I am darkness, I will suppress all enemies

In a side hall.

Ye Lu's figure appeared here. He looked at the empty hall, and then his eyes fell on a scroll hanging on the wall.

The scene in the scroll is a middle-aged man sitting cross-legged under a willow tree with his eyes closed, his brows looking extremely weathered.

If someone looks carefully, they will find that Ye Lu's facial features are somewhat similar to the man in the painting...

"Grandpa, He'er has gotten into big trouble."

Ye Lu spoke respectfully towards the scroll, and the scene looked extremely strange.

However, the next moment, something even stranger happened.

The weathered man sitting cross-legged in the painting slowly opened his eyes, then turned his head to look at Ye Lu and responded indifferently:

"I already know what happened. You don't have to worry about it. Ye Guhuang will come to find me."

"Grandpa, let's go and apologize and compensate, can we solve this matter?"

"It's not as simple as you think."

The man in the painting spoke expressionlessly.

"Ye Guhuang wanted to take down some people he thought had ulterior motives before he died, so this conflict was the best opportunity for him to hold those in the side branches accountable."

"Haha, I'm no match for him. If someone from the side branch helps me, then that would be exactly what he wants."

Ye Lu's heart trembled when he heard this.

"No! Grandpa! We can't just blindly fight to the death with Ye Guhuang! He represents the direct lineage! He'er is being used as a knife! He knows nothing!"

"It doesn't matter. Someone has been plotting against He'er for a long time. There's nothing to say about provoking a dispute now. There's no point in begging for mercy or apologizing."

"If Ye Guhuang wants to fight, then go ahead. Even though I can't defeat him, I won't die so easily in his hands."

"No! Grandpa! According to what you said, even if Ye Guhuang can't kill you, he will definitely find a way to accuse you and the collateral relatives who help us of treason!"

Ye Lu knelt on the ground with a plop and spoke in a trembling voice:

"When the Immortal Ancestor finds out, he will probably kill us regardless of the reason!! The Immortal Ancestor will not distinguish between the reason and the truth! He will only favor the direct descendants!!"

"Hehehehe..."

The weathered man in the painting smiled faintly when he heard this.

"In the Night Clan, the only one who has the ability to kill priests at will is the Immortal Ancestor."

"But don't you know what's happening to Ye Lu and Xian Zu now?"

Ye Lu was stunned when he heard this, and then a chill rushed into his heart! He looked at the man in the scroll in disbelief.

The news that the Immortal Ancestor was surrounded and attacked in the outside world, and even killed by the End of the Origin, spread throughout the world. How could they not know?

Belief and disbelief are just a matter of thought.

Does Ye Lu believe it? Of course he doesn't.

But at this moment, Ye Lu discovered a terrible fact, that is, his grandfather seemed to believe it.

In other words, even if Grandpa didn't believe that the Immortal Ancestor was dead, he also believed that the Immortal Ancestor had been injured unimaginably and would not appear again for a long time...

Because there is one fact that proves it all.

That is the current situation in the world.

If the Immortal Ancestor was still alive, how could he tolerate someone in the Ten Thousand Worlds breaking through the eighth level! Or even the ninth level...

………………

"No!! No! Grandpa!! No! You can't do this!! You will drag everyone in our family into the abyss!!"

"The Immortal Ancestor is not dead! The mark of his soul that he left in our bodies is still there! Maybe the current situation in the Ten Thousand Worlds is the result of his planning for some purpose!"

"Let's go and explain everything to Ye Guhuang! I'll beg for mercy from him, or even hand He'er over to him!"

"We absolutely cannot go to war with the direct line at this time!! We can't bet on the disappearance of the Immortal Ancestor!! We can't afford to lose! We can't afford to lose at all!"

At the end of his speech, Ye Lu was almost roaring.

"It's useless, Ye Lu."

The man in the painting slowly spoke:

"It's no use begging for mercy. The direct lineage doesn't trust the collateral lineage, especially after experiencing the betrayal of Bai Yuanlou and the incident with the Immortal Ancestor. This distrust has become more serious..."

"Before Ye Guhuang died, if the Immortal Ancestor had not shown up, he would have definitely attacked us, the side branches, and killed one or two of the forces that posed the greatest threat to the main branch."

"And unfortunately, our lineage is among them."

"You have to see through this. Whether you beg him or not, it won't change anything..."

The man in the painting slowly stood up, reached out and broke off a willow branch, then slowly spoke:

"A man is innocent, but guilty of possessing a treasure"

"In the Night Clan without the Immortal Ancestor to suppress everything, even if we have no other intentions, we have the ability to rebel."

"And this is our death sentence..."
