Chapter 561: Chapter 398: My Lord, I Wish to Witness the Day You Slay a Saint with My Own Eyes! (2)
Ye Shan had heard that during Huangfu Tian’s ten years in Huaxia, he visited the five major war zones of Huaxia, walked through many martial arts families, and also traveled to the Western countries, studying all the Three Flowers Techniques in the world.
It was even rumored that Huangfu Tian wanted to cultivate the strongest Three Flowers at the top of the Ten Great Three Flowers list, the Cyan Lotus Martial Seed.
Reportedly, he did not succeed, and ultimately, the Ye Family gave their secret, the Formless Three Flowers, to Huangfu Tian, after which there were rumors Huangfu Tian cultivated the Formless Three Flowers.
Because Huangfu Tian eventually took his first step on the Path of the Grandmaster in the Ye Family.
There are also rumors that Huangfu Tian eventually created his own Three Flowers Technique capable of ranking in the top ten.
But in Ye Shan’s view, the former seems more likely. The current Ten Great Three Flowers are the result of millennia of accumulation, and the idea of creating a new one single-handedly is unimaginable to Ye Shan.
With such a fantastical thought in mind, Ye Shan almost drooled. Perhaps this was the closest moment in his life to such a legendary demon.
"Qi and blood as hot as a roaring furnace, endlessly enduring, is this the power of a Grandmaster? It’s indeed worlds apart from before!"
Ye Shan, with a look of delight, began to examine the changes within his body until he tried to initiate the Rule of Fire, causing him to halt in his tracks, his face full of disbelief.
"My Rule of Fire has also broken through; is this due to advancing to a Martial Arts Grandmaster?"
Ye Shan hesitated a bit but soon shook his head resolutely.
"Advancing to a Martial Arts Grandmaster surely enhances the Power of Rules, but not to this extent. It was the Flame Gate that elevated my Rule of Fire from ten percent to nearly twenty percent!"
Nearly doubling the Power of Rules was enough to make Ye Shan extremely joyous, "Could that great man be a contemporary Martial Saint?"
"Who amongst the seven revered Martial Saints of Huaxia holds the Rule of Fire... is it the one from the Imperial Capital’s National Martial Arts Association?"
After standing there checking for a moment, Ye Shan continued on his journey.
"Almost there, I remember it’s just ahead!"
In the distant snow-capped mountains, the silhouette of a grand city emerged, coiling like a giant dragon on the earth, endless to the eye, majestic and grand.
As a top-tier martial arts family, the Ye Family resides south of the Imperial Capital. It’s said that a fifth of the Imperial Capital is Ye Family’s territory; though not officially so large, in reality, it’s comparable, if not larger.
Ye Clan Territory is a grand city built by the Ye Family in the Myriad Leaves Mountain Range, commonly referred to as Ye City by the people of the Imperial Capital.
"What a grand city, being able to build a city in the Imperial Capital truly doesn’t shame the main lineage of the Ye Family!"
After revealing his identity, Ye Shan quickly entered Ye City and headed towards the depths of the clan territory.
From afar, Ye Shan caught sight of the Min Province lineage’s silhouette, but the situation seemed a bit off, as an overbearing voice quickly reached his ears.
"Let me tell you, I’m called Ye Ling. If you of the branch lineage are displeased with my ways, then step up now, and we peers shall have a good exchange."
A figure stood arrogantly on the field, with a mocking expression.
"I’ll ask once again, do you dare from your lineage?"
In an instant, Ye Shan clenched his fists. Although he wasn’t sure what exactly happened, it was clear that his lineage was being bullied by the so-called main lineage.
Immediately, Ye Shan infused his innate qi and blood, his voice like a thunderclap.
"What is there not to dare!"
Thinking of the humiliation his family suffered, Ye Shan, now releasing the Grandmaster’s Force Field of his body, walked into the crowd angrily, yet he knew not to lose propriety or give others an excuse.
He bowed to the white-haired elder in the crowd.
"Forgive me, Fifth Grandfather, for Ye Shan arrived late."
Standing tall, Ye Shan turned around and coldly looked at Ye Ling on the field. He saw the shock and panic on Ye Ling’s face, "Fifth Grandfather, I, Ye Shan, request to fight... representing the Min Province lineage!"
"Now, I ask you, Ye Ling, do you dare to accept the challenge?"
In a thunderous voice, the crowd was stunned. Who would have thought that one moment the Min Province was under attack by the main family, and the next, with Ye Shan’s arrival, the situation completely reversed.
In an instant.
The people of the Min Province lineage were stunned. At this moment, Ye Shan didn’t conceal his Grandmaster’s Force Field. Ye Shan has advanced to Grandmaster!
