Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 364: Chapter 362: Because He Helped Me!

“As long as Ye Longhe says ‘regret’ now, that middle-aged man could use that as an excuse to back down.”

At this moment, in front of so many elders of the Ye Family, the problem lay with Ye Longhe and Ye Longchen, and these two were his own sons. If he let them off easily, what would others think?

“I do not regret!”

However, Ye Longhe, despite his injuries, spoke unclearly as he looked up, “Father, I know I have erred, but my name is Ye Longhe. I am a descendant of the Ye Family. Everything I have done, I will never regret!”

“I will kill you, you rebel!”

The middle-aged man’s arm trembled, and the surging Dragon Power roared into action, striking directly at Ye Longhe.

But at that moment, the elder who had spoken earlier sighed and stopped the middle-aged man, saying, “Family Head, what happened has happened, and killing the eldest young master is useless now. We should think of a way to solve the problem, keep the eldest young master, and who knows if he may be of help in this matter later on, given his exceptional talent, don’t you think?”

“Family Head, the eldest young master was young and ignorant, which led to this reckless act. I hope the Family Head can forgive him.”

“Family Head, this incident can also be a trial for the eldest young master. Having experienced this, he will know in the future what should be done and what should not be done.”

“Family Head, please spare the eldest young master just this once.”

Others also began pleading for Ye Longhe at that moment.

They knew the temperament of this middle-aged man; if they did not speak up, he might really kill Ye Longhe in a fit of anger.

The Ye family was comparable to a super sect, a major clan, although in decline, but a thin camel is bigger than a horse.

Moreover, among all the grand powers, the Ye Family was the only one extremely united, never engaging in internal strife.

This was evident from the fact that these elders all pleaded for Ye Longhe.

In the eyes of the Ye family members, as long as it was a clan member, even if they made a grave mistake, they would not blame but would think of how to solve it together.

It was precisely because of this mindset that the Ye family was so united and had reached where it was today.

“I am asking you one last time, do you regret it or not!!!” The middle-aged man’s gaze was fixed on Ye Longhe.

The gazes of others also turned to Ye Longhe at that moment.

Especially those elders, who were trying hard to signal to Ye Longhe with their eyes.

Someone even transmitted a message saying, “Eldest young master, even if you truly do not regret it, what harm is there in saying you regret it superficially? At least this way, you can provide the Family Head with a way out. Otherwise, with such a big incident occurring, this black pot would all have to be carried by the Family Head alone!”

Ye Longhe looked up and seeing the angry expression of the middle-aged man, he suddenly smiled.

“Father, you once told me, a man should own up to what he does.”

“My name is Ye Longhe, I am your son Ye Xiaotian, and everything I have done was after careful deliberation, fully aware and rational.”

“You ask me whether I regret it or not, I have regrets, but I also have no regrets.”

“What I regret is opening the Seven-Domain Divine Mountain, releasing the Extraterritorial Demon, but I… absolutely do not regret opening the Seven-Domain Divine Mountain to help Su Han!”

This statement was somewhat contradictory, but everyone understood Ye Longhe’s meaning.

He did not regret helping Su Han; he just regretted releasing the Extraterritorial Demon.

“Whoosh!”

As his words fell, the middle-aged man suddenly waved his hand, and a massive suction force appeared from it, causing Ye Longhe’s body to fly directly towards him and be grabbed by the neck.

“Rebel, tell me, what magic potion did Su Han feed you that makes you plead for him even at this moment!”

The middle-aged man said coldly, “I can tell you that Su Han is the prime culprit who released the Extraterritorial Demon. If you cannot give me a reasonable explanation, I will not care about the affairs of the Extraterritorial Demon. I will head to Dongling Kingdom first, find Su Han, and grind him into dust, annihilating both his body and spirit!”

“Cough cough…” Ye Longhe, being choked, struggled to breathe and coughed out loud.

“Family Head, please release the eldest young master first; how can he answer you like this?” an elder spoke up.

The middle-aged man snorted coldly and threw Ye Longhe onto the ground.

“Father, recently, the Giant Island, Sword Immortal Tomb, Sect of the Battle God, Jade Void Palace, and other Super Sects jointly took action, wanting to annihilate the God-Slaying Pavilion. Grand Elder Yuanling from Jade Void Palace, fueled by fury, struck several palms, slaughtering tens of thousands from God-Slaying Pavilion. You are aware of this, aren’t you?” Ye Longhe said.

“Of course, I am aware!” the middle-aged man snorted coldly.

“Everyone does not know why, but I can tell you. It was because Su Han had killed Dao Ye, the Heavenly Talent of Jade Void Palace, captured Liushui Wuhen from Giant Island, Duanmu Ci from Sword Immortal Tomb, and the Heavenly Talent Gui Qingtian from the Deputy Sect of the Sect of the Battle God!”

Ye Longhe said, “In the Gate of Deer Chasing, there appeared a drop of the Blood of the True Dragon. I had competed with Su Han over it. The result was that, aside from me, everyone who tried to contest him was either killed or imprisoned. Now, do you understand why I have no regrets?”

“Is it because he spared you?” the tone of the middle-aged man eased a bit.

“It is because he helped me!”

Ye Longhe firmly said, “I can tell you, the talent of Su Han cannot even be described as genius or freak. With the invasion of the Extraterritorial Demon approaching, the Dragon Martial Continent will soon be in chaos. But in this chaotic world, Su Han’s name will eventually resonate and shake everyone’s spirit!”

“The Ye Family has an ancestral teaching, to reciprocate even the slightest kindness like gushing springs. But you… you shouldn’t have been so reckless!” the middle-aged man said in a deep voice.

“Besides this method, what else can help Su Han?”

Ye Longhe countered, “If I suggested that the Ye Family intervene, would you help? That would set our entire family against those Super Sects. How could I possibly do that!”

“Sigh…”

Understanding the underlying reason, the elders all sighed.

“You two go down first,” an elder said.

Hearing this, Ye Longhe and Long Chen hesitated briefly, then stood up, intending to leave.

“Wait a moment.”

But at that moment, the middle-aged man spoke again.

Ye Longhe and Long Chen paused, then stopped.

“Whoosh!”

The middle-aged man waved his hand, and a jade bottle appeared in front of Ye Longhe.

“This pill can heal your injuries. The two of you have committed such a grievous error; though death is spared, punishment is unavoidable. I am sentencing you to face the wall in penance. Without my approval, no one is allowed to leave!”

Ye Longhe’s eyes reddened as he caught the pill and calmly withdrew.

He knew, no matter how angry the middle-aged man was, he was ultimately his father.

Even the punishment of facing the wall in penance was for their safety, given that the Extraterritorial Demon… was about to invade.
