Ye family in the capital.
Ye Nantian's face was extremely grim as he stared at the disconnected communication, his eyes flashing, killing intent gradually emerging.
"This matter has blown up, actually drawing out people from the Dark Hall, and they also made a move today. Ye Longlin is not foolish; he will definitely use this to his advantage. Once it's reported to the highest authorities, I will lose my eligibility to compete for the Five Decisions.
Not only that, but the Glory Arbitration Court will thoroughly investigate us. By then, my Ye family will be disgraced, and it will impact the grand plan."
Ye Xingchen's eyes showed a strange glow. This matter had exceeded their expectations. They never thought the Dark Hall would make a move at this time, leaving them no time to react.
Ye Nantian was silent for a moment, then said sinisterly, "Since Ye Longlin wants to use this matter against my Ye family, there's no reason why I can't use it against him.
Why did the Dark Hall make a move today? Is it related to Ye Longlin? If the Dark Hall is connected to Ye Longlin, then the Dark Hall's actions tonight would be logical. Ye Longlin is framing the Ye family with the Dark Hall, and the evidence is conclusive. He is using this to return to the Ye family and gain their protection."
Ye Xingchen's eyes lit up, "I'll go to the council to submit the materials immediately. Also, immediately conduct an investigation of everyone in the Ye family. Ye Longlin wouldn't act without reason; there must be someone from the Dark Hall in the Ye family, otherwise, they wouldn't have threatened me."
Ye Nantian stroked his chin in thought, "You go to the council first. The important thing now is to inform the Glory Hall and gain the initiative. Whoever reports this first will have the advantage. Even if the Glory Hall wants to interrogate my Ye family, that will be later. But it's not impossible that Ye Longlin is bluffing."
Ye Xingchen nodded and immediately left for the council.
His status was not sufficient to directly contact the Glory Hall, so he had to go through the council.
However, the Ye family had no idea that Ye Longlin was the only Five-Star Heavenly King in Great Xia, nor did they imagine that this matter had already been placed on the table of the Glory Hall Arbitration Court.
The status of the Glory Hall was even higher than the highest authorities. Since the founding of Great Xia, the Glory Hall's status had surpassed everything. While it appeared detached, in reality, the Glory Hall's control over Great Xia had reached a terrifying level.
The Highest Authority.
It was once called – The Council of the Glory Hall!
And the subordinate organizations of the Glory Hall Arbitration Court were various courts!
"The video evidence submitted by Heavenly King Ye clearly records Ye Wudao framing Yuan Jiang by colluding with the Dark Hall. This alone is enough to sentence Ye Wudao to death."
"Hmph, I don't think so. Perhaps Heavenly King Ye himself colluded with the Dark Hall to eliminate the Ye family? After all, Heavenly King Ye is himself a member of the Ye family and has a grievance with them."
"This is the list of the Ye family submitted by Heavenly King Ye. The names on it are all dark agents of the Dark Hall, detailing their actions. Once interrogated, the truth will be revealed, so there's no need for you to argue."
Those who could sit in this conference room had reached the pinnacle of power. Their words could determine life and death.
These old men were all formidable figures, seeing matters more clearly than anyone.
Even Ye Longlin, with his status as a Five-Star Heavenly King, did not have the qualifications to approach this place.
This was the most core area of the entire Great Xia.
An elder sitting at the head of the table tapped the table, and everyone fell silent, awaiting his command.
"Immediately order the sealing of the Ye family and dispatch a small team to apprehend all individuals on the list."
"Ye family's young master is currently competing for the Five Decisions. Let's postpone this matter and make plans after confirming the Ye family incident."
"Agreed."
"Agreed."
"Agreed."
With a single statement, the capital was shaken.
This was the Arbitration Court, the highest authority within the Glory Hall!
...
Star City.
Ye Longlin looked indifferently at the figures cloaked in black robes and sighed.
"I didn't expect you to be an envoy of the Dark Hall. If you are their envoy, then there must be many others who are also your people."
The person in front of him was a traitor to the Ye family, but only she knew whether she was a traitor or not.
The Ye family, truly a behemoth, with too deep a network, had caused this once brilliant individual to betray Great Xia.
Ye Xiaoqin, the leading figure of the Ye family from the previous generation, possessed extremely high martial arts talent. She had reached the Martial King realm at a young age and was hailed as a rare prodigy once in a century. Now, she had become a running dog of the Dark Hall.
"The Ye family are nothing but a bunch of hypocritical scoundrels. The main lineage is even more despicable. The year I defeated a Martial King with a single sword, the Ye family's main lineage became fearful that I would surpass them, and eventually poisoned me.
Fortunately, fortunately, they didn't bury me but simply threw me into a mass grave. They probably all thought I was dead. But they never expected me to be saved by a high-ranking official of the Dark Hall, nor did they expect the poison I ingested to be developed by the Dark Hall. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Now that I am alive, I want revenge. I eagerly await them seeing me. Hahaha, what do you think they will feel when they see me, as if they saw a ghost?"
Ye Longlin remained silent, watching her. After a long while, he sighed, "Since you encountered me, don't think about leaving alive. Tell me everything I want to know, and I'll help you get revenge."
Ye Xiaoqin looked up at Ye Longlin's face, her expression filled with disgust, "Seeing your face reminds me of that scoundrel Ye Nantian, it's truly disgusting!"
"I know you, Ye Longlin. Just like me, you were eventually expelled from the Ye family. Hahahaha, after so many years, the Ye family still hasn't changed its dog-like habits. I can tell you what you want to know, but you must promise me to kill Ye Nantian at my grave to honor me!"
She did not expect to leave Ye Longlin's hands alive. She understood Ye Longlin's methods and the status of the Dark Hall.
She couldn't speak for other countries, but in Great Xia, they would surely kill!
"I cannot promise you that. I can only say I will try my best."
They did not understand the structure of the Dark Hall. They only knew that this organization was extremely vast and had strong infiltration capabilities, and they didn't even know what their objectives were.
Ye Xiaoqin nodded, coughed up another mouthful of blood, and her body's aging accelerated.
"The power of the Dark Hall is immense. All I know is..."
Five minutes later, the light in Ye Xiaoqin's eyes gradually weakened until it disappeared. Her pupils slowly dilated, and her skin became dull and lusterless, wrinkling until she resembled an old woman, with no trace of her former self remaining.
The Life-Severing Palm, which cut off all vitality, was not just a mere saying.
"I never imagined the Dark Hall's influence to be so vast. It's unbelievable."
