"Who am I? Am I the undying and eternal Dragon Emperor, Ye Feng, who defies all heavens and fights across desolate lands?"
"Wrong, I am Ye Feng, the waste everyone talks about in Tianshui City..."
Within a room in Tianshui City, Ye Feng's mind is in chaos, a flurry of images flashing like he is in the midst of chaos.
On an ancient battlefield, war flags flutter fiercely, divine drums resonate, rivers of blood reflect all heavens!
There are warriors roaring and fighting, their bodies emitting dazzling light, traversing the universe!
There are warriors stepping on stars, a single sword breaking the void, with an overwhelming murderous aura!
Countless unimaginable images whizz by...
...
...
After an unknown period of time, Ye Feng slowly regains consciousness.
Opening his eyes, he finds himself lying on the bed. Looking at everything in the room, he suddenly sits up: "No, I am Ye Feng from Tianshui City. I was injured by Zhang Tianlong... But why did I feel like I just time-traveled to an ancient battlefield, possessing the memories of the Dragon Emperor! Did I merge with his memory, or was my body taken over by someone else?"
"Hmm?"
Just as he was utterly bewildered, a sudden surge of power burst from his dantian. He looked down, and was immediately startled.
Inside his dantian, astonishingly, a book was suspending out of nowhere — a book that looked chaotic-colored, virtual yet real.
This scene shocked Ye Feng.
To understand, the Dantian is merely a place for storing strength, how could there be a heavenly book inside it?
"Young master, you're finally awake!"
Just then, the door swung open, and in came a hunched over old man with white hair.
This person was well-known to Ye Maple. He is called Ye Wei, the steward of the Ye's family. He has been faithfully serving his father for several decades. Seeing Ye Maple's pale face, he anxiously inquired.
Ye Maple took a deep breath, suppressed his tumultuous thoughts, and said, "I'm fine Uncle Ye, where is my father?"
Ye Wei's expression darkened, he sighed and said, "Young master, you were severely injured by Zhang Tianlong. When you were carried back home, you were on the brink of death. Your father, out of fury, went to the Zhang's family seeking revenge. But the Zhang's family has countless strong masters. Your father, alone, was no match for them. He has been severely injured and retreated…"
"What?!"
Ye Maple was taken aback.
My father actually fought the masters from the Zhang’s family for me, then my father...
"Cheap woman, it’s all because of that cheap woman Zhao Milin!"
Now, the thought of these two, man and woman, made Ye Maple's body uncontrollable shake.
Zhao Milin used to be Ye Maple's woman. They were together for three years, but unexpectedly, this cheap woman had slept in Zhang Tianlong's bed.
The pair of lovers, passionately indulged in pleasures of the bed, were caught red-handed by Ye Maple.
Outrage drove Maple to confront Zhang Tianlong.
However, Zhang Tianlong was a genius from the Zhang family, having reached the sixth level of the Breaking Mortal Realm.
Leaf Maple was utterly defeated, knocked out cold in a one-sided match.
If it wasn't for the Resurrection Pill his father took, he would have been dead.
"Despicable man and woman, I, Leaf Maple, swear not to rest until I kill you!"
Seeing Leaf Maple's emotional turmoil, Leaf Wei hurried to console him, "Young master, don't worry, the master is not in danger. It's just that..."
The old butler paused slightly.
"Just what?" Leaf Maple demanded.
The old butler looked at Leaf Maple, reproach flashing in his eyes that were hard to detect:
"It's just that you were severely injured this time, and to save you, the master used our family treasure, the Resurrection Pill. This action has met with strong resistance from the head of the family, who are currently taking advantage of this situation to strip the master of his position in the family!"
"What!" Leaf Maple's face turned pale when hearing this.
He had no idea that his father would use the Resurrection Pill for him.
That was the family treasure, capable of bringing the dead to life, extremely precious.
Of course, as such a failure, using up the Resurrection Pill would surely upset people like Leaf Cangshan.
"But still, my father has worked diligently all these years in the Leaf family, his efforts and hardships acknowledged. Now they turn their backs on him over such a trivial matter. They are so heartless!"
