Confrontation

"Tianming, why do you think Old Ancestor suddenly called us over?"

Yīn Miàomiào asked Yè Tiānmíng, feeling a bit uneasy.

Yè Tiānmíng smiled slightly, took Yīn Miàomiào's small hand, and patted it. "Silly girl, don't worry. Maybe Old Ancestor wants to arrange an engagement for us?"

"Okay..."

Yīn Miàomiào nodded, a worried expression still on her face.

Seeing this, Yè Tiānmíng's face filled with heartache. "Girl, I know what your brother did was despicable, but that's all in the past. We need to look forward. I'm sure Uncle wouldn't want to see you like this, right?"

"Okay," Yīn Miàomiào replied.

As they were speaking.

They had already entered the main hall with Duàn Lí.

When Yè Tiānmíng saw Yīn Zhìháng sitting in the main hall, his pupils contracted.

He couldn't understand why Yīn Zhìháng would suddenly appear here.

Yīn Miàomiào was also stunned when she saw Yīn Zhìháng, her eyes showing a complex mixture of hatred and grievance.

"We pay our respects to Old Ancestor!"

At this moment, Yè Tiānmíng and Yīn Miàomiào suppressed their emotions and bowed to Duàn Wúyá along with their master.

"Mm," Duàn Wúyá nodded and looked at Yè Tiānmíng and Yīn Miàomiào. "These two are Direct Disciples of our Kaishan Sect. They have good talent, but talent alone isn't enough. You also need to learn how to conduct yourselves. Otherwise, in the end, it will all be for naught."

"Disciple Yè Tiānmíng will strictly follow Old Ancestor's teachings."

"Disciple Yīn Miàomiào will strictly follow Old Ancestor's teachings."

Yè Tiānmíng and Yīn Miàomiào said in unison.

At the same time, a stern old voice sounded in Yè Tiānmíng's mind: "Kid, I can't see through the young man sitting in the hall. He might be a Void Immortal. I need to go into hibernation and absolutely cannot be discovered by him!"

"Void Immortal?!"

Upon hearing the old man's voice in his mind, Yè Tiānmíng gasped in shock.

A Void Immortal Expert was someone even the Old Ancestor of Kaishan Sect wasn't worthy of carrying their shoes!

After all, Elder Hui only had a cultivation of Spirit Transmutation when he had a physical body.

And Elder Hui was the owner of the old man's voice in Yè Tiānmíng's mind.

He was also Yè Tiānmíng's true master.

Although Hé Xīnghuǒ was also Yè Tiānmíng's master, it was clear that Yè Tiānmíng only wanted to use his identity as a Direct Disciple of Kaishan Sect to quickly obtain cultivation resources.

"Young friend, you can begin if you have any grievances," Duàn Wúyá said to Yīn Zhìháng at this moment.

Yè Tiānmíng was shocked. Was the Old Ancestor of Kaishan Sect going to help Yīn Zhìháng?

Thinking of this, Yè Tiānmíng panicked.

After all, his reliance, Elder Hui, was currently in hiding.

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.

However, Yīn Zhìháng didn't confront Yè Tiānmíng immediately. Instead, he looked at his sister, Yīn Miàomiào, his eyes reddening. "Miàomiào, you've lost weight."

Saying that, Yīn Zhìháng walked towards Yīn Miàomiào, wanting to hug her.

But Yīn Miàomiào took a step back, her expression cold. "I don't have a brother like you!"

"I..."

Seeing his sister's strong rejection, Yīn Zhìháng was filled with sorrow. He stood there with his hand raised, wanting to say many things but not knowing what to say.

Lǐ Zhōujūn watched the scene silently, not speaking, just observing.

"You ungrateful wretch, what else do you have to say now? It's too late for you to suddenly come to your senses. What you did was worse than pigs and dogs!"

Yè Tiānmíng stood beside Yīn Miàomiào, his expression composed as he reprimanded Yīn Zhìháng.

