The Most Powerful Overlord

Chapter 264: Longevity Family

"Old Witch, guess who I am?"

Ye Qingtian had a cold smile on his lips.

"How dare you! You dare to desecrate the Taiyin God!"

Seven or eight samurai drew their swords and attacked, their blades flashing, and chilly air raging.

"Get lost!"

Ye Qingtian slapped out, and immediately, seven or eight people were sent flying backward.

"How dare you!"

All the samurai and Yin-Yang Masters present glared angrily at Ye Qingtian.

"Who are you, exactly?"

The woman coldly asked, her voice sounding like the wails of ghosts and wolves, making one’s scalp tingle.

Ye Qingtian’s mouth curled into a cold smile: "Weren’t you asking who killed that kid?"

"Was it you who did it?"

The woman demanded angrily.

"Yes, that’s right."

Ye Qingtian chuckled.

"He is indeed the son of Ye Kuangfeng. I failed to kill him back then, and now he’s back!"

Hattori Chihane let out a roar.

The woman’s body trembled: "What? It’s you? You’re still alive?"

"What’s more terrifying is that he’s grown to a heaven-defying extent. I’m completely not his match!"

Hattori Chihane reminded.

"Old Witch, I’m here today to settle scores with you! You orchestrated everything back then, didn’t you?"

Ye Qingtian said coldly.

"Hahahaha..."

The woman suddenly let out a series of terrifying laughs, sharp like they were tearing through eardrums.

"It’s all that fool Ye Kuangfeng’s fault! I tried to take him to the wonderful Paradise, but he refused me, marrying a mundane woman instead and even fathering a child. I swore to destroy him, to destroy the entire Ye Family.

I killed his wife, then made him drive away his own son with his own hands, to let others kill him.

In the end, I made him marry a woman who was already pregnant, and had the child raised with all the Ye Family’s resources. Waited until that child ascended to the top of Huaxia’s stage, then I exposed this scandal, letting everyone know—Ye Kuangfeng was raising someone else’s child all along, and he personally caused the death of his wife and child!"

The woman slowly walked towards Ye Qingtian: "Do you know, when I set foot on Huaxia’s soil and found the Ye Family trapped in an array, how delighted I was? It was like divine aid to me. Everything was perfect, even Ye Kuangfeng still doesn’t know."

"What a pity, your plan went awry with me!"

Ye Qingtian laughed.

"Yes, you actually came back alive and ruined my plan! Today, I must kill you!"

The woman’s voice was filled with anger.

"Do you really think you’re worthy?"

Ye Qingtian sneered, a trace of disdain in his eyes.

Hattori Chihane and the others almost laughed out loud, the power of the Taiyin Shrine could rival the Six Great Martial Arts Families of Japan.

The Taiyin God was omnipotent, with divine methods akin to the legendary Ghost God.

And Ye Qingtian dared to speak such words?

The woman let out a mocking laugh, disdainful of Ye Qingtian.

"Boom..."

The next second, it was like a cannonball had struck, and the Taiyin Shrine collapsed with a roar, everything inside shattering in succession.

In an instant, dust rose to the sky before their eyes.

An overpowering and immense pressure swept over, pressing everyone to the ground.

Hattori Chihane felt a sense of death’s threat, his body quivered, his eyes full of incredulity.

"Half-Step Martial Emperor?"

Hattori Chihane’s eyes nearly popped out.

"Uh ah..."

As for the woman, she let out a scream, her body suspended in midair, unable to move an inch.

The mist on her body gradually dissipated, revealing a stunning face.

Yet her appearance rapidly aged, wrinkles covering her face, making her look at least seventy or eighty years old.

The woman seemed to want to struggle, but Ye Qingtian sneered: "Save it, with your little cultivation, you dare to mess around in front of me!"

"This..."

Hattori Chihane was even more shocked, Ye Qingtian was more powerful than he imagined.

"In fact, you are not a match for Long Wuya, it’s just that you hold something he desires, and he fell for your trap, right?"

Ye Qingtian chuckled.

Then, he glanced at everyone: "Actually, the Ghost God you worship is just like you, an ordinary person. An over-hundred-year-old monster, using Secret Techniques to steal your fortune and survive!"

"What?"

The people of the various families suddenly understood, even though they depended on the Ghost God, their families were becoming more and more decayed, only able to huddle in such a ghostly place.

Her purported omnipotence was merely a facade.

"Although you are an ordinary person, you are very special. Long Wuya mentioned that you were born of fortune-stealing. I suppose it’s related to that Paradise you spoke of taking Ye Kuangfeng to?"

Ye Qingtian’s smile deepened.

"Yes! That’s right."

"But I’m curious, why did you choose him?"

Ye Qingtian asked curiously.

"Have you ever heard of the Kawano Clan?"

The woman suddenly mentioned.

Ye Qingtian frowned: "The Kawano Clan I’ve really never heard of!"

The woman wore a proud look: "Compared to the Kawano Clan, the Six Great Martial Arts Families of Japan are nothing, even the legendary Takamagahara is nothing!"

"Almost no one knows about the Kawano Clan, a pure land completely different from this world. Most importantly, the Kawano Clan is the legendary Longevity Family!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingtian almost burst into laughter: "Longevity Family? Are you kidding me?"

Even the world’s top cultivators can’t live that long, and a small clan in Japan dares to call itself the Longevity Family?

This is simply a joke!

"Humph, my Kawano Clan has stood tall for a millennium, existing since the Edo Era. How could it be something you mortals could comprehend!"

Kawano Keiko sneered coldly.

Ye Qingtian showed an expression of sudden realization: "The so-called Longevity Family is merely using Evil Techniques to take from others’ fortune to survive. It’s utterly ridiculous! Usually, there must be backlash from such Evil Techniques. Let me guess, the backlash falls on the women of the Kawano Clan!"

After Ye Qingtian finished speaking, Kawano Keiko was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out.

"You... who exactly are you?"

Kawano Keiko trembled and spoke.

Ye Qingtian ignored her and continued: "You tried everything to take Ye Kuangfeng to the Kawano Clan, it must be that he can relieve the backlash on you."

Kawano Keiko shuddered all over: "Yes, you are right. The Kawano Clan’s thousand-year longevity defies the heavens, naturally bringing a backlash. The Kawano Clan has always been patriarchal. The backlash naturally falls on the females. Any female born in the Kawano Clan, after reaching adulthood, will suffer a curse, becoming ordinary. There’s only one solution, to find a partner and return to the Kawano Clan, but the partner’s fate and all aspects must perfectly match. Many of the Kawano Clan’s women spend their whole lives unable to go back."

"So Ye Kuangfeng is that person you found?"

Ye Qingtian laughed.
