Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 640

When this guy stood up to oppose, the expressions of the Immortal Emperors changed dramatically. They thought, “Looks like he’s really not going to swallow this down easily.”

After all, the Heavenly Execution Pavilion had just been hit hard with the death of a captain-level figure, and the culprit not only faced zero punishment but was also promoted to the top Immortal Official. Isn’t that just a blatant slap in the face for the Heavenly Execution Pavilion?

Plus, the Eastern Peak Emperor, as the head of the eight elders, how could he possibly tolerate such a thing?

Liu Huangshu frowned, a hint of discontent flashing in his eyes.

During this time, the opposition had used the purge of the Undying Blood Clan as an excuse to push for a major restructuring within the Immortal Court, causing widespread complaints.

He was quite resistant to this extreme approach, but given the pressure of the situation and the consideration of past relationships, even if he found it hard to stomach, he still chose to compromise and make concessions.

After all, the Heavenly Execution Pavilion had indeed uncovered a member of the Undying Blood Clan. Their methods were certainly extreme, but at least they were getting results!

Prior to this, Liu Huangshu had also heard about a captain from the Heavenly Execution Pavilion being killed by Ye Junlin.

Due to his criticisms of the Heavenly Execution Pavilion and appreciation for Ye Junlin’s contributions, Liu Huangshu didn’t rush to punish him but wanted to resolve the matter properly through a more subtle approach.

It wasn’t until he learned about Ye Junlin’s true identity that Liu Huangshu decided not only to protect him but also to promote him!

However, the situation he feared most still occurred.

The Eastern Peak Emperor resolutely stepped forward to sing a different tune, clearly ready to confront him in public!

“Eastern Peak Emperor, what’s the meaning of this?” Liu Huangshu said, his tone displeased.

The Eastern Peak Emperor coldly snorted, “Liu Taishang, your decision is highly inappropriate, to say the least, even utterly ridiculous!”

Having been publicly admonished, Liu Huangshu naturally felt his face was dimmed, and anger flickered in his eyes as he retorted:

“I’d like to ask what exactly is ridiculous? Let’s not forget Ye Junlin’s achievements are known worldwide, plus he possesses immense potential. He is entirely qualified to rise further and take his place among the top-tier Immortal Officials!”

The other Immortal Emperors listened in envy.

This guy is truly favored by the powerful!

The Eastern Peak Emperor coldly countered, “Liu Taishang, you surely know that this Ye just killed an important member of my Heavenly Execution Pavilion, right? To commit such a grave sin, not only have you failed to bring justice, but you even audaciously promoted him. This is trampling the order of the Immortal Court and disregarding the dignity of the Heavenly Execution Pavilion!”

“Where is the natural justice in this? Where is fairness?!”

At this point, the Eastern Peak Emperor appeared agitated, his booming voice resonating throughout the hall like Heavenly Thunder.

Liu Huangshu’s face became increasingly grim. “Why take this so far? Besides, it was your man who first offended Ye Junlin, which led to his death!”

Upon hearing this, the Eastern Peak Emperor, enraged, shot back:

“So your implication is that my subordinate’s death is insignificant? Don’t forget he was trying to alleviate burdens for the Immortal Court! This guy indiscriminately killed him, such heinous actions don’t deserve to be rewarded with a promotion?”

“In my opinion, he should have his position stripped and be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison for ten thousand years as a warning to others!”

As soon as he spoke, the atmosphere became tense.

“That’s impossible!”

Liu Huangshu directly denied it, his stance quite firm.

In his mind, Ye Junlin’s importance far outweighed that of the Heavenly Execution Pavilion; he would never allow anything to happen to Ye Junlin.

“You’re covering for a criminal!” the Eastern Peak Emperor shouted angrily.

Both sides were on the brink, the air thick with tension.

The Immortal Emperors were all on edge, unsure of what to do.

They never expected this Immortal Court summit to descend into such chaos!

Yuhua Sheng sneered, watching the silver-haired figure, silently thinking, “Ye Junlin, this is your mess, you won’t be able to wiggle out of it today!”

Just when the situation escalated further, a sharp voice cut through the crowd, carrying a sense of mockery:

“No wonder the Heavenly Execution Pavilion is a bunch of rabble; turns out there’s a useless one leading the way!”

The crowd fell silent.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, nearly doubting their own ears.

The Eastern Peak Emperor froze, then exploded with rage, pointing at the mocking silver-haired youth, shouting:

“Damn you, how dare you insult me!”

