Chapter 441: Chapter 440 The Tenth Ancestor of the Ye Family

Even though he was aware that the elder ancestor had been notified, there was no hint of fear in him; on the contrary, he seemed intent on waiting for the arrival of their elder ancestor.

Just what kind of confidence did this guy possess?

Ye Qingyun couldn’t fathom.

But for some reason, he had an intuition.

The anomaly in the Ancestral Hall, he always felt it had something to do with Ye Xuan.

That anomaly, it was the legendary omen of the Ye Family, representing something he was all too aware of!

If that really was the case, then even if the elder ancestor came, it was unlikely that he would make things difficult for Ye Xuan.

Thinking of this, Ye Qingyun suddenly felt a wave of trepidation.

However, the other senior members of the Ye Family were unaware of this; seeing that Ye Xuan had no intention of taking further action, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

With the elder ancestor’s arrival, they could escape their crisis.

As for this Ye Xuan, he was definitely not someone they could deal with!

The hall lapsed into silence.

The entire Ye Family was still shrouded in the darkness of night.

Time passed, minute by minute.

And the hearts of the Ye Family’s members grew increasingly tense.

"The elder ancestor should be arriving soon..."

They all whispered in their hearts.

Boom——

As if to confirm their speculation.

A moment later, a terrifyingly powerful aura began to slowly spread.

Within the void of the Ye Family’s Ancestral Hall, ripples suddenly appeared.

It was as though a pebble had been tossed onto the calm surface of a lake, causing ripples to spread out.

And within those ripples, a foot stepped forward.

Everyone held their breath and watched intently at the space where the ripples were occurring.

Ye Hongyi clenched his fists even tighter, palms sweaty.

He knew that this must be the arrival of the elder ancestor from the Ye Family Main House...

What level of existence was that?

It could be stated with certainty that in the East Desolation Domain, he could walk unchallenged.

"I wonder which elder ancestor has graced us with their presence..." the upper echelons of the Ye Family Main House also glanced sideways at that moment, their hearts pounding with nervousness.

In truth, even they did not know how many elder ancestors the Ye Family had.

The only ones truly in the know were the successive Family Heads.

This was the utmost secret of a cultivation family.

Such entities as the elder ancestors often served as the Stabilizing Needle of a family, their appearance would be the final word on some matters.

Therefore, they too were curious, which elder ancestor had come?

Hum——

The ripples in the void disappeared.

In their place stood a gray-robed elderly man with white hair.

This old man was thin and frail, his cheeks hollow, his skin lacking any luster, and even seemed like tree bark.

He gave off the feeling that a gust of wind could knock him over.

The aura around him was restrained and didn’t radiate outward, making him seem like an ordinary old man.

However, in his deeply sunken, turbid eyes, there was now a sharp brilliance, which had been fixed on Ye Xuan since the moment he appeared.

"Elder Ancestor Zhengrong!"

Upon seeing the old man show up, Ye Qingyun was startled and hurriedly spoke out.

"Elder Ancestor Zhengrong!?" With Ye Qingyun’s loud call, the other senior members of the Ye Family were stunned, then immediately and respectfully said:

"Greetings to Elder Ancestor Zhengrong!"

At this moment, they were all deeply shaken inside.

Elder Ancestor Zhengrong, his real name was Ye Zhengrong.

Among the elder ancestors of the Ye Family, he was the oldest, the most powerful, and the most mysterious existence.

About Ye Zhengrong, the records stated just one word—strong!

If Ye Qingyun was regarded as the publicly acknowledged number one powerhouse among the Ye Family Main House.

Then Ye Zhengrong was the number one powerhouse when counting all those Clan Leaders and elder ancestors!

They had not expected that this elder ancestor would be roused!

Hum————

However, it wasn’t over yet.

After Ye Zhengrong appeared.

More ripples began to emanate in the void behind him.

Subsequently, one by one, supremely powerful entities emerged.

A total of nine!

"The Nine Ancestors!"

Ye Qingyun glanced around and realized he only recognized the last one. For a moment, he felt his mind couldn’t quite process it all.

The Ye Family elder ancestor, referred to by Ye Qingyun as "the Ninth Ancestor", was a young man in a white robe.

Although he appeared youthful, his eyes held a depth of age.

Hearing Ye Qingyun’s voice, the white-robed man known as the Ninth Ancestor gave Ye Qingyun a glance, his expression indifferent, and he remained silent.

"The Ninth Ancestor?!"

The high ranking members of the Ye Family gasped sharply and bowed in respect one after another.

How many elder ancestors the Ye Family had, they did not know.

But the title "The Ninth Ancestor" was known to them.

