462: Chapter 143: Establishment of the Eastern Dragon Nation (Part 2)_1 462: Chapter 143: Establishment of the Eastern Dragon Nation (Part 2)_1 From Wei Ming’s perspective, he was not wrong in his actions.
The Eastern Dragon Empire had just been declared, urgently needing Qin City as its base, he had to make sure the Eastern Dragon Empire stabilized quickly; it was to hold a grand founding ceremony, then to plan and expand.
He didn’t regard Ye Yinzhu’s resistance.
Ye Li glanced at Lan Ruxue standing next to Wei Ming.
Lan Ruxue didn’t look at him, only frowning as if deep in thought.
Seeing his wife’s reaction, a fury grew inside Ye Li, and he thought angrily, “Are you not even going to help your own grandson?
Do you also believe that our grandson has fabricated lies just because he can’t let go of Qin City?”
In his anger, Ye Li made a shocking decision, “Who said Yin Zhu has no right to speak?
Now, in front of you three Supreme Elders.
I, Zhu Sect Master Ye Li, officially announce that I am passing on my position as Zhu Sect Master to my grandson Ye Yinzhu.
From this moment on, he can pletely represent our Zhu Sect in making all decisions.”
“What?” More than a dozen gasps of surprise sounded almost simultaneously.
None of the high-ranking officials of the Eastern Dragon who were present could have imagined that Ye Li would make such a decision for his grandson at this moment.
The three Supreme Elders almost simultaneously rose from their seats.
The position of the eight Sect Masters of the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans was extremely important.
Who could have thought that Ye Li would pass on the Sect Master position at such a moment?
“Grandfather, you…” Ye Yinzhu was equally surprised, looking at his grandfather, momentarily speechless.
A bit of kindness shone through Ye Li’s domineering gaze, he patted Ye Yinzhu’s shoulder, “Silly boy, you are my only grandson.
Your father lacks the domineering aura of a leader, but your grandfather sees it in you.
The position of Zhu Sect Master will eventually be yours anyway, so what’s the difference if it’s earlier?
I have made up my mind and will not change it.
Each of the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans is a self-contained system; even the Supreme Elders cannot interfere with the internal affairs of our Zhu Sect.”
“Ye Li, don’t be impulsive.” Mei Qing, the Supreme Elder of Mei Clan who had stayed silent all the way, said anxiously, winking at Ye Li.
But Ye Li seemed to ignore her; his gaze was only on his grandson.
“Ye Li, your hasty decision will ruin the Zhu Sect.” The anger in Wei Ming’s eyes became extremely evident.
As a Supreme Elder, his emotions had not been this agitated for a very long time.
Ye Li answered indifferently, “I’ve said it before, once I make a decision, I’ll never regret it.
How does the elder know my decision is hasty?
Starting now, all two thousand disciples of our Zhu Sect are under Ye Yinzhu’s unified mand.
I will step back.”
Lan Ruxue looked at Ye Li, her eyes revealing a strange light.
For some reason, she felt a clear sense of loneliness from Ye Li at this moment.
Facing the other seven Sect Masters and three Supreme Elders, he and Qin Shang seemed so isolated.
Although they had been arguing for twenty years and opposing each other for the same length of time, he was her husband after all!
Taking a deep breath, Lan Ruxue said in a cold tone, “Ye Li, once you’ve made a decision, you won’t be able to change it.
Although we Supreme Elders have no right to determine the inheritance of the Sect Masters, you are no longer the Zhu Sect Master now, so I do have the right to expel you from here.”
Ye Li smiled faintly, “If I have to leave, I’ll leave.
Twenty years ago, I didn’t value attending these meetings with you anyway.” Saying this, he turned and started to walk out.
From the look of it, Lan Ruxue seemed to be expelling Ye Li, but by doing so, she had also acknowledged Ye Yinzhu’s succession to the position of Zhu Sect Master, affirming his identity.
“Wait a minute, I disagree.
Since it’s an internal matter of Zhu Sect, why not ask me?”
A powerful voice came from outside, closely followed by a tall figure stepping quickly into the courtyard.
This man wore a green-blue robe adorned with emerald bamboo.
He appeared to be in his sixties but moved with the precision and power of a dragon and tiger.
His imposing eyes twinkled, and his whole body exuded an awe-inspiring aura.
His face showed at least seven points of resemblance to Ye Li, but it was full of anger.
“Second Uncle.” Seeing this man, Ye Zhong and Mei Ying were the first to salute him.
Ye Li, however, frowned deeply.
The newer ignored Ye Zhong and his wife and walked straight up to Ye Li, “Big brother, don’t mess around.
How can we entrust the future of our Zhu Sect to the third generation?
You have been away from Zhu Sect for so many years.
I have been able to help you guard the Zhu Sect, always acknowledging your position as Zhu Sect Master.
But now, I can’t let you mess around any more.
Big brother, you can’t ruin the future of our Zhu Sect just because of your impulse!”
Ye Li glared at his younger brother in front of him, “I’ve already said it, once I make a decision, I won’t change it.
Ye Tian, are you also going to defy my orders?”
“No, big brother, I’m not defying your orders.
