852: Chapter 848: Determination 852: Chapter 848: Determination Ye Zhihuan shook his head and said, “Very well, since Tiann is neither righteous nor virtuous, we initially hoped to resolve this peacefully.
But now it seems things are far more complicated than we imagined.
This ti, we must truly fight to the death!”
Ye Zhiran added, “If this is how they treat the sect’s outer disciples, there’s no need to expect any better treatnt for others.
Hoping that Tiann values righteousness is nothing more than wishful thinking!”
Ye Zhicang said, “Judging from the attitudes of those outer disciples just now, they’re likely preparing to rebel against Tiann!
If that happens, the entire Tianshan will likely descend into chaos before long!”
Ye Zhirong bitterly smiled and said, “Although this is an internal matter of Tiann, due to the Slaughter Order and Ye Tian’s involvent, it seems our Ye family cannot remain uninvolved!”
For the Ye family, whether it be Tiann or the forces behind that dragon-nad youth, both are colossally powerful and absolutely not to be offended.
Unfortunately, because of this matter, the Ye family has been dragged into the conflict, leaving even the Ye Four Elders without recourse.
Ye Zhicang imdiately said, “Everyone, our Ye family was once known as the ‘God Slayer.’ Our family’s heritage is no less impressive than any other.
Moreover, our Ye family has always been backed by divine powers.
Therefore, this ti, we have no reason to fear anyone!”
Ye Zhicang’s words, half-understood, were cryptic and enigmatic.
The three Ding brothers listened, their faces full of bewildernt.
Since when did this elder of the Ye family beco so superstitious?
As for Ye Zhihuan, Ye Zhiran, and Ye Zhirong, they were equally puzzled.
What on earth did Ye Zhicang an by this?
Only Ye Tian understood!
The deity served by the Ye family’s ancestors was, in fact, the Ye Divine Clan.
Not only in the past, but even now, the Ye family continued to revere and serve them!
Thus, whether it be Tiann or the family backing that dragon-nad youth, as long as the Ye family stood under the aegis of the Ye Divine Clan, they had nothing to fear…
Ye Tian smiled faintly and asked, “Ye Zhicang, you Ye Four Elders went to Tianshan to settle the ti, location, and rules for my duel with Sima Yun.
Why is there still no word from you?
The Ding brothers and I waited anxiously at the inn for ages, right until the inn was bombed, yet you still hadn’t returned.
What exactly happened during your ti on Tianshan?”
“Don’t even ntion it!
Those people of Tiann had no regard for our Ye family whatsoever!”
Ye Zhicang sighed heavily and recounted everything the Ye Four Elders had endured during their ti on Tianshan, leaving nothing out…
It turns out the mont the Ye Four Elders arrived on Tianshan, they handed over their formal letter to state their purpose.
The people of Tiann, acting courteously, arranged for the best guest room to accommodate the Four Elders.
The Tiann attendants told the Four Elders that their Sect Leader was occupied and temporarily unable to et with them.
They asked the Four Elders to stay in the guest room for a day or two until the Sect Leader returned, promising that he would et them then.
Given the excellent accommodations provided by Tiann, which were highly tempting to the Ye Four Elders, they contentedly settled in!
However, after several days in the guest room, aside from soone delivering als at regular intervals, no one ca to attend to them…
As ti went on, the Ye Four Elders naturally began to feel sothing was amiss!
So they sought out Tiann’s attendants again, who inford them that the Sect Leader had yet to return and asked them to continue waiting.
Helpless, the Ye Four Elders returned once more to the guest room to wait…
Another day passed, and still, there was no news of the Sect Leader’s return.
One evening, with nothing better to do, Ye Zhihuan wandered aimlessly within Tiann.
Unintentionally, he strayed far from the guest room area and beca lost.
Ye Zhihuan searched everywhere for the way back to his guest room but accidentally stumbled upon another location!
It was none other than Tiann’s kitchen!!
As an honored guest, Ye Zhihuan entering the kitchen was highly improper and could negatively affect Tiann’s perception of the Ye family.
However, needing directions, Ye Zhihuan had no choice but to enter the kitchen…
Before Ye Zhihuan could speak, he overheard a conversation between two Tiann disciples in the kitchen!
“Make sure to save a portion of the leftovers for those four old geezers in the guest room after feeding the pigs!”
“Got it!
Honestly, I can’t figure out how those old geezers keep eating that rotten pig slop without any complaints.”
“The Ye family’s poverty is well-known.
It’s already rciful of us not to feed them literal crap!”
“Exactly!
Since those old geezers are eating pig feed anyway, it doesn’t matter how long they stay here.
After all, the Sect Leader isn’t going to see them!”
…
Hearing these words, how could Ye Zhihuan, as Clan Leader of the Ye family, tolerate such disgrace?
