Moreover, Ye Zhichan's lineage has many outstanding disciples, and some even have the potential to advance to the Saint Heart Realm, so favoritism is inevitable.
"It's this matter again. How long ago was this? Why bring it up again? Didn't we say that this matter had nothing to do with them? It was done by the four families of the Star Palace?" the Fifth Elder said in a deep voice.
Ye Liuyun could tell what these guys were thinking just by looking at their expressions.
"Heh, alright, you're the elders, so if you say it's okay, then it's okay. But the question is, have you produced any evidence that it's okay? Just because of your words, I have to endure such pain? If your immediate family members died under unclear circumstances, would you swallow this matter and prioritize the greater good?" Ye Liuyun retorted.
Every word Ye Liuyun uttered was difficult for them to refute.
"You? Ye Zhi Qiu, your great-grandfather is my son. I am the elder closest to your family right now. Don't you believe what I say?" an elder in the mid-stage of the Saint Heart Realm asked in return.
This person is Ye Zhi Qiu's great-grandfather, Ye Lu.
Ye Liuyun rolled her eyes inwardly. If she couldn't win an argument, it seemed she was resorting to using seniority to pressure him.
"Heh, whatever you say goes, I don't believe it unless you produce solid evidence. Besides, I didn't do anything wrong today. Their younger brother bullied my younger brother, and instead of bothering those little brats, I went straight for their older siblings. Is there a problem with that? Why don't you blame them for publicly humiliating their own family? Anyway, unless everyone is treated equally, don't expect me to admit my mistake. I want to see if you elders are biased." Ye Liuyun said loudly.
The sound could be said to have spread throughout the entire Six Meridians' stronghold; everyone heard it.
Favoritism among elders is something that happens in all families and is unavoidable.
Ye Liuyun's words were very blunt, which made the elders even more embarrassed.
"You? Fine, fine, very fine, Ye Zhi Qiu, you've grown quite capable. I don't care what grievances or dissatisfaction you have, but you are a member of the Six Lineages, and you must obey the orders of the Six Lineages elders. I now order you to stop challenging Ye Zhi Chan and his lineage. If you want to challenge them, you can only do so within the Six Lineages' territory. Do you obey or not?" The Fifth Elder spoke again, this time in a very stern tone, leaving Ye Liu Yun no room for refusal.
Unfortunately, the Ye Zhi Qiu before me is no longer the cautious Ye Zhi Qiu I knew.
"I refuse. I am a disciple of the Longevity Sect. I joined the Longevity Sect through my own abilities, not because of your connections. If you insist on forcing me, then I'm sorry, my brother and I will sever ties with the Six Meridians from now on," Ye Liuyun said directly.
This is another slap in the face, and a pretty slap in the face at that.
"How dare you! You don't even acknowledge your ancestors!" Ye Lu immediately lost his temper, raised his hand, and slapped Ye Liuyun across the face. After all, theoretically speaking, he was the closest elder to Ye Zhi Qiu, so it was the most appropriate for him to discipline him.
However, to Ye Lu's and the other members of the Ye family from the Six Lineages' unexpected turn of events, an extremely powerful pressure suddenly descended from the sky, suppressing the entire Six Lineages family's territory.
This also stopped Ye Lu's attack.
"Enough! I never expected that there would be such a shameless bunch among my descendants. It's truly disgraceful."
This was a divine pressure, specifically targeting the elders of the Six Meridians Saint Heart Realm. Ye Liuyun didn't seem too surprised by this, because she had long noticed that her younger brother, Ye Liufeng, had been paying attention to the Six Meridians.
Ye Liuyun did this specifically to show her younger brother; she wanted to see if he could tolerate such a thing happening among his descendants.
"Who, who is it? Who dares to attack my Six Meridians?" This Six Meridians elder had obviously not witnessed Ye Liufeng's power, so he did not recognize him immediately.
Immediately, two figures descended from the sky and landed in front of them. The newcomers were Ye Liufeng and Ye Chunhua.
"Eh? Ancestor, and ancestor, what brings you all here?" The Fifth Elder and the others looked extremely embarrassed.
The members of the Six Lineages clan around them all knelt down before Ye Liufeng and Ye Chunhua, for their true ancestors had appeared.
The Six Veins Elders never expected that Ye Liufeng and Ye Chunhua would get involved in this matter.
This was Ye Liuyun's first meeting with her younger brother, though he certainly wouldn't recognize her.
