Bab 6: The Confrontation
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A voice reverberated in the sky above the Ye family.
Everyone in the Ye family ancestral hall got nervous.
The Yuwen family and the Shentu family had arrived.
These two families had pressured them to the point of fighting.
Ye Ding's face was filled with anger.
The Yuwen family and the Shentu family's disciples were the first to cause trouble for them.
Now, these two families actually used this as an excuse to march against the Ye family.
"Chief, the Yuwen and Shentu families are truly despicable!" Ye Ding said angrily.
Ye Tu's brows furrowed.
He knew that the Yuwen family and the Shentu family were despicable people but if they decided to go with this excuse, the Ye family had to accept it.
The disciples of the big families all had a Natal Lamp in the ancestral hall of the family.
When the light goes out, the person dies.
In addition, this Natal Lamp could also restore the scene before one's death through a great spell, so that the family could take revenge.
From the looks of it, the so-called sky-prides of the Yuwen and Shentu families were just men of sacrifice raised by the two families.
They wanted to find a reason to attack the Ye family.
Ye Tu coldly snorted.
If two great families joined forces to attack one family with no valid reasons, the other families could help.
After all, the other families didn't want to break the balance between the five families.
Now, the reason has become valid.
The Ye family was in a state of isolation and helplessness, the Yuwen and Shentu families had gone through great efforts to make sure of that.
The other elders of the Ye family were also furious.
"The Ye family has stood in the east for so many years, but we've never been so aggrieved before."
"Chief! Let's fight"
"The Ye family will definitely slaughter them today!"
"Although the two top families have joined forces, it's not like we don't have the power to fight them!"
"That's right, Chief. It's impossible to talk about peace now. The only way is to stop killing by killing."
"It seems that we have been silent for too long, so much so that the world has forgotten how we became the lord of a region.
The auras of Saints, Grand Saints, and Pre-Emperor reverberated in the ancestral hall.
Killing intent soared to the sky.
Ye Tu nodded slightly. "If that's the case, let's fight!"
To be honest, Ye Tu was also furious.
As the chief of the Ye family, he had been provoked by other families multiple times, and his patience wore thin as the enemies marched to his doorstep.
If he did not have to worry about the Ye family's territory and members of the family with lower cultivation base, he would have long since rolled up his sleeves and directly attacked the enemies.
Did they really think that Ye Tu was a good-for-nothing Seventh-grade Pre-Emperor cultivator?
"The Chief is wise!"
"Even if we die today, we must drag the Yuwen family and the Shentu family down with us!"
"That's right. If they want the blood essence of a Grand Emperor, they would have to pay the price!"
"That's right. Besides, we still stand a chance to win!"
The Ye family members stared sharply as they looked at the people above them with overflowing killing intent.
"Everyone, don't be anxious, the Yuwen family and the Shentu family have come too quickly this time. The old, young, and women of the family have yet to leave. Let the old and young leave first," Ye Tu said.
Ye Ding agreed. "As the saying goes, where there is life, there is hope. Even if the Ye family is defeated this time and the younger generation escapes, there will be a day when we come back for revenge!"
Ye Tu nodded slightly. Then, the cultivation of a Seventh-grade Pre-Emperor erupted.
In an instant, Ye Tu's figure disappeared from the Ye family ancestral hall.
…
In the sky above the Ye family.
Ye Tu tore through space and appeared in front of the Yuwen and Shentu's chiefs in an instant.
He looked down at Yuwen Huayu and Shentu Kui and said coldly, "Chiefs, why are you looking for me?"
As he spoke, the pressure of a Seventh-grade Pre-Emperor struck the two chiefs like mountains.
Yuwen Huayu and Shentu Kui's expressions changed slightly.
Ye Tu had not been idle in the past ten thousand years.
Ye Tu's strength was probably already in the late stage of the Seventh-grade Pre-Emperor realm.
Yuwen Huayu and Shentu Kui unleashed their cultivation to resist Ye Tu's pressure.
"Hmph!" Yuwen Huayu snorted coldly. "Chief Ye, Ye Han of your family has killed two of our family's sky-prides. I'm sure you're aware of this, right?"
Yuwen Huayu was already a Sixth-grade Pre-Emperor, only one grade lower than Ye Tu, so it was easy for him to resist Ye Tui's suppression.
On the other hand, Shentu Kui, who had the strength of a Fifth-grade Pre-Emperor, was still not confident in his ability to fight against a Seventh-grade Pre-Emperor.
For a moment, a trace of fear rose from the bottom of Shentu Kui's heart.
His cultivation was at the late stage of Seventh-grade Pre-Emperor, only a step away from Eighth-grade
Was this really an existence that a Fifth or Sixth-grade Pre-Emperor could challenge?
Yuwen Huayu, who was standing at the side, could tell that Shentu Kui had the intention to retreat. He quickly transmitted a message.
"Brother Shentu, the reason why we joined forces was not to kill Ye Tu, but to delay him."
Upon hearing Yuwen Huayu's reminder, Shentu Kui managed to calm himself down.
He had no choice.
The pressure of a Seventh-grade Pre-Emperor was still too strong.
Cultivators at a lower realm would be intimidated by the pressure of a higher realm.
If it wasn't for the fact that Yuwen Huayu, a Sixth-grade Pre-Emperor, was standing by his side, Shentu Kui would have already run as far away as he could.
However, Yuwen Huayu was right.
They had not joined forces to kill Ye Tu.
Who could kill a Seventh-grade Pre-Emperor?
They were to delay Ye Tu until the two families had killed most of the Ye family members.
They would then invite their respective patriarchs to help, and the four of them would try to suppress Ye Tu together.
By then the Ye family would be within their reach.
Shentu Kui looked at the prosperous Ye family and could not help but gulped nervously.
The Shentu family had always been the weakest among the five great families.
However, if he could take over half of the Ye family, then the Shentu family would be able to escape the reputation of being the weakest!
It was even possible for them to become the second largest family on the continent.
At the thought of this, Shentu Kui's greed instantly triumphed over his fear.
"Brother Yuwen, don't worry. We're already here. Why would we run away?" Shentu Kui said.
Yuwen Huayu chuckled. "With you and I together, the Ye family would have no way to make a comeback!"
Ye Tu's heart sank when he saw Yuwen Huayu and Shentu Kui joining forces.
As a Seventh-grade Pre-Emperor, he wasn't afraid of them.
However, if he was delayed for too long, the other members of the Ye family would be in danger.
"Chief Ye, the Ye family is powerful. We don't want to make an enemy out of the Ye family. As long as you hand over Ye Han and compensate us, we'll leave," Yuwen Huayu continued.
"That's right. We only want some compensation. After all, our two families have lost two sky-prides. You can't just not do anything, right?"
Ye Tu frowned.
Little compensation?
If he had agreed, Yuwen Huayu would probably have asked for the blood essence of the Grand Emperor.
As a matter of fact, they would also not hand Ye Han over.
If he really handed Ye Han over, the Ye family would be the joke of the continent.
