Chapter 45

~~

In stark contrast to the joyous mood of the Ye family, Du Yuanming, Zhou Wu, and Dong He’s faces turned increasingly pale, their hearts filled with despair and unwillingness.

Du Yuanming glared at Ye Zhengqing and the others with venom, never expecting the Ye family, on the brink of destruction, to suddenly turn the tide. The enmity between the Du and Ye families was irreconcilable; as long as the Ye family existed, he could not rest easy! However, with Master Yi’s protection, he had no way to make a move against the Ye family!

The younger generation of the Ye family had all woken up, except for Ye Zhong, who remained unconscious. The Ye family did not think much of it, assuming that Ye Zhong was just severely injured and would be fine after some rest.

When Master Yi saw that Ye Weilin was fine, he was relieved. However, when he looked at the only one still unconscious, Ye Zhong, his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes glowed with a faint golden light, staring straight at Ye Zhong as if his gaze could penetrate his body.

Master Yi gazed at Ye Zhong with a serious expression.

"This child has great talent, but it’s a pity..." After a long silence, Master Yi sighed, looking at Ye Zhong with a hint of regret as he shook his head.

The moment Ye Weilin woke up, the first name he called was Ye Zhong. Master Yi naturally understood that Ye Zhong held a high place in Ye Weilin’s heart. If he could cure Ye Zhong, he would certainly take action.

However, Ye Zhong’s injuries were too severe; his mind’s sea was already shattered. Unless he could obtain the legendary "Heavenly Soul Grass," Ye Zhong would remain in a coma!

Even if he obtained the Heavenly Soul Grass, it could only awaken Ye Zhong, and the possibility of fully restoring his mind’s sea was less than one percent.

Thump!

When Ye Weilin heard Master Yi’s sigh, his heart trembled violently. He asked anxiously, "Master Yi, what’s wrong with Cousin Ye Zhong?" Ye Weilin looked at Master Yi with tension, his fists clenched tightly.

"What’s wrong with Ye Zhong?"

Ye Zhengqing, Ye Hai, and the others also became tense when they heard Master Yi’s sigh. Ye Zhong was the strongest among the younger generation of the Ye family, already a five-star warrior at the age of twenty-two, with a good chance of becoming a Condensation Essence Realm expert, and even surpassing Grandfather Ye Zhengqing.

Ye Zhong carried the future of the Ye family; how could he be in trouble? How could he have an accident?

"This child’s mind’s sea is shattered... He will likely never wake up in his lifetime..." Master Yi looked at the tense crowd, pondered for a moment, and then spoke honestly.

"Mind’s sea... shattered? Ye Zhong’s mind’s sea is shattered..."

Master Yi’s low, solemn words were like a bolt of lightning, striking the minds of everyone present. Ye Zhengqing, Ye Hai, and the others trembled violently, almost falling over.

The mind’s sea shattered... The strongest among the younger generation of the Ye family, was actually, actually reduced to this?

"Mind’s sea shattered?"

"Never wake up in his lifetime?" Master Yi’s words echoed in Ye Weilin’s mind. He stood there, dazed, his expression blank, as if he had gone numb.

Cousin Ye Zhong, with his severely damaged body, forced himself to use the White Tiger Life-Ending Technique to resist General Zhou Wu, all to protect me!

The guilt in his heart made Ye Weilin’s heart feel as if it were being cut by a knife, the pain making it hard to breathe.

"Is there no other way?" Ye Weilin clenched his fists tightly, raised his head, and looked at Master Yi with determination. "If I can save Cousin Ye Zhong, I will do anything, even if it means climbing a mountain of knives or diving into a sea of fire!"

Seeing Ye Weilin’s resolute expression, Master Yi fell silent for a moment and then said, "It’s not impossible, but only if we can find a ‘Heavenly Soul Grass.’ I can use my technique to restore his mind’s sea, but the Heavenly Soul Grass is extremely rare and precious, and there’s no guarantee we can find it. I will do my best!"

"Thank you, Master!" Ye Weilin bowed respectfully, not knowing if Master Yi could find the Heavenly Soul Grass, but if he couldn’t, he would find a way to get it!

Seeing the attention of the crowd focused on Ye Zhong, Du Yuanming, Dong He, and Zhou Wu secretly thought it was a bad sign and quietly prepared to leave with their people.

"Are you preparing to leave?" Master Yi snorted coldly, his gaze piercing as he glanced at Du Yuanming and the others.

"Master Yi..." Du Yuanming and the others immediately felt their scalps tingle. With Ye Zhong already incapacitated, if Master Yi decided to act, neither the Du family nor Zhou Wu and Dong He could withstand his wrath!

"Our family does indeed have some conflicts with the Ye family, but since Master Yi has intervened, we will no longer dare to cause trouble for the Ye family. Ignorance is not a crime; please, Master Yi, show mercy!" Du Yuanming said humbly, though he was the head of his clan, he was still trembling in front of Master Yi.

Hearing Du Yuanming’s words, Ye Weilin’s eyes widened, and he glared at Du Yuanming. Du Yuanming had injured so many people in the Ye family and shattered Ye Zhong’s mind’s sea. Could this matter just be left like this? He only regretted not having enough strength now, but one day, he would definitely take revenge!

Seeing the hatred in Ye Weilin’s eyes, Master Yi thought to himself that today he would help Ye Weilin vent his anger!

