Chapter 442: Chapter 441: The Principles of Dao

"Elder Zhengrong, have you made a mistake? He is someone from a branch family!" Ye Yongzhan couldn’t help but speak out.

This Ye Xuan is clearly from the Ye Family of Wan’an City in the Southern Domain, why do the ten Elders respect him so much?!

And they even said that from now on, the Ye Family will be controlled by Ye Xuan!

Doesn’t this mean that Ye Xuan is now the head of the Ye Family?!

Even though this Ye Xuan possesses unimaginable strength, could it be that not even the ten ancestors can match him?!

Not just Ye Yongzhan, everyone else was also very puzzled, all looking towards the ten ancestors.

"A branch family? Do you look down on people from the branch family?"

Behind Ye Zhengrong, a burly man in a purple robe with unkempt long hair, suddenly spoke out indifferently.

Boom!

In that instant, an earth-shattering power erupted from his body, striking Ye Yongzhan directly.

Bang!

In a flash, Ye Yongzhan’s figure was sent flying, much like Ye Yongming earlier, only stopping when he crashed into the courtyard wall, his expression one of extreme pain.

"Ancestor!"

Everyone’s faces changed dramatically.

Especially Ye Qingyun, who hurriedly said, "Elder Baikui, please calm your anger!"

Elder Baikui.

The leader of the nine ancestors, Ye Baikui!

"Calm my anger?" Ye Baikui straightened up, his tiger-like eyes filled with a cold and deadly intent as he looked at Ye Qingyun casually, "You’re the current Family Head, right? This young man’s words, I suppose they have a lot to do with you."

"Come, tell me about the current situation between the Ye Family Main House and the branch families."

Ye Baikui said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces turned pale.

From what Elder Baikui said, it seemed he intended to seek accountability!

Ye Qingyun gritted his teeth and said, "The Main Family takes the lead, the branches are auxiliary."

"Is that all?" Ye Baikui tilted his head, speaking indifferently, "Lying in front of me can get you killed."

Quivering, Ye Qingyun could only relay the differences between the Ye Family Main House and the branch families.

By the time he had finished, the murderous intent from Ye Baikui almost became tangible.

"A bunch of dogs, what did our ancestor’s teachings say?" Ye Baikui, with a sinister expression, almost growled.

Boom!

Accompanied by Ye Qingyun, all members of the Ye Family Main House were sent flying, spewing blood continuously.

"Ancestor, please quell your anger..."

Ye Qingyun pleaded hastily.

"Quell my anger?!"

Ye Baikui grabbed Ye Qingyun and punched him to the ground, saying coldly, "Have you forgotten that I came from a branch family?"

With those words, the entire room was stunned!

The leader of the nine ancestors, Ye Baikui, actually came from a branch family?!

Ye Qingyun was dumbfounded.

This secret, he had no idea about it!

Ye Qingyun didn’t know, and everyone else knew even less.

Therefore, when Ye Baikui uttered those words, many elders and Elders of the Ye Family Main House were horrified.

They finally understood why Ye Baikui was so furious.

The disdain Ye Yongzhan had just shown towards the branch families was no small matter.

No wonder Ye Baikui was so filled with rage.

Bang!

As the publicly acknowledged strongest member of the Ye Family Main House, Ye Qingyun could neither resist nor had the capacity to do so at this moment, and was directly hammered into the ground by Ye Baikui, with blood gushing wildly.

"Save me, ninth Elder!" Ye Qingyun could only beg the nine ancestors for rescue.

Among those ten ancestors, Ye Qingyun had only seen the ninth one a few times.

For the rest of the ancestors, he could only guess based on where they stood.

Like Ye Baikui, he was standing behind Ye Zhengrong.

This indicated that Ye Baikui was an Elder only second to Ye Zhengrong.

Therefore, Ye Baikui must undoubtedly be the head of the nine ancestors.

Upon hearing Ye Qingyun’s plea for help, the ninth ancestor hesitated to speak.

"Xiaochen, don’t meddle!"

The Elder standing in the ninth position restrained the ninth ancestor, speaking calmly, "Uncle Ancestor Baikui has always hated those from the Ye Family who treat the distinction between the Main Family and branch families as the difference between master and servant. If you intervene, you too will have to bear the consequences later."

When the ninth ancestor heard this, he opened his mouth, then sighed deeply, choosing not to speak.

As for the other six Elders, some appeared indifferent, while others watched with a cold eye, none showing any intention to intervene.

Among them, it was not only Ye Baikui who came from a branch family.

But when they were young, the distinction between the Main Family and branch families was not like this.

