The moment Han Dongjun heard, he grinned and said, “Alright, I can wait! Brat, killing my Xiao-er, you’ll know how severe the consequences are!”
Toward Leng Hongxiu’s attitude, Ye Yuan was not too surprised. He just shrugged and said, “Just the likes of you can’t make me stay!”
Han Dongjun seemed to have heard some hilarious joke and snickered as he said, “Shameless boasting fool, a measly Second Firmament Celestial Deity also wants to escape from this Han’s hands! If I let you escape, I, this Han, absolutely won’t show face in Thousand Soar Imperial Capital in the future!”
Han Dongjun was a half-step True God existence, his status in the Han Family rather high.
No matter how formidable Ye Yuan, this Second Firmament Celestial Deity, was, it was also impossible to escape from his hands.
Ye Yuan looked at him and said smilingly, “You have to remember what you said today. At that time, don’t go back on your word.”
He comprehended spatial shift. One thought, and he would be hundreds of thousands of miles away.
Even a True God powerhouse also had to expend a lot of effort to catch up to him, let alone a mere half-step True God.
By the side, Leng Hao was incomparably conflicted in his heart.
He really wanted to go up and kill those two with a palm. But this way, him silencing people to prevent divulgence of his secrets would be equivalent to being confirmed.
But not killing, once Leng Hongxiu searched the souls, wouldn’t he know everything.
Right then, Leng Hongxiu spoke!
“Since you say that Hao-er entrapped Xu-er, then I’ll carry out a soul-search on these two! If it’s not like what you said, don’t blame my Leng Family for not being courteous!” Leng Hongxiu looked at Ye Yuan and said coolly.
Ye Yuan did not speak, but in his heart, a hint of foreboding premonition arose.
It seemed like he somewhat underestimated the feelings between Leng Hongxiu and Leng Hao!
Right at this time, the divine soul power of a True God Realm released, rushing into those two people’s sea of consciousness domineeringly.
“Puhwark!”
The two people virtually spewed out a blood arrow at the same time, then fell to the ground, already ceased breathing.
Ye Yuan’s face changed. Was this … doing away with the witnesses?
Leng Hao’s expression was incomparably nervous. His entire body was practically going to tremble already.
Would Leng Hongxiu announce his crimes?
Leng Hongxiu’s closed eyes slowly opened, looked at Ye Yuan, and said indifferently, “Talking nonsense, ruining my Leng Family’s reputation! Come, men! Take this boy down for me!”
Chapter 1851. Confounding Black and White |
Leng Hao’s heart was practically jumping out of his throat.
Happiness came so suddenly!
No, wait, should say that his many years of hard work had not been in vain!
Foster Father he still kept his thoughtfulness in mind!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Several figures dashed straight onto the stage, surrounding Ye Yuan in the middle.
But Leng Xu’s face changed and he said furiously, “Uncle, no matter how displeasing to the eye you find me, you also can’t confound black and white, right? This matter has nothing to do with Ye Yuan. You let him go, I’ll shoulder all of the charges!”
The current Leng Xu was really disappointed to the max with the Leng Family.
He had never wanted to fight for anything before. But the vortex of the mundane world insisted on dragging him in, stirring him up until he was reduced to pieces.
This feeling made him somewhat mentally and physically exhausted.
Because of Ye Yuan, he was able to stand on the stage dignified and openly today, defeat Leng Hao, and win back his own heart.
Because of Ye Yuan, he could walk out of decadence and find that former self.
Now, if Ye Yuan was dragged down because of this matter, he could not forgive himself no matter what.
However, Leng Hongxiu’s face fell and he said, “Insolence! Your meaning is that I lied in front of so many people? You keep saying that Leng Hao is like this, like that, this is all your one-sided words! Then how do I know how many things you’ve done to let down the Leng Family? Back down!”
Leng Xu’s complexion was like dead ash, but he refused to take a single step back. Blocking in front of Ye Yuan, he said stubbornly, “I’m not backing down!”