"Shan’er has actually become a Grandmaster!"
Ye Yun, as Ye Shan’s father, was overjoyed, and even those usually cold-eyed in the Min Province branch were incredibly excited.
Moreover, many present felt remorse and guilt, especially those of the same generation as Ye Shan, who often bullied Ye Shan daily.
But now Ye Shan had risen with such strength, leaving them far behind, and after today, they likely would never have the chance to compete with Ye Shan again.
As for those from other Ye Family branches outside the Min Province, they were shocked and couldn’t help but envy; why didn’t their branch have such a demon?
As for Ye Ling, his face turned red like a pig’s liver. Now being counter-questioned. Would he, Ye Ling, dare to accept the challenge?
Ye Ling naturally did not dare. Although he considered himself capable of contending against a Grandmaster, if he accepted the challenge today and lost face in front of these branch members, he would be ridiculed by his peers and never lift his head among the main line.
For a moment, Ye Ling’s face turned ashen, unable to utter a single word.
At last, a tall woman in a plain white dress approached. Her features were not outstanding, but her demeanor exuded a scholarly charm, attractively.
"I am Ye Ruyun. The task of escorting should have been mine; it’s my failure. Xiao Ling, who came temporarily, has some grievances in his heart. Xiao Ling has always been straightforward and hot-tempered. Xiao Ling, quickly apologize to the Min Province lineage."
With someone to smooth things over, Ye Ling unwillingly bent his body towards the Min Province lineage, and at this moment, Ye Ruyun placed a hand on Ye Ling’s neck, forcing him to bow lower.
With his neck pinched, Ye Ling’s body trembled, "This matter was my fault, Ye Ling, please forgive the Min Province lineage."
After Ye Ling finished speaking, Ye Ruyun’s face showed an apologetic expression.
"Today is the time to worship the ancestors, not to be delayed. Let me take you into Ancestor Mountain now."
Having apologized, the Min Province people saw that Ye Ling was unwilling, but they also knew that continuing wouldn’t yield a better outcome, so the white-haired elder leading the Min Province lineage nodded.
Ye Ruyun smiled and glanced at Ye Shan, feeling a bit surprised in her heart.
"Just over thirty, and the Min Province branch has produced a good talent."
Seeing this scene, aside, Ye Ling was a bit startled and envious, while others from various branches couldn’t help but admire the Min Province lineage.
As for Ye Shan himself, he was filled with emotion, realizing one thing profoundly.
Only strength can earn respect!
Ye Shan also felt unprecedented gratitude towards Su Mu in his heart.
"Thanks to that great man, otherwise the Min Province lineage would surely have been humiliated today!"
...
Shanhai Restaurant.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Su Mu shook his head. Just now, his eyelid twitched slightly, as if someone was thinking of him.
"It’s that bitch Sima Jingshu, right? Soon, I won’t make you wait too long. The day of the Ye Family grand banquet will be your death anniversary."
Huangfu Xue put down the teacup in her hand, "Two days later is the Ye Family grand banquet. Shall we go together then? We can set off tomorrow; you haven’t been to Ye City yet, right? You can explore then."
"Alright."
Su Mu replied, "Do you have a Cultivation Room here?"
Upon hearing this, Huangfu Xue couldn’t help but giggle, "Su Mu, you really are a cultivation maniac; even back in Training Camp, you were like this. If I were as diligent as you, perhaps I would already be a Grandmaster by now."
"Come, I’ll take you to the Cultivation Room."
The Cultivation Room door closed.
Su Mu’s eyes narrowed slightly, and in the Sea of Consciousness, the Desolate Thought unstoppered, and immediately a scene of endless yellow sands emerged in the Sea of Consciousness.
With a thought.
The main consciousness traversed tens of thousands of kilometers, descending upon Fire Shadow.
In the Fire Shadow’s eyes, silver radiance flickered as he looked at the Phantom Demon beside him.
"Sir, I have a request."
Su Mu’s eyes shone with a strange light; in his view, the Phantom Demon was as good as dead, but since this guy had a request, he might as well listen.
"Speak."
"I know I will surely die at the hands of the esteemed one, perhaps right after killing that woman, but I ask the esteemed one to grant me some time..." The Phantom Demon spoke calmly with his head down.
Upon hearing this, Su Mu was a bit surprised. In the state of Desolate Thought, he was sure the Phantom Demon wasn’t lying.
"Give me a reason."
At this moment, the Phantom Demon slowly lifted his head, his face full of fervor and yearning.
"Saint Slayer!"
"Sir, I wish to witness the day you slay a saint. The fall of a Martial Saint will surely be awe-inspiring, and the taste of saint blood will definitely be wonderful, hot, and vivacious!"
