Β
Inside the Elder Hall, Yang Zhen gave a lecture to Yang Kai and sounded reasonable.
Β
βElder, the Blood Warriors choosing to support me, doesnβt that demonstrate my methods and personal charm?β Yang Kai looked at him with cold eyes.
Β
βAhβ¦β Yang Zhen stuttered but quickly recovered, βIt only shows that you see things further ahead than others and are adept at using schemes!β
Β
He was naturally referring to Yang Kai choosing to use Qu Gao Yi and Ying Jiu in order to gain the respect and favour of the entire Blood Warrior Hall.
Β
At the beginning, he was also shocked by Yang Kaiβs boldness, but now it seemed like this little brat always had the means to cure Qu Gao Yi and Ying Jiu, so there was never any risk in him choosing them.
Β
However, the truth was only he could do this; none of the other Yang Family direct descendents had such ability.
Β
βIs that not proof that my methods are superior?β Yang Kaiβs face was gloomy.
Β
βWell, sort of.β Β Yang Zhen pondered a moment before admitting, βBut the Blood Warriors participating in the Inheritance War was originally because the family wanted to ensure the safety of each of you during the early stages of the conflict. Β Since ancient times, this has always been the case and has never changed. If you were really to lead a large number of Blood Warriors now to attack the rest of your brothers, it would be contrary to the familyβs original intention of allowing the Blood Warrior to participate in the Inheritance War.β
Β
βThatβs the familyβs miscalculation, what does it have to do with me?β Yang Kai sneered, refusing to back down at all.
Β
He had worked hard to gather enough power to dominate above his other brothers and was on the verge of launching a single crushing offensive to end things once and for all, but now, at this critical moment, he was recalled by the Elder Hall and had extremely detrimental conditions forced upon him. Just how could Yang Kai just roll over and accept?
Β
βIt really was the familyβs miscalculation; no one could have imagined that there would be a Yang Family junior who could gather so many Blood Warriors.β Β Yang Zhen sighed, βOver the years, the Yang Family Blood Warriors have participated in the Inheritance War many times, but never once had a situation like this occurred, youβve accomplished something all us old men admire.β
Β
βElder, please donβt beat a dead horse, this disciple canβt afford it.β Β Yang Kai coldly snorted.
Β
Yang Zhenβs brow twitched, clearly feeling some anger, but he somehow maintained his calm. The other Elders in the hall all remained expressionless but secretly they were enjoying watching Yang Zhen being embarrassed, especially since the one embarrassing him was a junior.
Β
βI have already explained our reasons. Β Most of the Blood Warriors around you must be recalled to the family.β Yang Zhen reiterated bluntly.
Β
βThis is clearly the family trying to suppress me!β Β Yang Kai shouted, arguing back, βNo matter how many Blood Warriors I managed to gather, that is something I achieved on my own, what right does the family have to recall them? Β How I make use of the Blood Warriors serving me is my freedom! Isnβt the family afraid that if they do this they will suffer the ridicule of this worldβs people? You Elders should have some awareness! Β The Inheritance War is an age old tradition, itβs not some childβs game where the rules can be bent and broken whenever you wish!β
Β
βImpudence!β Β Yang Zhen finally couldnβt hold back his temper, angrily roaring as let out a burst of True Qi, smashing a nearby table into dust, βHow dare talk back to this old master, do you want to rebel?β
Β
βSince Elder is in the wrong, why canβt this Junior point it out? Β What have I said that isnβt the truth?β Yang Kai sneered, glaring back strongly at Yang Zhen.
Β
Yang Zhen grit his teeth and grumbled a few times but eventually didnβt say anything.
