Nine Dragons War Sovereign

Within the Ye Family palace.

He was dressed in red and looked over a hundred years old. His cultivation base was at the seventh level of the Primordius Dao Lord and his bloodline power had been awakened to the eighth level.

He was the one with the strongest cultivation out of all the Clan Elder, and also the one who rarely showed himself. His name was "Ye Qianyun", and he was Ye Wen Tu's grandfather.

Ye Qianyun had long heard that his grandson had been defeated by Ye Ling in the Sky Dragon Sect and was unable to get out from his closed doors cultivation. Now that he saw Ye Ling return to the Ye Family and dare to look down on them, he naturally could not bear to see Ye Ling's arrogant appearance.

"That's right!" Young Master Ye Ling's name is famous, and if he were to appear and take care of it, it will definitely be a small matter. "

"Hm!" Young Master Ye Ling is extremely powerful, and is also the future Patriarch of our Ye Family, he should be allowed to step in. "

"..."

When Ye Qianyun stood forward to make a suggestion, all of the Clan Elder present nodded in agreement. Their eyes were all filled with unfriendly intent, and it was a good opportunity for them to touch Ye Ling's spirit.

In the hall, Ye Tianqiong frowned, looking at the many Clan Elder s in the hall recommending Ye Ling to go, he felt dissatisfied.

"Since everyone has strongly recommended me, Ye Ling, if I, Ye Ling, do not go, I would not know how to appreciate your kindness."

"Grandfather, Ling'er is willing to share the burden of the family. This time, if we leave the stone mine to Ling'er, what does grandfather think?"

Seeing that his grandfather, Ye Tianqiong, was about to speak, Ye Ling anxiously opened his mouth to speak first. He could tell that these Clan Elder were targeting him, but he had never placed them in his eyes before.

Especially that Ye Qianyun, Ye Ling felt that he was extremely shrewd, and he clearly remembered that when the Ye Family was in trouble, he had not appeared.

Now, the Ye Family was stable, and this man actually appeared. He even dared to stir up trouble here, and intentionally targeted, so Ye Ling was suspicious of him?

Hearing what Ye Ling said, Ye Tianqiong frowned, his expression became serious, he glanced at the people around him, and then nodded his head and said, "Ling'er should be more careful, to prevent this little one from plotting something!"

"Thank you for your reminder, grandpa."

"Ling'er really wants to see who has the guts to act so arrogantly in my Ye Family's territory!"

Ye Ling cupped his fists and responded to his grandfather, then turned to look at Ye Qingyun, and his eyes revealed a cold smile.

"I wish Young Master Ye Ling success!"

Ye Qianyun and Ye Ling looked at each other with a face full of smiles as they clasped their fists and congratulated Ye Ling. However, they were laughing coldly in their hearts as they lamented Ye Ling's arrogance and conceit.

"Thank you, Clan Elder Qi Yun, for your love."

"If not for you, how could I, Ye Ling, accept this mission?"

Ye Ling laughed and shook his head, seeing that Ye Qiyun was deliberately mocking him, he then looked at Emperor Huang and nodded slightly, then brought Xia Yao and left the palace with him.

Looking at Ye Ling's departing figure, Ye Tianqiong's expression was somewhat grave. After he retracted his gaze, he directly looked at Ye Qiyun, and a cold chill flashed past his eyes.

"The various Clan Elder s of the Ye Family, now that Ling'er is heading to the stone mine, everyone is waiting for her. No one is allowed to take even half a step away from the Ye Family.

Ye Tianqiong opened his mouth, revealing a smile that was not a smile, looking at the people in the hall, he directly stated his orders. What he did was to prevent others from interfering, in case someone tried to harm Ye Ling.

Hearing what Ye Tianqiong said, all the Clan Elder s in the hall had weird expressions. Ye Qiyun's expression was a little ugly, Ye Tianqiong did this because he wanted to imprison them in the Ye Family.

No one dared to object, the Ye Family's Clan Elder knew very well, this was to prevent them from colluding with the unknown, so who would stand out to object?

… ….

In Southern Martial Continent, the southeastern part of the continent was a mountain range.

This place was relatively remote from the Ye Family, and because it was an important place for them to cultivate, the Ye Family placed special emphasis on it.

There was only one city in a thousand mile radius, and it was surrounded by villages and mountain farmers.

Ye Ling brought Xia Yao and walked side by side with him. Both of their expressions were somewhat heavy.

"Ye Ling, that Ye Qianyun in the hall today is obviously doing this out of bad intentions. Why did you still follow his instructions?"

Emperor Huang frowned, and turned to Ye Ling and asked. When he was in the Ye Family's hall, he could see that Ye Qiyun was extremely hostile towards Ye Ling. He was obviously trying to agitate Ye Ling to accept this matter.

"Senior Emperor Huang might not know this, but that Ye Qianyun is Ye Wen Tu's grandfather."

"From my guess, this person most likely knew that his grandson was defeated by me, so he wanted to use this opportunity to get rid of me."

Ye Ling let out a surprised laugh, and looked towards Emperor Huang, and indifferently told him the truth, while he, Ye Ling, was merely pushing the boat with the current, wanting to share some of the burden for his grandfather.

Emperor Huang nodded. After knowing that Ye Qiyun did it for his own grandson, Ye Wen Tu, he had a cold smile on his face.

"There is a city ahead, that should be where the Ye Family lost contact with the city right?"

Ye Ling and Emperor Huang understood each other very well, and when they were silently walking forward, Xia Yao revealed a surprised look on his face.

