Hearing the newcomer's voice, Ye Bufan abruptly looked up, his body trembling uncontrollably.
He pointed at the person and roared, "Jiang... you surname Jiang! You..."
Bang!
Jiang Ye directly interrupted his spellcasting with a single strike, hitting him hard on the forehead.
Ye Bufan was sent flying backward, a large bump instantly rising on his head, looking utterly disheveled.
"Speak properly!"
Jiang Ye reminded him with a smile, his tone gentle but carrying an inexplicable pressure.
He walked up to Ye Bufan and added, "Aren't you going to thank me? I've prepared such a grand welcoming gift, so your family can reunite, all neatly together on their way."
Ye Bufan's nose bled profusely, and he struggled to prop himself up, his eyes filled with resentment and hatred.
"You... what exactly do you want..."
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Jiang Ye swung the baseball bat, hitting Ye Bufan repeatedly, each strike avoiding vital points but causing him such pain that he nearly fainted.
"Quickly, thank me!"
Ye Bufan felt as if his entire body was fractured, the intense pain making him momentarily unable to distinguish who was who, and he actually burst into tears, whimpering.
Beside him, Ye Father knelt on the ground, his eyes filled with despair, pleading with Your Highness Jiang Ye, "Your Highness, please stop hitting him.
I don't know why my son offended you..."
"Old man, did I tell you to speak?"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Before Jiang Ye's words finished, the bat had already landed.
In an instant, Ye Father was also battered and bloody, looking utterly miserable.
Brutal!
Too brutal!
Everyone remained prostrate on the ground, not daring to breathe loudly.
No one dared to say anything, their hearts in agony, only hoping this farce would end quickly.
They would never join in such a commotion again.
Jiang Ye then turned to look at Ye Bufan again, raising the baseball bat high, and said with a grin, "Still not thanking me quickly?"
Ye Bufan convulsed all over, his face alternating between red and white, his lips trembling.
He gave a tragic laugh and said, "You... if you want to kill, then kill! But don't even think..."
Bang! Bang bang!!
Another round of 'bat education'.
"I... I... I was wrong, thank you..."
Ye Bufan finally couldn't hold back and burst into tears.
Ding! The Protagonist of Destiny Ye Bufan cried bitterly, his Luck value decreased by 50 points!
Congratulations to Master for gaining +50 Villain Points!
Only then did Jiang Ye nod with satisfaction.
He strolled leisurely back and forth in front of the three, his steps unhurried.
He didn't speak, just paced back and forth, but it was like the tolling of a death knell, striking at everyone's hearts.
Tap, tap, tap... This simple sound of footsteps sounded like a death drumbeat in everyone's ears.
Li Kaobei, who was beside them, finally couldn't hold back and spoke tremblingly, "Your Highness, I wonder how you intend to deal with us..."
Bang! Bang bang!!
Before his words finished, Jiang Ye, without even looking at him, swung the bat and gave him a severe beating.
Li Kaobei immediately screamed repeatedly, the pain piercing to his bones, writhing miserably on the ground.
Although his cultivation was higher than Jiang Ye's, Jiang Yi's Emperor's Might had been suppressing him, making it difficult for him to even move.
"As expected of a System product, hitting anyone is like hitting an ordinary person.
No matter how high their cultivation, it's useless..."
Jiang Ye thought to himself, then hit Ye Bufan on the head twice more.
"Wuwu... I didn't say anything..."
"What's wrong with finding you an eyesore? Why aren't you thanking me quickly!?"
"Wuwu... thank you..."
Ye Bufan was utterly exasperated.
In his past training experiences, his resistance to blows was top-notch, but for some reason, here, these inexplicable bat strikes, while seemingly not causing much damage, inflicted an unbearable pain.
It made his screams sound like whimpers.
He was afraid of being hit again.
He surrendered.
Jiang Ye pondered for a moment, feeling that continuing to hit him wouldn't yield more Villain Points.
Ye Bufan was almost on the verge of idiocy and collapse.
He needed to give him some hope.
"Jiang Yangzhou, come out."
In the sky, the Nine Dragon chariot was suspended, and a man and a woman appeared, then slowly descended to the ground.
"Your Highness!" X2
"Hmm, Liu Mei, right? Go kneel beside Ye Bufan!"
Liu Mei's delicate body trembled slightly.
She glanced at the bloody and battered Ye Bufan and Ye Father on the ground, her heart filled with extreme fear.
Initially, she was just a female cultivator in the Barren Mountain Realm.
Later, Jiang Yangzhou brought her to the Upper Realm, where she endured over a decade of arduous labor.
Only then did she gradually understand what a terrifying existence the Everlasting Immortal Clan Jiang Family truly was.
It was truly the undisputed First Immortal Clan among all the heavens.
She didn't even dare to entertain the slightest thought of resistance and immediately prostrated herself beside Ye Bufan.
Seeing Liu Mei and Jiang Yangzhou appear, Ye Father burst into tears.
"Liu Mei..."
Liu Mei acted as if she hadn't heard him, remaining silent and respectfully prostrate on the ground.
"There's no need for emotional theatrics, Ye Bufan.
Look, I've brought your mother, allowing your family to reunite.
Aren't you going to thank me quickly?"
Jiang Ye said with a wicked smile and a flippant tone.
Ye Bufan, slumped on the ground, his pupils suddenly constricted upon hearing this.
"Mother!?"
He looked at his father's expression and reaction, then at Jiang Yangzhou's mocking look, and suddenly understood.
He knew that his mother had been abducted, and the Ye Family had suffered severe damage because of Jiang Yangzhou.
All the subsequent humiliations were indirectly caused by him.
Regarding this, Ye Bufan was mistaken.
Jiang Yangzhou had been traveling in the Barren Mountain Realm back then and was severely tricked by Liu Mei.
Not annihilating her entire clan at that time was already an act of mercy.
"Bufan..."
Liu Mei could no longer hold back at this moment, looking at her son with tear-filled eyes.
Despite enduring hardship all these years, she had not gained nothing.
Liu Mei suddenly looked at Jiang Ye and, emboldened, said, "Your Highness, I have an item, a product born before the Dark Ages.
It is a ghost map that can unlock the Legacy left by Great Emperor Guiqi before his death.
I have hidden it... As long as you spare my son Bufan's life, I will give it to you!"
Jiang Ye was slightly moved, then smiled faintly and said, "An Emperor's Legacy? It's rare, but useless to me.
Give up."
An Emperor's Legacy might be a treasure to others, but to Jiang Ye, it was dispensable.
After all, what didn't the Jiang Clan possess?
Since the birth of the heavens, the Jiang Clan has existed for a long time.
To this day, there are no less than a hundred Emperor's Legacies within the Jiang Clan!
His mother, Great Emperor Hongye, collected more than two dozen Emperor's Legacies during the Dark Ages alone.
Moreover, there are differences between Emperors.
Jiang Ye had heard of Great Emperor Guiqi.
However, he was only a Middle Dao Emperor, and his strength was mediocre.
Liu Mei possessing the ghost map of Great Emperor Guiqi's Legacy might allow Jiang Ye to send someone to search for it after returning to the Jiang Clan.
Although it was useless to him, it would be good to add another foundation to the clan.
Upon hearing this, Liu Mei sat on the ground, her face pale.
Ye Father's heart was also ashen at this moment, his expression twisted: "Hahaha... I truly don't know what heinous deeds my Ye Family committed to deserve such retaliation from your Jiang Clan.
You will all die a terrible death!"
He realized that Your Highness had no intention of letting them go.
So he simply turned hostile.
Jiang Ye directly struck him hard on the back of the head with the bat, knocking him unconscious.
