32: The powerful emperor's son forced the quasi-emperor to commit suicide!

Upon hearing these words, Ye Nantian's heart was filled with astonishment, and his entire being trembled.

Immediately, he quickly turned around to face Ye Linger behind him, asking with urgency, "Ling'er, is this true?"

"Father, Xuan Tianchen killed Ye Fan, that's why your daughter attacked him!" Ye Linger's voice was filled with grief and indignation.

"What!" Ye Nantian's face was full of disbelief.

However, when his gaze fell upon the ruins,

and he saw the horribly mutilated and unrecognizable corpse of Ye Fan, his heart immediately sank.

He clearly remembered that when he let Ye Fan leave that day, he had repeatedly warned him not to return until he had reached the Quasi-Emperor realm.

He never expected that on the day of Ling'er's wedding, Ye Fan would still resolutely step into the Xuan Clan's territory.

Although such deep filial affection should be commended,

without the powerful strength to turn the tide, everything was mere empty talk when facing a behemoth like the Xuan Clan.

At this moment, gazing at Ye Fan, who had already lost all signs of life, Ye Nantian could only sigh deeply.

Now that things had come to this,

the so-called right and wrong no longer mattered!

After all, just the two incidents Xuan Zhenshi mentioned earlier were enough to plunge the Immortal Ye Family into an abyss of eternal damnation.

As a Quasi-Emperor Expert who had cultivated for tens of thousands of years, what kind of storms had Ye Nantian not experienced in the past!

He naturally understood that everything happening now

was merely a trap that This Imperial Son of the Xuan Clan had set for Ye Fan and Ling'er long ago.

And Ye Fan and Ling'er, being inexperienced, were naturally no match for Xuan Tianchen, who had been tempered in the Higher Heavens for many years.

Even Ye Nantian himself only now realized Xuan Tianchen's true intentions.

Xuan Tianchen not only wanted to seize Ling'er's Primordial Sacred Body but also intended to completely eradicate the Immortal Ye Family to eliminate future troubles.

Otherwise, with Xuan Tianchen's strength, Ling'er wouldn't even be able to get close to him, so how could she have wounded him with a sword!

All of this was merely to provide the Xuan Clan with a plausible excuse to annihilate his Immortal Ye Family.

Thinking of this, a deep sense of dread involuntarily appeared in Ye Nantian's profound eyes as he looked at Xuan Tianchen.

For someone like Xuan Tianchen, once he matured, it was truly unknown whether he would be a blessing or a curse for the Higher Heavens!

At this moment, Ye Nantian took a deep breath, his expression grave, and his mind rapidly began to ponder countermeasures.

Meanwhile, Xuan Tianchen stood there, a faint hint of triumph on his face, as if everything was under his control.

"Uncle Ye, why trouble yourself to come here? Later, my Xuan Clan will visit the Immortal Ye Family in the Vast Sea Immortal Domain!"

Xuan Tianchen's voice was calm, but it carried an undeniable hint of dominance and authority.

Hearing this, Ye Nantian's expression shifted slightly, and he slowly took a deep breath.

Then, he bowed to Xuan Tianchen and said, "Imperial Scion, you speak too seriously. Ling'er was ignorant and offended This Imperial Son. I beg This Imperial Son to forgive Ling'er this once!"

Even at this moment, Ye Nantian still hoped to protect Ling'er.

Xuan Tianchen looked at this scene, a cold smile playing on his lips, and a chilling glint flashed in his eyes.

"Uncle Ye, if she is ignorant, are you also ignorant? Or are you feigning ignorance with This Imperial Son!"

"Does This Imperial Son truly intend to be so overbearing?" Ye Nantian's face was very grim.

As a Quasi-Emperor Expert, he had his own dignity.

At this moment, being reprimanded by Xuan Tianchen, a junior, in front of everyone, how could he not be angry?

"Heh heh, This Imperial Son is overbearing? All the guests present today have witnessed everything from beginning to end. The truth of the matter, who is right and who is wrong, everyone has their own judgment in their hearts."

Xuan Tianchen and Ye Nantian stared at each other across the distance, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense.

Even the surrounding air, at this moment, seemed to solidify, making it almost impossible to breathe.

After a period of deep thought, Ye Nantian finally gritted his teeth and said, "Imperial Scion, what exactly do you want my Immortal Ye Family to do to satisfy you?"

"Hmph, to uphold the supreme prestige of my Xuan Clan, someone must step forward and take responsibility for today's events. If Uncle Ye publicly takes his own life, This Imperial Son can drop the matter!"

As soon as Xuan Tianchen uttered these words, everyone present was stunned into silence.

Looking across the entire Higher Heavens, to dare to openly demand a Quasi-Emperor Expert commit suicide in public,

only the Xuan Clan could possess such formidable strength.

Just at this incredibly tense moment, the longsword in Ye Linger's hand suddenly plunged into herself.

