Chapter 703: Chapter 704: Meeting the Parents

Ye Wu’s emotions surged like a stormy sea. After seven years of longing, he could no longer control himself and rushed to the dark prison.

Before the dark prison, there stood a golden coffin, and beside it, a thin lady in green clothes sat in a wheelchair, her back looking frail and weary.

"Mom!"

Ye Wudao knelt to the ground all at once.

What?

Hearing this voice, the lady in green couldn’t help but turn her head, her demeanor that of a noble lady—virtuous and graceful. Shock filled her face as tears began to stream down instantly.

The emaciated woman was none other than Ye Wudao’s mother, Jiang Qin!

"Dao’er!"

With that one word, Jiang Qin’s dim eyes filled with hopeful light, her heart’s longing bursting like a dam, and despite her disabled legs, she fell directly off the wheelchair.

"Mom..."

Ye Wudao quickly moved to Jiang Qin, kneeling before her legs, his face in shock, he asked, "Mom, your legs?"

"Dao’er, mom is fine, child, child, why have you come?" Jiang Qin reached out with trembling hands, fiercely stroking Ye Wudao’s face.

"I, I..." Ye Wudao tried to speak, only to find his voice shaking and unable to speak.

"Dao’er, mom knows everything, you’ve come a long way, through untold hardships!" Jiang Qin tightly hugged Ye Wudao in her arms.

"Mom!" Ye Wudao knelt on the ground, bowing his head, "I have been unfilial, causing you to suffer these years!"

As he spoke, Ye Wudao turned around, his gaze intently on Ye Tianba behind him, noting the man attempting to sneak away stealthily.

Bang!

Long Mie walked over and punched Ye Tianba directly.

"Ouch!" Ye Tianba let out a piercing scream, collapsing right in front of Ye Wudao.

"You thought you could run after committing so many wrongs?" Ye Wudao scoffed.

Ye Tianba knelt on the ground, continuously bowing, "Noble nephew, none of this was my idea, it was the Demon Sect’s command!"

"Ye Tianba, you heartless traitor, thirsting for power, deserving a thousand deaths! Killing you a thousand times wouldn’t appease the hatred in my heart, I will hand you over to our direct lineage for trial!" Ye Wudao rebuked furiously.

What?

Handed over for direct lineage trial!

Hearing this, Ye Tianba completely despaired, hastily pleading, "Clan Leader, just grant me a quick death instead."

Ye Tianba, who had committed countless atrocities in his lifetime, had driven the direct lineage out of Ye City and tried to exterminate them.

Falling into the hands of the direct lineage, he feared that death would be harder to achieve than ascending to the heavens!

"Long Mie, first destroy his cultivation, then hand him over to the elders of the direct lineage for disposal!" Ye Wudao ordered.

"Yes." Long Mie nodded, his hand clasping like a dragon’s claw onto Long Mie’s head, invoking a destructive power.

"Ahh!" Ye Tianba let out a painful scream, finally spitting out a mouthful of bright red blood, his entire cultivation destroyed.

Ye Wudao had no time to deal with a mere villain like Ye Tianba, but instead focused on his mother, Jiang Qin. Looking at her disabled legs, he trembled and asked, "Mom, who did this to your legs?"

"It was mother herself..." Jiang Qin said with a smile.

Yourself?

Ye Wudao couldn’t believe it, "No, that’s impossible..."

"It’s all because of these legs, holding your father back!" Jiang Qin said.

What?

Ye Wudao couldn’t believe it and looked up at the golden coffin with dragon patterns in front of him, then suddenly rushed forward.

"It can’t be that this coffin contains my father, can it?" Ye Wudao asked in shock.

Jiang Qin nodded with a bitter smile.

No!

Ye Wudao frantically approached the coffin.

Inside the golden dragon-patterned coffin lay a handsome middle-aged man. Although his eyes were closed, his presence emitted an uncontrollable overwhelming aura that underscored the man’s extraordinary stature.

"Father, what happened to him?" Ye Wudao asked, trembling.

"Seven years ago, your father fought a life-and-death battle with the Demon Sect, a battle that shook the heavens. Even though the eight Great Demons of the Demon Sect joined forces, your father severely wounded seven of them and caused the four protectors of the Demon Sect to retreat into seclusion. However, the Sect Leader of the Demon Sect was too strong. After fleeing the battle, your father returned with only one percent of his peak strength. Otherwise, he would not have fallen victim to the schemes of a petty man like Ye Tianba!"

Ye Wudao took a sharp breath!

Father was too strong!

Facing the Demon Sect’s eight Great Demons and four protectors by himself, and even surviving an attack from the old monsters of the Demon Sect!

Heaven only knows what he went through!

"This man, was a truly upright and awe-inspiring figure!" Long Mie highly commended.

"Mom, don’t you possess the ancient mysterious book, the Shennong Scripture? It can surely save dad, right?" Ye Wudao asked excitedly.

"Ah..." Jiang Qin sighed deeply and said, "The Shennong Scripture is indeed mysterious, capable of bringing someone back from the dead, but with your father’s three souls imprisoned by the Demon Sect, even mom’s mastery of the Shennong Scripture can’t bring back his earthly, heavenly, and human souls!"

What?

Upon hearing this, Ye Wudao’s eyes darkened, and he spat out blood from his mouth.

