114: Chapter 114 On the Eve of the Storm, Three-Way Clash!

Chu Ningshuang had originally been suppressed by the human emperor blood.

But seeing that the people from the Wang Family had truly arrived, she regained some of her vitality.

She pushed herself up from the ground, black Qi swirling around her cuffs, her face filled with malevolence.

“Lin Yi!”

“Aren't you very capable?”

“Today, I want to see how you'll settle this!”

Lin Yi glanced at her.

“Your dog life is already hanging by a thread, yet you're still thinking about acting and watching a play.”

“You're truly addicted.”

High in the sky, the three Wang Family Quasi-Emperors had already taken their positions, with dozens of Peak Saint Kings following to bolster their presence.

Wang Family Cultivators held War Halberds, tightly surrounding the perimeter of the Ancestral Hall.

At this moment, many Chu Family Disciples began to break out in a cold sweat.

They had originally thought today was just about overturning a case at the clan meeting.

Who could have expected that in the blink of an eye, it would become a clash between two Great Imperial Families?

Even more terrifying was that this group from the Wang Family was clearly prepared.

It wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision.

They had been buried outside in advance, waiting specifically for the moment Chu Ningshuang's identity was exposed.

A Chu Family Elder's face turned pale.

“Bastards, the Wang Family's schemes run too deep!”

“They drove Chu Ningshuang into our clan like a nail long ago.”

“If Lin Yi hadn't charged in today with great emperors essence blood and human emperor blood, the Chu Family would still be led by the nose by them!”

On the other side, several Disciples felt their scalps go numb.

“Who exactly is this person?”

“When did the Wang Family produce such a figure?”

“Wasn't Wang Teng the Imperial Son?”

“Then what is he?”

As these words were spoken.

Even more gazes from inside and outside the Ancestral Hall fell upon the black-clothed youth.

Everyone was waiting for him to speak.

The black-clothed youth did not disappoint them.

He tilted his chin, and his blood Qi surged.

Beneath his robes, strands of Ancient Emperor Saint Runes emerged on the surface of his body.

The runes were not many.

But with every stroke that lit up, the surrounding Void Realm grew heavier.

Even the Wang Family Cultivators behind him lowered their heads in unison.

The three Wang Family Quasi-Emperors stood behind him, their positions lowered by half a level.

Once this scene played out.

The hearts of the Chu Family crowd sank along with it.

This was not a display that an ordinary Wang Family Prodigy could have, nor was he a figure just pulled in to bolster the scene.

This was the true hidden trump card 'seed' of the Imperial Family.

The black-clothed youth looked at Lin Yi and finally announced his name.

“Remember it well.”

“Wang Teng is Wang Teng.”

“I am I.”

“That little score from Imperial Fall Valley, this young master will personally settle it with you today!”

He took a step forward, his voice spreading throughout the Ancestral Hall.

“This young master is the true Imperial Son of the Wang Family.”

“Wang Lie!”

When these words fell.

The Chu Family, inside and out, directly erupted.

“Wang Lie?”

“The Wang Family's true Imperial Son?”

“Then what was Wang Teng? A body double?”

“Impossible, when Wang Teng was born back then, it caused a sensation throughout the entire Northern Region.

Many people were witnesses to his rise!”

“But with this display, who else but an Imperial Son would be worthy of it?”

“You're right, with this posture, there aren't many in the Wang Family who can mobilize such forces.

No wonder, no wonder the Wang Family has been keeping this person hidden and not showing his face!”

“It's bad, Lin Yi is in danger! The Wang Family is playing a big game!”

Even Chu Chengdao narrowed his eyes.

He stared at those few Ancient Emperor Saint Runes on Wang Lie's body, his expression darkening further and further.

Chu Wanqing was also startled.

“The Wang Family's true Imperial Son...”

She murmured.

Many fragments in her mind clicked together at this moment.

Wang Teng was born too early and was absurdly high-profile.

Wherever he went, he carried the Wang Family's immense prestige.

It turns out that wasn't favor at all.

That was using him to take the hits!

Lin Yi looked at Wang Lie, his tone still flat.

“Hiding behind Wang Teng, relying on a body double to attract fire.”

“This level of 'promise' from your Wang Family has truly opened my eyes.”

Wang Lie sneered.

“The winner is king, the loser is the villain.”

“As long as it's useful.”

“While Wang Teng was alive, he blocked everything that needed to be blocked for me.”

“His death can also be considered a worthy one.”

As these words were spoken.

The backs of the Chu Family crowd went cold.

To be able to be this ruthless even to their own Family.

The Wang Family's game was more than just deep.

It was filthy to the bone.

An older generation Cultivator suddenly slapped his thigh, his face ashen.

“I understand!”

“I understand everything now!”

“Back then at Imperial Fall Valley, that big show the Wang Family put on wasn't out of desperation to save a son at all!”