"Hmph! Ye Peixuan, you're really something. I never expected such a terrible thing to happen to your six lineages, and you didn't even bother to report it. It seems you've forgotten the Ye family rules." Ye Chunhua sneered.
This cold snort immediately caused the Fifth Elder to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Such a major event should have been decided by the Changsheng Sect, as the Changsheng Sect is also known as the Ye Clan Main Line, which is the so-called direct lineage.
"I, Ancestor, this, this matter, I, I was wrong, but, I had no choice." The Fifth Elder readily admitted his mistake.
Because he had no right to argue with Ye Chunhua.
"Hmph! You can't even treat everyone equally in this matter, so what kind of leader are you? If everyone is like you, favoring one side, then our Ye family will be destroyed by people like you sooner or later. Chunhua, abolish their six branches, disperse them, and take back their bases." Ye Liufeng announced directly.
Ye Peixuan was startled.
"This? Ancestor, ancestor, this unworthy descendant has made a mistake, but it doesn't apply to the entire Six Lineages clan! If you want to punish someone, punish me alone. We, the disciples of the Six Lineages, have worked hard for so many years to become a major lineage. You can't punish all the members of the Six Lineages clan because of my one problem!" Ye Peixuan hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy.
The so-called abolition of the six branches means that they will be scattered Ye family members from now on. The six branches will have to establish their own families and will no longer receive the favor of the main branch, nor will they receive any preferential treatment or privileges.
These major lineages are so powerful not only because of their combined strength, but also because some of their ancestors were leaders of the main lineage.
Ye Liufeng immediately glanced at Ye Chunhua, who also felt that the situation was a bit too serious.
"Ancestor, this punishment is a bit too harsh. I don't think it's appropriate," Ye Chunhua said telepathically.
After calming down, Ye Liufeng thought about it carefully and also felt that it was a bit too heavy.
"Alright, for Chunhua's sake, I'll let you six sects off this time. But you, you are no longer qualified to be the leader of the six sects. Choose someone else. Go to the Temple of the Longevity Sect and reflect on your mistakes for a hundred years. You are not allowed to come out without my order," Ye Liufeng said again.
This punishment was already considered lenient, and Ye Peixuan did not try to bargain further.
"Yes, I will go and reflect on my mistakes right away." Ye Peixuan took a deep breath, then stood up. At the same time, he glanced at Ye Liuyun with a somewhat gloomy expression. In his heart, he must hate Ye Liuyun to death. If it weren't for Ye Liuyun, how could he have been punished like this?
Ye Liuyun also sensed the old man's murderous aura, but she simply pretended not to see it.
After punishing Ye Peixuan, Ye Liufeng then looked at Ye Liuyun.
"Little girl, are you satisfied with my punishment?" Ye Liufeng asked.
Ye Liuyun thought for a moment, then answered.
"Senior, is this all you need?"
Seeing that Ye Liuyun dared to question even Ye Liufeng, Ye Lu immediately reprimanded Ye Peixuan even after he was punished.
"Ye Zhi Qiu, are you crazy? Do you even know who this elder is? He is Ye Liu Feng, the disciple of the Immortal of Longevity and the founder of our Ye family lineage." Ye Lu quickly explained Ye Liu Feng's identity.
But Ye Liuyun still wouldn't give him any face.
“I want justice. If you don’t give me this justice, then you are not qualified to be my elder, no matter who you are. Just because you have someone’s bloodline, does that mean you have to obey that person unconditionally?” Ye Liuyun retorted.
This is interesting. In short, if you give me justice, I will acknowledge you as my elder; if you don't give me justice, it means you don't want to acknowledge me.
Ye Chunhua also felt that Ye Liuyun's words were a bit excessive. He was about to say something, but Ye Liufeng stopped him.
"Little girl, you've got guts. But I agree with what you said. Indeed, an elder who is biased towards one side and acts unfairly doesn't deserve respect. I'll give you justice right now. Chunhua, take her back to the ancestral hall of the Longevity Sect and have the sect investigate this matter personally. Bring all the parties involved to the ancestral hall, and all the Ye family's high-ranking members must be present to witness it," Ye Liufeng ordered.
After saying this, Ye Liufeng vanished into thin air.
When Ye Chunhua saw that Ye Liufeng had left, she knew that this matter had provoked Ye Liufeng, and that Ye Liufeng wanted to take this opportunity to reorganize the Ye family.
Ye Chunhua knew something big was about to happen, so he sighed helplessly.
