I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 625. Great-Aunt

Upon hearing Ye Lidongjun's stern words, the crowd in the hall erupted in uproar.

Wei Zhong, that great traitor, actually had a son?
Mr. Dongjun even secretly sheltered Wei Zhong's wife and mother for so many years.

In fact, Wei Zhong and a group of generals defected to the enemy's Ezu tribe. According to imperial law, Wei Zhong's family members should have been implicated and executed.

But now it seems that Mr. Dongjun still secretly protected Wei Zhong's wife and mother out of old friendship.

Unfortunately, Wei Zhong's son, Wei Shutong, not only failed to be grateful, but also repaid kindness with ingratitude, stubbornly believing that it was Dongjun who had killed Wei Zhong's wife and mother.

"Mr. Dongjun actually went to such lengths for that traitor."

Amidst the uproar in the main hall, hushed whispers arose.

"It's a pity that Mr. Dongjun's good intentions have been taken for granted."

"However, isn't executing those who protect criminals also within the authority of the Knights of the Apocalypse?"

Everyone instinctively looked toward the center of the hall, at the Apocalypse Knight who was constantly crunching away at his apple.

Shi Qi seemed oblivious to what was happening in the arena, continuing to grin and gnaw on an apple, juice splashing everywhere.

Judging from Shi Qi's appearance, he doesn't seem to be planning to get involved in this matter.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but then looked around warily, trying to find the son of the traitor.

"Little Wei, are you still unwilling to show yourself?"

Ye Lidongjun looked around, nodded, and said calmly, "Since you are here, you should have heard that your youngest adopted son, Xia Feng, kidnapped my wife yesterday."

"In terms of relationship, Xia Feng should call me Grand Uncle. It's a pity that he is so audacious at such a young age! He doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth."

Xia Feng: "?"

Dude, you're really going to take advantage of me like this?
Upon hearing this, Freya's lips unconsciously curled up, almost laughing, and she thought to herself, "You brat, so you should call your teacher 'great-aunt'?"

"."

Although Wei Zhong was Ye Lidongjun's subordinate and confidant, he had once sworn brotherhood with Ye Lidongjun and was a sworn brother of different surnames.

So, in this sense, there is indeed a familial relationship.

However, Xia Feng would not admit it.

"Since you haven't disciplined him properly, I'll have to teach him a lesson for you."

Ye Lidong's gentle smile was tinged with coldness. "But don't worry, your adopted son is still alive. But if you don't show yourself soon, Xiao Wei, I can't guarantee that Xia Feng's life will be spared."

In the main hall, in an inconspicuous spot among the crowd, the middle-aged man, who was looking around in confusion with others, subtly narrowed his pupils.

The middle-aged man wore a top hat, a well-tailored all-black suit, and a gentleman's silver-plated cane, exuding the air of a high-ranking aristocrat.

It blends perfectly into this banquet occasion.

His pupils, which had been slightly constricted, instantly returned to calm and confusion, but the veins on the back of his hand, which was holding the crutch, were faintly bulging.

"You have three seconds to consider." Ye Lidong's commanding voice rang out, like an unquestionable decree of a monarch. "3—"

In the crowd, an inconspicuous gentleman in a top hat had his fingertips white as he secretly gripped the handle of his cane. His knees were slightly bent beneath his suit as he was about to step out of the crowd.

Suddenly, a cold and elegant woman's thoughts echoed in her mind: "Xia Feng is safe; he hasn't been caught."

Startled, his slightly bent knees paused, then hesitantly straightened again.

His rough fingertips loosened, tapping the handle twice lightly, his peripheral vision sending a whiff of direction.

Ok?
Why is it her?

Wei Shutong naturally recognized Freya. He had met her several times in Area 51 and already knew that Freya's true identity was Ye Lidongjun's wife. But how did Xia Feng get involved with Ye Lidongjun's wife?

Wei Shutong fell into deep thought. Rumor had it that Xia Feng had kidnapped Freya.
Could it be that Xia Feng has infiltrated the Sky Fortress again and carried out a second kidnapping? And in front of Ye Lidongjun?

"Xia Feng said to let Ye Lidongjun successfully achieve Saintly Liberation, not to hinder him, and even more so, not to act rashly," Freya's voice rang out again.

Wei Shutong frowned, wondering what benefits Ye Lidongjun could gain from successfully achieving sainthood.

To be honest, he came prepared this time. If he were to make a move now, he would be 30% confident in stopping Ye Lidongjun from achieving his Saintly Explanation, and even 5% confident in killing Ye Lidongjun!
If we don't act now, we won't have such a good opportunity again.

"Where is Xia Feng?" Wei Shutong asked suspiciously in a deep voice.

"He is in a special condition and cannot transmit his voice."

Xia Feng is currently hiding under Freya's skirt in a non-living form, and can only mobilize less than one-thousandth of his spiritual energy. The distance of his telepathic communication is less than one meter.

Therefore, Freya had no choice but to relay the message.

Wei Shutong had his doubts, but he also felt that Freya had already found his true identity, so she wouldn't play him, let alone be in cahoots with Ye Lidongjun.

At least on the surface, that's how it seems.

However, it must be said that Xia Feng is still so unexpected after not seeing him for more than a year.

But in front of Ye Lidongjun, this kid is holding Freya hostage. Freya is a fourth-level spirit master and has dragon blood. Isn't he afraid of messing things up and being killed by Freya?

Just as Wei Shutong was pondering and speculating...

Ye Lidong finished counting to three, then chuckled and shook his head: "It seems, Xiao Wei, you're not very concerned about the life of your adopted son."

"Fine, then you can continue to hide it."

Seeing that he couldn't provoke Wei Shutong, Ye Lidong was not in a hurry. The blood-red vortex in his right eye spun rapidly, with countless dazzling starlight shining inside.

He clearly sensed that the Holy Liberation of Absolute Double Pupils was nearing its end.

"Om-!"

As the light rippled outwards, everyone in the hall felt the gravity field suddenly shift and intensify, making it difficult to breathe, and the ground emitted cracking and collapsing sounds.

The blood-red vortex in Ye Lidongjun's right eye socket sometimes condensed into a blood-red double pupil, and sometimes scattered into countless starlight. As it changed, his handsome face also shone brightly, like a god descending to earth.

"Soon-"

At the same time, his right eye's double pupil solidified into a strange golden color, like two overlapping golden planets, interdependent, orbiting, and swirling around each other.

[Sacred Interpretation Successful—]

At the same time, Ye Lidongjun clearly felt a kind of spiritual pleasure, and his mental strength actually soared by 1000 Soc due to the Holy Understanding.
He closed his eyes, quietly savoring the increase in strength brought about by the Saintly Understanding.

As expected, after evolving into a pseudo-S-class, its abilities were indeed extraordinary.

Ye Lidongjun's lips curled slightly, and with this, his confidence in the upcoming battle for the Sumeru Throne increased even further.

Unfortunately, although his spiritual pressure has reached the required level, he is still unable to advance to the Saint Realm in a short period of time.

But that's alright. If your cultivation level is insufficient, you can make up for it with your bloodline.

Ye Lidong slowly opened his eyes, his indifferent gaze looking down at the second floor in the distance, settling on the cold and beautiful face of the wine-red-haired woman.

A faint smile played on his lips; it was time to begin consuming the dragon cultivation power within Leia's body.

After a day of nourishment, the dragon cultivation power within Leia's body should have already spread out, making this the best time to absorb it!
