Chapter 486 Ancestral Mountain Gathering
Yang Lie saw Ye Kang's anger and sneered, "Boy, do you think just anyone can cooperate with me? You understand the principle of dealing with a tiger for its skin. As long as you can get through this, immense wealth will be yours, and you will never be disappointed."
"If you can't get through, then it proves you're not qualified to speak with me at all."
Yang Lie's tone was cold and sharp, full of the air of a ruthless and powerful figure.
Upon hearing this, Ye Kang took a deep breath and said, "As expected of a senior, I have learned a lot. Tell me, what are your plans, senior?"
"No," Yang Lie replied with a smile.
"I'm just a spirit, all plans are just empty talk. It's up to you now."
Yang Lie answered very straightforwardly.
Ye Kang had anticipated his response and wasn't angry. He simply nodded and said, "Then please continue to cooperate, senior. Since they want to seize my body, it's time for them to come."
Sure enough, no sooner had he finished speaking than a shout came from outside the door.
"Uncle Lie, the Sixth Ancestor requests your presence!"
The one who spoke was his niece, who was full of curiosity about the outside world. Ye Kang didn't waste any words and simply walked out.
The niece said timidly, "Uncle, please don't be offended. The Sixth Ancestor was urging me, I..."
"It's alright, let's go together."
Ye Kang smiled and glanced into the cave.
Lu Hong also took her daughter's hand and followed them out.
"Xiaoyue, where did the Sixth Ancestor invite us to go?"
“Auntie, it’s the gathering hall at the foot of the ancestral mountain. Our sixth ancestor said that since Uncle Lie has finally come back, we should invite the whole clan to have a good time. The clan members have already gone there one after another.”
"They seem quite anxious."
Lu Hong covered her mouth and smiled, but a hint of cold killing intent was hidden in her smile.
If Yang Lie hadn't died, he would probably be devoured alive by them by now.
Ye Kang also said, "Let's go together."
"Yes!"
Yang Siyue looked delighted and nervously led the way.
Finally, unable to contain her curiosity, she whispered, "Uncle, is there a real moon outside? Is it beautiful?"
Ye Kang said coldly, "Go out and see for yourself from now on. What's the difference between what others say and what you read in books?"
“Yue’er understands, but we’re not as powerful as Uncle Lie, so we’ll probably never get out… My name was given to me by my mother; she wanted to go out and see the moon, but in the end, she could only be buried here…”
Ye Kang didn't say anything, only felt helpless.
As living, consumables, these Yang family members who know nothing are the most pathetic.
Soon, the five arrived at the foot of Zushan Mountain.
The ancestral land is located inside the mountains and is usually guarded by special personnel. No one except the three ancestors can enter.
But at the foot of the mountain was a place where everyone often gathered, and there were already several hundred people there, greeting each other.
When someone saw Ye Kang, their expression immediately darkened, and they kept their distance.
The real Yang Lie sneered, thinking to himself, "They're all a bunch of brainwashed good-for-nothings. They think that my going out is disrespectful to the ancestral teachings, and that I'm forgetting my roots. Everyone knows that. It's just jealousy. There's no need to pay them any attention."
Ye Kang glanced at it once, then consciously went to the front and sat in the most luxurious chair.
Immediately, many clansmen's expressions changed drastically, and some even stood up angrily, pointing their fingers at Ye Kang's nose and saying, "How dare you! Yang Lie! You actually dare to sit in the position of the Five Ancestors, do you want to rebel!"
Ye Kang glanced at the man and said disdainfully, "Idiot, it's just a seat. Whoever is stronger gets to sit. What's the problem?"
"You! You have disgraced our ancestors!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Ye Kang made a sudden move.
A figure flashed by, and two slaps landed on the man's face in an instant.
Ye Kang then grabbed the man with his right hand, lifted him up, and threw him to the ground.
This was purely physical cultivation, without using true qi, but for that guy who had only advanced two pillars, it was enough to make him despair.
Such a domineering move was completely unreasonable, and everyone present clenched their fists, feeling indignant.
As expected, Yang Lie is still the same lawless and unruly man.
"Alright, Lie'er just got back, sit wherever you want."
At that moment, an old voice rang out.
Surrounded by several women, the old woman and another white-haired old man walked out together.
The one speaking was the white-haired old man, the fifth ancestor of the Yang family.
Everyone greeted him, but Ye Kang stood with his hands behind his back, showing no intention of bowing.
The Fifth Patriarch was not angry, but smiled and said, "It's good that you're back. This banquet today is to welcome you back and wash away the dust of your journey. Please sit down."
"Then thank you very much, Fifth Ancestor."
Ye Kang sat down without any hesitation.
At this moment, the Fifth Patriarch looked at the Carp God again: "Where did you find this spirit pet? It is so well-behaved in its transformed form."
Ye Kang said, "I came across it by chance, and since it feels like a connection to me, I've kept it with me."
"Good, you've found a good playmate for your daughter. Everyone, stop standing there and eat."
At the Fifth Patriarch's invitation, everyone sat down to eat. Ye Kang glanced at the food and noticed that it was similar to what he had seen outside, except for some of the vegetables, which he had never seen before.
However, the food was delicious, and Koi God had already devoured all the dishes in front of him, yet he was still not satisfied.
At this moment, the Sixth Patriarch suddenly spoke up: "Yang Lie, when you were wandering in the outside world, did you encounter any of our enemies?"
"What enemy?" Ye Kang asked, puzzled.
The Sixth Ancestor revealed a look of sudden realization and said with a wry smile, "It's my fault, it's my fault. Our Yang family came to this desperate situation to avoid disaster because we have enemies outside, but I forgot to tell you. It just so happens that your Second Ancestor also wants to see you. Why don't you go and see him so that he can explain these things to you? Now that you are the strongest, it is time for you to know these things and take over the position of clan leader."
Upon hearing this, all the members of the Yang family were stunned.
Yang Lie must be made the clan leader!
How could this be?
"Sixth Patriarch, please be careful! The position of clan leader has been vacant for a long time; you can't make a decision so casually!"
"That's right, Ancestor! In terms of seniority, Yang Lie shouldn't be in the running at all!"
"Although Yang Lie has the highest cultivation level, he has no regard for his clansmen. Electing him as the clan leader will endanger the Yang family!"
Many people mustered up the courage to stand up and oppose it.
Both the Sixth Patriarch and the Fifth Patriarch turned pale.
"Shut up! Lie'er is skilled in both literature and martial arts. How can you slander him like this? Apologize to him now!"
Now, those who had opposed him had no choice but to apologize.
Ye Kang found the scene amusing.
Those old fogies certainly know how to scheme.
First, put Yang Lie in the position of clan leader. Then, after the soul-stealing, he can naturally come out and take charge of the overall situation.
That's really ruthless.
Ye Kang gestured to the Carp God with his eyes, then said, "Carp God, are you full? Go play with my daughter."
The Carp Goddess gave Ye Kang a resentful look. She's full my ass!
Even so, she obediently jumped off the chair and ran out to play with Yang Lie's daughter.
Yang Siyue also said, "I'll follow them and see, so they don't get lost."
