Patriarch, what is wrong? Why do you look so pale?
Patriarch, please do not be angry just yet. Let us first root out that scum of the Ancient Clan!
No matter who it is, they must absolutely be severely punished without mercy.
Who exactly is it! Step forward and confess your crimes!
Look how furious the Patriarch is! Once we find this person, they must be expelled from the Ancient Clan and pay with their life!
As soon as these words were spoken.
The crowd of the Ancient Clan immediately began chanting together.
Expel them from the clan, pay with their life!
Expel them from the clan, pay with their life!
...
At this moment, Gu Yang seemed to age decades.
There was not a trace of color on his middle-aged face.
He felt that his life would not last until the next time he regained his youth.
This time, he would pay with his life.
He would shoulder all the sins for the Ancient Clan.
He looked up and took a deep look at the other eight people who knew the truth about this matter.
With just that one glance, the eight of them understood Gu Yang's intention.
That look was telling them.
After his death, someone needed to take his place and continue protecting the Ancient Clan.
Then, Gu Yang spoke in a hoarse voice:
This matter...
Just as he was about to take the blame for everything.
Ye Xing suddenly stepped forward and interrupted:
This matter has absolutely nothing to do with the Ancient Clan!
This is entirely a conspiracy by the Ye family to destroy the Ancient Clan's reputation.
His hoarse voice echoed throughout the venue.
Gu Yang was stunned.
The people of the Ancient Clan were also stunned.
As for the members of the Ye family, they were completely dumbfounded.
Ye Xing continued:
I am Ye Xing of the Ye family.
Everyone knows that the Ancient Clan has lived in the Kunlun Mountains all year round and has pure, simple customs.
How could they possibly do something so inhuman?
It is all a conspiracy by the Ye family to curry favor with the Flood Dragon and smear the Ancient Clan!
Hearing Ye Xing's words, the unaware members of the Ancient Clan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
I knew it! Our Ancient Clan could never do such a thing.
How could anyone from the Ancient Clan commit such a vicious act?
The Ye family deserves to die!
To attempt to ruin the innocence of the Ancient Clan, how despicable!
...
The Ancient Clan members were filled with righteous indignation.
Gu Yang was completely dumbfounded.
He knew that everything Ye Xing said was a lie.
However, he had absolutely no intention of refuting it.
A trace of relief even sprouted in his heart.
As cold sweat rolled down his brow.
Gu Yang finally realized.
That he, a dignified Peak Martial Sage, had unknowingly soaked his clothes in sweat.
Ye Xing's words sent a shiver straight down Ye Wujiang's spine.
He roared in panic:
Ye Xing! Are you crazy?
Do you know what you are saying?
Ye Xing's eyes were dark and ruthless.
He threw a glance at Ye Wujiang.
And thought to himself:
I do not know if I am crazy or not!
But you guys are about to go crazy!
Ye Wujiang could not help but charge toward Ye Xing.
At this moment, he wished he could slap Ye Xing to death.
Once this matter was pinned on the Ye family.
The entire Ye family would be finished.
Even if the Ancient Clan let them off and gave them a way out.
The Ye family would become public enemies.
Their fate would be even worse than that of human traffickers.
Who could tolerate a family that fed children to an evil dragon?
By then, their businesses in the overseas administrative regions would likely face absolute destruction.
Watching Ye Wujiang charge at him.
A flash of resentment passed over Ye Xing's face.
He shouted to the Ancient Clan members beside him:
Stop him quickly, he wants to silence the witness.
Hearing Ye Xing's words.
A group of Ancient Clan members immediately blocked his path.
How dare you try to commit murder right in front of us!
Thanks to this young brother stepping forward, the Ancient Clan was saved from being falsely accused.
Ye family, prepare to face the wrath of the Ancient Clan!
Patriarch, let us wipe out this vicious Ye family!
...
Seeing Ye Xing being protected by the Ancient Clan.
Ye Wujiang was completely dumbfounded.
He knew that if he did not handle this well, the Ye family might meet their end right then and there.
Yet, he did not dare speak up and say that Gu Yang was the one who ordered him to do it.
He shouted:
He is talking nonsense!
Our Ye family is also innocent.
This... this... this was all done by Ye Long alone!
At this critical moment.
He once again wanted Ye Long to take the fall for the family, just like Ye Xing had done in the past.
