Ah Hu pulled back the corners of his lips, “The two wouldn’t have teamed up, right?”
Yan Zhaoge said, “They shouldn’t have teamed up-the Sacred Sun Clan should still not be to the extent of doing something like that with completely no bottom line at all. However, they may very well be eyeing us greedily, waiting to get both us and them in one fell swoop.”
“Following the matter of the Wind Domain, I found out some things. In this current world, not mentioning their level of understanding towards the Nine Underworlds, the Sacred Sun Clan should be the one possessing the greatest understanding of the Decimating Abyss as an organisation.”
Yan Zhaoge shook his head, “Both sides have respectively been pulling over remnants of Black Nightmare Mountain to their sides, but it may be that this has formlessly also formed a channel that allows the two to understand each other.”
Ah Hu scratched the back of his head, “…both attempting to use the other, killing with a borrowed knife?”
Yan Zhaoge said, “It’s just my guess, with no substantive proof.”
The foundation of the Central Heaven Region Yans was established at Yunzhen County, at the southwest of the Central Heaven Region. It was also a distance away from Broad Creed Mountain.
Even with Pan-Pan, it was also quite a while before Yan Zhaoge arrived.
Entering the territory of Yunzhen County, there was already someone waiting for him there. It was a middle-aged man, with the cultivation of a mid Spirit Vessel Martial Grandmaster. His name was Yan He.
Seeing Yan He, Yan Zhaoge ignored formalities, cutting to the chase, “Uncle He, what is it?”
“Not long ago, at a family banquet, Fourth Uncle suddenly took out a letter, claiming that it was written by Eldest Uncle before his death,” Yan He also ignored formalities, speaking whilst guiding Yan Zhaoge forward, “The contents of the letter…were that Brother Di is not Eldest Uncle’s trueborn son, instead having been adopted when he was young, his true origins unclear.”
Yan Zhaoge’s expression did not change as he listened calmly.
The Eldest Uncle whom Yan He spoke of was Yan Di’s father and Yan Zhaoge’s grandfather, having perished during their journey over from the Zhao Region to the Heaven Domain.
At that time, Yan Di was still young, and Yan Zhaoge had yet to exist in this world.
Afterwards, Yan Zhaoge’s great-grandfather, Yan Di’s grandfather, had led their entire family in taking up root in the Heaven Domain, with Yan Di eventually becoming a disciple of Broad Creed Mountain, rising up step by step, also causing the position of the Central Heaven Region Yans to rise.
After the previous Head, Yan Di’s grandfather, died, his position had not been passed down to his sons, instead having been directly succeeded by his grandson Yan Di.
Currently, Yan Di’s Third Uncle, Fourth Uncle and Seventh Uncle were all still of this world.
Usually, with Yan Di in Broad Creed Mountain, the daily matters of the Central Heaven Region Yans were discussed and handled by these few Elders.
Yan He sighed, “I don’t know what Fourth Uncle was thinking, in blowing the matter up till everyone knew of it, even persisting that this matter must be investigated thoroughly. Unable to suppress him, Third Uncle and Seventh Uncle could only inform Brother Di.”
Of the few Elders of the Family, Yan Zhaoge’s Third Granduncle and Fourth Granduncle were both Essence Spirit Martial Grandmasters, while his Seventh Uncle was in the mid Spirit Vessel stage.
“Father is currently temporarily assuming the position of Chief, busy with many matters and unable to come,” Yan Zhaoge said succinctly, “Therefore, I came back this time to see what exactly was up.”
While Yan Zhaoge’s age and seniority were low, he was the trueborn son of Yan Di, at the same time also possessing great fame in the Eight Extremities World, with a position in Broad Creed Mountain that was not low.
Even the Elders of the Family were unable to lightly suppress him on grounds of seniority.
Yan He said, “It is also good that you could return. At least quell the matter first; don’t let it continue to grow.”
Arriving at the ancestral mansion, not yet having entered, they could already feel a tense atmosphere of drawn swords and strung bows.
