Furthermore, Huyan Yong’s age was even younger than Wan Donghai and Ye Hang. To step into the Crystal Formation Realm at this age, his future was undoubtedly very bright.
The sect could not overlook this point.
As for the strife for imperial authority in the secular world, it was essentially a trifling matter to the sect. No matter who became emperor, their portion of taxes would not diminish.
“Halt!” Su Yulin forced back Ye Hang with a palm and shouted.
Huyan Yong’s unexpected appearance made this entire situation become delicate. Su Yulin could not be bothered to tussle with Ye Hang anymore.
Ye Hang was worried about Ye Yuan’s safety and naturally did not wish to tangle with him either. With a leap, he arrived in front of Ye Yuan.
Seeing Ye Yuan currently mediating to recover and his complexion gradually turning from pale white to rosy, a large rock in his heart was put down.
Su Yulin’s expression was not good. He fixed his eyes at Huyan Yong and said icily, “You said just now that you’re only here to protect your student, Ye Yuan?”
“That’s right!” Huyan Yong did not deny that.
“Does that mean that if we don’t make a move on Ye Yuan, you won’t intervene in today’s matters?” Su Yulin stared with Huyan Yong with burning eyes.
“That’s the case.” Huyan Yong said after thinking about it for a bit.
“Then fine. You can bring Ye Yuan away now! Ye Hang, if you don’t mingle with today’s affairs, you can also leave! In the future, you can continue to operate your Fragrant Medicine Pavilion in the capital. I absolutely won’t make things difficult for you!” Su Yulin said something which gave everyone a huge shock.
Wan Donghai’s face changed greatly when he heard that and he hurriedly said, “Brother Yulin . . .”
He was about to speak when Su Yulin stopped him.
“Brother Donghai! Now are extraordinary times, so we have to use extraordinary means! As long as we take down the Nanfeng Family, can he, Ye Hang, even fight off us teaming up?” Su Yulin transmitted.
Although Wan Donghai still had some misgivings after hearing it, he still gave in.
Ye Hang did not say anything, but Nanfeng Ruoqing and Nanfeng Lou could not stay still.
“Don’t fall for Su Yulin’s trick, Pavilion Lord Ye! This is a tactic to delay under pretext! If the Nanfeng Family falls from power, they definitely won’t let you go!” Nanfeng Ruoqing said urgently.
“Old Brother Ye Hang, we’ve had dealings for so many years already. Don’t fall for this kind of low-level fomenting!” Nanfeng Lou also said.
Su Yulin gave a cold laugh and said, “Is that so? How much effort has Old Brother Ye Hang put in for your Nanfeng Family? But what have you all repaid him with? What can you give him in return?”
“Pavilion Lord Ye, don’t listen to Su Yulin’s nonsense! He thinks that victory is in his hands, but does not know that Imperial Brother already made preparations. Imperial Brother has already gone to get reinforcements currently. Once reinforcements arrive, Su Yulin will definitely die without a burial place!” Nanfeng Ruoqing said.
“Hahaha! Eldest Princess, the reinforcements you’re talking about isn’t the Great Qin Dragon Guards, right?” Su Yulin laughed wildly.
Nanfeng Ruoqing’s face changed when she heard that!
The Great Qin Dragon Guards were top-secret! How did Su Yulin know?
“Is Eldest Princess very perplexed by how come I know about the Great Qin Dragon Guards? In order to deal with me, Nanfeng Yi secretly trained a division. This unit consists of 200 people, each of them possessing Spirit Condensation Realm cultivation! Truly a force so great that it makes others despair!” Su Yulin’s admiration was filled with ridicule.
Nanfeng Ruoqing’s heart immediately sunk like a rock.
A team formed by 200 Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists was enough to instantly kill Su Yulin!
But, this secret weapon was known by Su Yulin beforehand. Then what would be the outcome?
“You . . . How do you know so clearly?” Nanfeng Ruoqing asked with an ashen face.
“Hur hur, how hard is that? This team only has 200 people. Is it strange for there to be one or two of my people inside?” Su Yulin said, proud of himself.
Nanfeng Ruoqing’s face was the color of dirt as she asked, “You . . . you can’t have . . .”
