"Hahaha, that's right. Without your knowledge, each of our superpower levels has increased by one level."
How about that? Aren't you surprised? Aren't you taken aback? Aren't you so angry you're about to vomit blood? Hahahaha…”
"Ha ha ha ha……"
All the clansmen burst into loud laughter, looking at Yue Futing as if he were a clown.
"You, you guys... Pfft..."
Yue Futing was so angry that he couldn't help but vomit blood.
Seeing this, everyone laughed even louder.
The mocking laughter pierced Yue Futing's eardrums. He was furious and on the verge of madness, roaring at the crowd.
"Stop laughing! All of you, stop laughing! Ahhhhh! I am the chieftain of the Yuezhi! I command you all to stop laughing! Shut up!"
"Shut up! That's impossible, hahahaha..."
Yue Futing was in a panic and vomited blood again.
After spitting out the blood, he collapsed to the ground, too weak to get up. Yet, in his death throes, he raised his head to look at Yue Yuqian, a sinister and maniacal smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
“Yue Yuqian, don’t forget that your grandmother was suppressed in the Five Thunder Pagoda by me. If you kill me, your grandmother will never be able to get out of the Five Thunder Pagoda.”
Yueyu Qian smiled calmly.
"Unfortunately, you are just an outsider, how could you possibly understand the structure of the Five Thunder Pagoda? Let me tell you, the Five Thunder Pagoda is a divine artifact that recognizes its master, and coincidentally, its master is me."
Yue Futing's expression changed drastically. "You are actually the master of the Five Thunder Pagoda? Then why haven't you released Yue Jiao all these years? Humph, don't try to fool me!"
In truth, he had no confidence whatsoever, but he did not want to show any fear, nor did he want to appear weak in front of Yue Yuqian.
As for Yuejiao.
Ha, he'd like to see if she'd aged as much as he had in the last ten years. She was just a woman he'd abandoned and schemed against; what made her think she was better than him in every way?
Yue Yuqian looked at Yue Futing with a cold eye, her eyes full of sarcasm.
"Yue Futing, Yue Futing, even at this point, you still want to deceive yourself. It's utterly laughable. Fine, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll make you completely lose all hope."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yuejiao's figure slowly appeared in front of everyone.
She was wearing an elegant and sophisticated black dress. She was tall and slender with a dignified and beautiful appearance. The signs of aging were not obvious on her.
Although she was over seventy years old, she looked like a middle-aged beauty. Her fair and delicate face was smooth and delicate, without even a single wrinkle.
Upon seeing the long-lost Yuejiao, the members of the Dayue clan were all moved to tears.
"Chieftain, it's the chieftain! Waaah, chieftain, you're finally back!"
"Chieftain, we beg you to take charge of the situation as soon as possible. Our Yuezhi cannot do without you!"
"Chieftain..."
Yue Futing's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
He couldn't accept this fact. Why did Yue Jiao look decades younger than him? Why did Yue Jiao still look the same as she did back then?
On what grounds? What exactly is the basis for this?
Yue Jiao stared coldly at Yue Fu Ting with a chilling smile.
"Zhang Futing, it's been a long time. In just ten years, you've become this inhuman, ghostly figure. Should we say you brought this on yourself, or did you deserve it?"
Zhang Futing!
Yue Futing's body stiffened instantly.
Yes, his real name was Zhang Futing. Back then, for his own ambition, he voluntarily changed his surname to Yue.
Unfortunately, all his scheming throughout his life came to nothing. He ended up with nothing, and he even almost forgot his own surname.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Yue Futing laughed self-deprecatingly. He admitted that the moment he saw Yue Jiao, his long-lost sense of inferiority surged back into his heart.
All he wants is power, immortality, and to be better than Yuejiao in every way. Is he wrong?
As Yue Futing laughed, tears streamed down her face. She met Yue Jiao's icy gaze directly, a sinister smile playing on her lips.
"Yuejiao, things have come to this point, I have nothing more to say. Do whatever you want with me, but please, for the sake of our many years as husband and wife, spare the life of my good-for-nothing son, Zhang Chengzong, okay?"
"No!" Yuejiao refused outright.
“Zhang Futing, our meeting was nothing more than a trap you meticulously set. To be honest, there is no affection between us whatsoever.”
"Ha, how foolish I was back then, blind to fall into your trap, thinking you, Zhang Chengzong, were a man I could entrust my life to."
At this point, Yuejiao gave a self-deprecating laugh, "Hehe, but in the end, not only did you cheat on me, but you also gave birth to a wicked child, and you even tried to seize the entire Yuezhi. You are utterly despicable."
I paid the price for my decision. I am a sinner to the Yuezhi because I let the wolf into their home, and they suffered things they should never have had to go through.
After resolving your matter, I will voluntarily resign as clan chief and hand over full management of the Yuezhi to my granddaughter, Qianqian.
No, no, no!
Yueyuqian immediately frowned and waved her hands repeatedly, as if afraid of getting involved. "Grandmother, I don't want to be the clan leader. Please, don't put such a heavy burden on my shoulders."
"Qianqian".
Yuejiao found it amusing. "Don't forget, you are the Holy Maiden of the Great Yuezhi, and you have the responsibility to support the entire Great Yuezhi."
Besides, you are your grandmother's only granddaughter. If the Yuezhi aren't handed over to you, are they going to hand you over to someone else?
Yueyuqian was completely devastated, looking at Yuejiao with a pitiful, mournful face.
“Grandmother, I’ve been imprisoned for ten years. I have no idea what the outside world is like now. I have two children, and I haven’t even met them yet. I also…”
In short, I have many things to do and no time to manage clan affairs. I would appreciate it if you, Grandmother, could continue to manage them, and I will assist you from the side.
"You, I really don't know what to say to you?"
Yuejiao affectionately tapped Yueyuqian's nose, then let out a long sigh.
“Qianqian, since neither of us is willing, let’s just hand over Dayuezhi to Weiwei. Anyway, Dayuezhi will be handed over to her sooner or later.”
Yueyu Qian breathed a sigh of relief and immediately clapped her hands in approval, "This idea is excellent, Grandmother is brilliant!"
Vivi?
The Weiwei they're talking about must be that brat Sheng Lingwei.
Yue Futing's pupils suddenly contracted, and he felt unwell all over.
Hmph! Comparisons are the thief of joy!
He devoted so much effort to obtaining the Yuezhi, yet Yuejiao and his grandson discarded it like trash, seemingly indifferent to power.
This made him extremely unhappy.
Since they don't care about power, they should just hand over the Yuezhi to him. Why bother coming out to force him to step down?
He was experienced and no less capable than a young girl who had just come of age. Why would they entrust the Yuezhi to a young girl?
Thinking of this, Yue Futing became agitated and loudly objected.
"Yuejiao, I disagree. I disagree with handing the Yuezhi over to Sheng Lingwei. She's just a young girl. What makes her better than me?"
