Chapter 510: Chapter 454 Heaven-defying Fate Changing Part 1

Just as Ye Yuanshan and Elder Ye Zhen were filled with regret for their recent actions, Ye Wenhai and others hadn’t left the inner court building but instead gathered at the elevator entrance.

"How exactly did he get acquitted and escape punishment?"

Within the crowd, Ye Wenling couldn’t help but speak up, her tone quite aggrieved.

As the only female member among the third generation of the Ye Family, known as the Princess of the Ye Family, her life had always been smooth sailing. She had commanded winds and rains in the business world; when had she ever been as frustrated as today?

"It must be like what the second brother said—Chu Xuanji, who once had a ’Savior contribution,’ must have saved him, right?"

Ye Wenjun’s frustration was no lesser than Ye Wenling’s, but all he could do was swallow his bitterness. He still had some doubts, "But then again, it is Chu Xuanji who has the ’Savior contribution,’ not him. Even if his merits offset his crimes, it shouldn’t be credited to him, right?"

"How he escaped punishment isn’t important. If he can really extend the old man’s life, what do our recent grievances amount to?"

Ye Wenhai said with a cold smile, having come to terms with the initial shock.

In his view, given Ye Fan’s character, it was very likely that he would negotiate with Ye Yuanshan to extend his life, probably forcing Ye Yuanshan to end his career. But once Ye Fan did extend Ye Yuanshan’s life, Ye Yuanshan could simply go back on his word, breaking the agreement!

In that case, it would be impossible for Ye Fan to end his career!

And once his career doesn’t end, as long as the two elders of the Ye Family back him, not to mention becoming an elder, even reaching the top might not be impossible!

Hmm?

Startled by Ye Wenhai’s words, Ye Wenling and the others found reasons to agree.

The atmosphere was disarrayed.

Once Ye Yuanshan departs this world, their days wouldn’t be as comfortable as before; they might even face various suppressions and troubles. Compared to that, the humiliation Ye Fan recently inflicted on them seemed overdone, but it was merely a momentary irritation.

"Sigh..."

Outside the intensive care unit, Ye Wenhao couldn’t help but sigh.

As an invincible existence within the Innate Great Perfection Realm, his hearing was far superior to ordinary people. Not only did he hear the conversation between Ye Wenhai and the others, but he also overheard the earlier discussion between Ye Fan and Ye Yuanshan.

Brothers are like limbs.

He, who greatly valued loyalty, had originally planned to talk to Ye Fan and ask him to spare Ye Wenhai. But hearing what Ye Wenhai had just said and recalling how Ye Wenhai had acted after the elders had abandoned him, his heart turned cold—Ye Wenhai regarded him as a brother, but did Ye Wenhai ever consider him one?

Throughout history, the struggle for the throne has been ruthless, with brothers killing each other and sons murdering fathers to ascend the throne.

In his eyes, if Ye Wenhai could ascend to that highly coveted position, when push came to shove, he would definitely turn the executioner’s blade towards him!

After feeling disheartened, Ye Zhen thought about how Ye Fan was willing to pay any price to help him reach the top.

This stark contrast touched him deeply, causing his eyes to slightly heat up.

Meanwhile.

In the intensive care unit, Ye Yuanshan’s face gradually lost its regretful expression as he pondered, "You just mentioned ensuring your father could ascend to the top through the Ye Family Camp; I can only promise to give it my all, but I can’t guarantee the final outcome."

"Are you thinking of going back on your word or asking me to step back?" Ye Fan asked coldly.

"No."

Ye Yuanshan quickly explained, "It’s due to the circumstances. For one, the recent incidents, even if you are unharmed, won’t clear your reputation, and that will become the main attack point by the Ye Family’s rivals. Moreover, although the Ye Family Camp is powerful, it can’t guarantee your father’s ascension unless..."

"Unless Yan supports us too, right?"

Ye Fan sneered, interrupting Ye Yuanshan, "I once heard that the Ye Family progressed from a ninth-rate family to its current status entirely through your great wisdom. Now it seems the rumor isn’t unfounded—at this moment, you’re still trying to outmaneuver me, attempting to maximize the benefits."

"—"

Ye Yuanshan, as if his innermost secrets had been exposed, had nothing to say, a trace of imperceptible embarrassment crossing his features.

And Ye Zhen silently marveled at Ye Fan’s meticulous thinking, to have even seen through that!

"According to your plan, if I can pull Yan as a strong ally, the chances of my father reaching the top would be greatly increased, and other Ye Family members, including Ye Wenhai, would benefit greatly, right?"

As Ye Fan spoke, he didn’t wait for Ye Yuanshan to respond but sharply changed his tone to one as cold as ice, "Let me tell you, I have already gained Yan’s full support for my father reaching the top! But... it is only to support my father—not to worry about the fate of other members of the Ye Family. Likewise, don’t expect to agree to me now and then, after I prolong your life, go back on your word and not punish Ye Wenhai!"

"I tell you, that’s impossible!"

Ye Fan’s voice was low and filled with a dangerous aura, "If I can extend your life, I can also end your life as well!"

"You..."

Startled by Ye Fan’s rebellious words, Ye Zhen’s face changed, his eyes glaring furiously at Ye Fan.

