Supreme Lord of Towers

"Ye Leng, you ungrateful beast, if I hadn't saved you back then, you would have been killed by the powerful members of the Demon Race in the Outer Realm. Is this how you repay me?" Ye Xuan's chest was filled with rage as he spoke through clenched teeth to Ye Leng.

He and Ye Leng were cousins, and they had been very close since childhood.

Due to their exceptionally high talent, they were rare even in the entire Ye Clan, and were hailed as the twin heroes of the Ye Clan.

However, Ye Xuan was still a bit more outstanding than Ye Leng.

Later, during an exploration in the Outer Realm, Ye Leng was ambushed by a powerful member of the Demon Race and nearly perished.

It was Ye Xuan who arrived at the critical moment, risking his life to rescue Ye Leng.

If it weren't for Ye Xuan, he would have been long dead.

Yet, instead of remembering his kindness, Ye Leng repaid his kindness with enmity, helping the Ye Clan to fight against Ye Xuan's family.

Worse yet, he even killed his two grandsons.

How could Ye Xuan not be heartbroken!

"Humph! Ye Xuan, you did save me, but so what? You betrayed our Ye Clan, and there's only a dead end for you. I won't break the law because you saved me!" Ye Leng couldn't help but sneer, his mouth full of mockery.

In fact, the reason he hated Ye Xuan so much was because Ye Xuan had overshadowed him with his talent since childhood.

When others mentioned the twin heroes of the Ye Clan, they would definitely mention Ye Xuan first, and seldom mention him.

So, he really envied Ye Xuan.

This is why he repaid Ye Xuan's kindness with enmity.

Jealousy is often very terrifying; few people can escape it.

"Oh heaven, why do you treat our family this way?" Ye Xuan's eyes were full of deep resentment.

He and his son Ye Qi were now both crippled, and could die at the hands of the Ye Clan at any time.

Yet the Ye Clan still wouldn't let go, they sought to eliminate his two grandsons completely.

Heaven was truly cruel to him.

"This is not heaven's fault; blame it on your son marrying a witch with the Omen Bloodline, and your granddaughter Ye Xi also carrying that witch's bloodline.

Therefore, she must die." Ye Leng spoke expressionlessly, his mouth full of cruelty, enough to send chills down one's spine.

If Ye Qi had not married Ye Chen's mother back then, then Ye Xuan's family would definitely still be well.

Even if Ye Leng was jealous of Ye Xuan, there would be nothing he could do.

It was Ye Chen's mother who gave him a chance to exact revenge on Ye Xuan.

So, in a way, he should thank Ye Chen's mother.

"Shut up." Ye Qi roared, like a raging beast.

Although his wife carried the Omen Bloodline, she had never harmed any member of the Ye Clan.

However, the Ye Clan used this as an excuse to kill his wife and drew away the bloodline from his body.

This became Ye Qi's lifelong pain.

And this beast Ye Leng even dared to smear his wife's name.

How could he not be angry?

"Ha, waste, you'd better cherish your remaining time! Soon, I will bring those two bastards back to see you.

By then, you will understand what true despair is." Ye Leng said with a sinister expression, then vanished from sight.

He was beginning to prepare a plan to capture Ye Chen and Ye Xi.

Even if those two bastards had the protection of the Human King Hall, they would never escape his grasp.

To others, the Human King Hall was an incredibly terrifying entity, not to be provoked.

But to a Quasi-God Realm expert like Ye Leng, the Human King Hall wasn't omnipotent.

He certainly wouldn't refrain from acting against Ye Chen just because Ye Chen had joined the Human King Hall.

...

"Husband! I didn't expect that bastard Ye Chen would have a time to rise again, I thought he'd be completely useless in this lifetime." In another palace of the Ye Clan, a noble and elegant woman sneered.

This noblewoman was named Situ Xuan, and she was Ye Chen's aunt.

More than a decade ago, the news that Ye Chen's Dantian was shattered by Ye Leng was known to everyone in the Ye Clan.

Everyone thought that this bastard was completely useless.

Situ Xuan thought the same.

But unexpectedly, he not only healed his Dantian, but also grew to be so powerful that he could even kill Ye Fei and a Quasi-God descendant.

This really caught Situ Xuan off guard.

"Humph! So what if that bastard has become stronger? In front of our Ye Clan, he is still like an ant. Our Ye Clan only needs to casually send a Nascent Soul Realm expert to crush him." Next to Situ Xuan, a burly middle-aged man in black snorted, his expression full of disdain.

This middle-aged man was Ye Chen's uncle Ye Ren, and he was also Ye Qi's elder brother.

Back then, Ye Chen's mother was captured by the Ye Clan's strongmen because Ye Ren had kidnapped Ye Chen to threaten Ye Chen's mother.

Otherwise, with his mother's strength, she would have definitely escaped the Ye Clan.

So, Ye Ren was one of the people Ye Chen most wanted to kill in this lifetime.

"Husband, we don't need to worry about this matter. That bastard Ye Chen killed Ye Fei, and the Third Elder will definitely not let him go. We just have to wait and see the show!

As for those two traitors Ye Xuan and Ye Qi, they probably won't live for long either. Once Ye Chen and Ye Xi are dead, they will completely lose their value!" Situ Xuan said gloatingly.

Although Ye Xuan and Ye Qi were her father-in-law and brother-in-law, she couldn't wait for them to die.

Because Ye Xuan was deeply biased, he favored Ye Qi, the youngest son, much more than her husband.

And this was because Ye Qi's talent far exceeded her husband's.

This was something Situ Xuan always resented.

So, when the Ye Clan's strongmen collectively besieged Ye Chen's mother, she incited her husband to capture Ye Chen and use him to threaten Ye Chen's mother.

And Ye Ren actually agreed.

Because he too resented his brother deeply.

"Humph! My father and my brother brought this upon themselves; they even dared to betray the Ye Clan, it's simply asking for death. I'm acting for the greater good." Ye Ren said expressionlessly, not feeling any guilt at all.

"That's right, husband did the right thing. The Ye Clan has treated us well, and we absolutely cannot betray the Ye Clan. Especially since our beloved daughter has been chosen as a clan leader candidate, we cannot disappoint the family's expectations." Situ Xuan said proudly.

Her daughter Ye Xia was an extraordinarily gifted prodigy of the Ye Clan, surpassing even Ye Xuan and Ye Qi in their years.

Therefore, the high-ranking members of the Ye Clan had great regard for her.

Situ Xuan could not possibly destroy her daughter's bright future for her father-in-law and brother-in-law.

Those two were just getting what they deserved.
