Douluo's Golden Ox Divine Ax

Early the next morning, Niu Shengluo got up according to his usual habit. After having breakfast in Ye Mansion, Ye Lingling took Niu Shengluo for a stroll while explaining his childhood life to him.

It turns out that due to the loss of his father when he was six years old, Ye Lingling's life was not worrying about food and clothing, but he did survive under the guidance of others.

At that time, only Ye Jinji was playing with her. But at that time, they only had a brother-sister relationship.

Later, Ye Lingling found out that she and Ye Jin were engaged, but when she saw Ye Ruizhi's loving face, she always unconsciously wanted to stay away from him.

For this reason, Ye Lingling ran away from home and went to the Tiandou Empire Royal Academy to study, with the purpose of staying away from him; but he did not expect to meet Niu Shengluo in the academy.

It was with Niu Shengluo's company that Ye Lingling had the courage to come back and break off the engagement.

Seeing Ye Lingling's worried eyes, Niu Shengluo hugged her, patted her shoulder gently and said:

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything." The two of them chatted and hugged each other warmly.

Ye Ruizhi on the other side worked hard to visit the homes of seven elders, including Ye Feiyun.

However, several of the elders were vague and not as firm as before; but they did agree with Ye Ruizhi's proposal to hold a clan meeting.

Ye Ruizhi, who had visited seven households of elders in this way, immediately turned gloomy after entering his home.

"Sooner or later, this bunch of old guys will drive you all out." Ye Jin, who had been following him, stood aside very cautiously.

Seeing this, Ye Ruizhi said disgustedly: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and inform your uncles so that they must come back before the clan meeting.

Otherwise, just relying on the excuses of those old guys, maybe something else will happen at the clan meeting? "

After saying that, he motioned for Ye Jin to step back. After Ye Jin retreated, Ye Ruizhi let out several cold laughs, and at the same time a deep voice came:

"Do you think that you can maintain your power by remaining neutral? You are thinking too well."

In the next few days, no one returned to the island. Ye Lingling's original joyful mood due to the company of Niu Shengluo slowly sank with the arrival of everyone.

Finally one day, Niu Shengluo, Ye Lingling and Ye Mu were brought to a house next to a lake by a middle-aged man with facial paralysis.

On the way, I asked Niu Shengluo about Ye Lingling and found out that the middle-aged man was called Ye Yu and he was Ye Lingling's uncle.

After arriving at the lake, Niu Tongue Shengluo discovered that there were nine houses built around the lake. Seven of the houses on both sides were the exclusive houses of the elders, and the other was the exclusive house of the clan leader.

However, since no one has moved in since Ye Lingling's father passed away more than ten years ago, the remaining place is the ancestral hall of Ye Lingling's family, and it is also where Niu Shengluo and the others went.

When they reached the door of the house where the ancestral temple belonged, someone led Niu Shengluo and the others in; it was Ye Ruizhi from before.

It's just that Ye Ruizhi said nothing but looked indifferent. In fact, everyone here has a solemn look on their faces, and their attitudes are not much better.

Wherever Niu Shengluo and the other three went, those strange eyes followed them. From the outside, the largest ancestral temple is only about 300 square meters. However, outside the ancestral temple, Niu Shengluo and the others looked doubtfully at the door made of unknown alloy in front of them.

The thickness of the door is not very large, but only about thirty centimeters, which is basically enough for an ordinary soul master of the soul sect level to punch through with one punch.

What's worrying is that the surroundings of this building are all made of black metal, giving people a solemn feeling.

And its thickness is different from other houses. The thickness of the wall actually reached about fifty centimeters.

Moreover, the tops of the eaves are all made of a light gray alloy, which looks thin, but is actually extremely defensive; the entire house looks extremely solid.

The reason for this is that there is an emergency escape route inside the ancestral temple. Even if all the manors outside are breached, the ancestral temple will be able to support itself for a period of time.

