Ye Qiubai's talent has returned, and his strength surpasses what it was before!
With a single move, he instantly killed the Chou family's first young master, Chou Siwu.
The news spread throughout Tianyuan City at lightning speed!
In an instant,
everyone in Tianyuan City was amazed; the city's situation was bound to change again.
And now, the center of everyone's discussion—
the Ye family.
All the elders stepped forward, whether sincerely or just pretending,
smiling from ear to ear as they greeted Ye Qiubai.
These same people had been ice-cold toward Ye Qiubai when he lost his talent, even speaking harshly to him.
Ye Qiubai didn't care about any of this, nor did he intend to get revenge.
But expecting him to treat these bootlicking elders kindly? Not a chance.
The elders could only put on awkward smiles.
Ye Qing's face was full of joy as he patted Ye Qiubai on the shoulder, laughing heartily: "Good, good! It's great that you've recovered!
But, Qiubai, how did you regain your strength? Did you chance upon some fortuitous encounter again?"
Hearing this, Ye Qiubai couldn't help but smile.
"It was Master who saved me. When I left the city gates, someone came to kill me, and I just so happened to run into Master.
He not only saved my life, but even used medicinal pills to restore my talent and taught me a supreme cultivation technique that sent my strength soaring."
"Then we really need to thank your master."
Ye Qing asked in surprise, "But for someone to have such medicinal pills, they couldn't be just some nobody, right?"
But Ye Qiubai only shook his head and said, "My master is from the Hidden Dao Academy, but he doesn't like showing off. Very few people know who he is."
Hidden Dao Academy?
No wonder.
Ye Qing nodded in realization, but then seemed to think of something and frowned, "Then, do you know who was trying to kill you before?"
For someone to try to murder his own son right after leaving Tianyuan City—how could Ye Qing not be furious?
A wave of tyrannical presence surged forth!
Ye Qing was, after all, head of the Ye family—one of the strongest experts in Tianyuan City.
Some of the weaker cultivators nearby instantly paled and stepped back from the oppressive force!
But Ye Qiubai's face stayed calm as he looked toward Jiang Tianhan, whose expression was complicated.
Truthfully, Jiang Tianhan knew some of the things his daughter had done.
Ye Qing followed Ye Qiubai's gaze to land on Jiang Tianhan, snarling, "Jiang Tianhan?"
Ye Qiubai shook his head. "It was Jiang Chan."
At his words, Ye Qing's aura exploded outward!
The pressure bore down on Jiang Tianhan as Ye Qing roared, "Jiang Tianhan, your Jiang family owes me an explanation!"
Before this, you not only unilaterally tore up the marriage contract in front of the whole Ye family, humiliating my son,
but now you even want to wipe him out!
No wonder Ye Qing's rage was boiling over!
He took a step forward, and a longsword slid into his hand!
Clearly, if Jiang Tianhan's explanation didn't satisfy him, Ye Qing would strike with his sword!
Seeing this, Jiang Tianhan could only sigh and force a bitter smile: "Brother Ye, it's true that my Jiang family has wronged yours in this. On behalf of my daughter Jiang Chan, I apologize to you."
"You think an apology is enough?" Ye Qing thundered. "If you knew it would come to this, why do something so heartless in the first place?"
Jiang Tianhan could only respond helplessly, "Back then, I wasn't aware of what Chan'er was planning. I only found out afterward. This was my failure as a father."
"No need to say more. Hand over Jiang Chan."
Ye Qing took another step, pointing his longsword directly at him, his expression dangerous: "If you don't hand her over, don't blame the Ye family for declaring war on the Jiang family."
"Chan'er has already left Tianyuan City."
Jiang Tianhan shook his head and turned to the calmly watching Ye Qiubai, saying, "I hope Qiubai can let go of this grudge. For that, my Jiang family is willing to give your family three years of Tianyuan City's profits."
Three years' profit!
That was no small amount of resources!
Ye Qing was about to say something, but Ye Qiubai stepped forward and cut him off: "Where did Jiang Chan go?"
If tearing up the engagement had turned Ye Qiubai and Jiang Chan into strangers,
then the assassination attempt had made them mortal enemies!
If there's a grudge, settle it. If there's hatred, avenge it.
That was Ye Qiubai's stance.
Jiang Tianhan's face grew stern as he said solemnly, "Qiubai, I know you hate her, but you can't get your revenge—Chan'er has joined a power you will never reach in your life."
Never reach in my life?
Ye Qiubai thought of his master, Lu Chang'sheng.
He honestly couldn't imagine anyone in this world being a match for his master.
The Primordial Sword Scripture didn't even seem like martial arts from this world.
The Creation Pill steals fortune from the heavens themselves—something that simply doesn't exist in the mortal realm.
Plus, there was that scroll,
and the grand array that Master set up before he left the mountain…
Ye Qiubai shook his head. "No need to worry yourself."
"Northern Region. Sunset Dynasty."
At these words, Ye Qing was stunned!
Great Elder Ye Ling's face was full of fear!
Ye Qiubai was slightly surprised as well.
The Northern Region was the strongest of the Four Regions.
And the Sunset Dynasty ruled all of the North.
Its experts were countless, dominating the world.
The current ruler of the Sunset Dynasty was ranked fourth on the Ranking Of The Four Regions.
The Ranking Of The Four Regions kept track of the known top fighters in all four regions.
Even Qin Tiannan, the Southern Region's Hidden Dao Academy head, only managed to reach number 26 on that ranking…
You could just imagine how impressive it was.
No one expected that Jiang Chan would go to the Sunset Dynasty!
In that case, even if Ye Qiubai's master was from the Hidden Dao Academy, he…
After a brief pause, Ye Qiubai regained his composure.
After all, he really couldn't think of anyone who could rival his master.
Not even the Sunset Dynasty.
Still, Ye Qiubai had no intention of asking his master to get revenge for him.
This was his own affair, after all.
Seeing Ye Qiubai silent, Jiang Tianhan believed he'd given up. "I'll have the next three years' profits delivered to you. As for Qiubai's situation, I truly apologize…"
With that, Jiang Tianhan led his people and walked away.
Ye Qing sighed, patted Ye Qiubai on the shoulder, and said, "Stop thinking about it. Focus on getting stronger."
Ye Qiubai nodded.
At that same time, the Chou Family declared war on the Ye family.
If Ye Qiubai was handed over, there would be peace.
Ye Qing had expected this, since Chou Siwu died at Ye Qiubai's hands.
He was already prepared for this outcome.
Just as he was about to speak, Ye Qiubai was already heading toward Ye Yan.
A raging aura surged up, sword qi shooting into the sky!
Ye Qiubai stared coldly at Ye Yan, whose eyes were full of terror, and said, "Dare to bet your life on a duel?"