"To be frank, extending your life involves two steps. First, in a while, I’ll perform the ’Heaven-defying Fate Changing Technique’ to increase your yang lifespan, but according to ancient books, this technique can only let you live an additional year at most," Ye Fan said expressionlessly, cutting off Ye Zhen and slowly telling Ye Yuanshan.

"What’s the second step?"

The anger on Ye Zhen’s face vanished, replaced by nervousness.

Obviously... he knew very well that if Ye Yuanshan only lived for an additional year, it wouldn’t solidify the overall situation—the beginning of next year would be the time to solidify it, and if Ye Yuanshan departed before then, the arranged situation could be overturned!

Even Ye Zhen knew this point, what more of Ye Yuanshan himself?

Under the light, Ye Yuanshan also watched Ye Fan with a tense expression, waiting for what Ye Fan would say next.

"After I use the Heaven-defying Fate Changing Technique to extend your life, in the following year, I will travel across the land to seek various medicinal herbs to concoct the legendary ’Lifespan Extension Pill.’ As long as you take the Lifespan Extension Pill, I can’t promise you will live for decades more, but you will have nothing to fear for your life in the next ten years!" Ye Fan revealed the solution.

Ten years?!

Upon hearing this, joy surged in Ye Yuanshan and Ye Zhen’s hearts, then they also understood what Ye Fan meant by ’If I can prolong your life, I can also end it’—if Ye Yuanshan dared to renege, Ye Fan wouldn’t provide the Lifespan Extension Pill, and all efforts would have been in vain.

"You previously mentioned that the recent incidents would besmirch my father’s reputation and give the Ye Family’s adversaries an angle for attack, but you don’t have to worry about that."

Seeing that neither Ye Yuanshan nor Ye Zhen made a noise, Ye Fan continued, "I have already reached an agreement with Yan. He will find a way to make my actions seem legal, reasonable, and compliant."

"Uh..."

Upon hearing Ye Fan’s words again, Ye Yuanshan secretly marveled at Ye Fan’s shrewd tactics, saying, "This could be considered fooling the public, making ordinary people believe, not tarnishing Wenhao’s reputation, but it’s utterly incapable of deceiving those within the game."

"That’s why I asked you to end Ye Wenhai’s official career."

Ye Fan smiled slightly, "If you treat Ye Wenhai as a disposable piece, presumably neither the pawns nor the higher-ups in this game will have anything to say, right?"

Ye Yuanshan and Ye Zhen were rendered speechless, various levels of surprise showing on their faces, as it seemed they hadn’t expected Ye Fan to have already grasped the art of compromise and balance in political intrigue.

"You shouldn’t be surprised, since I learned it all from you."

Noticing the surprise on Ye Yuanshan and Ye Zhen’s faces, Ye Fan continued to smile.

"——"

Without responding, Ye Yuanshan and Ye Zhen both felt that Ye Fan’s smile was like that of a demon, sending shivers down their spines.

"Let’s do as you suggest."

It must be said that Ye Yuanshan, who had stood at the pinnacle of Huaxia for so many years, was not there by chance. After a brief shock, he made a decisive decision without any hesitation, agreeing to Ye Fan’s terms.

"Now that it’s settled, our conversation can end."

Ye Fan wasn’t surprised by the outcome, but said, "The Heaven-defying Fate Changing Technique is too conspicuous to be performed inside the room. Have someone carry you downstairs."

"Should I disperse the people around?" asked Ye Zhen, knowing that Ye Yuanshan’s revival was a significant matter that was best kept confidential.

"No need."

Ye Fan looked at Ye Zhen as if he were an idiot and said indifferently, "If I can’t even keep a secret, how can I talk about reviving him?"

Embarrassed, Ye Zhen wisely chose to remain silent.

"Swoosh——"

Without further ado, Ye Fan’s mind moved, and the Ghost Ring detached from his finger, floating in front of him.

"Swipe!"

Immediately afterward, a Xuanye Flying Knife flew out from the sleeves of Ye Fan, slicing open the middle finger of his right hand.

Ye Fan’s consciousness stirred, his bodily energy surged, and he forced out a drop of blood that was almost transparently red from his fingertip, merging it into the Ghost Ring.

Having done all this, Ye Fan’s hands moved rapidly, forming a series of phantoms, performing the ’Mysterious Formation’ seals.

"Heaven and Earth divide yin and yang, yin and yang transform into the Five Elements, with the Five Elements in reverse, all things are but illusions—Swiftly!"

Seconds later, as Ye Fan shouted, the sealing was complete, and five rays of red light shot out from the Ghost Ring, shooting towards the heavens.

In an instant.

At that moment, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi above Hospital 301 dramatically fluctuated, cascading down like a waterfall from the sky, completely enveloping the inner courtyard.

"Didn’t he say it wasn’t suitable to revive the old man in the room?"

Although Ye Zhen wasn’t a cultivator, he could tell that Ye Fan had just used a magic technique, looking puzzled.

"Xuanji, your disciple’s performance is about to begin."

Meanwhile, outside on the courtyard of the inner building, Yan laughed, "To perform the ’Heaven-defying Fate Changing’ technique at the Innate Realm, if he succeeds, he will become the first of all time!"