“That’s right. The 200 Great Qin Dragon Guards are already the Great Qin Dead Guards now! Just yesterday, my Su Family’s deathsworn surrounded the Dragon Mountain tightly to do a shooting fish in a barrel! They used five Seven-Stringed Mighty Crossbows to block the Great Qin Dragon Guards. Do you think that they still have any chances of survival?” Su Yulin said.
When Nanfeng Lou and Nanfeng Ruoqing heard that, they sunk into hopelessness.
That was their final trump card. If even this final trump card was completely sunk, the Nanfeng Family was truly finished!
Moreover, they did not feel that Su Yulin was lying to deceive them. The Great Qin Dragon Guards were top-secret in the Imperial Family. Even Nanfeng Zhirou did not know about this.
The so-called trump card was a trump card because others did not know about them. But now, Su Yulin knew about it. How could he let the Great Qin Dragon Guards go?
“Things have already reached this extent, might as well let your despair be more thorough!” Su Yulin’s words were filled with satisfaction.
Nanfeng Lou and Nanfeng Ruoqing exchanged glances. Their faces were pale because they thought about what these words from Su Yulin meant!
Nanfeng Yi!
Since Su Yulin knew about the existence of the Great Qin Dragon Guards, how could he possibly not target Nanfeng Yi?
“Impossible! Imperial Brother is a Crystal Formation Realm powerhouse, and you’re also here. Who can you send to kill him?”
“Heh heh, that’s why I said to let you two despair more thoroughly! These few years, the Su Family had always been Second Brother and me managing things. Has it already been far, far too long since you guys heard news about my big brother?” Su Yulin said with a cold sneer.
Nanfeng Ruoqing did not have much of a reaction, but Nanfeng Lou trembled and asked in disbelief, “Su Yusen? How is that possible? He . . . Didn’t he die long ago?”
“That’s right, he did indeed die. However, he died for your Nanfeng Family to see! Before my big brother faked his death, he already broke through to Second Level Crystal Formation Realm! It’s just that nobody knew about it! Now that over a decade has passed, he already broke through to the Third Level Crystal Formation Realm. He went to kill Nanfeng Yi. Do you guys feel that he has any possibility of survival? Hahaha!” The more Su Yulin talked, he more pleased with himself he was, and he could not resist chortling.
When Nanfeng Ruoqing heard this kind of bad news, she staggered and nearly fell down, but was embraced by somebody.
“Careful, teacher, it still isn’t time to despair yet.” Ye Yuan gave Nanfeng Ruoqing a faint smile. He actually recovered already.
Finishing, Ye Yuan looked at Su Yulin with a smile and said, “Since Family Head Su talked until you’re so happy, I’ll also disclose a revelation. At the Endless Forest, Su Yishan was indeed killed by me personally! I wonder if having heard this news, does Family Head Su still wish to let me leave?”
Chapter 205
Su Yulin’s face suddenly changed. The pair of eyes looking at Ye Yuan seemed like they were about to spew fire.
Speculation was one thing, but Ye Yuan confessing with his own mouth was another.
Although all signs indicated that the possibility of Su Yishan returning alive was already very minute, as a father, he still hoped that his son could return safely.
Or perhaps the few of them really did not bump into Ye Yuan in the Endless Forest or were tangled with some demonic beasts?
But those fleeting words from Ye Yuan shattered that final trace of hope!
“No way? Turns out that the Su Family and Ye Family’s enmity has
already reached such a degree! Then didn’t Su Yulin’s soliciting earlier become a joke?”
“Yeah! No wonder such an important occasion today, but Su Yulin did not bring along his son. Turns out that he was already killed by Ye Yuan!”
“Sigh, this Ye Yuan is still young and rash in the end! The Nanfeng Family is already finished. Ye Yuan admitting that he killed Su Yishan at this time, Su Yulin will likely pursue this to the ends of hell! Even though the Ye Family temporarily took the upper-hand over here, when Su Yusen rushes over, all of them will probably still have to die!”
If it were earlier, everybody naturally would not say that. But the Su Family still had a Third Level Crystal Formation Realm Su Yusen!
Furthermore, Nanfeng Yi was clearly doomed. The Nanfeng Family can be considered to be thoroughly finished.
