Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens

The Ye Lin Empire has been passed down for ten thousand years and is the longest-lasting hegemon in the continent. With the accumulation of years, the national strength of the empire is constantly growing, and various ills are also accumulating.

These ills have gradually accumulated with the continuous development of the empire, so it is almost impossible to completely eliminate them, because the ills have been integrated with the empire itself. At least any lord will not choose to shake the foundation of the country to eliminate these ills.

Lord Ye Shan himself is a person with a long-term vision and a meticulous mind. Although he is well aware of the various ills accumulated in the empire, he also knows that these are problems that cannot be touched lightly.

If he really takes action on these problems, the empire may have been severely damaged before the ills are eliminated. It is impossible for a person to completely cut off a hand because of a sore on the palm. The same principle applies to an empire.

Not taking action to eliminate the ills does not mean that the lord has not thought about this problem. When he was with Xiao Yue, he had imagined that once the empire underwent a major change, it would be both a crisis for the empire and an opportunity for the empire.

At that time, Xiao Yue did not understand the meaning of the king's words at all, so Ye Shan explained to Xiao Yue seriously. He first imagined the situation when an empire encountered a serious crisis, and what methods could be used to deal with the crisis.

Especially when the imperial capital was besieged and everyone was unable to cope with it, the final means was to launch the Tianhe Inverted Array. When talking about the last means, Ye Shan specifically mentioned a means, which was to use the Tianhe Inverted Array to carry out a major purge of the current super families Zuo Feng.

At that time, Xiao Yue was at a loss, not understanding why Ye Shan did this, and even more not understanding how to purge these families through the array.

At that time, Ye Shan, who had nothing to do, explained patiently, first introduced some characteristics of the array, and then talked about how to use the array rules to make these families violate the rules for their own selfishness, and then be restricted by the rules, forcing them to do it themselves, so as to achieve the purpose of purging the family.

With the continuous development, these super families grew together with the Ye Lin Empire. Because they were the pillar families of the founding of the country, the Ye Lin Empire has always given the greatest care to these families, especially every year it has to spend a lot of financial resources to support these big families.

And these big families are still using their power to develop industries in various places in the Ye Lin Empire. Such super families, no matter where they are, are not something that ordinary families can compete with.

For example, the Wanguo Auction House in Xinxu County, the family behind it is the powerful Zeng family. This trading house, not to mention the city lord Jiang Xin, even the county governor Linlang, dare not offend.

These super families have so many problems, and the family has been developing without planning and restraint for countless years, and finally reached its own bloated state, with various branches that cannot be cut off. The idea of ​​the state lord Ye Shan is to use the Tianhe inverted formation to let these families cut off their "redundant" branches.

In the process of the development of these families, many branches are not because of their own excellence, but because of their good relationship with the main family, and even they have no motivation for development. Like a blood-sucking worm, they attach to these families and constantly extract "resources".

If they were extracting those super families, Ye Shan could ignore it, but these families have developed to the present, and those branches or vassal families are constantly extracting resources, all of which belong to the Ye Lin Empire.

Emperor Shan cannot easily attack any family, because hurting these branches and vassal families is equivalent to directly establishing conflicts with these families, which has too many hidden dangers to the stability of the empire and will inevitably touch the foundation of the empire.

However, when the imperial capital encounters danger, as long as the current special situation and the characteristics of the formation are used, the "knife" can be handed to each family. This knife can be called a "slaughter knife", but it can also be called a "healing knife" at the same time.

Looking at everything that happened in front of him and analyzing the hidden story, Ye Tao's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but have a deep admiration for his father Ye Shan.

When the imperial capital was in trouble today, it was extremely difficult to make up his mind to launch the Tianhe Upside-down Array. It is absolutely impossible to think of using this crisis to do other things, especially planning the reconstruction of the empire in the future.

But father Ye Shan really made preparations in advance. Before the crisis happened, he had planned everything for today.

With admiration for his father Ye Shan in his heart, Ye Tao was even more curious about how these families would deal with the current situation. Many of them showed a look of wanting to speak but stopping. They subconsciously wanted to discuss with Xiao Yue, but when they saw Xiao Yue's expression, they swallowed the words on their lips with a distorted face.

Xiao Yue did not blame them for not obeying her orders, and how to solve the contradiction in front of them was entirely up to each family to decide.

If you want to save the low-level clansmen, you have to sacrifice the lives of the peak of the Yuqi period and the Ningnian period. If you don't want to lose the backbone of these families, you must lose the low-level clansmen.

It doesn't look complicated. There are only two options. Choosing one side means losing the other. But this choice is the most painful and difficult for any family.

