"Hmph!"

  The Ye Family Immortal Envoy let out a cold snort.

  Immediately, Yue Qingshan felt an overwhelming sense of oppression.

  Under this immense pressure, he even found it hard to breathe.

  His face flushed red as Yue Qingshan quickly circulated the cultivation technique he practiced.

  But he was only in the Divine Power Realm, how could he possibly withstand the might of the Ye Family Immortal Envoy?

  Just as Yue Qingshan was about to collapse, a faint green light flickered from the ring on his right thumb.

  Soon, the powerful oppressive feeling inexplicably vanished.

  Only Yue Qingshan knew that it was his master within the ring who had helped him withstand the immense pressure.

  Thinking of his master, who was in the Grand Saint Realm, even if only a remnant soul, still held some deterrent power.

  Yue Qingshan proudly raised his head, as if he was second only to the heavens.

  Seeing Yue Qingshan not kneeling under his pressure, the Ye Family Immortal Envoy's eyes flashed with surprise.

  He hadn't expected this young brat to have such abilities, likely backed by some Great Power.

  He was only here to deliver a message, no need to entangle with the other party.

  Ignoring Yue Qingshan, the Ye Family Immortal Envoy turned his gaze to the Yue Family members below.

  "Yue Family, I am here to deliver the Clan Leader's order. Within three days, send Yue Mingkong to the Young Master without fail.

  If it exceeds three days, the consequences... weigh them yourselves, don't blame me for not warning you, hmph!"

  With that, the Ye Family Immortal Envoy snorted heavily again.

  He had no fondness for the Yue Family.

  Ye Yun was the Young Master of the Ye Family, the future leader, not someone a small family like the Yue Family could bully.

  Since they had done it, they must pay the price.

  Wasn't Yue Mingkong full of herself?

  Then let her family personally send her to the Young Master.

  With that, the Ye Family Immortal Envoy turned into a wisp of black smoke and vanished.

  The Yue Family members, who had been half-kneeling with their heads down, suddenly felt a weight lift off their shoulders as the oppressive force disappeared.

  The kneeling Yue Family members began to chatter.

  "Such powerful oppression, truly worthy of the Ye Family Immortal Envoy. I feel like he could kill me with a flick of his finger."

  "Indeed, this oppressive feeling is terrifying, even stronger than the Clan Leader and Elders."

  "Luckily, he didn't trouble our Yue Family. As long as we send Yue Mingkong over, it's a blessing in disguise."

  "Just three days, I wonder what decision the Clan Leader will make?"

  ...

  Most expressed relief, at least the Ye Family hadn't directly vented their anger on them.

  Otherwise, even a hundred Yue Families wouldn't be enough for the Ye Family to toy with.

  As the Clan Leader, Yue Feng had already stood up, his face slightly gloomy.

  The elders behind him each showed a trace of relief on their faces.

  The Grand Elder looked deeply at Yue Feng and said earnestly.

  "Fortunately, there's still room to salvage this. Clan Leader, Mingkong must be sent to the Ye Family, or our Yue Family... might disappear from the Immortal Domain."

  Hearing this, Yue Feng's face grew even darker.

  He wasn't just Yue Mingkong's father, but also the Clan Leader of the Yue Family.

  If he insisted on protecting Yue Mingkong, it would mean abandoning his clansmen, and he could forget about continuing as Clan Leader.

  The Second Elder, seeing Yue Feng's hesitation, immediately struck while the iron was hot.

  "That's right, Clan Leader, we have no choice now. Mingkong must be handed over, or our entire family will be buried with her."

  The Third Elder stroked his beard, squinting slightly, and said in a deep voice.

  "Clan Leader, you must choose between the entire family and Mingkong. In my opinion, even if Mingkong is sent to the Ye Family, nothing will happen to her. Doesn't the Ye Family Young Master like her? I believe Ye Yun won't harm her.

  Perhaps Mingkong has a chance to become one of the Young Master's wives, and then our Yue Family could rise to prominence. This could be a great opportunity!"

  The elders' persistent persuasion was clear to Yue Feng, and he already had an answer in his heart.

  But Yue Qingshan, who was at the back, was furious upon hearing the elders' words.

  Yue Qingshan immediately rushed to the front and shouted.

  "Absolutely not! How can Mingkong be sent away like this? Clan Leader! Mingkong is your own daughter, are you going to watch her be pushed into the fire pit?"

  Yue Qingshan's sudden outburst interrupted Yue Feng's thoughts.

  The decision was almost made, but Yue Qingshan, this brat, came out to cause trouble.

  The Grand Elder couldn't hold back, angrily shouting and waving his hand.

  "How dare a brat speak so boldly!"

  Caught off guard, Yue Qingshan felt a powerful force pulling him in.

  Stumbling a few steps, Yue Qingshan couldn't resist the force and was instantly pulled over by the Grand Elder, who grabbed him by the throat.

  "This is a decision for the Clan Leader and the Elders, who do you think you are, brat? Get lost!"

  With that, Yue Qingshan was thrown out hard.

  "Bang!!"

  After crashing into a stone, Yue Qingshan fell to the ground.

  "Ugh!"

  He spat out a mouthful of blood, looking extremely disheveled.

  He never expected the Grand Elder to suddenly attack him.

  The Grand Elder was about to continue, even intending to kill Yue Qingshan.

  The remnant soul in Yue Qingshan's ring was ready to protect him.

  At that moment, a hand suddenly stopped the Grand Elder.

  "Enough! Grand Elder, no matter what, Qingshan is a talent of our family. Hurting him would be a loss for the family, let it go."

  The one who stopped the Grand Elder was naturally Yue Feng, who greatly appreciated Yue Qingshan and didn't want him to fall.

  Seeing the Clan Leader stop him, the Grand Elder suppressed his anger and flung his sleeve.

  "Hmph! Since the Clan Leader pleaded for you, I'll let it go, but... don't let there be a next time!"

  His eyes were cold, clearly showing his dislike for Yue Qingshan.

  With that, the Grand Elder turned his gaze to Yue Feng, speaking earnestly.

  "Clan Leader, we have no choice this time. If we don't want the entire Yue Family to be buried, Mingkong must be handed over. I hope you understand this.

  Consider the family, Mingkong entering the Ye Family might not be a bad thing."

  With those words, the Grand Elder patted Yue Feng's shoulder.