Ye Yuan coming out to provoke Su Yulin at this time was no different from seeking death,
“Good! Excellent! Ye Yuan, I really underestimated you! For today’s important matter, I was originally prepared to put aside Su Yishan’s vengeance first. Now, since you admitted to it, then let’s fight it out to the death today!”
Anyone could tell the thunderous rage in Su Yulin’s words.
“Haha, looks like this spice of mine is a little intense. Family Head Su is somewhat bewildered already! However . . . you aren’t naïve enough to think that my father and I will really leave this place, right? I think you’re a little mistaken, my father and I standing here today are not to protect the sovereignty of the Imperial Family, but because of the irreconcilable feud of my Ye Family with your Wan Family and Su Family!”
Ye Yuan’s words grew increasingly icier as he spoke and actually made everyone feel a chill without being cold.
Curiously enough, he was clearly just a Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm, but the words spoken by Ye Yuan made everyone feel pressure.
Ye Yuan’s words, no matter how one heard it, seemed to be somewhat treasonous and outrageous, with a subtle tone of slighting the Imperial Family.
But when everyone thought of Ye Yuan’s sect core disciple identity, they understood.
They originally thought that the Imperial Family and Ye Family were like ants on the same thread. Now, to them, the Ye Family were simply just fighting for themselves, and nothing to do with the Imperial Family.
“Preposterous! Your Ye Family members didn’t even lose a hair, but Su Yishan already died in your hands. And now, you’re talking big about some irreconcilable feud. Aren’t you afraid of other people’s ridicule?” Su Yulin said with a cold smile.
“I can stand here because I’m sufficiently powerful! Su Yishan dying in my hands is also him taking the road to ruin! Don’t tell me that you didn’t send people and Su Yishan together to kill me. It’s just that your son was useless and was killed by me instead! Also, Su Yubai, you ambushing me, a Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm with your half-step Crystal Formation Realm cultivation, has that old face of yours been eaten by dogs? Of course, this kind of things had no lack of your involvement, Wan Donghai, and your precious son, Wan Yuan. Back then, you set a trap for this Little Lord and nearly sent me to the netherworld! But you didn’t expect right that this Little Lord would profit from misfortune and have today instead! Hence . . . it’s time for us to settle this debt!” Ye Yuan detailed the crimes committed against him by the Wan and Su Families.
Wan Donghai’s face changed when he heard that. He only knew today that it was actually related to the poisoning previously that Ye Yuan could rise up so rapidly.
Although he did not know what transpired in between, without question, Ye Yuan obtained an extremely heaven-defying lucky chance!
In just a few short months, Ye Yuan actually grew to an extent where he could threaten Su Yubai already. Such a lucky encounter, just thinking about it made people jealous!
“No way, right? The Su Family and the Wan Family are too shameless. They actually used so many despicable and insidious means just to deal with a junior!”
“Heh heh, Pavilion Lord Ye’s character is without question. He would never do this sort of despicable and shameless things. But with Su Family and Wan Family’s style, these sort of things are of no concern at all.”
“I really did not expect that this Pill Grading Assembly would actually evolve to such a situation. Initially, I thought that it would be the contention between the Su Family and Nanfeng Family, but in the end, it became Ye Yuan’s battle for vengeance.”
Although Ye Yuan’s words were said casually, those present were all old veterans. They knew deeply just how much danger and scheming Ye Yuan experienced behind the scenes.
If these methods were targeted at Ye Hang, it was still fine. But to use them to deal with a junior, it was seriously too shameless.
“Humph! Even with your blandishments, you can forget about leaving here alive today! Counting the time, it’s about there! You all just wait to die!” Su Yulin said with a cold snort.
As the leader of the rebels, Su Yulin obviously not would acknowledge Ye Yuan’s words. However, he also knew that the more he tried to deny it, the worse it would seem. Therefore, he just lightly skated over it.
History had always been written by the victor. As long as he secured the throne, he could naturally whitewash everything, sweeping away today’s events under the rug!
However, Ye Yuan revealed a mocking smile on his face, making Su Yulin feel very displeased.
“Yeah, counting the time, it’s almost ready! It’s just I wonder who will the one arriving?” Ye Yuan said with a beam.