The Main Family and branch families were all part of the Ye Family.

Should one have to point out a difference between the Main Family and branch families, it was that the Main Family should be a focal point, consolidating the hearts of all those from the East Desolate Ye Family!

But now, things were clearly not like this anymore.

So, they too supported Baikui taking action.

As a result, our Ye Family Head, Ye Qingyun, suffered a brutal beating at the hands of Baikui, a truly pitiful sight.

That scene left the members of the Ye Family silent as cicadas in winter.

"Enough!"

At that moment, however, a loud roar erupted.

Ye Yongming staggered to his feet, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes fierce as he glared at Baikui and said in a deep voice, "These people came looking for trouble with our Ye Family, yet you, as an Elder of the Ye Family, didn’t lift a finger to help our own, and to make matters worse, you groveled before outsiders and struck at us, how does that make any sense?"

"Our East Desolate Ye Family? It’s nothing but a joke!"

Ye Yongming seemed unable to hold back any longer and completely erupted.

"Yongming..." Ye Yongzhan’s expression changed drastically.

The rest of the Ye Family’s expressions also shifted drastically.

This Ye Yongming must have a death wish, daring to question the Elder like this.

Besides, anyone who wasn’t blind could see that there was something off about Ye Xuan.

Otherwise, why would the ten ancestors voluntarily bow their heads?

Now jumping out to say these things, it’s completely like asking for death!

"You’re reasoning with me?"

Baikui stopped his assault, looking towards Ye Yongming and suddenly cracked a smile, reaching out with his large hand.

Boom!

A terrifying suction force erupted, directly pulling Ye Yongming towards him.

Ye Yongming’s face changed instantly, and he subconsciously tried to activate the Divine Gate, call upon the Grotto Heaven, invoke the Heavenly Phenomena, and use his Life Skill.

However, that force firmly suppressed his powers, leaving him with no resistance at all!

Thump!

Just as Ye Yongming was about to be grabbed by Baikui, Baikui switched his palm to a fist and hammered it down on Ye Yongming’s head, smashing him into the ground.

Boom————

The ground caved in instantly.

Ye Yongming was smashed until his eyes rolled back, knocking him unconscious.

"Let me tell you, my logic is my fist!"

Baikui retracted his fist and coldly swept his gaze over the frightened members of the Ye Family, speaking slowly, "Until your fists are harder than mine, don’t you dare spout nonsense in front of me."

How domineering!

How arrogant!

This was the chief among the nine ancestors, Baikui!

Everyone fell silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to make a peep.

At this moment, Ye Qingyun had been beaten to within an inch of his life and couldn’t speak.

"Baikui, do not be disrespectful in front of the young master."

It was then that the strongest Elder of the Ye Family, Ye Zhengrong, finally spoke unhurriedly.

Baikui cracked a smile and said, "Uncle Zhengrong, my apologies, I couldn’t hold back..."

"Please, young master, forgive me!"

Baikui took the initiative to apologize to Ye Xuan.

The previously domineering Baikui now acted like an obedient child.

The speed of the transformation was astonishing.

Especially Ye Hongyi who stood beside Ye Xuan couldn’t help but twitch his mouth violently.

What kinds of monsters were these...

As for Ye Xuan, from start to finish, he kept his hands in his pockets, his expression calm, without a trace of emotional fluctuation.

Ye Xuan glanced at Baikui and then set his eyes on Ye Zhengrong, "You sure know how to behave."

Baikui might indeed come from a branch family, but his actions this time were clearly meant to show something to him.

The ten ancestors clearly understood his importance, his terrifying nature.

So, they had to take actions that would let him see their attitude.

That’s why Ye Zhengrong only spoke slowly after Baikui was done with the beating.

All of them were old foxes.

But...

Such trifling tricks were far too simplistic in Ye Xuan’s eyes.

Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the murky depths of Ye Zhengrong’s eyes flashed with surprise.

To tell the truth, upon first seeing Ye Xuan, Ye Zhengrong hadn’t felt anything special; he simply remembered the ancestral teachings and paid his respects to Ye Xuan.

In fact, due to Ye Xuan’s young age, he wasn’t initially filled with much hope.

However, it now seemed that this young master was not as simple as he appeared on the surface...

Rightly so, if he was as simple as he appeared, he wouldn’t have been able to cause such an Anomaly.

That Anomaly only occurred once!

Since the founding of the Ye Family, no one had been able to cause such an Anomaly.

But Ye Xuan had done it, and this was proof of many things.

"From now on, the Ye Family shall hold the young master in the highest esteem!"

Ye Zhengrong bowed again and said.