"Brother, are you alright?" Long Mie anxiously supported Ye Wudao.

"Demonic Sect, the vengeance for my father’s murder, the hatred for deceiving my mother, I, Ye Wudao, would shatter into pieces to seek justice for my parents!" Ye Wudao’s eyes were bloodshot, each word soaked with his tears.

"Exactly, the Demonic Sect is too monstrous!" Long Mie nodded.

"Long Mie, I have a favor to ask of you!" Ye Wudao suddenly spoke.

"Tell me!" Long Mie responded.

"Take good care of my mom!" Ye Wudao entrusted.

"Of course, as brothers, that’s my duty!" Long Mie nodded, then his expression suddenly changed as he realized something was amiss, and shocked, he said, "Wait, what are you going to do?"

"Mom!" Ye Wudao ’thump’ knelt down at his mother’s feet and said, "I have not shown filial piety in front of my mother for seven years, which is a great dereliction. If I survive this time, I will repay your grace a thousand-fold!"

"Dao’er, what nonsense are you talking about, what are you going to do?" Jiang Qin also sensed something was off and couldn’t help but speak.

"Mom, this is the Thousand Beasts Overturning Seal, as long as no saint-level warriors are encountered, your safety is assured!" Ye Wudao took out the Thousand Beasts Overturning Seal from his body and handed it to his mother.

"Wudao, take it back, Mom doesn’t need these!" Jiang Qin shouted.

"Mom, your son bids farewell!" Ye Wudao knelt at his mother’s feet and kowtowed deeply three times.

"Son, Mom doesn’t want this, get up quickly!" Jiang Qin’s eyes reddened with tears, realizing that Ye Wudao was saying goodbye. The brief reunion between mother and son might soon be sundered forever, a pain unbearable at heart.

Ye Wudao approached the golden dragon coffin and suddenly exerted force, lifting the heavy golden coffin and steadily placing it on his shoulders.

"Wudao is seeking vengeance for his parents, demanding debts of blood from the Demonic Sect!" Ye Wudao’s face was resolute.

Boom!

Long Mie was stunned, his eyes widened, "Damn, buddy, have you lost your mind? That’s the Demonic Sect, one of the three great powers of the world, teeming with experts and mighty warriors, and even seated with saint-level monsters! Not just you, I wouldn’t dare to confront them not at my peak, to go there is certain death!!"

Ye Wudao, carrying the heavy golden dragon coffin, walked step by step, his back resolute.

"Dao’er, no, don’t!" Jiang Qin reached out her hand, tears streaming down her face, her body shaking uncontrollably in her wheelchair.

...

Outside the Ye Imperial Clan’s palace.

"Quick, look, it’s Lady Ye!"

"We greet the Lady!" Hundreds of thousands of Ye Imperial Clan members, seeing Long Mie pushing Jiang Qin in the wheelchair, bowed in respect.

Bang!

Bang!

A heavy tread came forth, Ye Wudao carrying the dragon coffin appeared, shocking the crowd.

"My god, what is that treasure coffin on the Clan Leader’s shoulders?"

"Could it be the old Clan Leader Ye Lingtian?"

Tears filled Long Mie’s eyes, his voice choking; "My brother, Ye Wudao, bearing his father’s coffin, today goes to the Demonic Sect seeking justice, never to return until death!"

Boom!

A hundred thousand direct descendants of the Ye Imperial Clan were shocked, many stepped in front of Ye Wudao, saying, "Clan Leader, you must not go!"

"The strength of the Demonic Sect is unparalleled in the world!"

Several clan elders blocked Ye Wudao’s path, staunchly stopping him.

"Step aside!" Ye Wudao spoke, his gaze resolute.

The clan elders exchanged glances, knowing Ye Wudao was determined, and reluctantly stepped aside with bitter smiles.

Dozens of thousands followed Ye Wudao to the Bridge of Life and Death.

"Clan Leader, we will avenge the Demonic Sect with you!"

"Men of the Ye Imperial Clan are not cowards!"

"We are not afraid to die!"

Many hot-blooded youths of the Ye Imperial Clan stepped forward, but before they could approach the Bridge of Life and Death, they were blown away by the terrifying force, spitting blood.

"This bridge was forged by the Demonic Sect, severing the Ye Imperial Clan’s contact with the outside world! Except for those with great destiny or saint-level warriors, none may cross the bridge, or else they will perish!" the second elder spoke.

Ye Wudao, carrying the golden dragon coffin, under the stunned gazes of hundreds of thousands, arrived at the Bridge of Life and Death, drawing intense attention.

Ye Wudao turned around, his eyes lingering regretfully on his mother; "Mom, take care!"

"Dao’er!" Tears filled Jiang Qin’s eyes.

"Long Mie..." Ye Wudao looked at Long Mie.

"Brother, go ahead without worries, I’ve got this," Long Mie said.

Ye Wudao showed a smile, free of any worry, turned around carrying the golden dragon-patterned coffin bearing his father, and stepped onto the only path leading to the outside world, the Bridge of Life and Death.

"Ye Imperial Clan— bidding farewell to Clan Leader Ye Wudao!"

The clan elders knelt down first, and in the next moment, tens of thousands fell to their knees, weeping aloud.

"Ye Imperial Clan— bidding farewell to Clan Leader Ye Wudao!"