Leng Hongxiu’s face turned dark and he said, “I announce that starting from today, Leng Xu’s position of young patriarch is abolished! Leng Hao is the Leng Family’s new young patriarch! All attack for me, take both of these two down for me!”
The moment Leng hao heard this, his face revealed a hint of wild elation.
So many years of long-cherished wish, he finally got his wish!
Furthermore, looking at the situation today, Leng Xu would find it hard to escape death.
Heh, a man knows when to yield and when not to. Just an outsider, is it worth it to die for him?
In his heart, he was very disapproving of Leng Xu’s way of doing things.
But it was also precisely because of this that it gave him an opportunity to exploit.
At this time, Han Dongjun laughed loudly and said, “Hahaha, Leng Hongxiu, don’t need to trouble you to take action against this little animal. I’ll directly capture him and be done with it!”.
Leng Hongxiu nodded his head lightly and did not say anything.
Now that it came to this, whoever capture Ye Yuan was the same.
In the black-clothed man’s sea of consciousness, he naturally saw many things.
Many of them even harmed the Leng Family’s interests.
But there was one thing, a very large part of the things was done for him and Leng Qiuling.
With this, it was sufficient!
What he searched was not Leng Hao’s soul. He could only deduce Leng Hao’s goal through these things.
Although it was wrong for Leng Hao to have done these things in order to become the young patriarch, it was also not unforgivable.
The most important thing was that Leng Hongxiu inherently felt empathetic for Leng Hao.
He was also suppressed by his big brother back then until he could not lift his head. All the way until he gave birth to an excellent daughter that it eased up somewhat.
So he knew how difficult it was for Leng Hao to obtain his status today with his identity.
Han Dongjun laughed loudly and looked at Ye Yuan with a smug look as he said, “Brat, you got no temper now, right? Your mouth is formidable, but sadly, your strength is too weak! In front of me, Han Dongjun, you’re just an ant! Ants, can’t possibly escape my control!”
Finished talking, Han Dongjun’s world power released, and arrived with a howl!
The violent world power crunched over towards Ye Yuan, confining all of the space around him.
Ye Yuan could only get captured without resistance!
Bang!
A loud noise came over, Han Dongjun’s entire person pounced onto the ring.
However, Ye Yuan’s figure was already gone.
“This … What’s going on here? Where’s Ye Yuan?”
Everyone looked at this scene with astounded faces. They did not even blink their eyes, but Ye Yuan disappeared without any traces just like this.
Rather, Leng Hongxiu’s expression changed. That calm and collected expression finally had a trace of change.
“Are you looking for me?” Up above in the sky, Ye Yuan stood in the air as he said coolly.
Han Dongjun’s face changed and he exclaimed, “S-Spatial shift! How is this possible?”
“Spatial shift? Fourth Firmament spatial law? My God!”
“No wonder this kid is so arrogant, he actually comprehended spatial law!”
“Unless it’s a True God powerhouse, otherwise, nobody can keep him behind at all!”
…
&nbs
p; The crowd immediately burst into an uproar.
Their strength was too weak and could not see clearly how Ye Yuan escaped Han Dongjun’s certain-kill blow just now.
The Fourth Firmament spatial law, this kind of law comprehension was virtually a god-like existence to them.
Although people who comprehended spatial law were few, they were also not zero.
In a place like the imperial capital, there would still occasionally have that one or two appear.
But, being able to cultivate spatial law to the fourth firmament, spatial shift this step, there were absolutely none!
Ye Yuan having this magical ability, within Celestial Deity Realm, no one could make him stay at all.
Han Dongjun’s spatial confinement seemed powerful. But in front of Ye Yuan, it was simply child’s play.
It was too easy for him to want to escape Han Dongjun’s confinement.
“You said just now, I’m an ant, and that it’s impossible to escape your control. Then … what say you now? You can’t even catch an ant and also dare to speak wildly here?” Ye Yuan looked at Han Dongjun, a mocking look on his face.
