Li Cun looked at Ye Wushuang, then at the group of Ye clan members, and finally at the Tianzi Secret Palace, which was now engulfed in raging flames. His face contorted with fury as he roared, “You bastard, you’ll die without a place to bury your body!”
Ye Wushuang glanced at Li Cun and sneered, “Elder Li Cun, it’s still uncertain who will die!”
Tang Chuyi also laughed heartily and said, “Ye Wushuang, I always knew you were capable of great things. Seeing this old man’s rage, it seems you’ve burned something vital to them. Well done!”
After speaking, Tang Chuyi turned to Li Cun and sneered, “With me here, you think you can kill him? Dream on!”
Ignoring Tang Chuyi, Li Cun fixed his gaze on Ye Wushuang and said in a trembling voice, “This underground palace has been the culmination of Elder Wang’s efforts over hundreds of years, especially the Tianzi Secret Palace, which holds the results of his research on bloodlines for centuries. You’ve burned it down, and not only will Elder Wang never let you go, but the higher-ups of the Tianji Mansion will also hunt you down without mercy.”
His eyes then shifted to the more than thirty Ye clan members, and he roared again, “You think you can save them and leave? Foolish dreams!”
When Li Cun’s gaze fell on the withered and pale Ye Yunzhe, his pupils shrank, and he growled, “Ye Yunzhe, it’s you… You bastard.”
Li Cun then glared at Ye Wushuang and shouted, “Ye Wushuang, if you dare to take him away, neither heaven nor earth, nor any divine power, will be able to save you!”
Who?
Ye Yunzhe?
At this moment, not only Tang Chuyi and Shen Qian, but also the elders like Chu Mingjie and Qin Lizhe, all stared in astonishment at the man supported by several people behind Ye Wushuang.
Him?
Ye Yunzhe?
How could that be!
Five hundred years ago, the three great figures of the Ye clan who stood tall and proud were Ye Wentian, Ye Fushan, and Ye Yunzhe!
Although Ye Yunzhe’s fame was not as great as that of his elder brother Ye Wentian, he was still a well-known figure within the Qingyun Empire.
In fact, Ye Yunzhe’s name was even more widespread than that of the eighteen Tianwei guards.
In his twenties, he was still a dashing and elegant scholar, but after being struck by the injuries of his elder and second brothers, he decided to enter the path of martial cultivation and soared to great heights, causing a huge sensation in the Qingyun Empire at that time.
Five hundred years ago, when the Ye clan was destroyed, Ye Wentian had already vanished without a trace. Only Ye Fushan and Ye Yunzhe, as the mainstays of the Ye clan, along with the eighteen Tianwei guards, defended the clan.
But on that fateful night, the Ye clan was annihilated, and Ye Fushan, Ye Yunzhe, and the eighteen Tianwei guards all perished.
No one had expected that Ye Yunzhe had survived and was now… in this ghastly state!
He looked like a withered pine, thin as a skeleton, a far cry from the most charming figure in Qingyun of his time!
At this moment, Li Cun’s mind was crystal clear.
The destruction of the Tianzi Secret Palace was irreversible.
But these people from the Ye clan must not be taken away!
Otherwise, all of Elder Wang Jianmu’s efforts would truly be in vain.
Moreover, Ye Yunzhe was involved in a significant core secret of the Ye clan.
The reason Wang Jianmu had been tormenting him for so long and not letting him die was because of the secrets of the Ye clan that he held!
If Ye Yunzhe were to escape again, Wang Jianmu would surely kill him, Li Cun, upon his return!
Delay!
As long as he could delay until Wang Jianmu arrived, there would still be a chance to turn things around.
“Stop them!” Li Cun snorted coldly.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
Dozens of Yuanfu realm experts from the Tianji Mansion brandished their spiritual weapons, eyeing Ye Wushuang and his group menacingly and pressing forward.
“Stop them? Can you really stop us?”
Tang Chuyi sneered and said, “Disciples of the Qingyun Academy, listen to my command: slay the warriors of the Tianji Mansion, and you will be rewarded with academy points and great merit!”
Upon hearing this, many disciples were eager to try.
But at this moment, more than half of the Qingyun Academy disciples remained unmoved.
Because… the Inner Court elders like Chu Mingjie and Qin Lizhe were just standing in place, with no intention of intervening.
