Northern Star Territory.
Outside the royal city.
Since dawn, some people have gathered in front of the city gate. As the sun reaches noon, all the cultivators in the entire royal city have appeared here, including of course people from the four major families in the Northern Star Region.
But at this moment, all the Ye family members were kneeling outside the city gate. They all looked shocked and sad. Many young disciples were frightened and at a loss. It was as if their backbone had been ripped away and they were about to collapse. on the ground.
The three figures standing in front of the Ye family were looking towards the top of the city wall. The three of them looked very shocked because there was actually a head hanging on the city wall.
No one knows when the head appeared here, and no one saw who hung it up, but all of this happened last night.
After Yu Wenhai saw the head clearly, he turned around slowly and sighed.
"It's only been two years!"
Immediately, Liu Qian beside him nodded and sighed.
"Yeah, it's only been two years, which is incredible."
The person on the other side of Yu Wenhai was Wu Biao, the head of the Wu family. He looked at Liu Qian and Yu Wenhai with doubts and asked.
"What exactly happened two years ago?"
Yu Wenhai did not answer Wu Biao's inquiry. He just walked up to everyone in the Ye family, waved to the guards on the side and said.
"Take it off and give it back to them!"
After receiving the order, the guards walked towards the tower, while Liu Qian came to Wu Biao and whispered.
"From now on, there are only three major families in the Northern Star Territory."
Wu Biao still didn't quite understand what he said, so he asked again.
"Did he just die like this? You must know that Ye Qing has broken through the sixth level of the stars not long ago. Who killed him?"
Liu Qian shook his head and said.
"It doesn't matter who it is, because Ye Qing is already dead, and there is no point in pursuing this matter anymore. Besides, he can even kill Ye Qing, so what can you and I do?"
Wu Biao sighed immediately.
"Having said that, will the Territory Lord really let Ye Qing die in such an unexplained way?"
Liu Qian winked at Wu Biao and said.
"The domain lord makes his own decision."
When Wu Biao heard Liu Qian's words, he stopped talking.
After a while, the guard returned the Ye Qing head to the Ye family. In addition, the guard also had a letter in his hand.
Yu Wenhai's face became a little ugly after reading the letter. However, after calming down, he said to everyone in the Ye family.
"Take Chief Ye back and bury him properly!"
However, at this moment, the queen and Yuwen Tiantong came from the city. When they came forward and found Ye Qing's head, the queen immediately fell to the ground and cried bitterly.
Upon seeing this, Yuwen Tiantong quickly knelt down to support the queen, and turned to ask Yuwen Hai with an angry look.
"Are you just going to sit back and do nothing?!"
Seeing this, Yu Wenhai replied helplessly.
"Take your mother back first."
The queen saw that Yu Wenhai could still be so calm even at this time. She really couldn't understand what Yu Wenhai was thinking.
Just listen to the queen saying sadly.
"Grandpa was killed, and you turned a blind eye. Did I marry the leader of the party, or did I commit myself to a coward?!"
Hearing his mother's words, Yuwen Tiantong felt the same way, but he knew that in the eyes of everyone, if his mother did not pay attention to his words and deeds, he would probably make it impossible for his father to step down.
So, Yuwen Tiantong whispered to the queen.
"Mother, let's bury my grandfather first and then return to the palace."
When the queen heard that even her own son was so ruthless, she said even more angrily.
"You, father and son, are of the same mind, right? Have you forgotten who helped you conquer this territory in the first place? Now that my grandfather has lost his head, even my husband and biological son are indifferent. Is this really justified?"
Seeing the queen's grief-stricken look, Yu Wenhai couldn't bear it. After all, they had been married for decades, and Ye Qing's death really made him feel a little guilty.
So, Yu Wenhai walked up to the queen, slowly leaned over and raised his hand to caress the queen's cheek and said softly.
"Hui'er, please go back first, okay?"
However, Yu Wenhai's act of pity did not earn the queen's forgiveness. She just threw away Yu Wenhai's hand and yelled angrily.
"I don't have a heartless husband like you, and I don't want to be the queen of a coward like you anymore. From now on, we are done with each other. This Northern Star Territory is the territory that our Ye family gave to you, a hypocrite. You should guard it well!"
Immediately, the queen took Ye Qing's head and said to everyone in the Ye family.
"Come back to Ye's house with me!"
But as soon as the queen finished speaking, she heard Yu Wenhai yell angrily.
"presumptuous!"
The queen said fearlessly upon hearing this.
"I should have acted recklessly, otherwise I wouldn't have watched my two brothers and grandfather being killed one after another. Now I have nothing to do with you. Our Ye family will be at odds with your Yuwen family from now on!"
After hearing the queen's words, Yu Wenhai was silent for a moment, then waved his hands to the guards on the left and right and ordered.
"Come here, take the queen back to the palace!"
"yes!"
The guards present immediately stepped forward after receiving the order. However, Yuwen Tiantong stopped at this time.
"You all stop!"