This strike was utterly resolute, directly piercing her heart.

"Xuan Tianchen, the previous matter was solely my doing, and has nothing to do with my father. Let my life end all of this!"

Ye Linger made no attempt to defend against the sword, causing it to instantly erode her life force.

Now that Ye Fan was dead, besides her father, there was no one left in this world she cherished.

To prevent her father from being put in a difficult position, and to avoid implicating the Immortal Ye Family,

in such circumstances, she could only resolutely choose death.

"No!" Ye Nantian cried out in alarm.

He suddenly turned his head and hastily embraced Ye Linger's tottering body.

"Ling'er, with this old man here, you will be fine!"

Ye Nantian did not hesitate in the slightest, immediately pouring power frantically into Ye Linger's body, doing his utmost to control her injuries.

As the saying goes, when a Quasi-Emperor Expert makes a move, you know whether they have it or not!

In just a moment, Ye Nantian successfully restored Ye Linger's injuries to their original state.

He had forcefully pulled her back from the brink of death.

"Father, your daughter is unfilial!" Ye Linger threw herself into Ye Nantian's arms, unable to stop her sorrowful cries.

Ye Nantian gently stroked Ye Linger's back, his eyes filled with heartache and tenderness.

He softly comforted her, "Ling'er, don't say such foolish things again. This father will never let anything happen to you."

At this moment, Ye Nantian's heart was filled with anger and unwillingness.

He secretly vowed that no matter what, he would protect his daughter and never let her suffer any more harm.

Xuan Tianchen, watching this scene, his expression darkened slightly, "Uncle Ye, have you thought clearly whether it's war or peace?"

After hearing these words, Ye Nantian slowly released Ye Linger from his embrace.

He did not immediately respond to Xuan Tianchen's words, but instead turned his gaze towards Xuan Zhenshi.

"Clan Leader Xuan, as long as the Xuan Clan can forgive Ling'er's offense, my Immortal Ye Family is willing to offer all our cultivation resources without reservation!"

In Ye Nantian's view, Xuan Tianchen was clearly determined to take advantage of them.

And in the current situation, only Xuan Zhenshi's word could offer them a glimmer of hope.

Furthermore, Ye Nantian firmly believed that Xuan Zhenshi, as the Clan Leader of the Xuan Clan,

between engaging in a major war with the Immortal Ye Family and obtaining all of the Immortal Ye Family's cultivation resources without expending a single soldier, would certainly choose the latter.

He would issue an empty promise for now; as long as he could take Ling'er back to the Immortal Ye Family and then send her away through the clan's teleportation array.

At that time, no matter whether the Xuan Clan chose war or peace, what did he, unburdened by any ties, have to fear?

However, Xuan Zhenshi said coldly, "As This Imperial Son of my Xuan Clan, what Tianchen says is my intention. Brother Ye, do you choose to commit suicide, or shall this old man personally strike you down!"

In an instant, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from Xuan Zhenshi, locking onto Ye Nantian.

Seeing this, Ye Nantian's face instantly darkened, looking extremely grim.

He wanted to try to negotiate again, but he didn't know what to say.

After all, with his Quasi-Emperor Sixth Level strength, he truly couldn't contend with Xuan Zhenshi at all.

And Xuan Tianchen, seeing Ye Nantian's frustrated expression, a slight smirk immediately appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Previously, he had gone to such great lengths to toy with them, all for the sake of killing Ye Fan, obtaining the Primordial Sacred Body,

and finding an excuse to destroy the Immortal Ye Family.

But these few big figures of his Xuan Clan were all the type who were ruthless and spoke little.

They wouldn't care about anything; if they said they would kill you, they truly would kill you in an instant!

Ye Nantian, seeing that the current situation had fallen into a desperate state, steeled his heart and decided to fight to the death.

He suddenly pulled Ye Linger close, then immediately unleashed the immensely powerful World-Ending Palm, fiercely striking towards Xuan Tianchen.

This was an almost full-strength blow from a Quasi-Emperor Sixth Level expert; how incredibly powerful its might was!

However, Xuan Tianchen, looking at this formidable palm strike, his expression remained as calm as still water, showing no signs of panic or distress.

Just at this critical moment, the Xuan Clan's Great Elder, Xuan Zhenfeng, suddenly appeared before Xuan Tianchen like a phantom.

With a gentle flick of the sword in his hand, he effortlessly and powerfully annihilated Ye Nantian's palm strike.

At the same time, Ye Nantian, taking advantage of this extremely brief opening, moved like lightning, swiftly stepping into the void and escaping from the Xuan Clan's territory.

Xuan Zhenshi did not move to stop him; since they were going to annihilate the entire Immortal Ye Family anyway, they could just kill him along with the rest later.

In these Three Thousand Worlds and the Higher Heavens, no one whom the Xuan Clan wished to kill could ever escape!
