Chapter 25: Unable to Bear

"You little brat, you're quite arrogant, daring to make a move against the main family."

The imposing middle-aged man stared coldly at Ye Chen, his eyes brimming with faint killing intent.

Within the Ye family, his son had almost been killed.

It was simply unimaginable.

"And that trash beside you is even more arrogant, daring to make me a martial attendant," Ye Chen sneered disdainfully, not even bothering to look at Ye Long again.

This made Ye Long's expression ferocious, his face contorting in anger.

Outside the hall, everyone was shaken. The scene before them completely exceeded their expectations. They had thought that Ye Chen, arrogant and ignorant, would lie dead here. But they hadn't expected him to be so formidable, so terrifying.

They all understood that Ye Long had lost all face today. Ye Chen would definitely become his inner demon. He wouldn't be able to wash away the humiliation of today without killing him.

Would he let the family head, Ye Lingtian, take action for his blood feud?

"Hasn't your elders ever told you that being too arrogant isn't a good thing?" Ye Lingtian spoke, his gaze shifting to Ye Feng behind Ye Chen.

Since the moment Ye Lingtian appeared, Ye Feng's expression had become complex, revealing a hidden anger.

Back then, it was his elder brother, Ye Lingtian, who had decided to expel him from the main family and banish him to Tianyou City.

"Without the orders of the main family, the branches are not allowed to enter the Imperial City. Second Brother, have you forgotten the ancestral teachings of the Ye family? Do you want to betray the clan?" Ye Lingtian looked at Ye Feng, reprimanding coldly.

Ye Chen's brows furrowed slightly. At this moment, he seemed to understand.

It seemed that leaving the Imperial City back then was all thanks to this man.

"I wanted to settle things one by one, but since you've come out, let's settle some scores together."

Ye Chen looked at Ye Lingtian, his eyes cold. "I heard that we were expelled from the main family back then?"

Second Brother?

Expelled from the main family?

The words of Ye Lingtian and Ye Chen seemed to remind many people around them of something.

Tianyou City, the lineage of Ye Feng.

Ye Feng seemed to be the most dazzling genius of the Ye family back then, the strongest of the previous generation, and should have been the most suitable candidate to inherit the position of family head. But for some reason, he was suddenly expelled from the main family.

The position of family head then fell to Ye Lingtian.

"So what?" Ye Lingtian looked at Ye Chen. He acknowledged that Ye Chen had some talent, even stronger than his own son, but without entering the realm of True Martial, daring to be so presumptuous in the main family was definitely seeking death.

"So what? I just want to ask, what qualifications do you have to expel us from the main family?" Ye Chen asked coldly.

One word from Ye Chen made everyone outside the hall pale once again.

With the family head, Ye Lingtian, appearing, Ye Chen still dared to be so arrogant. Did he really expect the main family to be held accountable for the expulsion from back then?

His arrogance was simply ingrained, penetrating deep into his marrow and soul.

"Qualifications?" Ye Lingtian sneered. A mere Spiritual Martial Realm cultivator dared to talk about qualifications with him? It was truly laughable.

At that moment, countless figures approached.

Outside the hall, Ye Qian and Ye Dong hurriedly greeted them. "Father."

The arrivals were none other than Ye Qian and Ye Dong's father, the current third and fourth elders of the main family.

"Ye Feng, are you planning to betray the clan?"

Before the person arrived, the cold voice of the third elder sounded. Ye Feng was their second brother, yet the third elder didn't even use an honorific title. It was evident that Ye Feng's branch was not well-regarded within the entire Ye family.

The two elders, accompanied by their martial attendants, arrived at the grand hall, all of them in the True Martial Realm.

"Now, do you still think you have no qualifications?" Ye Lingtian looked at Ye Chen, his mocking expression tinged with killing intent.

"So, are you saying that you were all involved in our expulsion from the main family?" Ye Chen ignored Ye Lingtian's words and looked at the people entering the hall.

"Kid, your father knows best about the events back then. It's not your place to question. Right now, you and your people have intruded into the Imperial City and made a move against the main family, violating the rules of the Ye family. According to the law, this is considered treason and must be punished." The fourth elder spoke sternly.

"Treason?"

"To be punished?"

"You want to convict me?"

Ye Chen looked disdainfully at the upper echelons of the Ye family.

"Kneel down and confess your guilt. Don't make yourself look too ugly," Ye Lingtian said to Ye Chen, then glanced at Ye Feng.

It had to be admitted that Ye Chen was indeed extraordinary. Given time, he would definitely become someone significant. However, he was too arrogant, which was his most fatal weakness.

Of course, they were also relieved that Ye Chen had exposed himself to them so early.

If they had to wait for Ye Chen to grow, they weren't sure if they could suppress him.

"If you want to convict me, I'm afraid your Ye family can't bear the consequences," Ye Chen sneered.

Who dared to convict him, the Supreme Immortal Emperor?

His voice was light, but it was more arrogant than any words before.

The Ye family couldn't bear it?

Such arrogance! Not to mention Ye Lingtian, the head of the Ye family, who is also the Marshal of the Imperial Left Army, commanding millions of troops. The Ye family itself boasts numerous True Martial Realm cultivators, constituting a significant force within the empire.

Outside, the onlookers were stunned.

At this moment, they fully realized the extent of Ye Chen's arrogance.

Ye Long asked him to be a martial attendant, but he dared to demand that Ye Long serve him instead. Within the Ye family, he dared to ruthlessly attack Ye Long. Even when facing the head of the Ye family and numerous True Martial Realm cultivators, he showed no signs of fear. Instead, he proclaimed that the Ye family couldn't bear the consequences.

All the members of the Ye family acknowledged that they lacked the courage and audacity to act so recklessly.

"It's been a long time since I've seen someone so arrogant. Since you refuse to confess, we'll take action ourselves. Take him down," the third elder said in a deep voice, and several True Martial Realm cultivators immediately moved to attack Ye Chen.

"Be careful, Young Master Chen."

Wu Qingxue couldn't stand by anymore. True Martial Realm cultivators were not to be underestimated.

Taking a step forward, she drew her long sword, and her sword qi rippled like autumn water, shattering the power of the True Martial Realm cultivators and sending them flying.

"True Martial Realm!"

Ye Lingtian and the others widened their eyes. Behind Ye Chen, there were even True Martial Realm powerhouses, and it seemed that their cultivation levels were not low.

No wonder he dared to be so arrogant. It turned out he had something to rely on.

At this moment, everyone outside the hall fell silent.

Ye Zhen and Ye Dong were utterly shocked.

They never imagined that the situation would develop to such an extent. They thought Ye Chen's arrogance would lead to his demise, but instead, he crushed Ye Long, dared to confront the entire Ye family, and perhaps today's situation would exceed everyone's expectations.

"Is this your reliance?" Ye Lingtian looked at Ye Chen coldly.

Ye Chen replied coldly, "I'll return your words to you. Decide for yourselves. Don't make yourselves look too ugly."

Everyone trembled.

Ye Chen actually wanted the upper echelons of the Ye family to decide for themselves.

And it was happening within the Ye family.

In the past, no one would have believed such a thing.

If someone had dared to tell them that such a thing was happening, they would have spat in disbelief.

But now, it was unfolding right before their eyes, and the impact was too shocking.

"Chen'er." At this moment, Ye Feng finally spoke, breaking his silence for the first time since entering the Ye family.
