Rumbling sounds resounded out, and with the courtyard as the center, numerous rays of light shot into the sky. The faces of all the members of the Yu Clan were flushed red, and their bodies erupted with shocking rage.
This was Tian Hua City, the land of the Yu Clan. It was sacred and inviolable.
And Yu Qingsong was the clan leader of the Yu Clan. He was respected by everyone.
But today, Ye Chen had insulted Yu Qingsong in front of everyone in Tian Hua City, saying that they were all cowards. Such mockery instantly aroused everyone's anger.
"Clan leader, I've said it before. This person not only has ulterior motives, but he is also tyrannical. He has just entered Tian Hua City, but he dares to insult us like this. If we let him stay for long, I'm afraid the entire Tian Hua City will be turned upside down," Yu Chen said at this moment.
"Yu Chen is right. Either we chase this person away or we kill him." Behind him, a few elders echoed. They were all singing the same tune, vowing to kill Ye Chen.
"Father …" Yu Wanqing was about to plead for mercy, but Yu Qingsong immediately waved his hand and said coldly to Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, my Yu Clan is indebted to you. But today, your actions are too much. Leave, and I'll spare your life."
"Hmm?" Yu Chen's eyes narrowed slightly. He was a little unhappy with Yu Qingsong's actions.
But not long after, he also let it go.
As long as Ye Chen left Tian Hua City, he would have plenty of opportunities to act. At that time, not only would he be able to avenge himself, but he would also be able to snatch the Wood Emperor Resurrection Elixir from Ye Chen.
One had to know that the Wood Emperor Resurrection Elixir was the most precious elixir in the Yu Clan. Obtaining one was equivalent to having an extra life. This way, one would have more confidence in participating in the clan battles.
"You want to erase my previous contributions with just one sentence? The Yu Clan is indeed very good." Ye Chen sneered. Since this place was so unbearable, he did not want to stay any longer and wanted to leave.
"Little Friend Ye, you have come a long way. If you leave just like this, I will feel very sorry."
At that moment, a faint laughter rolled out. It was as if it had descended from the void and resounded clearly in the minds of the crowd.
The space ahead had started to collapse, and it transformed into a grey vortex. Space was thrown into disorder, and then a figure walked out slowly.
"Ye Chen greets senior." Ye Chen bowed slightly. This figure was none other than the white-robed old man who had appeared that day.
"Greetings, Senior Bai." Seeing this old man, Yu Qingsong did not dare to be negligent and immediately bowed.
The Yu Clan had inherited the Dao of Alchemy and was a clan that had risen in recent years. They did not have a strong foundation and were not good at martial arts.
Therefore, the strongest person in the large race was Yu Qingsong, who was at the Sixth Heaven of the Saint Plane.
In order to increase the strength of the Yu Clan, Yu Qingsong had no choice but to offer generous conditions in order to recruit experts as guests.
This Senior White in front of him was called Bai Hai, and he was a rather famous loose cultivator on the Wood Flower Continent. His cultivation had already reached the Seventh Heaven of the Saint Path, and he was the strongest guest elder of the Yu Clan.
Anyone who saw Bai Hai had to treat him with respect. Even Yu Qingsong was no exception.
"Yesterday, I heard that Senior Bai was in secluded cultivation. Why did you suddenly come out today?" Yu Qingsong asked with concern. He and Bai Hai were friends despite the difference in age, and their relationship was quite close.
"If I did not come out, Tian Hua City would be in chaos!"
When Bai Hai opened his mouth, there was a hint of anger. There was no trace of his usual amiable expression. His eyes glared fiercely at Yu Qingsong.
Yu Qingsong's heart twitched as he raised his head. Just as he was about to explain, Bai Hai walked right past him, not even bothering to look at him as he arrived in front of Ye Chen.
"Today's matter has frightened you. Don't worry, as long as I am here, no one in Tian Hua City will dare to touch you."
Bai Hai smiled at Ye Chen. There was a hint of certainty in his voice, causing the crowd's gaze to stiffen.
Especially Yu Qingsong. His eyes were wide open. He was so shocked that he could not speak.
"Ye Chen appreciates Senior Bai's good intentions. However, Tian Hua City is too cold and indifferent. I think I should leave now to avoid causing trouble." Ye Chen laughed coldly and thanked Bai Hai for his good intentions.
"Senior Bai Hai invited you with good intentions, but you directly rejected him. How dare you." The third elder stood up and pointed at Ye Chen as he scolded.
However, the instant he finished speaking, Bai Hai's body moved. The void shattered, and a shocking giant palm stretched out from the crack in space, directly slamming into the third elder's chest.
Boom!
The third elder's body was like a kite that had been released from its string. He flew out crazily and crashed into a stone pillar. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted on the spot.
"Did I allow you to speak?"
Bai Hai retracted his palm and coldly glared at the fainted third elder. His gaze shifted and he said to Yu Qingsong, "What is Yu Linchuan in charge of?"
Yu Linchuan was naturally the third elder's real name.
"Financial affairs." Yu Qingsong resentfully replied.
"From today onwards, financial affairs will be managed by Wanqing. Give her a chance to hone herself. However, you can rest assured that I will personally assist her. There will not be any mistakes." Bai Hai's words seemed to be negotiating, but in reality, they were filled with a meaning that could not be disobeyed.
Yu Qingsong's face darkened. He could only nod in agreement.
After speaking, Bai Hai turned to look at Ye Chen and smiled faintly, "The Yu Clan is prosperous. It is inevitable that there will be some stubborn people. I hope Little Friend Ye will not be offended. As for the Qi of Life that Little Friend Ye needs, I will prepare it as soon as possible. According to the original agreement, I will give you five hundred strands first. If you can help the Yu Clan become the champion, I will give you another five hundred strands."
When Bai Hai was treating Ye Chen, he did not have the demeanor of a high and mighty expert. Instead, he was extremely easy-going. While Ye Chen was shocked, he also had a good impression of him.
"Since Senior Bai is so kind, then this junior will not refuse."
Ye Chen also replied with a smile. Bai Hai was after all a Time Condensation expert. His status was high. Since he had said so, Ye Chen could not refuse.
Most importantly, Bai Hai was willing to let the Yu Clan take out five hundred strands of Qi of Life. This was something that Ye Chen hoped to see.
"Then it's a deal."
Bai Hai chuckled, his eyebrows slightly raised. "Yesterday, we parted in a hurry. This old man still has some things to discuss with Little Friend Ye. I wonder if you can come in and ask for a cup of tea?"
"Senior Bai is too serious. Please." Ye Chen turned sideways and welcomed Bai Hai in.
As for Mo Yi and the others, they did not continue to wait outside the courtyard. They followed closely behind Ye Chen's footsteps and entered the courtyard together.
Pak!
The door closed with a dull sound. It was not heavy, but it was like a heavy hammer that struck the depths of the hearts of the crowd.
The crowd looked at the tightly shut door and then looked at the unconscious Third Elder. Their hearts heaved a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, they did not act rashly. Otherwise, they would have ended up in such a miserable state.
"No one is allowed to mention what happened today. Otherwise, I will not let you off easily!" Yu Qingsong was also carrying a wave of anger. He glared fiercely at Yu Chen and left with a wave of his hand.
In an instant, the crowd scattered like birds and beasts. They were very clear that with Bai Hai's protection, no one in the entire Tian Hua City could touch Ye Chen, let alone throw him out.
This matter was probably settled like this. There was no need to continue arguing.
After the crowd left, Yu Chen hurriedly walked to Yu Linchuan's side.
