Chapter 3

"Huh? Sentencing?"

Ye Han looked indifferently at the group of Ye family guards surrounding him. 520 official website

"Ye Han, I heard your realm has been destroyed. I never thought you would come to this." Ye Ming said mockingly, looking at Ye Han with a smug expression.

In an instant, several guards grabbed Ye Han's arms from both sides and, at Ye Ming's signal, led him out of the courtyard.

"Where are you taking me?" Ye Han's face remained calm.

"Ye Han, the lords of Flame City have already arrived, including representatives from the Yan Yang Academy. Today marks the birth of our family's prodigy, and the entire city will witness it. It is also the end of your illegitimate status as a prince." Ye Ming's face darkened. "After the head of the family sentences you to lose your prince status, you can stay by my side as a dog."

"By the way, your crippled teacher is also coming. Though she is crippled, I must admit her figure and appearance are truly full and alluring, unmatched in Flame City. If I ever get the chance to have her, imagining her yielding to me..." Ye Ming's face was filled with lust.

"Unbelievable!"

Ye Han suddenly stopped, his power surging around him. A fierce aura erupted, and the group of guards were knocked down.

"You... How can you...?"

Ye Ming's face changed drastically as a terrifying fist appeared before his eyes.

Boom…

The fist exploded!

With a crack, Ye Ming was thrown five meters away, his chest bones shattered, his body twitching and groaning, unable to get up.

Ye Ming was merely a fifth-level Yuan Gathering realm warrior. Due to his age, he couldn't even enter the Yan Yang Academy. Even if he were saved, he would be a cripple from then on.

"Insulting my teacher, you're asking for death?"

Ye Han glanced at the fallen body and turned to look at the few Ye family guards. "Where are they gathered?"

"The... the square, the family square!" The group was in a panic, extremely frightened.

Ignoring these small guards, Ye Han walked directly to the Ye family square, his aura chilling.

A day without seeing each other felt like three years. He was no longer the Ye Han of yesterday.

The saying that a gentleman takes ten years to avenge is nonsense. Ye Zixuan, you will die today.

He originally planned to return to the academy to prepare for dealing with the Ye family, but now it seemed some things couldn't wait.

Hearing that various so-called big shots from the city had arrived and that his teacher would also appear, Ye Han had no more reservations and could no longer hold back.

At the Ye family square.

Many figures were already seated, and many Ye family members and guards were excited and full of anticipation, gathered around the square.

Ye Yangfu, the head of the Ye family, led the group, with Ye Zixuan standing beside him. Next to Ye Zixuan was a man in his early twenties, wearing a white robe, with a sword-like brow and star-like eyes.

This man had an extraordinary aura, and his identity was unknown. He had never been seen before.

Additionally, there were the major steward Li Xuan from the City Lord's residence, the heads of the Zhao, Wang, and Zhu families in Flame City, and several teachers from the Yan Yang Academy.

It could be said that almost all the big shots in Flame City had arrived.

"Even the City Lord's residence has come? Good..." Ye Han thought coldly, glancing at Ye Zixuan and her father, then walked directly to a spot in the crowd.

Seeing Ye Han come alone and calmly, Ye Yangfu frowned slightly but then returned to normal after looking at his daughter.

"Teacher!"

Ye Han walked to a woman in her early twenties, with a delicate face, sitting in a wheelchair.

"Ye Han, you... are fine." The woman's frown relaxed, her voice gentle.

Ye Han smiled brightly. "Teacher, you have difficulty moving. You should rest in the academy. Why did you come to the Ye family?"

"They said you faced danger in the Cold Abyss Mine and were invaded by demonic power, breaking your qi sea and becoming a cripple." The woman spoke softly. "I also heard that Ye Zixuan was born with a Heavenly Dragon Combat Body, and the whole city was informed. I couldn't rest easy."

Glancing at Ye Zixuan and her father in the distance, Ye Han sneered. "Thanks to the Ye family, I'm fine. Teacher, don't worry."

