79: Run away

“Cloud Garment, do you hate your father?” Chu Tian King hugged his daughter, his voice trembling. He raised his hand and then lowered it, not even daring to stroke his daughter's head as he usually did.

“No, I don’t hate you. I know father has his own difficulties. It was just your daughter's gullibility, trusting that beast Ye Feng.”

Chu Yunshang lay in Chu Tian King's arms, her voice choked with sobs: “And father, don’t worry too much. Xiao Tian has already lifted the restrictions of the Supreme Yin Yang Art's sub-formula for me. Ye Feng can no longer restrict your daughter's cultivation or actions.”

“What did you say? Xiao Tian resolved the Supreme Yin Yang Art for you?” Chu Tian King's entire body trembled.

Below the altar, many Grand Elders and high-ranking officials' pupils contracted violently, their mouths slightly agape, their hearts shaking to the extreme.

Throughout the records of various ancient texts, the Supreme Yin Yang Art was deemed unsolvable.

When the Supreme Demon Sect ran rampant across the Hengtian Continent, even Emperor Sovereigns from major top Sects took action, yet they still couldn't resolve it. They could only watch helplessly as their own Prodigies turned into emotionless, desireless killing machines.

For example, in the Cihang Holy Sect, a Prodigy from the Hui family was captured by a Supreme Demon Sect expert. The contemporary Sect Master Dao Sovereign personally intervened, but still couldn't resolve the Demonic Technique, only able to watch him fall to the Demonic Path.

Because of that incident, the Cihang Holy Sect was enraged and spearheaded an alliance with various top Sects, sparing no expense to launch a large-scale extermination of the Supreme Demon Sect.

At this moment, a cold glint flashed in Ye Tianxiong's eyes as he looked at Chu Tian. Just then, he found Chu Tian also turned to look at him, a seemingly kind smile on his lips, nodding at him.

Ye Tianxiong's fists clenched slightly, turning white, his face extremely grim.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to have been played by this young child.

Chu Tian clearly discovered the Supreme Yin Yang Art long ago, but he didn't say anything. When he suppressed Ye Feng in the Holy Sky Pool and resolved the Supreme Yin Yang Art, he still didn't mention it, allowing Ye Feng and his own father to suspect each other.

Finally, he waited until the atmosphere reached its peak before suddenly revealing this trump card.

“Damn it!”

Ye Tianxiong's fists were white from clenching. He had actually been played by a little brat.

“Yes, Father, Xiao Tian has resolved it for me and even converted all the Devilish Qi accumulated by the Supreme Yin Yang Art into my own power.”

Chu Yunshang excitedly waved her fists, boasting, “This is also why your daughter was able to instantly break into the top three of the Combining Body Ranking and the top three of the Earth Board. Your daughter is super strong now; many of those cousins in the clan can't beat me.”

“My good daughter, it's father's fault. I, as a father, have been…”

Chu Tian King's eyes were filled with pain and guilt. He turned to look at Chu Tian, but dared not meet his own son's gaze.

“Xiao Tian, Father… Father, I’m not a good father… If it weren't for you, Xiao Tian, turning the tide, Father really wouldn't dare to imagine…”

Chu Tian King's voice trembled. He couldn't even imagine what it would be like to personally watch his obedient daughter fall to the Demonic Path, become emotionless and desireless, and turn into a soulless killing machine. He would go mad.

“This is what a child should do.” Chu Tian's voice was calm. He didn't choose to criticize Chu Tian King too much; criticism would only waste time and energy. Achieving the goal was enough.

Regardless, Chu Tian King currently remains the stabilizing force of the Chu family.

It's just a pity that he originally wanted to leverage this situation to try and depose Ye Tianxiong from the Sect Master position and install Chu Tian King as the Sect Master, but it now seems difficult!

The Ye family truly lives up to its reputation as a great clan with a million-year Legacy, possessing profound foundations and an abundance of talent. They quickly reacted appropriately, preserving the Ye family's dignity. They sacrificed Ye Feng, not hesitating at all despite him being the most outstanding Prodigy and eldest legitimate son of the contemporary Ye family, thus stabilizing any potential discontent within the Sect. Ye Tianxiong is indeed a formidable figure, ruthless in his methods, quick to react, and meticulous in his actions, making it difficult to find any real leverage against him.

