"Elders, do you really intend to support Ye Kun and the others?" At this moment, in the conference room, the face of Third Elder Ye Cheng turned extremely ugly. Anger was blazing in his eyes as he looked at the other high-ranking members of the Ye Family.
He truly hadn't expected that Ye Kun and Ye Hu would be so shameless.
Over the years, if it weren't for Ye Ming constantly protecting the Ye Family, they would have been swallowed by other families long ago.
But now, with Ye Ming heavily injured and his strength greatly diminished, Ye Kun wanted to usurp Ye Ming's position as Patriarch.
This ungrateful traitor is truly unforgivable.
"Alas! Third Elder, the Patriarch is injured now. Indeed, he's no longer suitable to continue as Patriarch."
"Yes, for the future of the Ye Family, I suggest that the Grand Elder be appointed as the new Patriarch." Other high-ranking members of the Ye Family spoke up, with not a single one supporting Ye Ming.
"Damn it, you ungrateful old bastards." Ye Chen's fists couldn't help but clench tightly, and his chest filled with rage.
His adoptive father had sacrificed so much for the Ye Family, yet the high-ranking members repaid him in this way!
Had their consciences been eaten by dogs?
"I can hand over the position of Patriarch, but you must give Chen'er a spot in the Celestial Flame Academy's enrollment examination." At that moment, Ye Ming, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.
Although his expression seemed calm, his heart was as cold as ice.
Is this the true face of the high-ranking members of the Ye Family?
If it weren't for his damaged Dantian, he might never have seen their true colors in his lifetime.
"Heh! Hahaha, Ye Ming, are you insane? This useless cripple with a shattered Dantian, who hasn't even developed True Qi, wants us to give him an examination spot; on what grounds?" Ye Hu couldn't help but laugh, his tone filled with mockery, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"On what grounds? On this." At that moment, flames of anger erupted from Ye Chen's eyes as he expressionlessly tossed a black bag he shouldered over to Ye Hu.
"This is... no, it can't be." The next moment, the smile on Ye Hu's face froze, and he couldn't help but cry out, unwilling to believe the sight before his eyes.
The bag contained the corpse of his son, Ye Nan.
For him, it was like a bolt from the blue, leaving him unable to recover for a long time.
"Ye Nan, it's Ye Nan."
"Damn it, who on earth killed him?" The high-ranking members of the Ye Family around looked incredibly grim, their eyes fixated on Ye Nan's body, completely unable to comprehend what was going on.
"Could it be Ye Chen who did it?"
"No, that's impossible. How could that trash Ye Chen possibly be a match for Ye Nan?" Some of the high-ranking members of the Ye Family initially suspected Ye Chen but quickly dismissed their thoughts.
After all, Ye Nan's cultivation had already reached the Fifth Layer of the True Qi Realm and he had awakened the Black Ape Bloodline.
How could a cripple who couldn't even cultivate a Sea of Qi have killed him?
"Ye Kun, you and that bitch Ye Lin'Er wanted to use Ye Nan to eliminate me. Unfortunately, you were disappointed." Ye Chen's gaze was icy cold as he stared at Ye Kun, with a terrifying killing intent surging from within him.
If he were strong enough now, he would have directly killed Ye Kun.
Unfortunately, he still wasn't a match for Ye Kun, and acting rashly would endanger his life.
Therefore, he must continue to endure.
One day, he vowed to make Ye Kun pay for his blood debts with blood.
"You vile little beast, you've become so malicious that you dared to kill even Ye Nan and still want to smear me. If I don't eliminate you today, it will only create endless troubles." Ye Kun's face turned incredibly grim, looking extremely sinister.
He had originally thought that Ye Chen was still alive because Ye Nan had changed his mind halfway.
But seeing Ye Nan's body instantly made him realize what had really happened.
He truly couldn't understand how this trash Ye Chen had managed to kill Ye Nan.
Could it be that his dead father had left him some powerful Secret Treasure?
"Ye Chen, you worthless piece of trash, return my son's life to me. I, Ye Hu, swear that today you will die with no burial place." Amid everyone's disbelief, Ye Hu suddenly let out a hysterical roar, his eyes turning blood-red, like a mad beast, as he charged towards Ye Chen.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle.
At that moment, he only wanted to quickly kill Ye Chen, this useless trash, to avenge his deceased son.
So right away, he drove the Gang Qi in his body to the extreme, entwining it above his fist, and fiercely aimed at Ye Chen.
It should be known that the power of Gang Qi generated by a Qi Dao Master is many times more terrifying than True Qi.
Not to mention Ye Chen, even if he were several times stronger, he definitely couldn't withstand the full-force strike from a Qi Dao Master.
"So strong!" Ye Chen couldn't help but shiver, his whole body bristling with tension.
Ye Hu's punch was so terrifyingly powerful that he, too, felt an overwhelming sense of impending death.
If he were really hit, he would be completely done for.
"Too weak, right now I am too weak. Even a random Qi Dao Master can easily crush me. I must become stronger," Ye Chen roared inwardly in unwillingness.
"Who dares to touch my Chen'er, who gave you the courage?" Just as Ye Hu's fist was less than a meter from Ye Chen, an incredibly angry voice suddenly echoed in everyone's ears.
Boom.
Immediately after, a three-zhang tall Red Divine Eagle emerged behind Ye Ming, flapping its gigantic wings, sweeping towards Ye Hu like a Celestial Saber.
"No, wasn't his Dantian damaged? How can he still burst out with such terrifying power!" Ye Hu's face turned more ghastly than a dead man's, unable to believe his eyes.
Ah!
The next moment, agonizing screams spread from Ye Hu's mouth, sounding eerie and chilling.
With just one strike, Ye Hu's body was sent flying for dozens of zhangs, fracturing scores of bones, with blood spouting from his mouth, as he lay struggling in pain on the ground.
"I warn you only once, if anyone dares to touch my Chen'er again, no matter who, all will be killed without mercy." Ye Ming spoke coldly, his tone overwhelmingly imposing, echoing in everyone's ears like a violent thunderbolt.
