Pill Sovereign Reborn

He never expected the usually-silent spineless coward to actually be so smooth-tongued now.    

In the face of Ye Lan's single sound response, Ye Fei could not think of any way to refute him.    

"It seems that you have developed quite a slick tongue since the last time we met. However, no matter how much you quibble today, you will never be able to escape the punishment of the Ye Family!"    

After a while, Ye Fei said with a deep voice.    

As a direct descendant of the Ye Family, he naturally possessed outstanding talent.    

Originally, many higher-ups of the Ye Family wanted to support him as the next patriarch of the family.    

However, when Ye Fei came back from visiting his grandfather, he found out from his father that Ye Lan was no longer the same trash as before. In fact, he had become an expert who stood at the peak seventh stage of the Body Tempering Realm.    

As such, many of the higher-ups of the Ye Family began to waver in their resolve to support him, Ye Fei, as the next patriarch of the family.    

In order to regain his initial firm position at the next head of the Ye Family, Ye Fei had no choice but to rack his brains to get rid of Ye Lan as soon as possible.    

That was the main reason why she suddenly showed up with his father today to interrogate Ye Lan and try to convict him.    

No matter what Ye Lan said, Ye Fei would never let him go so easily.    

Even if Ye Xuan and the other disciples really weren't actually killed by Ye Lan, he would nevertheless attempt to make Ye Lan bear the crime of murdering the members of the same family.    

"You dare indict my son without any solid proof?"    

At that moment, an intelligible voice sounded from outside the courtyard. Ye Zhenqun, along with many of the high-ranking members of the Ye Family, walked over with ashen expressions. They stood in front of Ye Lan and faced off against the scheming pair of father and son.    

"Elder Brothers, it's not like we have no solid proof. In fact, there are quite a few disciples who personally saw Ye Lan enter Sky Peak Valley together with Ye Tao and the other dead disciples."    

"While Ye Tao and the other were discovered dead in Sky Peak Valley, Ye Lan was actually still alive and well?"    

Ye Zhenfeng said expressionlessly.    

"Let's see they did indeed see my son entering Sky Peak Valley with Ye Tao and the others. However, did anyone witness my son kill them with their very own eyes?"    

Ye Zhenqun asked.    

With that single sentence, the opposing side who supported Ye Zhenfeng and his son were rendered speechless.    

All of them revealed deep frowns.    

The Ye Family disciples had indeed only seen them enter Sky Peak Valley together. On the other hand, they did not witness Ye Lan kill them inside the valley itself.    

Thus, it would be unfair for him to be accused of the crime in such a rash manner!    

"Elder Brother, are you deliberately being biased?"    

Ye Zhenfeng asked with an unwilling expression.    

"Me... being biased? Am I not judging the right and wrong of this matter on the basis of facts?"    

Ye Zhenqun replied.    

"Facts? What are these facts that you're speaking of?"    

Ye Zhenfeng asked.    

"Guards, bring the corpses over!"    

At that moment, Ye Zhenqun exclaimed.    

Immediately after, the Ye Family guards brought over the stretchers that were carrying the corpses of Ye Xuan and the others one after another.    

"Why don't you take a closer look at their wounds? The evidence here clearly shows that they were ripped to shreds by the claws of the Green Demonic Wolves!"    

Ye Zhenqun ordered his men to remove the white cloth and reveal the corpses of Ye Xuan and the other Ye Family disciples.    

When the corpses were revealed, the opposing side of the Ye Family could clearly see the miserable state of the corpses as they were full of bite marks and scratches, assumed to be done by the Green Demonic Wolves.    

With that, the entire scene turned silent. Anyone with eyes could naturally see that the injuries on the corpses of Ye Xuan and the other disciples were caused by the fangs and claws of the Green Demonic Wolves.    

"So what if Ye Xuan and the others died in the hands of the Green Demonic Wolf? That must also be the work of Ye Lan!"    

Ye Fei snapped out of his daze and said hastily.    

He was determined to convict Ye Lan with this crime.    

"My dear nephew, although you may have great martial talent, your knowledge and common sense is surely lacking in many ways!"    

Ye Zhenqun glanced at Ye Fei and said with a fake smile.    

"What? Did I say something wrong just now?"    

Hearing this, a cold glint flashed in the depths of Ye Fei's eyes as he fumed in rising anger.    

Ye Zhenqun actually dared to mock him and even accused him of lacking common sense? Wasn't that old man simply calling him an idiot?    

"Why don't you ask your father then? He will give you a definite answer."    

Ye Zhenqun replied in a lazy manner. He just didn't see the need to explain such simple things to Ye Fei.    

With that, Ye Fei shifted his gaze towards his father.    

"The Green Demonic Wolves is a type of Demonic Beast that usually hunts in packs of few or, at most, a dozen."    

"Furthermore, each one of them has the strength equivalent to that of cultivators in the ninth stage of the Body Tempering Realm. If they were to attack together, any cultivators below the Qi Gathering Realm would have no choice but to retreat."    

Ye Zhenfeng said in a deep voice.    

At this moment, his brows were already knit together.    

Hearing that, Ye Fei instantly understood.    

His father was hinting that Ye Lan's current abilities, it would be impossible for him to lure a group of Green Demonic Wolves to surround and kill Ye Xuan and the others.    