“That old dog Wang Shuo was taking the opportunity to set a trap!”

“He deliberately pushed Wang Teng to the very front and deliberately made the Wang Family's movements as loud as possible.”

“Wang Teng dies, the Wang Family weeps, and the outside world all stares at this apparent Imperial Son.”

“The real Wang Lie could then continue to be nurtured in the shadows!”

“So that's how it is!”

“So that's how it is!”

As these words spread, the cries of shock inside and outside the Ancestral Hall grew even louder.

“Then does that mean there might be a problem with the death of the Wang Family Old Ancestor as well?”

“If that's really the case, then Wang Shuo has hidden himself too deeply!”

“He fooled the entire Three Thousand Dao Domains!”

“No wonder the Wang Family dared to barge into the Chu Family's ancestral land today; this was all calculated long ago!”

“From beginning to end, Wang Teng was just a shield!”

In an instant, even the people from Chu Wanjun's faction changed their expressions.

Previously, they only thought they were joining forces with the Wang Family to force Chu Chengdao to step down.

Only now did they understand.

The Wang Family never considered them allies at all.

This group had wanted to swallow the Chu Family whole from the very beginning.

The war spear in Chu Chengdao's hand vibrated, his voice cold enough to induce chills.

“What a Wang Family!”

“Using my Chu Family's Imperial Daughter as a pawn, and using my Chu Family's clan meeting as the edge of your blade.”

“Wang Shuo, Wang Lie, you father and son have truly made a fine calculation.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Lie wasn't panicked in the slightest.

He raised his eyes to scan the surroundings, his expression full of oppressive coldness.

“Patriarch Chu, don't speak so harshly.”

“The Imperial Families of the Three Thousand Realms were due for a re-ranking anyway.”

“If the Chu Family is willing to follow the trend, it might not be without a way to survive.”

“But you insist on betting everything on Lin Yi.”

“Then you can only die together.”

These words were spoken with extreme weight.

The faces of many Chu Family members turned pale.

This was no longer a secret struggle.

This was an open attempt to trample the Chu Family to death.

Lin Yi stood where he was, his robes swept up by the high-altitude winds.

He looked at Wang Lie and suddenly spoke.

“Finished barking?”

Wang Lie was furious, his eyebrows twitching.

“Lin Yi! You dare to insult this Imperial Son!”

Lin Yi raised his hand to brush the dust off his cuff.

“This Holy Son has insulted you today, so what? What can you do?”

“I thought after hiding for so many years, you'd be able to say something fresh.”

“Turns out it's still the same old clichés.”

“Using a double to take hits, using a woman to plant a line, and using a few old dogs as inside agents.”

“Being an Imperial Son like you is certainly quite convenient.”

Being mocked and ridiculed by Lin Yi.

Wang Lie's expression instantly turned cold, and the blood Qi on his body surged violently.

Another muffled boom came from above the Ancestral Hall.

Seeing that the conversation between the two sides had reached this point, Chu Ningshuang's courage also rose.

Clutching her chest, she stared at Chu Wanqing, her voice terrifyingly resentful.

“Sister, haven't you always wanted to know?

Why was every step you took upon returning to the Chu Family blocked by someone in advance?”

“Because your surroundings were never clean!”

“So what if you win more?”

“If the Wang Family wants to take you, they can take you!”

Chu Wanqing's fists tightened as she listened.

Lin Yi, however, laughed first.

“Even at death's door, you don't forget to give the Wang Family a boost.”

“You're certainly a loyal dog!”

After saying that, he looked up at Wang Lie.

“Her account will be settled in a moment.”

“Your account starts now.”

Wang Lie was just about to speak.

Lin Yi had already shifted his gaze toward the Elder's seats.

To be more precise, he was looking at Chu Wanjun.

“Have you watched enough of the play?”

“People have already fought their way to our doorstep.”

“As the Grand Elder of the Chu Family, how much longer do you plan to keep pretending?”

This one sentence directly pulled all gazes over.

Chu Wanjun's body stiffened.

Wang Lie, however, laughed at this moment.

His smile was very cold and also very arrogant.

He turned his head and directly called out Chu Wanjun's name.

“Chu Wanjun.”

“If you don't act now, when will you?”

“If Lin Yi doesn't die today and Chu Chengdao doesn't fall, will there be any way to live for your branch?”

The words fell.

Inside and outside the Ancestral Hall, everyone's breathing became erratic.

The Chu Family crowd all looked toward Chu Wanjun.

There was shock.

There was alarm and anger.

And there was uncontrollable killing intent.

Chu Wanjun stood in place, his face turning from green to white.

The Wang Family's War Banner fluttered loudly in the high sky.

The ground of the Chu Family Ancestral Hall also began to tighten inch by inch.

The storm had completely reached their faces.