As they conversed, Ye Yangfu came to the front and looked around. "Today, our Ye family has invited all of you to announce three things."

"The first thing, as you all know, is that our family's prodigy, Ye Zixuan, has awakened the Heavenly Dragon Combat Body. This is a great honor for the Ye family. From today, we will hold a grand feast in Flame City for three days."

Ye Zixuan stepped forward, extending her right arm. A prominent aura immediately appeared, enveloping her body.

Her gaze swept over the crowd, cold and confident.

Her eyes passed over Ye Han with a hint of disdain, then she nodded to the crowd. Even though she had just awakened her Combat Body, she already had the aura of a superior.

After today, only the genius Ye Zixuan would rise in Flame City, and no one would remember the illegitimate prince Ye Han, who had been adopted by the Ye family for many years.

The faces of those in the upper seats were somewhat grim. The heads of the major families, needless to say, would be overshadowed by the Ye family in the future, and they were not pleased.

"Three days of feasting in Flame City? Has it been reported to the City Lord's residence? Without the City Lord's permission, according to the rules of Flame City..." The major steward Li Xuan from the City Lord's residence also had a cold expression. The Ye family's good fortune was not necessarily good for Flame City.

"Three days of feasting in Flame City? Are you treating the Ye family as the master of Flame City? Do you even consider the City Lord's residence?"

"Hmph, the City Lord's residence?"

Ye Yangfu glanced at Li Xuan. "Feasting in Flame City is a private matter of our Ye family. Is the City Lord's residence overstepping?"

"You..."

Li Xuan suddenly stood up but, seeing Ye Zixuan not far away, forcibly restrained his emotions.

"The second thing is that, thanks to the favor of the Cycle Academy, Zixuan will join the Cycle Academy from today, enjoying the status of an ordinary disciple." Ye Yangfu was in high spirits, his voice rising.

Everyone was shocked, their envy, jealousy, and even fear unhidden.

The major steward Li Xuan from the City Lord's residence was startled, his heart racing. What he feared had come to pass.

Ye Zixuan had just awakened the Heavenly Dragon Combat Body yesterday, and today she was already joining the Cycle Academy?

The Cycle Academy was a true top-tier power. In the vast ancient domain of Tai Xu, it was a behemoth. The Yan Yang Academy in Flame City was merely a small branch of the Cycle Academy, and there were at least hundreds or thousands of similar branches.

No wonder Ye Yangfu was so aggressive, openly ignoring the rules and challenging the City Lord's residence.

It was a joke. With Ye Zixuan's status, who would dare to touch a hair of the Ye family in the future?

The order in the vast ancient domain of Tai Xu had been chaotic for nearly a thousand years, with the decline of the royal way and the rise of independent cities. The City Lord's residence had continuously risen and controlled Flame City.

If the Ye family grew stronger in the future and could not be restrained... It was unimaginable.

"As for the third thing, all of you will witness it. Prince Ye Han has acted against the family, coveting Zixuan's purity, disregarding the family laws, and defying his elders... Our Ye family is ashamed of this. Today, we will strip him of his prince status and demote him to a servant." Ye Yangfu's voice was thunderous.

Stripping the prince status and demoting to a servant?

The people of Flame City had complex expressions. Ye Yangfu had no sons, and Ye Han, who had been adopted by the Ye family over ten years ago, had shown martial talent and entered the Yan Yang Academy, becoming Ye Yangfu's adopted son and enjoying the status of a prince, being groomed as the future head of the family.

Who would have thought that everything would change in a day, and the prince would be stripped of his status? It made sense, as Ye Han was an outsider. Now that Ye Zixuan had risen, with a limitless future, why would the Ye family need to rely on an outsider for the future?

Moreover, it was heard that Ye Han had faced danger in the Cold Abyss Mine for half a year, breaking his qi sea and becoming a cripple.

"Ye old dog, shut up!"

A cold and fierce voice suddenly echoed.
