The Most Powerful Overlord

Chapter 216: Entering the Ye Family

"Who are you? Why do you appear in the ancestral land of the Ye Family?"

The white-haired elder reprimanded.

"Get out!"

Ye Qingtian spit out another word.

"Who exactly are you? What? Could it be that you have broken the array that trapped my Ye Family?"

The white-haired elder thought of something and couldn’t help but exclaim.

"Get out!"

Ye Qingtian gave a final warning, striking out with a palm.

"Bang!"

A violent palm force, like a Divine Sword tearing through the sky, slashed out.

"This..."

The white-haired elder felt the destructive power, his expression changed drastically.

He wanted to resist, but it was already impossible.

"Ugh!"

The white-haired elder seemed to be hit by the force of a car accident, directly flying out, blood splattering.

"Today, I don’t want to start a killing spree in front of my mother!"

Ye Qingtian said to himself.

The elderly man was lucky; Ye Qingtian did not kill him.

...

The white-haired elder returned to the bamboo forest, his pupils dilated, his face full of shock.

The old man’s identity was very mysterious; he could be said to be the most enigmatic figure in the Ye Family.

The elder was named Ye Rulin, the younger brother of Huaxia founding general Ye Rulong. His cultivation was unfathomable; it was unknown to what realm he had reached.

He was Ye Fengtian’s father, having a son late in life. To protect the Ye Family, he specifically allowed Ye Fengtian to be in the same generation as Ye Qingtian.

He was also Ye Zeyan’s master, contributing immensely to Ye Zeyan becoming Huaxia’s youngest Martial King.

Ye Rulin was the true Guardian God of the Ye Family.

He had long known about the grand array troubling the Ye Family and had done much about it.

Originally, he was childless for life, but to strengthen the Ye Family, he had Ye Fengtian.

He also handed the treasured Spiritual Artifact Life Wheel to Ye Zeyan, all for the Ye Family...

But what happened today was too horrifying; first, the grand array that troubled the Ye Family for hundreds of years was unexpectedly broken, and second, the mysterious person appearing in the Ye Family’s ancestral land defeated him in one move.

"Is this person helping the Ye Family or confronting it?"

Ye Rulin wondered endlessly.

Yet now, Ye Rulin was gravely injured; the obliterating strike nearly took his life.

Now he needs to retreat and heal.

...

"Mother, I intend to stay in the Ye Family temporarily to observe mourning for you for seven days!"

Ye Qingtian decided to stay temporarily in the Ye Family to observe mourning for his mother.

"Stop! You there, stop! Is the Ye Family a place where just anyone can enter?"

At the Ye Family entrance, Ye Qingtian was blocked.

"Move aside!"

Sharp rays shot from Ye Qingtian’s eyes.

"Hey, what’s up with you people? You’re even planning to attack the Ye Family? Ha, do you even know where this is?"

The Ye Family guards sneered.

This is the foremost of Huaxia’s four major families!

"Slap!"

Ye Qingtian slapped, hitting the guard in the face, instantly causing lacerations.

"Take him down!"

All the Ye Family guards rushed towards Ye Qingtian.

"What’s going on? Huh? It’s actually Brother Qingtian?"

Ye Zeyan, who had come for inspection, saw the scene and was shocked.

"Brother Qingtian?"

All the guards were stunned, staring incredulously.

"What are you doing? This is Ye Qingtian, my elder brother!"

Ye Zeyan explained.

"Young Master Ye Qingtian?"

Only after a long time did they react.

Ye Qingtian showed a faint smile: "Arrange a room for my mother!"

"Ah?" Ye Zeyan was first startled, then nodded: "Alright! Brother Qingtian, wait!"

Ye Qingtian followed Ye Zeyan into the Ye Family.

For the seven days of mourning for his mother, he temporarily didn’t want to make things difficult for the Ye Family, nor did he want to see blood.

The news of Ye Qingtian, who was once expelled from the Ye Family, returning quickly spread throughout the Ye Family.

The small villa he saw had not changed; it just hadn’t been cleaned or maintained much, now overgrown with weeds.

A sense of things remaining while people change...

The small villa was where Ye Qingtian’s mother once lived; now the Ye Family residences had all been replaced with villas, but fortunately, the small villa had not been torn down.

Ye Qingtian chose to live in the small villa to observe mourning for his mother for seven days.

"What? Is that scoundrel Ye Qingtian back?"

Upon hearing this news, Ye Longkun and Ye Kuangfeng were nearly shocked out of their wits.

The Ye Family members exchanged complex looks.

Ye Longkun finally spoke: "Well, back he is. Long Wuya once said the effect of his Abandoned Celestial Destiny was diminishing bit by bit. I suppose it hardly impacts him now. Him returning to the Ye Family is no harm. Though he’s of no use, the Ye Family can afford to raise a wastrel."

An elder of the Ye Family asked: "But he didn’t come to pay respects to us upon entering the Ye Family doors?"

"Where is he? Call him over here!"

Ye Kuangfeng shouted.

Ye Zeyan looked awkward, whispered: "Brother Qingtian is in the small villa; he seems to be observing mourning. He said no one should disturb him!"

"Scoundrel! When did the Ye Family get to where he can call the shots?"

Ye Kuangfeng was furious: "I’m going to see for myself what he’s doing!"

Outside the small villa, many people gathered, especially the younger generation of the Ye Family.

"Why do you think Ye Qingtian suddenly returned?"

The girl who spoke was seductive and charming; she was named Ye Zimei, the daughter of Ye Kuangyun, the second brother of Ye Kuangfeng.

"Isn’t it obvious? From now on, he can hold the title of the Ye Family’s eldest young master."

The young man who spoke had his hands behind his back, looking mature.

He was Ye Mingtian, the son of Ye Kuanglei, the third brother of Ye Kuangfeng.

Though young, over ten years old, he was widely recognized as the strategist in his circle.

Ye Mingtian laughed: "One must admit he played this card well; the Ye Family made it clear he wasn’t welcome back, but he snuck back in quietly, forcing the elders and uncles to relent and let him stay!"

"Yes, exactly. Using his mother’s mourning as a pretext, isn’t it just to stay in the Ye Family?"

"That’s right. I heard a while ago that uncle planned to bring him back from Jin City but was rejected. Yet now he’s returned?"

"Truly laughable!"

The young members of the Ye Family sneered.

"Oh, you guys say less. No matter what, Brother Qingtian is a member of the Ye Family, too, bearing its bloodline!"

The girl speaking was fourteen or fifteen, with a fine appearance, promising beauty potential. Her legs were straight and slender, her body perfectly developed.

Her hair was in twin ponytails, with big flashing eyes that could melt one’s heart.

The girl is Ye Ziwu, daughter of Ye Kuanglei. As the little princess of the Ye Family, she was deeply loved by Ye Longkun.

"Everyone move aside!"

A loud shout was heard from afar, as Ye Kuangfeng and Ye Zeyan arrived.

"Uncle!"

All the Ye Family juniors were intimidated and quickly stepped aside, bowing their heads in fear looking at Ye Kuangfeng.

Ye Kuangfeng was known for being strict in the Ye Family, and all the juniors were scared of him.

Ye Kuangfeng disregarded them and directly entered the small villa.

"Everyone disperse! There’s nothing worth watching! Quick, disperse!"

Ye Zeyan said coldly.

Ye Zeyan’s words carried weight, and the crowd gradually dispersed.