Β
The other Elders in the room saw that the atmosphere was rapidly deteriorating and knew they couldnβt just sit back and watch, one of them quickly standing up and saying, βYang Kai, restrain your anger. This time, it really is the family that is in the wrong; after all, we didnβt think anyone could gain the support of so many Blood Warriors, but what Yang Zhen said is also reasonable. Β If you think about it, if you were to win the Inheritance War with just Blood Warriors, would that bring you any honour or glory? After this time, the family will more carefully consider the issue of Blood Warriors participating in the Inheritance War, but for now this is the only course of action we can take.β
Β
βI only value the results, the processβ¦ doesnβt matter!β Β Yang Kai slowly shook his head. βWhether it is glory or disgrace, thatβs a matter for the Elder Hall to care about, and as for the next Inheritance War, thatβs none of my concern. Β I gathered all these Blood Warriors not by relying on threats, coercion, or any other kind of despicable method; they serve me willingly of their own volition. In short, if the family wants to recall the Blood Warrior supporting me, I firmly refuse!β
Β
After a pause, Yang Kai solemnly added, βIf the family insists on doing this, then Iβll withdraw from this Inheritance War!β
Β
βYou dare threaten us?β Β Yang Zhenβs eyes flashed a gloomy light, the aura around him gradually becoming dangerous.
Β
βIf the Elders wish to thinks so, so be it. Β If the rules can be changed at any time to suit whatever whim you have, then the Inheritance War is nothing more than a childβs game. I have no patience to participate in such a farce.β Β Yang Kai sneered, cupped his fists, and shouted, βGood day!β
Β
βStop right there!β Yang Zhen roared.
Β
Yang Kai obviously paid this warning no mind, continuing to step towards the exit, but after only a few steps, he stopped because a tall figure with a dignified aura had suddenly appeared in front of him.
Β
Although he maintained an indifferent expression, inside Yang Kai felt as if he was facing a mountain, a single glimpse all it took to cause his breathing to be disordered.
Β
A moment later, the immense pressure disappeared.
Β
Yang Kai took a deep breath, cupped his fists and shouted, βGreetings, Great Uncle!β
Β
The person who had appeared was actually the current Yang Family Patriarch, Yang Ying Hao!
Β
Yang Ying Hao nodded gently and walked over to him, βDonβt be in such a rush, Iβll speak with you.β
Β
βGreetings, Patriarch!β Β All of the Elders in the hall stood up and bowed, although each of them was one or two generations older than Yang Ying Hao, but in the Yang Family, the Patriarch represented supreme majesty, even if it was Yang Zhen and the other Elders they still had to salute.
Β
βEveryone sit!β Β Yang Ying Hao said calmly before walking over towards Yang Zhenβs position. Β Quickly taking notice of the broken table and pile of dust nearby, he frowned and sighed, βElder Zhen, your temper hasnβt changed after so many years.β
Β
In response, Yang Zhen snorted and said, βAfter so many years, Iβm afraid I canβt change it.β
Β
One of the Elders laughed and said, βWolves wander the world eating meat, while dogs wander the world eating shit, such is the way of life.β
Β
Everyone laughed at this snide comment and the atmosphere abruptly eased.
Β
Yang Ying Hao appearing clearly indicated he knew things would become unpleasant and that he would need to speak with Yang Kai personally. Β No matter what, one would need to give the Patriarch face, so even if Yang Kai wasnβt willing, he could only remain.
Β
βLooking at this situation, you should have already informed Yang Kai, correct?β Β Yang Ying Hao asked.
Β
βEn.β Β Yang Zhen stood by his side and nodded.
Β
Looking over at Yang Kai, Yang Ying Hao said, βThis was the familyβs mistake. On behalf of the family, Great Uncle should apologize to you.β
Β
βJunior doesnβt dare accept.β Β Yang Kai quickly stated his mood gradually calming down. Β The familyβs decision to recall most of his Blood Warriors still made him upset, but facing the strength of the family and the Elder Hall, he couldnβt help feeling a deep sense of powerlessness.
Β
Regardless, he was still a member of the Yang Family and his parents were also in the Yang Family, if he continued to take a hard stance, there would no doubt be consequences, not to mention, him participating in the Inheritance War was because he still had a wish he needed to fulfill.
