The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 463 - 462: Win Over?

Chapter 463: Chapter 462: Win Over?

The sudden clash between the two was something nobody expected.

Even more unexpected was the fact that, after the exchange, Ye Linghai was blasted away by one palm strike from Ye Xuan.

What’s this situation?!

A group of Ye Family experts were all dumbfounded.

It’s known that Young Master Ye Linghai is one of the Ye Family’s four great demons, and his Heavenly Phenomenon, although not as terrifying as Young Master Ye Lingtian, is still an incredibly powerful force. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be called one of the Ye Family’s four great demons.

Their potential and strength were definitely top-notch among the younger generation of the Ye Family.

In terms of their peers, there was even less of a comparison to be made.

Yet, Young Master Ye Linghai was blasted away by this self-proclaimed Ye Xuan, a youth in the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm.

But in the next moment, everyone came to their senses, murder flickering in their eyes.

"Dare to attack Young Master Linghai, cripple him!"

One of the Ye Family experts shouted sternly, making a move against Ye Xuan.

After blasting Ye Linghai away with one palm, Ye Xuan remained nonchalant and said, "Is this how everyone behaves so unreasonably?"

At his words, everyone’s expressions went through a change.

Before the move, Ye Linghai had said that as long as Ye Xuan took one palm strike, he could ride in the Imperial Chariot with him.

Now not only had Ye Xuan taken one palm strike, but he had also blasted Ye Linghai away.

This level of strength should have been recognized by now.

Their actions were indeed somewhat improper.

"But you injured Young Master Linghai, that is unacceptable!" another one of the Ye Family experts shouted sternly.

"Go away!"

At this moment, a voice came from within the Imperial Chariot, belonging to Ye Linghai.

Everyone immediately stopped, waiting for Ye Linghai’s instructions.

It seemed Young Master Ye Linghai was not in trouble after all, which relieved them.

If Young Master Ye Linghai were to return to the Ye Family injured today, they would all be in big trouble.

Their accusations were meant to protect the two young masters.

If the two young masters were injured as a result of their training, perhaps it could be forgiven, but if they were injured by someone else, that would be a dereliction of their duties.

"Your strength is quite impressive, and I recognize you," said Ye Linghai as he stepped out of the Imperial Chariot, casually shaking off his hand and smiling, "Ride with me."

If one were to look closely, they would notice Ye Linghai’s right hand was subtly trembling.

Obviously, the palm strike just then was not as effortless as it seemed.

The Hand Palm Thunder that Ye Xuan cultivated was now at the Fourth Layer. Although Ye Linghai’s cultivation was in the Yin Yang Realm, physically, he wasn’t strong enough to withstand the Hand Palm Thunder without harm.

Moreover, Ye Xuan had compressed the power of the Hand Palm Thunder, otherwise that palm strike would likely have shattered Ye Linghai’s arm!

However, only Ye Xuan knew this.

Ye Xuan did not say anything more and directly entered the Imperial Chariot, casually taking a seat as if he didn’t consider himself an outsider.

This scene made all the Ye Family experts twitch at the corners of their mouths.

This guy.

Ye Linghai’s eye twitched, but he maintained his composure, returning to the Imperial Chariot and ordering everyone to move on.

The two Imperial Chariots once again started to move.

Each Imperial Chariot was pulled by a Blood Flood Dragon, speeding along swiftly, traversing through the air.

These Blood Flood Dragons were specially raised by the Ye Family as Spiritual Beasts, possessing the Flood Dragon Bloodline, yet they had a disposition that was not as proud and violent as that of the Flood Dragons, generally used as mounts for key members of the Ye Family.

Ye Lingtian and Ye Linghai, as four of the Ye Family’s great demons, naturally also enjoyed this privilege.

"Little brother, to have such strength in the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, you should be famous within the Ye Family. Why haven’t I ever heard of you?" Ye Linghai inquired as he looked Ye Xuan over in the Imperial Chariot.

"I came to the Ye Family for the first time a few days ago," Ye Xuan replied slowly.

This statement immediately made Ye Linghai pause, his expression turning weird, with a hint of peculiarity flashing deep in his eyes.

"That is to say, you’re from a branch family?" Ye Linghai asked strangely.

Ye Xuan nodded slightly and said, "Sort of."

Ye Linghai fell silent for a moment before smiling and saying, "No matter, with your strength, little brother, you can make a name for yourself in the Main Family as well."

"I just don’t know which hall you’re currently serving in the Main Family?"

Ye Linghai probed.

By that, he naturally meant to test whether Ye Xuan had joined someone else’s rank after entering the Main Family.

Ye Xuan, knowing full well what Ye Linghai was thinking, however, wouldn’t everyone in the Ye Family have to obey him with just a word now?

