Chapter 784: 784 Ye Wanlan: Kneel down [Chapter 2]
When did it beco possible for a person with the Atlantis bloodline to make decisions about the matters of the Five Great Families of Yunjing?
If word gets out, not only will it beco a laughingstock, but it will also destroy Shenzhou.
“What did I say?” Xiang Shaoyu’s gaze was fierce, “If I hear such words again, the family law will deal with it!”
“Young Family Head, are you protecting her because you’ve been bewitched by her?” The young man gritted his teeth, refusing to back down, “You are the heir of the Xiang Family, yet you don’t stand with the Xiang Family but with outsiders. Are you trying to break our hearts?”
This statent stirred the crowd.
Seeing this, the young man beca more confident, his eyes flashed with cold light, aggressive: “Young Family Head, who knows if she had planned this with that so-called Envoy Miao Yin long ago, staging a scene of mutual destruction to gain our trust?”
“Yes, what if this is an Atlantians’ conspiracy?”
“The Atlantians have always been cunning, we must guard against them!”
“I think the Young Family Head is indeed bewitched.”
“Since Lin Shiyuan has already been executed, the disaster has been resolved. We, the Five Families, should maintain the old ways. Why listen to an outsider?”
“Moreover, we don’t have the ability to fight Atlantis. It’s better to eat well and drink well. If Atlantis really invades, what else can we do but surrender?”
Xiang Shaoyu’s brow moved slightly, he was evidently extrely angry, just about to speak when a hand pressed down on his shoulder.
“Xiang?” Ye Wanlan chuckled, then her smile disappeared, leaving only an icy coldness, “Are you even qualified to bear the na Xiang?”
Her words were like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, causing an uproar among the Xiang Family mbers below.
“Miss Ye, we respect you for expelling two foreign enemies and dealing with internal traitors, you have labored greatly with ritorious deeds.” After a long silence, the Great Elder of the Xiang Family finally spoke, “But to speak such words is too much!”
“Too much?” Ye Wanlan stepped forward, “Then Great Elder, tell , whose Xiang are your Xiang?”
Though her face was still pale and her steps slow, her montum was not diminished, very imposing.
“Naturally, it is the Xiang of the Ning Dynasty Royal Family, the Xiang Clan!” The Second Elder of the Xiang Family shouted angrily, “The Xiang Family has been around for three hundred years. You, a re woman, are still unqualified to be here—”
He didn’t finish his sentence.
Ye Wanlan rely raised her hand, and the body of the Second Elder of the Xiang Family flew backward, crashing into a tree, and fainted on the spot.
The pupils of the other elders shrank abruptly, and the other noisy Xiang Family disciples also quieted down.
The Second Elder of the Xiang Family was, after all, the second-in-command of the Elders Council, and Ye Wanlan, heavily injured, had just woken up, yet…
“Well indeed, the Ning Dynasty Royal Family, the Xiang Clan.” Ye Wanlan raised her head, her gaze sweeping over every Xiang Family mber, “Emperor Yongshun, Xiang Chen, sacrificed himself to protect the people, willingly slitting his own throat at only sixteen!”
Those who t her gaze were shocked by her imposing manner, unable to help but retreat.
Ye Wanlan advanced again: “Prince Xiang Qingtian of Chu guarded the borders for decades, finally dying on the battlefield. Born into a world of chaos, how many peaceful years did he have in his life?!”
This was sothing everyone knew.
The Prince of Chu was the brother of Ning Zhaozong. At his birth, the Ning Dynasty was already showing signs of fragntation, with constant wars around the capital, Xiang Qingtian was born into this environnt.
“Princess Jingan, Xiang Mingyu, whom you refer to as a re woman, fought on the battlefield with Zhaozong when she was young, later becoming the Prince Regent, aiding the young emperor.” Ye Wanlan spoke each word emphatically, “When the enemy pressed upon us, she donned her armor, fought again on the battlefield, and was killed, torn to pieces!”
The body of the Great Elder of the Xiang Family trembled, biting his teeth fiercely, tears falling down his cheeks.
Even Xiang Mingyu, hearing these words, couldn’t help but feel stunned.
“Princess Yongle, Xiang Ke, immolated herself in Yongle Palace, perishing with the enemy.” Ye Wanlan closed her eyes, “That year, she was only nine years old.”
In her ears, she seed to still hear the voice of Princess Yongle calling her Imperial Elder Sister.
But as the flas rose, everything burned away.
“…”
Hearing this, the young n who had spoken harshly before also froze.
Almost everyone had tears in their eyes.
“Yan Wang Hejia…” At this point, Ye Wanlan also couldn’t control her emotions, she paused, her voice hoarse, “Guarded the Northwest, fought to the death, his body… nowhere to be found!”
While Hejia did not carry the Xiang surna, he was still part of the Xiang Imperial Family.
Each of these nas is recorded in history books, and for Xiang Family mbers, they are thunderous, stories they grew up hearing.
But nobody likes tragedy; while it’s easy to witness the prosperity of dynasties, it’s hard to see their decline and fall.
They only wanted to see Yan Wang as the war god peerless in both spear and sword, unwilling to witness his death.
The bloody truth was torn open by Ye Wanlan, tearing not just history, but the hearts of every Xiang Family mber.
The other Four Great Families also fell silent, clearly reminded of the similarly exterminated Six Great Sects.
“Where is your staunch loyalty? Where is your unyielding spirit? Where is the essence blood of your Xiang Clan, standing tall and upright?!” Ye Wanlan suddenly opened her eyes, “Which of them does your Xiang belong to?!”
“…”
The scene was deathly silent, not a sound to be heard.
“You all—” Ye Wanlan closed her eyes again, her voice quieted, “Truly disappoint .”
As Princess Yongning, she was indeed disappointed.
But as long as the Xiang Family could be saved, she would not give up.
The Great Elder of the Xiang Family stood there in a daze, unable to return to his senses for a long ti.
In the Xiang Family, he was already of the older generation, yet still not a hundred years old, far removed from three hundred years ago.
When did the Xiang of the Xiang Family fail to live up to the Xiang of the Xiang Imperial Family?
He didn’t know.
The lips of the Great Elder of the Xiang Family moved: “Miss Ye—”
“Insolence!” Suddenly, a loud shout rang out, “Who dares speak so boastfully in my Xiang Family?”
As the voice fell, a terrifying aura soared into the sky.
“Boom!”
The next mont, a figure appeared on the training ground.
The newcor was an elder, with hair and beard all silver-white, but his face was ruddy without a trace of wrinkles.
Xiang Shaoyu was startled: “Old Ancestor?”
This ancestor of the Xiang Family was nad Xiang Qingfeng, and he was already over two hundred years old.
If he had erged from seclusion, it ant his cultivation had advanced quite a bit.
With Ye Wanlan still injured, if she were to face Xiang Qingfeng…
“Are you Ye Wanlan?” Xiang Qingfeng’s gaze was icy, “I had just erged from seclusion already hearing your great na. A hero indeed grows among the young, but you must know, the Xiang Family is not a place for you to act recklessly. With here, how can you be allowed to speak nonsense and disturb the people’s hearts!”
Ye Wanlan slowly turned her head. She did not answer, only spoke two words: “Kneel down.”
A vast oppressive force burst forth from her, surging toward Xiang Qingfeng like overturning the sea.