The expression on Han Dongjun’s face was extremely ugly. He boasted too big just now, how could he have known that Ye Yuan still had such a contingency plan?
Now, it was really losing face until his granny’s house.
Seeing the Leng Family people’s amused smiles, he had an aggrieved look.
Ye Yuan could display spatial shift. No matter how many people he brought, it was also impossible to keep Ye Yuan behind.
Now, going back to request for reinforcements, Ye Yuan would have long escaped to God knows where.
Therefore, he could only cast a pleading look towards Leng Hongxiu.
“Leng Family Head, my son’s death, Leng Xu can’t escape responsibility either! I hope that the Leng Family gives me an account!” Han Dongjun was still assuming an arrogant air.
When the old patriarch died, the Leng Family’s strength fell greatly.
The present Han Family’s strength was even a bit stronger than the Leng Family. He did not need to give the Leng Family this face!
Leng Hongxiu’s face fell and he said, “Insolence! Who the hell do you think you are, to also dare speak to me like this?”
“Puhwark!”
Under Leng Hongxiu’s powerful pressure, Han Dongjun directly spewed out a mouthful of blood.
“Leng Hongxiu, you!”
Leng Hongxiu’s expression was dark and he said in a cold voice, “A tiger not demonstrating his power, you really take me to be a sick cat? Even if my Leng Family is far from before, it’s also not what a random nobody like you can provoke! Now, immediately scram for me! I’ll detain the person. If you want the person, have Han Tianyu come find me personally!”
Once a True God was enraged, how mighty was that!
Han Dongjun’s face was ashen. His expression changed several times, and he finally roared, “Leave!”
After he left, Leng Hongxiu looked at Ye Yuan and said coolly, “Young man, let yourself be seized without any resistance. If I take action, the aftermath will be hard to say!”
Ye Yuan did not speak yet, but then he heard Leng Qiuling behind him heaved a sigh. She said, “Lord Father, this matter, let’s stop here!”
Chapter 1852. Almost Made a Huge Blunder |
Everyone was stunned on the spot!
The Leng Family’s peerless genius, Thousand Soar Mansion’s disciple, Leng Qiuling, actually sung a different tune with her own father?
This reversal was also too dramatic.
“Qiuling, what did you say?” Leng Hongxiu was also taken aback and asked.
He knew that this daughter was the most filial and would never go against his will.
What was going on today?
Leng Qiuling said calmly, “The right and wrong, everyone has a scale in their hearts. Big Brother Leng Hao’s actions and conduct indeed isn’t worthy of the title of young patriarch. Father, I suggest better to let Big Brother Leng Xu continue to be the young patriarch.”
Another death-like silence!
No one would have expected that Leng Qiuling actually said such words in front of everyone.
Even Leng Xu also had an astounded face.
Leng Qiuling entered Thousand Soar Mansion very early and had very little interaction with him. Their relationship was also not considered close.
Why did she suddenly speak up for him?
Rather, it was Leng Hao. When he heard Leng Qiuling’s words, it was akin to a bolt out of the blue.
Even in his dreams, he never dared to believe that Leng Qiuling would actually say such things at this time!
In his view, the one least likely to oppose him were Leng Hongxiu father and daughter.
But Leng Qiuling actually gave him a fatal blow at this time!
Even though Leng Qiuling was the same as him, just a junior of the Leng Family, her status was completely different.
She was not just the Leng Family’s proud daughter of heaven. She was also the entire Thousand Soar Imperial Capital’s proud daughter of heaven.
Leng Qiuling normally would not care about the Leng Family’s affairs at all. Her horizons had long already transcended the Leng Family’s level.
But today, she actually spoke up!
Leng Qiuling’s words were absolutely heavyweight-class. It was even more useful than all of the elders’ words put together!
