"What's going on?" Ye Xuan turned and shouted.
Ye Zhang walked in and said: "That day when you stripped Chen Song and threw him onto the street, the Chen family found our Ye family. At that time, we knew that you had already recovered."
Afterwards, our two families constantly searched for you in Lianyun City. On the third day after the incident, we found out where you lived and immediately sent people over, but the Chen family's people arrived first.
"In the battle between our two families, Liu'er was accidentally slapped by the Chen family members and fainted on the spot. She has not awoken until now, and her aura is becoming weaker and weaker. I estimate that in three days, Liu'er will probably …"
After hearing Ye Zhang's words, Ye Xuan's heart turned cold.
"Who did it?" Ye Xuan asked coldly.
"Chen Song!" Ye Zhang replied.
This name was naturally familiar to Ye Xuan.
"Damn you Chen Song, if I, Ye Xuan do not kill you, I swear I will not be a human!" Ye Xuan swore inwardly. At this time, he was already on the verge of becoming angry, but the most important thing right now was to understand Liu'er's situation.
"Liu'er has been in a coma for a long time. I've invited the best doctor from Lian Yun City over and used quite a few internal injuries, but none of them worked." Ye Zhang added.
"How could this be?"
Ye Xuan did not understand, with just one palm, how could he possibly beat someone to such a state, he had never heard of this before.
However, Ye Xuan suddenly thought that the Devouring System could exchange for a few Dan and such, maybe he could give it a try.
"All of you, get out!" Ye Xuan said in a cold voice.
Normally, if the Four Great Clan Elders heard Ye Xuan's tone, they would definitely fly into a rage and take responsibility for Ye Xuan.
But now, they had obediently retreated, and even Xue Qingqing, who hadn't spoken a single word since entering the sect, did the same.
They left the house and closed the door, leaving Ye Xuan alone inside.
Ye Xuan was still carrying a bag on his body. He quickly took it off, and then, he swallowed the 500 year old Blood Ginseng along with Chen Feng's other things.
After being devoured, the spiritual energy within Ye Xuan's body surged, and he instantly broke through to the peak of the fifth stage of the Martial Dao.
But the current Ye Xuan was not happy at all, and anxiously used the points he just obtained to exchange for a bottle of something called the Hundred Flowers Dew.
In the Lianyun City, most healing medicines were priced at less than 100,000 silver taels, but this bottle of Hundred Flowers Dew had cost a bit of Devouring Points. This showed that the effect was extraordinary.
Ye Xuan helped Liu'er up, then fed the Hundred Flowers Dew to Liu'er and used his spirit energy to help her refine it.
"The system says that as long as it isn't too serious of an injury, the Hundred Flowers Dew can treat it. That Chen Song is only at the middle stage of the fourth stage of the Martial Dao, so even if the spirit energy invades Liu'er's body, the Hundred Flowers Dew should be able to easily dispel it."
Ye Xuan thought in his heart.
He waited for a while, and sure enough, Liu'er's breathing stabilized, and her breathing returned to normal.
"Phew, it should be done." Ye Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
Even though he had used up all the Swallowing Points he had, it was still worth a hundred Swallowing Points to save Liu'er.
But having said that, regardless of whether or not Liu'er's matter had anything to do with Chen Song, Chen Song had to die!
After that, Ye Xuan left the house, had Ye Zhang send the experts to guard there, and casually used a Dan he had acquired from training in the Lianyun Eighteen Mountains to explain it to them.
Everyone returned to the lobby.
"Ye Xuan, where have you been these past few days?" After returning to the lobby, Ye Zhang couldn't help but ask.
"Cloud Eighteen Mountain Range!" Ye Xuan slowly replied in his heart.
When Ye Xuan was in the house earlier, Ye Zhang had also recognized Xue Qingqing's presence, so he had heard quite a few things from her.
However, Ye Zhang still asked in disbelief, "Then your current strength …"
Ye Xuan's cold face turned, and he said: "Middle stage of the fifth stage of the Martial Dao!"
What?
This time, the expressions of everyone present changed. After a careful examination, they discovered that it was actually the middle of the fifth stage of the Martial Dao!
