Ye Chen won!
Gasp!
Gasps could be heard in every corner of the square.
Everyone present, the Ye Family's disciples, the Elders, and even Liu Muyun, turned pale with fright and astonishment filled their eyes.
Ye Fei suddenly stood up with an excited expression on his face. He personally announced, "Ye Chen has defeated Ye Qingrou. According to the rules, he can replace Ye Qingrou's original ranking and be ranked second among the outer disciples. He has also obtained the qualification to participate in the ranking competition."
Everyone's eyes were on Ye Chen. They were filled with surprise, admiration, jealousy, and other emotions.
"Rou 'er!"
Ye Jinfeng and Su Lingyu were worried about their daughter. They rushed to Ye Qingrou's side.
"Father, Mother, I can't feel my elemental energy. My elemental sea, my elemental sea!"
Ye Qingrou was in great pain. She clutched her abdomen with both hands.
"Doctor, call a doctor!"
Su Lingyu screamed. How could she not know that her daughter's elemental sea had been broken? She could no longer cultivate and could only become an ordinary person.
"Ye Chen!"
Ye Jinfeng's face was ferocious, and his eyes were filled with killing intent. He stared at Ye Chen, "It's only a competition, and you actually used such a heavy hand. Your methods are so ruthless, it can be said that you are insane. Are you still a disciple of the Ye family?"
As the spiritual materials elder, Ye Jinfeng had abundant resources for cultivation. His cultivation had reached the late stage of the Sixth Heavenly Layer. He exerted all his elemental energy, forming an invisible pressure.
"I'm ruthless?
Where did that come from? "Ye Chen's figure flashed. He was fearless in the face of the endless pressure.
"You injured my daughter, broke her ribs, damaged her flesh, and even tore her elemental sea. Isn't that ruthless?
Isn't that ruthless? "Ye Jinfeng was almost roaring.
Su Lingyu simply burst into tears and knelt down on the ground, "Master, this Ye Chen is so unruly because he has someone backing him up. Today, he dared to cripple my daughter on the stage. Who knows, maybe one day, he will dare to casually beat up an inner disciple. Every day that we let him live will bring disaster to the entire Ye family!"
The two echoed each other, one crying and one angry. Their voices were filled with tears, earning the sympathy of the crowd.
Ye Cangtian seized the opportunity and added, "This Ye Chen's martial arts did not come from the Ye Clan. I suspect that he has colluded with other clans in order to slander our Ye Clan. Master, please put him in prison and investigate."
"Ye Cangtian, shut your mouth!"
Ye Chen finally could not stand this chattering fellow any longer, and angrily roared while glaring.
He was the number one inner disciple, the undisputed number one genius of the Ye Clan. This Ye Chen actually dared to yell at him in front of everyone.
Ye Chen did not give Ye Cangtian any time to speak. His voice was as cold as ice. "Don't think that just because you're an inner disciple, you can order people around. Once someone like you leaves the Ye Clan's protection, you won't even know how you died. I advise you to shut your mouth. Don't fart around and make the Ye Clan's reputation stink."
Rebel!
Absolutely rebel!
Ye Cangtian felt like he was about to explode from anger. For so many years, no one had ever dared to speak to him like this. Even the master of the Ye Clan had to protect him and treat him like a treasure.
Today, he was actually scolded by an outer disciple and even slandered. This kind of humiliation was simply unbearable!
"You're courting death!"
Ye Cangtian suddenly rushed out. His hands opened wide and his elemental energy condensed into a finger that pierced through the air.
"Ye Cangtian, if you want to touch Ye Chen, you'll have to go through me first!"
At this time, Liu Muyun stood in front of Ye Chen. With a casual wave of his hands, he easily dispersed Ye Cangtian's angry attack.
"Muyun, this is our Ye Clan's private matter. Please don't interfere." Ye Cangtian was still afraid of Liu Muyun.
"Ye Chen is my friend. His matters are my matters. Not just you, Liu Muyun. If anyone dares to touch Ye Chen, they will be my enemy."
Liu Muyun's gaze swept across the audience. A cold and arrogant aura was released, intimidating everyone.
"All of you, please stop."
A dignified voice slowly descended in this incomparably awkward moment.
Ye Buqu helplessly walked down from the spectator stand. He gently waved his hands and dispersed Ye Cangtian's aura. At the same time, he also dispersed the hostile crowd.
"Master!
