Divine Realm.
Eight potent beings, capable of causing tremors in the Divine Realm with a mere stomp, encircle a young man with blood-red long hair.
"Ye Ya, surrender. You are afflicted with the most peculiar poison in the Divine Realm, rendering only a tenth of your power. Let us send you on your final journey," these powerful beings of the Divine Realm prepared for battle.
Shock filled their hearts.
True to his reputation as the most fearsome subordinate of Emperor Hei Yan, he has managed to escape the encirclement even while severely poisoned! If he were in his heyday, his might would be terrifying unimaginable, no wonder his prestige in the Hei Yan Empire far surpasses that of Emperor Hei Yan.
Because of that, fortune has turned against him!
Great competence overshadows the lord.
"Hahaha…" Ye Cliff, holding the Cangqiong Sword, roared with laughter to the sky.
Reflecting on years filled with hardships, charging into the fray and conquering great territories, only to meet such an end.
"In the next life, I won't serve anyone ever again!"
"I will establish my own power."
"Hei Yan, the day I return will be the day you regret!!!"
On this day, Blood Emperor Ye Cliff fell.
The Divine Realm trembled.
...
Tianling Continent.
Ancient Dan Empire, Red City, Ye Family.
As chaotic memories surged in, Ye Ya opened his eyes, exuding an air of unwillingness. He thought always with persistent longing, yet ended up being poisoned by Black Flame. "How... How have I become so weak?"
Thinking of his status as the peak of the Emperor Realm, he was only one step away from eternity, but now he was only at the third level of Qi training.
After introspecting.
Ye Ya said solemnly, "It seems that I am inhabiting the body of this Ye family's chief, Ye Ya."
The body's name was also Ye Ya, seventeen years old, the leader of the Ye family. He was a puppet under the absolute command of the three elders, and no one in the Ye family ever considered him as their chief.
"A vassal?"
Ye Ya had sworn never to be anyone's vassal.
At this moment, the door to the room was pushed open.
A servant swaggered in, "Chief, the Mo family is here and they demand you to come immediately, to send Miss over to the Mo family for a couple of days."
Though Ye Ya was a lackey, he had a young widowed aunt who was among the top ten beauties of Red City. She got married at the same day his uncle died. To return the favor, she lived solely with Ye Ya.
As for the Mo family, they were one of the four major families in Red City, not something the small Ye family could afford to offend.
"Oh? Send my young aunt to them?" Ye Ya said, his expression unreadable.
Dare they try to issue orders to him?
Even the Black Flame Emperor would not dare.
"Yes, in the entire Ye family, only you can command her. I say, Patriarch, she is your younger aunt. The young master from the Mo family is a well-known playboy in the Red City."
The servants sneered.
In the Ye family, no one took Ye Ya seriously.
"Heh!"
...
Ye Ya entered the hall.
Mo Shao Lei was tasting fruit, sipping fine tea, and laughing heartily as he watched the maidservants of the Ye family. The maidservant had a shaky hand on her clothes.
"Undress for this young master!"
The maid was crying, and the elders of Ye's family present had a stern look on their faces.
"Where is Li Shuang? Why hasn't she brought this young master over yet? Does that waste Ye Ya not want to live any longer?"'
"Master Mo, please be patient. I have already ordered my people to go."
He was the third elder of the Ye family, Ye San Tong, who had secretly become a lapdog of the Mo family. Relying on the backing of the Mo family, his power in the Ye family was very high, with about half of the elders pledging their support.
Ye Ya's appointment as the clan leader was his suggestion.
The maid closed her eyes, her shoulders of her clothes gradually falling. Just as the servants were shaking their heads and sighing, Ye Ya arrived.
"Get out."
Ye Cliff uttered casually, and the maid, covering her face, left.
The elder of the Ye family frowned. Ye Cliff was just a puppet of the third elder, and the third elder had already secretly joined the Mo family. His appearance was a shame to the Ye family.
Mo Shao Lei laughed heartily, "This kind of vulgar girl is really uninteresting, Ye Cliff, call Li Shuang out for this young master. That kind of girl is worthy of my personal visit."
Ye Cliff turned around, "Just because of you?"
Daring to use a commanding tone had already touched Ye Cliff's bottom line.
Mo Shao Lei's face chilled slightly, warning darkly: "Ye Cliff, you better be mindful of your status. You're able to serve as the clan leader because of my family's wishes. I could make you as prestigious as a minister, or as lowly as dirt."
"Heh."
Ye Cliff chuckled.
In front of the elders of the Ye Clan, in front of the servants, in front of the humiliated maid, he slapped him directly.
"Does it hurt?"
"You dare to hit me?" thundered Mo Shao Lei, his face livid.
"Seems like I've awakened you. No wonder you dared to provoke in front of this clan leader just now."
Being a vassal was Ye Cliff's taboo.
But others didn't think so.
In the past, Ye Ya obeyed the Mo family unquestioningly. The servants whispered behind his back, calling him 'Mo's Dog' and 'Puppet Chief'. But now, Mo's loyal hound, had audaciously slapped the youngest master of the Mo family, whom they loved the most?
"Has he gone mad?"
"Could it be that the Mo family discarded him, and this is his final outburst?"
"Ye Ya..."
In the inner hall, a peaceful and beautiful young girl hid behind the curtains, moved to witness Ye Ya, who had always been obsequious, coming forward and delivering a ferocious slap to the young Master Mo Lei due to her predicament.
Her name was Li Shuang.
