C23 Innocent

"Wow!"

Seeing Ye Yunshuang escaping far away, Ye Ling's expression suddenly changed, he spat out blood and dropped to his knees.

It turned out it was not that Ye Ling didn't want to kill him, it was just that when he clashed with Wu Yi just now, he had released too much power and was severely injured by Wu Yi's attack, causing him to be unable to continue fighting.

"Li Wushuang, Ye Yunshuang, just you wait, if I, Ye Ling do not die, I will definitely shatter your souls!"

The battle today had nearly cost him his life, and Wu Yi's strength was terrifying. If not for him comprehending the essence of the Form and Will Boxing and comprehending the last profound move, it would have been impossible for him to turn the tide and win.

Ye Ling raised his head to look at the sky. It was not early, and there were only two days left of the seven-day deadline. He had to return to the Ye Family as soon as possible and wipe the blood off the corner of his mouth.

Qingyang City, Ye Family manor.

When the Book Reserve Pavilion approached, the Ye Family's Clan Elder s all appeared, their expressions were all strange.

"What should I do?"

"City Lord Li Wushuang has been crippled, the Zi Xiao Emperor has sent people over to my Ye Family!"

Ever since the City Lord Li Wushuang had been crippled, these Clan Elder s had been worrying about provoking trouble all the time.

Just yesterday, City Lord Li Wushuang reported the Ye Family to the Zi Xiao Emperor, and now that the Special Envoy of the Zi Xiao Emperor was here, he was led by Li Wushuang to rush to the Ye Family.

The various Clan Elder s were instantly in a mess as they came to the Book Reserve Pavilion together, hoping to meet the Patriarch Ye Yunhua. The trouble was that this father and son duo naturally had to bear the burden.

"Ye Yunlie, we pay our respects to Elder Li for an important matter. I would like to trouble Elder Li to come forward and meet us!"

Hearing Ye Yunting's words, Ye Yunlie became somewhat anxious. He looked at the tightly shut door, stood out and clasped his fists, and said loudly.

"I beg Elder Li to show himself!"

Seeing Ye Yunlie's actions, the various Clan Elder s looked at each other, then cupped their fists and bowed at the door, begging for an audience. Although they did not know Elder Li's identity, none of them dared to offend him.

"Go back!"

"There are still two days. If Ye Ling does not return to the Ye Clan, I will not hand him over to you."

In the face of the Clan Elder's request, he did not buy it, because he had always been a man of his word.

"This?"

Zi Xiao Emperor was not a child's play, once they offended Zi Xiao Emperor, not to mention them, the entire Ye Family would not be able to escape death.

"Report!"

"Various Clan Elder, City Lord Li Wushuang has led the Special Envoy of the Zi Xiao Emperor into the Ye Family, and is currently heading towards the Book Reserve Pavilion!"

Just as the Clan Elder were at a loss for what to do, someone suddenly came to report. Instead, it caused the Clan Elder's expression to change greatly.

"What should I do?"

"Ye Yunhua has gone into seclusion, and Ye Ling's whereabouts are unknown, who will be the one to take the blame?"

Ye Yunting's expression froze for a moment, and he revealed a dejected look on his face as he looked at the surrounding Clan Elder. Naturally, he did not want to be dragged into this mess when facing the envoy of the Imperial Court.

While the various Clan Elder were panicking, they saw that outside the courtyard, Li Wushuang's face was filled with killing intent, and together with a man dressed in purple, he was swaggering towards Book Reserve Pavilion.

The purple robed man was the envoy of Zi Xiao Emperor. His name was "Zheng Hong", and he exuded an arrogant aura, his eyes were wide open, his temperament was extraordinary, and his aura was majestic and his cultivation had reached the ninth level of the Astral Reaching Stage.

Behind Li Wushuang and Zheng Hong, there were five other guards with blades, all of their faces were cold, all of their cultivation had already reached Yuanyuan Stage, one look was enough to tell that they did not come with good intentions.

"We pay our respects to the great envoy, the City Lord!"

The Ye Family's Clan Elder's expression was anxious, seeing City Lord Li Wushuang leading the envoy, they hurried forward to greet him, and no one dared to face Zheng Hong and Li Wushuang.

"Humph!" The envoy came in person, but your Ye Clan did not go out to receive him. Could it be that you are looking down on the envoy? "

City Lord Li Wushuang shouted right in front of his head as he glared coldly at the Ye Family Clan Elder s. He did not hold back at all, because today, he wanted the Ye Family to completely disappear from the face of the Qingyang City.

"City lord, please calm your anger. We did not know that the envoy was here personally. We beg of you, please forgive us!"

All the Clan Elder's expression changed greatly as they all knelt down to plead for mercy. They knew that the current City Lord, Li Wushuang, was here to denounce him. Since the Ye Family's status was not preserved, they naturally did not dare offend Li Wushuang again.

"Humph!" Don't talk rubbish with me, call Ye Yunhua out. As the head of the Ye Family, he did not come out to pay respects to the envoy.

City Lord Li Wushuang snorted coldly, his eyes narrowing slightly as he stared at the Clan Elder s kneeling on the ground, his voice loud and clear.

"This?"

Each of the Clan Elder s revealed an expression of panic. However, they did not know how to answer Mayor Li Wushuang's question. They looked at each other, and in the end, with Ye Yunting as the leader, their gazes rested on the door of the Book Reserve Pavilion.

City Lord Li Wushuang's face was gloomy, seeing that the Clan Elder was silent, he turned to look at Book Reserve Pavilion, his expression strange, and turned to look at Special Envoy Zheng Hong.