Unfortunately, Ye Long was not Ye Xing.
He was not a coward who would just swallow his grievances for the sake of the greater good.
Ye Long roared on the spot:
You are speaking nonsense, you were the one who told me to do it!
You even said it was arranged by the Patriarch of the Ancient Clan!
Furthermore, when the Flood Dragon was feeding, it even said it was very satisfied with the Ancient Clan's offerings!
As soon as these words came out.
Ye Xing knew that the Ye family was absolutely doomed today.
No matter who came, they could not save the Ye family.
The outcome was self-evident.
Hearing Ye Long's words, Ye Wujiang's heart instantly ran cold.
This damn unfilial son, he actually does not know how to prioritize the big picture and protect the family!
At this moment, Gu Yang secretly wiped away his sweat.
Although he was a Peak Martial Sage, he had lived in the Kunlun Mountains for over three hundred years.
From childhood to adulthood, he had never experienced such a situation.
Moreover, he felt guilty in his heart, so he said nothing at this time.
However, the people of the Ancient Clan immediately could not hold back and made a move.
An old man was seen throwing a slap.
Get the hell out of the way!
Ye Wujiang, a Martial Supreme, was sent flying.
Following that, the old man instantly flashed in front of Ye Long.
He grabbed Ye Long by the neck.
And angrily said:
How bold! How dare you slander the Patriarch of the Ancient Clan!
I have known Brother Gu Yang since childhood, for over three hundred years.
I know Gu Yang's character like the back of my hand.
Even if Brother Gu Yang were to die, he would never do such a heartless thing!
Ye Long struggled in terror.
But in the hands of a Martial Sage, he did not have the slightest ability to resist.
Gu Yang heard the words of his old clansman brother.
He felt increasingly ashamed.
He also felt increasingly fearful.
He was afraid that his clansmen would find out that he was indeed the one who gave the order.
Just as the Ancient Clan fell into chaos.
Su Yan quietly appeared beside Feng Tengyun.
The two of them just stood there by the edge of the Wei Group Center Building.
Grandpa Feng, is there any useful intelligence?
Su Yan asked respectfully.
Feng Tengyun narrowed his eyes, staring fixedly at the resentful Ancient Clan members.
On his aged face, there was neither joy nor sorrow.
The Ancient Clan is very foolish, but very careful.
They almost never allow Ancient Clan members to leave the Holy Capital's perimeter.
Everything is handled by the Ye family on their behalf.
However, the Ancient Clan also has a fatal flaw.
Hearing Feng Tengyun's words.
Su Yan praised in her heart:
As expected of the former Dark Division Consul of the Martial Arts Guild.
If it were not for Grandpa Feng acting as an informant, my Heaven Swallowing Club would probably have been wiped out long ago.
Feng Tengyun's gaze turned toward those young people of the Ancient Clan.
At this moment, some children could still be seen playing games on their mobile phones.
He continued to speak without any fluctuation in his tone:
Their descendants simply cannot resist the temptations of this world.
The impact of the new world is a dimensional strike against these naive youths.
Coupled with their status as the world's number one noble family, their tendency to do whatever they want will be infinitely magnified.
That pure and simple Kunlun remnant clan can never go back to what it was.
Possessing immense power, yet lacking the matching mental maturity.
The decline of the Ancient Clan is a foregone conclusion.
It will be a very painful lesson.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

The False Prince: "Although I am not the biological son, Father and Mother love me more. The throne should be mine!" The Female Lead: "Qin Xiao, you are the Emperor, and I am a commoner. If you wish to marry me, you must abdicate. Otherwise, you will never have me!" The Empress: "After we divorce, you must give me half the empire!" The Transmigrator Consort: "You worthless Emperor, why should I kneel to you? All men are equal—I advise you to be kind!" The Great General: "The enemy general is my childhood sweetheart. For her sake, I willingly abandon the frontier defenses!" The Retired Emperor: "Although Yu'er was adopted, I prefer him. Qin Xiao, you should abdicate and let him become Emperor!" ... Very well! So this is how you want to play? Facing this twisted world of female-oriented tropes, Qin Xiao grins and raises his hand to unleash—the Nine Clan Extraction Technique! I am the Emperor. Why would I bother reasoning with you? Seal the gates! Leave none alive!
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
