Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City-Chapter 586 596: Trip to the Southern Border

This was a strange world, vast and chaotic. Ye Ling's consciousness seemed like a minute particle, slowly wandering through this realm.

However, Ye Ling was guided by the Soul-Searching Technique, and following its guidance, it led him to his intended target.

Inside the ancestral hall, the four brothers of the Ye Family watched Ye Ling with tension. At that moment, a faint golden light suddenly burst from Ye Ling's body, setting him alight like a deity.

Ye Jianjun and the other three brothers were completely dumbfounded. How was this possible? It was like something out of a TV show, giving off the impression of a mythological novel.

It seemed that their nephew was truly no ordinary person, at the very least, the bizarre light they were witnessing was something they simply could not explain.

Guided by the force, Ye Ling's consciousness was slowly taken to a distant land. Suddenly, he locked onto a person!

The man appeared to be in his fifties, with a square face and lifeless eyes that looked hollow. His hair was peppered with white, and his movements were stiff, like a walking corpse.

Suddenly, as if he felt something had locked onto him, he stiffly raised his head, gazing into the sky. That face bore a striking resemblance to Ye Ling's.

"Dad!"

Ye Ling couldn't help but cry out, but in the next moment, a powerful spiritual force instantly shattered his consciousness, having detected Ye Ling's prying.

Crack, Ye Ling was jolted back to reality, his expression dark and frightening, his eyes brimming with boundless fury, and even the hair on his body stood on end.

Murderous intent pervaded the air, to the extent that even Ye Jianjun and the others in the ancestral hall felt a chilling tremor throughout their bodies, their hearts turning cold, as if their nephew was a merciless demon who had taken countless lives. They dared not cast a glance at Ye Ling.

In Ye Ling's heart surged an endless desire to kill, the strongest he had felt since his reincarnation. Even during his previous time in the Immortal Realm, such feelings were rare, not just rare, but exceedingly uncommon.

Since childhood, Ye Ling had assumed that his father might have fallen for another or met with some accident. In any case, he believed that his father's departure was either accidental or intentional.

He had never considered that his father's disappearance was the result of a thorough conspiracy. Just now, although he had only glimpsed at his own father,

he could see from his father's eyes that there was a problem. The hollow look, devoid of any color, clearly indicated that someone had robbed him of a soul and a spirit and placed a control command on him.

A person has three souls and without any of them, one would turn into a thoughtless zombie; in other words, Ye Ling's father had been deliberately targeted by someone, leaving him in a worse state than death.

And the place where Ye Ling's father was, naturally, was also tracked down by him — it was none other than Huaxia's most mysterious place, the Eighteen Fortresses of the Southern Border!

"Damn it, damn it! I'm going to kill you. To deal such a cruel hand to my father, for over a decade, this time no matter who it is, even if it were the Three Purities themselves, nothing will stop me!"

"I will slaughter you, slaughter you!"

Ye Ling roared in his heart. Ye Tian was his father, the father of the body he occupied. The memories of his childhood and the connection of blood made Ye Ling almost turn into a ferocious beast, wishing to rush to that place and kill anyone who posed even the slightest threat to his father, anyone!

Noticing something was off with Ye Ling, Ye Jianjun and the others quickly asked what was wrong, whether something had happened to Ye Tian, or whether they had failed to find him?

Ye Ling shook his head, "No worries, I'll set off tomorrow to bring him back!"

After finishing speaking, Ye Ling took a deep breath, strenuously suppressing the killing intent within him because Wang Shufen was waiting for him at the entrance of the ancestral hall, waiting for news about her husband.

If he walked out looking like this, his mother, who had been by his side for so many decades, would certainly detect something off about him.

Therefore, he must not let his mother find out. Ye Ling calmed his mind, took another deep breath, and then walked out with his uncles, smiling as if a happy event was forthcoming.

Outside the ancestral hall, Wang Shufen was eagerly peering inside, and beside her were several sisters-in-law, including the overbearing Li Jinfeng.

But today, she seemed like a completely different person, equally anxious, as if someone dear to her was inside the hall, a face full of hope.

As Ye Ling and his uncles slowly emerged, Wang Shufen, seeing her son's smile, was instantly overjoyed and hurriedly approached.

"Xiao Ling, can you find your deadbeat dad?"

Wang Shufen quickly asked, her heart tethered to this one concern, and she would not rest in death without resolving it; she needed to know what had happened in the past.

Ye Ling nodded, and Wang Shufen's eyes immediately brimmed with tears. After so many years, for the first time, a glimmer of hope appeared for the knot in her heart.

"Don't worry, Mom, I'll set off tomorrow and bring Dad back, and I'll tell you, his disappearance this time was an accident, definitely not an affair," Ye Ling joked with Wang Shufen, causing her cheeks to blush as she hastily swatted at Ye Ling, embarrassed by his words. She knew he was trying to alleviate her tension.

The others, having heard this, also appeared very happy, though whether it was genuine or feigned happiness was uncertain, but at the very least, they put on a good show.

When everyone left, they returned to the house of Ye Jianwen. Ye Jianwen had earlier instructed Ye Feng to buy a heap of groceries, as today their families were cooking together, a small family gathering.

Around noon, the place was bustling, and everyone at the dining table was exceptionally lively. Right when they were enjoying their food, Ye Jianwu picked up his glass and raised it towards Ye Ling.

"Xiao Ling, whether you believe it or not, your uncle has truly made a mistake. I think maybe I've been struggling between money and power in the first half of my life and ended up neglecting family ties."

"I'm sorry, I don't know what else to say, but I've resigned from my position as the party secretary. From now on, I'll raise chickens and ducks and spend more time with my brothers, living out my later years in peace."

"Ye Ling, I'll say it again, your uncle is sorry, sorry to your whole family."

Ye Ling stood up, looked at Ye Jianjun and shook his head, "Uncle, don't say that, nobody's perfect. Making some mistakes is normal, and besides, I'm your nephew. There's no need for you to apologize to me."

The meal ended with everyone in high spirits, the family together, laughing and chatting happily. After the meal, however, Ye Ling indeed quietly slipped out.

At night, a white figure crazily swept through the sky. It was Xiao Bai, whom Ye Ling had specially summoned from Donghai.

Because Ye Ling felt that this trip to the Southern Border might be a bit twisted and not as smooth sailing as hoped.
