Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens

Judging from his age, Ye Shan's strength is actually not weak. He had reached the Yu Nian stage more than a few years ago. In terms of cultivation talent, he can be regarded as the most outstanding one among the previous kings of Ye Lin.

Ye Shan was designated as the heir to the country's leader when he was still a boy. He practiced very hard. From his teens to his thirties, his strength improved rapidly step by step. Even after becoming the country's leader, Ye Shan still used most of his abilities. Focus your energy on practice.

Although the empire arranged for him to have more than a dozen women according to tradition, in the first many years when he became the head of the country, he was not able to give birth to a son and a half daughters. Ye Shan didn't take this too seriously. Instead, he adopted the only son of an old subordinate who had followed his father for many years and made countless contributions as a backup candidate for the future leader of the country.

The reason why he is just a "backup" candidate is because of the ancient tradition of the empire. As a huge and ancient empire, it must ensure that the Ye Palace has a legal owner no matter what happens. Then a nominal successor becomes very important. Of course, his role is actually only for the stability of the empire.

After all, Hayama still has a long life. If there is no unexpected successor, he will still be just a "successor" even for thousands of years.

This "spare" successor to the throne is Ye Chan. Regardless of his surname or given name, he was personally given by Ye Shan. Only many years later, Ye Shan suddenly announced that he had his own heir. No one even knew who the woman who gave birth to an heir for the empire was. But from the day Ye Shan announced it, the Ye Lin Empire directly had an heir. A successor to the country was selected, and his name was Ye Tao.

Today, the two successors have grown up quietly. Ye Chan is slightly older and is now close to thirty years old, while Ye Tao just turned seventeen three months ago.

At this time, the two people standing behind the throne of Ye Shan are the two future successors of the current Ye Lin Empire. If only from the surface, the two people are brothers and sisters, but they have a little understanding of their relationship. Everyone knows that they almost never move around in private, let alone communicate.

In recent years, Ye Shan has gradually become aware of the subtle relationship between his two princes, so he will deliberately let them attend public events together, with the purpose of helping them ease their relationship.

Ye Shan's words were like a pebble thrown into a swamp. Not only did the pebble disappear quickly, it didn't even make a ripple. The entire hall still looked lifeless.

Ye Shan couldn't help turning his head and glanced at the leafhopper behind him. Seeing Ye Shan looking at him, Ye Chan immediately said: "The change in the Acropolis was too sudden. I believe that the empire should make plans and act accordingly. We must not act too hastily. Several loyal ministers of the empire will definitely come up with satisfactory countermeasures."

Hearing what Ye Chan said, Ye Shan frowned unconsciously. Originally, Ye Shan would regard Ye Chan as the successor of the country's leader because he had been very optimistic about him since he was young. Not only did he have excellent cultivation talent , and has been smart since childhood.

In addition, since his biological father passed away, there is no powerful family behind him. There is no need to worry that Ye Chan will be influenced by his original family when he succeeds as the leader of the country in the future. However, after his biological son was born, Ye Chan's status became subtle, which also caused his whole person to gradually change.

Not only did he act very cautiously, but he also gave Hayama a sense of aloofness. Just like the answer just now, it seemed almost perfect on the surface, but not a single word touched the point. Instead, the question was cleverly thrown back to Hayama.

Helplessly, he withdrew his gaze from Ye Chan and then looked at his youngest son. Seeing Ye Shan looking at him, Ye Tao immediately replied: "The Acropolis issue must be resolved as soon as possible. Even if the strongest means are used, it must be quelled as soon as possible. Even if such a big matter is temporarily blocked, sooner or later it will spread. Therefore, to completely calm down the affairs of the Acropolis before the empire is affected by it, I suggest that Uncle Ye Meng, er... Master Ye Meng, take charge."

After hearing what Ye Tao said, Ye Shan's eyebrows immediately frowned deeper. His son's personality was somewhat similar to his own. He tends to act more casually, do whatever comes to his mind, and say whatever he thinks in his heart without any scruples.

He had warned him several times not to allow him to call Ye Meng uncle in public, but Ye Tao never remembered and often made slips of the tongue in public. Moreover, because Ye Tao had the best relationship with Ye Meng, in this situation, he had no scruple in asking Ye Meng to take charge of solving the Acropolis matter.

Staring at Ye Tao, Ye Shan said with a slightly dissatisfied tone: "Ye Meng is both the master of the Shaoyu Palace and the elder of the Elders' House. With such an important position, how can he be allowed to go and solve the problem? Trouble at the Acropolis.”

Being scolded by Ye Shan in person, Ye Tao didn't care too much and returned to his original position without any care. Anyway, it was Yeshan who asked him to express his opinion just now, so he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him.

Originally, he wanted to use this incident to observe his two sons, but one was as smooth as "oil" and the other was as straightforward as "water", which made Ye Shan feel helpless.

His eyes returned to the main hall, this time he looked past Ye Meng and the Great Soul Sacrifice beside him, and looked at the other people below.

Among the two high priests, the earth priest Weng Ben, although he usually acted very calmly at this time and rarely stood out in such situations, this time he took a step forward and spoke first.

