14: Who says it's meaningless?

“How dare you!”

“Chu Tianyun, who gave you the authority to seal the Saint Heaven Elder Secret Realm?”

Ye Tianxiong’s face was extremely grim as he roared furiously, “Tianwang, it’s not that Big Brother doesn’t give your Chu Family face, but some people have gone too far.”

“To maintain Sect unity, Big Brother can only do this.”

Drink!

Ye Tianxiong stretched out his large hand, covering the sky and obscuring the sun, twisting the cosmos. A world seemed to be contained within his palm, directly enveloping Chu Tianyun.

Seeing this, Chu Tian King’s face flickered between clear and dark. His fists clenched and unclenched repeatedly, exuding a heavy Evil Qi.

But just then, an aged voice resounded through the sky:

“Plotting against my Chu Family Young Lord, and still wanting to escape?”

Old Tuo walked out from the Main Hall, sharp light flashing in his cloudy eyes. He slammed out a large hand, passing over Ye Tianxiong’s large hand, and suddenly grabbed into the Void Realm.

Boom!

Ten thousand miles of Void Realm collapsed, turning dark. The terrifying power of a Divine Ability of an Emperor Venerable raged, destroying heaven and earth.

Pfft!

In the Void Realm, an old man with white hair and beard, and a strong, tall physique, spat out a large mouthful of blood, his hair disheveled. He fell heavily from the depths of the Void Realm onto Holy Emperor Peak.

This person was precisely Ye Hongwu, and it was unknown when he had received the news, but he had already fled to outside the Saint Heaven Elder Secret Realm, preparing to escape the Sect.

“Harm my Chu Family Young Lord, if I let you escape the Sect, where would my Chu Family’s face be?”

Old Tuo said softly, then turned and walked back into the Main Hall.

But at this moment, the Sect was suffocatingly silent, and countless powerhouses were stunned.

Besides Chu Tian King and Ye Tianxiong, the Sect actually had another Emperor Venerable, and he was hidden within Holy Emperor Peak.

“Old Tuo is actually a hidden Emperor Venerable, oh my god!”

“I’ve visited the Chu Family and seen Old Tuo countless times, yet I never realized Old Tuo was an Emperor Venerable.”

“Using an Emperor Venerable to guard the door, the Chu Family is…”

Within the Sect, countless powerhouses’ mouths twitched wildly, and the shock in their hearts was beyond words.

Now, the Chu Family’s publicly known Emperor Venerable powerhouses had reached three.

And among them was Jian Kongzhu, a Heaven-Defying Sword Emperor, who was the strongest person in the current Hengtian Continent.

At this moment, within the Ye Family on Saint Emperor Peak, there was an eerie silence.

The Ye Family Grand Elder was severely wounded and struck down, and terrifying Qi fluctuations constantly emanated from within the Ye Family.

Within the Sect, countless people were terrified and panic-stricken, wondering if the two founding Families would truly start fighting.

“Tianwang, does your Chu Family still have any regard for the Sect rules, and for me, this Sect Master?” Ye Tianxiong’s face darkened as he withdrew his large hand and directly questioned Chu Tian King loudly.

“Without my permission, without the Elder Council’s consent, what right does your Chu Family have to directly suppress a Grand Elder and surround the Saint Heaven Elder Secret Realm?”

Although Ye Tianxiong kept questioning, his momentum was clearly much weaker, and he did not continue to attack Chu Tianyun. It was obvious that Old Tuo’s intervention, and the reappearance of an Emperor Venerable in the Chu Family, had brought him great deterrence.

“Grandpa Hongwu, are you alright?” Ye Fan’s eyes were bloodshot as he looked at the white-haired old man lying on the ground, constantly spitting blood. His entire body was trembling.

The cowardly old man is indeed unreliable. Fortunately, Old Tuo’s injuries have recovered.

Chu Tian’s gaze was cold, and the corner of his mouth slightly curled up. He was about to step forward to respond to Ye Tianxiong.

But at this moment, Chu Tian King did not answer Big Brother Ye Tianxiong’s question. Instead, he came before Ye Hongwu, gripped his neck, and lifted him with one hand. His eyes were filled with chilling Evil Qi, and he said, “Uncle Hongwu, tell me, why did you plot against my son? Was someone behind you?”

These words were pointed, and it was clear that Chu Tian King had also developed some suspicions.

Upon hearing this, Ye Tianxiong’s body trembled almost imperceptibly, and his face grew even darker, as if it could drip water.

He truly hadn’t expected things to develop this way, beyond his control.

This was not what he knew of Chu Tian King’s conduct; to be so decisive and resolute, to kill his way into the Liu Family, capture Ju’er, and directly search her soul.

The Chu Family even dared to be so strong, directly suppressing Ye Hongwu, this Grand Elder, without even seeking Chu Tian King’s permission.

What kind of change had occurred in this situation?

“Deputy Sect Leader, I will bear the consequences of my own actions. I just couldn’t bear to see my Ye Family Prodigy crippled for life, so I took a risk. Ye Fan is a Prodigy who appears once every million years in the Sect. Please do not pursue him.”

Ye Hongwu’s cloudy eyes struggled to turn, glancing at Ye Tianxiong. Flames suddenly ignited in his old eyes.

