Chapter 2

Removed from the Sacred Stele?

When Ye Yan heard these words, a glint of killing intent appeared in his eyes.

Three years ago, the enemy country invaded, and a large army arrived outside Cangyun City.

Ye Xiaotian, with one man and one sword, fought to the death to protect Cangyun City.

His great military achievements were witnessed by all the people in the city, and only then was his name inscribed on the Cangyun Sacred Stele.

This was an honor earned with his life!

Now, the Qi family actually wanted to remove his name?

Creak…

At this moment, Ye Yan pushed the door open and headed towards the Ye family courtyard.

Inside the Ye family courtyard, the Ye family cultivators gathered, and the eyes of the First Elder, Ye Long, were filled with a cold and stern expression.

Facing them were several people from the Qi family.

Among them was a middle-aged man, the head of the Qi family, named Qi Dao. At this moment, he said with a cold smile, "Ye Long, I came today just to inform your Ye family. I didn't expect your Ye family to be so ungrateful? Offending the Yun family, do you still think your Ye family can remain as it was before?"

"Now that Yun Feixue and Yun Feiyue have returned to the Yun Dynasty Sect, although the Yun family has gained some strength over the years, I know that there are not many cultivators who have reached the Cave Spirit Realm, right?" Ye Long took a step forward, and his aura instantly surged.

A surge of spiritual energy immediately enveloped the courtyard.

Under this spiritual energy, Qi Dao's expression changed: "Sixth Rank Cave Spirit Realm?"

In the path of cultivation, one first builds the body and forges the flesh! Absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, one enters the Condensing Qi Realm!

After that, there are the Core Formation Realm, Cave Spirit Realm, Spirit Platform Realm, Sage Realm, Tribulation Transcending Realm... and the Emperor Realm!

Each realm is divided into nine ranks, and a Sixth Rank Cave Spirit Realm cultivator is already quite powerful in Cangyun City.

"If you really push us to the limit, we will fight your Qi family and Yun family. Perhaps my Ye family will perish, but your Qi family won't have it easy either!" Ye Long's voice echoed firmly.

The people of the Ye family all clenched their fists, showing no fear.

Gulp!

Qi Dao didn't expect that the Ye family would all be

</di>

fearless of death.

"Hmph, if it weren't for the rule in Cangyun City that families of those whose names are inscribed on the Cangyun Sacred Stele cannot be killed at will, your Ye family... would have been wiped out long ago! And now, Miss Feixue is competing for the successor of the Yun Dynasty Sect, and we can't leave any handles!" Qi Dao sneered inwardly.

The Yun Dynasty Sect, located between the six great empires, is a true holy sect!

It is even above the Ten Thousand Flame Empire and is the most powerful sect in this region!

If Yun Feixue can become its successor and take charge of the Yun Dynasty Sect in the future, she will be truly invincible.

What is the Ye family?

They are merely protected by the name of Ye Xiaotian inscribed on the Cangyun Sacred Stele.

But at this moment, he stared at the people of the Ye family and said, "Ye Long, even if you have such strength, Ye Xiaotian's name will definitely be removed from the Cangyun Sacred Stele! Do you still remember the rules of Cangyun City? There are only two ways to have your name inscribed on the Cangyun Sacred Stele. One is to establish great military achievements for Cangyun City! The second is to participate in the Cangyun Battle, which is held once every hundred years."

"The Cangyun Battle?"

How could the people of the Ye family not know about this battle?

This is almost a battle of geniuses among the younger generation, open to youths under twenty years old.

Although it has only been held six times, each Cangyun Battle has been extremely brilliant, drawing the attention of countless people.

Especially those who win the Cangyun Battle are destined to be future powerhouses and have the qualifications to inscribe their names on the Cangyun Sacred Stele!

However, the Cangyun Sacred Stele has limited space, only allowing ten names to be inscribed.

Previously, the entire Cangyun Sacred Stele had already inscribed eight names.

