Ye Qingchen!
The Hong Family's main hall was in dead silence, and for a moment, all eyes were focused on the young man.
Many people's pupils contracted, clearly, the identity of the newcomer was beyond their imagination.
"So it's him!"
Ning Xuan folded his fan with an enlightened expression.
Someone next to him, puzzled, asked in a low voice: "Master Ning, who is this Ye Qingchen? He seems to hold a high position!"
"Heh, he is the Young Master of the Ye Family, how could his status be low?" Ning Xuan replied with a cold laugh.
But as soon as these words were spoken, everyone widened their eyes.
Ye Qingchen!
This is the Young Master of the Ye Family, who once single-handedly supported the declining Ye Family!
A cultivator of the Qi Refining Seventh Layer!
However.
Looking at him now, it seems he is unwilling to form a marriage alliance with the Hong Family and has come directly to take someone away!
Many people were filled with confusion.
But only a few who knew the inside story frowned secretly!
Ye Cangliu of the Ye Family lay low for years and when he struck, it was a thunderous blow. On one hand, he tricked Ye Qingchen into drinking poisoned wine to kill him. On the other hand, he captured Ye Qing and sent her to the Hong Family in search of support.
But now.
Ye Qingchen actually returned alive!
Clearly!
The Ye Family's plan had failed!
For a moment, everyone's thoughts were stirred.
"Master Ning, what do you think will be the outcome of Ye Qingchen against the Hong Family tonight?" someone looked at Ning Xuan.
"Isn't it obvious? The Hong Family will win!"
Ning Xuan laughed coldly, his eyes full of mockery:
"If it was a few days ago, facing this situation, Ye Qingchen still might have been able to retreat safely with his status as the Ye Family's Young Master, but now, he is doomed! If I were Ye Qingchen, even if I survived by luck, I would flee as far as possible and never appear again!"
Many people nodded secretly at these words.
Although no one knew how he survived the Ye Family's assassination, these siblings had clearly been utterly abandoned by their family and reduced to pawns. Under such circumstances, how could Ye Qingchen single-handedly fight the entire Hong Family?
Therefore.
Not only Ning Xuan, but no one present had faith in Ye Qingchen!
In fact.
Today, Ye Qingchen might not even be able to leave the Hong Family alive!
In the crowd.
Ye Qingchen listened to the whispers around him, his expression indifferent, only quietly staring at Hong Ren, saying word by word:
"Hong Ren!"
"I never thought you'd still dare to covet my sister! It seems the lesson I gave you wasn't enough!"
A year ago.
Because Hong Ren had harassed Ye Qing on the street, he had been directly crippled by Ye Qingchen!
Boom!
This sentence immediately caused Hong Ren's face to change, retreating several steps in shock. Then, realizing what happened, his expression turned even more unpleasant, having been scared off by Ye Qingchen's words in front of everyone!
"Ye Qingchen, you're just a stray dog abandoned by your family, how dare you be arrogant in front of me?" Hong Ren, regaining his composure, was extremely furious.
Then.
He provocatively grabbed Ye Qing's hair, pulling her harshly in front of him.
"Ah!"
With a scream, Ye Qing was dragged in front of Hong Ren. She struggled fiercely, but soon two slaps landed heavily on her face, filling her mouth with blood!
"Qing'Er!"
Seeing this, Ye Qingchen let out a roar, his eyes filled with rage:
"Hong Ren, you're courting death!"
Touch not the dragon's scales, or death will follow!
To Ye Qingchen!
Ye Qing was his only inverse scale!
"The more you provoke me now, the more I'll make you wish you were dead when I have you in my hands!"
"Haha, Ye Qingchen!" Hong Ren laughed loudly, looking at him arrogantly like he was observing an idiot! "Your sister is in my hands now, come if you dare! But let's see if you have the power to reach me alive!"
"Look around you!"
Boom!
These words immediately stunned everyone present, making them look up.
Ye Qing glanced around, gasping for breath.
Unbeknownst to everyone.
The guests had been pushed aside, and all around had been surrounded by the Hong Family guards, each armed to the teeth! Clearly, they were the Hong Family's death warriors!
Every one of them was skilled in fighting against many!
"The Hong Family is serious this time!"
Seeing this, many people sneered coldly.
Challenging the Hong Family was brave, but resisting their wrath requires true skill!
"Of course it's more than just them!" Ning Xuan, holding a fan, was full of pride: "The Hong Family is one of Cyan Cloud City's top five families; if this is all they have, wouldn't that be a joke?"
"There's more?"
Everyone, hearing this, widened their eyes, gasping.
Even these elites could sweep through half of Cyan Cloud City. Adding more, how could Ye Qingchen escape?
Sure enough!
As Ning Xuan spoke, five more people stepped forward from the crowd.
The aura of these five was far stronger than Chen Shu before, each with electric gazes and fierce skills, all formidable. The leading two had reached Qi Refining Sixth Stage Great Perfection, just a step away from the Seventh Layer.
The two younger ones were at the Sixth Layer Peak!
As these five entered, Ye Qingchen's previous formidable aura was immediately suppressed.
"Ye Qingchen, I know you are a Qi Refining Seventh Layer expert, also the Ye Family's top master!" Hong Ren, full of confidence, spoke smarterly: "These five are Hong Family's tributers! Best at combined attacks, together they can kill a Seventh Layer expert!"
"Plus these guards! Killing you is as easy as crushing an insect!" Hong Ren's eyes flashed fiercely: "Ye Qingchen, if you kneel and beg for mercy now, maybe I'll spare your dog life!"
"Brother, don't worry about me, run!"
Ye Qing shouted hastily.
But immediately.
Hong Ren pulled hard, swallowing her words.
Such a setup was a desperate death trap that no one could resist!
"It's over!" Ning Xuan shook his head slowly.
"Even with immense skills, Ye Qingchen can't escape death!" Everyone present silently passed judgment on Ye Qingchen in their hearts. "Now, kneeling and begging for mercy is his last chance to live!"
Everyone looked over.
Ye Qingchen stood silently in the middle, eyes lowered, saying nothing. To outsiders, he seemed to have accepted his fate. Hong Ren was full of pride, as if seeing the former master of the Ye Family kneeling and begging at his feet in submission.
"Haha!"
At this moment, Ye Qingchen unexpectedly burst into laughter:
"When I walked out of the Chaotic Burial Mound, I thought, if you respectfully let Qing'Er go, I might leave a shred of bloodline for the Hong Family!"
"But now, I've decided to annihilate the Hong Family!"
Boom!
Amidst the laughter.
Ye Qingchen took a step forward, the murderous intent within him erupted without reservation!
