Although Chen Zhengyi is now dead and the struggle between Ye Xingchen and the Chen family has come to an end, the grudges between the two sides still remain.
"Ye Xingchen, you really are capable. You actually managed to find Ye Jinyu, who was rumored to have been dead for over twenty years." Chen Wuliang's face showed a strange expression as he stared coldly at Ye Xingchen.
Although he had been living in seclusion and cultivating in the Xuan Yang Sect for decades, the Chen family in Yanjing was still his own bloodline, and he, as the patriarch, could not simply sit idly by.
"Chen Wuliang, our grudges have been settled. What are you doing here today with your men blocking our way?" Ye Xingchen frowned.
The reason I didn't kill the old man before was because I wasn't strong enough.
He is now at the Saintly Realm and can break through to the Earthly Immortal Realm at any time. The old men in front of him are all experts of the Xuan Yang Sect who have achieved the Great Perfection of Celestial Phenomena, but they are not even in the same league as him.
"When will our feud be settled?" Chen Wuliang sneered. "The most outstanding person in my Chen family has already died at your hands. You came here under the guise of avenging your father."
"But in fact, Ye Jinyu is not dead. If I let you and your son go back, within a year, where will my Chen family have a place in Yanjing?"
"So? You want to leave my son and me here?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"That's right. Only by keeping you and your son here can I get rid of this great worry. Hehe, Ye Xingchen, I can't deny that you are a talented person, but unfortunately, you are going against me."
"So you and your son can stay here for today."
"But is it Old Master Chen?" Ye Jinyu spoke up, struggling to get down from behind Ye Xingchen and stand up straight.
“It is indeed me, hehe, Ye Jinyu. I remember we met once thirty years ago. Back then, you were just a teenager.”
Chen Wuliang nodded slowly: "You were so full of vigor back then, hehe, I never thought that you would become like this when we meet again?"
"Thirty years ago, I was young and impetuous, but Old Master Chen looked like a teenager." Ye Jinyu sighed, "Truly, fortunes change every thirty years."
"Heh, I cultivate the Reverse Life Technique, which is why I've transformed into a young man. Ye Jinyu, you're someone important, but I can't let you leave here alive," Chen Wuliang sneered.
"Ye Jinyu's life or death is irrelevant, but Old Master Chen, decades have passed, and our grudges should have long since been resolved." Ye Jinyu slowly shook his head: "If you insist on killing someone to vent your anger, then kill me, Ye Jinshuyu, it has nothing to do with anyone else."
“You make it sound so easy. The feud between you and my grandson is known to the whole world. Now that my grandson is dead, the Chen family has been thrown into chaos by your son.”
Chen Wuliang said coldly, "If you return to Yanjing alive and well, wouldn't my Chen family be ridiculed by the whole world?"
"Therefore, you must die. Everyone standing here today must die."
"When did the experts of Xuan Yang Sect become so domineering?" Bai Wei glanced coldly at Chen Wuliang: "Bai Wei, a disciple of the Three Saints of Futu Mountain, would like to see what she has to offer."
"You... are from Mount Futu?" Chen Wuliang's gaze froze.
He recognized the look in their eyes; this was someone he couldn't afford to offend. Their Xuan Yang Sect was far weaker than Fu Tu Mountain.
"Genuine, no doubt about it," Bai Wei said calmly.
“I, Qiwu Mountain, also want to see the methods of the Xuan Yang Sect.” Zhang Shihao, standing to the side, was not to be outdone. He raised his head and looked at the old men in front of him.
"Could you be a disciple of Zhang Tianshi of Qiwu Mountain?" Chen Wuliang was startled again. He turned around in disbelief and looked at Zhang Shihao.
Zhang Shih-hao stood with his head held high, displaying an air of superiority.
Moreover, this guy comes from Qiwu Mountain and has an innate aura of immortality about him.
Other things can be faked, but his aura is something that can never be faked.
This scene stunned the group of people in front of them. Futu Mountain and Qiwu Mountain were not places they could afford to offend.
Their Xuan Yang Sect has at most one Saint-level expert.
Even though Chen Wuliang has barely reached the level of a half-saint, they still dare not offend both Qiwu Mountain and Futu Mountain at the same time.
After all, one is a member of the orthodox Taoist sect, and the other is a master of poison in the snowy region. It is no exaggeration to describe them as elusive and unpredictable.
“My master is a scholar from Qiwu Mountain. If you don’t believe me, you can go to Qiwu Mountain to verify it. Moreover, I am very likely to become the new head of Qiwu Mountain and succeed the Celestial Master,” Zhang Shihao said proudly.
Yes, the name of Qiwu Mountain is quite intimidating, and what he said was not empty talk; he is indeed going to take over as the head of Qiwu Mountain in the future.
The group of old men looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
Yes, the future head of Qiwu Mountain, who is also the 100th generation successor of the Celestial Master, will be the one to receive the Celestial Master's ordination.
That's the cultivation of the previous ninety-nine generations of Celestial Masters, all gathered in one person. Although it's only considered to have entered the Saint realm, its strength is at least comparable to that of a terrestrial immortal.
Today's events have become somewhat awkward.
“Since you are disciples of Qiwu Mountain, then… these matters are our private affairs.” Chen Wuliang’s tone was somewhat bitter: “So it’s better for us to resolve this behind closed doors, and it has nothing to do with others.”
"How can it not be related? There are some things I can't solve on my own, so I've come to ask Ye Xingchen to solve them for me," Zhang Shihao sneered.
"Therefore, Ye Xingchen is my honored guest. If you go against him, you are going against Qiwu Mountain."
Chen Wuliang really didn't know what to say. He looked at Ye Xingchen and said in a hoarse voice, "Ye Xingchen, you are someone of importance. Do you expect to rely on Qiwu Mountain and Futu Mountain for your own affairs?"
"You're someone who's in a position of power, are you just going to cower behind others when things get tough?"
"Of course not. My friend was just standing up for me. I can handle my own affairs." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly. "So, Mr. Chen, don't worry. No matter how many people are on my side, I will face you alone."
"That would be best." Chen Wuliang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. He composed himself and looked up at Ye Xingchen: "Then, Ye Xingchen, how do we resolve the grudge between us?"
"Simple, it's either you die or I die, let's settle it like this, how about it?" Ye Xingchen sneered, "Moreover, this time all four elders of the Xuan Yang Sect have come out, it seems they are planning to keep my father and me here."
"Since that's the case, then there's no need for us to show any mercy to each other. I'll destroy your Xuan Yang Sect first, and then destroy your Chen family. What do you say?"
"You think you can take me on?" The men behind Chen Wuliang were furious. They all stepped forward and glared at Ye Xingchen.
