Chapter 443 - 442: New Family Head

Chapter 443: Chapter 442: New Family Head

"From now on, the Ye Family shall honor the young master as supreme!"

Ye Zhengrong bowed again as he spoke.

Ye Baikui and the other eight ancestors, one after another, bowed and said, "We’ve seen the young master!"

All ten ancestors bowed together.

All members of the Ye Family were shocked.

Lying on the ground, Ye Lingfeng, who was already more breathless than breathing, naturally also witnessed that scene.

His heart was filled with boundless fear.

What kind of monster had he provoked?

Even the ten ancestors of the Ye Family showed such respect?!

And his grandfather, Ye Qingyun, whom he regarded as his greatest support, had been beaten to the brink of death by Ye Baikui, the leader of the nine ancestors, and was now barely hanging on to life.

His father, Ye Yongming, had also been knocked to the ground, unconscious.

This guy was completely a monster.

At this moment, Ye Lingfeng’s heart was filled with endless regret.

He should never have provoked Ye Xuan!

He should never have gone to Wan’an City in the Southern Domain, and he certainly should not have treated Ye Hongyi that way.

If he had known this would happen, he would have been too late to please Ye Xuan and Ye Hongyi; how could he have provoked them?

But all this was already a fact, an irreversible fact!

"Regard me as supreme?"

Ye Xuan’s lips slightly curled up as he calmly said, "You really know how to climb up the vine."

"So, young master, you will be the head of the Ye Family from now on?" Ye Zhengrong said.

"Spare me, don’t think that I don’t know what you all are thinking. I’m too lazy to even want the position of family head," Ye Xuan said with a light smile.

These words, naturally, made perfect sense coming from Ye Xuan.

But to everyone else, they seemed incredibly arrogant!

Being the head of the Ye Family, what did that represent?

It signified becoming one of the giants of the East Desolate.

Yet Ye Xuan claimed even being offered the position of family head was too bothersome to accept?

If this was said out loud, no one would believe it.

Even the ten ancestors of the Ye Family were taken aback by these words.

Logically, no one would refuse such a good deal.

Yet for Ye Xuan, it seemed like a great loss?

This notion felt rather peculiar to them all.

"I said, my coming here is to cleanse the Ye Family," Ye Xuan said unhurriedly.

"This talk of main and branch families—I do not wish it to be just lip service from you all."

"If such things happen again, then the East Desolate Ye Family will have no reason to exist."

"I’m putting my words here today."

"Those who doubt, feel free to try."

Ye Xuan glanced at the ten ancestors, and Emperor Soul stirred slightly.

Boom!

In that moment, all ten ancestors felt a terrifying power that could suppress the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths suddenly emerge, as if it intended to crush them completely!

Fortunately, the power came as quickly as it went.

Before they could even react, it had already disappeared.

The ancestors stared intently at Ye Xuan, their expressions becoming extremely solemn, and storms surged in their hearts.

The horror of this man far exceeded their expectations.

Originally, they only thought Ye Xuan could provoke anomalies, and his future would definitely be terrifying.

But now, they realized even if Ye Xuan didn’t provoke anomalies, the strength he carried was overwhelming!

It was at this moment that they understood.

Ye Xuan’s refusal to become the head of the Ye Family was not arrogant talk, but truly out of disinterest...

With such power, how could he covet the position of head of the Ye Family?

For such a person, pursuing the Dao was the true path!

They were both delighted and desolate.

Glad that Ye Xuan would not become the head of the Ye Family.

Saddened because, with Ye Xuan being so powerful, it was impossible for them to make him stay content within the Ye Family.

For the Ye Family, this was a tremendous loss.

However, Ye Zhengrong, the strongest old ancestor of the Ye Family, chuckled, cupping his hands and saying, "Regardless of whether the young master takes up the position of family head, we will all follow your commands!"

"Hmm..." Ye Xuan nodded slightly, quite satisfied with Ye Zhengrong’s words.

Ye Xuan looked around and his gaze fell on Ye Lingfeng, as he indifferently said:

"Have someone take Ye Lingfeng away, keep him alive but do not allow him to commit suicide. Let him endure the tortures of eighteen levels of hell for a century, then grant him release."

"If anyone wants to save him, deal with them together."

"Yes!" Ye Zhengrong agreed immediately.

To him, Ye Lingfeng meant nothing.

Compared to the entire Ye Family’s cause, Ye Lingfeng was less than nothing.

