The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor

Chapter 574: Chapter 573: Sycophant

"You people of Divine Dragon Azure Sea, can’t even move your feet, can you..."

Ye Hongyi spoke indifferently.

By the side of the Ye Family’s Flood Dragon Imperial Chariot stood the people from the Divine Dragon Azure Sea’s Long Family.

It had been said before, the Long Family and the Ye Family were famously sworn enemies in the East Desolate.

Every encounter between them inevitably resulted in a war of words as if it had become customary.

The nearby powerhouses witnessing the scene were unfazed, looking towards the Mo Family Divine City as if they saw nothing.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, having someone in the family who created the top Heavenly Phenomenon from the Heavenly Phenomenon Stele sure changes the way you talk, doesn’t it?"

The people from the Long Family continued to mock in a sarcastic tone.

The Ye Family had the Flood Dragon Imperial Chariot.

And the Long Family had the Divine Dragon War Chariot.

In reality, the creatures pulling the chariots were Flood Dragons, possessing a hint of dragon bloodline, extremely powerful.

Only top powers in the East Desolate like the Long Family and the Ye Family could display such extravagance.

For other Sects, they would treasure Flood Dragons, raising them preciously, or at the very least turn them into Guardian Beasts, not squander them like this.

Faced with another round of mockery from the Long Family, Ye Hongyi no longer responded.

Because Ye Chen, the ninth ancestor, stopped him, indicating there was no need to engage in a war of words.

The enmity between the Long Family and the Ye Family had persisted for far too long.

Occurrences of them drawing swords upon meeting were not uncommon.

Engaging in a verbal spar held little significance.

And now, at the Mo Family Divine City, Ye Hongyi, as the current Family Head of the Ye Family, representing the entire Ye Family, would only lose stature if the argument continued.

After all, the person from the Long Family was not their Family Head, but one of the Long Family’s Elders.

In terms of status, they were not on the same level; thus, it was unnecessary to continue.

Seeing that Ye Hongyi did not continue the conversation, the Long Family Elder also found it boring and stopped talking.

A group proceeded mightily towards the heart of the Mo Family Divine City.

This succession ceremony for Mo Yunchui was held at the Purple Qi Arena of the Mo Family Divine City.

The Purple Qi Arena was the largest arena within the Mo Family Divine City, commonly used for major family gatherings.

The Purple Qi Arena, an octagonal arena in shape, was huge in area and could accommodate millions of Cultivators without feeling cramped.

Of the many who came to Chunnan Mountain, only the leaders of the major powers, along with their entourages and the younger generation of prodigies, were truly eligible to enter the Purple Qi Arena.

Ordinary guards naturally didn’t have the qualification to enter such a place.

But because the succession ceremony was such a grand affair, many powers had come.

Top-tier major powers alone numbered over a hundred, with close to twenty thousand people attending.

The second-tier Sects and Sacred Lands were even more numerous.

All in all, almost eight hundred thousand people entered the Purple Qi Arena.

Everyone also came bearing generous gifts.

The representatives of the major powers entered one after another, and the young Cultivators who had come for the Heavenly Pride Festival also returned to their respective elders’ sides and stayed quietly.

When Ye Xuan and little Meng Chan ascended to the Mo Family Divine City, there were hardly any people on the road.

The two of them walked neither hurriedly nor slowly.

Neither Ye Xuan nor little Meng Chan seemed to be in a hurry, strolling leisurely.

"Xuan Brother!" A voice came from up ahead.

Immediately afterward, a tall and robust figure quickly ran up to Ye Xuan, speaking in an obsequious manner, "Xuan Brother, you’ve arrived."

"Did great-grandfather ask you to wait here for me?" Ye Xuan gave Ye Lingyi a sidelong glance.

Ye Lingyi chuckled and said, "Not really, I noticed that Brother Xuan hasn’t arrived yet, so I took the initiative to tell the Family Head that I would wait here, just to make sure Brother Xuan doesn’t lose his way."

