They used sorcery to try and subdue Ye Xingchen on the spot.
After all, everyone wants to show off in front of their grandfather, and such opportunities are rare, so they have to seize them.
Several ropes formed from black energy trapped Ye Xingchen, binding his hands and arms. With a roar, they were about to pull the demonic ropes in their hands to knock Ye Xingchen to the ground.
However, Ye Xingchen shook his arms and unleashed his true energy forward. With a loud bang, several streams of black energy rebounded back, and screams and wails immediately rang out at the scene.
Bang bang bang, a group of people fell to the ground one after another, their faces covered in black energy, clearly they had been backfired by the demonic energy they themselves had emitted.
Everyone was startled and backed away, looking at Ye Xingchen as if they had seen a ghost.
"Who exactly are you?" Liu Zhen stared coldly at Ye Xingchen, his right hand already gripping a pipe, his magical artifact. He was looking for the right opportunity, and as soon as it came, he would subdue Ye Xingchen on the spot.
He still doesn't know Ye Xingchen's background, so he doesn't dare to make a move easily.
"I already introduced myself. My name is Ye Xingchen." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly and said, "What, are you deaf or blind? Didn't you hear a thing I said?"
"He's a master; our Liu family underestimated him before." Liu Zhenhe sneered, raising his head and giving Ye Xingchen a cold glance: "Mr. Ye, you've come to Jiyang, surely you have important business to attend to?"
"There are indeed some important matters that need to be dealt with." Ye Xingchen nodded slightly. "Originally, these matters had nothing to do with your Liu family, but unfortunately, we ran into them."
"Hehe, since what Mr. Ye wants to do has nothing to do with our Liu family, then let's keep to ourselves and not interfere with each other. What do you think?" Liu Zhenhe chuckled.
“It’s not impossible for us to keep to ourselves, but she, Liu Qingmei, is my woman from now on. Neither the Liu family nor the deity you worship are allowed to cause her any trouble.”
Ye Xingchen pointed at Liu Qingmei: "If we can reach an agreement, we can keep to ourselves and live in peace. If we can't reach an agreement, then I'm sorry, but I can replace the Liu family at any time."
"What did you say? Arrogant..." The entire Liu family was furious, especially some of the younger, hot-blooded ones, who all stepped forward and glared angrily at Ye Xingchen.
Honestly, the Liu family had never been treated with such contempt before.
After all, they had been entrenched in Jiyang City, a place with a complex situation, for so many years that no one dared to provoke the Liu family.
Now that Ye Xingchen has barged into their Liu family and is slapping them in the face, if they don't get their revenge, how will their Liu family face anyone in Jiyang City in the future?
“Repeating things too much gets meaningless.” Ye Xingchen sighed, then smiled slightly, raised his head and said, “Alright, I won’t say any more nonsense. Now I’m taking Liu Qingmei away. Once she’s out of this door, she has nothing to do with your Liu family.”
"You can't take her away today." Liu Zhenhe was furious. He stretched out his right hand, and the pipe in his hand suddenly grew longer and larger. At the same time, demonic energy swirled around the pipe, and the surrounding temperature plummeted.
As the head of the Liu clan, his cultivation of the Three Green Demon Techniques had reached an unbelievable level.
He would not allow the Liu family's dignity to be trampled on, and he would not allow Liu Qingmei to be taken away in front of him.
But now, the situation has forced him to take action.
The kid in front of me seems to be quite strong.
"I'll take him away, and your Liu family can continue as before. That's the first option." Ye Xingchen smiled, turned his head, and stared at the old man: "The other option is that I deal with everyone in your Liu family, including Liu Sanqing, and then let Qingmei take over as the head of the Liu clan."
Silence. The scene was almost deathly silent.
After a long silence, Liu Zhenhe finally raised his head in fury and roared in a suppressed voice, "Are you serious? Are you out of your mind?"
"Hehe, I'm not crazy. I take responsibility for every word I say." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly and said, "Today is supposed to be your family banquet, and I didn't want to ruin it. But if you insist on doing things your own way, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Hehe, kid, I admit I have some tricks up my sleeve, but your tricks are only good enough to make a name for yourself among the younger generation."
Liu Zhenhe sneered and raised his pipe: "I'll give you a chance. Crawl out on your knees, and from now on, leave Jiyang and never set foot in our Jiyang City again, and I'll spare your life."
"If you can't do it, then I'll send you to see Third Master right now."
He drew several lines in the air with his pipe, and three black wisps rose out of thin air, emanating a murderous intent that instantly swept towards Ye Xingchen.
Liu Zhenhe is the head of the Liu family and the most powerful among those who cultivate demonic arts. His innate energy has been transformed into demonic energy, which is constantly devouring the vital energy around Ye Xingchen.
With a hiss, three streams of black energy transformed into three spirit snakes, swooping towards Ye Xingchen. The black aura instantly enveloped Ye Xingchen, and black smoke billowed up, causing everyone to retreat.
"Heh, this kid's doomed this time. He's just pretending. Let's see how long he can keep up the act."
"He dared to cause trouble at our Liu family's residence; he must have already prepared himself for certain death."
"Hmph, this kind of person deserves to be dismembered."
The members of the Liu clan stared at Ye Xingchen, who had turned into a cloud of black smoke, and sneered. They believed that Ye Xingchen was doomed.
However, the black smoke slowly dissipated, and Ye Xingchen stood there unharmed, seemingly unaffected at all.
"You, how are you still alive? How is this possible?" Liu Zhenhe was taken aback. He took a few steps back, gripping his pipe tightly, completely stunned.
The demonic power he just unleashed was the strongest demonic power, capable of instantly freezing a person into an icicle and then rapidly consuming all their essence, energy, and spirit.
Ye Xingchen's best outcome would have been to become a skeleton, but what he didn't expect was that when his demonic power dissipated, Ye Xingchen actually stood there unharmed.
"With just a little bit of demonic power, it would probably be a bit difficult for you to deal with me." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly and said, "Patriarch Liu, I'm giving you a lot of face by addressing you like that."
"You touched me just now, and I didn't fight back because of Liu Qingmei. If you regret it now and back down, it's not too late."
"Don't even think about it! What do you take our Liu family for? We Liu family members will not let you do as you please!" Liu Zhenhe was furious. He swung his right hand and smashed his pipe against Ye Xingchen's head.