Zheng Hong looked at Xiao Leng, and did not say anything, when City Lord Li Wushuang looked at him, Zheng Hong frowned and turned to look at the closed door of Book Reserve Pavilion, then immediately shouted out the order: "Kick down the door, I want to see, who else dares to be so bold as to not put me, Zheng Hong, in their eyes!"

"Yes sir!"

Hearing Zheng Hong's orders, the five blade guards behind him cupped their fists and acknowledged him. Then, they all stood out and closed the doors, and took action at the same time without showing any mercy.

"What?"

Seeing that someone was about to break through the Book Reserve Pavilion's gate, they all felt fear. They wanted to open their mouths to stop them, but when they thought of Zheng Hong, the envoy, they all had no choice but to swallow their anger.

Boom! *

The five guards with sabers simultaneously kicked open the door. Each of them instantly charged into the storage room with ice-cold expressions on their faces.

Bang bang!

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Just as Zheng Hong and the rest were looking at the inside of the Book Reserve Pavilion, the five guards who were charging in suddenly screamed, as though they were all kites with their strings cut, they flew out the door in an instant and curled themselves up on the ground and cried out in pain.

"What?!"

Zheng Hong and Li Wushuang's faces immediately turned ugly. Seeing the five Yuanyuan Stage s being thrown out of the door, they immediately realised that there were experts guarding inside the Book Reserve Pavilion.

"It's Elder Li?"

The Ye Family's Clan Elder s all revealed expressions of shock as they sucked in a breath of cold air. Seeing that the experts who had charged into the Book Reserve Pavilion were all lucky, they naturally knew who it came from.

"Milord, what should we do?"

City Lord Li Wushuang's face was ashen as he turned to look at Zheng Hong. Right now, Zheng Hong was the strongest, so of course he would place all his hopes on Zheng Hong.

"Who are you? Why don't you come out and meet me?"

Zheng Hong's expression was ugly as the corners of his mouth twitched. To be able to injure five of his bodyguards with blades so easily, he naturally wouldn't underestimate such strength.

"People you cannot offend, I advise you to leave the Ye Family as soon as possible. Otherwise, I won't be polite!"

When Zheng Hong asked this question, Elder Li's voice suddenly rang out from within the Book Reserve Pavilion. The voice was ice-cold and had a threatening tone, causing people to feel terrified.

City Lord Li Wushuang's face turned pale, hearing the words of the person inside the door, he trembled in fear, and thought: When did the Ye Family have such a terrifying expert guarding them?

"What?" Aren't you being too arrogant? "

As long as you agree not to interfere in this matter, I guarantee that I won't make things difficult for you. But if you don't know what's good for you and make the Zi Xiao Emperor your enemy, no matter how powerful you are, don't think of leaving the Qingyang City alive! "

Zheng Hong was enraged, he did not even see the person, and was instead threatened. How could he leave just like that, as the envoy, what face did he have?

The elders of the Ye Family all looked nervous. The words of the special envoy from Zheng Hong made them feel like the sky was falling apart. Their faces were all covered in cold sweat as they looked anxiously at the Book Reserve Pavilion.

Just when everyone was silent and feeling the heavy atmosphere, a figure slowly walked out from the room. This person was an old man wearing a grey robe. His hair was white like snow and his face was wrinkled. His eyes were cloudy.

"Elder Li?"

When the Ye Family's Clan Elder saw the person who walked out, they all cupped their fists and bowed. This old man was "Elder Li", a person with another surname from the Ye Family. Even the Clan Elder s did not dare offend him.

"Why is there no elemental energy fluctuation in his body?"

When Elder Li appeared, Li Wushuang's expression changed greatly. He could not see through Elder Li's cultivation, but this made him feel fear. The more Elder Li acted this way, the more terrifying he felt Elder Li was.

Zheng Hong's face became gloomy, Elder Li's appearance gave him a sense of fear, but he did not believe that the huge Ye Family would have people who could not be provoked.

"Who the hell are you?"

"To obstruct my enforcement, this is openly making an enemy of the Zi Xiao Emperor!"

Zheng Hong asked in a deep voice, he sized Elder Li up with an unfriendly face, and was always on guard.

"Who am I? You don't deserve to know! "

"All of you get the f * ck out of Book Reserve Pavilion right now, or else this old man won't be polite!"

Elder Li's narrowed eyes suddenly widened as a sharp light flashed across them. A terrifying pressure was unknowingly emitted from within his body. A powerful current of air instantly exploded within his body.

Thump! Thump!

Zheng Hong and the others were pushed back at the same time, their faces revealed shock, their eyes opened wide as they looked at Elder Li, frightened to the point that their faces were as pale as paper.

"Such powerful strength, could it be that he?"

Zheng Hong was shocked. The aura that Elder Li was emitting was so strong that he couldn't even breathe. One could only imagine how terrifying this Elder Li was.

City Lord Li Wushuang had long been scared witless. As the City Lord of Qingyang City, he did not know that the Ye Family actually had such an existence.

"Ye Ling is back!"

"What?" Where is he? "

Just as everyone was startled by Elder Li to the point that no one dared to act rashly, someone from the crowd suddenly shouted. They only saw that not far from Book Reserve Pavilion, Ye Ling was walking towards him.

"Oh?"

Elder Li frowned, and looked towards the back of the crowd. Seeing Ye Ling's return, he revealed a sly smile, "It was earlier than I expected."
