Clan Leader: My strength equals to that of the entire clan

As if not hearing the words of the two men, Ye Xiaoxiao walked straight to Emperor Yu and knelt down on her knees.

“Ye Xiaoxiao is grateful for the trust of the Royal Grandpa.

Xiao Xiao will not fail everyone’s expectations and will lead Dayu Country to be better.”

Ye Xiaoxiao knew that no matter what, she needed to accept the responsibility first.

“Very well, as long as you are willing, you will be the next Emperor Yu.” Emperor Yu rose to his feet and firmly affirmed.

At this time, the expression on the faces of Lord Yuanzhou and Lord Wen Cheng turned sour.

They both realised that persuading Emperor Yu to change his mind on this day was impossible.

However, the idea of giving up the position of Emperor Yu was also out of the question.

“Royal Grandpa, I think you’re getting confused. Why don’t you go rest first?”

“Indeed, Royal Grandpa. Perhaps you should take some time to think before making a decision.”

Thus, the two men revealed their true intentions.

“You both think I am incapable of taking action, don’t you?”

Emperor Yu was thoroughly enraged. He lifted his palm and struck at the two men.

Spiritual Energy exploded all at once, aiming an immense pressure towards them.

Just as it seemed the two would meet their violent end, two shadows appeared before them in a flash.

With just a slight lift of their hands, Emperor Yu’s attack disappeared into thin air.

The aura of two cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage also surged completely.

“Soul Devouring Ancestor, Old Ancestor of White Horse Association.

Unexpectedly, the ones standing behind these two are from your Soul

Devouring Sect and the White Horse Association.”

This Soul Devouring Sect is no different than the one from Guanghe Prefecture.

However, it is surprising that it has broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage.

Although it appears that it just made the breakthrough, Nascent Soul Stage is Nascent Soul Stage. It is at a completely different level compared to Core Formation Stage.

The other one is White Horse Association, which is among the top Sects within Dayu country.

“Emperor Yu, we may not have been your equal in the past, but now, do you still have the power to fight?”

The Old Ancestor of the White Horse Association looked at Emperor Yu and said lightly.

Although he is already over 1500 years old, compared to Emperor Yu, he is relatively young.

The figure of Soul Devouring Ancestor is even more arrogant. His body exudes bits of living souls from time to time, leaving those who sees it to feel dread.

“Emperor Yu, it’s wise to hand over the position to Lord Wen Cheng today.

Dayu Country would still be the Dayu Country of Ye Family. Otherwise, hmm!”

Looking at the two cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage, Emperor Yu felt a sense of helplessness.

“Have you both ever considered, taking their help to seize the throne is tantamount to inviting a wolf into your house?”

In response to Emperor Yu’s remarks, Lord Wen Cheng showed disdain: “In exchange for the throne of Emperor Yu, I think sacrificing the people of the two prefectures is very worth it!”

The people of two prefectures?

Emperor Yu’s face turned red instantly. He had fought all his life for Dayu Country, only managing to claim ten prefectures.

Now, two of his prefectures are casually given away by Lord Wen Cheng. How could Emperor Yu accept this?

“Alright, alright, alright. Today I will see who can take a single blade of grass or a tree from my Dayu country.”

Emperor Yu straightened up his body, revealing the cultivation level of a mid-stage Nascent Soul.

Although the Old Ancestor of the White Horse Association and the Soul Devouring Ancestor stated that Emperor Yu was no longer capable, when he really took action, their eyes still reflected the gravity of the situation.

The three figures, rushed to the sky.

Should a great battle between Nascent Soul Stage cultivators occur within the empire, all the officials, both civil and military, would perish.

As the Nascent Soul cultivators were fighting, Lord Wen Cheng and Lord Yuanzhou aimed their sinister intent at Ye Xiaoxiao.

“Do you truly believe that you, a country bumpkin, can win the throne just because the Royal Grandpa favours you? Preposterous!”

Ye Xiaoxiao coldly looked at the two of them: “Why bother wasting words, let’s fight!”