In addition, the eight rooms around the ancestral temple are divided into dozens of independent small rooms, where the guards who guard the ancestral temple live respectively; and deep in the ancestral temple, the Ye family's wealth for hundreds of years is preserved.

Therefore, the entire ancestral temple is the top priority for the Ye family's protection. For safety reasons, the alloy door, sewers, and vents are all connected to the wall.

Although the defense is only able to withstand soul masters below the Soul Sect, with the support of the surrounding guards, the Ye family can definitely escape through the emergency passage.

The door in front of Niu Shengluo and the others is the only entrance. If they are attacked and all the mechanisms are opened, even those in the Soul Emperor realm can only watch from the outside without taking the normal route.

I glanced at the alloy door and the closed windows, but there were no other windows. The alloy door can pass through, but it seems to be in a locked state now.

In this case, even Ye Mu and others will be turned away. In other words, unless someone opens the door from the inside, outsiders will never be able to get in.

Finally, the eyes of Niu Shengluo and the others were fixed on Ye Ruizhi in front of them. Sure enough, Ye Ruizhi knocked on the small door several times, paused for a while, and then knocked again several times, and the alloy door slowly opened from the inside.

After walking through the gate, Niu Shengluo found that the seemingly spacious house from the outside was extremely small, and there were dozens of people standing on both sides of the house.

At the entrance of the entrance passage is an ancestral hall, with many rankings arranged above it, and below the rankings stand seven old soul masters.

Among them, Ye Feiyun, whom he had seen before, was ranked second on the left, and in front of him were old men with gray hair.

He looks to be in his sixties, tall and thin, with an ancient appearance and three long beards under his chin. He looks very elegant.

After Ye Lingling whispered, Niu Shengluo knew that it was Ye Haiyun, Ye Lingling's second grandfather. There were four brothers in Grandpa Ye Lingling's generation.

Since they were of the Yun generation, Ye Lingling's great-grandfather gave them the names Tian, ​​Hai, Liu and Fei.

Among them, Ye Liuyun is Ye Lingling's grandfather, but he died when Ye Lingling's father was young.

Ye Tianyun, on the other hand, started a fight with others for the interests of the Ye family in other places, and was eventually assassinated; only two grandfathers, Ye Haiyun and Ye Feiyun, were left.

Later, the position of clan leader that should have gone to Ye Haiyun's head fell to Ye Liangling's grandfather Ye Liuyun because Ye Liuyun awakened the Jiuxin Haitang martial spirit.

Two of the remaining five elders are from branches of the Ye family. In terms of seniority, Ye Lingling should call them uncle.

The remaining three are the elders who have been passed down through generations after being introduced to the Ye family by people with other surnames. Originally, among the elders there were four members of the family, two from the branch, and one from the outside.

However, when Ye Tianyun died many years ago, a branch clan member and the foreign clan elder also died unfortunately.

In order to appease the hearts of the foreigners, the father of the four brothers Ye Haiyun had to give an elder's seat to the foreigners.

This led to the originally humble and powerful foreigners beginning to take power, and even began to become stronger.

Fortunately, later on, Grandpa Ye Langling and his father were more successful, suppressing and wooing them at the same time, and finally united the foreign forces.

It is a pity that after Ye Liuyun passed away, Ye Lingling's father also died young, resulting in the original suppressive forces not being completely suppressed.

And the ability to win over (Ye Ruizhi's group) was no longer restricted, and the power increased sharply.

At the same time, in order to stabilize the situation of the Ye family at that time, Ye's father had to win over Ye Ruizhi's people in the form of betrothal, which temporarily stabilized people's hearts.

At the same time, in order to appease the suppressed forces, they had to "temporarily" return the elder position vacated by Ye's father to them.

It was agreed to wait until Ye Lingling "grew up" and then take it back through the marriage with Ye Ruizhi. Although it takes a long time, it will not damage the strength of the Ye family.
