Chapter 394: The Meaning of Blood Relatives

Without the Eternal Balance, facing the behemoth that was the Ye family, Ye Xueqing had no capital left to resist.

She and Lin Xiao were both brought back to the Ye family.

Upon learning that the Ancient Origin Artifact was lost, the entire Ye family was shocked; the Ancient Origin Artifact was, after all, the most important thing the Ye family possessed!

In an instant, the entire Ye family was stirred, and they one after another demanded Ye Xueqing answer for her crimes.

At this point, even if the old Ye family head wanted to protect this daughter, there was no way.

However, whether through emotional appeals or strict torture and interrogation, Ye Xueqing refused to reveal where the male infant had been sent.

In the end, Ye Xueqing was locked away, and the place where she was imprisoned became a forbidden area of the Ye family.

Having lost the Ancient Origin Artifact, the Ye family immediately announced their withdrawal from the world, while in reality, they were incessantly searching for the whereabouts of the male infant in secret.

But the Great Xia Ancient Kingdom was vast and rich in resources; how could it be easy to find a male infant? Furthermore, they were not even certain if the infant was still within the borders of Great Xia.

With Ye Xueqing gone, Ye Yutian logically became the next successor to the position of Ye family head.

At the age of 50, Ye Yutian successfully stepped into the Blazing Sun Realm.

That same year, the old Ye family head received news of the Eternal Balance, but was ambushed by the Demon race on the road and unfortunately perished.

Ye Yutian then logically took over the position of Ye family head.

On the day he became the Ye family head, Ye Yutian got dead drunk and inadvertently revealed the secret of that year to his two biological sons.

It was precisely because of this that Ye Lin was able to learn the truth from the memories of Ye Nangue and Ye Zhenbei.

"Under the Human Emperor Flag... the truth is revealed..."

Ye Lin muttered to himself; he finally knew why he had possessed an undying body since he was young, and he finally knew why he had the Eternal Balance, one of the seven Ancient Origin Artifacts, inside his body.

Having never had any good feelings toward the Ye family, he now felt a deep, loathing hatred.

The level of disgust he felt for the Ye family members could even be compared to that of the Sang people.

However, he also captured a key piece of information from Ye Nangue's memories: Ye Xueqing was still alive!

For these past 20 years, she had been locked in the Ye family's forbidden area.

Although he and Ye Xueqing had never had any interaction, he had truly felt love from her.

It was the unreserved love of a mother for her child.

Given the situation at the time, if Ye Xueqing had abandoned him and Lin Xiao, she, holding the Eternal Balance, could have easily fought her way out alone; once her strength increased to the Bright Moon Realm, perhaps no one would have been able to do anything to her.

Yet Ye Xueqing chose the most foolish method, sacrificing herself to leave the hope of life for her child.

He, Ye Lin, was not a rat hiding in the dark of a sewer.

At the very least, in this world, there was a mother who loved him.

"Ye family..."

A ruthless look flashed in the depths of Ye Lin's eyes; his killing intent had never been as intense as it was at this moment, and he even wished he could charge into the memory and take Ye Xueqing's place.

If he were Ye Xueqing, Ye Yutian would have been framed at 7: 0, and his ashes would have been scattered by 7: 1.

Ye Xueqing was too foolish; if she hadn't kept holding out hope for Ye Yutian, her own kin, she wouldn't have ended up in such a state.

"Mother, you were not decisive enough back then, nor were you ruthless enough."

"Bloodline is merely a relationship in the physical sense; if there is no love, no trust, and no mutual sacrifice, then the only meaning of blood relatives is to be used for refining Blood Skull Gu."

Ye Lin lifted his foot and walked toward the three men, Ye Nangue and the others.

"My dear two cousins, let's start with you two."

Seemingly sensing Ye Lin's killing intent, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in the eyes of Ye Nangue, who had been muddled like a walking corpse.

"Do it!"

"Forbidden Spell: Dark Underworld Binding!"

Ye Nangue roared, and the Dark-type forbidden spell he had been charging for a long time was thrown directly at Ye Lin!

Because he was not a Forbidden Spell Master, casting a forbidden spell not only caused great damage to the body, but the skill's wind-up and chanting time were also extremely long.

Ye Nangue had been playing the fool for so long, waiting for this very opportunity!

Black tentacles emerged from the void, carrying an incomparably intense aura of death, binding Ye Lin like a zongzi.

Ye Zhenbei and Ye Guanhai were not surprised at all and immediately followed Ye Nangue to take action.

The three men's skills bombarded Ye Lin simultaneously, and then they turned and ran, each fleeing in a different direction.

They knew very well that even if the three of them joined forces, it would be difficult to defeat Ye Lin, who possessed an undying body, not to mention that there was also a Zhuge Yi nearby.

All they wanted was to buy themselves time to escape; now that the Spirit Mother was dead, the gate to the Heaven-Refining Secret Realm had reopened.

As long as they escaped the Heaven-Refining Secret Realm, they could live!

But how could Ye Lin, whose killing intent was already set, let the three of them escape?

"Forbidden Spell: Spatial Jump!"

Space rippled like the surface of water, and Ye Lin appeared directly in front of Ye Guanhai.

Ye Guanhai was shocked and was just about to make a move, but the next second, he was met with a dazzling golden bolt of lightning!

Boom!

The terrifying thunder directly engulfed Ye Guanhai; he was already heavily injured, with less than one-tenth of his strength remaining, and he could not resist Ye Lin in his peak state.

When the thunder dissipated, only a black charred corpse remained on the spot.

After using Endless Devour to decompose Ye Guanhai, Ye Lin collected his soul into the Human Emperor Flag, and then, with another Spatial Jump, appeared in front of Ye Zhenbei.

Seeing Ye Lin, who looked like a Shura god of slaughter, Ye Zhenbei's face turned pale.

He knew he certainly wouldn't survive, but as long as he could stall Ye Lin for a while, Ye Nangue would have a chance to escape; when that time came, Ye Nangue would surely bring people to help him take revenge!

Ye Zhenbei roared, his muscles bulging and emitting a special metallic luster, like an indestructible stone wall.

Facing this guy who was like a turtle, Ye Lin couldn't be bothered to tangle with him.

"Forbidden Spell: Eye of Eternal Freeze!"

"Zhuge Yi, he is yours; when I return, I want to see his corpse."

Leaving Ye Zhenbei frozen in place, Ye Lin chased after Ye Nangue.

At this moment, Ye Nangue was completely terrified; looking back on his life, as a favored son of heaven and the son of the Ye family head, he had never been this wretched!

Now, only one thought remained in his mind.

Escape!

As long as he escaped, he would still have a bright future!

The exit of the Heaven-Refining Secret Realm grew larger and larger before Ye Nangue's eyes.

But just as he was about to exit, at the exit of the secret realm, a figure stood holding a flag; just by standing there, an incomparably chilling baleful aura spread out.

The dark golden flag fluttered loudly, and behind him, it seemed as if thousands of wronged souls were screaming and wailing.

"My dear cousin, you are in such a hurry to leave, where are you going?"