The city was enormous, but it was also very dilapidated. The surrounding forests were almost completely destroyed, filling the air with smoke. It was utterly ruined.

More than half of the city wall collapsed, and specks of fire burned within the city. The inside of the city was deathly silent as blood flowed into rivers and corpses piled up like mountains. Everyone within the city suffered from the poison.

Ye Ling, Emperor Huang and the rest descended, and after nearing the city gates, a fishy stench assaulted their nostrils.

Ye Ling and the others could not help but frown, their expressions extremely ugly. Looking at the bloody scene inside the opened city gate, each one of them could not help but feel extremely angry.

The name of the city was "East Ridge", which was an important location set up by the Ye Family. There were millions of people in the city, and there were also many experts and soldiers of the Ye Family.

Ye Ling's expression was cold as he walked towards Eastern Ling City. When he stepped into the city, he saw that the corpses of the Ye Family clansmen were all around the walls, and each of them had died a miserable death.

"No wonder the Ye Family lost contact with the East Mountain City. The people of this city have been massacred long ago, turning into a dead city?"

Xia Yao's little face was as pale as paper. Facing the bloody scene in Eastern Ridge City, she actually felt fear, and couldn't help but feel goosebumps all over her body.

Killing a city wasn't something one person could do. Plus, there were powerful warriors from the Ye Family guarding this place, she didn't believe that the Ye Family wouldn't know.

"Save me …"

Just as Xia Yao finished speaking, a weak voice suddenly came out.

Hearing that, Ye Ling and Emperor Huang looked at each other, and quickly looked around the city to find the one and only survivor who had pleaded for help.

As Ye Ling, Emperor Huang and the rest searched for him, they finally found the location of the one who was still breathing among all the corpses on the city wall.

This survivor was a middle-aged man. He was a direct descendant of the Ye Clan, and his cultivation base was at the ninth level of the Primordius Dao Sovereign. It was obvious that he was the Ye Clan member that was in charge of East Ridge City.

Ye Ling anxiously saved him, he only saw that the man's body was riddled with wounds and wounds, his face still stained with blood, his life weak and ready to die at any moment.

"Do you know who I am?" Ye Ling looked at the Ye Clan expert in front of him and asked.

"You … You are Young Master Ye Ling. "

The Ye Family Ranker whose life was at stake, barely opened his eyes. He glanced at Ye Ling from the corner of his eyes, and then spoke out Ye Ling's name in a weak voice.

After receiving confirmation, Ye Ling nodded slightly, a mystical light condensed in his right hand and entered the body of the injured person. The Qi in his body quickly recovered, and his complexion improved.

Xia Yao and Emperor Huang who were at the side had tensed up, waiting for the Ye Family experts who were about to be saved, so that they could speak of the truth.

After a while, Ye Ling retracted his Dharmic powers, only to see the man in front of him had his eyes closed, and a red light enveloping his entire body, the blood energy in his body was quickly helping him recover.

In less than half a day, this powerful warrior of the Ye family had finally survived. Now that he had recovered his third level, it was enough for him to take care of himself.

"Speak, what happened here?" Ye Ling frowned, his expression serious as he asked the voice in front of him.

Hearing what Ye Ling said, the expert from the Ye Family slowly opened his eyes, stood up, cupped his fists and bowed to Ye Ling, "Many thanks to young master for saving me. My name is "Ye Qingtao", I am a member of the Ye Clan who is under the orders of the Patriarch. Not long ago, a group of mysterious black robed experts came to the Eastern Ridge City and started a massacre. In order to protect the city, I led the Ye Family to fight with them, but unexpectedly, they were so powerful that we cannot withstand them. That's why … "

At this point, Ye Qingtao's face was filled with fear. It was as though in his eyes, that group of people were demons. They were simply deranged, and his attacks were extremely vicious.

Until now, he still did not know the background of the other party, so when he answered Ye Ling's question, he seemed to be hesitating.

Ye Ling's face turned ugly. Ye Qingtao had talked for a long time, yet he did not say a single word about his opponent's details. This was undoubtedly nonsense.

"Right!"

"When I was heavily injured and unconscious, I seem to have heard them mention the Xue Clan."

As Ye Ling and the rest were having ugly expressions, Ye Qingtao suddenly opened his mouth, looking flustered, he mentioned about the Xue Clan to Ye Ling and the others.

"Xue Clan?" Ye Ling was shocked, she anxiously turned to Ye Qingtao and said, "Bring us to the stone mine to take a look!"

"Good!" Come with me. "

Seeing Ye Ling's nervous expression, Ye Qingtao did not dare to hesitate and immediately agreed to Ye Ling's request. Then, he quickly flew towards the back of Eastern Mountain City.

Ye Ling, Emperor Huang and the rest of them quickly followed from behind. After walking through Eastern Ridge City, they saw that it was less than five kilometers away, it was covered by a black mist. The entire place was covered by a black mist, making it impossible to see the way into the mountains.

"Death Qi?" The moment Ye Ling saw the black mist, he immediately felt the aura of death. This was a power that only the Underworld Realm possessed, it was obvious that there were people from the Underworld Realm around.

Ye Qingtao's face was filled with fear, but he did not stop his steps. He braced himself and rushed into the black mist, still leading the group into the forest.

Entering the forest, one could see that the death aura inside was extremely thick, a gloomy and terrifying aura, was pouncing on them, causing Ye Ling and the rest to slow down a little.