This Ye Chen is vicious and merciless. First, he injured my daughter. Now, he doesn't even put Ye Cangtian in his eyes. In the future, when he grows stronger, I'm afraid he will bring disaster to our Ye Clan. Master, please understand! "
Ye Jinfeng kneeled on the ground, his head banging against the floor.
"Who is the vicious one? You know very well in your heart."
Ye Fei coldly looked at Ye Jinfeng and his wife. He expressionlessly said, "Just now, during the duel, Ye Qingrou took a Burst Energy Pill to stimulate her elemental sea. What's laughable is that Ye Qingrou's Ice Spirit Sword had already damaged her elemental sea. After the Burst Energy Pill, her elemental sea was even more damaged. Even if Ye Chen didn't intervene, within three days, Ye Qingrou's elemental sea would collapse."
"There was such a thing?!"
Everyone's heads moved. Just now, they really did see Ye Qingrou take a pill.
But they never would've thought that it was a Burst Energy Pill.
That was a forbidden pill of the Ye Clan!
"You, you said my daughter took a Burst Energy Pill. What proof do you have?" Ye Jinfeng felt a little guilty because that Burst Energy Pill was personally given to Ye Qingrou by him.
Ye Fei was very disappointed with Ye Jinfeng's performance. He loudly said, "Where are the guards? Immediately go to Ye Jinfeng's house. If you see anything suspicious, search it all!"
"Yes!"
A group of twenty guards rushed out, majestically rushing to Ye Jinfeng's house.
Half an hour later.
The guards all returned with many account books in their hands. There were also some bottles and jars emitting a strong medicinal smell. Among them was the Burst Energy Pill.
Ye Fei read the account books one by one. Secretly changing materials, suppression and isolation, private transactions, twisting black and white, under-the-table manipulation.
As each crime was read out, the faces of all the outer court disciples were filled with anger. They never thought that the two sanctimonious outer court elders would actually do so many evil things.
"Now, what do you have to say?" Ye Fei threw the account books and slapped them on Ye Jinfeng's face.
Bang Bang Bang
The husband and wife knew that their crimes had been exposed. They immediately kowtowed and loudly begged for mercy, "Master, we were blinded by greed for a moment. In consideration of our many years of contributions to the Ye Clan, please be lenient and let us live."
"Letting you go will only cause the Ye Clan disciples to suffer more grievances. Men, drag them away. Cripple their cultivation and expel them from the Ye Clan."
Ye Fei already knew that Ye Jinfeng and his wife were as ruthless as tigers. Today, he seized the opportunity to remove this malignant tumor. Naturally, he would not be merciful.
"Isn't Great Elder being too heartless by doing this?"
Ye Cangtian opened his mouth.
Ye Fei frowned slightly and unhappily said, "Ye Cangtian, do you have any objections to my judgment?"
After what happened just now, Ye Fei's good impression of Ye Cangtian had already fallen to the bottom.
"Although the two elders were in the wrong first, they are still loyal to our Ye Clan. If they were to be punished with the Clan Law as soon as they made a mistake, it would be too chilling. It would be better to remove them from their positions and let them guard the Clan. This would make the best use of them and strengthen our Ye Clan's defensive capabilities."
"I'm afraid that they will bite the hand that feeds them and bite the hand that feeds them." Ye Fei would not relent.
"This matter will be dealt with according to Cang Tian's method."
Ye Cangtian also could not bear to lose two experts of the Sixth Sky of the Martial Path for nothing. He solemnly said, "Recently, Blackjade City has a vague trend of a storm. Now is not the time for internal strife. This matter will end here. Everyone, please do not mention it again."
"Thank you, Master. We will definitely repay the Ye Clan!"
Ye Jinfeng and Su Lingyu were so grateful that tears flowed down their faces. They turned their heads and looked at Ye Chen with eyes full of hatred and malevolence. They wished they could kill him on the spot, gnaw his bones and suck his blood.
Regarding this, Ye Chen's expression did not change at all. He was relaxed.
"Ye Chen, congratulations. You have successfully angered me. From now on, as long as I, Ye Cangtian, am here, you will not be able to live a peaceful life in the inner sect."
Ye Cangtian coldly snorted and turned back to his seat. His eyes flashed as if he was planning something.
Liu Muyun withdrew his yuan qi and said with a deep meaning, "Although this Ye Cangtian is narrow-minded, his talent and strength are not bad. When you enter the inner sect, you must be careful."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Ye Chen faintly smiled and thanked Liu Muyun for his kindness.
