461: Chapter 143 Eastern Dragon Establishing a Nation (Part 2)_1 461: Chapter 143 Eastern Dragon Establishing a Nation (Part 2)_1 The person who spoke before was seated third from the left, looking to be in his sixties, tall and corpulent with very distinct wrinkles on his face, but his eyes were surprisingly small.
His gaze was shifty, sparkling with a faint, chilling light.
When he saw Ye Li and Qin Shang, a hint of a cold sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he kept silent thereafter.
“Zither Sect Master and Chief Ye have returned.
And who is this child?” At the head of the table, an elder in a yellow robe focused his attention on Ye Yinzhu.
From his voice, Ye Yinzhu discerned that this was the second person who had spoken earlier.
Although the elder was quite old, he exuded vitality and even just sitting there, he gave off an extraordinary presence.
His black eyes showed no hint of dullness.
With Zi energy contained within, it was clear his strength was formidable.
Qin Shang clasped his hands in greeting, “Greetings, Supreme Elder.
This is my disciple, also Ye Li’s grandson, Ye Yinzhu, who is also the master of Qin City.”
“That’s not quite right, Zither Sect Master.
You seem to have misspoken.
Qin City should belong to our Eastern Dragon Empire; we are the true masters here.
I think the name Qin City should also be changed,” interjected the fat man on the left, even before the Supreme Elder could speak.
Obviously, his relationship with Qin Shang and Ye Li was not good.
Ye Li’s icy gaze swept over him.
“Wei Tingfeng, what are you worth?
Are you the Chrysanthemum Clan Master?
We are speaking with the Supreme Elder, do you have the right to interject?
Don’t let me hear your annoying tone again, or else, don’t blame me for being impolite.” Although he was not young, Ye Li’s fiery temper hadn’t changed at all.
“You…” Enraged, Wei Tingfeng stood up abruptly, but when he saw the faint Zi light emitting from Ye Li, his plexion shifted.
He turned to the Supreme Elder and said, “Supreme Elder, Ye Li is being unreasonable right in front of you, clearly not putting you in his eyes.
Does he want to cause infighting just as the empire has been established?”
The Supreme Elder’s brows furrowed.
“Enough, Wei Tingfeng, quiet down.
Otherwise, leave.
However, Chief Ye, since the Chrysanthemum Clan Master Wei Lingfeng isn’t here and Wei Tingfeng is temporarily in charge of the Chrysanthemum Clan, please watch your language as well.”
Ye Li huffed, apparently not too fond of the Supreme Elder.
“Are you Ye Yinzhu?” a somewhat cold yet peculiar voice sounded from beside the Supreme Elder.
It was an elderly woman whose age seemed parable to Ye Li’s and who was dressed in a spotless water-blue robe.
Her initially cold eyes softened as they rested on Ye Yinzhu.
Ye Zhong nudged Ye Yinzhu from behind and whispered, “Call her Grandmother.”
Ye Yinzhu had never met his grandmother.
Whenever he asked Ye Li about her, his grandfather would just sigh and refuse to answer.
Now, prompted by his father’s reminder, he quickly realized the identity of the elderly woman before him.
The weight in his heart lessened somewhat as affection surged, and he quickly stepped forward, kneeling before the old woman, “Grandmother, your grandson bows to you.” As he spoke, he kowtowed three times on the ground before her.
“Good, good, dear grandson, get up,” the elderly woman helped Ye Yinzhu to his feet, and it was then that Ye Yinzhu noticed his grandmother was very tall, barely shorter than his grandfather.
The elderly woman brushed away the dust from Ye Yinzhu’s forehead, her gaze turning tender.
Taking Ye Yinzhu’s hand, she said, “e sit beside Grandma.”
Ye Li glanced over, showing a trace of embarrassment, but he did not stop Ye Yinzhu from sitting next to the elderly woman.
Ye Zhong’s whispered message reached Ye Yinzhu’s ears again, “There’s been a misunderstanding between your grandfather and grandmother, and it’s been many years.
If you have the chance, you should help your grandfather.
Pay attention— the Supreme Elder from Chrysanthemum Clan beside her is one of the highest-ranking among the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans, and his name is Wei Ming.
The person who angered your grandfather earlier is called Wei Tingfeng, the only brother of the Chrysanthemum Clan Master.
Your grandmother is also one of the three Supreme Elders, originally from the Lan Clan, named Lan Ruxue, and she is the elder sister of the current Lan Clan Master.
The other person next to Supreme Elder Wei Ming is the Supreme Elder Mei Qing from the Mei Clan, whose seniority is equivalent to Wei Ming and even higher than your grandmother.
He is your mother’s biological grandfather.
As for the others, with the exception of the Chrysanthemum and Mei Clan Masters who are not present, all the high-ranking officials of our Eastern Dragon Empire are here.
Sitting next to your grandmother is the Lan Clan Master Lanqing, and the three opposite are Chess Sect Leader Nie Ping, Hua Sect Leader Wu Dao, and Shu Sect Leader Wang Xi.
Remember them well.”
The Supreme Elder from Chrysanthemum Clan, Wei Ming, spoke up, “Chief Ye, Zither Sect Master, did you rush back so hurriedly just to introduce Ye Yinzhu to us?”
