You were driven out of the capital at the start, and you ask me why I rebelled?

Chapter 79 The Ye Family Past

"Ah!"

Ying Chen looked at Ye Xingchen, who was still pretending, and gave a disdainful sneer.

He winked at Lu Bing, who was standing to the side.

Lu Bing immediately understood, took out a pill from his storage ring, and forcibly pried open Ye Xingchen's mouth, making him swallow it.

"what!"

Soon, a piercing scream echoed throughout the entire cell!

Ye Xingchen's face was contorted in extreme pain. His once fair skin was now flushed red, veins bulged on his forehead, and large beads of sweat slid down his cheeks.

His eyes were tightly closed, as if he were trying to endure some great torment.

His whole body curled up uncontrollably, like a boiled shrimp bent into a bow shape.

With each breath, his body trembled violently, as if he were about to collapse at any moment.

He rolled on the ground, clutching his abdomen tightly with both hands, trying to relieve the waves of excruciating pain.

However, all this is in vain.

The pain was like a sharp dagger, relentlessly churning his internal organs, leaving him utterly defenseless.

"woke up?"

Looking at his miserable state, Ying Chen showed no pity whatsoever and spoke coldly.

"What...what exactly do you want to do?"

Ye Xingchen was in excruciating pain all over his body, and his speech became intermittent.

"Weren't you pretending to faint just now? Why are you stopping now...?"

Ying Chen did not answer his question, but instead asked a question in return.

Upon hearing his words, Ye Xingchen struggled to lift her head and look at Ying Chen.

A boy dressed in a black dragon robe, about his age, stood there, looking at him with a mocking expression.

Behind him stood another person, someone he recognized. It was this person who had discovered his whereabouts and captured him back in the palace.

This young man in the black dragon robe must be Ying Chen, the new emperor of the Qin Dynasty!

Ye Xingchen guessed to himself.

"If you're going to kill me or torture me, just give me a quick death. What's the point of torturing me like this?"

Ye Xingchen endured the pain and said through gritted teeth.

Upon hearing his words, Ying Chen's lips curled into a slight smile: "Don't worry, you're still somewhat useful to me, so I won't kill you for now..."

Ye Xingchen breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing Ying Chen's words.

As long as they don't kill me for the time being, I still have a chance to escape.

Ying Chen waved his hand, and Lu Bing behind him stepped forward again and fed Ye Xingchen another pill.

The intense pain then subsided like the tide.

Ye Xingchen stood up unsteadily.

"This pill can only temporarily suppress the Bone-Corroding Pill. You must take the antidote long-term to suppress it, otherwise it will relapse. You've already felt the pain just now, so do whatever His Majesty tells you to do, and don't have any improper thoughts..."

Lu Bing leaned close to Ye Xingchen's ear and whispered something.

Upon hearing Lu Bing's words, Ye Xingchen's initial sense of relief vanished instantly.

He looked at Lu Bing, who was standing close by, and a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes.

If it weren't for the person in front of me, I wouldn't have been discovered, and I wouldn't be suffering like this now.

But now he dares not show any dissatisfaction.

He could only lower his head and remain silent.

"I've heard that the Ye family migrated to my Great Qin from elsewhere. I don't know much about their past deeds. Could you... tell me about them?"

Ying Chen said with a smile.

Upon hearing Ying Chen recount the Ye family's past, a hint of pride unconsciously appeared on Ye Xingchen's face.

But it quickly subsided.

However, Ying Chen still caught a glimpse of this pride.

He had a general idea of ​​what was going on. The Ye family was not simple before, but he didn't know why they had declined and ended up in the Qin Dynasty.

Ye Xingchen naturally dared not disobey Ying Chen, and told him everything he knew about the Ye family's past.

Of course, what he knew was only what he had heard from his elders or what was recorded in the clan's books; he had never seen it with his own eyes.

Therefore, his words are only for reference; the actual situation requires the Imperial Guards to go and investigate in person.

According to Ye Xingchen's account, the Ye family's previous location was a large domain next to the Xuanxing Domain, called the Moyang Domain, which was much stronger than the Xuanxing Domain.

Within it, there are five imperial palaces alone.

There were countless dynasties.

The Ye family is a superior family of the Ziyan Dynasty, one of the five great dynasties of the Moyang Domain.

The clan has experts at the Void Refinement stage, dozens at the Divine Transformation stage, and countless at the Nascent Soul stage.

Originally, the Ye family had a great influence in the Ziyan Dynasty and its development was very rapid.

However, an unexpected event shattered all of this.

The other superior families of the Purple Flame Dynasty suddenly united to attack the Ye family. Although the Ye family was powerful, it was no match for the simultaneous attack of so many families.

Moreover, the ancestors of the Ye family felt that the Purple Flame Dynasty was also involved, which is why those families joined forces to oppose the Ye family.

Realizing this, the Ye family ancestor decisively ordered the Ye family to evacuate.

Along the way, those families kept sending people to pursue them, and the Ye family's experts kept falling. By the time they arrived in the Great Qin, there were less than a thousand clansmen left, as well as a few Nascent Soul experts.

After that, it was the matter of the Qin emperor taking in the Ye family.

Even now, the Ye family still doesn't understand why the Purple Flame Dynasty treats them this way.

Ying Chen listened carefully and couldn't help but feel a little sad.

It's truly unpredictable how such a powerful family could end up like this!

However, all of this had nothing to do with him or the Qin Dynasty.

With the system in place, the Ye family's situation would never happen to the Great Qin, nor would it be allowed to happen.

"Alright, kill them!"

Having obtained what he wanted, Ye Xingchen was no longer of any use to him, Lu Bing waved his hand at Lu Bing beside him and said.

"Here!"

Lu Bing said respectfully.

"what?"

"Didn't you say you wouldn't kill me?"

Ye Xingchen's expression changed drastically, and he shouted at Ying Chen.
