The Three Patriarchs, No Way Back, the Ye Family's Traitor, and Old Hatred

Sunlight flooded the vast sky, casting boundless radiance. Sixth Elder Ye Zhanyao stood with his back to the crowd, like a sword saint walking the mortal world.

At the sight, Ye Tian, nestled in Yue Liuli's arms, stared in astonishment and cried out inwardly.

Holy shit, this is the sixth elder of my Ye Family's main branch?

What a show-off! His skill at showing off almost rivals mine in my previous life.

Ye Tian laughed inwardly, thinking that the elders of the Eternal Ye Family's main branch truly each had their own distinctive character.

With the sword in his hand, this sixth elder sent heads falling whenever his blade rose. He certainly ranked among the masters of showing off.

"Ye Zhanyao, I remember you!"

"Today, I'll settle our old grudge as well!"

Just then, an immensely powerful figure among the Bone Demon Race spotted Ye Zhanyao holding the Heavenly Profound Sword and roared, his voice shaking the heavens.

Netherworld ghostfire wreathed him as he charged at Ye Zhanyao like a demon god emerging from hell.

He was the Bone Demon Race's second elder. Long ago... his own brother had died beneath the sword of the Ye Family's sixth elder, Ye Zhanyao.

Ever since, he had sworn to the heavens that he would kill Ye Zhanyao before his life ended.

Otherwise, he would have no face to meet his brother beneath the Nine Springs!

"So, it's the loser I defeated!"

"Come, then. You're nothing but a skulking rat!"

The sword in Ye Zhanyao's hand was incomparably sharp. With a casual swing, fierce Sword Qi shook the void, shattering space as though it were a sheet of paper.

Meanwhile, divine light flashed from the teleportation arrays, and increasingly powerful figures emerged to wreak havoc upon the Eternal Ye Family.

But only a small fraction remained near the teleportation arrays.

Most followed the God Emperor's aura, searching for the God Emperor's Son.

Killing the God Emperor's Son was the foremost priority of this expedition. They could not afford any delay!

The Eternal Ye Family had also fully entered a state of battle readiness.

The Eternal Ye Family's Law Enforcement Hall, Discipline Hall, Alchemy Hall, Artifact Refining Hall, and Myriad Treasures Pavilion all dispatched their elders, guards, and others to crush the invaders.

As for the young prodigies such as Ye Linglong, Ye Sword God, and Ye Dan, they remained on their own Divine Mountain Treasure Islands.

For this battle, the Three Great Immortal Forces had poured out all their elites. Countless experts above the divine realm had come, determined to kill the God Emperor's Son and wreak havoc upon the Eternal Ye Family.

Under these circumstances, sending out the younger generation would accomplish nothing. It would merely add to the casualties.

"Hahaha! I have arrived!"

At the core of one teleportation array, a figure emerged in black robes, wreathed in flames. An overwhelming dark aura radiated from him, making him resemble a fire demon bent on destroying the world.

He was the Fire Demon Race Patriarch. His cultivation had already reached the peak God Venerable realm, leaving him just one step away from becoming a supreme God Sovereign.

Previously, he had still feared the Eternal Ye Family. After all, it was the foremost lineage in all the heavens, with a God Emperor presiding over it.

But intelligence obtained from a spy had revealed that God Emperor Ye Junlin was actually absent from the God Emperor's Son's one-month celebration!

Even heaven is helping me!

"Eternal Ye Family! You've suppressed my Fire Demon Race for countless eras. Today, you'll pay the price."

The Fire Demon Patriarch's blood energy surged skyward, his aura terrifying beyond measure. Black flames burned in his eyes, and his hatred had reached its limit.

"Brother Fire, I've come to help you!"

At another teleportation array, two more experts appeared in succession. They were tall, with sinister faces and dark killing intent swirling around them like devils.

One was the Bone Demon Race Patriarch, and the other was the Infernal Lion Patriarch.

The Fire Demon Patriarch and the Ancient Demon Patriarch both possessed peak God Monarch cultivation, while the Infernal Lion Patriarch had reached the God Sovereign realm.

Today, the leaders of the Three Great Immortal Forces had gathered at the Eternal Ye Family.

Their purpose was to eliminate future trouble by killing Ye Tian, the God Emperor's Son who had just turned one month old.

They had prepared far too long and paid far too much for this operation.

Even the pillar-like experts of their own lineages would likely perish in this operation. The price would be devastating, and their lineages' foundations might even be weakened as a result.

Their standing among the many Immortal Forces would plummet!

They had to succeed!!!

"Time is short! Find the God Emperor's Son and kill him immediately!"

The Fire Demon Race Patriarch shouted.

The other two immediately understood and released their divine senses, attempting to locate the God Emperor's Son.

Today, all their experts above the divine realm had come out in force. Perhaps most would remain here forever.

But they were different. They had fallback measures that could preserve their lives!

While cooperating with the remnants of the Blood Sea Forbidden Zone, they had also contacted someone inside the Eternal Ye Family.

