The Most Powerful Overlord

Chapter 179: The Qin Family’s Pact

Tianjing Ye Family.

"Ye Xiaoyao is just too terrifying, isn’t he? Even the Evil Buddha was killed?"

Ye Kuangfeng exclaimed.

"Ye Xiaoyao’s strength has once again surprised everyone; after all, the Evil Buddha is no match for him!"

Ye Fengtian replied.

Ye Longkun and the other elder members of the Ye Family took a deep breath and asked, "Then how powerful is Ye Xiaoyao?"

"I think with Ye Xiaoyao’s strength, he’s very close to the Five Dragons of Huaxia. Even if he’s not their equal, he’s not far off!"

Ye Zeyan said.

Ye Fengtian nodded, "That’s right! Although the Evil Buddha returned with significant achievements in cultivation, we’ve all been training over these ten years as well. Essentially, the gap from ten years ago is the gap now, but Ye Xiaoyao managed to kill him. This shows he’s not far from us!"

"Hiss!"

The sound of gasping continued.

Yet at such a young age, he almost possesses strength comparable to the Five Dragons of Huaxia. This talent is unprecedented!

"Alas! It’s a pity he’s not a son of the Ye Family!"

Old Master Ye Longkun sighed deeply, "If he were a son of the Ye Family, what would the four great families of Tianjing be but a joke? Even Wangyue Pavilion, or the truly reclusive martial arts sects, wouldn’t be the slightest bit fearful!"

"What a pity indeed..."

Everyone sighed as their eyes fell on Ye Zeyan.

Currently, among Huaxia’s prodigies, Ye Zeyan is the closest to Ye Xiaoyao.

"Alas, we’re now facing the scenario I least wanted to see!"

Ye Fengtian said with a frown and a sigh.

"Ye Xiaoyao has already become a significant threat!"

Ye Kuangfeng stated.

Ye Zeyan nodded, "That’s right. I heard Ye Xiaoyao killed the four top experts of the Wangyue Pavilion’s Law Enforcement Team, which already poses a serious threat to the safety of Huaxia Martial Arts Realm. If others don’t take action, it’s likely Wangyue Pavilion will!"

"Right, there are only two choices now. First, control Ye Xiaoyao. Either have him join the Celestial Dragon Team or enlist him under the Northern Army, which should be quite secure. Second, is to kill him!"

Ye Fengtian said, with his hands behind his back, offering two solutions.

Aside from this, the other three families of Tianjing’s four great families were all despondent.

"Ye Xiaoyao is just too terrifying, isn’t he? Even if Young Master Ren and others gained significant fortune from the Hidden Tower, at most, they would reach the Martial Emperor Realm! But Ye Xiaoyao even killed Evil Buddha!"

"Yes! That’s right! While all the prodigies strive for it, Ye Xiaoyao already can slay a Martial Emperor!"

"Unless Young Master Ren and others reach the level of the Five Dragons of Huaxia upon emerging!"

...

"Alas, why don’t we do this! After all, Ye Xiaoyao is not of the Ye Family, why not draw him in? I think with the golden brand of the four great families, he has no reason to refuse. If that doesn’t work, make Ye Xiaoyao a son-in-law!"

"Once Ye Xiaoyao becomes part of our family, our family’s fortunes will surely rise! Perhaps in the future, we’ll be Huaxia’s number one prestigious family!"

All the major families of Tianjing, harboring their own agendas, began plotting around Ye Xiaoyao.

...

In a certain place in the Northwest.

"Ye Xiaoyao has ultimately come to this point, I can’t bear it!"

Ling Zhantian sighed deeply.

Ling Tianlong thought about it and said, "Father, why not bring Ye Xiaoyao under your command and have him replace you in the Northern Army in the future?"

"Impossible! Although I don’t know Ye Xiaoyao, he is definitely proud and ambitious. Restraining him is simply impossible! From his act of killing the Wangyue Pavilion, one can see he’s unafraid of anyone."

Ling Zhantian stated.

"Then is killing him the only option?"

Ling Tianlong asked.

"For now, it seems to be the only way! The Eastern Demon is about to emerge soon, and it’s likely he’ll target Ye Xiaoyao. We don’t know the attitudes of West Poison and South Monk... Ye Fengtian has already approached me, suggesting we should not act rashly for now and wait for the actions of the three Eastern Demons!"

Ling Tianlong’s expression was complicated, "For Ye Xiaoyao to reach a point where he’s targeted by all the Five Dragons of Huaxia, I really admire him! But it’s a pity, his journey is nearing its end!"

...

In the Qin Family Villa, Qin Yunlei and Kang Meiyi sat across from Ye Qingtian.

"Qingtian, I heard you’ve been expelled from school?"

Qin Yunlei asked.

Ye Qingtian smiled, "Yes, I left the school. But it was my decision to leave; they were begging me to attend!"

"Hmph. Who do you think you are? The school begging you to attend?"

Kang Meiyi replied with dissatisfaction.

Qin Yunlei signaled Kang Meiyi to be quiet, and he seriously asked Ye Qingtian, "Qingtian, what happened with He Tianju? Can you elaborate on what occurred that day?"

"It’s simple, he drugged Lingyue and threatened me. So, I simply disabled him!"

Ye Qingtian spoke casually.

"Impossible! This has nothing to do with Lingyue!"

As soon as Ye Qingtian finished speaking, Kang Meiyi’s voice surged.

Kang Meiyi told Qin Yunlei, "See, he’s dragging Yueyue into his own mess!"

"This..."

Qin Yunlei was momentarily stunned, as he also didn’t want Qin Lingyue too involved.

"Qingtian, isn’t the situation more complicated? I heard there was already a conflict between you and He Tianju. You better explain everything clearly!"

Qin Yunlei cleared his throat and said.

"Yes, explain clearly! We don’t believe what you just said!"

Kang Meiyi added coldly.

"Since you don’t believe what I said, why ask me to explain?"

Ye Qingtian retorted.

"No... Qingtian, you might not realize the seriousness of this situation. He Tianju has an influential background; he’s the grandson of Second Young Master Long of the Tianjing Long Family. Second Young Master Long is furious and demands an explanation!"

Qin Yunlei explained.

"No! This involves me; he was defending me!"

Qin Lingyue’s voice interjected.

Unbeknownst to the others, Qin Lingyue had already entered the villa and was staring at the three of them.

"Lingyue, what are you talking about?"

Kang Meiyi pulled Qin Lingyue aside, glaring at her with cold eyes.

"Mom..."

"Don’t call me mom; I don’t have a daughter like you!"

Kang Meiyi’s anger was palpable.

Qin Yunlei walked silently to the side, telling Kang Meiyi, "Now father and the rest of the family are bringing the He Family people here to confront Qingtian directly!"

"What? The He Family and father are all here?"

Kang Meiyi was shocked.

"Yes, they are almost here!"

Qin Yunlei nodded.

Kang Meiyi’s gaze immediately fixed on Qin Lingyue, "Yueyue, the He Family people are here, backed by Second Young Master Long. Now, the fate of the Qin Family is in your hands. If you just declare that this matter has nothing to do with you, our Qin family will be safe. Otherwise, Second Young Master Long won’t spare us at all. You know Ye Kuangfeng is the Long Family’s son-in-law, and it’s difficult for him to intervene in this matter. Avoidance is our only way!"

During the conversation, Ye Qingtian received a text from Zheng Chengxin asking where he was.

Ye Qingtian replied: Qin Family Villa.

"The position of the Alliance Leader has been found!"
