This was a very old voice, as if it came from an ancient time and space. When it fell into the ears of anyone who heard it, it was like a graveyard drum and morning bell that woke them up.
At some point in time, an old woman had appeared in the Yang family. Her hair was completely white, and her wrinkles were as old as tree bark. Her body was bent over, and there was a rotten smell coming from her body. She held a walking stick in her hand, and it was as if a gust of wind could blow her old body away.
Beside the old woman were a few men with towering auras. All of them were Saints of the Yang Clan.
Yang Qing originally wanted to crush Yang Wu and the others to death, but after the old woman's voice sounded, his strength disappeared into thin air, and was quickly replaced by fear.
"Greetings, Great-grandmother!" In the next moment, Yang Qing Yuan knelt on the ground.
Apart from him, all the other members of the Yang Family knelt down.
"Greetings, Great-grandmother!" Everyone bowed respectfully, their eyes filled with reverence.
The reason the Yang Clan was able to survive until now was because of this seemingly weak old woman, allowing them to maintain their position as one of the Eight Great Battle Clans. Once this Great-grandmother passed away, no one would be able to replace her position, and the Eight Great Battle Clans would quickly become the Seven Great Battle Clans.
"Yang Wu can be saved!" Yang Jinghai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This Great-grandmother had come out of seclusion because Yang Mingfa had spared no expense to invite her out.
If it was just to let Yang Wu and the others return to the Yang Clan, it wouldn't be worth disturbing this Great-grandmother. However, if it was for Yang Taihe, it was necessary.
"Damn it, how could Yang Mingfa invite Great-grandmother out?" Yang Qing Yuan cursed in his heart.
Yang Wu and the others didn't dare to act rashly. Now that the Great-grandmother of the Yang Clan had appeared, they would die if they acted rashly.
Yang Wu held the Demon Taming Token tightly, not daring to relax for even a moment. If he was forced into a corner, he didn't mind detonating the Demon Taming Token. If it really came to that, everyone in the Yang Clan's outer court would be buried with him.
"To think that the Yang Clan would be ruined by you all. This old woman is truly ashamed to face the ancestors of the Yang Clan." Great-grandmother sighed with a trace of worry.
"Please punish us, Great Grandmother." The Saints behind the Yang Clan lowered their heads and admitted their mistakes.
"Forget it. It's not only because of you that the Yang family has fallen to this state." The Yang family's great-grandmother waved her hand. Then, she asked Yang Wu, "Who is Yang Wu?"
Yang Mingfa hurriedly pointed at Yang Wu who was not far away and said, "That child is Yang Wu."
In the next moment, the Yang Family's great-grandmother looked at Yang Wu. Yang Wu immediately shivered. He felt as if he was naked in front of this grandmother. He had nothing to hide.
"Yang Wu, hurry up and come greet your great-grandmother." Yang Wu called out to Yang Mingfa.
Yang Wu did not reply to Yang Mingfa. His eyes were still filled with hostility. Even though his strength was low, he would definitely not give in easily.
"Yang Wu, what are you waiting for? Don't you want to return to the Yang Family? If Great-grandmother nods, no one dares to say a word. "Yang Jinghai urged from the side.
"You all want to kill me and my grandfather!" Yang Wu replied.
His attitude was very clear. He did not want to return to the Yang Clan. One day, he would be above the Yang Clan and trample them under his feet. Let's see if they still dared to be arrogant towards him.
Yang Mingfa took the opportunity to make things difficult. He shouted at Yang Jinghai, "Jinghai, didn't I tell you to arrange for Yang Jingtao and Yang Wu to return to the clan? They have already completed the redemption mission. Why do we still want to kill them? Is it because my ninth uncle's words no longer hold any weight? "
Yang Mingfa naturally understood that none of this was done by Yang Jinghai. He was scolding Yang Jinghai for those who had chased Yang Wu just now.
However, no matter how much Yang Jingtao begged them, they still wanted to cripple Yang Wu. Even though I strongly opposed it and even requested an imperial edict, it was still blocked by Yang Wu using the courtyard's holy array. Yang Wu was forced to use all kinds of trump cards to protect himself and accidentally killed his own family members. Now, they are being stopped by Qingyuan Divine Elder. I don't understand what kind of heinous crime they have committed to force them to such a state. Yang Wu is someone who is infinitely close to 50% of his bloodline. If he is crippled, it will be a great loss to our Yang Clan. Yang Wu also has the Atavistic Bloodline. May I ask why Qingyuan Divine Elder wants to kill him? Could it be that you want to force our Black Tortoise bloodline to extinction? " Yang Jinghai loudly questioned. Immediately after, he kowtowed to his great grandmother and said, "Great grandmother, please uphold justice. The Azure Bloodline wants to destroy our Yang Clan!"
Yang Jinghai threw caution to the wind. Even if the Yang Clan Head was from the Azure Bloodline, he still had to say all the words in his heart. Otherwise, their Black Tortoise Bloodline's prodigies would become fewer and fewer and they would be suppressed even more. It wouldn't be long before only the Azure Bloodline was left in the Yang Clan.
"Don't speak nonsense. They are originally from the Sinner's Bloodline. They committed a heinous crime and were expelled from the clan, never to return to the Transcendent World. This is a punishment that was set long ago. What is wrong with our Elders banishing them again? Great grandmother, please investigate!" Yang Senye hurriedly explained.
