"Ye Xuan, kneel before me!"

A booming shout echoed throughout Lin Family’s Great Hall.

All the senior members of the Lin Family turned their eyes towards the young man known as Ye Xuan, who stood in the middle of the hall.

Ye Xuan, today, wore a white robe, but it was torn in several places and stained with countless spots of fresh blood. It was clear he had been through a perilous battle.

However, when he heard this command, he remained unmoved.

"Ye Xuan, you unfilial rebel, kneel down for me right now!”

At the head of the hall, an old man with white hair fiercely hammered his walking stick onto the ground, releasing an overwhelming aura that swept through the area.

Everyone in the Lin Family knew that the Chief Elder was truly angry this time.

Yet, to no avail. Ye Xuan didn't make any move. He stood there straight as a rod, even showing a hint of a playful smile.

"You still dare to smile?”

"Ye Xuan, don't think that having the surname Ye gives you free rein in our Lin Family!"

"That's right, since you married into the Lin family, you became a part of us. If you do something wrong, you must pay for it!"

The Lin Family’s senior members continued to rebuke Ye Xuan.

At this point, a pale-faced young man on the side suddenly broke into a grimace of despair and yelled at the middle-aged man who sat at the head of the hall, "Elder, you must deliver justice for us! The nearly complete wipeout of our hunting team was all because of him! He forcibly plucked the Solaris Herb, thereby provoking that Flame Leopard..."

"And that's not all. After realizing the danger, he just abandoned us and ran away on his own..."

"Lin Wei, Lin Zhen, Lin Yun, Lin Yao, and the others all lost their lives to the flaming beast. If not for my Wave Breaking Saber Technique wounding the fire leopard, I would have not been able to escape myself!"

Hearing this, everyone's faces suddenly turned somber.

"Ye Xuan, what else do you have to say?" the head elder, a middle-aged man, shouted angrily.

Ye Xuan glanced around and sighed helplessly.

Actually, this was already his third time in this hall.

He was a person who had crossed to this world. What he didn't expect was that when he crossed, his physical body was destroyed, leaving him with a wisp of soul that could only survive by occupying bodies.

Furthermore, he was trapped in the same day.

No matter whose body he occupied, or what he did, everything would reset the next day.

He had already lived this kind of life for a full thousand years.

In these thousand years, he didn't know how many people he had possessed - from farmers and laborers, up to sect masters and rulers of a country. He even took over the bodies of high-level emperors.

As a result, the current him is considered unparalleled in areas like alchemy, array methods, and talisman arts. One could even describe him as all-knowing and omnipotent.

However, he was still unable to break out of the time reset and could only continue to possess different bodies, role-playing to pass the time.

The person he possessed today was also named Ye Xuan, but he had actually already died. However, due to his possession, this body regained life.

At this moment, Ye Xuan took another look at everyone in the hall, and then casually laughed, "Lin Mang, you're not worthy to slander me."

Hearing this, Lin Mang's father immediately countered, "Nonsense, how could Lin Mang do such a stupid thing? It must be your doing."

Ye Xuan glanced at him and couldn't help but sneer: "Just because in your eyes, I am nothing but a playboy, so you would rather believe Lin Mang? Or is it because Lin Mang is a pureblood of the Lin family?"

"Hmph, the Lin family has always been fair and unbiased. If Lin Mang dares to do such things, I will surely punish him severely!" The elder solemnly said.

"Good!" Ye Xuan shouted: "Elders, may I ask Lin Mang a few questions?"

"Ask!" The elder of Lin family shouted.

Ye Xuan nodded slightly, then turned his head to look at the young man, disdainfully said: "Lin Mang, do you think you could learn the superior technique of breaking wave swordsmanship? Since you claimed that you repelled the Flame Leopard with this move, why don't you demonstrate it in public?

Lin Mang, the young man named, frustratedly explained: "I am seriously injured now, how can I perform it? Besides, at that time, I happened to use it out of desperation."

"Such a stubborn old duck." Ye Xuan sneered, "You claimed that I snatched the Solar Grass, but how do I hear that the person who angered the Flame Leopard by ripping the Solar Grass is you?"

At these words, Lin Mang's face changed instantly and he rebutted, "Bullshit! The Solar Grass is of no use to me. Why would I take it?"

"Your fiancée recently encountered a bottleneck in training. With the Solar Grass, she should be able to break through to the fifth level of Martial Opening. Didn't you promise to get one for her?" Ye Xuan said lightly.

Although he didn't know how Ye Xuan knew about this, Lin Mang didn't care about it, he explained: "Indeed, she needs it. But I would never use such a method to get it. I, Lin Mang, would never risk my compatriots' lives for a joke. Alright, since you said I ripped off the Solar Grass, where is it?"

A slight smile hung on the corner of Ye Xuan's mouth, "Isn't that Solar Grass hidden in the secret compartment under your bed?"

Once these words were spoken, Lin Mang's face twitched, thinking it was bad in his heart.

"How does this guy know there's a secret compartment under my bed?"

That's not the point. The key thing is, he actually hid the Solar Grass in the secret compartment under his bed.

Before he could even say a word, the elder had already signalled someone to check. Not long after, the man returned with a plant that looked like a flame.

Upon seeing this, Elder Lin frowned immediately and said, "Lin Mang, how do you explain this?"

"Elder, he is slandering me. This Solar Flame Herb was purchased by me a few days ago, intending to gift it to Lanlan on her birthday," Lin Mang explained immediately.

"Is it so?"

Everyone turned their heads, looking at Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan's eyes fell on the Solar Flame Herb, he said, "If it's something you bought, why would there be blood on it?"

"This, how should I know about this?" Lin Mang stuttered. In such a critical situation, how could he have noticed such a minor detail?

"How could you not know?" Ye Xuan continued, "When you forcibly plucked the Solar Flame Herb, Lin Yao tried to stop you, but he didn't expect a Flame Leopard to suddenly attack, so Lin Yao's hand was cut by the Solar Flame Herb."

Upon hearing this, Elder Lin frowned again, "Bring the Bloodline Crystal!"

A Bloodline Crystal is a peculiar mineral used to verify bloodlines.

When Lin Mang heard this, he knew things were going bad. But he could not admit and had no choice but to brace himself.

Soon, someone brought a Bloodline Crystal and also brought Lin Yao's younger brother over for the bloodline comparison.

"Ninety percent similarity, this indeed is Lin Yao's blood!"

All the higher-ups of the Lin family who were present were shocked.

This was enough to prove that this Solar Flame Herb was the one that triggered the series of events.

At this moment, everyone at the scene looked at each other in disbelief.

"Could it be that they misunderstood Ye Xuan?"

"Is the true instigator actually Lin Mang?"

"Slander, this is slander." Lin Mang continued to argue, "He knows about the secret compartment under my bed. That Yan Yang Grass must have been swapped by him."

Upon hearing this, everyone seemed to think it made sense.

"Lin Mang, it seems you are not giving up. In that case, I will make your death quick!" Ye Xuan suddenly turned his head and said, "Everyone, I have crucial evidence. Please look outside the door!"

"Outside the door?"

The high-ranking members of the Lin family were left in confusion.

Just then,

"Lin Mang, I'm going to kill you!"

A sudden outcry came from outside the hall.