Raising his head, Yan Zhaoge saw winds and clouds surging in the air above, a terrifying force sweeping the area. It was clearly from a confrontation between two Essence Spirit Martial Grandmasters.
Entering the mansion, after passing through the numerous courtyards, they indeed saw two old men currently at a standstill, their expressions both stern as they remained silent.
Behind them were their various supporters, currently in the midst of a heated argument.
“Could it be that all of you have gone mad? Jumping out at this time to hold the Head back-what exactly are your intentions?”
Someone on Yan Di’s side glared angrily at the other side’s people.
The other side rebutted righteously, “Not being legitimate at all, Yan Di did not come by his position properly.”
“When our entire Family moved to the Heaven Domain that year, his parents both died, with him surviving an orphan, and no one able to know what exactly happened at that time. Now, words from the pen of his father written to the old Head have revealed the truth of the matter-Yan Di is not a true descendant of my Yan Family!”
“His parents dying that year-who knows if it was his own handiwork, in order to conceal his identity as he conspires against our Family?”
Those on Yan Di’s side were angered to the point of laughing, “Able to be where he is today, the Head has relied on his own superior talent. In choosing him as successor, the old Head was also looking at his ability.”
“After entering Broad Creed Mountain that year, in soaring straight up into the clouds, the Head didn’t borrow much of our Family’s power. On the contrary, as his position gradually increased, it was our Family that benefited as a result.”
“All of you bear resentment within your hearts, probably because you blame the Head for his strict rules, not allowing you to flaunt a non-existent authority based upon his achievements!”
Hearing this, the other party gave a cold snort, “First not speaking of whether Yan Di was wrong, the truth of his parents’ deaths has to been investigated clearly. His origins also have to be properly determined; someone of unclear origins becoming the head of a Family-really, what a joke.”
“It is the same for his son Yan Zhaoge; his mother’s identity is not clear, who knows where she came from…”
Before he had finished, a figure flickered, appearing before him.
It was precisely Yan Zhaoge.
Yan Zhaoge smiled carelessly, “The identity of the person urging you on-I am also very interested in it.”
That person stabilised his mind, “Yan Zhaoge, you’ve come at just the right time. The Family’s Elders have questions for you…”
“Bang!”
The next moment, the person was sent flying backwards.
Yan Zhaoge flexed his leg, “Other than answering my question, you have no right to be saying anything else.”

HSSB270: I am the Family’s laws!
When Yan Zhaoge appeared, the two opposing Elders had already discovered his arrival, just that they were held up by each other, and did not have the time to deal with him.
When Yan Zhaoge sent that person flying with a single kick, the Elder on the right finally could stand it no longer, “Yan Zhaoge!”
“What your position is at Broad Creed Mountain is another matter. Daring to behave so audaciously in the ancestral mansion-do you truly think that you cannot be held accountable by the Family’s laws?”
Yan Zhaoge looked calmly at this old man, “Yan Wendao, at this critical moment for Broad Creed Mountain and my father, what attitude do you feel I should have towards you people who stir up trouble, possessing unwholesome thoughts?”
<
br /> Hearing Yan Zhaoge directly addressing him by his name, his Fourth Granduncle, Yan Wendao, was enraged, “This little brat!”
As an Essence Spirit Martial Grandmaster, his rage truly had the dominance of mountains collapsing.
As his roiling true essence circulated, numerous streaks of light seemed to transform into a scaly dragon, coiling by his side.
Striding out, he was already before Yan Zhaoge, striking out with a palm.
By the side, a similar force surged, as the Third Granduncle whom he had been standing off against earlier, Yan Wenzhen, came before Yan Zhaoge and raised up a palm, which was also accompanied by a scaly dragon.
The two longtime Elders and Essence Spirit Martial Grandmasters of the Yan Family clashed head-on!
While caring for this ancestral mansion, the two did not dare to completely release their power, with their clash seeming completely ordinary and without waves, everyone here seemed to feel a strong light rise before their eyes, the world before their eyes completely turning white.
A deafening roar resounded beside their ears, with other sounds all no longer audible.
Some Yan Family martial practitioners with lower cultivation bases directly and uncontrollably collapsed.
