Chapter 446: The Enraged Xie Hong
Upon hearing this, the Emperor's face turned dark at once.
"You dug up the imperial mausoleum of the previous generation of Emperors, not my father!"
"Huh? Isn't your position as Emperor passed down through generations?" Shen Shen Jingbin was stunned.
"The Qing Dynasty has been dead for ages! Are you still trying to enforce a hereditary system here?" The Emperor had black lines running down his forehead.
Shen Shen Jingbin became agitated upon hearing this. Just as Ye Yu tried to make another move, the old man, possessing some unknown, freakish strength, slapped Ye Yu away, then angrily rebuked the Emperor.
"You dog! If I didn't dig up your father's grave, then you should have just let it slide. Why strike so hard? I spent a full half-year lying in a hospital bed because of that time! If I hadn't been physically robust, you would have sent me to my grave right then and there!"
The Emperor: "..."
Looking at the indignant Shen Shen Jingbin, the Emperor suddenly felt a sense of mental exhaustion.
You motherfucker dug up the Great Xia Imperial Mausoleum! The ones lying in there are all the Emperors of past generations!
It's a miracle you're still alive, and you're here acting indignant?
He couldn't be bothered to bicker with Shen Shen Jingbin anymore; this guy's thought process was truly broken. It seemed that after experiencing that failure, the old man had truly gone mad.
"Heaven-Turning Demon-Slaying Seal!"
Since they couldn't reach an agreement, the Emperor couldn't be bothered to waste more breath.
He raised his hand, unleashing a true killing blow!
Unlike the time he suppressed the heroes at the Xie family, this time, after the Eternal Imperial Seal transformed into a massive seal, it unleashed true killing intent, suppressing it toward the Great Elder of the Ye family before him!
"You damn Emperor! Second Elder, Third Elder, help me!" The Ye family's Great Elder's expression changed wildly.
Two other elders at the Blazing Sun realm hurriedly stepped forward, and only by joining forces were the three of them barely able to block that terrifying seal.
The clash between so many top-tier Blazing Sun realm powerhouses caused the sky above the capital to churn with wind and clouds.
The battle here quickly drew the attention of all the top powerhouses within Great Xia.
At this moment, people from the Student Zhuge, Jiang, and Ji families were all secretly observing this battle, with no one making a move.
Only the head of the Xie family, Xie Hong, was currently arguing with the top powerhouses of the Xie family, his face flushed red.
"Xie Hong implores all ancestors to take action and save Ye Lin! This is the best time to provide timely help!"
The First Ancestor of the Xie family had graying hair and opened a pair of murky eyes.
"Although our Xie family has five Blazing Sun experts, three of them are already too old to be of any use. Ye Lin has had his Eternal Balance taken, and he himself is suppressed under the Ye family's Heaven-Drooping Demon-Subduing Array. It is not worth it to take action for him now."
The First Ancestor looked at the ceiling, as if recalling something.
"Moreover, the Ye family's Heaven-Drooping Demon-Subduing Array once nearly killed a Demon Emperor. Even if the Emperor takes action, plus our Xie family, we cannot save that Ye Lin."
"Xie Hong... you are the family head, do not let emotions dictate your actions. Everything must be based on the interests of the Xie family."
Xie Hong's breathing was rapid; he stood up straight abruptly and said anxiously.
"First Ancestor, it is precisely for the interests of the Xie family that I implore everyone to take action! I have dealt with Ye Lin many times, and I know him very well. He definitely has a trump card to turn the tables!"
"Xie Hong! Stop being unreasonable! Our Xie family cannot wade into these muddy waters! We seek no merit, only to avoid mistakes!"
The First Ancestor frowned and scolded. Having lost the Origin Ancient Artifact and being suppressed under the Heaven-Drooping Demon-Subduing Array, unless the Ye family was willing to release him, this was a completely hopeless situation.
"Damn it, old thing, I think you've gone senile!"
Xie Hong became anxious on the spot. Although he didn't know what Ye Lin's trump card was, the fact that a guy as cunning as a fox was willing to hand over something like the Eternal Balance for Ye Ye Xueqing showed that she was extremely important to him.
If the Xie family could extend a helping hand at this time, they could firmly bind themselves to Ye Lin's ship in the future.
Although this guy was a beast, he still had some bottom line when it came to his own people.
"Xie Hong! What did you say? If you find the position of family head uncomfortable, I can easily replace you!" The First Ancestor glared with rage.
"I don't give a damn who sits in it, I'll * your *! You're not going, right? I'll go myself!"
Xie Hong was also filled with suppressed anger. Although these old, undying ancestors of the Xie family were the strongest powerhouses and had maintained the Xie family's status as one of the Five Great Families.
But at the same time, these ancestors were also narrow-minded and conservative; several times when Xie Hong wanted to carry out sweeping reforms, they had blocked him.
If not for this, Xie Hong believed that with his own ability, the Xie family would not have fallen to being the weakest of the Five Great Families.
"Who are you calling 'I'? You unfilial descendant, you stand right there! Just try walking out that door today!" In his fury, the First Ancestor directly smashed the precious sandalwood table in front of him into wood shavings.
"If you have the guts, kill me! I've had enough! A bunch of old, undying things who won't just lie down, pointing fingers all day long, * your mothers!"
Xie Hong grabbed his demon blade Black Moon, hopped onto his ghost-fire motorcycle, and twisted the throttle, speeding away.
"Rebellion! Rebellion! Pass the word! Starting today, strip Xie Hong of his position as family head!"
Just as the battle outside was raging fiercely and in full swing.
Inside Ye Ye Xueqing's embryonic Divine Domain, however, it was calm and peaceful.
Having temporarily blocked the Heaven-Drooping Demon-Subduing Array, Ye Ye Xueqing dragged the iron chains to Ye Lin's side, reached out to stroke his face, her eyes filled with maternal love.
"Ye Lin."
"I'm here." Ye Lin nodded obediently.
"Tell Mom about what you've been through all these years; Mom wants to hear it," Ye Ye Xueqing said with a smile.
"Okay!"
Ye Lin directly skipped over his childhood experience of growing up in the slums and started from when he changed his profession to a Forbidden Spellcaster.
Ye Lin rambled on and on.
Ye Ye Xueqing listened quietly.
She listened very attentively. When Ye Lin spoke of happy things, she would laugh along with him; when Ye Lin spoke of dangerous things, she couldn't help but frown in worry.
Snow flew across the sky, and apart from the howling wind, only the sound of Ye Lin's voice remained.
Even after finishing his story, Ye Lin still felt a sense of wanting to say more.
Of course, Ye Lin omitted some of the less pleasant experiences; he didn't want Ye Ye Xueqing to know that cold-blooded side of him.
Reporting the good news but not the bad—this was probably a skill every child was born with.
Just like his trip to the Sang country; what Ye Lin told Ye Ye Xueqing was that he had gone to the Sang country to study abroad and further his education.
