Chapter 61: Ye Qingcang

Outside the academy, a figure swiftly approached, like a breaking lightning, arriving at the battle platform in an instant, releasing pressure that subdued Ye Chen.

"Ye Qingcang, the newly appointed head of the Ye family!"

"The old head of the family has appeared."

Seeing this figure, the crowd was in an uproar, while the members of the Ye family showed expressions of joy.

The old head of the family, nearly at the peak of True Martial Ninth Stage, was the strongest person in the Ye family.

With his appearance, he would surely stabilize the situation.

On the platform, Ye Feng trembled all over, with intense vigor erupting from his eyes, his whole being in an unprecedented state of agitation.

Father, he was his most respected father.

But sixteen years ago, he heartlessly cast him aside, and he really wanted to ask, why?

His battle with Ye Lingtian was simply to prove that he was stronger than Ye Lingtian, to ask if Ye Qingcang regretted his decision back then.

"Grandfather." Ye Shuixian's gaze was somewhat complex.

Grandfather, was he going to make a move against Dust Junior?

"This old guy finally shows up." Liu Qianlang chuckled lightly and sat down again.

Ye Qingcang's strength was not weaker than his, with him making a move, the father and son Ye Chen would come to an end. From this moment on, the storm would be quelled.

"Father!" Ye Lingtian spoke up, the old head of the family was the last hope of defending the Ye family.

"Are you going to make a move?" Ye Chen looked at Ye Qingcang, facing the terrifying pressure, he showed no fear, the elemental energy in his hand still condensed, ready to deal with Ye Luochen at any time.

"Ah, stop it, leave now, and I'll guarantee that you won't die." Ye Qingcang looked deeply at Ye Chen, a hint of relief flashing in the depths of his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a trace of gloom.

Huh?

Ye Chen was slightly surprised, how could he miss the fleeting expression of relief in Ye Qingcang's eyes?

But he was puzzled.

This so-called grandfather of his had been extremely ruthless in casting him and his father out of the main family sixteen years ago.

Why would he show such a relieved expression, and moreover, there seemed to be no killing intent in his aura.

Why was that?

"Father!"

Ye Feng stepped forward, looking at Ye Qingcang with a complex expression.

Ye Qingcang didn't look at Ye Feng, just standing on the battle platform with a calm expression.

Ye Feng walked step by step towards him, staring straight at Ye Qingcang, saying, "Let me call you father, back then, I was seriously injured, not only did you not lend a hand, but you also heartlessly cast me out of the main family, why? Just because I couldn't cultivate anymore, because I became a useless person?"

Ye Qingcang remained silent.

"But you never thought that I would come back, the Ye Lingtian you chose back then is now a defeated general under my command, do you regret it?"

Ye Feng stared straight at Ye Qingcang, his expression fierce.

He really wanted to hear his father say that he regretted it.

He really wanted to hear his father explain, to care about him.

Whether useless or not, he was still his most beloved child.

However, Ye Qingcang's words made Ye Feng's heart ache like a knife.

"I have never regretted it, even if I could do it again, I would still cast you out of the main family." Ye Qingcang said without hesitation.

Ye Feng's footsteps paused, his fierce expression showing extreme pain, roaring, "Why?"

Ye Chen also looked at Ye Qingcang.

When Ye Qingcang showed that fleeting expression of relief, he felt that Ye Qingcang seemed to have something hidden.

When his father questioned like this, he could be sure that this Ye Qingcang was not as heartless as he appeared.

What was this so-called grandfather hiding?

Ye Qingcang did not respond, only saying, "Leave the imperial city, and I'll guarantee that you won't die."

"Ye Qingcang, the father and son Ye Chen are doomed to die, you don't need to show mercy, just kill them directly." Liu Qianlang spoke up.

This was already the second time Ye Qingcang had said he would spare Ye Chen's life.

However, Ye Chen must be killed.

Father and son were too terrifying, able to fight at the third or fourth level, who in the Xuantian Empire could do this?

The most terrifying thing was Ye Chen, who could harness the power of heaven and earth. If he stepped into the realm of imperial martial arts, the Xuantian Empire would surely be in chaos. Therefore, this father and son must be killed.

"The affairs of the Ye family are not something His Majesty needs to intervene in." Ye Qingcang responded lightly.

It's not up to His Majesty to intervene...

These calm words echoed in the martial arts field, shocking everyone like thunder, making everyone stunned.

That was the current emperor, who dared to speak like this.

Strictly speaking, this was defiance.

"Ye Qingcang, we are peers, old friends from years ago, I can overlook your disrespect, but Ye Chen and his son must be killed by your own hands." Liu Qianlang spoke in a deep voice.

Ye Qingcang did not respond, just looking at Ye Chen, as if waiting for Ye Chen's answer.

Ye Feng was also stunned, what did Ye Chen understand?

Ye Chen looked at Ye Feng and said, "Father, perhaps you really misunderstood the Ye family."

Misunderstood?

Ye Feng was somewhat puzzled.
