Chapter 48: Not Leaving Any Room for Mercy

  "Are you going to be even more shameless?!" The elder with a square face and a flat mouth said coldly, "What did you say when Ye Chen went up on the competition stage? Did you take all of us, including the two elders, as fools? You wanted to use the clan's competition stage to get rid of Ye Chen, but now your son is not strong enough, and he tried to kill someone but ended up getting crippled instead - that's his own fault!"

  The scene below was quiet and tongue-tied, although everyone could see that the elder was determined to maintain Ye Chen, but did not expect to maintain it to this extent, really dizzying.

  Ye Xun's face changed color, from black to green, from green to purple, and finally he forced himself to say: "Even if it is so, he has already made a move to disable Qing Er and Ye Han, and he himself has not suffered any damage. The matter can be considered as over, but his heart is vicious, and he still wants to poison Sheng Er, which is unbearable!"

  Ye Chen was also somewhat surprised, he didn't expect the elder to be so supportive of him. Since someone had his back, he might as well go all out. Ye Sheng would definitely become a big problem in the future if left alone. Without saying a word, he took a few steps and rushed to Ye Sheng's side, one foot trampling on his face, while the other foot ruthlessly stomped down. With a burst of energy, it shattered Ye Sheng's dantian and meridians. Ye Sheng woke up from the intense pain, opening his eyes to see a large foot trampling on his face and abdomen, followed by another wave of heart-wrenching pain. His vision went black again, and he fainted once more.

  "Y...!" Ye Yun's eyes widened, and he let out a loud roar. His entire body emitted a fierce and violent aura, like a wounded beast. Ignoring the elder in front of him, he took a step back, turned around, and charged towards Ye Chen.

  Ye Chen coldly watched as Ye Xun rushed towards him in a frenzy, his hands naturally hanging down, the corners of his mouth curled up in a cold smile, and he didn't dodge or evade because he knew someone would stop him.

  As expected, Ye Hui had just walked past when the elder moved, reaching out from behind him. One hand formed a claw-like shape, locking onto Ye Hui's shoulder blade like an iron hoop. The elder then jerked his arm, causing Ye Hui's arm to drop instantly. The elder struck again, dislocating Ye Hui's shoulder bone. Ye Hui let out a loud roar and crashed to the ground with a thud. In that instant, he seemed to have aged twenty years.

  Although the family elder was at the peak of his cultivation, he still needed to use some skill to subdue Ye Xun. However, because Ye Xun's anger had reached his heart and his eyes only saw Ye Chen, he didn't put up any resistance and allowed himself to be easily subdued with a single move that targeted his shoulder blades.

  The entire field was silent to the point where even breathing sounds could be heard clearly, from Ye Xun rushing onto the arena and striking Ye Chen, to Ye Chen withstanding a blow, and then to Ye Sheng being defeated, Ye Xun being subdued by the elder, the whole process took no more than ten breaths.

  Several things happened during this period of time gave the Ye family a strong psychological blow, and each thing can be called a major event for the family.

  "Is the family going to change?"

  Many of the disciples thought to themselves, The masters of the Ye family sitting in their seats had extremely colorful expressions, with shock, astonishment, unwillingness, helplessness, and some even deeply feared Ye Chen. After today's events, they didn't dare to contend with Ye Chen again, nor did they dare to have any ambitions for the position of family master.

  The family elder intervened to stop Ye Xun, although it was said that Ye Xun disrupted the clan comparison and ignored the ancestral rules first, but everyone knew that the biggest reason was because of Ye Chen, because his talent was seen by the elder, who spared no expense to maintain him.

  Those who were once proud of their victory, with Ye Sheng and Ye Qing as their leaders, now looked like they had lost all hope. At this moment, even the thought of death seemed appealing to them. Their eyes revealed deep worry and fear. Judging from Ye Chen's actions towards Ye Sheng, Ye Qing, and Ye Han, he was clearly a vengeful person who would settle scores. Given that these brothers had repeatedly mocked and bullied Ye Chen under Ye Sheng's orders, would Ye Chen not take revenge on them?

  The masters of the Ye family were silent, and no one spoke up for Ye Xun in front of the elder. Firstly, they had been secretly fighting each other for many years and had long been waiting for him to step down. Secondly, if they pleaded now, even just a word for Ye Xun, it would most likely incur Ye Chen's resentment. Who would be willing to do such a foolish thing? With Ye Chen's rise, the Ye family was already unstoppable.

  Moreover, even Ye Feng, who had always stood on the same line as Ye Xun, remained silent, and others could hardly say a few hypocritical words.

  A faint smile appeared on Ye Yan's face, and he lowered his head to look at his father, Ye Xiao Tian. There was an inexplicable glint in his eyes.

  On the competitive stage, Ye Chen glanced at Ye Xun. The former lofty and arrogant family master now sat on the ground like a dog with its legs broken, his eyes dull and silent, not even looking at Ye Sheng who lay beside him, his body covered in blood and his meridians completely crippled.

  Standing in his position, having been in power for too long, he was suddenly knocked from heaven to hell, and psychologically could not bear such a huge drop. He clearly knew that his position as the head of the household was gone, and not only that, but the days ahead would be even more unbearable, and he would be subjected to contempt, ridicule, disdain, and mockery by both family members and outsiders. And his two sons were also ruined, wanting revenge, with a faint glimmer of hope.