Yang Qingyuan replied, "Great grandmother, I am not very clear about this matter. When I rushed over, I found that someone was killing our Yang Clan's people, so I took action to capture them."
Another Azure Bloodline Elder said, "He killed the Outer Court Patriarch Yang Gexiao and the Fifteenth Elder. This is a heinous crime. Great grandmother, please issue a decree to execute them."
Immediately after, a few more people began to accuse Yang Wu of committing murder and challenging the dignity of the Yang Clan.
At this time, if they did not push all the blame onto Yang Wu, what awaited them would not be good.
Yang Mingfa and Yang Jinghai were quite angry. These people really knew how to play the blame game.
However, it was an indisputable fact that Yang Wu had killed Yang Gexiao and another Elder. If this matter was not resolved properly, they would not be able to keep their lives.
Behind the Yang Clan's great grandmother, a Saint had a complicated expression on his face. He cursed in his heart, "You can't even resolve such a small matter. What a piece of trash."
This person had a dignified appearance and extraordinary might. He had an aura of a high position. He was the Yang Clan's Patriarch, Yang Qingxing.
"If they hadn't forced Yang Wu, how could Yang Wu have killed them? Yang Wu is only in the Heavenly Fish Realm!" Yang Jinghai roared.
Previously, he had put Yang Wu in the City of Redemption with the intention of testing Yang Wu. He did not intend to send Yang Wu to his death. After understanding the specific situation of Yang Wu, he naturally wanted Yang Wu to return to the Yang Clan. Moreover, Yang Wu belonged to the Black Tortoise Bloodline. He absolutely did not want Yang Wu to die young.
Everything from 800 years ago was the past. It was more realistic to cherish the peerless genius in front of him.
The Yang Clan had been in decline for too long. They needed more geniuses with powerful bloodlines to have hope.
As the number one expert of the younger generation of the Yang Clan, Yang Jinghai shouldered such a mission. He also had the identity of a Patriarch Candidate.
Originally, it was not difficult for him to smoothly break through the first-level Celestial Pattern Realm and become a Saint to seize the position of Patriarch. However, the Azure Bloodline had gone too far. They had made it clear that they were against him and forced him to make mistakes.
If today's matter was not resolved, his identity as a Patriarch Candidate would be removed.
However, if he could protect Yang Wu, his identity as a Patriarch Candidate would be removed.
A young man with ancestral bloodline, a Heavenly Alchemist, and a monstrous genius with various Saint-level trump cards was worthy of his protection.
She beckoned to Yang Wu and said, "Child, come over and let Grandma take a look at you."
The voice of the Yang Clan's Great-Grandmother was very kind, as if a grandmother was calling her grandson. Yang Wu actually walked towards her involuntarily.
"Wu 'er!" Yang Jingtao could not help but call out.
Yang Wu did not seem to hear his voice. He continued to walk towards the Yang Clan's Great-Grandmother and soon arrived in front of her.
Yang Wu knelt down on one knee and greeted, "Greetings, Grandma."
The Yang Clan's Great-Grandmother gently stroked Yang Wu's head and said kindly, "Good child, good child. I haven't seen such a spirited child in a long time. You are the blessing of my Yang Clan."
Yang Qingyuan, Yang Senye, and the others' minds instantly went blank. The Yang Clan's Great-Grandmother's words meant that Yang Wu's return to the Yang Clan was already set in stone. Even the Patriarch could not disobey her.
"Grandma, I am not a member of your Yang Clan," Yang Wu said with clear eyes.
He was summoned here, but it did not mean that he was controlled by the Yang Clan's Great-Grandmother. On the contrary, he came here willingly. This Great-Grandmother's status was extraordinary, and he had no reason to refuse.
"Yang Wu, don't be presumptuous!" Yang Mingfa reprimanded.
The Yang Clan's Great-Grandmother smiled and said, "Haha, child, I know you are angry, but it doesn't matter. Grandma will vent your anger for you." The next moment, her tone became fierce and she shouted, "Those who opposed this child's return to the Yang Clan, cripple one of your arms and be punished to guard the World of Battles for ten years."
In an instant, Yang Qingyuan, Yang Senye, and the others' faces became incomparably pale.
The Great-Grandmother had only appeared eight hundred years ago when the Xuan Yuan Clan made a move. After that, she had been in seclusion. No one knew that this Great-Grandmother had once been a decisive person. Now, this Great-Grandmother was angry again. She was actually siding with the youth of the Sinner's Bloodline. It was really inconceivable.
"Hurry up and cripple one of your arms. Do you want to force me to do it personally?" Yang Qingxing, the Patriarch of the Yang Clan, said sternly.
"Yes, Great-Grandmother, thank you for the punishment!" Yang Senye and the others did not dare to delay. They all severed one of their arms and left dejectedly.
The ten Dragon Transformation Realm Elders were now one-armed people.
Yang Qingyuan did not cripple himself. He felt that he would not be punished. After all, he had done it to protect the Yang Clan's Outer Court.
Just as he was feeling lucky, a force suddenly descended upon him, and one of his arms disappeared without a trace.
"Go and guard the World of Battles!"
