Chapter 37

~~

If the Ye family really has a divine pattern master backing them, the Du family's attempt to swallow the Ye family won't be as simple as they thought!

It turns out that the seemingly destitute Ye family wasn't as weak as they imagined. The thoughts of the young masters from various noble families suddenly became active.

Du Yuanming glanced at Du Han Yue, who lay on the ground like a dead dog, and then at Ye Zhong, who was still standing on the training ground. His face was terrifyingly grim.

"Brother Du, a martial artist actually mastered a mystic-level divine skill. This matter is not as simple as it seems!" Dong He, standing beside him, said with some difficulty. His eyes darted around, and his thoughts flickered. If the Ye family really had a divine pattern master backing them, he didn't need to offend the Ye family to the death. After all, he wasn't the one who initiated this matter. He could stay out of it and see how things develop.

Du Yuanming's face was as dark as water, and he didn't speak.

"Zhong has won! A five-star martial artist defeated a six-star martial artist who used a forbidden divine skill. Heaven is protecting our Ye family!" Ye Zhengqing's furrowed brows finally relaxed, and his aged face showed uncontainable joy.

Zhong's talent has already surpassed theirs when they were young. Xiao Wei was also found to have the talent of a divine pattern master. If another twenty years pass, who would dare to bully our Ye family?

Ye Hai's hand trembled slightly, and he was so excited that he couldn't control himself. Zhong has won!

"Big brother, you have a good son!" Ye Yi, Ye Han, Ye Yu, Ye Jingjing, and others looked at Ye Hai, their faces filled with genuine smiles.

Zhong has completed his mission and protected the Ye family!

"Third brother, thank you! Thank you, Xiao Wei!" Ye Hai said gratefully, patting Ye Yi's shoulder heavily. If it weren't for Ye Wei helping Zhong perfect the White Tiger Life-Taking divine skill, Zhong might still be in a life-or-death situation! This battle, Ye Wei's contribution was the greatest!

Hearing Ye Hai's words, Ye Yi couldn't help but have tears in his eyes. Ye Wei had always been a thorn in his heart. With only a red-level sea of consciousness, he might never have the hope of entering the martial artist realm. As Ye Wei's father, how could he not worry? Especially with the recent turmoil in the Ye family, without the protection of the Ye family, how could Ye Wei survive?

But now, they suddenly discovered that Ye Wei, with only a red-level sea of consciousness, was the one with the strongest talent in the Ye family, possessing the ability to change the fate of the Ye family!

A father is honored by his son!

As Ye Wei's father, Ye Yi also felt very honored!

Now he no longer needed to worry about Ye Wei's future, and the stone that had been hanging in his heart could finally be put down.

Du Han Yue has lost!

At this moment, the expressions of the Du family members, General Zhou Wu from the City Lord's residence, and Dong He from the Linghe Chamber of Commerce were unprecedentedly solemn.

Although Du Han Yue was severely injured, at least his life was saved. Du Yuanming didn't pay much attention to it. With the Du family's wealth, as long as Du Han Yue didn't die, they had ways to heal him.

The key now was whether the Ye family really had a divine pattern master backing them, and if so, who was that divine pattern master?

"Could it really be Master Yi?" Du Yuanming frowned, thinking, because the Ye family mentioned Master Yi just now.

"Perfecting a spirit-level divine skill into a mystic-level divine skill, in this Qingyue City, probably only Master Yi has such ability!" General Zhou Wu said solemnly. Although he was a martial artist, he was also meticulous. If the divine pattern master backing the Ye family was really Master Yi, he couldn't afford to offend him.

Qingyue City has three divine pattern masters, but Master Yi is undoubtedly the first among them. Master Yi is already a ten-star divine pattern master, and one step further would be the legendary divine pattern grandmaster!

In the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, divine pattern grandmasters are few and far between, possessing supreme power. Master Yi is second only to them. In this remote small city, who would dare to offend Master Yi? Even the City Lord would have to think carefully.

General Zhou Wu and Dong He exchanged glances, both seeing the solemn and cautious expressions in each other's eyes.

"This is impossible! If the Ye family really had a deep relationship with Master Yi, why didn't Master Yi come to the martial arts competition between the Ye family and the Du family today?" Sensing the change in attitude of Zhou Wu and Dong He, Du Yuanming immediately reacted, firmly saying.

Zhou Wu and Dong He were just invited to assist in the battle. They didn't offend the Ye family too much and could still retreat unscathed, but he couldn't. The Du family and the Ye family had already formed a deep enmity. If the Ye family really could turn the tide, the first to be targeted would be his Du family!

The Du family had no way out!

Du Yuanming coldly snorted and said, "The Ye family is just trying to scare us. Master Yi might have unintentionally helped that boy, Ye Zhong, perfect his divine skill. With Master Yi's indifferent attitude towards fame and fortune, how could he easily get involved in secular disputes? It's impossible for the Ye family to invite Master Yi to assist them!"

Zhou Wu and Dong He fell silent for a moment. What Du Yuanming said made some sense.

"If we get the Ye family's ancestral land at Beishan Bay and hand it over to Young Master Lü Feng, Young Master Lü Feng will naturally speak up for us! Plus, the Ye family has already signed the contract. With the contract in hand, as long as we win the competition, even if Master Yi is backing them, Master Yi won't have much to say!" Du Yuanming clenched his teeth and said coldly. Now, it's all or nothing!

"Brother Du, Du Han Yue is the strongest among the young generation of your Du family. Now that Du Han Yue has lost, the remaining five-star martial artists probably won't be a match for Ye Zhong!" Dong He looked at Ye Zhong on the training ground. Although Ye Zhong's face was pale and he was gritting his teeth to hold on, he might still be hiding his strength. Sending a five-star martial artist might not be able to defeat Ye Zhong.

"That boy has mastered a mystic-level divine skill, which is indeed a thorny issue!" General Zhou Wu said with a grim face. Who knows if Ye Zhong can still forcefully use the White Tiger Life-Taking? If Ye Zhong can use it again, even sending a six-star martial artist might not be a match for him.

"When we came, Young Master Lü Feng had already made full preparations. Since a six-star martial artist is not a match for Ye Zhong, we can only send a seven-star martial artist!" Du Yuanming glanced at the place where the young generation of the Du family was gathered, his gaze falling on the cold and stern young man.

That young man is a friend of Young Master Lü Feng and is a seven-star martial artist, but he is not a member of the Du family.

"Who among your Du family dares to fight me?" Ye Zhong's deep roar echoed throughout the training ground. His pale face and fierce gaze swept over the young generation of the Du family.

One more match, one more win, and the Ye family's ancestral land will be saved!

Feeling Ye Zhong's fierce gaze, the several five-star martial artists of the Du family were all terrified. The惨状 of Du Han Yue's defeat was still vivid in their minds, making them feel a bit timid.

"Zhong, don't overexert yourself!" The Ye family members looked at Ye Zhong, who was covered in blood, their faces showing concern. After all, Ye Zhong was only a five-star martial artist. He defeated Du Xianhong and then Du Han Yue. Could he fight again?

"As long as I still have a breath left, I will not leave this training ground!" Ye Zhong gritted his teeth and said solemnly, "As a descendant of the Ye family, it is my duty!"

Fight!

Can only fight! Must fight! It has come to this. Even if I die from exhaustion, I must defeat the last person of the Du family and protect the Ye family's ancestral land!

At this moment, a young man with a cold and stern expression slowly walked out from among the young generation of the Du family, adjusting his sleeves as he walked, looking extremely relaxed.

"Your courage is commendable, but today, you are destined to lose!" The young man said calmly, stepping toward the training ground.
