Chapter 275: Telling Lies with Eyes Wide Open

A man in black appeared above the Xie family residence at some unknown moment, walking through the air. His eyes held the majesty of one who had held a high position for years, but his face was extremely unfamiliar; no one recognized him.

Although he looked like a stranger, no one present dared to underestimate this man in black in the slightest. To be able to walk on air as if on flat ground—his strength could not be weak, no matter how low it was!

"You are quite a stranger, sir. May I ask who you are? Why must you interfere in the affairs of my Ye family?"

Ye Yuyang cupped his hands in a salute, giving the man in black plenty of face, but the man in black clearly did not appreciate it and responded coldly.

"A nameless person, not worth mentioning. My intervention today is simply because I cannot stand your Ye family's perverse and overbearing conduct, acting as if no one else exists."

Following this, the man in black raised a finger and pointed at Ye Lin.

"This person, I am protecting him today. You cannot take him away."

As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Yuyang's expression gradually turned cold. Ye Yushan's reaction was more direct; he charged straight toward the man in black, cyan lightning swirling around his body like a tyrant stepping out of a sea of thunder.

"What kind of thing are you? You dare to say such things? Go to hell!"

Ye Yushan had already been holding back a belly full of anger, and now, seeing someone who had popped out of nowhere daring to provoke their Ye family, he could no longer endure it.

"Cyan Thunder Annihilation Strike!"

A cyan thunder shadow manifested behind Ye Yushan, and he threw a punch at the man in black. He did not hold back in the slightest with this blow; if an ordinary Bright Moon Realm practitioner faced this punch from Ye Yushan, they would likely suffer heavy injuries on the spot.

Yet the man in black felt no fear at all; instead, a hint of displeasure appeared on his face.

"So barbaric, wanting to take a life at the slightest disagreement. If there were ordinary commoners here, wouldn't they have been devoured by you directly?"

The man in black raised his hand and slapped out directly.

It was a seemingly plain and unremarkable slap, yet it shattered the massive cyan thunder shadow instantly, and then the slap landed solidly on Ye Yushan's face.

*Smack!

Following a crisp, resounding slap, Ye Yushan was sent spinning like a top, finally falling heavily to the ground, unconscious.

A chorus of gasps echoed within the Xie family residence.

A single slap, and the Cyan Thunder Tyrant Ye Yushan was knocked unconscious?

What exactly was the background of this mysterious man in black? Even ordinary Blazing Sun Realm experts would likely find it hard to achieve such a level, right?

When did such a terrifying expert emerge in their Great Xia? Why had they not received a single piece of news?

Many could not help but stare at the man in black's face, but aside from his eyes being somewhat familiar, they truly could not recall where they had seen such a face.

That face was too ordinary, so ordinary that if thrown into a crowd, no one would bother to take a second look.

Ye Yuyang also realized that a tough character had arrived. Although Ye Yushan had been careless, knocking him unconscious with one slap was definitely not something an ordinary person could do.

"Aren't you being a bit excessive, sir?" Ye Yuyang narrowed his eyes.

"He wanted to kill me, and I just gave him a slap to teach him a lesson. Is that excessive?"

The man in black asked in return, then swept a look of disappointment at the crowd present.

"Do you know that when villains are rampant and arrogant, silence is also a sin? So what if it's the Ye family? If you could unite, what is there to fear from one Ye family? So many people being suppressed by two members of the Ye family to the point where they don't even dare to fart—a bunch of cowards!"

These words made the faces of the big shots present turn green and white. As people accustomed to being pampered, when had they ever been pointed at and scolded like this?

Unite? Easy to say, but how could it be so easy to do? Every man for himself, or heaven and earth will destroy him!

"Hmph, what qualifications do you have to say this? What qualifications do you have to lecture us? Preposterous!" A big shot who could not stand the insult spoke up to rebuke him.

"Hahahaha!"

The man in black suddenly laughed.

"I have no qualifications to lecture you? Then keep your eyes wide open and see if I, the Sovereign, have the qualifications to lecture you!"