. . . . . .
Slightly earlier, on the path linking the capital and the Dragon Mountain, a group of people was currently rushing towards the Dragon Mountain with hasty footsteps.
In a center was a sedan chair with a yellow roof, carried by eight Essence Qi Realm martial artists.
“Your Majesty, Dragon Mountain is right ahead!” A general-looking martial artist said to the sedan.
“En, got it.” Nanfeng Yi inside the sedan said nonchalantly.
“Ah! What happened? This . . . This . . .” That general suddenly cried out and started stammering.
Pulling aside the sedan’s curtain, Nanfeng Yi walked out from the sedan, only to see the corpse-strewn land; these were Great Qin Dragon Guard corpses!
Nanfeng Yi knitted his brows, and his facial expression did not look too good. Those familiar with him knew that he must be in deep pain currently.
These Great Qin Dragon Guards were nurtured by Nanfeng Yi after expending immeasurable effort. But now, they were completely annihilated. How could this not make his heart ache?
“Who’s there? Protect his majesty!” the general bellowed.
An elderly man came from the front with both hands behind his back, looking very composed.
When Nanfeng Yi saw the arrival, his brows furrowed together again. He stretched his hand out to stop his subordinates” actions.
“You are not his match. Everyone, leave. Don’t cast away your lives,” Nanfeng Yi instructed.
“No way! Your subordinate will protect Your Majesty to the death!” The general refused to leave no matter what.
Nanfeng Yi grabbed hold of his collar with one hand and threw backward. That general flew out several hundred feet.
“All get lost for me!” Nanfeng Yi said angrily.
After his subordinates all left, Nanfeng Yi recovered his calm expression and said, “Didn’t expect it to be you!”
“Didn’t think that you’re still a kind ruler. I thought that you would use your subordinates’ lives to exchange for a chance to escape!” the old man said with a faint smile.
Chapter 206
“Why do I have to escape?” Nanfeng Yi asked calmly.
“Of course, it’s because I’m stronger than you! Haha, already at this time, are you still unwilling to let go of your emperor’s majesty?” the old man asked with a smile.
“Didn’t think that the three of you brothers have already been planning today’s revol
t over a decade ago. Su Yusen, you guys really plotted very well!”
This old man was shockingly Su Yulin’s big brother, Su Yusen, a Third Level Crystal Formation Realm powerhouse!
“Haha, Your Majesty flatters me. If I didn’t fake my death, how can Your Majesty let the Su Family develop in peace?” Su Yusen had a look like everything was within his control.
Nanfeng Yi nodded and said, “Speaking of it, ever since Su Yuting married into the Ouyang Family, it virtually ordained this situation today already. However, even if you all calculated everything, you probably couldn’t have calculated today’s variable, right?”
Nanfeng Yi still had a calm and composed appearance, but his words were filled with derision.
But Su Yusen did not mind. He smiled and said, “Isn’t Your Majesty too immature to want to use such words to scare this elderly self? Enough. Although I have lots of things I want to catch up with Your Majesty, I’m still quite uneasy about the situation over at the Pill Grading Assembly. Is Your Majesty going to end yourself, or are you going to make old me do it personally?”
Nanfeng Yi chuckled, laughing very happily.
“What are you laughing about?” Not knowing why, Su Yusen suddenly had a bad premonition.
“I’m laughing because we’ve lived to ripe old age and schemed for half our lives, but in the end, we’re both not the main casts in this battle for imperial authority. However, what I’m more fortunate than you guys in . . . is that I got acquainted with Ye Hang,” Nanfeng Yi said with a grin.
“Ye Hang? You’re talking about that chess piece you’ve been using to suppress the Su Family, the owner of the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion? You mean to say that he’s the protagonist for this fight for imperial authority? What a joke!” Su Yusen wondered if Nanfeng Yi went insane.
“You’re wrong! Ye Hang has never been my chess piece. It’s just that I happened to save both him and his wife back then. He only remained in the State of Qin’s capital to repay that favor. I just never expected that my unintentional action back then would actually become the linchpin to saving the Nanfeng Family today!” Talking about past events, Nanfeng Yi also sighed.
