“Young man, who are you saying is relying on seniority!” several elders spoke at once, staring at Ye Chu with eyes full of anger.
Ye Chu smiled and said, “Seniors, please do not be so agitated. I did not mention any of you, but if you insist on applying it to yourselves, I really cannot stop you.”
Ye Chu’s words left the elders with no way to vent their anger. They all glared at him, their fists clenched tightly.
One of the elders who had remained silent until now stood up, looked at Ye Chu, and smiled, “I have long heard that the Wuxin Peak fears neither heaven nor earth and possesses the supreme demeanour of being unrivalled. Seeing it today, it indeed has a bit of such momentum. However, one must value keeping a low profile. With strength, one can naturally ignore anyone, but arrogance without strength will only make people think you are a clown.”
“Your words make sense, Senior, which is why I have always kept a low profile,” Ye Chu said with a smile, looking at everyone.
“Is that so?” the elder smiled. “The deed of Wuxin Peak destroying Buluo Mountain is buzzing all over the Love Domain. That is hardly a good reputation, is it?”
“I recently heard an even worse rumour. It is said that a certain holy land, for a bit of so called profit, gave away their Holy Maiden as a bargaining chip. Alas, tell me, how can there be such shameless people in this world? It truly refreshes my understanding of the ugliness in the world.” Ye Chu sighed, looked at the many elders, and said, “What do you seniors think? Is this not a disgusting place with disgusting people?”
As soon as Ye Chu said this, the crowd, who had originally remained calm, now had ugly expressions, and their gazes towards Ye Chu practically spat fire. If the previous words of Ye Chu had only angered some people, this sentence enraged everyone. Waves of momentum surged from each of their bodies, and as the momentum fluctuated, it all rushed towards Ye Chu.
Each of them had strength no less than that of an Emperor. The combined vibrating momentum was truly terrifying.
Tan Chen and Ye Jingyun also had drastic changes in their expressions. They did not expect Ye Chu to be so disregardful of their feelings and directly provoke everyone. Did he not know the price of provoking the crowd on the territory of the Tan family?
“Good, good! A young hero with such courage at a young age. The Tan family has always revered martial arts. Since you have come as a guest, I wonder if you could offer some guidance and let the entire Tan family experience the ultimate skills of Wuxin Peak?” an elder of the Tan family said, looking at Ye Chu.
“Sure, I also want to witness the outstanding talents of the Tan family,” Ye Chu said, looking at the crowd. “It is a perfect opportunity to seek advice and see the elegance of the geniuses from the holy land!”
This single sentence made the many elders frown. The meaning of the words of Ye Chu was very clear. Did you not want a martial arts contest? Then bring it on. I am not afraid of a single one of your younger generation.
With this single sentence, Ye Chu excluded the older generation. If they were to make a move, they would be relying on their seniority.
However, given the strength with which Ye Chu defeated Tan Gui, who among the younger generation of the Tan family could be his opponent? Although Tan Chen was good, he was much inferior compared to Tan Gui.
With this single sentence, Ye Chu completely blocked the rebuttal of the crowd.
“Seniors, if any outstanding talents come to offer guidance, they can just come directly to me. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first.”
Having said that, Ye Chu ignored the crowd and strode towards the outside.
The crowd had gloomy faces, but not a single one made a move to stop Ye Chu. They just watched helplessly as he left their line of sight.
Seeing the elders about to erupt, Tan Chen quickly led Ye Jingyun away. He caught up with Ye Chu, and seeing him walking calmly and lazily, he could not help but smile bitterly and say to him, “You have poked a hornet’s nest today. Although they can endure it for now, they will always find a way to deal with you.”
“Of course I know this, but do you think they would give me a good look if I did not offend them? They wanted to teach me a lesson today and then drive me away, but I simply will not let them have their way,” Ye Chu said with a smile. “As for them coming to deal with me, that is something I cannot refuse.”
Hearing Ye Chu say this, Tan Chen said somewhat helplessly, “Anyway, just be careful. According to the news from the clan, the blind date partner of Miaotong has also set off to come here. Your pressure will be even greater then.”
“You are wrong!” Ye Chu looked at Tan Chen and said, “I have never considered this as pressure. If he wants to come, then let them come. I just happen to want to know if the holy land is truly so unshakeable!”
The arrogant words made Tan Chen frown slightly. However, looking at Ye Chu and seeing his calm eyes, he felt that the words of Ye Chu had some confidence behind them.
But what confidence could Ye Chu have on the territory of the Tan family? Even if he reached the terrifying realm of seizing the creation of heaven and earth, he could not have such confidence on the territory of the Tan family.
“Just be careful yourself!” Tan Chen did not say anything else. Ye Chu was a paranoid person, and this paranoia was hard for him to understand. Once Ye Chu decided on something, it was useless for anyone to say anything.
Ye Jingyun, who was beside Ye Chu, suddenly thought of something. With a wave of her arm, a sharp sword appeared in her hand. “This is the supreme treasure of the Ye family, a weapon left behind by that powerhouse of the Ye family. Although it is suppressed and cannot burst out with its full strength, holding it can give you some confidence. You have the bloodline of the Ye family. Even if it is thin, you can barely use it. Even if it bursts out with ten percent of its power, it will make some people dare not underestimate you.”
Ye Chu looked at Ye Jingyun, extremely surprised in his heart. He did not expect this woman to do such a thing. His gaze fell on her long, slender, and sexy legs, then shifted to the long sword in her hand. He nodded and did not refuse, “Thank you!”
“I just feel that since you are rarely doing something decent, I have to support you!” Ye Jingyun said, looking at Ye Chu.
Ye Chu shrugged. Seeing the slight worry in the eyes of Ye Jingyun, he smiled and said, “Rest assured, I know my limits when doing things. If it really comes to it, I will just snatch Miaotong away and take her back to Xia Mountain. Who would be able to do anything to us?”
Thinking of their base camp at Xia Mountain, Ye Jingyun also smiled. She thought it was indeed true. Even for a holy land, it would be hard to shake Xia Mountain.
Tan Chen listened to their conversation from the side in confusion, not understanding what Ye Chu meant by Xia Mountain. What place could possibly withstand the revenge of two holy lands?
But when he looked at Ye Jingyun, she did not give him an answer either. For him, who had been to Xia Mountain, this felt even more bizarre.
“Miaotong has been grounded recently and cannot see you. She asked me to pass on a message that she will be cultivating with her father these days. She tells you not to worry!” Tan Chen suddenly thought of something and said to Ye Chu.
Ye Chu smiled and nodded, not really minding it. There was a powerful force inside the body of Tan Miaotong. She had told him before that she wanted to master that power so that they would have more say. It seemed she was now trying to figure out how to control it.
