As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present seemed to catch a whiff of gossip. The horn of war stopped, remaining silent, and all eyes focused on Yu Lin.

"Mother... What do you mean by that?" Ye Qingmu froze, and Ye Qingshui beside him was also very confused.

What did Mother mean by those words? Could it be that the second brother was hiding something from them?

The Ye Family's eldest brother was not Ye Tianhai. The eldest brother had long been killed by someone, and Ye Tianhai was their second brother. There were a total of five siblings in the Ye Family, all were Yu Lin's children.

Ye Qingmu was the third, Ye Qingshui was the fourth, and there was another younger sister, Ye Lingqing. Since their father passed away and their mother disappeared, Ye Tianhai's second son, possessing exceptional talent and being the son of a future Dao Emperor, Ye Long, fulfilled his wish to become the family patriarch, holding great power.

The younger siblings then became elders of the family.

"Do you know why I am here?" Yu Lin sighed and then opened her mouth to speak.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingmu was first stunned, then his eyes widened in surprise. He stared at his mother, stepped back two paces, and spoke with disbelief, "You mean to say... your disappearance was orchestrated by our second brother?"

These words caused many present to be taken aback. Yu Lin's disappearance was a heated topic at the time, and everyone thought something had happened to her. Unexpectedly, she was alive and well, and this matter was related to Ye Tianhai.

But wasn't Ye Tianhai Yu Lin's son? Why would he harm his own mother?

"You may not know, back then I did not agree to Ye Lan being punished. I was unaware, no one told me. When I found out, I thought to find my grandson. Never did I expect Ye Tianhai to deceive me, saying he would take me to find Ye Lan, but instead brought me before the sect leaders of the Eight Great Holy Lands, forcing me to admit fault." Yu Lin sighed, her heart like ashes, her eyes filled with disappointment.

Whenever she thinks of this matter, she feels disappointed in Ye Tianhai, believing that giving birth to such a son was the greatest failure of her life.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingmu and Ye Qingshui both retreated, full of shock, unable to believe their mother's words were true. Their second brother was such a brute to do such a thing.

But on second thought, if Ye Tianhai could let his own son die without saving him, what was so strange about this?

Yet even so, they both found it hard to accept.

"Kill them!" At this moment, a voice echoed in the minds of Ye Qingmu and Ye Qingshui.

Instantly, their eyes became dazed and blank, then immediately filled with murderous intent, cold and ruthless!

Seeing this, Yu Lin frowned immediately, Chen Lan also noticed, and communicated to Yu Lin via voice transmission: "Grandmother, something is wrong with their expressions, it's like they are being controlled."

With his mastery of the Way of Souls, he could tell at a glance that their souls were being controlled, and it was not them manipulating their bodies anymore but someone else.

This person was most likely Ye Tianhai!

Hearing Chen Lan's words, Yu Lin's face turned cold, and she shouted angrily, "Ye Tianhai, you beast, you actually control your brothers. How could I have given birth to a monstrosity like you!"

"Haha, old hag, am I not your failure from back in the day? Always talking about Big Brother, never mentioning me. In your eyes, I'm never as good as Big Brother. But how did things turn out? Didn't he die all the same, and it was by my hand!" Ye Qingmu spoke coldly, his voice still his own, but his soul was already controlled by Ye Tianhai.

His expression was extremely hideous and distorted, terrifying and horrifying, and the words he uttered were extremely cold, devoid of humanity, lacking any emotion.

Hearing this, Yu Lin staggered back a few steps, her pupils shaking violently as she looked at Ye Qingmu, her lips trembling: "You... what did you say? Ye Aotian, that child, was killed by you?"

The surrounding people never expected to see such drama, they forgot about the battle, and everyone was talking about it.

"Of course, I just used an elixir, and he went mad, dying like that. After his death, only then did I have the chance to stand before you. It's a pity my talent was dull, never able to gain appreciation from the two elders. Fortunately, Ye Lan's birth gave me a place to breathe within the Ye Family, until the arrival of Ye Long, which allowed me to truly establish my footing in the Ye Family. The Ye Family is mine, and it will always be mine!" Ye Qingmu spoke coldly, then raised his head and laughed heartily like a madman, making people feel fear.

"You are truly insane, insane!" Yu Lin yelled, tears streaming from her eyes. To think she gave birth to such a demon, not only causing the death of his own brother but also harming his son, and harming her. Now he even controls his brothers, truly a demon among demons!

"The insane one is you! If it weren't for you, would I be like this?!" Ye Qingmu suddenly roared.

"Let's open the war." At this moment, Chen Lan came to Yu Lin's side, his eyes filled with killing intent as he looked at Ye Qingmu. Whether it was Ye Qingmu or Ye Tianhai, he felt no affection for the Ye Family members, only a killing heart.

"Haha, courting death! Then let me fulfill you!" Ye Qingmu sneered, then looked at the others, shouting loudly: "My apologies, gentlemen, for making you laugh. I, Ye Mou, promise that whoever kills Chen Lan will forever be our honored guest in the Ye Family, to be treated with the highest regard."

Hearing this, everyone turned their eyes towards Chen Lan. The Ye Family's current status in the Desolate Celestial Realm was still significant, after all, Ye Long was about to break through to become a Dao Emperor.

Calculating the probability of Ye Long breaking through to Dao Emperor, people believed it to be at least 80% or more, given he possessed the Divine Bone and his rise was much faster than Ye Lan's, with very high talent and comprehension, making him very hopeful.

Therefore, being a guest of the Ye Family was indeed something worth fighting for. Who wouldn't want to establish a good relationship with a family possessing a Dao Emperor?

Instantly, everyone looked at him hungrily, itching to be the first to strike at Chen Lan.

Seeing this, Chen Lan merely grinned, letting out a few cold laughs, raised his head boastfully, and scanned the crowd with contempt, speaking coldly:

"If you're going to attack, hurry up, don't waste time."

"Alright, boy, you're arrogant enough. I've long heard of your legend; today, seeing it firsthand, it lives up to its name!"

"Hahaha, never thought I'd get a chance to fight the legendary Ye Lan. It's my honor, so let me see just how powerful the number one genius who once suppressed countless prodigies truly is."

"I heard that back then this kid was still the Great Emperor and could suppress a host of heroes, even go toe-to-toe with a Daoist Venerable, of course, the opponent didn't use the power of the Great Dao; otherwise, he would have long disappeared."

"Stop wasting time, hurry and kill him. I'm still waiting to go elsewhere and gather resources!"
