The Most Powerful Overlord

Chapter 184: Unbearable Consequences

Lei Dong actually made a move!

And the one who got hit was He Junwei?

With a single strike from the Martial King, He Junwei was beaten half to death and fell to the ground without a sound...

"What’s going on? The He Family was attacked?"

Everyone was puzzled, holding their breath, not daring to exhale even slightly.

As for Qin Lingyue and Kang Meiyi, they looked at each other, a thought simultaneously flashing across their minds: "Young Master Ye? The only one with the Ye surname here is..."

Their gaze slowly turned towards Ye Qingtian, their hearts suddenly racing, thumping as if ready to jump out at any moment.

Gradually, other members of the Ye Family also noticed something was amiss and looked over.

Just then, the big shots in the venue all cupped their hands and said in unison, "Congratulations to Young Master Ye (Alliance Leader) for defeating Evil Buddha and ascending to the second position on the Huaxia Dragon List!"

Dozens of people spoke in unison, their momentum overwhelming, shocking the entire scene.

"Young Master Ye? Alliance Leader?"

"Defeated Evil Buddha? Second on the Dragon List?"

As these keywords emerged, the Qin Family members were instantly dumbfounded.

"Wait... doesn’t this mean it’s Ye Xiaoyao they’re talking about?"

Qin Lingling was the first to react.

The Qin Family members glanced over at once, seeing all the big shots focused on Ye Qingtian.

Doesn’t this mean that Ye Qingtian is actually Ye Xiaoyao?

"I really didn’t expect you could even kill Evil Buddha? Just how powerful are you?"

Tang Yanwan’s beautiful eyes sparkled as she curiously asked Ye Qingtian.

"Hmph, beyond your imagination!"

Ye Qingtian snorted coldly.

Although it was just a short exchange, it revealed the most crucial information: Ye Qingtian is indeed Ye Xiaoyao.

"You’re Ye Xiaoyao?"

Qin Yunkai asked involuntarily.

Ye Qingtian’s lips curled into a smile, "Given the current situation, who do you think it could be besides me?"

"Ah?"

"Boom!"

Hearing Ye Qingtian’s affirmative answer, the entire Qin Family was struck as if hit by a bolt from the blue, left in utter shock.

Each and every person was dumbfounded, like sculptures.

"He... he is Ye Xiaoyao? The Ye Xiaoyao who reigns supreme in the Northwest?"

Qin Yunkai and Qin Yunbo felt as if they had been pushed hard, nearly collapsing to the ground.

Both of them gulped down a few mouthfuls of saliva, their scalps tingling, filled with disbelief.

"How... is this possible?"

"Are we dreaming?"

"I don’t believe this is true! Can someone tell me it’s all an illusion?"

The younger generation of the Qin Family were pale, lips azure.

In their eyes, someone who couldn’t make it had to marry into their family, hoping to transform from a common man into a noble. Yet now, he turned out to be a figure like Ye Xiaoyao, whose reputation equals that of an entire Great Family, and stands among the top martial artists in Huaxia.

The massive gap between reality and fantasy was something no one could accept.

Qin Lingxue was dumbfounded.

Qin Lingfeng was dumbfounded.

Qin Lingling was dumbfounded.

...

People their age, without relying on family influence, achieving a status so dominant in the Northwest? They’re just not from the same world. Even the genius Qin Lingtian, as they admired, couldn’t catch up in a lifetime.

Everything seemed so unreal, like living a constant dream.

After hearing this information, Qin Jianguo and Ning Yuejiao’s bodies swayed violently, their heads buzzing, vision blurry, even darkening slightly.

Upon hearing the news, not only did they feel psychologically overwhelmed, but physically too.

"What... what did you say? You’re Ye... Ye Xiaoyao? Could you... say it again?"

Qin Jianguo’s hand that held the cane trembled violently, his legs shaking, speaking with shock and fear.

His face changed dramatically, as if he had fallen seriously ill, void of any color.

Ning Yuejiao was the same, feeling a huge stone pressing down on her chest, her heart swelling with blood about to burst, her breath rapid, nearly suffocating.

"How impudent! You, a lowly ant, dare to call Young Master Ye by name?"

Zheng Chengxin coldly reprimanded, sounding like rolling thunder.

In the colossal presence of the Xiaoyao Alliance, the Qin Family was truly vulnerable, as insignificant as ants.

Fan Yuesheng cracked a smile and commented, "Old Qin, among the Four Great Families in Jin City, only your Qin Family didn’t know Young Master Ye’s identity. The Zhai Family knew, but they were wiped out!"

"Heh heh..."

The major powers in Jin City all watched the Qin Family members with mocking eyes.

At this moment, they looked like fools to them—no, stupider than fools.

"Pfft!"

Hearing the most definite answer, Qin Jianguo’s gaze quickly dimmed, and the next moment, Qin Jianguo spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Father..."

If not supported by someone, Qin Jianguo would’ve collapsed on the spot.

"Thud!"

Hearing this reply, Ning Yuejiao’s eyes went black and she fainted immediately.

The Qin Family Villa was in utter chaos...

Qin Jianguo and Ning Yuejiao never anticipated that the calm, silent young man from before wasn’t seeking attention to win theirs.

He simply existed above all, indifferent, disdainful of squabbling with small-minded people.

What made Qin Jianguo and Ning Yuejiao even more infuriated was their previous remarks about Ye Qingtian being only fit to be a son-in-law.

But now, the thought of Ye Qingtian as a son-in-law for the Qin Family—could the Qin Family bear such status?

Ridiculous, he’s a character as prestigious as a Divine Dragon in the sky—how could the little Qin Family handle such status?

Shame!

Endless shame!

Everyone in the Qin Family felt a deep sense of shame!

Regret!

Unparalleled regret!

Regretful of their blindness.

Once, their countenance had been so ugly, their vision narrow, their actions foolish!

"Actually, we should’ve realized it earlier—how could Ye Kuangfeng’s son fall short?"

"Right, he’s Ye Kuangfeng’s son; even without any resources from a destroyed childhood, creating his own achievements is easy!"

Qin Yunkai and Qin Yunbo were filled with regret; had they been remotely observant, the Qin Family would undoubtedly have soared.

Xiaoyao Alliance’s leading family should’ve been the Qin Family; even the super families would fear them not.

Once the closest to Ye Qingtian, now they had drifted the furthest apart.

Today, they aren’t even equal to the likes of Sha Polang’s trio!

They can’t fathom what the Qin Family will become after today.

They should be directly dragged down from the altar.

The air in the villa seemed sucked dry, every person with flushed faces, breathing rapidly, insanity, and suffocation looming over them.

"He... he... he is Ye Xiaoyao..."

The greatest shock struck Qin Yunlei, Kang Meiyi, and Qin Lingyue.

Hearing this answer, Qin Yunlei and Kang Meiyi felt as if a massive hammer smashed into their heads.

The inside of their brains seemed to rupture, a mass of water swirling.

Their consciousness felt stripped away, their minds blank.

"He clearly said he was Ye Xiaoyao, but we didn’t believe him!"

Qin Yunlei smacked himself across the face.