Furious and indignant, he stood up and headed towards the hall.
At this moment, the grand hall had reached a fever pitch.
Ye Cangshan, leading the Ye family's top brass, was pointing at Ye Xiao, seated at the first place, and cursing with all their might.
"Ye Xiao, you shameless thing, get off the Patriarch's seat now!"
"You are selfish, doing whatever you want, having no regard for the family in your heart, you are the sinner of the Ye family!"
"From now on, the Ye family has only one patriarch, and that's me, Ye Cangshan!"
...
Ye Xiao sat as the head, listening to the insults below, his eyes filled with anger and even more despair.
Ever been diligent in the Ye family, giving his heart and soul, taking great care of his elder brother Ye Cangshan, but now they have turned against him for the sake of the position of Patriarch.
What was even more unbelievable to him was that the elder group, which had always been above the Patriarch and never interfered in the family's affairs, also stood by Ye Cangshan's side.
"Well then, since you are all in collusion, disregarding old sentiments, and forcing me to abdicate, I, Ye Xiao, will not be the patriarch either!"
He got up from his seat, wearing an indifferent look.
Boom.
Just then, a sudden shock rang out.
The originally closed gate, at this moment, shattered. Amidst the scattered debris flying all over the place, a figure stood in the center.
In that instant...
The grand hall suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone was stunned.
Because they couldn't imagine that in the Ye family's council hall, there was actually someone who dared to break the door and barge in.
Who could have such audacity?
They all looked towards the doorway. Once they did, they were all surprised.
Because who would have thought that the person who kicked the council hall's door was not other than the infamous "waste", Ye Feng, of the Ye family.
"Little Feng, you're okay now!"
When Ye Xiao saw at the entrance that the teenager was Ye Feng, he was first stunned, but then promptly reacted.
As if his son was okay, he didn’t care about anything else.
"Ye Feng, you are so audacious!"
However, the next moment, Ye Cangshan's voice scolded.
"Dare to break into the grand council hall, who gave you such courage, are you tired of living!"
Ye Cangshan was furious.
At this moment, he saw himself as the head of the Ye family.
Because if anyone dared to break into the hall, it would be a blatant slap to his face. If he doesn't do something, where would his dignity be?
Yet, Ye Feng didn't even spare him a glance. His eyes were as sharp as blades, scanning everyone in the main hall before finally settling his sight on the Grand Elder, Ye Santong. Word by word, he declared, "Are you planning to impeach my father today?"
The entire hall fell into a stunned silence.
No one expected that a so-called 'useless' member of the Ye family would dare to question the Grand Elder.
Everyone knew that the Grand Elder's status was on par, if not higher than Ye Xiao's and he stood above the family's leader as part of the Elder Council.
Such audacious courage from Ye Feng to question the Grand Elder, was he tired of living?
The Grand Elder was slightly taken aback, unable to react, when the angry roar of Ye Cangshan echoed throughout the room. "Ye Feng, you have some nerve. I was asking you a question, brat. How dare you ignore me, are you testing the dignity of the house leader!"
Ye Cangshan's face turned livid, his killing intent overflowing. He simply could not comprehend how this insignificant waste of the Ye family could ignore him. Despite being the Grand Elder, even he does not dare to ignore him, so who was this waste to do so?
Rumble!
The more he thought, the angrier he got. He exerted his seventh-level transcendent strength onto Ye Feng, ready to cut him down on the spot.
"Hmph!"
Just at this moment, Ye Xiao snorted coldly, stepping in front of Ye Feng, diffusing Ye Cangshan's oppressive aura.
"My son, Ye Xiao's son, is not someone you all can bully. Anyone who dares to act recklessly in the future, don't blame me for ignoring our past relations!"
Although Ye Feng's action was impolite, he did it to stand up for him. This warmed his heart, and naturally he would not let his son suffer even the slightest harm.
Ye Cangshan trembled with rage, his anger flared up, yet he was truly fearful of Ye Xiao's strength. He looked towards the Grand Elder, "Grand Elder, look at these two, this father-son duo, they are utterly lawless. They have no regard for our Ye family. As our Elder, you must uphold justice for us!"