Fuming, he returned to the guest room and recounted the entire kitchen ordeal to his three brothers.
A man of integrity can be killed but not humiliated!
Even if the Ye family had to bow and scrape, they could not endure such degradation!
Thus, Ye Zhihuan led the Ye Four Elders in leaving Tianshan imdiately.
Unexpectedly, upon reaching the base of the mountain, they encountered Ye Tian leading Tiann’s outer disciples in opposition against Wang Cai.
It was under these circumstances that the Ye Four Elders lent their assistance.
After Ye Zhicang’s explanation, the Ding brothers exchanged bewildered glances, never imagining such absurd events could happen to the Ye Four Elders on Tianshan…
This also clarified why Zhao Sixi hadn’t spotted the Ye Four Elders when ascending the mountain—because they had been confined to the guest room all along, making it impossible for any of the outer disciples to see them!
“Pfft!”
Ye Tian couldn’t help but laugh aloud.
Even Tiann knew of the Ye family’s poverty, deliberately playing tricks on the Ye Four Elders.
The Ye family had bankrupted itself to feed the gluttonous divine beast Pixiu.
The entire family was so destitute they couldn’t even afford proper als.
Thus, the Ye Four Elders had long been accustod to eating stale or expired food.
Consequently, when Tiann served them rancid als to humiliate them, they didn’t even notice…
This explained why the Ye Four Elders’ attitude had shifted so abruptly.
Initially, they had no intention of opposing Tiann or its allies, but after such disgraceful treatnt, they abandoned their previous stance!
Whether it was Tiann’s outer disciples rebelling or Ye Tian incurring the wrath of the dragon-nad youth’s family, the Ye Four Elders found themselves aboard the sa ship and could only align themselves accordingly…
Ye Tian grinned and said, “Ye Four Elders, since we are now all in the sa boat, we must stand united in the face of shared enemies!
At this point, my battle with Sima Yun is secondary.
Once the outer disciples of Tiann are gathered, we’ll storm Tiann together!
When Tiann is destroyed, killing Sima Yun will be a simple matter, and the martial artists of the Night King Hall under his Puppetry Technique will also be freed!”
Although Ye Tian spoke with fervor, the Ye Four Elders couldn’t help but worry…
Ye Zhihuan said, “Ye Tian, how could things possibly go as smoothly as you imagine?
Tiann is teeming with experts.
They have nurous masters in the Innate Realm!
How could these outer disciples be their match?
Even if they gather more people, it’d be nothing but moths flying into the fla!”
Ye Zhiran echoed, “And then there’s that monster you and the outer disciples just fought.
If he intervenes, I fear none of you combined will be his opponent!
That dragon-nad youth’s personal bodyguard has likely already reached the ‘Heavenly Person Realm!'”
“Heavenly Person Realm?”
Ye Tian froze.
No wonder he couldn’t defeat Wang Cai even after using his full strength—Wang Cai was only using 60% of his power.
The Heavenly Person Realm was indeed a whole tier above his just-achieved Innate Realm.
Currently, he was no match for Wang Cai…
Still, Ye Tian felt no fear in the face of such strength!
“What of the Heavenly Person Realm?
The next ti we et, I will defeat him for sure!”
Ye Tian declared proudly, his words causing the Ye Four Elders’ hearts to skip a beat.
A martial artist who had only just broken into the Innate Realm daring to challenge soone in the Heavenly Person Realm and aiming for victory—was this not the delusion of a madman?
If any other martial artist had made such a claim, the Ye Four Elders would’ve laughed until their sides hurt, but coming from Ye Tian, they couldn’t help but believe it, if only a little…
Ye Zhicang gently said, “Ye Tian, I believe in your strength, your potential, and your rapid growth.
However, dealing with a Heavenly Person Realm expert should not be rushed.
In our next encounter, rely holding him off would already be comndable!”
Ye Zhiran agreed, “Precisely!
With your talent, breaking into the Heavenly Person Realm within three years won’t be difficult, but attempting it in a short period is unrealistic.
Patience is critical in martial arts cultivation—haste is counterproductive.”
“Heh… Is that so…”
Ye Tian forced a bitter smile.
He couldn’t deny Wang Cai’s power and skill.
At the mont, he was no match for Wang Cai, but given ti, with his rate of improvent, he was confident he could prevail…
As the Ye Four Elders had said, the imdiate priority was his duel with Sima Yun and rescuing his brothers controlled by Sima Yun.
Fulfilling these objectives removed the need for a head-on clash with Wang Cai for now.
“In that case, my fight with Sima Yun is of utmost importance.
However, if Wang Cai truly targets again, I won’t let him off lightly either!”
Ye Tian said firmly.
Although Wang Cai had the upper hand in their previous bout, it hadn’t been a decisive victory…
Who would win in their next battle—only ti would tell!