Chapter 20 - I want Chen Song dead!
"Are you serious?"
the Ye Family Great Elder asked in surprise.
"That's right, I am indeed in the middle of the fifth stage of the Martial Dao, Qingqing can testify!" Ye Xuan nodded solemnly. Actually, he was already at the peak of the fifth stage of Martial Dao, but he was currently extremely cautious, so it was best for him to keep a low profile.
"Un, I can testify that he is indeed in the middle of the fifth stage of the Martial Dao, and furthermore, he …" Before the adjacent Xue Qingqing could finish, she was interrupted by Ye Xuan with a wave of his hand.
Ye Zhang and the four clan elders did not mind, they were only concerned about Ye Xuan's cultivation level.
"Haha, the heavens have truly blessed my Ye Family. Fifteen years old, middle stage of the fifth stage of the Martial Dao. In the future, I might even be able to reach the eighth or even ninth stage of the Martial Dao!" The Ye Family's Second Presbyter of Family, who was also the Second Elder s, laughed heartily.
"Wait!"
Before anyone else could speak, Ye Xuan growled, and everyone's attention was on him.
"I don't think I said anything about going back to the Ye Family, right?" Ye Xuan squinted his eyes and glanced at Ye Zhang and the other three.
"You …" The two Elder's laughter suddenly stopped as they pointed at Ye Xuan.
"Hmph, I remember your expressions clearly. Now that I have recovered, do you think I can return to the Ye family so easily?" Ye Xuan said in the same ice-cold tone as before.
Ye Xuan was also a person with a temper, even if it was his own family, he could not compromise.
None of you are fools, they could all hear the hidden meaning behind Ye Xuan's words.
Immediately, Ye Zhang asked: "Then, how do you plan to get back to the Ye Clan?"
He could hear that there was a condition for Ye Xuan to return.
"Yes, we can agree to any conditions." Immediately, the clan elders responded.
"Simple."
Ye Xuan immediately extended his hand and said: "Five million silver!"
Hiss!
As his voice fell, everyone in the audience sucked in a breath of cold air.
Five million silver taels was truly an exorbitant sum!
"Ye Xuan, you aren't joking right?" Ye Zhang asked in disbelief.
Five million silver was equivalent to two months' worth of the Ye family's income.
"Uncle, do you think I'm joking? Or do you think my aptitude is not worth five million silver taels? " Ye Xuan looked at the five of them.
"This …"
Ye Zhang and the four elders glanced at each other.
A fifteen year old in the middle of the fifth stage of the Martial Dao. This was definitely the first time it had appeared in Lian Yun City, and even in the vast Southern Cyanwood Country, it was unlikely to be much.
Currently, the Ye Family's most powerful Strongman was at the seventh stage of the Martial Dao, and with Ye Xuan's aptitude, he would be able to reach the eighth or even ninth stage of the Martial Dao in the future. At that time, the Lianyun City would be under the Ye Family's rule.
"Alright, five million silver!" Ye Zhang immediately nodded in agreement.
But in the next moment, Ye Xuan's words stunned him yet again.
"Five million is one point, I have another condition."
Ye Xuan continued.
&
nbsp; "What condition?" Ye Zhang asked.
"I want Chen Song dead!"
When the words spread in the Ye Family's lobby, the entire lobby fell silent.
Chen Song was a direct descendant of the Chen family, and he was not an ordinary person either. He was the nephew of the Chen family's patriarch, if he died, the Ye family and Chen family would directly start fighting.
"This …" Ye Zhang hesitated again.
The Four Great Elder s also looked at each other.
"Ye Xuan, you're being too ruthless." Xue Qingqing asked in a low voice.
"Ruthless?"
Ye Xuan's eyes flashed with killing intent, and said: "Attacking against Liu'er, is a capital offense!"
Xue Qingqing no longer spoke. All of a sudden, she felt that the young man beside her had a unique domineering aura.
"Ye Xuan, Chen Song's identity is extraordinary, the last commotion you made has already caused the Ye Family to lose a few experts. If we kill Chen Song again, then we really won't rest until we die. " Ye Zhang frowned.