Ye Weilin was the only disciple who could inherit his legacy and even surpass him. Whether it was his powerful soul perception, his mastery of divine patterns, or the legendary supreme-level divine pattern compatibility, Ye Weilin held an irreplaceable position in Master Yi’s heart.

Master Yi’s right hand moved, and divine patterns appeared in the air, rapidly flowing, and a vast surge of primordial energy rushed out like a tidal wave.

"Technique - Great Luo Thousand Leaf Palm!" Master Yi’s gaze suddenly became cold and stern.

Feeling the divine pattern fluctuations in the air, Du Yuanming, Zhou Wu, and Dong He all changed color, trembling with fear. Could Master Yi really have decided to kill them?

"Master Yi, spare our lives!"

"Please, Master Yi, show mercy!" Du Yuanming and the others quickly begged for mercy.

Before their words had even finished, countless golden palm shadows rushed toward Du Yuanming.

Du Yuanming’s expression turned grim, and he exchanged a glance with Zhou Wu and Dong He. At this point, they could not just sit and wait to die!

"Technique - Heavenly Profound Protection!" Du Yuanming instantly completed the divine pattern, and a surge of primordial energy quickly gathered around him, forming a thick armor-like shadow.

"Technique - Zhou Yuan Shield Wall!" Zhou Wu roared, like a lion roaring to the sky. He took a step forward, and the ground shook violently. Divine patterns flowed in his palm, instantly forming a thick primordial energy shield in front of him.

"Technique - Ice Spirit Coffin!" Dong He also called out, his fat body trembling. A surge of icy primordial energy quickly gathered around him, forming a large coffin that encased him, the thick ice shining brightly in the sunlight.

Two seven-star Condensation Essence Realm and one five-star Condensation Essence Realm experts simultaneously used defensive techniques!

Their status and position could not match Master Yi, and they did not dare to attack him together, but using techniques to protect themselves was something no one would criticize!

"Hmph!" Master Yi snorted coldly, his palm shadows heavy and merciless, striking Du Yuanming’s Heavenly Profound Protection, Zhou Wu’s primordial energy shield, and Dong He’s Ice Spirit Coffin.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Upon contact with Master Yi’s golden palm shadows, Du Yuanming’s Heavenly Profound Protection quickly shattered, Zhou Wu’s primordial energy shield rapidly disintegrated, and the Ice Spirit Coffin, upon which the golden palm imprint landed, crumbled into pieces.

Dong He was hit by a palm force, flying backward and landing heavily on the ground, spitting out blood.

As for Du Yuanming and Zhou Wu, they were no better. The golden palm imprints struck their bodies, leaving deep indentations, and blood flowed from the corners of their mouths. Their internal meridians were in chaos, and the excruciating pain was almost unbearable.

The pain they had inflicted on the Ye family was now being returned to them.

Even if they joined forces, they were no match for Master Yi, which filled them with despair. Master Yi’s strength was truly overwhelming! The threat of death loomed closer, filling them with fear.

Master Yi looked at Du Yuanming, Zhou Wu, and Dong He with a cold gaze, taking a step closer.

"The Du family seems to have no reason to exist!" Master Yi said calmly, his voice like a sharp icicle.

Hearing Master Yi’s words, Du Yuanming’s pupils contracted violently, his face turning ashen.

All the Du family members present turned pale, filled with despair. A seven-star Condensation Essence Realm expert was beaten like a dog by Master Yi, let alone them.

At this moment, the mysterious young man on the stage was terrified. He had been invited by Lord Lü Feng to assist, originally thinking he had no need to act. Who would have thought that the Ye family would suddenly have Ye Zhong, forcing him to step in. He thought he had a high chance of winning, but the situation suddenly changed, and the Ye family had actually invited Master Yi.

"Master Yi, I am not from the Du family, but from the Lü family of Ningcheng. Please, Master Yi, show mercy!" The young man quickly bowed to Master Yi.

Master Yi’s cold gaze swept over the young man. The Lü family’s young man had decent talent, far surpassing Ye Zhong, but compared to Ye Weilin, he was nothing but a piece of trash!

"The Lü family’s young generation dares to cause trouble here!" Master Yi snorted, waving his sleeve, and a powerful gust of wind struck out.

The young Lü family member immediately felt a vast surge of primordial energy rushing toward him. He had no time to use a technique and quickly raised his arms to block. However, with a crisp "snap," his arm bones instantly broke, and he flew backward like a broken kite, crashing into a distant wall, sending bricks and stones flying, and falling to the ground, spitting out blood.

A warrior-level expert like the young Lü family member was like an ant in front of Master Yi.

The young Lü family member never expected Master Yi to completely disregard his family. After being hit, he felt as if all his bones were about to shatter. He quickly lay on the ground, pretending to be dead, hoping to escape.

Seeing this, the young nobles from various families looked at each other, their faces filled with shock. Master Yi’s anger was truly terrifying! Fortunately, it was not their family who had offended the Ye family; otherwise, they would have been in trouble. They looked at the Ye family with a chill, vowing never to provoke them in the future.

The Ye family members were equally shocked, their fists clenched tightly. Master Yi’s strength left an indelible impression on them. When would their family have such a powerful expert? Then who would dare to bully them?

As Master Yi took another step forward, a fierce wind swept across the entire Ye family training ground, dust flying into the sky, blocking out the sun, like the end of the world.

Master Yi, with his hair and beard standing on end, looked like a death god from hell.

"Master Yi, I protest!" Du Yuanming quickly knelt down, bowing and shouting. If he did not speak now, he might never have another chance.