But, I absolutely disagree with this.”
Ye Li pushed his younger brother aside, “Your opposition is useless, I’ve already made up my mind.
Yin Zhu is now the Sect Master of the Zhu Sect.
Elder Lan is already expelling me, don’t stand in my way.”
“Brother–” Ye Tian roared.
Ye Li paused in his steps, “What else is there?”
Ye Tian took a deep breath, looking at Ye Li’s side profile, “Brother, since you’re hell-bent on your decision, I have no choice but to offend you.
According to the rules of the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans, the Sect Master must be the strongest of the clan, possessing the greatest martial power.
This is to ensure the disciples’ faith in him.
Since you’ve decided to step down from the position of Sect Master.
Then, the remaining disciples have the right to challenge the new Sect Master.
For the future of the Zhu Sect, I, Ye Tian of the Zhu Sect, challenge the new Sect Master.
If he can defeat me, not only will I acknowledge him as Sect Master, but I will also lend him my full support.
Otherwise, I ask you to revoke your decision and continue to retain the position of Sect Master.
Even if you want to pass it on to Ye Yinzhu, you should wait until he truly possesses such strength.”
Ye Li swiftly turned around, glaring at his brother, “Ye Tian, are you insisting on opposing me?”
Ye Tian didn’t back down, “Brother, I’m not opposing you, I’m doing this for the Zhu Sect.
Our Zhu Sect is one of the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans, I don’t want to see the Zhu Sect being abandoned due to your impetuosity.
I heard everything you all said earlier.
There are quite a few armies in Qin City now, and if Yin Zhu insists on not giving up his ruling position, there will be a massacre here.
Do you really want to see this happening?”
“You…” Although Ye Li was furious, he had to admit that his younger brother, who had helped him guard the Zhu Sect for twenty years, was not wrong.
For twenty years, due to his unhappy marriage with Lan Ruxue, he had left the Zhu Sect.
Yet, his brother had always been helping him manage the Zhu Sect without any plaints, maintaining the prestige of the Zhu Sect.
Deep down, he was very grateful to his brother.
His emotions cooled slightly at this point, and he knew he had acted rashly, but he just couldn’t swallow his pride in front of Supreme Elder Wei Ming and his wife.
“Alright, I accept your challenge.” As Ye Li was caught in a dilemma, Ye Yinzhu’s voice rang out among the crowd.
Both Ye Li and Ye Tian turned their gaze to Ye Yinzhu, Ye Li’s brows furrowed slightly, while Ye Tian looked somewhat surprised.
At this moment, Ye Yinzhu had metaphorically bee the center of the scene.
His white magic robe, handsome face, noble and elegant temperament, and his extraordinary radiating aura were all astonishing.
More importantly, a hint of formidable dominance was revealed in his eyes.
The concealed murderous intent and his unwavering gaze were as unshakeable as ancient ice.
Within this short period of time, Ye Yinzhu had made up his mind.
Qin City must not be surrendered.
Of course, he was reluctant to part with Qin City, but this was not the most important reason.
More importantly, he could not stand idly by and watch the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans head towards extinction, let alone witness the city he had painstakingly built being destroyed by the Eight Clans.
The Elves, Dwarves, Goblin Tribe, Behemoth Tribe were all painstakingly invited to Qin City.
How would they survive if the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans took control of the city?
Zi was right about what he told Anya, when it was time to make a decision, Ye Yinzhu wouldn’t hesitate.
And once he had truly decided how to act, he would not change his mind.
In this regard, he and his grandfather, Ye Li, had many similarities.
“Yin Zhu, don’t be impudent.
Pay your respects to your second grandfather.” Ye Li said sternly.
He knew very well the extent of his brother’s abilities.
Ye Yinzhu stepped forward and bowed respectfully, “Greetings, Second Grandfather.”
Ye Tian nodded, “Yin Zhu, I’ve heard about all your achievements.
You are an excellent young man and the future of our Zhu Sect.
But you’re still too young.
Your second grandfather is not against you being the Sect Master of the Zhu Sect, but it’s not the right time.
The Eastern Dragon Empire has been established and as a part of it, we must strive for its development.
I hope you understand your second grandfather’s predicament.”
Ye Yinzhu sighed lightly, “Second Grandfather, you have your own dilemma, just as I have mine.
Since Grandfather has decided to pass on the position of Zhu Sect Master to me, then, I will not back down.
Second Grandfather, I accept your challenge.
If I lose, I will not only give up the position of Zhu Sect Master but also cede Qin City and leave here forever with my panions.
But if I win, then I will take on the position of Zhu Sect Master.”
Ye Tian, somewhat dazed, looked at Ye Yinzhu.
He hadn’t expected Ye Yinzhu to accept the challenge directly.
In his view, issuing the challenge was merely a formality.
As someone with a gentler temperament than Ye Li and a strong emphasis on family bonds, he found himself in a difficult position as he looked at his elder brother’s only grandchild.
“Elder Ye, you’re not going back on your word, are you?
As a man, once a word is said, it’s like spilled water – you can’t take it back.” The Second Elder of the Chrysanthemum Clan, Wei Tingfeng, mocked from the side.