Β
βI know you are still unconvinced, but this is the decision of the family. It cannot be changed. Β From now on, the Inheritance War will also have a rule that every Young Lord may never have more than two Blood Warriors supporting them!β
Β
Hearing this, Yang Kaiβs brow twitched as he sneered, βThat is to say, even if I later defeat my brothers, I cannot gather the Blood Warriors currently serving them?β
Β
βIndeed!β Β Yang Ying Hao nodded. βBlood Warriors are too powerful, especially when they use their Mad Tyrant Blood Skill, you should have experienced this already!β
Β
βSo this rule was created specifically for me?β Β Yang Kai snickered, βI donβt know if I should feel honoured or not, in short, my mood right now is a complex.β
Β
βItβs not aimed just at you. Β Previously, the Elders of the family were also somewhat worried that you would gather all the Blood Warriors to your side like this, but at the time everyone generally felt it was impossible. Β However, now that youβve actually accomplished this, we have no choice but to wrong you like this.β
Β
Pausing for a moment, he continued, βNot to mention, the people from Medicine Kingβs Valley and Treasure Instrument Sect you recruited have already given you a big advantage! Β These two forces should not be involved in the Inheritance War. You should have heard that when the Medicine Kingβs Valley Alchemists joined your house, all the other Yang Family Young Lords jointly protested, but the family did not interfere because that was your own personal connection. Β But the situation is different with the Blood Warriors, they serve the Yang Family so them participating is not due to your personal connections.β
Β
Yang Kai remained silent and expressionless, but he too realized that Yang Ying Haoβs words just now cut to the heart of the issue and werenβt without reason.
Β
βThe family is fair, since we must recall most of the Blood Warriors serving you, you will naturally be compensated. Β What do you desire? Speak, as long as the family is capable of accomplishing it, we will not let you suffer.β
Β
Now that things had developed to this point, Yang Kai also knew he was powerless to resist, he simply didnβt have the qualifications or ability to confront the family, so even if venting his anger here might make him feel better it would ultimately be a thankless endeavour.
Β
βI do have a request!β Β Yang Kai held his tongue for a moment before declaring.
Β
βSay it.β Yang Ying Hao gestured.
Β
βFor my Grand Master and High Heaven Pavilionβs good name to be restored!β Β Yang Kai looked straight into Yang Ying Haoβs eyes, βHigh Heaven Pavilion is not evil, only the Demon Lord is!β
Β
Hearing this, everyone in the hall trembled lightly, a deep sense of fear flashing briefly across their eyes, even Yang Ying Hao, who had reached the Above Immortal Ascension Boundary, was no exception!
Β
Demon Lord!
Β
In the battle with the Ash-Grey Cloud Evil Land, Yang Ying Hao had also met this man once. Though they were both Above Immortal Ascension Boundary masters, this person still gave him a feeling of oppression.
Β
Facing that man, Yang Ying Hao even had an impulse to back down and surrender!
Β
He knew that this Demon Lordβs strength in the Above Immortal Ascension Boundary was above his own.
Β
βThis is your request?β Β Yang Ying Hao couldnβt help feeling a bit troubled. Β Any matter related to the Demon Lord was very important, and as the Patriarch of the Yang Family, the head of the alliance against the Ash-Grey Cloud Evil Land, to suddenly rectify the name of the Sect which had given rise to the Demon Lord was somewhat difficult.
Β
βThat is my only request!β Yang Kai said seriously.
Β
His reasons for participating in the Inheritance War were not the same as everyone elseβs. Β In truth, he didnβt care about being the Yang Familyβs Patriarch! Yang Kaiβs ultimate objective was to use his own strength to clear High Heaven Pavilionβs name; this was also his fatherβs, the Yang Family Fourth Masterβs wish.
Β
As long as Sectβs reputation was restored, Ling Tai Xu and the Elders, as well as the high-level disciples who supported them, could return to their rightful home.
Β
βIf Patriarch can promise me this, not just agreeing to the Blood Warriors supporting me being recalled, I can even quit the Inheritance War right now!β Yang Kai firmly said.
Β
Hearing this, everyone in the hall was shocked, each of them staring at the youth in front of them with great surprise.