"The incident in the Acropolis has caused chaos, and strong men must be dispatched as soon as possible to quell it. In addition, Blizzard has joined forces with the Tianping Mountains. If the tiger returns to the mountains now, it will inevitably backfire in the future. My suggestion is to stabilize the situation in the Acropolis first. Then they mobilized a large number of strong men to enter the Tianping Mountains to encircle and suppress them."

After taking a deep look at Weng Ben, Ye Shan nodded and said: "Weng Ben, you are rarely so excited. I know that Zhu Tao's death has greatly touched your sacrificial hall. After all, it is so difficult to mobilize a large number of strong men to completely encircle and suppress the Tianping Mountains. Major events cannot be deployed in a short time.”

Hearing what Ye Shan said, Weng Ben's face became even more rosy with excitement. He raised his head and said, "Master, although I, Weng Ben, have a good personal relationship with Zhu Tao, I would never dare to abandon public service for personal reasons. What I said is absolute It’s not about revenge, it’s about getting rid of the biggest hidden danger for the empire.”

Ye Shan looked at Weng Ben but did not speak immediately, but was reconsidering the suggestion made by Weng Ben before. Just at this time, standing opposite Weng Ben, a middle-aged man wearing a black robe said: "High Priest Weng Ben, don't you think your words are a bit alarmist?"

"Oh, it's Mo Wu who is offering sacrifices to souls, so what's your opinion?" Weng Ben frowned and looked sharply at the middle-aged man opposite, who was none other than the soul offering master Mo Wu.

This man has weird tattoos on his face, and the fine patterns are all over his face, making it impossible to distinguish his original appearance. If you stare at his face for a while, you will feel that your eyes are attracted by the patterns on his face. , giving a weird feeling of being swallowed directly.

Of course, with Weng Ben's cultivation in the Yu Nian period, it would not be affected. His eyes were fixed on Mo Wu, obviously asking the other party to immediately give reasons for opposing him.

Seeing the tit-for-tat confrontation between Soul Sacrifice Master Mo Wu and Earth Sacrifice Weng Ben below, Ye Shan showed a relaxed smile on his face and slowly leaned back on the chair, looking very interested.

As the leader of the huge Ye Lin Empire, Ye Shan does not reject fights among his subordinates. As long as such fights can be controlled within a reasonable range, he will not intervene. Sometimes, he would even deliberately add fuel to the flames, which is also a way for those in power to control their subordinates.

Mo Wu did not speak immediately, but paused for a moment. Seeing that the king did not express his position, he said: "You have seen the information, a monster that has just been promoted to the eighth level and completed its transformation, plus a Blizzard. That's it. With these powers, we, the Yelin Empire, need to launch huge forces to clear out the Tianping Mountains? Don’t you think this is a bit excessive?”

"Passed? Nearly half of the Acropolis was destroyed, and the Benxiao Pavilion and the Yu Pavilion suffered heavy losses. Even Wu Tiandu, the master of the Yu Pavilion, was killed. Now Zheng Lu is seriously injured and in retreat, and Zhu Tao is killed by the opponent. The situation has reached this point. Invest in It’s too much to use more force to clear out the Tianping Mountains.”

The more Weng Ben talked, the more excited he became. Apart from his personal relationship with Zhu Tao, after learning about the Acropolis, he made up his mind to attack the Tianping Mountains with all his strength.

Compared to Weng Ben's excitement, Yunlida beside him was calmer. She slowly pulled out a piece of khaki paper from her sleeve. Those present could clearly tell with just one glance that the paper belonged exclusively to the Ye Lin Empire's Communication Hall.

Some people were a little surprised when Yun Lida took out the summons paper, including Ye Shan and Ye Tao. On the contrary, the expressions of others present were calm and they seemed not surprised by this.

"Almost half a month ago, we received a summons from Licheng, but the person who summoned him at that time should not be the city lord, but the governor Boka. The distress message he sent at that time requested that the chief priest take people to Licheng support.

It was because of the subpoena I received that I forwarded the news to Shinkari County. What happened in Licheng was also described in regular reports from various places later. Licheng was almost completely destroyed, and nearly two hundred warriors from Yu Pavilion were buried in the eight-door locking formation.

I proposed to pay attention to this matter at that time, but unfortunately it was not taken seriously at all. Everything in the Acropolis now is a repeat of Li City. Now that things have reached this point, shouldn't we put all our efforts into encircling and suppressing the Tianping Mountains? "

After saying that, Yunlida sent out a hint of feminine power from her hands, and the yellow paper in her palms slowly flew towards Ye Shan.

Ye Chan, who was standing behind Hayama, squinted his eyes and looked at the yellow paper flying towards Hayama. He had known this information a long time ago, and Fujikata had specially handled the information. Although it was finally reported to Shinkari County, But it was not taken seriously at all. None of the high priests personally dealt with it, and this was the scene where Benxiao Pavilion suffered serious losses.

Ye Chan didn't care about the loss of Li City, and was even happy to see the sacrificial hall being attacked. Instead, he was concerned about how the empire responded to the current situation in the Acropolis. His eyes inadvertently glanced down, but they landed on Mo Wen, another soul-sacrifice master, who was also looking at him with a smile.