Yan Wendao glared furiously at Yan Wenzhen, “Just from him as a junior daring to speak to this old man like this, this old man wants to invoke the Family’s laws today; even Yan Di can have no reason to shelter him!”
Yan Wenzhen’s expression was calm, “Old Fourth. I am also very interested in who the people standing behind you are.”
“The Sacred Sun Clan? Broad Creed Mountain’s Elder Fang? The Zhao Region Yans and the Heavenly Thunder Hall? Or perhaps…the Decimating Abyss?”
The two exchanged blows once more, their foreheads each lighting up with a spirit pattern.
The spirit patterns floated up into the air, instantly expanding, as the entire Yan Family ancestral mansion also shook alongside them.
Countless patterns of white light, resembling numerous scaly dragons, roared as they soared into the air.
A massive spirit formation that enveloped the entire Yan Family ancestral mansion instantly took form.
It was just that the circulation of the formation was clearly unstable, seeming as though it could split into two at any moment.
Yan Wendao and Yan Wenzhen both glared at each other.
As longtime Elders of the Yan Family at the level of Essence Spirit Martial Grandmasters, the two usually held control over the Yan Family Grand Formation together. Currently, with the battle just happening to be between the two of them, the formation could also not be properly used, instead becoming the focal point of the two’s conflict.
Seeing that he was temporarily unable to do anything to Yan Wenzhen, Yan Wendao’s figure suddenly flashed, continuing to lunge towards Yan Zhaoge!
His strength was comparable to Yan Wenzhen’s. One wanting to kill, the other wanting to protect, the former would inevitably hold the initiative as well as the advantage.
“Little brat, you need to pay for your arrogance!” Yan Wendao roared coldly.
Looking silently at Yan Wendao, Yan Zhaoge suddenly laughed, “Yan Wendao, you seemed to have gotten something wrong.”
Saying thus, he gently tapped his forehead, where a shining spirit pattern also appeared!
“At this place and this moment in time, at least, speaking of the Family’s laws, I am them.”
Accompanied by the spirit pattern on Yan Zhaoge’s forehead lighting up, the grand formation guarding the ancestral mansion instantly shook.
The next moment, the flickering spirit patterns on Yan Wendao’s and Yan Wenzhen’s foreheads shockingly dissipated.
Yan Wenzhen was fine with it, but Yen Wendao’s heart immediately sunk.
The Head of the Yan Family, Yan Di, was the true controller of the Yan Family Grand Formation!
With Yan Di’s help, Yan Zhaoge now clearly also held control over the formation.
And this young man’s attainment in formations far surpassed them old fellas, far surpassed them Essence Spirit Martial Grandmasters!
Yan Zhaoge laughed lightly, pushing his hands forward, palms facing downwards, fingers spread out, before he abruptly pressed downwards.
The ancestral mansion instantly reacted, the courtyard in which they were located instantly being filled with white light, numerous dragons of light soaring, all lunging towards Yan Wendao!
Helpless, Yan Wendao could only resist.
However, letting out a long howl, the Yan Wenzhen behind him, palms outstretched, was already speeding over in attack.
Faced with the combined forces of the grand formation and Yan Wenzhen, Yan Wendao was instantly unable to cope with the situation, finding it hard to hold on.
To his shock, he discovered something. Under Yan Zhaoge’s control, the Yan Family Grand Formation actually unleashed its peak power, actually not inferior to when it was being controlled by them Essence Spirit Martial Grandmasters at all.
The grand formation was even more powerful than him, Yan Wendao. Without Yan Wenzhen’s help, he was hard pressed to withstand it, at most only able to struggle and hold on for a bit longer.
Yan Zhaoge said mildly, “Setting up a trap to lure me in, the troops lying in ambush should also be appearing now? Otherwise, the bait is going to be used up.”
Before his words had landed, a few dark shadows had already rushed out from amongst the crowd, lunging towards Yan Zhaoge together.
“So it is the Decimating Abyss,” Yan Zhaoge’s expression didn’t change as he extended his hands, palms facing each other as they abruptly clapped together.