Qin Shang replied gravely, “No, we have important matters to discuss with everyone.
Yinzhu has just returned from Faran with the latest news.”
“Oh?” Interest sparkled in Supreme Elder Wei Ming’s eyes, and the others also showed a desire to listen.
“What about Faran?”
Qin Shang recounted in a heavy tone everything Ye Yinzhu had told him and Ye Li.
Hearing his words, the leading figures of the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans were visibly moved, and for a moment, the atmosphere in the entire courtyard seemed to condense, as if it could drip water.
Elder Wei Ming seemed to hold the highest status, and looking at Qin Shang, he spoke in a deep voice, “Zither Sect Master, are you telling us that our decision to re-establish the Eastern Dragon Empire was a mistake?”
Before Qin Shang could even open his mouth, Ye Li interjected, “It’s already quite clear.
With Faran’s strength being this overwhelming, our establishing of an empire now is simply bringing humiliation upon ourselves, and it might even bring a catastrophic blow to us, the Eastern Dragon, destroying the accumulation of thousands of years in an instant.”
“Silence!” Elder Wei Ming shouted in anger, his white hair moving without wind, “Ye Li, remember your place.
The establishment of the Eastern Dragon Empire is the unanimous decision made by the three Supreme Elders together with the masters of the Eight Sects.
We don’t need your doubts.”
Ye Li wasn’t at all deterred by Elder Wei Ming’s anger, “Could it be that the decision of a Supreme Elder can never be wrong?”
Chrysanthemum Clan’s Wei Tingfeng once again spoke up, “Of course, it cannot be wrong.
Chief Ye, what proof do you have that everything your grandson has said is true?
We can’t rule out that he’s fabricated this tale because he couldn’t bear to contribute Qin City to the Empire.”
“You…” The rage in Ye Li finally reached its peak, and with a raise of his hand, he struck at Wei Tingfeng.
A pale-purple light transformed into a formidable douqi fluctuation, and in his anger, this Zhu Sect Master did not hold back at all.
“Audacious.” Elder Wei Ming shouted deeply, and without seeing him make a move, a wave of his right hand summoned a deep purple light which turned into a barrier in front of Wei Tingfeng.
Amidst a thunderous explosion, purple light soared into the sky, and the air was filled with a torrent of sharp fluctuations.
Standing in place, Ye Li staggered three steps back before steadying himself, his face flushed with a surge of blood, which he struggled to calm down.
“It is you who are audacious.” Ye Yinzhu, who had originally been sitting by Lan Ruxue’s side, flashed to his grandfather’s side in an instant, supporting Ye Li.
With his insight, he naturally judged that his grandfather’s strength was around Second Rank Zi to Third Rank Zi, whereas that Supreme Elder Wei Ming was clearly above the Seventh Rank Zi.
Ye Yinzhu’s gaze instantly turned cold.
Seeing his grandfather at a disadvantage, he didn’t care who the other party was.
A powerful aura of murderous intent burst forth, and his dark pupils, like two black gemstones, radiated formidable spiritual fluctuations, directly piercing into the eyes of Supreme Elder Wei Ming.
“Please remember, this is Qin City.
You are merely guests of Qin City for now.
This is my place, and Elder Wei Ming, you attacked my grandfather in my place.
Please give me an explanation.”
Elder Wei Ming was stunned, as were all the chiefs of the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans around him, no one had expected that Ye Yinzhu would stand up at this time.
In terms of status within the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans, anyone present had a higher generation than Ye Yinzhu.
Apart from Ye Yinzhu’s parents, all the others were at least two generations his senior.
Yet now, he confronted the most authoritative Supreme Elder of the Eight Clans, the Eastern Dragon Empire, even showing a hint of threat, which surprised everyone present.
“Yinzhu, you mustn’t.” Mei Ying’s voice sounded in Ye Yinzhu’s ear.
Ye Yinzhu did not turn around, feeling everyone’s gaze on him, he continued staring at Elder Wei Ming across from him.
He had met all kinds of powerful people, and he had never retreated even when facing the Master of Faran’s Seventh Tower.
After enduring many battles through blood and fire, he was no longer the naive youth he once was, but the true Lord of Qin City.
“Please give me an explanation, Elder Wei Ming,” Ye Yinzhu repeated his words.
“Are you threatening me?” the Supreme Elder Wei Ming said coldly.
Ye Yinzhu proudly said, “What if I am?”
Those words sent shockwaves through the crowd, and even Ye Li at Ye Yinzhu’s side couldn’t help but be momentarily taken aback, instinctively touching his grandson.
Although he felt exhilarated inside, he also knew that by offending a Supreme Elder like this, Ye Yinzhu was being unwise.
Cold light flickered in Elder Wei Ming’s eyes, “It seems that what Tingfeng said is true; you indeed can’t part with the position of Lord of Qin City.
Ye Yinzhu, do not forget, you were born into the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans.
Everyone here is your senior.
The blood of the Eastern Dragon flows in your veins.
For Ruxue’s sake, I will not hold this against you.
Here, in front of so many elders, you have no right to speak.
Ye Li, take your grandson and leave.
From now on, the Eastern Dragon Empire will officially take over Qin City.
Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy.” (To be continued, if you want to know what happens next, please visit .
