The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 1250 - 1251: As Expected, There’s a Major Problem

Yan Zhengfei's words left the elders of the Flame Gold Clan hesitant and uncertain.

"Yan Yifei is already close to death. You're just protecting a dead man," Yan Zhengfei sneered at the elders in front of him, "Even if you manage to drive me away, so what?"

"From now on, the Flame Gold Clan will have no Martial Artist above the Fifth Level in the Entering Dao Realm. How does that make you an Overlord Level power?"

Yan Zhengfei's words caused Yan Rulie's expression to change drastically. His words highlighted exactly what he was worried about.

Without his father and Yan Zhengfei, the Flame Gold Clan would have no Soul Martial Artist above the Fifth Level in the Entering Dao Realm. Such an Overlord Level power would be nothing but a paper tiger, declining day by day.

Compared to other Overlord Level forces, it would be in an extremely weak position.

Seeing the elders' wavering attitudes, Yan Rulie couldn't help but want to shout out loud that his father would soon be healed.

But just as he was about to shout, Lin Qian's voice emerged in his mind, stopping him: "Don't say anything; wait silently for your father's recovery."

Yan Rulie didn't understand why Lin Qian wanted him to do this.

Although he knew Yan Rulie must be very confused, Lin Qian had no plan to explain. He just watched Yan Zhengfei in front of him.

At the same time, his Soul Consciousness had quietly enveloped the other's body.

With his current Soul Strength, his Soul Consciousness was extraordinarily powerful. Even when probing Yan Zhengfei, the latter would not feel anything.

All the findings Lin Qian uncovered were transmitted to Xuanhuan Star for analysis by the Heavenly Art Department.

Yan Zhengfei definitely had a problem.

Originally, Lin Qian thought that since his grandfather was willing to help save the Flame Gold Clan, the clan must not be a vile group.

Earlier, when Yan Rulie mentioned his uncle Yan Zhengfei's betrayal of his father, his disbelief was too obvious, clearly unexpected.

Even while recounting the story, Yan Rulie couldn't help but express his confusion more than once.

In the past, his uncle Yan Zhengfei treated Yan Rulie so well, even considering him as his son due to having no offspring. He was also deeply respectful and affectionate towards his father. Why would he end up like this?

Lin Qian stopped Yan Rulie from speaking to prevent Yan Zhengfei from becoming cautious.

At this moment, Yan Zhengfei's arrogance would make it easier to reveal flaws.

"Wei Shen, are you also planning to interfere in this?" While walking, Yan Zhengfei glanced at Wei Ziliang, "This is a matter of our clan. Isn't it inappropriate for you to meddle?"

Wei Ziliang squinted his eyes slightly, staring at Yan Zhengfei for a long time before waving his hand, "I don't intend to interfere. But this is the treasured disciple of my grandson, so I have to ensure his safety."

Then Wei Ziliang signaled to Lin Qian with a look.

Lin Qian nodded and stepped away from Yan Rulie's side, followed by the four youths from the Four Clans, gathering beside Wei Ziliang.

However, in the crowd, a vicious gaze suddenly appeared, belonging to a Four-Eyed Spirit Clan strongman in the Entering Dao Realm.

The reason for his fierce gaze was naturally due to Lin Qian smashing Yang Huakun into a meat patty.

He dared not act rashly with Wei Ziliang present.

Additionally, there seemed to be trouble within the Flame Gold Clan, prompting him to send intelligence back to his clan first.

"Something's wrong, how has Yan Zhengfei become like this?" Wei Ziliang quietly transmitted with his Soul Consciousness to Lin Qian, "I've met Yan Zhengfei in the past. He was very gentle and can be considered a strategist of the Flame Gold Clan. But now, he's too ruthless and eerily cold. Isn't he..."

"A fake, his true form isn't of the Flame Gold Clan." Lin Qian looked at Yan Zhengfei, clicking his tongue in wonder, "Disguised as Yan Zhengfei and then using this identity to impersonate Yan Yifei, this is indeed interesting."

As he spoke, Lin Qian received results from the Heavenly Art Department: "Even more interesting, this guy's real identity is that of the Netherworld Clan."

"Infiltrating everywhere, huh?"

Wei Ziliang gasped, not expecting to encounter the Netherworld Clan even here.

However, what was the Netherworld Clan infiltrating the Flame Gold Clan for? And judging by appearances, the purpose seemed to be to take control of the Flame Gold Clan.

"It's clear the Netherworld Clan has designs on the Flame Gold Clan; otherwise, they wouldn't do such things." Lin Qian said quietly, "Let's wait and see if there's any breakthrough."

Wei Ziliang nodded, listening to Lin Qian's advice.

Meanwhile, as the elders hesitated, Yan Zhengfei suddenly stopped, sighed deeply, and said: "Lier, your uncle's actions are truly out of necessity."

"Think about it, why should our Flame Gold Clan abide by an elusive vow, standing guard over this region? In the past, we clearly had the strength to expand our Territory, yet every Clan Leader strictly adhered to the rules, guarding this small corner?"

"For the future of our clan, there must be a Clan Leader who breaks the rules."

"I know my methods are a bit extreme, but I can assure you, as long as you're willing to hand over the Flame Gold Seal to me, I guarantee your father will recover and be out of danger."

"Dear elders, I can also guarantee that under my leadership, the Flame Gold Clan will become even stronger in the future."

The elders were silent upon hearing his words. The surrounding onlookers also began whispering to each other.

"The Flame Gold Clan's ancestral rule seems to be that regardless of strength development, they can only maintain this Flame Gold Realm's Boundary, without expansion."

"Indeed, it's really strange, and nobody understands the reason behind it."

"This Boundary is indeed suitable for the Flame Gold Clan's survival, but the northern Scorching Territory offers better conditions, yet they've never expanded there, even when conditions allowed."

While people discussed, Lin Qian smiled: "Look, here's the flaw. The reason the Netherworld Clan disguised itself, as he admitted, is for the Flame Gold Seal."

"The Flame Gold Seal is just a symbol of being Clan Leader in the Flame Gold Clan, a Saint-grade Upper Stage Soul Device, seemingly nothing extraordinary." Wei Ziliang frowned and said, "I've even handled that seal before."

"Oh?" Lin Qian looked at Wei Ziliang with a knowing smile and asked, "Is it so easy to let you handle a Flame Gold Clan heirloom?"

"My young master, I wouldn't be allowed to play with it, but the owner of the seal once came to this Flame Gold Clan and asked Yan Yifei for it. He wouldn't dare refuse the master's request." Wei Ziliang replied, showing a nostalgic expression, "At that time, when I asked to see it, the master gave it to me, and this seal really seemed..."

Lin Qian smiled, with an enlightened look.

Wei Ziliang, seeing Lin Qian's expression, stopped mid-thought, realizing: "I understand now, this seal indeed has a problem."
