The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 562 - 561: Taking Sides

Chapter 562: Chapter 561: Taking Sides

"Long Aotian, what do you mean by this?"

In the inner courtyard of Yingchun Pavilion, Ye Lingyi, clad in a clean black robe, had eyes flickering with menacing light as he spoke in a deep voice.

"Just a friendly spar, what else could it mean?"

Opposite Ye Lingyi was a handsome young man dressed in purple finery with a golden crown, idly fanning himself, his handsome face carrying a faint trace of mockery.

"A spar? A spar is an excuse for your lackeys to cause trouble?" Ye Lingyi narrowed his eyes, a majestic Blood Qi rising around him.

The young Heavenly Prides surrounding them were not scared but watched with great interest.

However, some cultivators who didn’t know the reason were still puzzled and whispered:

"Why did they start clashing as soon as they arrived, and all over arguing about whether the Water and Fire Lotus is beautiful or not..."

This remark made the people next to him laugh, and one took the initiative to explain, "You don’t know, but the Eternal Mountain Ye Family and the Divine Dragon Azure Sea Long Family are well-known mortal enemies."

"It’s not just about debating the beauty of the Water and Fire Lotus; often, they fight a life and death battle upon meeting, or at the very least, exchange sarcastic remarks filled with hidden malice."

"So, you see, this kind of scene is something you get used to."

That bro was also cracking melon seeds, explaining patiently.

These explanations made the young Heavenly Prides present who were unaware of the situation understand.

But the first Heavenly Pride to speak was still confused and said, "But what exactly are they feuding over?"

The cultivator munching on melon seeds grinned and smacked his lips, "Who knows? Legend has it that the feud between the two families has lasted over a million years. Nowadays, who can remember what started the quarrel?"

"Over a million years?!" The young Heavenly Pride was startled, and looking at the two parties whose anger was flaring up, he sighed, "No wonder there’s so much animosity; a million years of hatred can turn even the smallest thing into a deadly feud."

"In my opinion, the Ye Family and the Long Family should settle it with a grand clan war, the loser disappearing from the East Desolation Great Domain," a cultivator who loved to stir up trouble shouted.

This statement caused many to look aside, but after seeing who had spoken, they didn’t say anything.

Tian Xingning, a True Disciple of the Nine Dragons Valley Heavenly Martial Divine Sect, was not an unknown person in the East Desolation Great Domain, a man under the Heavenly Martial Divine Son himself.

And the power of the Nine Dragons Valley Heavenly Martial Divine Sect was such that they didn’t fear either the Ye Family or the Long Family.

In the vast expanse of the East Desolation Great Domain, there are too many mighty forces.

There are no fewer than ten Overlord-level forces and hundreds of top-tier first-rate powers.

And that doesn’t even include those reclusive ancient legacies and Great Emperor Immortal Sects.

Otherwise, heh.

All major powers are intricately connected, the slightest touch affecting the whole.

Though Tian Xingning’s words seemed provocative, everyone knew that the Long Family and Ye Family simply couldn’t really go to war.

If they did start fighting, nobody knew what the other major powers would do.

After all, the higher-ups of both the Long Family and Ye Family were no fools.

To initiate a clan war without being sure of a stable victory over the opponent would be seeking one’s own doom.

"Clan war it is then, my Divine Dragon Azure Sea isn’t afraid of your backwater Ye Family," said someone from the crowd.

Tian Xingning’s words were overheard by the Young Prides of the Ye Family and Long Family, immediately stirring up shouts and curses from the Long Family side.

"Who the hell are you to represent the Divine Dragon Azure Sea?" Ye Lingyi coldly swept the speaker with his gaze, then turned to Long Aotian and said indifferently, "Chong Aotian, are you just here to provoke my Ye Family today?"

"Chong Aotian?!"

Upon hearing Ye Lingyi’s words, the onlooking Heavenly Prides in the courtyard couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Long Aotian’s face darkened, his eyes narrowing as he looked at Ye Lingyi, his voice cold, "Without Ye Lingtian around, who are you, Ye Lingyi, to be clamoring in front of this young master?"

"Long Chen!" Long Aotian called out sharply.

Boom!

In an instant, a Divine Rainbow burst forth from behind Long Aotian, rushing toward Ye Lingyi in a flash.

"Be careful, Young Master Lingyi!"

Several Ye Family Heavenly Prides behind Ye Lingyi changed their expressions drastically.

