Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens

Many people cannot understand the great elder Ye Hongcheng, even those ordinary low-level warriors of the Ye family. They can neither understand the great elder's actions at that time, nor understand the pain and suffering in the heart of the great elder.

But the state lord Ye Shan, and the elders of the elders' council, they have a deep understanding of the pain of the great elder.

You should know that Ye Muyang was just like Xiao Kuangzhan today. He was valued for his amazing talent when he was young. Later, he cultivated and grew up step by step, and became a powerful fighting force of the empire step by step.

Originally, when Ye Muyang rose, the Ye family was very excited at first. At that time, the power of the Ye family had reached a state of spatial concentration, and the entire empire had almost become a one-man show of the Ye family, as if the glory of the Ye family when the Ye Lin Empire was just established had been restored.

However, as Ye Muyang gradually became stronger and power continued to concentrate on him, new problems emerged. Ye Muyang's strength began to gradually threaten the status and prestige of the state lord, because he was also a member of the Ye family, and Ye Muyang was the great elder of the elders' council. He could influence the state lord's decision in many cases.

Originally, the Council of Elders and the Great Elder were a kind of constraint on the king, so that when the king himself was incompetent or made mistakes, there would be someone to help him correct the chaos.

However, when the Council of Elders was controlled by one person, the original setting of these rules instead fulfilled the expansion of the power of the Great Elder. Especially Ye Muyang at that time, he almost unified the Council of Elders, and even recruited most of the strong men in the Sacrifice Hall and the Sacrifice Soul Hall into his hands.

So there was a saying at that time, "The king's order does not leave the front hall", which means that the scope of the king's management is only this hall. As the king of an empire, it is really pitiful.

At that time, Ye Hongcheng was a generation younger than Ye Muyang, so he did not belong to Ye Muyang's faction, so he could more objectively understand the impact of Ye Muyang's step-by-step growth on the empire. At the same time, he also foresaw the future of the empire. If Ye Muyang continued to grow and develop, not only would the king of the empire be completely hollowed out, but the entire empire would also fall into turmoil.

For the sake of the Ye Lin Empire and the empire of the Ye family, after Ye Hongcheng grew up, he secretly contacted the strong men in the family and finally lured Ye Hongcheng to a place of absolute killing. He used the great formation and the lives of countless strong men to eliminate the number one person in the Ye Lin Empire at that time.

However, after Ye Hongcheng was eliminated, in order to help the king regain and consolidate power, it was just to eliminate Ye Muyang's followers, and the butcher knife was raised high. Thousands of people were killed in that purge.

After the incident of Ye Muyang, not only the vitality of the Ye family was greatly damaged, but also the vitality of the empire. To this day, Ye Muyang's influence is still continuing, including the king Ye Shan, who will deliberately let the Sacrifice Hall and the Sacrifice Soul Hall oppose each other, and the Elders' Council and the Shaoyu Palace divide the power between each other, just to prevent any party from dominating.

In addition, not long after Xiao Kuangzhan rose, the Elders' Council decided to let the king marry Xiao Yue of the Xiao family. Even if he had never met her, Ye Shan still agreed after consideration.

All these are related to Ye Muyang back then, but for the Ye family, they can't forget that when Ye Muyang just rose, the whole family and empire were thriving, and even many people at that time had set their sights on the mainland, hoping that the Ye family could establish a super empire that ruled the Kunxuan Continent.

However, all this ended in the hands of Ye Hongcheng and a group of people. Ye Hongcheng thought he had a clear conscience, but he was guilty of committing a crime at that time, and he also destroyed the possibility of the Ye family's strong rise.

But people at that time didn't see that everything he did was because he valued the inheritance of the Ye family and the balance of the empire itself, which was the foundation of Ye Lin's tens of thousands of years of inheritance.

For the king, Ye Hongcheng did nothing wrong, but for a large part of the Ye family, they had a lot of complaints about Ye Hongcheng in their hearts. And over the years, Ye Hongcheng has been carrying the crime of attacking and killing the elder, and has been tormented to this day.

When Ye Hongcheng knew that this conspiracy was secretly planned by Gan Luo and that he was the descendant of Ye Muyang, the elder Ye Hongcheng had already decided to die.

But the elder did not want to die meaninglessly, and it happened that Ye Shan secretly sent a message to everyone, and they would retreat quickly after following the order. At that time, Ye Hongcheng had a plan to cover everyone's departure with his own life.

With his late-stage and even peak cultivation of controlling thoughts, Ye Hongcheng launched the violent disintegration with all his strength, which not only greatly improved his strength, but also caught Gan Luo and everyone else off guard.

Gan Luo was determined to keep Ye Shan, but Ye Hongcheng, who came out from the side, not only caught him off guard, but also directly caused Gan Luo to suffer heavy damage after the crazy operation of the violent disintegration.

Those ordinary warriors had no hesitation to get rid of the corpse puppets in front of them and retreated from the battlefield as much as possible. Although it was a bit difficult for the fourth, fifth and sixth elders, they were still able to force their opponents to retreat in a short time.

