Qingcheng, Ye Family, Ancestral Shrine.
“Ancestors above, Ye Xuan has no talent, no virtue …… From this moment onwards, depose Ye Xuan’s position as the son of the world, and Ye Gallery will inherit it.”
The one who spoke was an old man in a black robe.
Not far behind the old man stood a teenager, who had a faint smile hanging at the corner of his mouth. This person was none other than Ye Lang.
And on both sides, were the Ye Mansion’s numerous elders.
“Why!”
Right at this moment, a somewhat timid voice suddenly sounded within this ancestral hall.
The crowd sniffed and looked, there was a little girl standing at the doorway, the little girl was about twelve or thirteen years old, her two little hands were tightly pinching the corner of her skirt, her face was with a trace of sickly pallor, she looked a little weak, and there was also a trace of timidity in her eyes.
This little girl’s name was Ye Ling, it was none other than Ye Xuan’s own sister, this time when she heard that the family was going to depose Ye Xuan, she rushed over in spite of the illness in her body.
The black-robed old man’s brows furrowed, “Ye Ling, what are you doing!”
The little girl named Ye Ling gave a slight salute to the people in the ancestral hall and timidly said, “Grand Elder, my brother Ye Xuan is the son of the world, why are you deposing him for no reason?”
The Great Elder coldly glanced at Ye Ling, “This is a family matter, why are you interfering? Get off!”
Ye Ling was obviously a bit intimidated and did not dare to look directly at the Great Elder, but she did not leave, instead, she gathered her courage and walked into the ancestral hall, she once again bowed to the elders on both sides of the field, “Elders, my brother is fighting with the Li family in the South Mountain for the right to exploit that mine, he is fighting for the family right now, his life and death are unknown, and the family is abolishing his position as the lineage son at this moment with a trumped up excuse, this is really is unfair.”
“How dare you!”
The Grand Elder suddenly said angrily, “Whether to abolish him or not, it’s not your turn for a little girl to say anything. Someone come, drag her down for me.”
Right at this moment, the new son of the world, Ye Lang, suddenly laughed, “You should be punished by thirty, as a warning to others!”
The Grand Elder coldly said, “Then thirty strokes of the cane!”
Soon, two Ye Mansion guards rushed in.
Ye Ling Eyes clenched his hands and said with some indignation, “It’s not fair, my brother has been born and died for the family for so many years, even at this moment he is fighting for the family, it’s not fair for the family to treat him like this ……”
One of the guards glanced at that new son of the world Ye Lang, he knew that his chance to perform had come.
The guard smiled coldly, “Young Master Ye Lang inheriting the lineage is the wish of all, what are you yelling about?” Saying that, he raised a slap on Ye Ling’s face.
Splat!
A crisp slapping sound rang out, and Ye Ling’s right face instantly became red and swollen, however, she didn’t cry, she only covered her cheeks in death.
Ye Corridor shot a glance at the guard and laughed, “What’s your name?”
That guard hurriedly saluted, “Subordinate Zhang Mu, I have met the World Son.”
Ye Lang nodded, “You are very good, after I become the son of the world, I need ten personal guards, from now on, you will be my personal guard.”
Hearing this, Zhang Mu was overjoyed, and hurriedly gave a deep salute, “My subordinate will originally go through fire and water for the World Son, I will die for you!”
Ye Lang nodded slightly, “Drag him down, this person is disturbing the ancestral hall, don’t keep your hands off, do you understand?”
Zhang Mu glanced at Ye Lang, when he saw the killing intent in Ye Lang’s eyes, he understood. At that moment, he grabbed that Ye Ling’s hair and dragged him outside.
Just then, Zhang Mu suddenly stopped without knowing what he saw.
And inside the ancestral shrine, everyone turned their heads to look outside the shrine.
Not far outside the ancestral shrine, a teenager was coming this way towards the ancestral shrine, and the teenager was wearing a tight robe that was torn and tattered, and there was blood everywhere.
The person who came was none other than Ye Xuan, who had rushed back from South Mountain!
Seeing Ye Xuan, the corners of Ye Lang’s mouth spread out in a grim smile. And inside the Ancestral Shrine, the brows of the elders furrowed.
The Grand Elder’s eyes were slightly narrowed, his face terribly gloomy as he didn’t know what he was thinking.
In the distance, when Ye Xuan saw the dragging Ye Ling in Zhang Mu’s hands, his face instantly grimaced, “Who gave you the dog guts to touch my sister?”