This meant that the deaths of Ye Xuan and the others disciples had absolutely nothing to do with Ye Lan.    

Ye Fei was extremely unwilling to accept this key point.    

However, it certainly was a pity that no one present knew that Ye Lan had indeed lured to the Green Demonic Wolves over to slaughter Ye Xuan and the other disciples.    

This matter could only be known by Ye Lan, and he would obviously never speak of the truth. Otherwise, the pair of scheming father and son would definitely take the opportunity to punish him.    

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you still need me to say anything more?"    

Ye Zhenqun looked at Ye Zhenfeng and the other higher-ups of the Ye Family before saying with a calm expression.    

The group of higher-ups could not saying anything in reponse and opted to remain silent.    

"Since the death of Ye Xuan and the others has nothing to do with Ye Lan, then we don't have a reason to remain here any longer."    

After a long time, Ye Zhenfeng said in a deep voice.    

With that, he led Ye Fei and the other higher-ups away from Ye Lan's courtyard.    

"Reporting to Patriarch, Supervisor Fang of the Taoist Artifacts Hall has brought his men over to pay a visit!"    

At this time, one of the Ye Family guards appeared in front of Ye Zhenqun, knelt on the ground, and siad respectfully.    

Hearing the report from the Ye Family's guard...    

Ye Zhenqun revealed a slight frown as he did not understand why the people from the Taoist Artifacts Hall would suddenly pay their family a visit all of a sudden.    

Could it be that they came here to avenge their Taoist Artifacts Hall disciple, Zhou Nan?    

With that in mind, the serious look on Ye Zhenqun's face became even more pronounced.    

"Where are the people from Taoist Artifacts Hall now?"    

Ye Zhenqun asked.    

"They're currently waiting in the Great Hall."    

The Ye Family guard answered truthfully.    

Hearing that, Ye Zhenqun did not say anymore as he immediately rushed towards the Great Hall of the Ye Family with a few other higher-ups.    

He wanted to find out if the people of the Taoist Artifacts Hall had really come to their territory to get revenge for their disciple, Zhou Nan.    

"Father, this time, Ye Lan will definitely be rebuked by the people from the Taoist Artifacts Hall!"    

In the distance, Ye Fei could not help but feel a tinge of joy when he heard that people from the Taoist Artifacts Hall had come over to pay a visit.    

After all, he knew that Ye Lan had injured one of the Taoist Artifacts Hall disciples, Zhou Nan, a while ago.    

Seeing how Supervisor Fang and his other men from the Taoist Artifacts Hall suddenly came to pay a visit, Ye Fei assumed that they must be here to interrogate Ya Lan and get revenge for Zhou Nan.    

"What a good opportunity. Although we may have failed to convict Ye Lan today, let's see just how the people of the Taoist Artifacts Hall will deal with him."    

"Who knows? We might even be able to find a reason to expel Ye Lan from the family!"    

Upon receiving information about how Supervisor Fang from the Taoist Artifacts Hall had led his men over for a visit, Ye Zhenfeng was struck with great surprise, followed by a great sense of elation.    

He also knew that Ye Lan had injured the disciple of Taoist Artifacts Hall, Zhou Nan.    

With how protective the Taoist Artifacts Hall usually was when it came to their disciples, they would definitely not back down easily and would instead ruthlessly criticize Ye Lan for his violent acts.    

This was exactly what Ye Zhenfeng wanted to see.    

Immediately after, Ye Zhenfeng led Ye Fei and the other higher-ups that sided with him and rushed towards the Great Hall, wanting to see how Ye Lan would make a fool of himself.    

In the Great Hall of the Ye Family.    

At this time, an old man dressed in apparel of the Taoist Artifacts Hall was seated in the middle of the grandiose hall while sipping the fragrant tea that one of the servants of the Ye Family had sent over.    

Behind him stood a few experts of the Taoist Artifacts Hall in silence.    

Each of them wore solemn expressions and possessed a vigorous aura that lingered around their bodies — all of them were experts of the Qi Gathering Realm.    

As for the old man, he was even more extraordinary. For with a single raise of his hand or foot, he emitted the demeanor of a powerful expert. Anyone who came across him could not help but prostrate themselves before him.    

"Elder Fang, please forgive me for not personally coming over to welcome you!"    

Ye Zhenqun's voice resounded through the Great Hall as he walked in with the other higher-ups of the Ye Family.    

Ye Lan and Ye Yu were silently following them from behind.    

Following them were Ye Zhenfeng and the other higher-ups who sided with him.    

As Ye Zhenqun's gaze swept across the room and fell on the elder who was sitting quietly while sipping his tea, Ye Zhenqun clasped his hands and acted in an extremely respectful manner.    

After all, the old man sitting in front of him was the main supervisor of the Taoist Artifacts Hall, Fang Ruyu.    

In the midst of Lucid Aqua Town existed a few domineering experts whose cultivation had already reached the Core Formation Realm. Their strength was far above that of the other Qi Gathering Experts in town, including Ye Zhenqun.    

In the entire Lucid Aqua Town, there had only ever been four of these powerful existences.    

One of them was Fang Ruyu while the other was the mysterious owner of the Myriad Medicines Pavilion.    

The final two were among the ancestors of the Qin and Ye Family.
