Chapter 328: Chapter 329: The Tragic Great Elder

"She’s in the royal family, and things are not going well for her..." the crow slowly began.

Ye Wudao clenched his fists; "Yueli, wait for me, I will definitely rescue you from the royal family!"

"How about it, I’m pretty impressive, aren’t I?" the crow said proudly.

Ye Wudao looked up at the crow and couldn’t help asking, "Can you really locate anyone?"

"Of course!" the crow raised his head proudly.

"My father has been missing for many years, neither alive nor found dead. Can you help figure out where he might be?" Ye Wudao asked excitedly.

"No big deal!" the crow said, but before it could spin around, its feathers began to fall one by one to the ground.

"No, no good, there’s an incredibly terrifying power blocking everything about the Northern King. Even if all my feathers fall off and I become an ugly bald crow, I can’t figure out the location of the Northern King..." the crow said in despair.

Hiss!

Ye Wudao drew in a sharp breath.

It seems that my father’s whereabouts really are shrouded in fog!

Accepting the reality, Ye Wudao simply sat down on the ground and closed his eyes to recharge.

"Hey, you brat, why won’t you go out?" the crow became anxious.

"The True Qi in this place is rich; now that I’m here, shouldn’t I absorb all the True Qi I can from this cave?" Ye Wudao said.

The crow forcibly suppressed the urge to leave; "Well, I, Uncle Crow, will wait for you..."

...

Time flew, five days later.

The forbidden area of the Ye family’s back mountain.

A group of Ye family experts gathered here.

"Family Head, the Great Elder brought an outsider here to the back mountain’s forbidden area and allowed that damned Ye Wudao to go to the Tongtian Bridge, disturbing the peace of our ancestors, which is a serious violation of our clan’s taboo!" Ye Hu said with a sinister expression.

Ye Long’s eyes intensely stared at the Great Elder; "Great Elder, is this true?"

The Great Elder gritted his teeth; "It’s true!"

Whoosh!

The whole place burst into an uproar!

The Ye family’s forbidden area strictly prohibits all outsiders, especially concerning the sacred Tongtian Bridge!

"Now the Great Elder is definitely done for!"

"The Family Head will never let the Great Elder off!"

"No matter if that kid dies or lives, the Great Elder has committed a great taboo!" Many of the Ye family’s strong figures felt pity, while others looked amused.

"Serves him right!"

"With the Great Elder gone, we’ll have a chance to become the next Great Elder!"

"Great Elder, you have betrayed the Ye family over and over again! There are laws in the country, and rules in the family. I, as the Family Head, absolutely cannot tolerate you!" Ye Long said cruelly, picking up the ghostvine whip; "According to clan rules, those who betray the Ye family shall endure fifty lashes and be exiled three thousand miles!"

Hiss!

The crowd drew in a sharp breath!

"Who could withstand fifty lashes from a ghostvine whip?"

"Forget a war king-level powerhouse; even an expert of the Battle Sect Realm would have his skin ripped apart and bones shattered, right?"

"The Great Elder is really doomed this time!"

The Great Elder gritted his teeth; "Family Head, I can leave, but my child..."

"Hehe, don’t worry, your child can still stay in the Ye family and enjoy the resources of the Ye family!" Ye Long said.

Upon hearing this, the Great Elder sighed with relief and bowed; "I am willing to accept the punishment!"

"Good!" Just as Ye Long was about to swing the whip, Ye Hu volunteered eagerly from the side; "Big brother!"

"I’ve said before, when we’re out, you must refer to me by my title!" Ye Long said coldly.

"Yes, Family Head, how could such a trivial matter bother you? Let me handle it!" Ye Hu suggested.

"Good!" Ye Long nodded, knowing in his heart that Ye Hu wanted to take revenge on the Great Elder. Since the Great Elder was already a dead man, why not let Ye Hu do it and take the blame!

"Great Elder, considering the many years we’ve known each other, I’ll go easy on you," said Ye Hu, his words mild but his actions brutally harsh as he fiercely lashed the whip across the Great Elder’s body.

Bang!

The ghost vine whip struck flesh as if clawed by a demon, the wound bleeding, pain piercing to the bone.

The Great Elder endured the pain, not making a sound.

Just then, the Great Elder’s relatives rushed over and upon seeing him being punished, they shouted, "Dad!"

"Grandpa, please don’t..."

Ye Hu swung the ghost vine whip again at the Great Elder, sneering, "Great Elder, aren’t you always so arrogant? Let me tell you, your backer, the North King, died long ago. In the Ye family, it’s my older brother Ye Long and my world!"

Bang!

Bang!

Under Ye Hu’s frenzied whipping, the Great Elder finally couldn’t bear it any longer, falling to his knees and covered in blood.

"Vice Family Head Ye Hu, please stop!"

"Please beat us instead!"

"You can kill me, just spare my father!" the Great Elder’s relatives pleaded as they knelt before Ye Hu, wailing continuously. One of them, a pregnant daughter-in-law, clung to Ye Hu’s legs.

"Great Elder, see what happens when you cross me?" Ye Hu sneered. Seeing a woman clinging to his leg, his face showed impatience as he kicked her away violently, "Get out of my way!"

"Ah!" The pregnant woman was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground, blood pooling beneath her.

She miscarried!

The scene fell silent, many of the faint-hearted covering their mouths with their hands!

"Ah ah ah, Ye Hu, you beast! How dare you harm my six-month pregnant daughter-in-law, I will kill you!" the Great Elder, kneeling and being punished, his eyes bloodshot with rage exploding like thunder and fire.

"Vice Family Head Ye Hu has gone too far!"

"You shouldn’t harm a pregnant woman!" Many of the Ye family members couldn’t bear it either.

Ye Hu, looking into the Great Elder’s eyes, felt some fear, but reassured by the Family Head’s support, he shouted as he raised the ghost vine whip, "Great Elder, I am merely enforcing the family law. Do you dare defy our rules?"

"To hell with your family rules, I’ll kill you!" The Great Elder, furious, charged at Ye Hu like a wounded beast.

Not good!

Ye Hu sensed trouble, and in that moment, Ye Long appeared in front of the Great Elder.

"How dare you!" Ye Long struck the Great Elder with a palm.

"Puh!" The Great Elder spat blood, his already injured body further worsened by Ye Long’s strike, and he fell to the ground, unable to move!

"Continue the punishment!" Ye Long said coldly.

"Yes!" Ye Hu, holding the ghost vine whip, approached the Great Elder, sneering, "Great Elder, feeling the pain and helplessness, huh? Haha, I won’t just beat you to death, I will exterminate your entire line!"

"Ye Hu, Ye Long, you brothers are cruel and inhumane, may you not die well!" the Great Elder cursed.

"Haha, save those words for the King of Hell because I’m about to send you on your way!" Ye Hu laughed viciously, cracking the whip harshly on the Great Elder again.

Many of the faint-hearted closed their eyes, unable to watch.

Bang!

A dull sound echoed.

Many Ye family members slowly opened their eyes, "The Great Elder should be dead by now?"

"With so many lashes and an attack from the Family Head, he must be dead now!"

Just then, a member of the Ye family screamed, "Look, everyone, that is..."

All the Ye family members turned to look, their pupils dilating, "He’s still alive!"