“Big Brother, he’s self-immolating his soul fire, he’s trying to commit suicide, stop him quickly!” Chu Tianyun’s loud shout came from outside the Peak, as he rapidly flew over.

But it was already too late!

Bang!

Suddenly, the flames in Ye Hongwu’s eyes extinguished, his vitality dissipated, and the Spiritual Qi Law throughout his body scattered. His head tilted, and he died just like that in Chu Tian King’s palm.

“Bastard!”

Chu Tianyun flew over, furious, and roared, “Big Brother, his suicide must be to cover up the person behind him! Obtaining various top-secret information from the Sect and plotting against the Sect Saint, my Chu Family’s Prodigy, is absolutely not something he, a mere Grand Elder who has withdrawn from the Sect’s power core and entered the Saint Heaven Secret Realm for secluded Cultivation, could have done.”

“We must investigate, we must investigate to the end.” Chu Tian stepped forward and said coldly. In his heart, he couldn’t help but feel some regret.

Just a little more, and he could have followed the clues and pulled out the real big fish behind the scenes.

Although Chu Tian King had erupted, he clearly still harbored some illusions in his heart.

But it was clear that Ye Hongwu had long prepared for suicide. A powerhouse of this level was not like Ju’er; if he was determined to die, searching his soul would be impossible.

“Congratulations to the host, Ye Hongwu’s death has caused a major Luck blow to the Son of Luck Ye Fan. Reward: 2000 destiny points.”

“Of course, we must investigate. This Sect Master will also investigate this matter to the end.”

Ye Tianxiong said with a grim face, but it could be seen that with Ye Hongwu’s death, he was somewhat more relaxed than before. He said to Chu Tian King, “Tianwang, Big Brother will not let this matter go easily.

If it’s found that someone was behind the plot against Uncle Hongwu, I will absolutely not let it rest.”

“Big Brother, I will also investigate to the end.” Chu Tian King raised his head forcefully and met Ye Tianxiong’s gaze, saying word by word, “Little Tian is my bottom line. Big Brother had better tell some people in the Family to know when to stop.”

Ye Tianxiong regained his composure, smiled slightly, and said, “Good.”

“Tianwang, Big Brother still says the same thing: as long as we brothers work together, no one can interfere with the unity and development of Saint Heaven Sect.”

Chu Tian King’s face was grim, but he still nodded.

“Grandpa, Grandpa…”

“Bastard, you killed my Grandpa, I’ll fight you to the death!”

At this moment, Ye Fan’s eyes were bloodshot, like a wild beast. He suddenly pounced on Chu Tian King and began to bite and tear wildly.

His blood Qi permeated, incredibly dense, and his bones emitted explosive sounds. He was even more terrifying than Ye Qiang, having clearly reached the Forging Bone Realm Peak, with strength even exceeding 600,000 jin.

Of course, with his strength, even if Chu Tian King stood there and let him hit, he would only shake himself to death.

“He really has been hiding his strength.” Chu Tian’s eyes flashed with a cold light.

Ye Fan could now Cultivate, which did not surprise him.

The reason Ye Fan had been hiding was clearly to use Liu Yun to get more Divine Medicine and Heaven And Earth Treasure from him.

Ye Hongwu, and even the people behind him, probably never anticipated that he would suddenly tear off the facade and pursue the investigation all the way down.

“Wasting so many Divine Medicine and Heaven And Earth Treasure from the Sect, yet only having barely less than 700,000 jin of strength, what a waste.” Chu Tianyun descended from the sky, his eyes carrying killing intent.

“Big Brother, just kill this waste. Let everyone in the Sect see what happens to those who plot against a Saint.”

Buzz!

Ye Tianxiong, who had just calmed his emotions, suddenly turned his head, his eyes bursting with terrifying Evil Qi, and said coldly, “Chu Tianyun, Uncle Hongwu has already paid with his life for this matter, taking on everything. Ye Fan is just a child, is it necessary?”

“Tianwang, what do you say?” Ye Tianxiong stared at Chu Tian King, “Ye Fan’s meridians are completely destroyed, and many Divine Medicine have already been consumed by him. There’s no point in pursuing it further.”

Chu Tian King remained silent. In his heart, he also felt that pursuing this waste was meaningless. It would be better to let it go; Sect stability was the top priority.

“Who says there’s no point?”

At this moment, Chu Tian stepped forward and smiled, “Uncle Tianxiong, wasting so many Divine Medicine on a waste like this, if it gets out, no Disciple in the Sect will be convinced.

Furthermore, Ye Fan is merely in the Forging Bone Realm, currently in the stage of refining his bones and muscles. Most of the Divine Medicine’s power is latent within his body.

Nephew believes that we should throw him into the Sin Domain. There, Spiritual Qi is cut off, which can prevent Ye Fan from continuing to refine the Medicinal Pill power within his body.

Second Sister has Cultivated with the Lord of Deadly Poison for many years and has a deep understanding of the human body. She must have a way to extract these medicinal properties.

Even if they cannot be extracted, letting Second Sister directly refine him into a Medicinal Pill—with so many Divine Medicine properties, it would definitely be a peerless Divine Pill.”

Hiss!

As these words left his mouth, a collective gasp of cold air could be faintly heard from the surrounding sky.

Refining a living person into a Medicinal Pill?

And it came from the Saint of a Righteous Path great Sect, which was simply suffocating.
