Chapter 459: Chapter 458: The Ye family, Ye Lingtian

Ye Feng said calmly, "He’s out of danger. By tomorrow morning, Grandfather will be fully recovered."

Ye Tianwen exclaimed, "That’s wonderful! Truly wonderful!"

A flicker of apprehension clearly crossed Ye Tianqiang’s eyes, but it vanished as quickly as it appeared. His eyes darted about before he quickly said,

"Oh, that’s wonderful! I’ll go make arrangements for a proper celebration right away."

With that, he shot a meaningful glance at Ye Chong, and the two of them departed in a hurry.

Ye Feng watched them go, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He turned to Ye Tianwen and Su Mei with a smile.

"Mom, Dad, you two stay here with Grandfather. I’m just going to the restroom."

With his hands in his pockets, he strolled out just in time to see Ye Tianqiang and Ye Chong slip into a nearby room. He followed at a leisurely pace.

Inside the room, Ye Tianqiang’s face had turned ashen. "I can’t believe that bastard actually managed to heal the old geezer."

Ye Chong’s expression changed dramatically. He cried out in a panic,

"Dad, what are we going to do? If the old man really wakes up, everything will be exposed!

That brat has gotten in with the princess and is incredibly powerful now. If he finds out the truth, he’ll never let us off the hook! What do we do?"

"What else can we do?!" Ye Tianqiang snarled through gritted teeth. "We have to nip this in the bud. Call the Adjudicator Enforcer right now.

Tell them Ye Feng and his family are here, and that they should come get what they’re looking for as soon as possible. Lord Enforcer will take care of a few... loose ends for us!"

Ye Chong quickly pulled out his phone and made the call.

But just then, a cold, mocking laugh echoed from outside the door.

"Over eighty members of the Ye family died a tragic death, yet your branch of the family came out completely unscathed. So, it turns out you’re in league with the Adjudicators."

"Who’s there?!" Ye Tianqiang shrieked.

"Me. Ye Feng." The door swung open, and Ye Feng walked in with his hands clasped behind his back.

Seeing Ye Feng, Ye Tianqiang’s gaze turned murderous.

"You little brat. Eavesdropping on our conversation? You’ve learned something you shouldn’t have. Fine. Since you’re so eager to die, I’ll be happy to send you on your way!"

In a flash, he was in front of Ye Feng, his right fist raised and swinging ruthlessly toward his temple.

But before the punch could land, Ye Feng’s right foot shot up and slammed into his abdomen. With a dull thud, Ye Tianqiang was sent flying, crashing into tables and chairs and sending them scattering.

"Dad!" Ye Chong, who had just hung up the phone, shrieked and rushed over to help Ye Tianqiang to his feet.

Ye Tianqiang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Staring at Ye Feng, he snarled, "You’ve got some skills, you little brat. I’ll give you that. But it’s not going to be enough. You’re still going to die here today."

He then roared, "Men!"

The words had barely left his mouth when several burly men burst into the room.

Ye Tianqiang pointed at Ye Feng and snarled, "Cripple this little bastard for me."

The men grunted in affirmation and charged at Ye Feng.

But at that moment, an authoritative voice boomed from the doorway, "I’d like to see who dares!"

As the voice spoke, a group of people walked in. When he saw the man in the lead, Ye Tianqiang cried out in shock,

"Dad? But... he said you wouldn’t wake up until tomorrow morning! How are you awake now?"

Ye Feng chuckled. "If I hadn’t said that, how would Grandfather get to see your true, ugly colors?"

"You..." Ye Tianqiang was speechless with rage. Only now did he realize that Ye Feng had been setting a trap for him all along.

In the next instant, his eyes darted about, and he cried out to Ye Lingtian, "Dad, this kid is after the family fortune! He tried to kill me! Just look at what he’s done to me..."

Before he could finish, Ye Lingtian strode forward and slapped him hard across the face. Pointing a trembling finger at him, he roared in fury,

"Shut your mouth, you unfilial son! Still spouting nonsense at a time like this! Did you really think I didn’t know? I’ll tell you, I know everything!

Ten years ago, you were afraid your older brother’s side of the family would want their share of the inheritance, so you did everything you could to push them out. In the end, your brother, not wanting to fight with you, offered to move back to our ancestral home.

But you weren’t satisfied. You wanted to wipe them out completely. You secretly contacted the Adjudicators and told them your brother possessed the Linglong Jade Pagoda, an artifact that could massively boost one’s cultivation. The Adjudicators sent their people after that treasure, and in doing so, they slaughtered your brother’s entire family—over eighty people.

Over eighty living, breathing souls! Over eighty members of our Ye family bloodline! All of them, sent to their graves because of your betrayal!"

Ye Lingtian could no longer hold back his tears, which streamed freely down his aged face.

After a long moment, he managed to compose himself and continued,

"When I got the news, I contacted a few of my old comrades to mount a rescue, but we were all gravely wounded by the Adjudicators’ masters. You unfilial son, this is all your doing! Let me ask you, does your conscience not hurt at all?"

As he spoke, his eyes turned bloodshot. "Today, I will kill you, you unfilial son! I will get justice for my eldest’s family, and for the eighty other members of the Ye family!"

With that, he kicked out at him again.

But at that very moment, a white-robed elder appeared out of thin air. The instant he manifested, a terrifying pressure descended upon the room.
