Behind him, there was a group of old men with extraordinary bearing. They were the heads of various families who came to participate in the conference. Seeing this, they were also shocked.
Ever since the previous head of the Ye family and several elders passed away from serious injuries, the Zhu family had dominated the area for tens of thousands of miles. All the smaller clans had submitted to them, and the few that refused to submit were suppressed by the Zhu family through various means. Over the years, not only the Zhu family members, but even the Zhu family's servants had become arrogant and looked down upon the lesser clan heads.
And just today, at the Zhu family's gate, the Zhu family guards were beaten into such a state that even my mother probably couldn't recognize who was who. Isn't this provoking trouble?
Who on earth has such courage?
"Who are you? How dare you commit murder in my Zhu family!" Zhu Xiangchen noticed the strange expressions of the heads of the surrounding families. He felt like he was slapped in the face in public. His face was burning with pain and he was furious.
"Master Zhu, long time no see." Ye Congyun said with a bow.
Although the brutal actions of Mu Hanyan's "friends" were completely beyond his expectations, the Ye family and the Zhu family were sworn enemies, and their actions were equivalent to helping the Ye family vent a little, and he could not stay out of it at this time.
"Ye Congyun, it's you!" Although they hadn't seen each other for many years, Ye Congyun had already become famous decades ago and was hailed as the Ye family's number one cultivation genius in nearly ten thousand years. Therefore, Zhu Xiangchen still had some impression of him. He recognized him after a few closer looks and said with a little surprise.
"We have been absent from the conference for so many years and were afraid that everyone would forget us, so we came this time." Ye Congyun said with some emotion.
"The Ye family, it's someone from the Ye family!" All the family heads around were a little surprised.
As heads of families, their perspectives were far superior to those of their subordinate guards, and it was impossible for them to be completely unfamiliar with the Ye family. However, the Ye family had been in decline for so many years, and everyone assumed its eventual demise was only a matter of time. Therefore, they had not expected the Ye family to actually attend this Dao Discussion Conference, let alone the commotion they would cause upon arrival.
Even though only a few guards were beaten, it was done at this time and place, in front of the heads of various families. What's the difference between this and slapping the Zhu family in the face?
It seems that the Ye family has come with bad intentions this time.
"Ye Congyun, I kindly invited you to participate in my Zhu family's discussion conference, but you beat up my Zhu family members. What does this mean?" Zhu Xiangchen asked angrily.
"Your Zhu family member wasn't well-educated. He was arrogant, disrespectful, and disrespectful to his elders. So, we helped discipline him," Ye Congyun said calmly. His reasoning was exactly the same as He Chengye and the others' initial reason for injuring the Ye family member. It was no wonder. With his injuries healed and his strength elevated to the level of a Spiritual Priest, he naturally felt confident, and this justification was justified.
"Okay, okay, okay. It is an honor for the Ye family to have the greatest genius in ten thousand years to teach future generations of my Zhu family. However, this is the Zhu family, and I don't know if you are qualified to teach future generations of my Zhu family." Zhu Xiangchen sneered, and after saying that, he suddenly flew up and slapped Ye Congyun with one palm.
Mu Hanyan discovered that upon reaching the realm of Soul Priest, his attack methods became increasingly similar to those of the Sword Dao, with only a slight difference between the divine light of the attack and the soaring radiance of the Sword Dao. Ultimately, the divine arts and the Sword Dao ultimately converged.
Seeing Zhu Xiangchen attack so brazenly after a disagreement, the surrounding clan heads were all horrified. The Zhu and Ye clans had always been at loggerheads. When a group of Ye clan masters returned severely injured, it was rumored that it was the Zhu family who had orchestrated this. A few years after leaving the Soul Forging Tower, the Ye clan head and several elders passed away from their injuries. Only Ye Congyun was lucky enough to survive. The Ye clan's continued resilience despite these difficult years was said to be largely due to this individual.
This should be considered a great regret for the Zhu family.
It would be fine if Zhu Xiangchen didn't take action, but since he did, he would never let this regret continue.
The reality was just as they had suspected. Zhu Xiangchen exerted all his might upon striking out. With each strike, a wave of cold air washed over him. Heavy snow fell from the sky, and even the ground beneath his feet was covered in frost. With Zhu Xiangchen at the center, an invisible barrier formed within a ten-foot radius.
Within this barrier, the scorching summer suddenly turned into a freezing winter. Within, everyone felt a bone-chilling chill, even the flow of their spiritual energy slowed to a crawl. If they were to attack, their strength would naturally be greatly reduced.
Only by cultivating the Law of Ice to its extreme could such a barrier be created. Clearly, Zhu Xiangchen had truly murderous intentions.
Looking at Ye Congyun again, everyone shook their heads. After Ye Congyun's injury, he had consulted many renowned doctors, so his injury wasn't a secret. Even if others didn't know, the family heads knew about it. It was said that his foundation had been damaged, making it difficult for him to improve his cultivation. He would never be able to ascend to the Spiritual Realm in his lifetime. No matter how persistent he was, as long as he didn't cross that threshold, he would never be Zhu Xiangchen's opponent.
They even thought with sympathy: Even if your Ye family is in this situation because of the Zhu family's conspiracy, is it meaningful to take it out on a few Zhu family servants? In the end, it will only bring trouble to yourself. Even if your Ye family is forced into a desperate situation and wants to fight the Zhu family to the death, you still need to have the strength to do so.
But soon, they realized they were wrong!
Seeing Zhu Xiangchen's ultimate cultivation of the Frozen Law, Ye Congyun showed no fear. Instead, a powerful fighting spirit flashed in his eyes. He clasped his hands together and effortlessly pushed forward. A giant dragon shadow roared into the sky. The fire and yellow light that flashed from its body revealed that it possessed the power of both the laws of light and earth.
With a loud bang, the ice barrier that Zhu Xiangchen had cast with all his strength was shattered, and the giant dragon phantom released by Ye Congyun also disappeared without a trace. The surroundings returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
"Teng teng teng", Zhu Xiangchen and Ye Congyun were each pushed back a few steps, and they were evenly matched.
All the family heads were dumbfounded. Ye Congyun's injuries were actually healed. Not only did he advance to the realm of Spiritual Priest, but he also comprehended the laws of light and earth at the same time.
Mu Hanyan was also slightly startled, but then a look of relief crossed her face. She had originally been prepared to help Zhu Xiangchen as he attacked Ye Congyun, but who knew Ye Congyun had comprehended two laws simultaneously? Even though he had just ascended to the Divine Soul realm and his cultivation was still a little behind Zhu Xiangchen's, with these two laws, Zhu Xiangchen could do nothing to him.
It seems that Ye Congyun's thirty years of suffering were not in vain, but fortunately he did not slack off in the past few decades and continued to practice diligently, otherwise he would not have achieved what he has today.