"Ye Peiyuan, from now on you are the master of the Six Families. Go and bring all the people related to what happened back then to the ancestral hall. Little girl, come with me." Ye Chunhua left these words and waved to Ye Liuyun, then took Ye Liuyun away in the next moment.
After they all left, the six elders were in a real bind.
"This is terrible, we're in trouble. If this matter is really investigated, Ye Zhang and his lineage will likely find something wrong, and then the losses for our six lineages will be even greater." An elder was at his wit's end.
Ye Zhang is Ye Zhichan's father. His father is still alive, but his grandfather is definitely no longer alive.
Looking at Ye Liuyun's side, Ye Liuyun had already arrived at the place where the Ye clan was located. This place did not look like an ancestral hall at all, but more like a temple. There were sculptures of Ye Liuyun's parents, grandparents, but the most eye-catching were the lifelike statues of Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue.
"Oh, little girl, you've given us a real problem," Ye Chunhua sighed helplessly.
Ye Liuyun had met Ye Chunhua.
"If you're sick, you need to get treatment. If you keep enduring it, it will eventually become a serious illness," Ye Liuyun said calmly.
As soon as she said those words, for some reason, Ye Chunhua couldn't help but turn around and carefully examine Ye Liuyun, because she felt that the person in front of her seemed to be doing it on purpose.
Time passed slowly, and soon, powerful auras arrived at the clan ancestral hall. These were undoubtedly prominent cultivators in the Ye clan who had reached the Saint Heart Realm. There were many of them, and not all of them were concentrated in the Eight Veins. There were also a few powerful individuals from some smaller branches.
"Ancestor, what brings you here?" After these powerful figures arrived, they all bowed to Ye Chunhua, while glancing at Ye Liuyun.
After all, Ye Liuyun had caused such a big commotion not long ago, and they all knew about what was going on with the Six Veins.
"Ancestor, I want to personally seek justice for this girl's parents and relatives. I never expected that such a thing would happen in the Six Families. Hey, you didn't know either?" Ye Chunhua asked.
Upon hearing this, cult leader Ye Jing immediately shook her head.
“Ancestor, I have not received any information from the Six Meridians,” Ye Jing said.
The other high-ranking members of the seven factions were also stunned, all saying they didn't know. In fact, even if they did know, they wouldn't rashly say they knew; they would wait and see.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Ye Zhichan and the others who were on a mission were suddenly ordered by the elders of the Six Meridians to return to the Six Meridians. Ye Zhichan didn't know what had happened, so she had no choice but to obey the order and return. But when she returned, she found that her whole family was here.
"What? Elder, what's wrong?" Ye Zhichan asked, looking at the worried faces of the family.
Ye Peiyuan quickly explained the situation, and Ye Zhichan's expression changed upon hearing this.
"How could this be?"
"Anyway, this matter is beyond what our Six Families can handle. You should head over to the ancestral hall. That girl Ye Zhi Qiu has really stirred up a hornet's nest." Ye Peiyuan was at his wits' end. To be honest, he really didn't want to be the head of the Six Families.
Chapter 895 Unexpected (5K)
This was absolutely unexpected, and it could even be said that Ye Zhichan and the others did not anticipate it at all, because they felt that Ye Zhi Qiu should not have such audacity.
But they never imagined that what their family had done would fall into Ye Liuyun's hands. They could only say they were unlucky, or perhaps they deserved it.
Left with no other choice, Ye Zhichan and the others were forced to go to the ancestral hall. There were already many people in the clan. Those who came to the ancestral hall might not all have high cultivation levels, but their seniority would certainly not be low.
Because in a family-based power like the Longevity Cult, seniority is still paramount.
Ye Liuyun's aunt, Ye Xin, would definitely be present. She was currently the most senior member of the Ye family. When she arrived, she looked at Ye Liuyun with a puzzled expression, wondering where Ye Liuyun's courage and confidence came from, that she dared to fight against the Six Meridians alone.
"Little girl, you're great! I like your personality. Don't worry, we'll definitely get justice for you." As Ye Xin passed by Ye Liuyun, she patted Ye Liuyun's shoulder with a grin, giving her a "I'll take care of you" look, which made Ye Liuyun both laugh and cry.
Soon all the Ye family members who were supposed to arrive arrived and took their seats in the ancestral hall. Ye Liufeng, Ye Ningyu, and Ye Xin were definitely seated at the very top.