When Zhang Mu saw Ye Xuan, his face instantly changed drastically, he hurriedly looked towards Ye Lang and was about to speak, just at this moment, Ye Xuan was like a fierce tiger that suddenly leapt in front of him, before the latter could react, Ye Xuan’s fist blasted on his face.
Bang!
Zhang Mu’s head was dazzled and his entire body stumbled and fell.
And Ye did not stop, he once again rushed towards Zhang Mu, just at this time, that leaf corridor inside the ancestral shrine suddenly said angrily, “Ye Xuan, he is my person, how dare you …..”
Ye Xuan suddenly stomped on Zhang Mu’s chest.
Pfft!
A mouthful of essence blood suddenly spurted out of Zhang Mu’s mouth.
Seeing this scene, Ye Lang’s face turned incredibly ugly, while that Ye Xuan looked up at him and said in a sardonic voice, “Your people?”
With that, he violently stomped on Zhang Mu’s face.
Zhang Mu’s entire face was instantly bloody, and his mouth continuously wailed, “Shizi, save, save me ……”
Ye Xuan didn’t care about the wailing and crying for help Zhang Mu, he walked over to Ye Ling’s side, seeing Ye Ling’s appearance, Ye Xuan’s heart was instantly cut like a knife, his hands were clenched tightly, and his entire body was trembling slightly.
When Ye Ling when she saw Ye Xuan, the tears in her eyes sprang out at once, “Brother, it hurts, it hurts so much ……”
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan’s expression turned livid, and in the next moment, he rushed in front of Zhang Mu at once, and then violently slammed his foot onto Zhang Mu’s head.
Bang!
Zhang Mu’s head hit on top of the stone steps and instantly exploded, blood splattering!
Seeing this scene, everyone in the arena froze.
However, Ye Xuan hadn’t stopped yet, he suddenly looked towards that Ye Corridor and said in a fierce voice, “My sister is also something you can move? I’ll grass your ancestors!”
With that, he directly charged towards Ye Lang.
Inside the Ancestral Shrine, the Grand Elder’s face changed drastically, “Unbridled!”
After saying that, he fiercely pointed his toes on the ground, and his entire body directly slid in front of Ye Xuan before slapping his palm at him.
The palm carried a strong wind, harsh and piercing.
The corners of Ye Xuan’s mouth flared with a grimace as he clenched his right hand into a fist, and in an instant, the sleeve of his right hand was directly cracked, and in the next moment, he violently slammed his fist towards the Grand Elder’s fist.
Boo!
A low explosive sound suddenly rang out as the fists collided.
Ye Xuan retreated to the doorway, while the Grand Elder also retreated several steps backward.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the arena was shocked.
In Qingzhou, martial artists were divided into the first grade Body Tempering Realm, second grade Strength Practising Realm, third grade Inner Strength Realm, fourth grade Concurrent Cultivation Realm, fifth grade Uninterrupted Realm, sixth grade Qi Transformation Realm, and above that was the Royal Qi Realm. This big elder is a real Qi Royal Realm, but this Ye Xuan is only in the fifth grade Unrest Realm, two realms away from this big elder, however, Ye Xuan is only slightly behind.
The Grand Elder was also shocked, he knew that Ye Xuan was extremely gifted, and was the son of the Ye family who had been carefully cultivated, and had been fighting for the Ye family for many years, but he had not thought that Ye Xuan’s battle power was actually this strong!
The wings were hardened!
Thinking this, the killing intent deep within the Grand Elder’s eyes became even more intense.
The Grand Elder looked at Ye Xuan dead on, “Ye Xuan, how dare you attack the World Son in public!”
Ye Xuan frowned slightly, “World Son?”
The Grand Elder sneered, “Ye Xuan, I forgot to tell you. You have been deposed as the World Son, from this moment onwards, Ye Gallery is the World Son of my Ye Family!”
Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, “I was deposed as the son?”
The Grand Elder coldly said, “This is the unanimous decision of all of us elders.”
Ye Xuan laughed fiercely, “I fight to the death outside, but you guys depose me as the son within?”
The Grand Elder laughed coldly as he pointed at Ye Lang, who was not far away, “Do you know who he is?”
Without waiting for Ye Xuan to answer, he added, “Ye Lang is a Chosen One, a newly awakened Chosen One!”
Ye Xuan froze.
What was a Chosen One?
The so-called Chosen One was someone who was chosen by the heavens.