"Uncle, what if I tell you that I've already killed Chen Feng, the head of the Chen family's four prodigies, in the Lianyun Eighteen Mountains?" Ye Xuan suddenly said.
Before he could finish his sentence, the four clan elders and Ye Zhang all stood up, exclaiming in unison, "What?!"
Now, the five of them were no longer calm, Ye Xuan had actually already killed Chen Feng, if this matter were to spread to the ears of the Chen family, it would be even more explosive than killing Chen Song.
"Ye Xuan, are you sure? Are you kidding? " First Presbyter of Family asked in disbelief.
"Clan Elder, do you really think that I, who was at the middle of the fifth stage of the Martial Dao, would be able to kill Chen Feng, who was piled up with a bunch of Dan?" Ye Xuan focused his gaze.
This question caused the four elders and Ye Zhang to be stunned.
Their thoughts were still stuck at the time when Ye Xuan had broken through to the early fourth stage of the Martial Dao, but right now, Ye Xuan was already at the middle of the fifth stage.
"I can testify, Ye Xuan killed Chen Feng alone right in front of me." The nearby Xue Qingqing suddenly said.
Ye Zhang also felt the pressure and asked again: "Ye Xuan, who else knows about this matter?"
"Just Qing Qing and me." Ye Xuan replied honestly.
"That's good. This matter must not be spread out. Otherwise, my Ye family and the Chen family will not rest until we are dead!" Ye Zhang anxiously reminded, and then said: "As for Chen Song, we still have to discuss him."
Although Chen Feng's death was a little more explosive, no one knew that Chen Feng had died in the wilderness. But if Chen Song died now, then everyone would suspect the Ye Family. At that time, the two families would have to start a huge battle.
Ye Zhang and the four elders walked to the back of the main hall to discuss with each other.
Ye Xuan also pondered for a moment, and still shouted: "Uncle, four clan elders, I give up on this condition."
When the five people behind the lobby heard this, they hurriedly walked back.
"That's good, that's good." Ye Zhang heaved a sigh of relief.
For Ye Xuan alone, he would have to consider this matter carefully if he wanted the Ye Family and the Chen Family to have a war.
At this time, Ye Xuan suddenly added: "I can remove the condition of Chen Song's death, but I want to take an additional two million silver!"
"Oh my god, what an extravagant demand."
The five of them thought at the same time.
However, if he were to compare Chen Song's death with the two million silver, the latter would naturally accept it.
It was only two million silver, not lost. He was giving it to Ye Xuan anyway, which was equivalent to the amount of money his family had allocated to him in advance.
"Alright, for a total of seven million silver." Ye Zhang was straightforward.
7 million silver was the equivalent of 3 months of the Ye family's income, and the cost of every month was probably less than 1/10 of the entire Ye family's income.
Ye Xuan agreed to return to the Ye Family, but extorted seven million silver, which was not bad. However, Ye Xuan still had a plan in his mind.
"Uncle, a few days ago, I went to the Lianyun Eighteen Mountains to gain experience. I stumbled upon two Level 5 martial arts manuals …"
As Ye Xuan said that, he suddenly took out the two books that he had exchanged for in the Devouring System, which he had copied down on his way back.
Chapter 21 - Lion's Mouth Open
"What? Two rank 5 martial arts?"
Ye Zhang and the four elders stood up.
Each of the Level 5 Martial Arts were extremely valuable. If they were rare Martial Arts, then the price would be even higher.
The Ye Family was one of the Four Large Families s of Lian Yun City, but they only had a few seventh stage Martial Dao s. In other words, they were the Four Great Clan Elders in front of Ye Xuan.
Originally, there was one more person who was Ye Xuan's grandfather, Ye Zhang's father. However, he had suffered too many injuries and thus had died many years ago.
Although Ye Zhang was the noble head of the Ye Family, his strength had not reached the seventh stage of the Martial Dao, but the sixth stage.
For example, Warrior at the seventh stage of the Martial Dao, they would usually learn level six martial arts, because it was easier to learn, and easier to master. If one practiced a martial art of the same grade, then they would need a lot of time to practice it. The result might not be good, unless it was a genius with exceptional talent.