Accompanied by this clap of Yan Zhaoge’s, the power of the Yan Family Grand Formation surged madly, the numerous light dragons combining, forming a massive dragon head, surveying its surroundings.
The dragon head suddenly opened its mouth, letting out a shocking roar, causing the assaulting martial practitioners to all stop in their tracks, their figures drifting, as though about to collapse of drunkenness.
Waving his hand, a short stone rod flew out of Yan Zhaoge’s hands, transforming into the massive pillar of the Divine Palace, suppressing his enemies.
Beside him, Ah Hu was grinning savagely as he rushed out, killing enemies left and right like a tiger amidst a herd of lambs.
As someone attacked from behind him, the Immortal Crane Wings on Yan Zhaoge suddenly expanded, feathers shooting out in all directions like a tempestuous storm.
The people who had been suppressed by the Yan Family Grand Formation were all of Yan Wendao’s side, with the others, like Yan Zhaoge’s Seventh Granduncle and Yan He, all not affected.
While looking at Yan Zhaoge currently quelling the internal rebellion like the sweeping of autumn leaves, some Yan Family martial practitioners felt a little conflicted within their hearts, they were also stimulated by Yan Zhaoge’s clear vision of the enemy and thunderbolt-like methods, as they all simultaneously began their assault.
Other powers were all fine, but those of the Decimating Abyss were the enemy of all. Towards those of their Family, they prioritised their capture, but towards those Decimating Abyss martial practitioners attempting to attack Yan Zhaoge, they showed no mercy at all.
At Yan Zhaoge’s hands, a chaotic situation seemed soon to be resolved.
However, the hearts of everyone here could not relax at all. After all, this was an internal dispute of the Family, not being any glorious at all.
After killing an opponent, Yan He retreated to Yan Zhaoge’s side, asking him in a low tone, “Those Decimating Abyss martial practitioners who infiltrated aside, what about Fourth Uncle and the others?”
“Just capture them first,” Yan Zhaoge swivelled his head to look in the direction of Yan Wendao.
Just having looked over, Yan Zhaoge suddenly felt a chill envelop him!
Through the corner of his eyes, he saw Yan He currently smiling coldly at him, a strange box opening within his hands from which a cold qi e
manated.
Swept by the cold qi, Yan Zhaoge’s right eye felt a piercing pain, flickering with the purple light of thunder yet seemingly having temporarily grown numb, falling silent for a moment.
“Yan Zhaoge, if you want to speak of the Family’s laws, you also lack the qualifications,” Yan He smiled coldly, stabbing viciously towards Yan Zhaoge with the sword in his hands.
Ah Hu was a bit further away, unable to make it in time. Swept by the cold qi, Yan Zhaoge couldn’t even activate the Golden Talismanic Body, seemingly about to die at Yan He’s sword.
He, however, smiled slightly, “At this time and at this place, and with all those who are currently here, I am the Family’s laws.”
Saying thus, Yan Zhaoge flipped his palm, smashing mightily towards Yan He’s head!
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 271: You’re still sorely lacking
HSSB271: You’re still sorely lacking
Yan Zhaoge raised his palm high above his head, then flipped it around, slamming downwards.
Great in scale, his movements were clumsy while heavy, not looking swift at all, instead seeming a little slow.
However, a strange, terrified feeling arose in the heart of Yan He before him, as though however he evaded or resisted, he would also not be able to escape from this palm of Yan Zhaoge’s, his brain being blown to smithereens.
That feeling was as though all of heaven and earth lay within Yan Zhaoge’s palm.
Accompanied by the flipping of Yan Zhaoge’s palm, heaven and earth reversed, the heavens plummeting downwards from up above, with no way to escape, no way to resist, one only able to silently accept their impending death.
As this palm descended, from Yan He’s perspective, Yan Zhaoge’s entire person seemed much taller than he had previously been, resembling a descended divinity.
The majestic, mighty force enveloped Yan He’s entire body, the heavy, dense aura-qi directly locking down the entire area about him, the very space around him seemingly collapsing with him as the centre.
