Chapter 1: Crossing into Another World
"What's wrong, nothing to say?"
"What's wrong? Have you all become mute?"
"Are you still unaccustomed to the current change? Are you still doubting whether I'm an imposter or not?"
"Are you wondering why I'm different from the rumors? Are you regretting how you treated my parents now?"
Every word of interrogation was like a heavy hammer, pounding in the hearts of all people.
"What's going on here?" Seeing the many family elders behind him change color after hearing the name, it seemed they all understood something. Listening to this questioning voice, Cang Daocong seemed to have realized something too. However, he still wanted to confirm it. Something like this happening in the family was simply a shame!
"Great Elder, I believe with your intelligence, you should understand what's going on! That's right, I've come today to demand repayment for my parents' debt! And my parents are the sixth branch of the Cang family, who have been living a hard life for nearly five years due to the greed of the sixth branch!"
Cang Ye's anger wasn't just because of the pressure from his family. Just now, when he met with his parents, he discovered that due to the pressure and hardships in life, Cang Yun and his wife had already reached their physical limits! What's more, he could even sense a faint aura of death within them. If his guess was correct, then he really wanted to bathe the Cang family in blood! If he hadn't come down the mountain this time, by the next time they met, it would be at their graves!
Orphan of the previous life, memories of this life, he cherishes this relationship especially, whoever wants to destroy it, even if they fall together, Cang Ye will make them pay the price!
Upon hearing these words, Cang Daoqiong could no longer stand and his legs went soft as he continuously retreated backwards. Behind him, Cang Yu hastily supported the elderly man and gazed at this "cousin" with a complex expression.
The greatest joys and sorrows in human life are all within a single thought.
Now Cang Dao Cong has an extremely deep feeling about this sentence. A family produces a talent that can be said to be a legendary genius, which is a great joy! This is a great prosperity!
But because of those foolish clansmen, this fifteen-year-old youth who had already surpassed the strongest in his family was filled with hostility towards his own family. What a great sorrow! This is a great defeat!
"What evil deeds! What evil deeds!"
"Xiao Liu, get out here and give me a clear explanation of the whole thing!"
The Sixth Elder who was pointed out stood in despair, the disciples who originally surrounded him scattered with a "whoosh".
"I... I..."
I tried to say a few more sentences, but I was still stuttering and couldn't get another word out.
Seeing the appearance of the six elders in front of him, Cang Daoqiong also understood that all the reasons were probably from the direct lineage! These people have been raised by him. But there is one point that can be used as an excuse, and they will be infinitely magnified. However, now this desperate look, clearly has no reason at all!
"Big brother, you say it!"
The one who was called out by name was Cang Ming, the current head of the Cang family and a direct descendant of the eldest branch.
"The great elder. The matter is like this..." He recounted the entire affair from start to finish, while Cang Ye listened on the side. What he said was not much different from what his father had told him.
"Bastard! You're a bastard, are you still considered a member of the Cang family?! The teachings of your ancestors, have you forgotten them all?! Get out, get out of this house!"
Upon hearing Cang Daoqiong's words, the six elder surnamed Fang who were kneeling on the ground got up and walked out with a heart as dead as ashes.
Looking at this desolate back view, all the young masters of the Cang family secretly sighed. Who knows, will I be the next Sixth Elder?
Just as Liu Fang passed by Cang Ye's side, everyone discovered a long sword lying across the chest of Elder Liu.
"Tonight... Xiao You, I have already driven the culprit out of our home and all the wealth that was embezzled from Cang Yun will be returned tenfold. Although Sixth Elder did wrong, but considering the familial ties we share, spare his life!"
Looking at the scene in front of me, although I would like to cut this scourge into a thousand pieces, but after all, he is his own flesh and blood! Even a fierce tiger will not eat its own son, let alone a human being.
Opening his mouth early and driving him out of the house was also to save his life!
"Familial affection, ha! You're asking me about familial affection at a time like this? Great Elder, when they did such things, did you ever think of familial affection? Did you ever think of kinship?"
"Lao Liu is somewhat wrong, but he only did it to get that part of the property. As for your parents, he didn't take any extreme measures. This punishment is already enough."
The other rooms, after learning about Cang Ye's identity, also slightly put down their fear. After all, he is his own junior, and it's impossible for him to be like those demonic paths, saying kill just kill, towards these people who share the same blood as himself. Now they also dare to open their mouths a little.
"Excessive measures? Haha, haha. Excessive measures? What else can he use as excessive measures! Is the so-called excessive measure directly beheading my parents on the spot!"
Upon hearing these words, even Cang Daoqiong furrowed his brow. Intra-clan slaughter was an absolute grave sin punishable by extreme penalty! No matter who it was, as long as they committed such a mistake, there was only one outcome: death! Now that Cang Ye had spoken such words, everyone present felt uneasy.
