Sword God Ye Kuang's sudden appearance made Xu Qing and the others frown.
?
Sword God Ye Kuang was also from the Dark Sea and had a great reputation.
His strength had reached the peak of the Void God Realm. Although he was not as strong as Xu Qing who had stepped into the Profound God Realm, he was much stronger than the Supreme Dao experts around.
Facing such an expert, no one, including Xu Qing, dared to be careless.
Xu Qing's wrinkled face became gloomy as he stared at Ye Kuang and asked, "What do you mean, Brother Ye Kuang?"
Ye Kuang was still arrogant as he laughed and said, "Patriarch Xu Qing, you just said that because Ye Chen violated the rules of the Dark Sea Family Alliance, you wanted to teach Ye Chen a lesson. However, this doesn't seem to make sense."
Ye Kuang glanced around and said loudly, "Since everyone is here, I would like to ask, when did Ye Chen establish the family in the Dark Sea?"
"Ye Kuang, aren't you asking a question you already know the answer to? Everyone knows that Ye Chen is establishing his family today. Otherwise, how could there be so many people gathered in this godforsaken Divine Spring Ocean?" Below, Illusion Phoenix God and Ao Ming both laughed loudly and responded to Ye Kuang.
The two of them had obviously guessed Ye Kuang's intention, so the smiles on their faces were very obvious.
Xu Qing and the others on the side suddenly changed their expressions at this moment. They had a very bad feeling in their hearts.
After getting the response from Illusion Phoenix God and Ao Ming, Ye Kuang looked at Xu Qing again and said, "Patriarch Xu Qing, I would like to ask you, when was Han Dong and the others killed?"
"It was twenty-three days ago." Although he already understood Ye Kuang's intention, Xu Qing still nodded slowly.
Ye Kuang stretched out a few fingers as if he was counting the time and said, "This is strange. According to the rules, Ye Chen established the family today, which means that from today onwards, Ye Chen officially joined the Dark Sea Family Alliance."
"If that's the case, then twenty-three days ago, Ye Chen could only be considered a loose cultivator. What does the rules of the aristocratic family alliance have to do with him?"
"Ye Kuang, stop your nonsense. Ye Chen announced the establishment of a family three months ago. This means that three months ago, Ye Chen already belonged to the Darksea Family Alliance. Therefore, what you're saying now is just twisting words and forcing logic." He Chen's face was ashen as he stepped out and refuted Ye Kuang.
"What Patriarch He said makes sense."
Ye Kuang's face was full of mockery. He glanced at He Chen and said, "Today, I, Ye Kuang, officially announce that in thirty thousand years, I will establish a family in the Dark Sea. According to Family Head He Chen's thoughts, in these thirty thousand years, I will also be a member of the Dark Sea Family Alliance."
Whoosh!
Ye Kuang's words caused the crowd to burst into laughter.
The experts who originally felt that Xu Qing's words were very reasonable also suddenly felt that Xu Qing's words were indeed untenable.
Xu Qing's eyes were cold as he glanced at the people who were laughing. The surrounding people suddenly felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave. Their bodies were cold and they could no longer laugh.
"This old man has heard of the name of Sword God Ye Kuang. Now that I've met you today, you really live up to your name. What you said does make sense. Twenty days ago, Ye Chen was not a member of the aristocratic family alliance. Therefore, I can't use the rules of the alliance against him."
Xu Qing nodded and changed the topic, saying, "However, the matter of Ye Chen killing Han Dong and the other family heads needs to be investigated separately."
Looking at Ye Chen, Xu Qing said, "Patriarch Ye Chen, you just said that Han Dong and the other family heads wanted to secretly deal with you, so you took action and killed them. However, as far as I know, Han Dong and the other family heads were only gathered together to discuss some mundane matters of their families. It was you who brazenly attacked them and caused their tragic deaths. Patriarch Ye Chen, what else do you have to say about this?"
"Yes, at that time, we were indeed only discussing some trivial matters of the aristocratic family. It was Ye Chen who attacked us first, so we had no choice but to fight back. Now, Ye Chen is making a false countercharge. This man is simply vicious." Ming Ran, the head of the Ming family, shouted as he walked out.
"Xu Qing, I originally wanted to reason with you and let you take the initiative to withdraw. Now it seems that I still underestimated the extent of your shamelessness." Ye Kuang glanced at Ming Ran and deliberately put on a helpless look, constantly sighing.
This kind of rude attitude made Xu Qing furious. He stared fiercely at Ye Kuang and said, "Ye Kuang, we just don't want to complicate matters. Don't think that we can't do anything to you."
"If we fight with Ye Kuang, it will certainly affect our plan to suppress Ye Chen today!"
Xu Qing's eyes constantly swept over Ye Chen and Ye Kuang. Finally, his eyes focused on Ye Kuang and said, "Ye Kuang, today is an internal matter of the aristocratic family alliance. You slandered us for no reason. Another day, I will personally pay a visit to see Sword God's means."
Xu Qing said this to warn Ye Kuang not to interfere in today's matter. After all, today's matter was an internal matter of the Darksea Aristocratic Family Alliance.
On the other hand, he was threatening Ye Kuang, wanting to make Ye Kuang aware of the difficulties and retreat.
Looking at Xu Qing and the others who had completely revealed their true colors, Ye Chen frowned and said to Ye Kuang in a low voice, "Senior, it's better that you don't interfere in this matter. I will not resent you because of this."
Today, with Xu Qing present, any Empty God Realm expert would feel unconfident when facing Xu Qing.
Ye Chen was already very satisfied that Ye Kuang was willing to stand up for Ye Chen. Of course, he would not resent anyone because of this.
"Kid, you are mocking me."
Hearing Ye Chen's words, Ye Kuang raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "A few days ago, I received your favor and learned several Divine Sword Skills that I have always dreamed of. Today's matter, consider it as returning the favor. I, Ye Kuang, do not like to owe people favors."
Ye Kuang jumped up and said with a heroic face, "Since everyone is present today, let everyone be witnesses. From today onwards, I, Ye Kuang, am a member of the Darksea Ye Family. Speaking of which, Ye Chen and I have the same surname, Ye. It seems that I am worthy of joining the Darksea Ye Family."
Sword God Ye Kuang, unexpectedly chose to join the aristocratic family established by Ye Chen at this time.
The surrounding people were all stunned by Ye Kuang's decision.
Ye Kuang's decision at this time showed that he wanted to go against Xu Qing and the others. How could Xu Qing and the others give up just because of this?
It should be known that on Xu Qing's side, in addition to Xu Qing, a Mysterious God expert, there were a total of thirteen Supreme Dao experts.
On Ye Chen's side, except for Ye Chen and Sword God Ye Kuang, there seemed to be no other helpers.
Those Supreme Dao experts who stood with Ye Chen before just came to congratulate Ye Chen. Now that Ye Chen and Xu Qing were going against each other, they could not wait to avoid it. Why would they choose to take the initiative to provoke trouble?
"Ye Chen, senior Xu Qing has also done us a great favor. We really can't stand on the opposite side of him, so we can only choose not to help either side. Sorry." Yang Wen and Yang Wu looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They whispered to Ye Chen in a low voice.
At this time, even if they were unwilling, they could only make a choice. They could either join either Ye Chen or Xu Qing, or not help either side like Yang Wen and Yang Wu.