Ye Lingyi’s eyes narrowed, and a streak of bloodlight flashed in his eyes. From his burly figure, it seemed as if a fierce beast was awakening, ready to tear the oncoming enemy to shreds!

The next moment, Ye Lingyi moved too, transforming into a streak of blood rainbow, charging directly at Long Chen with no intention to dodge.

Boom------------

In the next instant, the two clashed mid-air, energy waves tumbling, True Qi raging!

However, within Yingchun Pavilion, a Spirit Array apparently existed, which dissipated much of the force from their battle.

Their clash was intense and forceful; dragon roars and tiger howls could be heard intermittently as their forms moved with extreme speed, elusive to the eye.

"Again with these two boring families..."

Not far away, clad in red armor, stood the Red Sparrow Saintess Ye Qingyue, who spoke with a cold expression.

Truth be told, she had very little interest in these kinds of occasions.

If she weren’t the Red Sparrow Saintess, representing the Red Sparrow Institute, she would certainly not have come here, let alone watch this tedious scuffle.

By comparison, she preferred actual combat and training, such as the opening of Hengduan Mountain in half a month’s time, which interested her greatly.

As for this so-called Heavenly Pride Festival, she was rather uninterested.

Because this time, not many of the truly strongest youths had come.

Those few who had come, she had already sparred with recently, each with their own wins and losses; there was no need to fight them now.

Therefore, she felt bored.

"Even that fellow from the Southern Domain was more interesting..." Ye Qingyue suddenly recalled the guy who had previously detained her junior sisters, Leng Hongmi and Ruan Mengyue.

The feedback from the Vice-Dean was that this fellow seemed very exceptional, and combined with that guy’s attitude towards her, it made her very interested in this person named Ye Xuan.

But the Vice-Dean had said that they should not seek out Ye Xuan carelessly, or there would be unpredictable consequences.

So she had been holding back.

"Really wonder what would happen if that guy showed up at this Heavenly Pride Festival," Ye Qingyue murmured to herself, then immediately felt she was being ridiculously bored for having such thoughts.

Shaking her head, she dismissed those absurd ideas from her mind.

"Senior sister."

Ruan Mengyue and Leng Hongmi approached Ye Qingyue.

"You’ve arrived," Ye Qingyue said with a slight smile.

"Has something happened?" Leng Hongmi asked, puzzled.

"What else could it be, it’s just the same old nonsense between the Divine Dragon Azure Sea Long Family and the Eternal Mountain Ye Family," Ye Qingyue said lazily.

"Them again..." Hearing this, Ruan Mengyue also felt a bit disinterested.

Leng Hongmi, however, began to watch the fight between Ye Lingyi and Long Chen attentively.

"Hongmi, there’s no need to watch anymore, someone from the Mo family is going to intervene," Ye Qingyue whispered.

"Huh?" Leng Hongmi was surprised.

Boom!

But the next moment, indeed, a terrifying aura descended, instantly separating Ye Lingyi and Long Chen.

"Gentlemen, please afford me some face," a young man in green clothes said with a bow, a trace of sternness on his handsome face.

"Mo Zidong?"

Sighting the young man, many prodigies in the inner court recognized him.

Mo Zidong from the Mo family, a freak who cultivated the Green Sky Stars Falling.

"Brother Mo," Ye Lingyi steadied himself and greeted Mo Zidong with clasped hands, his eyes revealing a hint of gravity.

He knew that Mo Zidong was a freak of the Mo family’s generation, and even he, a freak from the Ye Family, might not necessarily win against him.

Long Chen let out a muffled grunt and retreated behind Long Aotian, seemingly injured.

Long Aotian’s eyes narrowed slightly as he watched the newcomer, with a thread of killing intent appearing in his heart.

What was Mo Zidong’s intention? Taking sides?

Mo Zidong’s expression remained calm as he spoke to Long Aotian, "Young Master Long should temper his temper a bit, manage your subordinates properly, to prevent serious mistakes."

After speaking, Mo Zidong turned toward Ye Lingyi with a smile, "Brother Ye, I had heard of your name before, and seeing you today, you truly are brave. We must have a proper drink together!"

Saying so, he actually started leading Ye Lingyi toward the seats.

The scene left some spectators astonished.

Were Mo Zidong and Ye Lingyi acquaintances?

Their attitudes towards Long Aotian and Ye Lingyi were completely different.

To Long Aotian, it was clearly a warning.

And yet, to Ye Lingyi, it was a warm reception.