Leng Hongxiu’s brows knitted together. Recalling his daughter’s reaction previously, he immediately understood in his heart.
This Ye Yuan was likely that Ye Yuan!
Except, could it be that this kid called Ye Yuan really had a powerful background?
Otherwise, why would his daughter refute his face in front of so many people?
“Since Ling-er already said so, then …” Leng Hongxiu finally still heeded his daughter’s words and planned to announce the final result.
Leng Hao’s face was akin to dead ash. His many years of hard work were actually no match for Leng Qiuling’s one sentence!
He hated it!
“Hang on!” But at this moment, Leng Xu suddenly interrupted his words.
Leng Hongxiu’s brows furrowed, but he heard Leng Xu say solemnly: “Big Brother Leng Hao, I’ve told you before, this position of young patriarch, I don’t care about it! What I value more is familial relationship and friendship! It’s just a shame that the big brother that was akin to a father and brother in my eyes back in the old days already slowly drifted further apart. I didn’t come today to fight with you over this position of young patriarch too. I just want to tell everyone that I, Leng Xu, have never thought about continuing to be this young patriarch either. From this day forth, I, Leng Xu, resign from the position of the Leng Family’s young patriarch!”
This sudden turn of events made everyone stunned.
When everyone all thought that the outcome of this struggle for young patriarch was already a foregone conclusion because of a sentence from Leng Qiuling, Leng Xu himself actually came forward and wanted to resign from the position of young patriarch.
Ye Yuan looked at this scene and secretly smiled as he nodded.
He understood that those able to do it like Leng Xu were not many.
One had to know, being a young patriarch meant more cultivation resources and advantages. This point, no one was clearly than Leng Xu about it.
But, he put it down straight away, without dragging anything out.
Actually, in Ye Yuan’s view, although cultivation resources were important, the path was carved out by oneself. However much the cultivation resources, it was also not as important as walking one’s path.
One’s own might was true might!
Except, very few people could understand this.
Leng Qiuling’s eyes also glinted, clearly very surprised by Leng Xu’s action.
Her horizons had transcended the scope of the Leng Family long ago.
The reason why she said so was entir
ely looking on account of Ye Yuan’s face.
She did not expect that Leng Xu did not care about this position of young patriarch at all.
Suddenly, Leng Qiuling felt that it was rather funny. It was really birds of a feather flock together.
If it were Ye Yuan, he would also do so, right?
Even though she did not have much contact with Ye Yuan, she could tell that Ye Yuan was similarly stubborn and unruly, someone unrestrained and carefree.
No secular concept could constrain such a person.
After falling silent for a moment, Leng Hongxiu nodded and said, “Forget it, all disperse. The position of young patriarch will be discussed another day!”
With the family head giving a verbal instruction, everyone dispersed, leaving behind only Leng Hao alone, his gaze glassy.
Leng Xu’s final words sent his entire person into a daze.
It turned out that an extremely simple thing was made complicated by him.
It turned out that this position of young patriarch could be won with extreme ease. But now, it turned into nothing.
It turned out that Leng Xu really did not care about the position of young patriarch!
It turned out that all of his efforts were just a superfluous joke!
…
“Does Father want to ask why I stopped you from dealing with Ye Yuan?” Leng Qiuling saw through her father’s unhappiness and took the initiative to start the conversation.
Leng Hongxiu was at any rate the head of a family. With his daughter embarrassing him in front of everyone, his face had nowhere to put!
But toward Leng Qiuling, Leng Hongxiu was clearly very tolerating. He had a black face as he said, “This Ye Yuan is that Ye Yuan you know?”
Leng Qiuling nodded her head.
“Just what origin does this boy have? You just had to come forward at this time!”
Leng Qiuling briefly recounted what she saw and heard back then on the Heavenspan Mountain, making the expression on Leng Hongxiu’s face gradually change.
“Your meaning is that … this boy might be a genius under a Heavenly Emperor’s command?” Leng Hongxiu said in surprise.