The guards who wanted to get close to the queen were at a loss for a moment, and then they all turned their attention to Yu Wenhai, but they heard Yu Wenhai yell angrily.
"Why are you still standing there? Can't you hear my order?!"
Only then did the guards realize that Yu Wenhai was the real domain lord of the Beitian Star Territory, so they immediately stepped forward to take the queen away.
But just when they reached a distance of two feet in front of the queen, they were knocked away by a powerful soul attack.
"You are seeking death!"
The queen looked around at the guards who fell to the ground and cursed angrily.
"Even you idiots want to touch me. If you dare to do this again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
When everyone saw the queen's determination, they didn't dare to step forward. After all, the queen was still a cultivator in the star realm, and ordinary guards in the soul realm were no match for her.
At this time, even Liu Qian and Wu Biao hurried forward and said to Yu Wenhai.
"Lord, calm down!"
Immediately, Liu Qian turned to the queen and said.
"Clan Chief Ye died unfortunately and should be buried as soon as possible. However, the queen must not be distracted by excessive sadness. She should consider the long term according to the wishes of the Territory Lord!"
Although Liu Qian was trying to persuade the queen on the surface, in fact he was just trying to win over the power of the Ye family, because now that Ye Qing is dead, the Ye family will inevitably be leaderless. This is a good opportunity for him to win over people.
But what he didn't expect was that Queen Ye Hui's character was so strong-willed that she insisted on breaking up with the domain lord. If Ye Hui returned to the Ye family, she would naturally take over as the head of the Ye family. She would be the one who wanted him to win over the Ye family. The power is extremely disadvantageous.
Therefore, Liu Qian tried his best to persuade the queen not to fall out with the domain lord. Of course, this was also because he could see that Yu Wenhai still had a deep affection for the queen.
However, although Wu Biao, who was also one of the four major families, was shocked by Ye Qing's murder, he quickly guessed some clues from the conversation between the domain lord and the queen.
Seeing Liu Qian actually persuading the queen at this moment, it was obvious that he had premeditated it. Otherwise, how could he, who originally served the Ye family, change his attitude so quickly and show his favor to the domain lord instead.
After understanding Liu Qian's thoughts, Wu Biao naturally would not settle for second place. After all, the Wu family had always supported the Yuwen family, so he had no reason to let Liu Qian act as a peacemaker at this time.
So Wu Biao also spoke to the queen.
"Queen, calm down. We are all shocked by the death of Patriarch Ye. I believe the Territory Lord is also very sad. It is not appropriate for the Queen to leave the Yuwen family at this time.
I hope you can calm down first and wait until the truth about this matter comes to light before making any fuss. This will better maintain the stability of the Ye family, right? "
Wu Biao's words were a hint to the queen that if she insisted on leaving Yuwenhai, it would mean that the Ye family would be isolated, and with her strength, she might not be able to maintain the Ye family's position in the Beitian Star Territory.
It's just that the two of them had their own evil intentions and completely ignored the fact that the queen was just a woman. Although her scheming and methods were not weak, that was limited to the situation where she could control everything in the palace.
Now, the queen knew that her grandfather Ye Qing was most likely killed by Yu Wenyan. Although she did not believe that Yu Wenyan had such strength, she had long known that Yu Wenyan had become Dange Pavilion two years ago. host.
So, I just heard the queen reply in a cold voice.
"Now that grandpa is dead, the Ye family really has no ability to join you as one of the four major families, but you teamed up to threaten a woman like me, don't you feel ashamed?!"
Liu Qian and Wu Biao were speechless upon hearing this. Although they were a little displeased, they did not dare to be rude to the queen in front of Yu Wenhai. Even if they had a stalemate, Yu Wenhai seemed not to let go.
Of course, Liu Qian and Wu Biao also knew that since they could think of things, how could Yu Wenhai not think of them.
Therefore, Yu Wenhai's unwillingness to break with the queen does not rule out that he wants to annex the Ye family, so that the Yuwen family can become the dominant family in the Northern Star Territory and truly become the master of the Northern Star Territory.
However, at this moment, Yu Wenhai's figure flashed and appeared beside the queen with extremely fast movement. Before the queen could react, she felt dizzy in her mind and then lost consciousness.
Yuwenhai took the opportunity to hold the queen in his arms, and turned to Yuwen Tiantong beside him.
"You first bury Patriarch Ye on behalf of your mother, and then return to the palace to report back to me!"
Yuwen Tiantong was originally shocked when he saw his father suddenly taking action against his mother. However, when he learned that his father just didn't want the matter to continue to be deadlocked, so he knocked the queen unconscious, he realized that his father had already dealt with this matter. Having a choice, he could only do what his father wanted.
Afterwards, Yuwen Tiantong came to the queen, took the grandfather's head from her arms and said to the people of the Ye family.
"Come back with me to bury grandpa!"
Then, Yuwen Tiantong took everyone in the Ye family back to the city, while Yuwen Hai looked at the unconscious queen in his arms and sighed helplessly.
"No matter what happens, I will save your life!"
Immediately, Yu Wenhai picked up the queen and walked towards the city.