A high-ranking magical flying sword appeared in Ye Xiaoxiao’s hand.

Sword Technique, Sky Phoenix Sword.

The fight, exploded instantly.

Not long after, Ye Xiaoxiao, who was in the midst of battle, suddenly stiffened, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell from the sky.

Ye Xiaoxiao was initially injured and now her injury has recurred.

Ye Lu quickly caught Ye Xiaoxiao, watching the two men warily.

At this moment, another figure fell from the sky.

The figure of Emperor Yu struggled to crawl up from the ground.

His past demeanor was long gone, disheveled, yet his kingly majesty remained. The White Horse Ancestor and the Soul Devouring Ancestor also descended, their faces at ease.

They felt they had bet correctly. Emperor Yu was no longer the Emperor Yu of the past.

Now, he was just a feeble old man.

Ye Xiaoxiao staggered to her feet and supported Emperor Yu.

Emperor Yu showed a bitter smile; he never thought that in the twilight of his life, it would be a successor – who was not even his own granddaughter – who cared for him in the end.

“Xiao Xiao, Royal Grandpa should not have dragged you into this maelstrom.” Emperor Yu said desolately.

“Royal Grandpa, it’s my fault for being useless.”

Ye Xiaoxiao would never blame her failures on others.

If there was anyone to blame, it was her own lack of ability.

Ye Xiaoxiao wanted to laugh. If only she had a strong background.

In that case, she could have protected Royal Grandpa and her grandmother.

Today, it seemed none of them would escape.

“Ye Xiaoxiao, you’re just a country bumpkin from Guanghe Prefecture, dreaming of becoming Emperor Yu. You’re delusional!”

Lord Yuanzhou laughed arrogantly. To the unknowing, they might think he was already Emperor Yu!

Upon hearing Lord Yuanzhou’s words, the Soul Devouring Ancestor became interested.

“So, you’re from the Ye family of Guanghe Prefecture? Your family ran away. But you can’t escape this time.

I’ll take this girl.”

Saying this, the Soul Devouring Ancestor unleashed countless spirits that lunged towards Ye Xiaoxiao.

Ye Lu stood in front of Ye Xiaoxiao and detonated the Golden Core within her.

“Xiao Xiao, run!” she said.

With her last bit of strength, she flung Ye Xiaoxiao away.

“Running? If you run, I will throw these people’s souls into the Ten Thousand Ghost Pit. Can you really bear to let them suffer such agony?”

The Soul Devouring Ancestor held a barely conscious Ye Lu, unafraid that Ye Xiaoxiao would run.

Ye Xiaoxiao stopped and her face turned pained.

“Brother, where are you?”

Ye Xiaoxiao mumbled to herself, closed her eyes and seemed to have given in. Just at this moment, dozens of Flying Boats appeared in the sky above the Imperial City.

“Who says the Ye family is without people, who says Ye Xiaoxiao has no backing.”

The voice resounded throughout the city as four Nascent Soul Stage auras hurtled towards the Imperial City.

Ye Fan finally arrived.

In an instant, Ye Jintian tore through space to arrive by Ye Xiaoxiao’s side, supporting her.

“Aunt, are you okay?”

Ye Jintian hurriedly took out a bunch of elixirs from his bag and stuffed them into Ye Xiaoxiao’s mouth.

This scene dumbfounded Lord Yuanzhou and others.

Fourth grade elixirs, ten plus of them. The kind of elixirs they dared not even dream about, were just casually stuffed into Ye Xiaoxiao’s mouth.

Even the Soul Devouring Ancestor and White Horse Ancestor were a bit shocked.

Leaving everything else aside, just this financial power was intimidating.

Did they think the fourth grade elixirs were free?

“So, you are the one bullying my Ye family? Slap him!”

Whap!

Ye Jinhai took action, quick as a flash!

Accompanied by a crisp sound, the Soul Devouring Ancestor was sent flying!

The entire scene fell into dead silence!
