Chapter 2945: Chapter 2919: Who Is the Schemer (Fourth Update)

...

Not far away, the remaining members of the Ye family all wore looks of shock on their faces.

The so-called genius was so vulnerable to a single blow.

Seeing Ye Tanzhu trying to leave this Little World, Ye Chen naturally wouldn’t let him go. Such a person, if left alone, would always be a calamity.

He didn’t chase after him, but instead condensed a strand of sword qi with his divine soul, locking onto Ye Tanzhu’s aura and pursuing him.

"If you survive this sword, I will spare your life!"

After releasing the sword qi imbued with Destruction Divine Dao, Ye Chen stood in place, coldly watching the result of the chase. No matter how fast Ye Tanzhu was, could he be faster than a sword qi not restricted by the Earth’s laws here?

He had no choice but to stop and fight back. Otherwise, this pursuit lock on his aura would quickly catch up to him and pierce through his skull.

Panic-stricken and fleeing for his life, Ye Tanzhu naturally understood the situation. He immediately stopped temporarily, turned around, and exerted all his effort to operate his cultivation method to resist the sword.

At the same time, Ye Niang and Ye Sheng finally reacted and also took action.

Although the three major factions of the Ye family competed with each other, they couldn’t just watch Ye Tanzhu get killed.

"Young Master Ye, have mercy!"

Ye Niang shouted softly, joining hands with Ye Sheng to try to block the attack.

"Swoosh!"

Unfortunately, this Slaughter Sword Intent not only contained the Destruction Divine Dao but also the effects of the spatial laws and time and space laws, making it too fast.

In that instant, time and space seemed to stagnate, leaving only a sliver of cold light cutting through the vacuum, passing through Ye Tanzhu’s Divine Body, trailing behind Ye Chen’s fingers. No matter how Ye Tanzhu resisted, it was of no use.

Thump!

His body, filled with eyes of terror, completely exploded. The red and white matter didn’t even have the chance to splatter before being shredded by the killing intent and Destruction Divine Dao released from the sword qi.

As for Ye Tanzhu’s divine soul, there’s no need to mention it; it had no chance to escape.

An outstanding talent thus fell.

The remaining corpse, under the erosion of the Destruction Divine Dao, quickly deteriorated beyond recognition.

"Ye Chen!!"

Seeing this, Ye Sheng was furious. He turned his head and glared at Ye Chen.

This person was too arrogant, killing Ye Tanzhu right in front of him and Ye Niang without considering their presence. What is this?

Did he really think he could lord over the entire Ye family by now?

Ye Niang stepped forward, extending a hand to release a seven-colored glow, intending to wrap Ye Tanzhu’s corpse. After all, they were a family, and Ye Tanzhu was a personal disciple of the Ye Family Ancestor. If they couldn’t even bring back the body, how could they explain it?

But as the glow barely touched Ye Tanzhu’s tattered body, it collapsed with a bang, turning into a mess of flesh and bones, rapidly annihilated, completely ’purified’ by the Destruction Divine Dao, leaving nothing behind but a spreading stench.

Ye Niang knotted her eyebrows, a trace of anger flashing in her eyes, though she quickly hid it, speaking with slight dissatisfaction: "Young Master Ye, how will you explain yourself to the elders by mercilessly attacking a fellow clan member?"

"Explain? Was I the one who attacked first? Who ignored the family rules first? To explain, it’s not my turn." Ye Chen stood with his hands behind his back, not even bothering to finish his sentence.

As the Samsara Master, even if he destroyed the entire Ye family, why would he need to explain to them?

The vast Ye family had declined generation after generation, barely surviving on the solid foundation built by the ancestors who once followed the Samsara Master to conquer the world.

Just when there was hope for a resurgence, these so-called outstanding disciples of the Ye family first wanted to attack him. Thinking only of themselves, what was the use of keeping such people?

Facing Ye Niang and the other Ye family disciples, after killing Ye Tanzhu, Ye Chen felt no guilt and didn’t even want to show them a pleasant face.

Ye Chen’s arrogance made Ye Sheng, who had once been publicly humiliated to the point of coughing blood, completely sullen: "Ye Chen, do you really think the Ye family is without people? Killing recklessly within the Ye Family Ancestral Land, do you intend to become enemies with the entire Ye family?"

"Am I reckless?"

Ye Chen laughed in anger: "I just wanted to stop you from interfering with Ye Lingtian’s reception of the Heavenly Stone’s inheritance, and yet Ye Tanzhu had murderous intent towards me!"

"We merely wanted to temporarily stop Ye Lingtian from receiving such a Heavenly Dao blessing, not to deprive him of the merits of this ancestral ritual; it could well be arranged back at the family by the elders before receiving such a blessing and inheritance."

Ye Sheng appeared genuinely righteous, seemingly considering everything from the family’s perspective, devoid of any personal motives.

He loudly accused: "Even though Ye Tanzhu had murderous intent towards you, he didn’t kill you, nor did he even hurt you. Don’t you understand the notion of forgiving someone when possible? We all witnessed the previous scene—it was clearly your arrogance and bloodthirst!"

"Yes, Senior Ye Tanzhu didn’t deserve to die."

"After all, we are of the same family, so why be so relentless?"

Several disciples from the same branch as Ye Tanzhu echoed, knowing that the ancestors would surely punish them when they returned for losing their most outstanding member.

"When he wanted to attack me, wanted to attack Ye Lingtian, why didn’t you stop him, and instead joined in with him?" Ye Chen sneered, "Since you are so righteous, what Ye Lingtian is receiving is the reward he deserves. Why do you obstruct him? Don’t tell me that’s arrogance too."

"Arguing is pointless; righteousness is in people’s hearts." Ye Sheng’s face was cold, eyes filled with clear hostility, "No matter what, you killed Ye Tanzhu. That is a fact witnessed by all!"

"Oh."

Ye Chen chuckled, shrugging his shoulders indifferently.

Seeing him so flippantly mocking, Ye Sheng and the other Ye family disciples were somewhat annoyed, but when they opened their mouths, they found they didn’t know how to answer this remark.

Upon reflection, wasn’t it them who had actively come to question him?

After killing, Ye Chen hadn’t even intended to defend himself, nor did he deny killing Ye Tanzhu.

For a moment, everyone fell into silence, leaving only the slight sounds from the Reincarnation Star Stone where Ye Lingtian was receiving the Heavenly Dao’s blessing.

"Sigh..."

With a soft sigh, Ye Niang walked out, her Golden Feathered Robe fluttering gracefully. Her jade feet were white and delicate, and her beautiful face was filled with helplessness.

"Everyone, let’s stop arguing. The dead are already gone. Let’s think about getting the Heavenly Stone back to the family as soon as possible."

After speaking, Ye Niang walked directly to Ye Chen, ignoring the surprised looks of the other Ye family disciples. She slightly leaned toward Ye Chen, speaking with both grievance and a hint of pleading in her tone:

"Young Master Ye, for the sake of your sister, let’s take a step back. After all, the family should come first. I apologize to you on their behalf, and we can wait peacefully for Brother Ye Lingtian to complete the blessing, but you must help us escort the Heavenly Stone back to the Ye family, okay?"
