Chapter 72: Yin Family’s Crisis, the Empress’s Past

Yin Long, observing from the void, felt both anger and helplessness as Ye Lang remained unfazed by the mention of the Yin family’s name.

This time, knowing Yin Yanran was in the remote Qingtian Domain, the family hadn’t dispatched any Great Emperor Realm experts.

Therefore, he currently had no way to deal with Ye Lang.

While he was confident the puppet couldn’t kill him, he also couldn’t forcibly take Yin Yanran away.

Old Fu and Old Yu, standing beside him, clearly realized this as well.

After a long silence, Old Fu descended and stood not far from Yin Yanran, slowly speaking.

“Miss, we came here with no ill intentions!”

“Something happened to the family. The sect ancestor is missing and most likely has perished. The Family Head is severely injured and in a coma…”

“That’s why we want to take you back.”

“What?”

This time, it was Yin Yanran’s turn to lose her composure. Her expression changed drastically.

“How could the sect ancestor’s soul perish… He’s a Saint…”

Yin Yanran murmured, not mentioning the Family Head at all.

“More than a decade ago, a Great Saint’s tomb appeared in the Middle Heaven Realm, attracting countless experts!”

“The ancestor, the Family Head, and many Elders were among them and successfully found the entrance!”

“But three years ago, the sect ancestor’s soul lamp suddenly shattered. Only the Family Head returned, severely injured and immediately fell into a coma!”

“After the news leaked, the family fell into turmoil, and our Holy Clan’s status is barely holding on!”

Old Fu explained in a deep voice.

Yin Yanran stood silently, her expression complex.

Seeing this, Ye Lang stopped controlling the Demonic Puppet and glanced at Old Fu before standing behind Yin Yanran.

Couldn’t you have just talked nicely from the beginning instead of trying to act tough with me!

Ye Lang curled his lip, thinking to himself.

“Then why are you forcibly taking me back?”

Yin Yanran asked.

“That’s the Elders’ decision. I don’t know the specifics!”

“But Miss… The Family Head might not wake up. Won’t you really go back and see him?”

Old Fu said after a long silence, unsure if it was true or not.

Yin Yanran was speechless, seemingly struggling internally.

Behind her, Ye Lang roughly understood what was happening.

The Yin Family Head should be Yin Yanran’s father, but he must have done something to her in the past, causing her to run away from home!

Even now that he was dying, Yin Yanran couldn’t make a decision immediately.

“Give me some time. I need to think about it.”

After a long while, Yin Yanran finally spoke.

In the sky, Yin Long’s expression became anxious.

He knew that bringing Yin Yanran home wasn’t simply for her to see her father.

The family had other motives, needing Yin Yanran for something!

But he dared not say it now!

“You can stay at the Lingxiao Sect. Whether I decide to go back or not, I will tell you!”

Yin Yanran said, then flew towards the secret realm.

Before leaving, she transmitted a message to Ye Lang:

“Ye Lang, please keep an eye on them. Don’t let them cause trouble in the sect.”

“I’m a little confused and want to go back and rest.”

Ye Lang nodded, sensing Yin Yanran’s emotional turmoil.

After Yin Yanran left, Ye Lang stepped forward, pointing at Yin Long and the others.

If you like this book, please add it to your bookshelf so you don’t lose it next time.

“Since the Empress has spoken, you guys stay put in the Lingxiao Sect these next few days.”

“Don’t let me catch you bothering anyone in the sect, or don’t blame me for being impolite.”

As he spoke, Ye Lang patted the incomparably mighty Demonic Puppet beside him.

Yin Long gritted his teeth, wishing he could kill Ye Lang.

But Old Fu and the others shook their heads at him, urging him to endure.

“We won’t cause trouble. We’ll wait here for Miss’s decision!”

Old Fu nodded in response, then looked at the Demonic Puppet again and couldn’t help but ask:

“Are you from the Dark Abyss Palace? The Yin family has always been on good terms with the Dark Abyss Palace…”

“Guess.”

Ye Lang glanced at him and said.

Then he turned and walked towards Su Xuemeng. Seeing him, she hurried to his side and whispered:

“Senior Brother Ye, you’re amazing!”

Ye Lang chuckled softly, ignoring the others, leaving the Demonic Puppet there to maintain order, and went with Su Xuemeng towards the secret realm.

On the Martial Field, Mo Xuanli glanced at the Demonic Puppet and the departing Ye Lang, then followed them towards the Lingxiao Sect’s secret realm.

He didn’t want to ask anything but wanted to take the teleportation formation back to his sect.

After everyone left, Moyu suppressed his shock, dismissed the surrounding disciples, and then arranged for Yin Long and the others to stay in the Lingxiao Sect for a few days.

After today’s events, Ye Lang became famous throughout the Lingxiao Sect once again.

Everyone knew he had a Great Emperor Realm puppet, and his true strength was even greater than the Empress’s!

…

Meanwhile, Ye Lang had already escorted Su Xuemeng to her residence in the secret realm.

Su Xuemeng held Ye Lang’s hand, her pretty face blushing slightly:

“Senior Brother Ye… I miss you so much…”

Ye Lang patted her hand but didn’t dare to get intimate with her here.

No other reason than Yin Yanran was still in the secret realm!

“Junior Sister Su, I still need to watch those people. I’ll spend time with you later.”

Gently telling Su Xuemeng a white lie, Ye Lang excused himself.

Then, he found Yin Yanran in a secluded corner of the secret realm.

At this moment, Yin Yanran was staring blankly into the distance, her expression dazed.

Ye Lang walked over, patted Yin Yanran’s shoulder, and said softly:

“If you don’t want to go back, then don’t. With me here, they can’t do anything to you.”

Yin Yanran turned around and gave Ye Lang a faint smile.

Then she shook her head and said: “You don’t understand what a colossal entity the Yin family is. Even if they’re not in a good situation now, it’s still not difficult for them to send a few Great Emperor Realm experts.”

“Besides… Maybe I should go back and see him.”

Ye Lang was taken aback, then asked:

“Is the Yin Family Head your father?”

Yin Yanran nodded, a trace of sadness in her eyes, hesitant to speak.

Seeing this, Ye Lang couldn’t help but embrace Yin Yanran, a feeling of pity rising in his heart.

The seemingly aloof and ethereal Empress also had such a vulnerable side!

“Is there anything you can’t tell me?”

Yin Yanran looked up at Ye Lang and slowly said:

“Yin Long and I are half-siblings. Back then, my mother… indirectly died at the hands of my father.”

“Not only that, but my innocence was almost ruined by my brothers at the hands of the young clan leader of another Holy Clan!”

“But in order to reach a cooperation with that family, he even wanted me to marry that person!”

“I refused to comply and had no choice but to sever ties with the family and come to the Qingtian Domain!”
