“Young Master.”
After sending off Liu Zhen's team, Ye Xuan turned and left, heading towards a hotel.
Entering his room, a middle-aged man clad in black armor was already waiting. A terrifying scar ran across his face, giving him an extremely sharp aura.
He was clearly a high-level 50th-level professional!
“Young Master!”
Seeing Ye Xuan, the middle-aged man's face lit up with joy. “I saw the news, Young Master, you've grown even stronger. If Master were still alive, he would be overjoyed!”
“Uncle Xie.”
Ye Xuan nodded to the middle-aged man, clearly showing him great respect. A look of anticipation crossed his face. “Did everything go smoothly?”
The middle-aged man nodded slowly and said in a low voice, “It went fairly well. Those major guilds have secretly submitted. We've already collected eight Dragon Crystals.”
Hearing this, Ye Xuan nodded slowly, a glimmer of excitement flashing in his eyes.
He carried the burden of his family's annihilation. He had been lying in wait for over a decade, constantly thinking about revenge!
The enemy was just too powerful…
So powerful that most of the time, he could only feel despair, unable to see a glimmer of hope for revenge!
But now, the dawn of revenge was finally in sight…
Ye Xuan clenched his fist tightly, his eyes full of determination.
“One day, the Ye family will return to the pinnacle of the world!”
..........
Twenty years ago, the Ye family was a top-tier noble house, on par with the Qin family of the Imperial Capital!
The Ye family's patriarch, Ye Bu Xian, was an 85th-level Dragon Rider, a legendary powerhouse.
The Origin Guild, founded by the Ye family, had been the Empire's largest guild for centuries, perhaps even the largest guild in the human world.
They commanded hundreds of thousands of professionals. On several occasions, the Ye family, leading the Origin Guild, rushed to the Void Front to repel Void attacks, saving the human world from crisis.
Furthermore, the Ye family was the only known family in the human world, aside from the Imperial family, capable of awakening Dragon-based professions. They were also the possessors of the Apocalypse Codex.
The Ye family had always maintained an excellent relationship with the Imperial family.
However, this prosperous and powerful family was destroyed overnight eighteen years ago.
Several noble houses, led by the Qin family, suddenly launched a surprise attack and besieged the Ye family!
Although Ye Bu Xian was an 85th-level Dragon Rider and had a 70th-level Bronze Giant Dragon mount, he was gradually overwhelmed by Qin Ming and the other noble houses' powerhouses.
The battle was earth-shattering, several cities were affected and turned into ruins.
In the end, Ye Bu Xian fell, and the other high-ranking members of the Ye family were all killed in battle.
The Ye family's direct and collateral branches, hundreds of people, were all executed by the Qin family that night, dying tragically!
The once-grand Origin Guild also collapsed, and all its resources and territory were divided up.
Most of the professionals were incorporated into the military and became second-line troops. The rest were scattered into countless small and medium-sized guilds, divided up by the major families...
The Origin Guild's resources were so vast that it took two years just to divide them up...
...........
Ye Xuan was the lone survivor of the Ye family's annihilation...
His true identity was the heir apparent of the Ye family, the eldest son of Ye Bu Xian, and the successor of the Origin Guild!
He was only five years old when the Ye family was destroyed.
He still remembers vividly the night the Ye family was wiped out.
Because Ye Bu Xian had engaged most of the enemies, Ye Xuan, with the help of a loyal guard who sacrificed his life and the Ye family's spatial anchor, managed to escape the Ye family that night.
Xie Gu, the middle-aged man, was that guard.
“The Qin family…”
Ye Xuan's eyes narrowed, filled with deep hatred.
As a witness to the Ye family's annihilation, he naturally understood what happened that day!
The Ye family… was betrayed and backstabbed by the other Imperial families!
That night, Qin Ming, leading countless Qin family experts and other nobles, suddenly launched a surprise attack on the Ye family! The Ye family was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses.
In their fear, the Ye family asked for help from the other families of the Empire.
However, upon their arrival, these families joined Qin Ming's side and teamed up with the Qin family to attack the Ye family!
Ye Bu Xian and Qin Ming fought for several days before eventually falling, succumbing to their wounds.
After the Ye family was destroyed, Qin Ming, in his capacity as a member of the Imperial Council, announced that the Ye family had colluded with the Void and, after their plan failed, they attempted to anchor the Void in the Empire, welcoming the descent of the Void Terror.
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan's eyes blazed with hatred!
What a joke!
How many times had the Ye family, leading the Origin Guild, rushed to the Void Front to fight the Void Deities? Yet they were accused of colluding with the Void!
These were all just excuses used by the Qin family to silence the people!
Qin Ming's true intention was to seize the Apocalypse Codex from the Ye family!