Even if the three of them joined forces, together with their respective ancestors, they would still be unable to kill the God Emperor's Son.

When the time came... this insider would open the Ye Family's Clan Protection Array, allowing the supreme experts of the Blood Sea Forbidden Zone to enter.

Then... heaven and earth would collapse, and all things would wither. Against the experts of the Blood Sea Forbidden Zone, the God Emperor's Son would have no chance of surviving!

But if they failed to kill the God Emperor's Son in time and were instead held up by the Ye Family's experts, they and their ancestors would have only death awaiting them.

Time pressed upon them with indescribable urgency. They did not even have a moment to catch their breath!

"Found him!!!"

"God Emperor's Son, surrender your life!"

The Infernal Lion Patriarch had the strongest cultivation and was the first to detect the God Emperor's Son's aura.

Ye Tian felt his entire body go weak, as though a vicious beast had fixed its gaze upon him.

But remembering that he was still in his mother's arms, he relaxed.

Even if the Heavenly Dao collapses, I, Ye Tian, need only my mom. Below the God Emperor realm, she can slaughter them all with ease!

Noticing that Ye Tian was in Yue Liuli's arms, the three hesitated for an instant—but only an instant.

"Kill the God Emperor's Son!!!"

The Infernal Lion Patriarch let out a furious roar.

The other two shot forward with extraordinary speed, intent on killing Ye Tian.

Yue Liuli was the Jade Pool's Holy Lord and the Ye Family's matriarch, but her cultivation was still only at the God Sovereign realm.

With one God Sovereign and two peak God Venerables, could they really not deal with her?!

"Hah. You dare touch this Holy Lord's child? You're courting death!"

Yue Liuli snapped coldly. As she raised her hand, boundless streams of light shot forth, piercing through everything. Her formidable divine power seemed ready to wipe heaven and earth flat.

The other Ye Family elders also arrived one after another and engaged the top experts of the Three Great Immortal Forces in battle.

Meanwhile, in a secluded corner, an ancient tree towered into the sky. Its enormous leaves concealed a figure wreathed in black energy. He held a talisman—the very Army-Calming Talisman that had prevented the many guests from going to provide support.

He wore a dark robe of the Eternal Ye Family. His face was long and narrow, with slender cheekbones, downturned lips, a sharp, prominent nose, and a small tuft of beard.

"Hmph, Ye Junlin, you made me lose my son!"

"Then I'll lay a trap too. I'll never let your only child remain alive in this world!"

Had a Ye Family disciple been present, they would have recognized him at a glance. This man... was the master of the Eternal Ye Family's Myriad Treasures Pavilion. He held a position of great authority, with actual power exceeding even that of some main-branch elders.

The Eternal Ye Family had a flourishing population and deeply intertwined influence, with one main branch and several side branches.

Beneath the lineage's main hall were the Law Enforcement Palace, Discipline Hall, Artifact Refining Hall, Scripture Pavilion, Alchemy Hall, Myriad Treasures Pavilion, Mission Pavilion, Intelligence Pavilion, and Family Treasure Vault.

Every hall, palace, or pavilion had its own master and subordinate elders.

This shifty-eyed Ye Family expert was named Ye Jiancai, the master of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

In other words, he was the insider supporting the Three Great Immortal Forces and the remnants of the Blood Sea Forbidden Zone in their surprise attack on the Eternal Ye Family.

Now, he gazed into the distance, watching the experts of the Three Great Immortal Forces continually emerge from the teleportation arrays, awaiting the imminent arrival of the Blood Sea Remnants.

Not only did he show no concern, he was positively delighted.

"Ye Junlin, when you ordered my son's execution back then, you should have foreseen this day."

Ye Jiancai spoke coldly, filled with hatred for Ye Junlin and the Eternal Ye Family.

Back then, his son had abducted a holy maiden from another holy land while outside the family, then brutally murdered her.

He had also committed evil in the Eternal Ye Family's name, carrying out many deeds that enraged heaven and men alike.

After the matter came to light, Ye Jiancai had used his influence to maneuver against the Law Enforcement Hall and Discipline Hall. He had thought he could deceive heaven and cross the sea, successfully saving his son.

He had never expected Ye Junlin to discover it and order his son's execution without the slightest hesitation.

Just like that, he had lost the only son he had ever had.

Afterward, he had secretly resolved to make Ye Junlin taste the pain of losing a son.

That was why he had reached an agreement with the Fire Demon Race and the other two Immortal Forces, along with the remnants of the Blood Sea Forbidden Zone, to serve as their insider.

Earlier, to prevent the many banquet guests from providing support, he had used the Army-Calming Talisman he had secretly refined for years, successfully sealing off a region of space.

"It won't be long now. The Blood Sea Remnants should be arriving soon."

"The Ye Family's Clan Protection Array has gone without maintenance for years. An accident would be perfectly normal, wouldn't it? Hehehe."