  The audience was eerily quiet, and for a long time, no one made a sound. The events that had transpired at this gathering were beyond the imagination of everyone in the Ye family, including Ye Chen, the perpetrator himself, who had not anticipated such an outcome.

  It has been over a hundred years since the Ye family held a family comparison meeting, and nothing like this has ever happened before. Today is still the first time.

  It wasn't until a long time had passed that Ye Xun finally came back to his senses, and at that moment, his eyes were extremely calm, without any ripples. He exerted great force to prop his arm on the ground of the competition stage, quickly twisting his shoulder, making a cracking sound as he reset the dislocated joint. Then, with an expressionless face, he glanced at Ye Chen, turned around and said to the elder: "The fourth generation head of the Ye family, Ye Xun, has committed a crime against the clan rules, and is willing to accept punishment. Please allow me to send my two sons back first, then I will follow the elder to the Elder's Institute to receive my punishment."

  Ye Xun's voice was calm and flat, without a hint of emotional fluctuation, but Ye Chen felt a deep-seated resentment hidden in his tranquil eyes the moment he turned around. The feeling was like a poisonous arrow locked onto his throat, waiting for the right moment to strike and silence him with one shot.

  Ye Chen knew that from now on, he would face Ye Xun's crazy revenge, which was exactly what Ye Chen expected. Only in this way could there be a reason to kill Ye Xun. In the future, he noticed that it was necessary to leave the Ye family, and the position of the master of the house fell to Ye Xiao Tian, which was the most suitable. Therefore, Ye Xun must die, otherwise, who knows what kind of changes would happen in the future.

  Can't help but say, Ye Yun as the head of the family, indeed has a extraordinary temperament. If it were someone else, with two sons being demoted and himself losing face in front of the entire family, they would definitely go crazy. But after Ye Yun's brief outburst of anger, he completely calmed down, his expression didn't show any abnormality, nor could you sense his resentment towards Ye Chen. The fact that he can endure this shows that he is a dangerous person.

  After Ye Xun's words came out, the people below cast surprised glances at him, they seemed to find it hard to believe that Ye Xun would be so calm and swallow this breath. Only those family leaders understood in their hearts that from now on, Ye Chen would receive Ye Xun's crazy revenge without hesitation.

  "Go, come to the nursing home when the time comes." The square-faced old man glanced at Ye Xun with a bland expression, then said to Ye Chen: "Tiger father has no dog son, your father was the number one talent in Lincheng back then, and can be considered an absolute genius throughout Chu land. And you are even more outstanding than him, surpassing blue comes from indigo, what a blessing for my Ye family."

  He said here, the square-faced old man paused for a moment, and then said word by word: "From now on, you will enjoy the treatment and cultivation that no one in the family has enjoyed for hundreds of years. The family will spare no effort to provide you with a large amount of spiritual medicine."

  In an instant, countless eyes in the audience converged on Ye Chen's body, filled with admiration and envy.

  The elder spared no effort in providing him with spiritual medicine. Not to mention the Ye family, but among all families in Lin City, no one has ever received such cultivation.

  "Thank you, elders, for your kindness. I, Ye Chen, will not disappoint your expectations." Ye Chen said sincerely, but his heart was devoid of any excitement. In his opinion, the spiritual medicine that the family could provide was at most only low-grade extreme-quality spiritual medicine. The family wouldn't have too much of this kind of spiritual medicine either. After being robbed by him this time, they might not even be able to take out extreme-quality spiritual medicine.

  For Ye Chen, the effect of low-grade top-quality spiritual medicine was not great. Once he broke through to the seventh stage, even twenty or thirty plants would be unable to help him break through to the eighth stage. Looking at the spiritual medicine purchased by his family this time, there were only a few plants of top-quality spiritual medicine per year, which for Ye Chen was like trying to put out a fire with a cup of water.

  "Hmm." The elder with a broad face and mouth nodded, then turned around and stepped down from the stage. He said to the Ye family crowd: "The clan competition will continue. If no one comes on stage to challenge within a minute, this year's clan competition will end here. Tomorrow, the disciples who obtained rewards can go to the family medicine library to receive spiritual medicine."

  The entire venue was silent, no one dared to go on stage to challenge Ye Chen. The Ye family's children saw Ye Chen on the competition stage and their hearts were racing with fear. Going on stage to challenge him? It was either seeking humiliation or looking for a beating.

  At this time, Ye Hui also picked up Ye Qing's body and walked past Ye Chen, with a calm face, without even looking at Ye Chen.

  Ye Chen's mouth twitched slightly, a cold smile spreading across his face. As Ye Xun walked by him, he said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Ye Xun, I'm waiting for your revenge, don't disappoint me."

  Ye Xun's body trembled slightly, then quickly returned to normal, and he quietly left with Ye Qing. Countless gazes followed his footsteps until he walked down the stage, taking Ye Qing's body away, disappearing at the entrance of the training ground.

  Ye Chen stood on the competition stage and withdrew his gaze from the entrance of the training grounds, then smiled at Ye Yan, Ye Xiao Tian, and Nan Er.

  Nan'er's big, shining eyes were full of admiration, her delicate white face flushed with an exciting red color, "Young master, you're so awesome, so amazing!"

  Nan's tender voice was filled with intense excitement, the scenes that had just unfolded made her forget to cheer for Ye Chen, and now that Ye Xun had left, she finally came back to herself, waving her small hands excitedly.
