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!"
...
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 entirely 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.
Leng Qiuling shook her head and said, "I'm also not sure, but that old drunkard's strength, Father, you, should have heard of it, right? He actually stood up for a young man who didn't even reach the Divine Lord Realm. Isn't this suspicious? Furthermore, the mysteries on Ye Yuan's body are too many, numerous until it makes people unable to see through. Such a person, we at least can't provoke him!"
The more Leng Hongxiu listened, the more frightened he got. To be able to make his daughter have such a high appraisal, this young man was clearly not ordinary.
In truth, how could a genius capable of comprehending spatial shift be ordinary?
The more he thought, the more lingering Leng Hongxiu felt. If Ye Yuan really came from a Heavenly Emperor, or even a Dao Ancestor faction, then the consequences of touching him would be too severe!
"This … Why didn't you say earlier?! Father nearly made a huge blunder!" Leng Hongxiu said.
Leng Qiuling said, "I wasn't aware of it beforehand too. In truth, I completely didn't expect that in a short few centuries' time, Ye Yuan's strength could actually reach such a level! You have to know, back then when I met him on the Heavenspan Mountain, he didn't even reach Divine Lord Realm!"
Back then, when Leng Qiuling encountered Ye Yuan, Ye Yuan was only at the boundary of grand completion Origin Deity.
With Leng Qiuling's cultivation speed, ordinary people would only get pulled further and further apart from her.
But Ye Yuan actually narrowed the gap until it was just a tiny bit within a short few hundred years.
Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity versus Second Firmament Celestial Deity, it might be insurmountable to ordinary people for life.
But placed on Ye Yuan, it was clearly not very applicable.
One had to know, Ye Yuan kicked the Fourth Firmament Celestial Deity Leng Hao flying with one foot on the stage!
Chapter 1853 - Seeking Battle
"Really didn't expect that Younger Sister Qiuling actually spoke up for us at the last minute. Just now, I was really frightened badly. It doesn't matter to me, but if I implicated you, I can't forgive myself in this lifetime."
Returning to the courtyard, Leng Xu felt lingering fear.
Previously, on the stage, saying that it was hanging on by a thread was also not over the top.
Even though Ye Yuan had spatial shift, facing a True God powerhouse, it was also impossible to easily escape.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "They won't do anything to me."
Seeing Ye Yuan's indifferent look, Leng Xu said huffily, "You're really reckless! Uncle he's a True God powerhouse! But speaking of things, it's also strange. My relationship with Young Sister Qiuling isn't considered close. Why would she refute her own father's face in front of so many people?"
Just as they were talkin
g, a servant came to report, saying that Leng Qiuling came. This made Leng Xu stupefied again.
Leng Qiuling came leisurely, like a moving iceberg, emitting a proud and cold aura from head to toe.
Not seeing for several hundred years, Leng Qiuling's transformation was very big.
It was not just the increase in strength, her disposition also underwent a drastic change.
Leng Qiuling back then was still just a junior.
But now, she already faintly had the bearing of someone in the upper echelons.
This was portrayed most vividly during the battle for young patriarch.
A casual sentence, but no one dared to refute it.
When Leng Xu saw Leng Qiuling, he went up to greet, saying: "Many thanks to Younger Sister Qiuling for helping us out of our predicament today. Otherwise, Ye Yuan and I would be in danger."
Although he did not know why Leng Qiuling would come forward and speak up for him, thanks still had to be said.
It was merely a sentence to Leng Qiuling, but to him, it was a life-saving grace.
Faced with Leng Xu's thanks, Leng Qiuling just said nonchalantly, "Big Brother Xu doesn't need to be courteous. I was just saying a word of fairness."
But her gaze went past Leng Xu and looked at the Ye Yuan behind him.
Leng Xu detected Leng Qiuling's gaze and could not help being taken aback, turning his head and looking toward Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan smiled lightly and opened his mouth and said, "Parting for years, Fairy Leng's elegant appearance is even more radiant than back then!"
Leng Qiuling smiled faintly and said, "A scholar who has been away three days must be looked at with new eyes. Young Master Ye really broadened my horizons today! I want to apologize to Young Master Ye and take back the words I said back then."
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "It's all past matters, mention it for what? Today, this Ye still have to thank Fairy Leng for resolving my predicament!"
Leng Qiuling shook her head and said, "I believe that there is no need for me to get you out of the fix. Young Master Ye also has a way to get out of trouble."
Although she did not know Ye Yuan's means, if Father wanted to keep Ye Yuan behind, it likely would not be that easy.
