Free Web NovelChapter 2150: Chapter 2151: The Man Behind the King
Stay alive!
Those two words look simple, but actually staying alive is damn hard.
Just like people always say: being born is easy, staying alive is easy, but living a life is really fucking not easy.
Especially for someone like Ye Xunhuan, who’s got a colossal monster like the King eyeing him. If Qin Fenghuang hadn’t made any arrangements, hadn’t cared or intervened at all, could Ye Xunhuan have lived till now?
The answer is obvious.
Ye Xunhuan wouldn’t have survived till now, and the King would never have allowed him to live till now either.
After all, Old Demon and Lord Zun have already stepped in several times. Otherwise, this little life of Ye Xunhuan’s would’ve been gone a long time ago.
For a moment, Ye Xunhuan had no idea what he should say. His whole person sank into silence, like a statue.
Ye Fanchen didn’t say anything more either. He knew this matter hit Ye Xunhuan even harder. Ye Xunhuan needed to calm down properly!
The next second, Ye Xunhuan suddenly opened his mouth and said, "I’m going to kill the King!"
As he spoke, his iron fists clenched tightly. A bone-chilling killing intent surged out from his entire body, and he was like a drawn sword, its edge blasting out in all directions!
When Ye Fanchen saw this, his heart suddenly lurched. He hurriedly said, "You need to calm down right now. As you are now, you are absolutely not the King’s match!"
"Even with Olivia helping you, you still might not be able to kill him!"
Right at this moment, Olivia also spoke up: "Xunhuan, Old Chen is right. A gentleman’s revenge can wait ten years. You absolutely must endure right now!"
"If you go after the King now, it’s basically suicide. You’d just be handing him a perfect excuse to cut you down!"
Putting herself in his shoes, if it were her, Olivia, after finding out all this, a heavy killing intent would also rise in her heart, and she’d also want to kill the King on the spot.
But is the King that easy to kill?
The answer is obvious.
The King is extremely hard to kill. If Ye Xunhuan went to confront him right now, it would basically be a road of no return; it’d be next to impossible to actually cut the King down.
Ye Xunhuan took a deep breath. "I don’t mean right now!"
Ye Xunhuan himself knew very clearly that even though he’d stepped into the Void-Treading Realm now, killing the King still wouldn’t be that easy.
After all, now that he’d reached the Void-Treading Realm, he had an even clearer sense of how terrifying the strength of that realm was. And when the King had fought him before, the King had probably been holding back.
Otherwise, he never would’ve survived.
Hearing what Ye Xunhuan said, Olivia and Ye Fanchen both let out a long sigh of relief.
To be honest, they really had been afraid that Ye Xunhuan would throw everything aside and charge off to find the King and make a move on him. If that happened, then it really would be a fucking tragedy.
Fortunately, Ye Xunhuan was much calmer than they’d imagined, and clearer-headed than they’d imagined too.
"As long as you can endure, you’ll definitely be able to kill the King." Ye Fanchen said heavily, "Right now it looks like you’re all alone, but in reality, your mother and father left a lot of useful people behind. When you’re in danger, they’ll show up to help you!"
"I’ve already met two of them. I don’t know if they’re the ones you’re talking about..."
"They should be!" Ye Fanchen nodded. "They’ve all been waiting for you to step into the Void-Treading Realm. Now that you’ve entered it, they’ll definitely start to move as well."
"But I need to tell you, even if all of you join forces, you still might not be able to avenge yourself!"
"Why?"
"You think the King is that simple?" Ye Fanchen said coldly. "Or rather, do you think that without someone helping him, he could’ve destroyed your father?"
"If no one had helped, who ended up in charge of Protector of the Nation would still be an open question!"
What Ye Fanchen said wasn’t wrong. The Evil Lord dared, with his own strength alone, to fight the whole world, making everyone wary of him. That alone was enough to show how terrifying the Evil Lord was!

"You mean..."
"There’s another person behind all this." Ye Fanchen exhaled a heavy breath, his face full of helplessness and gravity. "He’s the most formidable one, and the only person who could cross hands with your father in the true sense!"
"And these legs of mine are thanks to him too!"
"Who is he?" Ye Xunhuan’s expression suddenly sharpened.
Ye Xunhuan couldn’t even imagine how strong the Evil Lord really was, but he knew how powerful the King was, and he’d also seen Ye Fanchen take action.
Even with his legs gone, Ye Fanchen was still someone Gongsun Jing couldn’t do anything about. If Ye Fanchen still had his legs, then killing Gongsun Jing might not be a piece of cake, but he’d definitely be able to cut him down!
Ye Fanchen didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he fell silent, and his expression kept shifting!
"Who is it?"
"Lin Yuhai!"
When Olivia heard those three words, Lin Yuhai, her expression changed drastically. "Old Chen, he... he’s still alive?"
When Ye Xunhuan heard Olivia’s words, he immediately turned his head to look at her. "You know him?"
Olivia nodded, her face grave. "Yes. A terrifying man—so terrifying you don’t even have the courage to fight him!"
"Even with you in the Void-Treading Realm, you might not be able to take three of his moves!"
Ye Xunhuan’s face changed dramatically!
Someone a Void-Treading cultivator couldn’t even take three moves from—what kind of monster was that supposed to be?
"I rarely talk to you about my father, do I?"
Ye Xunhuan nodded.
From the time he’d met Olivia until now, he had indeed heard very little about her father from her.
And Ye Xunhuan had never asked much about it.
"My father is a second-generation of the Blood Clan. I don’t even know how many years he’s lived." Olivia said thoughtfully, "And my father is very powerful—he was almost at the level of Ancestor Cain."
"But it was this Lin Yuhai who wounded my father!" A vicious look slowly appeared on Olivia’s face, as if she wanted to tear Lin Yuhai into countless pieces!
"My father was gravely wounded by him and didn’t recover even after ten years. In the Blood Clan, that’s completely impossible. Our physical constitution is different from you humans—our severed limbs can even regenerate!" Olivia said heavily, "But no one knows what kind of martial art Lin Yuhai cultivated. Not only could my father never fully recover, his strength kept declining!"
"That gave the Church people their chance, letting them use the Spear of Longinus to assassinate him!" A pained look slowly appeared on Olivia’s face. "That one thrust took my father’s life!"
"If it hadn’t been for this Lin Yuhai, a mere Church Holy Artifact like the Spear of Longinus could never have taken my father’s life!" Olivia’s expression twisted again, becoming incomparably ferocious. "It was all Lin Yuhai’s fault. He dealt my father the fatal blow and gave the Church their opening!"
