Chapter 41: The Purple Mansion Star

  The family rules of the Ye family, the numerous sons and daughters of the Ye family can compete, fight, and even engage in fierce battles, and they can also vie for resources. However, the sons and daughters of the Ye family cannot harbor hatred towards each other, cannot gamble with their lives, and cannot plot to harm each other's lives. Those who violate this rule will be considered traitors to the family, and traitors will be put to death without mercy!

  Rebel, kill without mercy... Rebel, kill without mercy... Rebel, kill without mercy...

  Just six short words, yet they were like the mighty drum of war, stunning everyone into a daze, their ears ringing, unable to move for a long time, as if they had been suddenly cast under a petrifying spell. After a long while, all the Heavenly Dragon Guards slowly lifted their heads, staring fixedly at the young man before them, their eyes shifting with emotions: hatred, relief, resentment, shock, regret, and determination.

  After all, what is it that they are determined about, Ye Lin doesn't know, but looking at the ever-changing expressions in everyone's eyes, he can't help but let out a sigh in his heart. He knows that now these people have already made their own decisions in their hearts. As for what the determination in their eyes ultimately is, he may have already guessed it. However, he can't say anything, and he can't do anything. Some things can be forgiven, but some things, once you take this step, will inevitably become a road of no return, with no possibility of turning back.

  Although Ye Lin was also unwilling to kill the people of the Ye family, although he did not want to be a ruthless avenger who hated his relatives, however, the clan rules had been set, so they must be carried out, without exception.

  "Hahaha... hahahahaha~~~~~~~~"

  Among the many Tianlong Guards, a leader-like figure suddenly looked up at the sky and laughed loudly, as if he had suddenly seen through something. His internal energy shook, causing his black iron mask to fall off, revealing his true face. He appeared to be only in his thirties, but his eyes were filled with wind and frost. This was a man with a story, and also the strongest among all the Tianlong Guards, having already reached the third stage of Lianqi. If Ye Lin hadn't consumed the Fire Dragon Fruit and broken through physically, he would have had no choice but to use speed to escape if he encountered him.

  But now, with one slash of the knife, he could cut him in two. Ye Lin coldly looked at the person in front of him, secretly thinking to himself.

  "Not bad, what Ye Lin young master said is right, the family rules have been set, those who betray the family will be killed without mercy. When we took this step in the beginning, we should have already had this awareness!"

  Ye Lin looked at the person in front of her coldly, wanting to know what he really wanted to say.

  "Master Ye Lin, I, Ye Mou, am willing to die for betraying the Ye family, but I have one request to make of Master Ye Lin, please grant me this favor!"

  Ye Fan looked at Ye Lin and said steadily.

  Her eyes narrowed, Ye Lin stared at this unmasked Ye Ding, with whom she had a kind of sympathetic resonance, without saying anything, just staring.

  "I, Ye Lin, was born a hundred years ago, from the same Ye Lin family, but later my strength couldn't break through, and I was forced to leave the family, venturing out on my own. Thirty years ago, I broke through the Refining Period, and established a small family in a small town outside Yunshui City, which is also considered a branch of the Ye family."

  Indeed, in the Ye family, as long as one's strength broke through the Refining Qi period, they were allowed to establish their own sect and form a branch family. And Yunshui City was the center of an area spanning thousands of miles around it. Although it was surrounded by the sea and mountains on all sides, there were still eighteen large guard cities around Yunshui City. Outside these eighteen large guard cities, there were many more towns, like a galaxy with Yunshui City as the central star, the eighteen large guard cities revolving around it like planets, and the next level of towns being satellite city pools surrounding those planets. The four major families occupied Yunshui City, while smaller families could only divide up its satellite city pools; even smaller city pools naturally had to settle in some towns.

  "For thirty years, I have been strengthening my family. I have fought a great battle with the East Sea's sea beasts, entered the Lianyou Mountains to search for something, stolen, robbed, and even plotted against others. However, I, Ye Zong, have never betrayed the Ye family or done anything that would shame the bloodline that runs through my veins."

  At this point, even though he had lived for over a hundred years, he still shed tears of regret, filled with remorse.

  However, three years ago, suddenly everything changed. A man with a golden dragon patterned mask came to my family and just by releasing his aura, I couldn't move anymore. He forced me to betray the Ye family, but I refused. Then he threatened to kill my whole family, and having no other choice, I nodded in agreement.

  So it was all from three years ago.

  Ye Lin's eyes narrowed, his killing intent unabated and even increasing. Three years ago, all the existence above the Refining Qi stage in the Ye family had disappeared overnight, leaving only Second Elder Ye Chong behind. It was declared that the Patriarch had gathered all the high-ranking members of the Ye family to enter the deep mountains for closed-door cultivation in order to break through to a higher realm.

  It seems that everything could be fake, and everything is just a setup by the Tianlong Society, or it can be said that the Tianlong Society's setup has already begun from this moment.

  But whether Grandpa and his friends were alive or dead?