Ye Junlin smirked, replying, “Am I wrong? You guys from the Heavenly Execution Pavilion have turned the Immortal Court into a chaotic mess. So you caught one Undying Blood Clan member? If I were you, I would have committed seppuku in shame right on the spot!”

Harsh but true.

Many Immortal Emperors felt a sense of relief inside.

After all, the Immortal Court had indeed been thrown into disarray due to the actions of the Heavenly Execution Pavilion.

In the end, after all that fuss, only one Undying Blood Clan member was caught.

Honestly, what face do you even have?

Of course, with their status, they wouldn’t dare voice their opinions openly, but now that Ye Junlin had torn off this facade in public, aiming straight at the Eastern Peak Emperor, they seriously felt a thrill!

A subtle smile crept onto Liu Huangshu’s face.

Nice, this kid is basically my spokesperson!

The Eastern Peak Emperor felt utterly humiliated, his eyes filled with boundless fury as he declared:

“Do you think you understand? The Undying Blood Clan is skilled at disguise. You think it’s that easy to see through and find them? Just a few words and you’re dismissing all the contributions the Heavenly Execution Pavilion has made. You, Ye, deserve to be punished!”

Suddenly, one Immortal Emperor stood up, excitedly accusing Ye Junlin: “What wrong has the Eastern Peak Emperor done? His Heavenly Execution Pavilion is the last line of defense for the Immortal Court—you shouldn’t defame them like this!”

“Or do you, Ye Junlin, have a better solution? You’re just standing there, talking big without any pain!”

“Ah, now that’s someone with sense!” The Eastern Peak Emperor’s expression softened a little, his confidence restored.

So, you’re so capable, why don’t you step up and do it!

Ye Junlin gave his accuser a meaningful glance, silently noting them down, then raised his voice:

“Since that’s the case, I’ll root out all the Undying Blood Clan hidden within the Immortal Court in one day!”

His tone was resolute and commanding.

“What?!”

Including Liu Huangshu, everyone was stunned by Ye Junlin’s bold words at that moment.

In one day, to purge all the Undying Blood Clan members within the Immortal Court?

Is that even possible?

The Eastern Peak Emperor was taken aback, a flicker of incredulity flashing in his eyes as he said gravely, “You, Junlin, don’t jest. What if you fail?”

Ye Junlin remained calm and composed, “If I can’t do it, you can dispose of me as you wish.”

“Alright, that’s what you said!”

The Eastern Peak Emperor sneered.

Liu Huangshu felt anxious, secretly messaging him, “Kid, are you sure about this? This isn’t a joke!”

“Relax, I mean what I say.”

Ye Junlin dismissed it lightly.

Then, his eyes flashed with golden light, exuding a divine aura, like a god surveying all creation.

The Breaking False Gold Eyes!

At this moment, many Immortal Emperors were skeptical, thinking Ye Junlin was just bragging and that he might stumble here.

After all, the Heavenly Execution Pavilion had made such a big fuss, only to catch one Undying Blood Clan member in the end.

You, a lone person, want to find all of the Undying Blood Clan?

On what basis?!

Just with that piercing gaze of yours?

Ridiculous!

“If Lord Ye makes a move, there’s definitely hope!” Bu Qianfan said excitedly.

He clearly remembered how he had been wronged by the Luantian Blood Emperor while everyone else was kept in the dark; only Ye Junlin had seen through the disguise.

So, he wholeheartedly believed in what Ye Junlin said!

“If it’s him, it really might be possible…” Su Yinghuo’s beautiful eyes sparkled as she closely watched the calm silver-haired youth, filled with trust.

Everyone held their breath, all attention fixated on Ye Junlin.

At this moment, Ye Junlin activated his Breaking False Gold Eyes and was about to go outside to showcase his abilities.

Unexpectedly, the scene in front of him caught him off guard, a strange look appearing on his face.

Seeing Ye Junlin frozen in place, the Eastern Peak Emperor sneered, “What? Is this your plan? Standing there like a dummy?”

“Answer me, where are the Undying Blood Clan? Where are they!”

The Eastern Peak Emperor pressed, his hair and beard bristling, his imposing aura adding to the pressure.

“Heh, what a case of the thief calling ‘stop thief’.”

Suddenly, Ye Junlin burst into laughter, his smile holding deep meaning.

“You, what do you mean?”

The Eastern Peak Emperor’s heart oddly felt uneasy, his voice a bit trembling.

“What I mean is,”

Then, amid the shocked gazes of the crowd, Ye Junlin slowly raised his hand, pointing directly at the Eastern Peak Emperor, enunciating clearly:

“You are the Undying Blood Clan!”