Because he understood this truth, Ye Tao admired Ye Lei from the Ye family very much. From the perspective of the Ye family, even though the other party is similar to himself in age, he still calls Ye Lei "Uncle".

This young man's appearance was not surprising, but after what he said, the Ye family, which consisted of more than a thousand people, suddenly became quiet. It can be seen that many people in the team have ugly expressions. It seems that according to Ye Lei's standards, they are the ones who will be left behind.

However, most of the people close to the core of the team couldn't help but nodded. It was obvious that they all agreed with Ye Lei's proposal from the bottom of their hearts.

Like other families, although they are one big family, the family is divided into several branches. In addition to the blood relationship, the relationship between them will become closer if they move around frequently.

After these people discussed, an old man finally stood up and said: "I have no respect for the great elder, but Ye Lei, you are not the great elder of my Ye family, so I cannot accept your proposal. If according to what you said, , shouldn’t most of the people in my family have to give up? How can a family just give up on its people?”

Seeing someone speaking, someone else immediately stood up and said, "Yes, Uncle Ye Liang is right, and I don't agree with your proposal. Some people may enter the country more slowly at the beginning. How can we limit their future because of this?" Achievements, so rashly deciding between life and death.

There are also many strong men in the clan. Although they are old, many of them suffered serious injuries while performing tasks for the family, which delayed their cultivation. The family should have taken care of these people, so how could they be abandoned at this time? Who would still be willing to work for the family? "

"You are so right. Why can you decide life and death with just one word? These people are all members of the Ye clan, and there are many clansmen with much more pure blood than you. They are all descendants of the ancestors of the Ye clan who founded the country. , are you going to let them die in the Imperial Mountain built by our ancestors and refuse to give them a chance to survive just because of your words?"

The first person to speak was still a little hesitant, but gradually more and more people spoke, and their behavior became more and more rude. Eventually, they even began to point their fingers clearly at Ye Lei.

In response to such changes, several other families seemed to have suddenly become energetic. Obviously, the conflicts displayed by the Ye family are roughly the same as those of other families. These people all want to see how the Ye family will resolve them in the end.

Moreover, compared with the Ye family and the Xiao family, the number of people transferred out from other major families is still much smaller, and they have one idea in mind.

‘If you Ye Xiao family are willing to lose a large number of strong men and transfer low-level warriors, then we can also spend a lot of money. If you can really abandon a large number of low-level warriors, then we can also follow your example. Anyway, compared to the Ye family and the Xiao family, even if our losses are still much smaller. ’

Ye Lei's reaction made Ye Tao even more interested. Faced with the pressing attitude of several elders in the clan, he was able to remain calm and did not speak to defend himself, but remained silent. Listen and let those who disagree have their say.

After only waiting for a moment, everyone had already said the same thing. Although the reasons were somewhat different, the purpose was exactly the same, that is, they did not want to lose people of their own lineage. Some don't want to lose their lower-level tribesmen, and some don't want to get close to their strong men and sacrifice them.

Nodding slightly, Ye Lei turned around calmly and asked: "Second uncle, after we received the order from the king and Mrs. Xiao Yue, have we prepared the corresponding number of people as required?"

A middle-aged man in the team was stunned for a moment, but then he nodded and replied: "Before we withdrew from the family as required, we had already selected the corresponding people, but the subsequent withdrawal process "There are too many people joining temporarily."

Ye Lei nodded to indicate that he understood, then turned to look at the Ye family team, and said: "Since it is the order of the king and Mrs. Xiao Yue, my Ye family will naturally not turn a deaf ear to it. The four hundred people initially selected, as well as the preparations Those who are strong enough to sacrifice themselves, please enter the great formation.”

"What do you mean?"

"Don't you want to give up on us all?"

"Ye Lei, you are not Ye Hongcheng. The life and death of our Ye family cannot be decided by a word like a child with a yellow mouth like you!"

"..."

Immediately there were voices of dissatisfaction and anger among the crowd. They seemed to be much more excited than before. Some people even stepped towards Ye Lei while talking, as if they were going to take action at the next moment.

Slowly raising his hands and pressing down, Ye Lei said with a peaceful smile on his face: "I think you uncles may have misunderstood. The people I just mentioned are the people the family is ready to leave. Of course This includes those who are willing to sacrifice.

You have all heard what Mrs. Xiao Yue said just now. There is an advantage to this formation. There is no upper limit on the number of people who can be teleported away. As long as someone is willing to sacrifice, it doesn't matter how many children of the clan are sent away. "

After a pause, Ye Lei walked into the formation with a faint smile. There was a faint chill in the smile on his face, and said slowly: "Of course I hope that everyone present can be sent away safely!"