These eight people, three of whom were inscribed for their great military achievements, and the other five were the champions of the Cangyun Battle, thus earning their names. Each one of them, inscribed on it, would be remembered for generations.

Five years ago, the sixth Cangyun Battle was held, and Yun Feixue won, inscribing her name on it.

Three years ago, Ye Xiaotian fought to the death, and his name was also inscribed on it.

The ten slots were now completely full. If anyone else were to be inscribed, one of the previous names would have to be removed!

But the people of the Ye family had cold expressions. The Cangyun Battle... is held once every hundred years.

But it has only been four years since the last one!

"Ha ha..." Seeing the expressions of the Ye family, Qi Dao laughed loudly, "The City Lord's Office has specially approved the seventh Cangyun Battle to be held ahead of schedule! Ye Long, this is the City Lord's will. Does your Ye family want to oppose the City Lord?"

"This..."

Ye Long and the Ye family cultivators all turned pale.

The City Lord's Office has also turned against the Yun family?

Sages are truly unreachable.

Even though she has returned to the Yun Dynasty Sect and is no longer in the Ten Thousand Flame Empire, her sage's authority can make all families and sects bow down.

"The Yun family wants to strip our Ye family of its honor and then annihilate us!" Ye Long muttered, "What have we, the Ye family, done wrong? Back then, it was Xiaotian and the entire Ye family who helped the Yun family through their difficulties, and the marriage contract was proposed by the Yun family!"

"What have you done wrong? Ye Long, doesn't your Ye family still not understand?"

"Everything is because your Ye family, a toad, wanted to eat swan meat. Yun Feixue has become a sage, and Yun Feiyue, at sixteen, has already reached the Core Formation Realm and awakened a sage body. They will stand at the pinnacle of this region in the future."

"What is your Ye family? Do you even deserve to marry them? Moreover, Miss Feixue's name is also on the Cangyun Sacred Stele. When she left, she said that being on the same stele as Ye Xiaotian was a stain on her life!" Qi Dao said coldly.

"What a stain on her life!"

At this moment, a voice echoed in the courtyard.

Ye Yan had arrived!

But in his eyes, there was a deep, bone-chilling coldness.

"Hmm?"

Everyone was stunned and looked at Ye Yan in unison.

First Elder Ye Long, Second Elder Ye Hu, Third Elder Ye Bao, and others were instantly overjoyed.

Ye Yan was alive!

However, they were also greatly surprised. Although they had given Ye Yan a pill from the Ye family, that pill could only save his life, and Ye Yan would likely spend his life bedridden.

Now, Ye Yan's meridians and bones had all recovered?

He could even walk?

This was simply a miracle!

"Xiaotian must have blessed us, Yan'er has recovered!" Ye Long took a deep breath and said.

Ye Yan bowed to Ye Long and the others. After his father's death, they had all treated him like a grandson, taking good care of him.

"Ye Yan? You're still alive? Ha ha ha, but that's good. One month from now, when our Qi family's genius wins the Cangyun Battle, you can watch your father's name be erased. It will also show you the consequences of offending a sage!" Qi Dao said coldly.

"Your Qi family is celebrating too early, aren't you? Are you so sure you can win the Cangyun Battle?" Ye Long stared at Qi Dao, his eyes cold and stern.

"Ha ha ha, Ye Long, who in Cangyun City doesn't know that my son Qi Shan has extraordinary talent and the potential of a sage? Who can compare to him in this Cangyun Battle?" Qi Dao laughed loudly.

At this moment, Qi Shan also stepped forward.

He was nineteen years old, with a sharp face and ugly appearance, but his aura was extremely stable, and his gaze was sharp, indicating that his strength was definitely not weak.

This made the people of the Ye family also focus their attention!

But at this moment, a voice echoed: "The Cangyun Battle, open to those under twenty years old, right?"

These words came from Ye Yan.