"Brown-noser." Little Meng Chan curled her lips in disdain.

The smile on Ye Lingyi’s face suddenly stiffened as he glared at Little Meng Chan and whispered in a threatening tone, "What would a little girl like you know? This is called reading the situation."

"A brown-noser is still a brown-noser," retorted Little Meng Chan, with no intention of changing her words.

"Hey, whose rude little girl are you?" Ye Lingyi rolled up his sleeves, ready to scare Little Meng Chan.

"She’s from the Meng Family," said Ye Xuan in a gentle voice.

Ye Lingyi’s movements abruptly froze and, looking at Little Meng Chan’s contemptuous face, he turned somewhat pale, "The Meng Family?!"

"Haven’t they been hidden from the world and not come out?"

As a prodigy of the Ye Family, Ye Lingyi was obviously aware of the Meng Family’s reputation.

The revelation that Little Meng Chan was from the Meng Family had frightened him too.

Little Meng Chan snorted twice and said, "Brown-noser, give me some space. If it weren’t for the fact that you and Ye Xuan are both from the Ye Family, I wouldn’t mind putting you in your place."

Ye Lingyi’s mouth twitched, but he obediently stepped back and followed behind Ye Xuan and Little Meng Chan, not daring to say anything more.

The Meng Family was one of the three great Confucian families, with a heritage far beyond imagination.

Even the overlord-level powers of East Desolate like the Mo Family, Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect, and Medicine Pavilion wouldn’t dare to provoke such a hidden powerhouse lightly.

However, Ye Lingyi was very curious about how Brother Xuan had come to know someone from the Meng Family.

Looking at the little girl, it seemed she had a not-so-low status in the Meng Family.

"Have you come alone this time?" Ye Xuan asked slowly.

Ye Lingyi was momentarily taken aback and asked uncertainly, "Are you asking me, Brother Xuan?"

"Mm," Ye Xuan replied.

Ye Lingyi hurriedly said, "Ye Lingzhu is in seclusion trying to break through to Heavenly Human, so she didn’t come this time, but she should be out of seclusion when Hengduan Mountain opens."

Ye Xuan heard this news without surprise.

He had casually investigated when the four great prodigies of the Ye Family had made their appearance at the same time.

Ye Lingtian was indeed the foremost among the four great prodigies of the Ye Family.

The second was Ye Lingzhu.

After Ye Lingtian was imprisoned, Ye Lingzhu naturally became the number one talent of the Ye Family in the public eye.

When he had suppressed Ye Lingtian and Ye Linghai before, Ye Lingzhu must have realized something. Her current attempt to break through to Heavenly Human was expected.

"By the way, Brother Xuan, will you go when Hengduan Mountain opens?" Ye Lingyi asked enthusiastically.

"Of course," Ye Xuan replied without concealment.

"That’s really great!" exclaimed Ye Lingyi excitedly. "With Brother Xuan taking action, other forces won’t even think about competing with our Ye Family then!"

"Could you be any more of a brown-noser?" Little Meng Chan could hardly stand it anymore and remarked with a disgusted expression.

Ye Lingyi forced a dry laugh but still earnestly said, "Miss Meng, don’t think I’m just flattering. In the hearts of us Ye Family people, Brother Xuan is like a godlike figure."

Little Meng Chan looked at Ye Xuan, then at Ye Lingyi, and remained silent.

She quite agreed with those words.

She was very aware that Ye Xuan could not possibly be an ordinary youth from the Ye Family.

His background was much more significant than hers.

Much more significant indeed.

Just by daring to inquire about the Revenge Lineage, Little Meng Chan knew this.

Little Meng Chan even wondered if this guy could be the reincarnation of that unmatched, peerless Demon Emperor, Ye Qian Gu from ages past?

To be bold, it was indeed possible to think this way.

"By the way, Brother Xuan, that guy Long Aotian has been clamoring about causing you trouble," mentioned Ye Lingyi, recalling his recent encounter with Long Aotian as he spoke to Ye Xuan.