Furthermore, this person had provoked Ye Xuan.

"No!" Ye Lingfeng suddenly became terrified and anxious, but he couldn’t even struggle, his eyes filled with fear.

Ye Lingfeng would learn, in the next hundred years, what it means to be unable to live or die.

And this was the price for provoking Ye Xuan.

Silently, a powerful member of the Ye Family’s Hidden Guard appeared and took Ye Lingfeng away.

Ye Lingfeng’s backers, Ye Yongming and Ye Qingyun, were either knocked out cold or too weak to speak, and could only watch helplessly as Ye Lingfeng was taken away, not daring to say anything.

The other clan leaders and elders dared not interject either.

At this moment, they were all silent as the grave.

It was then they felt relieved they hadn’t provoked Ye Xuan, fearing their own fates would be just as miserable.

"Does the Young Master have any other orders?" Ye Zhengrong looked at Ye Xuan and asked.

Ye Xuan looked toward the bewildered Ye Hongyi and slightly smiled, "This is my great-grandfather, Ye Hongyi."

The Ten Ancestors of the Ye Family all looked at Ye Hongyi, somewhat surprised.

Ye Hongyi then came to his senses, hurriedly bowed to the Ten Ancestors, "Junior Ye Hongyi, greetings to the Ten Ancestors!"

The Ten Ancestors of the Ye Family were put in a difficult position, not sure whether to return the greeting or not.

Technically, Ye Hongyi was indeed their junior.

But Ye Hongyi was Ye Xuan’s great-grandfather.

So, it was rather contradictory.

Ye Zhengrong took it in stride and gently said to Ye Hongyi, "From now on, you will be the new Head of the Ye Family, and you can practice the Emperor’s Technique of the Ye Family."

"This..." Ye Hongyi was momentarily at a loss for words and could only look towards Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan slightly smiled and nodded, "Great-grandfather, I said I’d take care of it, right?"

Ye Hongyi’s face grew flushed with excitement.

It was then that Ye Hongyi realized that the ’bold words’ Ye Xuan had previously spoken were actually truths.

That was indeed a display of Ye Xuan’s confidence!

For him, it had surpassed his understanding, which is why it seemed unbelievable.

But now, reality told him that everything Ye Xuan had said was true!

From the beginning to the end, Ye Xuan had never regarded the Ye Family Main House highly.

In Ye Xuan’s eyes, the powerful Ye Family was probably just average.

"This position of Family Head, I still think..." Ye Hongyi organized his thoughts, preparing to decline.

The position of Family Head was indeed very tempting.

But his strength absolutely did not allow him to take up the position.

"Great-grandfather, you have dedicated your life to the Wan’an City Ye Family, it’s only right for you to take up the position of Family Head," Ye Xuan interrupted seriously.

"Xuan..." Ye Hongyi hesitated.

Ye Xuan smiled faintly, "Are you worried about something, great-grandfather?"

"Wait a moment for me, Xuan."

Ye Xuan looked at the Ye Family Ten Ancestors and said in a calm voice, "After today, who will be the Head of the Ye Family?"

His voice boomed like thunder, spreading across the entire East Desolate Ye Family.

At that moment, everyone within thousands of miles who were members of the Ye Family turned their eyes toward the Ancestral Hall, astonished.

"A new Family Head?!"

"How come there was no sign beforehand?"

"Could it be because of that anomaly just now?!"

At that moment, tens of thousands of people from the Ye Family.

Whether from the Main Family or branch families, were all shocked and murmuring among themselves.

"From today onwards, branch family member Ye Hongyi will be the Head of the Ye Family, this is said by the elderly Ye Zhengrong!" Ye Zhengrong’s voice rolled like thunder, swiftly spreading across the entire Ye Family.

"What?!"

This statement, suddenly exploding like a bomb, caused a huge upheaval within the Ye Family.

For many people of the Ye Family, whether Ye Hongyi or Ye Zhengrong, these two names were very foreign.

But the powerful members of the Ye Family were utterly shocked.

Ye Hongyi, known by quite a few as a master from the branch family who had a chance to become a second-generation elder but was demoted to the status of a young master’s servant because of that incident back then.

Now, he was sitting in the position of Family Head?!

The most terrifying part was that the speaker was the Ye Family’s ancestor, Ye Zhengrong?!

"It looks like the Ye Family might be seeing a change of the times!"

At that moment, within thousands of miles, numerous branch family heads of the Ye Family all wore solemn expressions.