Isn't it just because you're greedy for his family property?! Now he's repaid you tenfold. The person in charge has nothing, just wanting to survive. Even if you have the power to reach the sky, isn't it too much to force a blood relative like this?
Seeing these people frowning, Cang Ye sneered with a extremely mocking smile. He turned his gaze back to the Sixth House elder who was being held down by his sword.
"Six Elders, I now ask you just one question, let everyone see how you will deal with it!"
He lifted his head and looked at the dark night. The Sixth Elder was also filled with regret at this moment. He regretted not getting rid of that useless thing directly from the start! That way, things wouldn't have turned out like this today.
"Ask away." The Sixth Elder didn't speak, but Cang Daoqiong answered on his behalf.
The corners of his mouth slightly raised, an unusual evil aura. Cang Ye spoke one word at a time, saying:
"I don't know, who poisoned my parents!"
The poison in my parents' bodies, who administered it?!
The poison in the body, who administered it!
Who did it!
The entire courtyard was eerily quiet, and the dark night seemed to reverberate with an echo! This echoing voice, like a series of interrogations, thundered against the already fragile heart of the Sixth Elder. In an instant, his pupils constricted, despair spreading throughout his chest.
This time, I'm afraid no one will be able to save him again.
"Bastard, tell me clearly what's going on here!" Cang Daoqiong was furious at this time! Before Cang Ye could react, he jumped in front of Liu Fang, grabbed his collar with one hand and lifted him up.
The six elders never said anything, but this attitude has already been understood by everyone.
His gaze was filled with hatred!
Struggling for power and profit is acceptable, as long as you have the ability, no one will say anything about taking advantage of others' wealth.
However, harming one's own kind is a behavior that has thoroughly and utterly crossed everyone's bottom line!
Today I can treat myself like this, tomorrow I will be able to deal with them in the same way!
No one dared to say anything. People like this, even if they don't open their mouths at night, must be put to death! They would kill even their own relatives, and leaving them behind would be a disaster!
Cang Dao suddenly looked much older, putting down the person in front of him. The violent anger just now also had a certain degree of acting. But now, his heart was truly as dead as ashes.
Is this the family he has been protecting all along?
"Hand over the antidote and take your own life!" he said in a voice filled with indifference to the Sixth Elder who was paralyzed on the ground.
"Antidote? Ha! After spending so much energy and money to create the ultimate poison, how could there possibly be an antidote? Even if I die, I'll make sure those two go down with me!" The voice was like a snake's hiss, coming from Sixth Elder for the first time.
Everyone felt a chill run down their spine upon hearing this voice.
"You think there's no antidote? That I won't be able to save my parents?" Cang Ye said coldly, looking at everything slowly.
"What's your trick? You little beast, do you think you're strong enough to force out the poison? Let me tell you the truth, this poison was never meant for your parents, but for that old codger Cang Daoqiong. Your parents were just test subjects!"
Everyone's eyes widened in shock and disbelief. His purpose was actually to harm the family's guardian deity!
"You heartless beast, the family has not treated you poorly. How could you do something so devoid of conscience? I...I'll kill you!" The patriarch of the Long House lineage, unable to bear it any longer, raised his long sword and stabbed directly at him.
With a wave of his hand, the long sword of the patriarch of the Cang family was actually knocked to the ground!
"Hmph! If it weren't for this old thing standing in the way, could you have become the clan leader? But with your Tianling cultivation, you still dare to show off in front of me! Everything is because of this old codger. If it weren't for him, I would definitely have become the clan leader and led our Cang family to become the number one family in the Yan Tian Empire! Everything is because of you people forcing me! I'm not wrong, I'm not wrong!"
Just like watching a play, Cang Ye laughed at the scene in front of him.
First a faint smile, then a loud laugh towards the sky. The laughter is so unbridled, so sarcastic...
"Alright, everything is clear, you should also be on your way." After stopping his laughter, a tone that seemed to freeze the air spoke to the Sixth House Elder in front of him.
"You little beast, I knew it all along that you should have been eliminated long ago! If it weren't for you, I would be the head of the Cang family now, and I would be the leader of the first family in the Yan Tian Empire! I won't accept this, I won't accept this!"
There is no one in front of this madman, with a long sword out, the sky and earth are frozen!
"Starry sky"!
A sword that fuses with the law of ice. Transforming into a myriad of stars, instantly freezing the six elders in front of him, and then bursting open.
Everything... is over...
"Return everything I've gotten from your family over the years, every single bit of it, back to my home. Of course, I wouldn't mind coming back once more!"
After saying these words, he turned around and left the Cang family...