In the entire Qing Cang Realm, there is such a group of people, they may be young and mediocre, but one day, they will suddenly ‘awaken’, after the awakening, they are like a new person, not only will the cultivation speed multiply, there will be countless strange encounters, they, like the favourite of this heaven and earth!
The Qing Cang Realm is divided into three continents, he lies in the Qing State, the size of the Qing State has hundreds of countries, he is now in the Jiang State, over the past few decades, there are less than ten people in this Jiang State Heavenly Chosen, and all of these people are not becoming a giant later on.
Ye Xuan slowly clenched his hands, he knew that the Ye family was going to give up on him. Not only were they going to give up on him, they might also want to kill him!
Right at this moment, Ye Lang suddenly laughed; “Elders, this Ye Xuan killed in public and struck out at the Grand Elder, according to the clan rules, what should be done?”
In the arena, everyone looked at Ye Lang, Ye Lang coldly smiled, “According to the clan rules, he should be caned, shouldn’t he?”
The elders in the field nodded their heads in agreement, Ye Lang was the Chosen of Heaven, and was also the first grandson of the Grand Elder, they naturally wouldn’t offend Ye Lang and the Grand Elder at this moment.
The Grand Elder coldly glanced at Ye Xuan, “Someone is coming!”
Soon, dozens of Ye Mansion guards appeared outside the Ancestral Shrine.
Just then, Ye Xuan suddenly said, “In my Ye Mansion, there is a rule that the World Son shall not refuse the challenge of anyone from the younger generation of the Ye Family in order to convince the public.”
Saying that, he looked straight at that Ye Corridor, “I challenge you!”
Ye Corridor’s eyes narrowed slightly as he laughed; “Challenge? Yes, but we have to go on the life and death stage, do you dare?”
Life and Death Stage!
The arena was in an uproar!
Within the Ye family, once one of their own has an irreconcilable conflict, they can go to the Life and Death Platform to resolve it. Once you’re on the platform, you’re responsible for your own life and death!
Ye Xuan laughed coldly, “Let’s go, to the life and death platform!”
Ye corridor but shook his head, “After January, you and I go to the life and death platform, at that time, the patriarch just came out of the gate, you and I will decide life and death, he just do a witness, lest we say we secretly harmed you!”
Ye Xuan thought for a while, then said, “Yes!”
After saying that, he did not say anything else and picked up Ye Ling and walked out of the ancestral shrine.
Watching Ye Xuan’s siblings leave, the Grand Elder looked at Ye Corridor, “He’s always out there fighting people to the death, his battle prowess isn’t bad, can you be sure?”
The corners of Ye Lang’s mouth flared up with a grimace, the killing intent in his eyes was as if it was substantial, “I just awakened, my divine soul and this fleshly body are not yet completely fused, otherwise, pinching him to death would be as simple as pinching an ant to death! After one month, there will be no rivals for me, Ye Corridor, in this Qing City!”
Hearing this, the Grand Elder nodded slightly and smiled, “That’s good.”
After saying that, he looked at an elder beside him and softly said, “The person I sent to South Mountain earlier did not return, and I see that this Ye Xuan’s face is pale and a bit abnormal, Ye Bitter you go and check out what happened to this Ye Xuan in South Mountain.”
The elder nodded and turned to leave.
……
Ye Xuan carried Ye Ling back to the room in his compound, he gently placed Ye Ling on the bed, then rubbed Ye Ling’s cheeks that were still a little puffy and softly said, “Does it hurt?”
Ye Ling wiped the tears on her cheeks, “No, it doesn’t hurt! Brother, why did they depose you as the son? You fought tooth and nail for the family, why should that Ye Corridor depose you if he is the Chosen One? This is not fair!”
Ye Xuan shook his head as he gently rubbed Ye Ling’s still somewhat red and swollen cheeks, “There’s no such thing as fair or unfair, this time, it’s brother’s incompetence, failing to protect you that got you beaten up!”
Ye Ling shook her head, tears flowed from her eyes once again, “Yes, it’s me who’s useless, I can’t help brother with anything, I, I’m brother’s drag.”
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, he gently scraped Ye Ling’s small nose, “Idiot, I’m your brother, brother protecting sister, it’s only natural, understand?”
Ye Ling got up and gently kissed Ye Xuan’s forehead, and earnestly said, “Brother, when I get better, in the future, I will also cultivate, and I will also protect you!”
Ye Xuan smiled, he gently rubbed Ye Ling’s head, “Good, brother will definitely cure your illness! It’s too late, rest first!”
Ye Ling nodded, “I want to listen to a story.”