The Ye Family's core strength was a sixth stage Warrior, so a fifth stage martial art was just suitable for them.
Ye Zhang took the two books that Ye Xuan had given him and muttered: "Gale Sword Technique, Rushing Steps. These two martial arts have never appeared in my Lianyun City."
"Haha, not bad, not bad. 7 million is indeed worth it. This will greatly increase the overall strength of our Ye family." Second Presbyter of Family laughed as he stroked his beard.
However, the next moment, his laughter abruptly stopped.
"I'm sorry, but I don't want to hand over these two martial arts to the clan. I want to sell them to the clan for a price of two million silver!" Ye Xuan slowly said.
He did not even have the chance to hand over the martial arts that he was fortunate enough to obtain!
If you want it, then buy it with money!
He became so snobbish because he experienced the abandonment that the Ye Family taught him.
"You little bastard, are you addicted to extortion?" Second Presbyter of Family immediately scolded.
"Second Elder, you are wrong, these two sets of martial arts have never appeared in even Cloud City. If I were to sell it at the auction house, the other families would definitely spend more than two million to buy it, but I am selling it to the family because my surname is Ye. "Moreover, if martial arts were to be spread out, the Ye Family could easily make a copy and sell it to the Lin Family, it would definitely be able to recoup quite a bit of the cost." Ye Xuan slowly said.
In any case, he estimated that the Ye Family would spend money to buy it.
"However, these two martial arts have not been verified. I wonder if it's true." Ye Zhang asked doubtfully.
"I've already learned it, uncle, just you watch!"
As soon as Ye Xuan finished speaking, his figure flashed in an instant, and then he dashed away in the great hall.
"Such a fast speed, it seems like he can almost catch up to me!" Ye Zhang's eyes widened. He was at the sixth stage of the Martial Dao, and at the same time, he also knew a fifth grade movement technique martial art. However, he felt that this movement martial art, called the Rushing Steps, was much better than the one in his clan.
"That's Rushing Steps, now it's the Gale Sword Technique."
Ye Xuan shouted and used the two moves of the Gale Sword Technique, Gale Slash and Gale Triple Slash.
"Good, good. Two million silver taels are definitely not a loss!" The First Presbyter of Family shouted.
Right now, he was very sure that Ye Xuan's aptitude exceeded everyone in the Ye Family, and even in the entire Yun City, no one could compare to him.
Spending nine million to nurture a super genius, that was definitely worth it!
"Alright, Ye Xuan, I will buy these two sets of martial arts from the Ye Clan for a total of 9 million silver. In a while, you can go to the treasury to pick out items that are worth 9 million silver." Ye Zhang said in satisfaction.
If he sold these two grade five martial arts to the Lin Family, he would definitely be able to take back the original.
"Deal!"
… ….
Immediately after, Ye Zhang ordered a person to notify the treasury, and at the same time, ordered Ye Xuan to have the right to receive three stalks of Blood Ginseng every month. Three Blood Ginseng would cost three hundred thousand silver taels per month. It seemed that the Ye Clan had invested a lot.
Other than the businesses in Lianyun City, the Ye Family had a hunting team that hunted Demon Beast all year round, so they had quite a few Treasures.
Ye Xuan reckoned that this nine million silver would allow him to break through to the sixth stage of the Martial Dao. This was not the main point. The main point was that if one could get 9 points of Devour, they would be able to obtain many good items.
After leaving the Ye Family's great hall, Ye Xuan brought Xue Qingqing back to his house.
"Qing Qing, you can stay next door to Liu'er. After a while, we'll head to the Skysword Sect together." Ye Xuan said to his follower Xue Qingqing.
Her father, Xue Hai, was probably dying of anxiety, so Ye Xuan had sent someone to go inform Xue Hai quickly just now, so he did not need to worry.
"Sure, but Liu'er still hasn't woken up yet …" Xue Qingqing also had a face full of worry. Although she hadn't been to Lianyun City for four years, when she first came, she had a good time with Liu'er.
"Liu'er will be fine." Ye Xuan said this as he used the Hundred Flowers Dew to cure Liu'er. He reckoned that he would wake up in a while.
