Hmph! What could this junior even do to him?
“Family Head, are we really going to put that fellow’s grandfather’s memorial in the ancestral temple?” asked a Ye family elder, “Should we not just attack Ye Chen directly? If word gets out, it would be bad for our reputation, don’t you think?”
“Hmph!” Ye Fudong pondered for a long time before saying, “How about this? If Ye Chen wants to come back to pay his respects to our ancestors, we’ll give him three tests. Only after he passes the three tests can he place his grandfather’s memorial tablet in the ancestral temple!”
“Fallen leaves eventually return to their roots. However, he has to be qualified!”
“I’m sure Ye Chen also wants his grandfather’s memorial tablet to be placed in the ancestral temple, but if he wants to do so and return to the family, he must pass three tests!”
“Ye Wushuang!”
“You will be in charge of the second test!”
Ye Fudong’s expression was cold. He had been in charge of the family for so many years, so how could he not have some tricks up his sleeve?
Moreover, ever since Ye Chen had stirred up a storm, he had used up all the resources that had been left behind in the past. Within just a few months, he had broken through to the third level of the Supreme Emperor realm!
Furthermore, his foundation was extraordinary. He already had a Dao that was ready to be absorbed, so he did not need to perfect it at the Daoyuan realm. In addition, there were still two embryonic forms of the Great Dao waiting for him to absorb, which gave him even greater strength as a Supreme Emperor realm expert.
If these resources had been spent on ordinary cultivators, they would have given birth to over a dozen Supreme Emperor realm experts!
In order to obtain a Dao to absorb at the Daoyuan realm, the death of a late-stage Daoyuan realm expert was required, following which the power of the Dao would be extracted from their body. In other words, someone else had to pay the price for his cultivation advancement.
As for the embryonic form of the Great Dao at the Supreme Emperor realm, it was the same. One embryonic form of the Great Dao required the death of one Supreme Emperor realm expert.
After so many years, the Ye family only had a dozen embryonic forms of Great Dao and the power of dozens of Dao. This was the foundation they had built for themselves as an ancient reclusive family.
On the outside, they may not seem as strong as other top families, but once their foundation was utilized, they could instantly surpass some of those families by a large margin.
At the same time, after activating their foundation, many peerless experts naturally emerged.
For example, Ye Wushuang had used the foundation of the family, especially a large amount of demonic beast blood essence, to advance to the third level of the Overlord Body realm.
“The second test?”
“Then, Family Head, who do you plan to place in charge of the first and third tests?” Ye Wushuang asked. “I should be the one to execute them!”
Back then, Ye Chen and Ye Tianzheng’s branch of the Ye family had been wiped out. Ye Fudong had seized power and replaced the main lineage with his.
Therefore, the closest Ye family lineage to Ye Chen and Ye Tianzheng’s was Ye Wushuang’s.
“Ye Nantian!”
“That guy studied under the seniors of the Blood Spirit Clan to cultivate their secret techniques a hundred years ago!”
“This brother of mine has even captured more than a hundred Supreme Emperor realm experts,” Ye Fudong smiled and said.
“The lords of the Blood Sword sect have rewarded him with some treasures and opportunities for achieving such a peerless battle record!”
“He’s been in secluded cultivation ever since he returned to the Kunlun Mountains a hundred years ago, but has recently come out of seclusion. Although his cultivation level isn’t the highest, his combat strength is absolutely terrifying!”
He looked at the door and said, “Please come out!”
Clang!
The metal door suddenly cracked, and then a strong gust of wind blew, turning it into powder.
A purple-robed young man with cold eyes suddenly walked in. His body emitted an invincible fighting spirit, as if he was a war god who had emerged from ancient times. He held an ice spear in his hand, and the cold aura he emitted froze the ground and walls.
He did not show any expression as he looked at the elders and said, “The seventh generation elder of the Ye family, Ye Nantian!”
His introduction was short and sweet.
“Ye Nantian is one of the heroes of the Ye family!”
“He once killed thirty Supreme Emperor realm experts by himself!” Ye Fudong said mysteriously, “As for his cultivation level, he has reached the sixth level of the Supreme Emperor realm expert, and has a first-grade immortal artifact, the Frost Spear. Ye Chen has no chance of winning.”
“He will take charge of the first test!”
He patted Ye Nantian’s shoulder and smiled, “I believe you are interested in this kid. However, we have to do our best to destroy this little b*stard!”
“If you hold back, you’ll have a hard time explaining yourself to the seniors of the Blood Spirit Clan when they arrive a year from now.”
Ye Fudong spoke openly to the family’s hidden experts. Any one of them could easily crush him, but he was the family head, so he had the absolute right to mobilize them.
Any one of them was enough to shock the outside world. A family that had existed for thousands of years could not be underestimated!
The Huang family’s top combatants were only eighth-level Supreme Emperor realm experts, but even Han Yun was no match for them as he did not have the treasures and techniques that were given to these experts by the Blood Spirit Clan.
Therefore, even though Ye Nantian was only over a hundred years old, he was invincible within his realm in the Kunlun Mountains!
“What about the third test? The first test will be administered by Nantian, and I will administer the second, so should we find a top-notch expert to administer the third test?”
“Naturally!” Ye Fudong smiled and said, “We have our own candidates for the third round. Of course, there’s actually a fourth round, which will be the rest of the Supreme Emperor realm elders. If he passes all three tests, all of the Supreme Emperor realm elders will set up the Seven Nights Soul Splitting Formation to kill Ye Chen and Ye Tianzheng!”
He was well aware of what he had done back then. He killed Ye Chen’s grandparents and chased Ye Chen’s family out of the house. Thus, the feud between them was irreconcilable!
Either Ye Chen died or he died!
As for assassinations?
This method was basically ineffective against Ye Chen.
An individual assassinating Ye Chen was equivalent to sending himself to his death. If a large group of people was dispatched to assassinate him, it would not be called an assassination. Moreover, the situation was not advantageous. If Ye Chen set a trap for them, the entire team of Supreme Emperor realm experts might perish!
Therefore, he chose to lure Ye Chen here by using the ancestral worship ceremony, which gave them the excuse to keep others that were not part of the Ye family out of the matter.
When the time came, they would be fighting on their home ground, and were confident that they could take down Ye Chen and Ye Tianzheng!
“As for the person in charge of the third test, if the third test is actually needed, I’ll reveal it then.”
“Even if Ye Chen is lucky enough to pass the first and second tests, the third test is definitely someone he will never be able to surpass in his entire lifetime. Before that person, no matter how strong he is, he’s still an ant!”