From Ye Tianxiong's reaction, it can be inferred that even if Ye Feng were captured and subjected to severe interrogation, or even if Demonic Path methods were directly used to soul-search this eldest legitimate son of the Ye family, it would absolutely not implicate Ye Tianxiong.

It's likely that from the very beginning, Ye Tianxiong understood the seriousness of this matter, so he must have used other methods to allow Ye Feng to acquire the Supreme Yin Yang Art, secretly instructing him on what to do.

Even if the situation escalated and his son, Ye Feng, was exposed, it wouldn't implicate him as the father.

Of course, in the original plot, Ye Tianxiong gambled and won at the cost of his own son!

Ye Feng obtained the human-shaped killing machine, achieved Major Achievement in Demonic Technique, underwent a Nirvana-like transformation, and possessed monstrous strength. By the time the novel ended, he had already become an Emperor Sovereign, ranking among the top fifty on the Heavenly Board, his strength surpassed only by Ye Fan, the Son of Destiny who possessed the Hongmeng Saint Bone.

The Ye family produced two Emperor Sovereigns in one generation, both entering the top fifty of the Heavenly Board, shaking the myriad realms.

And now, the Ye family's unparalleled Prodigies are firmly held in his grasp, unable to rise again—this is the greatest gain.

This time, for the Ye family, it was definitely a major blow to their prestige and credibility. Moreover, the Ye family will definitely bleed heavily this time, giving up many significant interests to appease the Chu family's anger.

Only those in high positions truly understand how important prestige and credibility are.

When people's hearts are scattered and everyone harbors their own schemes, the team becomes difficult to lead.

This was the most severe blow to Ye Tianxiong, as the Sect Master.

At this moment, Chu Tianteng, a high-ranking member of the Chu family, flew back. He first saluted Chu Tian King and the others, then said with a grim expression, “Ye Feng, he ran away.”

“Ran away!”

“The entire Law Enforcement Hall was dispatched, eight thousand imperial guards, thirty thousand Disciples, a net was cast, the entire Sect was sealed off, and you let a mere beast of the Body Integration Realm escape?”

“Explain clearly, what happened?”

Chu Tianyun's eyes were filled with Evil Qi. The Chenxing White Tiger Blade in his hand flipped, its Saber Qi soaring to the sky, radiating Killing Intent.

Chu Tianteng coldly swept his gaze over the many high-ranking members of the Ye family and explained the entire situation. It turned out that when Saint Emperor Peak was sealed, Ye Feng used the Sect Master's token to have a group of Ye family deathsworn activate the Saint Heaven Sect's great formation. By the time they arrived, Ye Feng had already teleported away from the Saint Heaven Sect.

Chu Tianteng took out a golden token with a large 'Saint' character engraved on it. This was the Sect Master's token, held by successive Sect Masters, capable of activating the Sect-protecting formation, having the authority to mobilize the Sect's experts, and activating the core of the Saint Heaven Sect's Legacy.

Ye Hongchen and other Ye family Grand Elders and high-ranking officials' faces turned grim as they looked at Ye Tianxiong.

“I didn't,” Ye Tianxiong growled, gritting his teeth.

He felt as if he had a hundred mouths but couldn't explain himself.

If he had known a day earlier, things wouldn't have escalated to this point.

But he couldn't say that his own son was afraid his own father would kill him to silence him, so he kept it from him, stole the Sect Master's token, and secretly plotted his escape from the Saint Heaven Sect.

“Those Ye family deathsworn preferred death over surrender. When they saw us break in, they committed suicide on the spot. We couldn't capture any alive.”

Chu Tianteng gritted his teeth, his gaze coldly fixed on Ye Tianxiong: “Clearly, someone tipped him off in advance and made arrangements, otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?”

Buzz!

The white tiger's Saber Qi tore through the sky, fiercely slashing towards Ye Tianxiong.

“What more do you have to argue about? There's both human and material evidence, and you even gave the Sect Master's token to that beast.”

Chu Tianyun's voice was low. The Chenxing White Tiger Blade pointed directly at Ye Tianxiong, its Saber Qi tearing through thousands of miles of sky: “Old beast!”

“My Chu family will never rest until you are destroyed.”