Ye Xuan smiled, then said, “Once upon a time, there was a mountain, on the mountain there was a temple, in the temple there was a …….”
Ye Ling blankly glanced at Ye Xuan, “Brother you’ve been telling this story for years. However, I like to hear it ……”
Half an hour later, Ye Ling on the bed fell asleep.
After Ye Xuan covered the quilt for Ye Ling, he sat on the ground aside, he gently lifted his robe, where his abdomen was located, there was a long scar, and inside, it was still bleeding.
In order to fight for that mine, he fought a bloody battle with the twelve people of the Li family, a carelessness in the back, he was sneak attacked by a mysterious person, although he killed the other party, but the other party’s knife was also inserted into his dantian, and his dantian should have been shattered.
Dantian broken!
Ye Xuan’s eyes slowly closed, this meant that he could only cultivate his physical body, in could not reach the Sixth Grade Qi Transformation Realm Practising Qi!
Not being able to cultivate was still the second best thing!
Ye Xuan glanced at Ye Ling on the bed, Ye Ling’s face was still pale and she was covered with three quilts, even so, she still felt cold.
A case of typhoid fever!
Ye Ling had been attacked by the cold when she was an hour old, her body was weak all year round, if it wasn’t for the fact that he had fought hard to become the son of the world and made countless achievements for the Ye family, and that the Ye family had continuously provided her with medicinal meals and elixirs every month, she would have long since passed away.
Ye Xuan’s right hand slowly clenched up, now that he was no longer the son of the world, would the Ye family still provide Ye Ling with medicinal meals every month?
Moreover, Ye Ling’s illness was already showing signs of getting worse, if he wanted to cure her, the only way was to go to the Cang Mu Academy in the Jiang Kingdom’s imperial capital, because there, there were the best physicians in the Jiang Kingdom. And in order to enter the Cang Mu Academy, one needed to reach the Royal Qi Realm before the age of eighteen!
Originally, he had a chance because he still had six months to go before he reached the age of nineteen, however, now, with his dantian shattered, it was almost impossible to reach the Royal Qi Realm!
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan turned his head towards Ye Ling who had fallen into a dream state on the bed, “No matter what the cost, brother will definitely cure you!”
A moment later, as if he had thought of something, he took out a pitch-black coloured ring from his bosom, a ring that was left behind by his mother.
For that woman, he was vague, as the other party left when he was ten years old.
Back then, at the back door of the Ye Mansion, that woman hugged her tightly, tears flowing continuously.
And not far behind the woman, there stood a middle-aged man wearing a black robe, in fact, the man was not standing, he was levitating!
In his impression, the man said, “Miss, if you don’t leave, if you let the patriarch know about the young master’s existence, and the patriarch gets angry, this realm is afraid to suffer an extinction, and it will be hard for the young master to live!”
Hearing the man’s words, the woman gently pushed him away, then quietly stuffed this ring into his arms, “Xuan’er, take good care of Ling’er, take good care of yourself, don’t hate mother …….”
After saying this, the woman turned around and left with the black-robed man.
He froze, then went crazy to chase, but unfortunately, he didn’t catch up, because the black-robed man and the woman were using flight.
Just like that, he kept chasing and chasing, until he really couldn’t chase anymore he stopped, and the woman, also didn’t turn back, just like that and the black-robed man disappeared at the end of the sky.
A moment later, Ye Xuan retrieved his thoughts, his right hand tightly pinched that ring, his right hand itself was injured, at this moment, he exerted himself, the wound cracked, a drop of blood suddenly dripped on top of that black ring. The ring in his hand suddenly trembled, Ye Xuan’s heart was startled, he hurriedly looked down at the ring in his hand, in the moment he lowered his head, the ring suddenly transformed into a black light and disappeared between his eyebrows.
In an instant, Ye Xuan disappeared in place, and when he reappeared, he was already in an endless starry sky.
And not far in front of him, there was a high black tower with twelve floors just hovering there. The high tower was surrounded by four huge black chains as thick as pillars, and at the top of that tower, three swords were inserted!
The entire tower was dark and eerie.
Ye Xuan suppressed the shock in his heart as he looked above the entrance to that first level, and there, there were two big blood-red words: Boundary Prison.
And on both sides of that entrance, there were two more lines of blood-red big words that resembled a pair of couplets.
On the left: imprisoning the heavens, imprisoning the earth, imprisoning the gods and devils of the heavens;
Right side: forbidding the Dao, forbidding life, forbidding the ten thousand worlds of human immortals.