"What a case of the guilty party filing a complaint first," Yīn Zhìháng said, angered to the point of laughter. "On the night my Yin family was wiped out, what were you doing?"

"I was on my way to Kaishan Sect to join their ranks. What's wrong? You're not going to say that I, a Qi Refining cultivator, wiped out your Yin family, are you?"

Yè Tiānmíng said.

He believed that no one in this world would be foolish enough to think that a Qi Refining cultivator could wipe out a Foundation Establishment cultivator's entire family, especially when there were many Qi Refining cultivators among them.

This was also the reason for Yè Tiānmíng's confidence.

"You can go. Don't come looking for me again. From now on, we are no longer blood-related," Yīn Miàomiào echoed Yè Tiānmíng.

"Miàomiào, seeing is believing. Are you only going to listen to this scumbag spewing nonsense?" Yīn Zhìháng said, somewhat annoyed. "I, your elder brother, was the heir of the family. Why would I collude with evil cultists and kill Father to usurp the throne? Doesn't that sound ridiculous?

Besides, I've never liked managing these things since I was young. I wished Father would pass the position to you so I could just get my monthly allowance and live a life of leisure. Have you forgotten all this?"

Upon hearing this, Yīn Miàomiào's expression trembled.

Seeing this, Yè Tiānmíng thought, This is bad, and quickly sneered, "Yīn Zhìháng, stop spewing your nonsense. Who knows if you were just pretending before? Did your ambition only erupt recently?"

"What you're saying makes me want to laugh. It depends on the observer. My cultivation is only at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Even if I had ambition, I wouldn't destroy my father, the pillar of the family, would I? After all, without a Foundation Establishment expert supporting us, the Yin family, no matter how strong they appear, would just be a paper tiger." Yīn Zhìháng snorted.

Seeing this, Yè Tiānmíng broke out in a cold sweat. He hadn't expected Yīn Zhìháng to be not only competent but also so eloquent. He should have killed him back then to eliminate any future trouble, instead of just crippling his cultivation.

However, Yè Tiānmíng forced himself to say, "Heh heh, after you successfully murdered your father and usurped the throne, didn't you have the support of a dark cult? You just need to make annual offerings to them, right?"

"Are you out of your mind? Even if I, Yīn Zhìháng, were foolish, I wouldn't dare to scheme with a tiger. You said I colluded with a dark cult? Where's your proof? Show it to me." Yīn Zhìháng sneered repeatedly.

"Isn't the fact that you're alive the best proof?" Yè Tiānmíng retorted.

"So, you can't produce any evidence?" Yīn Zhìháng chuckled, then his expression turned fierce as he glared at Yè Tiānmíng.

"But I have proof that your Yīn family was destroyed by you. You used a secret technique to unleash your Foundation Establishment cultivation, not only slaughtering my entire Yīn family but also stealing countless treasures. Do you dare to open your storage artifact to see if there's anything from my Yīn family inside?!"

"Why should I? Just because of your few words? Why should I open my storage artifact for you to see? Who do you think you are?!"

A flicker of panic crossed Yè Tiānmíng's face. His storage ring did contain a few items from the Yīn family that he hadn't had time to deal with yet. But he quickly calmed down and said, "Don't you know that prying into the secrets of other cultivators is a grave taboo?"

"Heh heh, I think you're just afraid." Yīn Zhìháng sneered.

"Yè Tiānmíng, did you really destroy the Yīn family?!" Zhao Hui stared at Yè Tiānmíng with displeasure.

When her disciple, Yīn Miàomiào, learned that the Yīn family had been wiped out, she had been so distraught that she couldn't eat or sleep for days, which had greatly worried her.

"Elder Zhao, how could that be? I'm only at the Qi Refining stage. Even with a secret technique, I couldn't possibly break through to Foundation Establishment all at once!" Yè Tiānmíng cried out in distress.

He then looked at Yīn Miàomiào with a wronged expression. "Miàomiào, do you believe me? As long as you believe me, I don't fear anyone's doubts. As the saying goes, the clear will clear themselves!"
