"Patriarch, that boy Ye Huan is far too arrogant. All the great families of the Ancient Martial Realm have severed ties with our Di Family because of him. We must respond with the most decisive actions to show the Ancient Martial Realm that the true sovereign is still the Di Family, Ye Huan is nothing! Otherwise, we will inevitably fall from grace and weaken."

"This is intolerable! Because of a mere Ye Huan, our Di Family has lost too much profit. I propose deploying all the elite Dark Guards of the Di Family to assassinate Ye Huan and crush his talent and potential in the cradle!"

"Yes, assassinate him! Assassinate Ye Huan!"

The people of the Di Family nearby were furious, raising their arms and clamoring for Di Lunhui to deploy Dragon Gate's Dark Hall assassins against Ye Huan!

"No!" Di Lunhui instantly vetoed the idea, gripping the back of a chair tightly, his face extremely sullen: "The woman who 'revived' Ye Huan is an Extreme Divine King. With her protecting Ye Huan, even if Dark Hall sends all their forces, they would be annihilated in her hands; it's absolutely impossible to successfully assassinate Ye Huan."

"Then what? We can't just let Ye Huan continue to ride over the Di Family!" The Di Family people felt aggrieved.

Once upon a time, they used their status to be domineering wherever they went in the Ancient Martial Realm, with people fighting to ingratiate themselves with the Di Family.

And now?

Due to bearing the name "Di," they have become loathed by everyone, turned into mice shunned by the whole Ancient Martial Realm, unable to collect any more tribute or treasures!

They can't accomplish anything!

The loss is so tremendous that they are all infuriated!

And all of this is thanks to Ye Huan!

This despicable boy, why does he have such astounding talent in Ancient Martial Medical Techniques and Ancient Martial Arts?

He made the Ancient Martial Realm believe his potential is so high that he could replace the Di Family as the new ruler, leading to the Di Family being sidelined and losing benefits!

Thinking of this, the Di Family people are even more frantic: "Patriarch, why don't we use all the Di Family's power, you lead the team yourself, and exterminate Ye Huan collectively?!"

"Fool!" Di Lunhui berated the person who made the suggestion: "If the Di Family dares do such a thing, once the other families of the Ancient Martial Realm get the news, they'll join forces to scatter my Di Family's ashes!"

"Then... what shall we do? We truly don't want to see Ye Huan live in comfort any longer!"

"There's no other way. We must temporarily shelve this matter, investigate that woman's identity and background first, and then formulate a plan based on the situation!" Di Lunhui's eyes were grim; taking a deep breath, he forced himself to calm down from his boundless anger, making the most suitable decision for now.

The other people of the Di Family also had to accept this resolution, unable to refute it.

After all, that woman is too bizarre!

Lying in a coffin for a thousand years, Ye Huan awakened her, and she immediately displayed terrifying strength as an Extreme Divine King!

It's known that the two Extreme Divine Kings currently in Huaxia are both over two hundred years of age!

Dishi Tian is even three hundred!

And that woman? Reportedly, she looks around twenty-five at most!

An Extreme Divine King at twenty-five, impossible!

Starting martial arts training in the womb wouldn't allow such attainment at this age!

This matter certainly has many oddities! 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Originally, after obtaining the Xiao Family's Divine Artifact, our Di Family would have gained stronger survival capabilities in the upcoming great disaster, but Ye Huan emerged suddenly, shattering the dream the Di Family had for thirty years into a puff of smoke."

"Given the current situation, obtaining the Xiao Family's Divine Artifact is impossible."

"Our only hope must rest on our family's own experiments, which must be expedited!"

Di Lunhui heavily slapped the chair's arm, his face dark as water.

At that moment, a Di Family member standing by, dressed as a researcher in a white coat, spoke gravely: "Patriarch, the situation is exceedingly dire. We've reached a point where time is pressing. I believe perhaps the Di Family should sacrifice some things, seize some people to assist in the experiments..."

"Absolutely not!" Before he could finish, Di Lunhui resolutely cut him off, speaking sternly: "Forever dismiss that thought!"

"Our Di Family has indeed acted dominantly for thousands of years in the Ancient Martial Realm, making many enemies, and have now broken ties with all other families, but don't forget, the Di Family represents the strongest family in Dragon Gate! And Dragon Gate represents the highest combat power on the Huaxia lands!"

"Dragon Gate is Huaxia's Guardian God. As the strongest family within, we naturally bear the important responsibility of safeguarding Huaxia! Such boundary-breaking acts like harming the people of Huaxia, my Di Family must never commit, nor foster any heinous thoughts related to them!"

Di Lunhui's words were sonorous and forceful, leaving no room for negotiation, cloaking the entire scene in silence.

The Di Family members seemed hesitant, clearly unconcerned about the lives of ordinary Huaxians.

They only care whether the Di Family can continue, allowing them to indulge in extravagant lavishness.

For this purpose, in their view, capturing some people for experiments to push the Di Family's progress isn't unjustifiable.

But due to Di Lunhui's authority, none dared express their thoughts.

"What about the Empress? Is there any news on the girl? Dissecting the Empress, studying the meridian structure and genetic sequence within her body, our experiments will have a high chance of breakthrough!" Di Lunhui inquired.

Someone responded: "Report patriarch, Lord Di Yuntian has been in seclusion for days, lurking around Capital City's Tingxiang Pavilion, yet hasn't caught a glimpse of the Empress."

"How is that possible?" Di Lunhui raised a brow: "The Empress has only one friend below the mountain, Ye Huan. She was wronged by Di Asura's slap, and left home in a fury, seeking Ye Huan alone. She has been away for a while, surely she should have reached Capital City, going to Tingxiang Pavilion to find Ye Huan."

As Di Lunhui finished speaking, a gloomy and deep middle-aged male voice came from outside the side hall door.

"Why has the Empress vanished without a trace? It's simple, thanks to Ye Huan!"

"As far as I know, when Di Yuntian reached Capital City, his first act was to go to Tingxiang Pavilion to inform Ye Huan about the Empress leaving home, inquiring whether Ye Huan had received any calls or seen the Empress. With his denial, Di Yuntian requested Ye Huan to contact him should the Empress arrive at Tingxiang Pavilion."

"Ye Huan didn't agree, leaving Di Yuntian to lurk around Tingxiang Pavilion for surveillance! Yet so many days have passed, the Empress still hasn't appeared!"

"What does this imply? It implies Ye Huan is surely opposing our Di Family, deliberately contacting the Empress, informing her of someone descending the mountain to find her!"

"The Empress is still upset, unwilling to be found by the Di Family members! Thus, secretly contacting Ye Huan, he surely hid her somewhere!"

"Ye Huan does this to irk the Di Family deliberately, secretly hiding the Empress to prevent us from finding her!"
