Chapter 22 - The Patriarch's Death

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ye Ting was immobilized, but his empty eyes were fixed on the array. It was dead silent inside, with no signs of life. His eyes were filled with gloom and despair. He suddenly wanted to laugh.

He couldn’t figure out why the heavens were so unfair to him. His wife was heavily injured, and it was unknown whether she was dead or alive. His daughter had fallen to the point of being tortured to death, so what was the point of keeping him alive?

As he thought about this, the blood in his heart surged. The spiritual aura in the top of his head disappeared. His spiritual senses were in danger and he was ready to self-destruct.

The servant boy at the side was about to lift him up, but at this moment, the light and shadow of the array formation not far away alternated, emitting a dazzling light! It was so piercing that everyone reflexively covered their eyes. Suddenly, there was a loud explosion in the courtyard!

Boom!

The powerful spiritual force pressure caused the air to become viscous and pressurized. Everyone was shaken to the point of retreating. Those who were slightly weaker had long fainted on the ground! Ye Shuang and Old Master Ye were also shaken to the point of retreating. They looked at the commotion in the array formation in bewilderment! Crash! It seemed like something had loosened!

The servants in the backyard cried out in alarm, “Old Master, the protective, protective array… has been broken!”

Old Master Ye’s body suddenly shook. He looked excitedly at the smoke in the array. It contained boundless power. This… could it be that Ye Zhang was about to break through?

Everyone had a look of joy on their faces as well. They had long known that the Patriarch’s talent was extraordinary, but they did not expect him to break through again in just a few short months! Ye Shuang lowered her eyes to look at the commotion in the array formation. The emotions in her cold eyes were indiscernible.

Ye Ting was tossed around by the tremors, and he successfully freed himself from the shackles. However, he didn’t feel relieved at all. Instead, he lay on the ground with a defeated expression, and his empty eyes were looking somewhere. Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure emerge from the smoke.

“Shu-er… Shu-er is still alive!” Ye Ting’s eyes widened as he muttered, then he shouted excitedly!

Someone sneered. “Has he lost his mind? How can that piece of trash, Ye Shu, be alive?” Before he could finish his sentence, his eyes gradually widened as if he had seen a ghost. He looked at the slim figure slowly walking out of the fog!

“Look, it’s Ye Shu!” Everyone was stunned!

As the fog dissipated, Ye Shu slowly walked against the light. The veil on her face moved with the breeze, revealing her cold almond-shaped eyes. She stood in the wind like a bamboo tree in an empty valley. The dagger in her hand was still dripping with blood, drop by drop! It was as if she had cut through the night sky, instilling fear in those who beheld her!

Ye Shuang’s originally calm face also became unsettled. Looking at Ye Shu’s unscathed appearance, her expression gradually became distorted. How was this possible? She was only a good-for-nothing. How could she have fought the Family Head without being injured by the array formation?

On the other hand, Ye Ting was wild with joy. He supported himself to sit up, and the corners of his mouth almost reached the back of his ears. “God bless my Ye family! Hahaha! My Ye family is not destined to die!”

Old Master Ye’s expression turned uglier. He suddenly regretted making the decision to sever ties with Ye Shu.

At this moment, there was the sound of rushing wind and a stream of light streaked across. He took it by reflex and was shocked when he saw the item in his hand!

Everyone recognized this item and muttered in astonishment, “This, this is Clan Lord’s Dragoncry Sword! Could it be that Clan Leader has already…”

“Ye Yu, I’m afraid this Dragoncry Sword can’t be returned to its owner. It’s stained with blood, and I find it dirty. Why don’t I return it to you?” Ye Shu’s light laughter resounded out. Her voice was extremely pleasing to the ear, yet the words she spoke were like a drop of oil that fell into a pot of oil and instantly exploded!

“M-Master was really killed by her!”

“How is this possible?!”

Ye Yu lowered his head and looked at the sword that had lost its owner’s aura. His obscure face wavered as he suddenly looked up at Ye Shu. His eyes were filled with malice. “He is your biological uncle! Ye Shu, you have a vicious heart!”

“Vicious?” Ye Shu helped Ye Ting up and smiled faintly when she heard this. “Why didn’t you say that he was vicious when he severely injured my parents and tried to kill me? Should I have just stood there and let him bully me?”

“Ye Yu, as an elder of the Ye Family, you shouldn’t be so biased!”

However, he wasn’t moved and his eyes were filled with murderous intent. “No matter what, you have to pay with your life today!” Spiritual Energy surged around Ye Yu, causing the entire Ye Residence to tremble. The Wind Breaking Dipper was roaring as a powerful beam shot out!

“Roar!”

A low roar came from the depths of the Ye Residence. This vibration carried with it a powerful pressure, driving the strong wind to move everyone! They looked at this movement in shock, their voices trembling.

“This is a Guardian Saint Beast! It’s only used against invading Nascent Soul realm mighty figures.. It’s extremely powerful… Looks like Old Master Ye is serious! Ye Shu will definitely die!”