Yun Lida's retreat was probably the easiest among the crowd. She and Mo Wu were both very good at martial arts. So if she wanted to avoid fighting, it would be easy for her to leave the battle in a short period of time.

All the warriors who were retreating saw Ye Hongcheng's violent disintegration at this time, and of course they also clearly heard the conversation between him and the king.

At this moment, those who originally didn't understand the old man seemed to be able to understand the entanglement and pain in his heart, which had been torturing his heart for so many years. Although Ye Muyang was a tragedy, the great elder Ye Hongcheng was not in pain, and today he freed himself in this way.

With admiration for the great elder in their hearts, everyone followed Ye Shan's earlier instructions and quickly retreated towards the back mountain. Ye Shan, who got rid of Gan Luo, also slightly recovered some of his spiritual energy and telekinesis at this time, and swung two axes at Mo Wen and Mo Wu without hesitation, creating conditions for the retreat of his men.

Ye Shan was the last one among everyone to retreat, but the great elder Ye Hongcheng had no intention of leaving at all. His whole appearance changed when the violent energy disintegrated.

He was also of the fire attribute, but now he was violently activating his own attributes as the violent energy disintegrated. The flames burned crazily and burned both of his hands black. It can be seen that due to the disintegration of the violent energy, Ye Hongcheng has lost control. His two swords are wrapped in flames, and he even drags out a long flaming whip while swinging.

"Let's go! The Ye family needs you...the empire needs you...! As long as the faith does not fall, the empire will eventually be rebuilt one day!"

Ye Hongcheng, who was in the process of disintegrating after launching a violent attack, was still thinking about the future of the Ye Lin Empire while suffering tremendous pain. Many people, including Ye Shan, couldn't help but look deeply at Ye Hongcheng's back. In their eyes, the old and thin back looked so tall at this time, as if it was the imperial mountain that has stood for countless years. .

"The Ye family will not be destroyed, Ye Lin will not fall, and the empire will last forever!"

Ye Shan's distant and desolate voice spread far away. The voice seemed to have a special rhythm, as if it was sung according to an ancient tune.

Ye Hongcheng, who was fighting, suddenly focused his eyes. This was a war song compiled by the ancestors who founded the Ye Empire. It's just that too many years have passed, and the tune has long been forgotten by people, and now there are only a few lyrics.

However, Ye Shan roared out now, and in everyone's ears, it was as if the war song from back then had reappeared in the world. After Ye Shan's voice fell, I don't know who spoke first, "Ye's family... is immortal..."

"If Ye Lin doesn't fall, the empire will last forever..."

"Ye's family will not be destroyed, Ye Lin will not fall, and the empire will last forever! Ye's family will not be destroyed..."

When one person started singing loudly, others soon followed, and finally it became a chorus of shouts from all the people who were evacuating.

Ye Hongcheng, who had already activated his violent energy and disintegrated, and was destined to die, had tears in his eyes at this time. At the same time, he roared out the lyrics in a beast-like voice, following the rhythm of everyone.

Under such emotions, Ye Hongcheng's combat power improved again. At this time, Gan Luo's body was already broken. If it weren't for his special skills and the weird puppet control method he used, Ye Chang's body that he occupied at this time would not be able to fight at all.

Originally, he could barely resist, but when Ye Hongcheng's fighting power suddenly exploded, he couldn't resist it.

"Mo Wen, Mo Wu, help me deal with this old guy first. No,... control him first. How can I, this old immortal, let you die so easily!"

Gan Luo, who was embarrassed by Ye Hongcheng, gritted his teeth and issued orders at this time. Because Gan Luo was able to be attacked by Ye Hongcheng before, his body could no longer make a sound and could only use his soul power to issue orders.

Mo Wen and Mo Wu were originally going to hunt down those who escaped. After hearing Gan Luo's order, they did not dare to turn around without any hesitation and immediately flew towards Ye Hongcheng from both sides.

In terms of real cultivation, the strength of these two people is about the same as Ye Hongcheng's, but now the other party has activated violent energy to disintegrate, so if they want to control the other party, they have to work together.

Here Gan Luo, Mo Wen and Mo Wu are trying their best to control Ye Hongcheng, leaving only two semi-transformed monster corpse puppets, two human corpse puppets Shi Lan and Shi Huan, plus ordinary middle and lower class people. The army of corpse puppets is continuing to pursue them from behind.

They don't have any wisdom, they only know how to obey Gan Luo's orders, so as long as Gan Luo doesn't let them stop, these zombie puppets will continue to hunt them no matter where they end up.

There is also a large area at the top of Emperor Mountain. Everyone retreated all the way from the front hall. Without Gan Luo, Mo Wen, and Mo Wu, the other zombies were no longer a threat. Ye Shan and Yunlida took action without much effort. Just get rid of the two half-transformed monster corpse puppets that caught up first.

While they were retreating quickly, Ye Shan looked anxiously at the back mountain. With his eyesight now facing the setting sun, he could only vaguely see the flickering figures. They should be members of several families who had evacuated here according to his orders.

It's just that that's not what he cares about. What he cares more about is whether the final formation "Tianhe Hanging Upside Down" can operate smoothly. That is everyone's last hope.
