"How, how is this possible? That was a Saint, and just like that, he's dead?"

Ji Dahai looked at the dispersing ashes, unable to believe that the invincible Saint was just gone so easily!

However, after Xu Zhongdao turned to ashes, there was no more sound—he was definitely dead!

"With a gentle grasp, the Saint's path extinguished, what kind of power is this?" Li Kuishou muttered.

Xu Zhongdao aided the wicked, helping the Ji family plot chaos, and Li Kuishou had long wanted him dead!

Yet, this death seemed too simple, without even a ripple, making it hard to accept directly.

"Xu Zhongdao is already dead. What about you?" Ye Chen executed Xu Zhongdao without blinking, then looked at Ji Dahai and said.

"I, I..." Ji Dahai, faced with Ye Chen's gaze, was terrified to the extreme and couldn't even speak.

"Don't be afraid, I won't kill you!" Ye Chen said. "However, the Ji family is involved in rebellion, and as the grand patriarch, you can't escape responsibility!"

"I won't do anything to you. But, Huaxia will arrest you to demand an explanation!"

Ye Chen had calculated everything already! However, this was ultimately a matter of the state, and even as supreme, it was inconvenient for Ye Chen to intervene directly.

Moreover, having reached Ye Chen's level of cultivation, worldly matters were of little consequence, undeserving of his distraction.

"Ha!" Ji Dahai exclaimed with a face of despair. "I had hoped for a life of prosperity, but never expected such an ending!"

As one of the elders, Ji Dahai held great power and had a position of unparalleled status.

Yet his insatiable greed for supreme authority, akin to an ancient emperor, led to today's tragedy!

Recalling the past struggles and triumphs, and then to today's downfall, Ji Dahai felt a pang of regret at last!

"Brothers, I, Ji Dahai, have erred and have no face to meet you all!"

"In our next life, let's be brothers again!"

Light shone from Ji Dahai's palm as he slapped his forehead, intending to kill himself in penance!

"No!" A group of elders' expressions changed, hurriedly trying to stop him.

But Ji Dahai's strike was as heavy as thunder, as fast as lightning, impossible to halt.

Boom!

Ji Dahai's head exploded, and he fell straight to the ground, killing himself.

"Cultivators are meant to transcend worldly fame and fortune, yet you succumbed to them—how utterly tragic!" Ye Chen lamented, looking at Ji Dahai's headless body.

In truth, Ye Chen noticed his subtle actions and could have stopped his penance by suicide, but Ye Chen didn't.

For Ji Dahai, death was the best redemption!

"Ji Dahai, you fool, even if you made mistakes, we didn't want you to die!"

Li Kuishou and others ran over, looking at Ji Dahai's body, feeling grief and shedding tears.

After all, they were brothers who had faced life and death together—the bond was unchanging, and so Ji Dahai's suicide left them heartbroken.

"Ye Chen, are you okay?" Xu Qingling only cared for Ye Chen, nothing about Ji Dahai or Ji Dalang mattered to her.

"Didn't you see me slaughtering a Saint with a wave of my hand, like a god?" Ye Chen waved his hand, pulling her into his arms. "Your husband is so fierce, how could anything happen to him?"

"Ugh, annoying!" Xu Qingling struggled lightly in Ye Chen's embrace.

"Wife, let's go home and battle for three hundred rounds!" Ye Chen said with a playful grin, a far cry from his earlier imposing demeanor.

"Grandfather, and all the elders are here, don't be inappropriate!" Xu Qingling's face turned red after hearing this. This guy was too shameless, daring to propose such a thing in front of her grandfather and the elders!

"Elders, you must make a decision for me!" Suddenly, a surprising event occurred as Xu Wuming rushed over, grabbing Ye Chen's leg. "This is my granddaughter's boyfriend—our whole family loves him. We beg the elders to grant them marriage!

"..."

With Ji Dahai dying on the spot and the elders in sorrow, Xu Wuming's sudden plea made the scene fall silent.

Gulp.

Kun Wuchang watched this scene, swallowing hard, at a loss for words.

Xu Wuming, an old man in his eighties, could easily pass for Ye Chen's grandfather, yet here he was, sitting on the ground, clutching Ye Chen's leg, presenting an utterly ridiculous scene that was both laughable and cryable!

However, none of the elders laughed, recognizing Xu Wuming as shamelessly seeking a grandson-in-law!

Li Kuishou and others remained silent, instead looking towards Qin WuMing.

"Xu Wuming, you've become increasingly shameless, resorting to such lowly tactics to beg the elders for marriage arrangements!"

"Ugh, you old fool, you're unbearable, about to drive me crazy!" Qin WuMing reacted, launching into a tirade, despising Xu Wuming's actions.

However, immediately after scolding Xu Wuming, Qin WuMing did the same thing, rushing over to grab Ye Chen's other leg.

Moreover, as Qin WuMing clutched Ye Chen's leg, he shouted to the elders: "Senior officers, you must make a decision for me! Xu Wuming is clearly trying to steal my grandson-in-law—blatantly so! It's outrageous!"

"Elders, I plead for a marriage decree—I want to marry my granddaughter to Ye Chen!"

"..."

Xu Wuming was stunned seeing Qin WuMing doing the same thing and shouting the same slogan.

"Damn!"

With Ji Dahai's headless body beside them and the elders in mourning, the amusing drama unfolding with Xu Wuming and Qin WuMing, each holding onto one of Ye Chen's legs, left the elders unsure whether to laugh or cry.

"Grandfather, stop holding Ye Chen's leg, this isn't proper!" Xu Qingling said in embarrassment, pushing her grandfather, trying to get Xu Wuming to stand up and not embarrass himself further.

"You silly granddaughter, what do you know!" Xu Wuming yelled, glaring. "I'm putting my old face on the line for your happiness!"

"If the elders agree to the marriage, I'll not only hold Ye Chen's leg but will even lick his toes if needed!"

"..."

Looking at Xu Wuming's earnest face, Xu Qingling for the first time felt defeated, and so utterly defeated at that!

The world could no longer stop this crazy old man!

"Xu Wuming, you win!" Qin WuMing said. "If you dare to lick Ye Chen's toes today, I, Qin WuMing, will stop competing for the grandson-in-law!"

"Are you serious?" Xu Wuming asked, eyes wide.

"Absolutely!" Qin WuMing confirmed.

"In your face!" Xu Wuming's tone shifted. "I was just joking. If you have the guts, you lick, whoever licks is a fool!"

"..."

Watching these two old men in their eighties cheekily banter like this, those present were at a loss for words.

"You two old fools, making a spectacle of yourselves in front of the younger generation—what kind of conduct is this? Get up immediately!" Li Kuishou shouted.