So why would he serve any hall?

Ye Xuan slightly shook his head without speaking.

Seeing this, a hint of joy immediately flashed in Ye Linghai’s eyes.

Truth be told, after that palm exchange just now, Ye Linghai had felt that Ye Xuan was a remarkable talent.

Now knowing that Ye Xuan hadn’t joined anyone’s command, this meant there was an opportunity for him to win over this person.

Within the Ye Family, the four great demons were divided into two factions, and there were plenty of overt and covert struggles.

In terms of potential, Ye Lingtian was naturally the strongest, aided by Ye Linghai’s support; the two great demons of Great Elder Ye Chengshan’s lineage naturally stood no chance.

However, the two great demons of Ye Chengshan’s lineage had rallied many geniuses from the branch families to work for them.

In contrast, Ye Lingtian’s side, being from the Family Head’s lineage and coupled with the branch family members’ natural dissatisfaction with the Main Family, resulted in those people joining Ye Chengshan’s camp.

As a result, the number of talents under Ye Lingtian and Ye Linghai naturally dwindled.

Now, seeing a rare talent like Ye Xuan, how could Ye Linghai not be tempted?

"May I know if the young brother is interested in working for me? Just so you know, I am Ye Linghai, one of the Ye Family’s four great demons. I presume you’ve heard of me before?"

As he spoke these words, Ye Linghai couldn’t help feeling a bit smug.

The four great demons of the Ye Family had quite a reputation not just within the family, but throughout the entire East Desolate region.

Everyone knew these four demonic geniuses were bound for extraordinary futures.

So, mentioning he was one of the Ye Family’s four great demons, Ye Linghai naturally had an air of distinctive arrogance.

Ye Linghai’s words were undoubtedly meant to make Ye Xuan submit to him.

Unexpectedly, Ye Xuan looked at Ye Linghai gravely and said:

"Never heard of you."

The smile on Ye Linghai’s face froze, his expression a bit awkward, but then it quickly darkened.

The atmosphere inside the Imperial Chariot suddenly turned peculiar.

Ye Linghai stared at Ye Xuan, a trace of gloom flickering in his eyes.

Was this guy deliberately toying with him?

Everyone in the Ye Family knew who Ye Linghai was.

Even if this guy was from one of the branch families, he definitely should have heard his name.

Yet Ye Xuan was saying he hadn’t heard of him. Wasn’t that clearly toying with him?

However, from Ye Xuan’s expression, Ye Linghai couldn’t detect the slightest hint of mockery; instead, he was serious, which made Ye Linghai uneasy.

Could it be that this Ye Xuan had indeed come from some remote branch family and was unfamiliar with the world?

Ye Linghai couldn’t help but reflect on Ye Xuan’s earlier action of blocking the road.

Perhaps, that was actually the case?

After all, if it had been anyone from the other branch families, they would have greeted the Blood Flood Dragon Imperial Chariot with respect and certainly wouldn’t have thought of blocking its way to get on it.

In an instant, Ye Linghai thought through a lot.

His mind buzzing with thoughts, Ye Linghai didn’t dwell on those minor details anymore and laughed it off, "That’s not important. What’s important is that you should know there are factions within the Ye Family, and I represent the Family Head’s lineage. By siding with me, your status will undergo a drastic change."

"You understand what I’m saying, right?"

Ye Linghai scrutinized Ye Xuan.

This time he spoke very plainly, believing Ye Xuan would understand.

Ye Xuan, upon hearing this, responded with a lack of interest, "Not interested."

Ye Linghai was once again petrified.

Damn it, what is this guy up to?

He’d laid it out so explicitly, didn’t this guy grasp the severity of it?

Ye Linghai was about to speak again.

Ye Xuan, however, glanced at Ye Linghai with a look that was half-smile, half-scorn, and said, "You just said you’re from the Family Head’s lineage?"

Thinking Ye Xuan had a change of heart, Ye Linghai nodded with a smile, "The Main Family Head is my grandfather."

Ye Xuan smiled, feeling a connection to the legacy of Ye Qingyun; so it would seem he was also Ye Lingfeng’s cousin...

Ye Xuan slowly spoke, "The current Main Family Head is no longer your grandfather."

Upon hearing this, Ye Linghai frowned and said sternly, "What do you mean by that?"

"He’s unfit to be the Ye Family Head, so someone else took over," Ye Xuan replied indifferently.

Boom!

In an instant, a terrifying pressure erupted inside the Imperial Chariot.

Ye Linghai stood up, looked down at Ye Xuan, and said coldly, "Boy, I was considering your modest strength in trying to recruit you. You don’t know what’s good for you, and now you dare to show such disrespect. Do you really think I wouldn’t dare kill you?"

"Kill me? You can try," Ye Xuan said calmly.
