Chapter 1203: Taking Sides
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Of course, Ye Chen said this much because he knew that he had a chance to turn the tables. It seed that Ancestor Ye Wudi was also a reasonable person, which is why he had asked so many questions.
It was obvious that Ye Wudi was trying to discern which party was in the right in this situation.
“Do you have the intention to eradicate the Ye family?” Ye Wudi asked one last question, but his gaze fell on Ye Tianzheng and his wife. To be precise, it was on the two demonic beast experts beside Ye Tianzheng and his wife, Bai Zhan and Qing Jian. These two had clearly caught his attention.
Ye Chen took a step forward. “Senior Ye Wudi, although I’m nominally a mber of the Ye family, the Ye family has never seen
as one.”
Ye Chen’s tone was calm, but exuded a sense of authority and greatness.
“Do you know who I am?” he asked.
“You are a tenth-generation mber of the Ye family, and are part of what used to be the main branch. According to our legacy, you or your father should be the current head of the Ye family.”
Ye Wudi paused for a mont and continued, “The person in charge of your branch back then, your grandfather, violated the rules of the family, resulting in the demotion of your branch to the eighth branch!”
“My identity is not limited to this. I’m the Hall Master of the Radiant Hall, and the head of the Hundred Sect Alliance,” Ye Chen replied calmly.
With a casual gesture, he summoned Bai Zhan and Qing Jian to his side.
Elder Bai Zhan snorted and said, “Hall Master, there’s no need to be so long-winded. As long as you give the order, I will return to the Radiant Hall and lead 500 elders and millions of demonic beasts and plants to flatten the Ye family!”
“Impudent!” Ye Wudi’s aura burst out like a dragon, and he wanted to kill Elder Bai Zhan.
His aura was extrely terrifying. Had it not been for the fact that he could not advance to the Semi Divine realm due to the lack of immortal artifacts in the Kunlun Mountains, he would have already reached the middle or late stages of the Semi Divine realm.
“How dare you!”
Qing Jian’s aura burst out, unleashing his own azure dragon phantom that brandished its claws and dispersed Ye Wudi’s aura. He looked at Ye Wudi and said, “My Hall Master is the leader of tens of millions of demonic beasts and plants. If he really wanted to destroy your Ye family, why would he co here alone?”
“Moreover, us demonic beasts and plants are only one of the major forces under the Hall Master’s command!”
“The Radiant Hall has already recruited the major sects, including the Kunlun Sect, the Dao Sect, the Bloody Blade Alliance, and the Blood Night Sect, among others. There are countless Supre Emperor realm experts within our ranks!”
“There’s also the Hundred Sect Alliance ford by more than two hundred minor sects. Our forces can destroy your family with just a wave of our hands!”
“In that case, do you really think that our Hall Master would bother coming here personally if he wanted to destroy the Ye family?”
Qing Jian’s words shocked everyone.
It was only then did everyone realize that the two servants they had been ignoring were actually mbers of the demonic beast race!
Most importantly, from their auras, they were definitely extraordinary!
Since when did the Kunlun Mountains have such powerful demonic beast experts? And why were they willing to serve Ye Chen? Just who or what was supporting Ye Chen?
Many of the family mbers and spectators were discussing. It seed that now, everyone could finally see Ye Chen’s strength and influence. He was no longer alone, and was supported by countless Supre Emperor realm experts.
Although these Supre Emperor realm experts were not by his side at the mont, the force at his command ant that he was undoubtedly the overlord of the Kunlun Mountains.
In the Kunlun Mountains, other than the Huang family who was fighting Ye Chen head-on, no other family had officially declared war on Ye Chen. Even the Ye family and other families were only assisting the Huang Clan in fighting Ye Chen.
Ye Wudi looked around and listened to the ongoing discussion, and his expression gradually changed.
This kid in front of him was that influential? Had he really grown to such a level?
Why was it different from what Ye Fudong said?
“Very good, kid!”
“Well done!” Ye Feng patted Ye Chen’s shoulder and laughed. After all, Ye Chen was his descendant. From hearing the commotion and seeing the expressions of the crowd, he figured out what was going on. He said, “What happened to your grandfather back then was due to the family rules. Unfortunately, there’s nothing we can do about the past. However, since the ancestral worship ceremony has comnced today, I will personally bring you into the ancestral temple and have your grandfather’s morial tablet placed there!”
“Great!” Ye Chen and his family, as well as Bai Zhan and Qing Jian, followed Ye Feng into the ancestral temple as everyone watched.
Ye Chen took out the morial tablet and respectfully placed his grandfather’s morial tablet at the highest level of the Ye family. Regardless of anyone else’s opinion, Ye Chen had the final say.
‘Grandfather’s morial tablet must be at the highest position. Even the morial tablet of the ancestor who founded the Ye family can’t be higher than my grandfather’s.’
“Ye Chen!”
“The morial tablet…”
So people wanted to say sothing, but eventually shook their heads.
Ye Chen’s strength gave him the right to look down on the ancestors of the Ye family. Even if they were angry at the fact that their ancestors’ morial tablets were placed lower than Ye Chen’s grandfather’s morial tablet, what could they do?
Uncomfortable? Unhappy? So what?
They had to endure it!
If they spoke up, they would die!
Ye Chen and Ye Tianzheng finished paying their respects to their grandparents and walked out of the ancestral hall. Once outside, they saw thousands of Ye family elders standing around them. There were many Supre Emperor realm experts, hundreds of Daoyuan realm experts, and the remaining were origin king realm cultivators.
At this point in ti, the nine branches of the Ye family were divided into two camps.
Ye Feng led the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth branches to support Ye Chen, Ye Wudi led the second branch which was neutral, while Ye Kuang and Ye Jianshuang led the main branch, the first, third and fourth branch that were hostile to Ye Chen and wanted to get rid of him.
However, even within those branches, there were many who supported Ye Chen, but there were also many who were hostile to him. When his grandfather was attacked and then suppressed by Ye Fudong using the family rules, it was also the other elders of Ye Jianshuang’s branch who supported Ye Fudong, including the dead Ye Nantian and Ye Wushuang.
As Ye Chen’s ancestor, Ye Feng was also very powerful. He sent a seventh-level Supre Emperor realm elder flying with one strike and said, “Can’t you see the situation clearly? My junior, Ye Chen, has already united most of the forces in the Kunlun Mountains to resist the Blood Spirit Clan!”
“Are you still going to remain traitors to the Kunlun Mountains?”
“Do you really want the Kunlun Mountains to be reduced to ruins?”
“Snap out of it!”
F*ck!
Back then, the Ye family had joined the Blood Spirit Clan mainly because he was focused on cultivation and did not like power. He had lost out to Ye Jianshuang and the others in terms of influence within the family’s high council, which was why the Ye Family had no choice but to submit to the Blood Spirit Clan.
He knew that the Ye Family had already taken a path of no return, so he simply went into seclusion to cultivate and no longer interfered in the Ye family’s affairs.
However, at this mont, Ye Chen’s appearance had given Ye Feng a glimr of hope.