"Human Emperor Demon-Suppressing Seal!"

The man in black raised his hand, and an aura of imperial authority soared into the sky; it was the condensation of Great Xia's destiny!

A golden seal hovered above his hand. As he pressed his hand down, the golden seal suddenly expanded like a great mountain, covered in golden runes that were mysterious and complex, as if containing the origin of all things in the world, and it descended with a rumbling sound.

In an instant, the mountains crumbled and the earth split; the sky of the Xie family collapsed, and countless buildings fell one after another.

The Twelve Zodiac Guards attempted to intervene to protect the Xie family's structures, but they were blown away the moment they made contact, vomiting large mouthfuls of blood, their eyes filled with horror.

Under this golden seal, it seemed as if everything in the world would be suppressed and destroyed!

A seemingly casual strike, yet it covered everyone present; this golden seal was an indiscriminate attack against everyone there!

Magnificent golden light shot out from the golden seal, descending like pillars supporting the heavens, terrifying and peerless. Everyone present was scared pale.

"Attack together!" Jiang Tiandao shouted, unable to care about anything else, and hurriedly moved to resist the golden seal.

He finally understood now why that old guy Zhuge Yi had run so fast just a moment ago!

That damn old guy, he didn't even give a warning before running! Damn it!

Ye Yuyang's expression changed wildly. Once that "Sovereign" and the golden seal appeared, who could not know who this man in black was?

Aside from the Great Xia Human Emperor, who else dared to call themselves "Sovereign"? Who else could control the Eternal Imperial Seal?

But he could not care about that now. Ye Yuyang roared, and black, eerie water vapor soared into the sky, turning into a giant black pillar in an attempt to block the golden seal.

Yet he could not even slow down the descent of the golden seal. The black pillar shattered inch by inch the moment it touched the golden seal, and Ye Yuyang was crushed on the spot, coughing up blood, his aura instantly withering.

With Ye Yuyang, the strongest among them, suppressed, the others naturally fared no better; almost everyone who tried to resist was left severely injured by the golden seal.

Under the suppression of the golden seal, the most relaxed and calm ones were Ye Lin, Shen Jingbin, and Xie Hong. Ye Lin even took out a deck of cards to play Fight the Landlord.

"A three."

"King Bomb!"

"Can't beat that."

"Airplane, three Kings, three Aces, with a King and an Ace."

Ye Lin and Shen Jingbin were having a great time, while only Xie Hong held his cards with a worried expression, looking absent-minded and watching the Xie family buildings continuously collapsing around them with concern.

"Good son-in-law, are you sure that expert who is likely the Human Emperor really won't go on a killing spree?"

The scene before them looked like he intended to leave no one alive!

"Don't worry, it's guaranteed."

Ye Lin was confident. If the Human Emperor really wanted to go on a killing spree, he wouldn't have specifically changed his disguise. At most, he was just giving everyone present a lesson.

Sure enough, just as the golden seal was about to crush everyone, it suddenly stopped and then began to dissipate.

Many people still had expressions of terror on their faces. Those big shots who were usually high and mighty were now scared like quails, trembling uncontrollably.

One could even faintly smell a foul odor in the air; clearly, someone's sphincter had failed to hold up under the fear.

"Cough! Cough, cough!"

Ye Yuyang no longer had his initial elegance and began to cough in a wretched state. Blood spilled out with his coughs, and there were even fragments of internal organs; he had clearly suffered heavy injuries.

"Your Majesty Human Emperor, do you find it very interesting to play like this?" Ye Yuyang stared at the man in black with hatred.

"What Human Emperor? I am not." The man in black denied it.

"Then how do you explain the Human Emperor Demon-Suppressing Seal from just now?" Ye Yuyang pressed.

"I stole the technique." The man in black said softly, looking calm and collected, as if the act of suppressing everyone present just now had nothing to do with him.

"Then what about the Eternal Imperial Seal? How do you explain that?" Ye Yuyang's eyes were bloodshot as he roared.

"I stole it while the Great Xia Human Emperor wasn't paying attention."
