Chapter 697 The Excited Jiang Family

Since that time, when Lin Ye used the Eye of Nightmare to summon the soul of the Nightmare Saint, this semi-artifact has been in Lin Ye's hands.

The Jiang family was also divided into two factions regarding the whereabouts of the lamp. One side believed that the Eye of Nightmare was a holy relic left by their ancestors and must be returned to them for safekeeping.

The other faction believed that Lin Ye had summoned the Nightmare Saint with the holy relic at that time, and was obviously recognized by the Nightmare. Rounding it off, he was also a direct disciple of the Nightmare Saint. Since he was a disciple, this lamp was left to Lin Ye as a gift for apprenticeship.

It must be said that those who opposed it had sufficient reasons and no complaints. It was just a normal request.

But those who agreed were really shameless. They wanted to sell their ancestral property and force Lin Ye to get on their Jiang family's chariot.

But later, under the auspices of Jiang Xu, the head of the Jiang family, it was decided to temporarily leave the lamp to Lin Ye for self-protection.

But it was not because Lin Ye was a direct disciple of Nightmare, but because of the protection of the rising star of the human race. This was the obligation of the Jiang family as a saint family, otherwise they would be unworthy of being the descendants of saints.

Moreover, the Nightmare Eye was only temporarily lent to Lin Ye, not a gift. Whenever the Jiang family needed it, Lin Ye had to return it.

This move not only won over Lin Ye, but also appeased those who opposed it. More importantly, the Jiang family also gained a good reputation for being righteous, further consolidating the prestige of the saint family. It can be said that this was a good thing that killed three birds with one stone.

Lin Ye didn't know this little story at first. He just wondered why the lamp had been in his hand all the time and no one came to take it back.

It was only later when Ke Suichong chatted with him that he told him that such a thing had happened.

And the head of the Jiang family, named Jiang Xu, publicly scolded Bu Chenghui, the chief of the meeting at that time, in the Zijin Pavilion a while ago.

The reason was that Lin Ye was disrespectful to the saints, and Bu Chenghui, as a descendant of the saint family, was still laughing and joking with Lin Ye.

Only he, who was also the head of the saint family, dared to scold Bu Chenghui so bluntly, and the other elders were just sarcastic.

It was a pity that although Lin Ye had always mastered the Eye of Nightmare, he rarely encountered a scene where he could use it.

In addition, Lin Ye was not good at illusion, so the Eye of Nightmare was not very useful in his hands.

However, after Lin Ye got the "Demon Snake Strengthening Muscles" dropped by the Ether Demon Serpent, Lin Ye suddenly had an idea...

Can we use semi-artifact-level materials to fuse them into the Demon Snake Strengthening Muscles to upgrade it to the semi-artifact level?

Then, with a semi-artifact bow and a semi-artifact bowstring, is it possible to impact a real artifact?

But Lin Ye had a semi-artifact-level thing on hand, and the only thing that could be called a semi-artifact level was the Eye of Nightmare.

Since this was the property of the Jiang family, Lin Ye thought about it and finally had to bite the bullet and ask Chen Daosheng to help him go to the Jiang family to ask for mercy, to see if they could make some concessions...

In the end, Chen Daosheng rejected Lin Ye outright and said that he would not do such a thing that might kill him.

But he suggested that Lin Ye go to find Tie Meng, because even if all the people of the Jiang family came together, they could not kill Tie Meng.

Lin Ye was immediately enlightened, and he was so eager to follow the advice that he thanked him and went directly to find Tie Meng.

At first, Tie Meng ignored Lin Ye, but when Lin Ye promised to give Tie Meng a lot of merit points after the matter was accomplished, Tie Meng finally became furious and scolded Lin Ye righteously.

Then he said that he could go to Jiang Xu to talk about this matter, but the merit points would be doubled!

In this way, Tie Meng was persuaded by Lin Ye and helped to act as Lin Ye's lobbyist.

Of course, Lin Ye didn't want to get it for free, but hoped to buy the Eye of Nightmare from the Jiang family. After all, although this thing was in his hands, it was actually owned by the Jiang family.

If the Jiang family was willing to completely transfer the Eye of Nightmare to Lin Ye, Lin Ye promised to give the Jiang family a real artifact in the future.

This deadline might be a bit long, and even Lin Ye himself didn't dare to say when he could fulfill his promise.

This is more like a gamble than a deal!

It's a gamble on whether the people of the Jiang family are willing to believe that Lin Ye can really do this one day.

...

"Iron Saint, this request is too outrageous. I think no matter how radical the Jiang family is, they can't agree! That is a holy relic left by the ancestors of our clan. How can it be given to outsiders casually?"

In the hall of the Jiang family, Jiang Hao, one of the chiefs of Zijin Pavilion, said rudely to Tie Meng who came to help Lin Ye ask for a semi-artifact.

Although Jiang Hao, as the chief of Zijin Pavilion, had joined forces with Chen Daosheng and Xu Lieyungu to eliminate the demon spy Ji Fenglai, his position in Zijin Pavilion was relatively neutral.

He rarely participated in the fight between Chen Daosheng and Bu Chenghui, and rarely paid attention to Lin Ye's affairs.

He was even quite dissatisfied with the fact that the Nightmare Eye remained in Lin Ye's hands.

But this was the decision of his father, Jiang Xu, the current head of the Jiang family, so no matter how dissatisfied Jiang Hao was, he could only hold it in his heart and dared not say anything.

But now, when Tie Meng came to say these words, Jiang Hao exploded, and the Jiang family members around him were also in an uproar.

Originally, Lin Ye only held the Nightmare Eye temporarily, and sooner or later he would return it to the Jiang family.

But he didn't expect that Lin Ye was so greedy that he wanted to directly possess the Nightmare Eye!

He even asked Tie Meng to come to the door to threaten!

How can this make Jiang Hao not angry?

"Never allow it! We won't do this kind of thing that deceives our teachers and destroys our ancestors!"

"This is the sacred relic of the sages of my Jiang family! How can I give it to outsiders?"

"This is simply unreasonable! We had already made a huge concession to lend it to him temporarily, and now he actually wants to occupy it?"

"Iron Sage, you are here too. If it were someone else, we wouldn't be polite right now!"

The elders of the Jiang family were all very angry at this time, and it was really difficult to accept such excessive demands from Lin Ye.

How could such holy relics fall into the hands of outsiders?

Tie Meng didn't even look at the excited Jiang family members. He just grabbed the teapot, opened the lid with one finger, raised his neck and poured the dregs and water into his mouth, then chewed the tea leaves on his own, unmoved at all.

Although his life can be summed up simply in one word, reckless! Two words, head iron! Three words, don’t be afraid of death!

But he was very clear-headed, and he knew that the people in this room who were screaming couldn't do anything!

The person who can really make the final decision for the Jiang family is not Jiang Hao, the chief of the Zijin Pavilion, nor the noisy clan elders, but Jiang Xu, the head of the Jiang family who can make Bu Chenghui laugh in Zijin Pavilion! (End of chapter)
