ha ha, a female who is born with the blood of the Northern Emperor will naturally be my Master’s woman. Before they reach the age of twenty-five, they can’t get married. Actually, Si Ya didn’t make such a big trouble after all. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know what to do…now come in, you all.”