After the higher-ups arrived, all the people from Ye Zhichan's faction who had participated in the events of that year also arrived, and they glared angrily at Ye Liuyun as soon as they arrived.
"Ye Zhi Qiu, what are you trying to do? The matter from back then has already been settled. Do you have to pin the crime of harming our clansmen on us before you're satisfied?" Ye Zhi Chan questioned in a deep voice.
Ye Liuyun didn't know exactly what happened back then, but she was absolutely certain that if she could figure out what happened, she could help Ye Zhi Qiu put an end to a long-standing worry.
"Whether it is or not, we'll find out soon enough. Why are you in such a hurry? Are you hiding something?" Ye Zhi Qiu sneered.
Ye Zhichan was speechless. Her father quickly gestured for her not to say anything more. After all, this was the ancestral hall, and they couldn't just brush it off with a few words.
"Silence," Ye Chunhua said.
When Ye Chunhua spoke, everyone fell silent.
"The matter we're going to discuss today is the Six Families' affair with Ye Zhi Qiu and his entire family, who all perished during a mission years ago. The Six Families have been suppressing this matter and haven't dealt with it properly. Today, our main branch will take charge of this matter and give Ye Zhi Qiu a reasonable explanation," Ye Chunhua announced.
The Ye family elders around them began to whisper among themselves. They couldn't understand why such a small matter would be brought up for discussion at the clan assembly. They felt that things couldn't be that simple, and that their ancestor might be doing something they didn't know about.
Suddenly, all the branches with guilty consciences or those who had violated family rules became worried.
"Our ancestors, our forefathers, we were completely unaware of this matter," the head of the lineage hurriedly said.
“Yes, we were all unaware of this and have no way to make a judgment on this matter.” The other leaders of the major clans all wanted to leave the room, fearing that they would be dragged into it as well.
Because among these major branches, it's absolutely impossible that they haven't done anything that violates the family rules. It's just that the main branch doesn't know about it. They usually deal with it internally and would never bring these things to the clan assembly.
"What's your hurry? Did I say you had a problem? You want to get away with this so quickly? Have you done something bad and are you afraid someone will expose you?" Ye Liufeng said, staring sharply at them.
Ye Liuyun's words made the seven leaders of the major clans sit down awkwardly. This showed that they were all acting independently and only wanted to protect themselves.
"Chunhua, you continue," Ye Liufeng gestured.
Ye Chunhua is the current patriarch of the Ye family clan, so she is definitely the one who should preside over this matter.
"Ye Zhang, you were one of the participants back then. Tell us the truth about what happened back then. Don't try to hide anything. You know very well that if we're going to investigate, you can't hide anything," Ye Chunhua reminded him.
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhang took a deep breath and began to recount what had happened back then.
First of all, it is certain that Ye Zhang and his group did deliberately stand by and watch Ye Zhi Qiu's father die. At the time, they were not far from where Ye Zhi Qiu's father was attacked. They did receive the distress call and rushed over, but they only watched from a distance and did not go up to help fight the enemy.
The reason for not helping is that the two families have a deep-seated feud. Ye Zhang's grandfather failed to break through to the Saint Heart Realm and died because of Ye Zhi Qiu's grandfather, and since then the two families have been irreconcilable enemies.
So there's a reason for this.
"My three ancestors, my ancestors, I have said everything I need to say. There is no end to this. We admit that we failed to save her, but this was something Ye Zhi Qiu's grandfather did himself, and it has brought disaster upon his descendants. My father is no longer here, and as the eldest son of our family, I have no complaints if I am to be punished," Ye Zhang said in a deep voice.
This guy's attitude in admitting his mistake was quite good, but Ye Zhi Qiu felt it was a bit too simple. She could tell from Ye Zhi Chan and the others' expressions that there was more to this matter than met the eye.
After listening, Ye Chunhua and the others looked at Ye Liufeng and the other two.
“Don’t look at me. This is Liu Feng’s direct descendant, not mine. I’m not getting involved in this matter. Let him handle it himself,” Ye Xin immediately stated.
"Me too, this is my brother's business, so I can't say much," Ye Ningyu also stated.
Then it's up to Ye Liufeng to make the decision.
Ye Liufeng took a deep breath and then looked at Ye Liuyun.
"Little girl, are you satisfied with their story? Or is it true?" Ye Liufeng asked.
“There were indeed conflicts among our ancestors, but I believe that if my second grandfather were still alive, he would certainly not want to see his descendants being so heartless,” Ye Liuyun said.
