Chapter 245: Chapter 246: The Real Culprit Behind the Scenes

"No, no, this is absolutely impossible!" Ye Wudao’s body trembled uncontrollably.

Ye Wudao couldn’t believe it!

The rumored master of Beiwang Hall was actually his own father—Ye Zhanbei!

This joke was too big!

"Young Master, this is true! I have followed Beiwang for many years, and he often mentioned you to us servants. You are the sole pride in Beiwang’s heart!" the long-haired middle-aged man spoke.

"And who are you?" Ye Wudao’s eyes fixed sternly on the long-haired middle-aged man.

"I am Gu Chen, one of Beiwang’s personal servants..." the long-haired middle-aged man spoke.

Ye Wudao fell silent.

It turns out he had joined Beiwang Hall by mistake, receiving the Beiwang Order, the Beiwang Blade.

It looked like an incredible coincidence.

In the end, everything was arranged by fate or the dark!

"Why did he always conceal it from me?" Ye Wudao clenched his fists.

Why!

Father, why didn’t you tell me earlier!

When he was young, the number of times he had seen his father could be counted on one hand!

Even, he was mocked for being a child without a father!

"Beiwang also had his difficulties!"

Gu Chen lowered his head, tears streaming from his eyes; "Beiwang’s life was spent in battles, safeguarding the nation! He sacrificed his family for the greater good!"

"Does being a great hero mean you have to conceal it from your own son? Haha, was he afraid his son would misuse his so-called banner and become a worthless scoundrel?" Ye Wudao was filled with anger.

"Young Master, Beiwang did it to protect you. You possess the most pure bloodline of the ancient martial Ye family!" Gu Chen said.

Ye family, ancient martial family?

A new term popped into Ye Wudao’s mind.

"Ancient martial families are the oldest, most terrifying clans in Dragon Country! They all have a history of at least five hundred years, and the powerful ancient martial families even boast a thousand-year history. Their family members hold noble ranks everywhere, and it is not rare to see king-level warriors among them! The so-called noble families and clans are nothing but ants in front of the ancient martial families, easily obliterated with a snap of the fingers!" Gu Chen said, his eyes filled with awe.

"Was the Ye family I lived with in the past that powerful?" Ye Wudao was astonished.

"Haha, Young Master, the Ye family in Capital City where you stayed was just the least noticeable among the many branches of the ancient martial Ye family!"

"What, that wasn’t the real Ye family?" Ye Wudao was shocked.

"Haha, that’s right. The real Ye family is called the ancient martial Ye family, only the most noble direct descendants have the qualifications to obtain the title ’ancient martial!’ And the dozens of branches do not have this qualification!"

"Your father, Beiwang, was born into an insignificant branch yet achieved accomplishments that even the ancient martial Ye family looked up to!" Gu Chen said admiringly.

"Were my father and the ancient martial Ye family not on good terms?" Ye Wudao asked.

"Initially, Beiwang and the direct descendants of the Ye family were on good terms, but, because of your birth, a rift grew between Beiwang and the Ye family direct descendants and kept growing!" Gu Chen said.

"Why?" Ye Wudao’s gaze was perplexed.

"Because the blood that flows in your veins is far more noble than that of the direct descendants, which made the direct descendants of the Ye family fearful. Beiwang’s rise was unstoppable, but if Beiwang’s offspring also rose, the ancient martial Ye family would lose their legitimate status!"

Gu Chen said, giving a wry smile; "Beiwang knew this, so he had you fostered within Capital City’s branch of the Ye family, hoping you would go unnoticed!"

"Alas, you can’t wrap fire with paper! The ancient martial Ye family still found out about your existence!" Gu Chen clenched his fists.

"So, the Capital City Ye family I stayed with in my youth was actually destroyed by the ancient martial Ye family?" Ye Wudao’s eyes gleamed with murderous intent.

"Yes, Young Master!" Gu Chen said with grief and indignation.

Ye Wudao clenched his fists, his pupils radiating endless murderous hatred.

He would never forget the year he turned fifteen, carefree and without worries.

The originally peaceful Ye family was wiped out overnight!

The uncles he knew were slaughtered one after another!

His childhood friends fell before his very eyes!

The entire clan lay dead and wounded everywhere!

Ye Wudao could never forget that scene, the deepest sorrow he never wished to mention.

Gu Chen gritted his teeth and said, "The ancient Ye family was too despicable. In order to strangle you in the cradle, they went to great lengths and planned for a long time. They waited for ten years until they found a perfect opportunity!"

"What opportunity?" Ye Wudao asked.

"That was the best opportunity for the ancient Ye family. While the Beiwang was battling with a foreign enemy beyond the borders, the divine soldiers of the ancient Ye family descended upon the Capital City. To be extra cautious, they even colluded with eight of the most powerful kings at the time, setting up a net of heaven and earth to execute you, young master!"

Hiss!

Everyone took a deep breath!

"Could, could the young master Ye survive such an ordeal?"

"The ancient Ye family, along with eight top king-level fighters...that lineup is horrifying indeed!" everyone gasped.

"What, what happened next?" Ye Wudao asked anxiously.

"Beiwang rushed from the distant frontier to save you! With his strength alone, he fought the ancient Ye family and eight top kings and remained unbeaten!" Gu Chen’s eyes filled with admiration; "That battle shook the Capital City, blood staining half the sky, and Beiwang truly lived up to the name of War God!"

What?

Everyone gasped!

A single man battling the ancient Ye family and eight top king-ranked fighters!

How invincible, how magnificent!

"My father, was he really that strong?" Ye Wudao could hardly believe it.

"Seeing that they couldn’t succeed in their prolonged attack, the ancient Ye family struck a deal with the Martial Department. The Martial King personally led an army of three hundred thousand to the gates of the Capital City, marshalling the entire power of the Martial Department to encircle Beiwang!" Gu Chen gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot.

What?

Everyone gasped!

One man against the ancient Ye family, the eight peak kings, plus the Martial King leading an army of three hundred thousand!

Is this still a human?

"Did my father lose?" Ye Wudao clenched his fists, his face unwilling.

The odds were too unfair against his father!

"Not at all!" Gu Chen suddenly exclaimed; "Beiwang did not lose, he severely damaged the ancient Ye family, swept away the eight peak kings, and even injured the Martial King, whose body still bears the indelible wounds of Beiwang!"

Boom!

The whole place exploded!

"Holy shit, he, he didn’t lose?"

"That’s, that’s outrageous! How could he win that?"

Ye Wudao swallowed his saliva, shocked and asked, "What, what happened then?"

Gu Chen looked absolutely despondent and said, "Because, it intervened!"