  Ye Lin clenched his fists, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes. His killing intent grew stronger. In his heart, he had already made up his mind to get to the bottom of all this.

  Ye Zhen, although a warrior of the Three Realms of Refining Vigor, could be the master of a family in one of the towns surrounding Yunshui City, but under Ye Lin's gaze, his entire body was still covered in goosebumps.

  Even so, he was still very calm and said: "This time, I, Ye Lin, fell into the hands of Master Ye Lin, there is nothing to say. However, my Stone Castle's Ye family branch is innocent, I hope Master Ye Lin can spare them."

  The Ye family has always been ruthless and bloodthirsty towards traitors, regardless of whether you betray or not. In the divided house, whoever betrays will be punished.

  Ye Lin knew that this was not a good means, but it was a good deterrent. In life, who can be heartless? Any family member, there are always elders and young children, who can truly bear to let their old and young relatives be implicated because of one person?

  Ye Fan was no exception. He wasn't afraid of death and he knew that this time, he would definitely die. However, the one thing he couldn't let go of was his family, which he had built with his own hands.

  "You can rest assured, you are members of the Ye family. After your death, I will make sure that your blood returns to the Ye clan and not be scattered outside."

  Ye Lin is the ancestor of the Ye clan, his words decide everything for the Ye clan, as long as they have the Ye clan's pulse flowing through them, after death, they can let it flow back to the Ye clan.

  "Thank you, thank you, Master Ye Lin!"

  Although Ye Lin was a legendary waste, at this moment, including Ye Zong, all the Tianlong Guards believed in Ye's words 100%. As long as Ye Lin was willing to say that he would let their blood flow back to the Ye family clan, they believed that Ye Lin would definitely make their blood flow back to the Ye family clan.

  "Little one, are you really willing to let their blood return to the clan?"

  Ye Zhen and others did not understand the significance of the clan, but the Purple Golden Dragon God was very clear. The reason why the dragon clan is so powerful is that they are a clan, and all the dragons in the clan have the same blood flowing through their veins. However, the dragon clan's actual strength has already surpassed that of countless clans, reaching the level of a top-tier divine clan, just half a step away from advancing to an unparalleled great immortal clan.

  The Supreme Immortal Clan, within the clan, everyone can become an immortal.

  Just thinking about it makes one's hair stand on end, but similarly, to reach the Supreme Great Sage Clan is extremely difficult, so difficult that even in ancient times, the Dragon God Clan was already a top-tier divine clan, and after countless years, they are still only a top-tier divine clan, unable to take half a step forward.

  However, as a top-tier god of the Zi Jin Long tribe, he naturally knew more about tribal matters than Ye Lin.

  "Dragon God, what good strategy do you have?"

  As for Zi Jin Long Shen, Ye Lin naturally trusted him very much. It was rare for the dragon god to speak, so he had to ask humbly.

  "Forging the Supreme Immortal Clan, we must open up the Supreme Immortal Realm, gather the strength of the entire clan, nurture the Supreme Bloodline and create a smooth path to immortality."

  "This road to immortality is a path of accumulation, using the essence of dead people's blood and vital energy to nourish the supreme great bloodline of future generations."

  "It is said that when a person dies, their soul will transform into a star and forever take care of the living. In fact, it means that all the spirits of the deceased in the clan enter the Purple Mansion Immortal Realm, transforming into Purple Mansion stars, sprinkling stardust on the Purple Mansion Immortal Realm, nourishing the blood spirits of all people in the clan within the Temple of All Images."

  Ye Lin's eyes lit up as soon as he heard it, and he had also seen records of this kind on the True Dragon Skin, but he hadn't discovered this secret method himself and didn't think that the Purple Gold Dragon God would know.

  "Dragon God, do you know this secret method?"

  As long as you know this secret, whether or not you truly return to your ancestors, after your death, the spirit of your bloodline will necessarily transform into a star that will hang forever in the starry sky of the Purple Mansion Immortal Realm.

  Having obtained the secret method from Zijin Longshen, Ye Lin looked at the remaining eighty or so people in front of him and said solemnly: "You can rest assured that you will go back to your ancestral temple with your bloodline intact, it won't be leaked out. Your loved ones, as long as they haven't betrayed us, everything will remain the same."

  Got a secret method from Zijin Longshen, but this secret method is highly toxic and requires the blood of a clan to be activated.

  His entire body radiated a fierce aura, sweeping across the area, and eighty to ninety people fell to the ground. Ye Lin's hands condensed into 99 sets of Eighty-One Seal Decisions as he shouted: "Blood Vessel Spirit, Purple Mansion Star Sutra, return to your positions!"

  In an instant, the purple mansion starry sky shook, and what was originally just a few faint stars suddenly appeared in tens of millions. Among them, more than 80 stars were particularly bright, which was precisely the 80 or so Heavenly Dragon Guards, because they were the ones who had shed their blood to create this secret technique, making them shine the brightest.