More than a decade ago, beneath the turmoil caused by Ye Mingtian, the Ye Family faced a crisis, and it was the ninth elder who stepped forward to help the Ye Family pull through.

Therefore, they hold great respect for the ninth elder.

The ninth elder was also the only ancestor they had ever met.

Previously, they didn’t understand why he was called the ninth elder.

But now, they’ve realized.

The title of ninth elder does not mean that this ancestor’s name was Ye Jiu, but rather that he was the last in rank amongst these ancestors.

This time, among the nine ancestors who appeared, he was also the last.

That’s why he was referred to as the ninth elder!

Which is to say, the other eight were stronger than the ninth elder!?

And there was that most mysterious and strongest ancestor, Ye Zhengrong.

All ten ancestors showed up at once!

Such a scene was absolutely shocking.

"Hahaha, we are saved!"

At this moment, the upper echelons of the Ye Family were overcome with excitement.

The appearance of all ten ancestors represented the Ye Family’s most invincible power.

If one were to place the ten ancestors in the entire East Desolation Great Domain, even those East Desolate overlords, like the East Desolate Mo Family and the East Desolation Medicine Pavilion, would probably have to act with great respect!

"Let’s see how this guy dies!" Ye Changhui thought to himself with satisfaction.

The moment he stepped into the Ancestral Hall, he was enraged to the extreme.

Because his father, Ye Chengshan, was actually kneeling on the ground.

Kneeling there all the while.

On the other hand, Ye Xuan and Ye Hongyi were standing.

How could he not be angry?!

Adding to that the things Ye Lingjue, his own son, had said, Ye Changhui’s anger escalated even more.

Now that the ten ancestors had arrived, it was time for Ye Xuan to bow down!

"Eh?!"

However, the next scene took everyone by surprise.

They saw Ye Zhengrong, the eldest among them, leading the ten Ye Family ancestors, all showing solemn expressions, giving Ye Xuan a respectful bow.

Without a word.

But their actions left everyone in the Ye Family dumbfounded.

"What’s going on?!"

"No, the ancestors must be paying respects to our forefathers!" someone said.

After all, if the ten ancestors were paying respects to Ye Xuan, that would be too unimaginable.

Only one person had a pale face, his heart filled with towering waves of shock.

That was the Ye Family Head, Ye Qingyun.

Before the appearance of the ten ancestors, he had been speculating that the anomaly was caused by Ye Xuan.

The actions of the ten ancestors confirmed his thoughts.

The one who had caused the anomaly was indeed Ye Xuan!

And he, as the Family Head, knew better than anyone what that anomaly signified.

It was an ancestral commandment.

If one encounters the trigger of this anomaly, the entire Ye Family must obey his orders!

There must not be the slightest disrespect.

Otherwise.

They would be forever expelled from the Ye Family!

Previously, Ye Qingyun still held onto a glimmer of hope.

But now, his hope was crushed.

The anomaly had indeed been triggered by Ye Xuan.

"It seems you all understand," Ye Xuan said with a calm smile, looking sincerely at the ten Ye Family ancestors.

Originally, Ye Xuan was planning to suppress them all upon the arrival of the ten ancestors, and then proceed to clean up the Ye Family.

But now it seems there was no need for him to take action anymore.

For these ten ancestors, all comprehended the situation.

"I am Ye Zhengrong. If the young master has any commands, I shall dedicate my full effort to fulfill them!"

Ye Zhengrong, the strongest of the ten ancestors, bowed at ninety degrees, with utmost respect.

No one questioned Ye Xuan’s origin, nor would they discuss which branch of the family he came from; they only needed to address Ye Xuan as young master.

Because he was clearer than even Ye Qingyun about the significance of that ancestral commandment.

Submitting to the trigger of the anomaly wasn’t to make the Ye Family submit.

It was to lead the Ye Family to its peak!

"How is this possible?!"

However, Ye Zhengrong’s words left Ye Yongming, Ye Yongzhan, Ye Changhui, and others completely dumbfounded.

The ten ancestors were actually paying respect to Ye Xuan!?

What in the world was happening?!

Ye Hongyi, standing beside Ye Xuan, felt as if he were dreaming.

These ten legendary figures were now showing such deference to little Xuan?!

"Who is now in charge of the Ye Family?" Ye Xuan asked calmly.

Ye Qingyun was prepared to speak.

But Ye Zhengrong interrupted gently, "Of course, it should be the young master who leads!"

"What?!" The people of the Ye Family, already stunned, were completely taken aback upon hearing Ye Zhengrong’s words.

"Ancestor Zhengrong, have you made a mistake? He is from a branch family!" Ye Yongzhan could not help but speak out.
