Chapter 8

"No!"

Elder Ye Long and Second Elder Ye Hu spoke in unison.

Then Ye Long continued, "The Sword Tomb is too dangerous..."

Moreover, Ye Yan had just killed Qi Shui. If the Qi family saw Ye Yan, who knew what they might do.

Hearing this, Ye Yan gave a bitter smile.

He knew the Great Elder would say this, so he decided to lay his cards on the table.

But at this moment, the Third Elder spoke up, "Brother, let Yan'er follow us. If the Qi family sends people to ambush us today, the consequences would be unimaginable."

The Ye family's elite forces were all mobilized, leaving the Ye family extremely vulnerable today.

The Qi family would not dare to act openly, but if they sent people in secret, it would be very dangerous for Ye Yan to stay here.

"Very well, as long as he follows us and doesn't enter the final Sword Tomb, it will be fine!" Ye Long nodded.

With that, Ye Yan didn't need to explain much more and followed the Ye family on horseback to the outskirts of the city.

When they stepped out of the Ye family's residence, many people in Cangyun City noticed.

"The Ye family has mobilized!"

"Almost all their elite forces are out, even Ye Yan is following. What use does he have? The final competition in the Sword Tomb relies on geniuses!"

"Ye Long is probably afraid that Ye Yan will face danger if he stays at home. After all, the relationship between the Ye family and the Qi family has become even more tense."

"That's true, but the Qi family is likely to cause trouble for the Ye family again. This time, the Ye family won't get any benefits from the Sword Tomb competition."

"But from what I know, the most talented person under eighteen should come from the Fang family."

The competition for the spirit weapon in the Sword Tomb had spread throughout Cangyun City.

On this day, almost all cultivators were paying attention.

On the way, the Ye family was pointed at and discussed, but after half an hour, they finally arrived at Cangling Mountain!

The Lingtai Sword Tomb was located deep in this mountain.

At this moment,

At the foot of the mountain, many people were already waiting.

Among them was the Qi family.

"Does the Ye family dare to come?" Qi Dao, the head of the Qi family, stared at Ye Long and the others, pausing his gaze on Ye Yan for a moment before speaking coldly.

"What is the Ye family afraid of?" Ye Long's voice was firm.

The Qi family had only a few talented young people under eighteen, and while the Ye family was slightly inferior, they were not afraid.

"Hah..."

Hearing Ye Long's words, Qi Dao laughed coldly.

In his eyes, a glint of killing intent gathered.

His son Qi Shui had not been buried yet, all for this day!

He would make all the young people of the Ye family die, only then could Qi Shui rest in peace.

Beside Qi Dao, Qi Shan stood, also looking at Ye Yan coldly. Today, he knew of Qi Dao's plan and made a request: he wanted to bring Ye Yan's head out of the Sword Tomb.

Tap, tap, tap!

At this moment, the Fang family also arrived.

"Head of the Qi family, Elder Ye..." Fang Ling, the head of the Fang family, immediately greeted everyone. Besides them, the Wu family, Deng family, and other forces were also present.

This competition for the spirit weapon in the Sword Tomb was a grand event.

But what was most shocking was...

The Yun family had sent someone.

The Yun family was the family of Yun Feiyue and Yun Feixue!

They were once in Cangyun City, but after Yun Feixue entered the Yun Dynasty Sect, they leaped into the capital and became new nobles of the empire, with a status that was unparalleled in the Wan Yan Empire.

Even apart from the imperial family, the Yun family was almost the most powerful.

No one expected that after being away from Cangyun City for so many years, the Yun family would send someone today?

But it seemed the Yun family had no intention of participating in this competition. The person who came... was just an old woman.

But this old woman made many people feel awe.

Especially Qi Dao, who stepped forward and said, "Old Lady Hua, I didn't expect you to come in person."

The old woman smiled, "For such a big event, how could I not come?"

Qi Dao had personally written to the Yun family, saying that today he would disgrace the Ye family and eliminate a threat for the Yun family, clearly referring to Ye Yan.

Such a matter, the Yun family wanted to see with their own eyes to be reassured.

"Yun family!"

Ye Yan's eyes narrowed, emitting a cold aura.

If it weren't for the Yun family, how would the Ye family be in this situation?

Now they had become a laughingstock in Cangyun City!

Even his father could not rest in peace in the afterlife.

"You are Ye Yan, right? Very good..." At this moment, Old Lady Hua looked at Ye Yan, her eyes cold, but with a smile on her face, "You may not know me, but it doesn't matter. Miss Feixue and Miss Feiyue were both raised by this old servant!"

Boom!

When her words fell, many cultivators from various forces were stunned.

Even many family heads and sect leaders stepped forward to try to form connections.

This was the dignity of a sage.

Even if not present, just a servant could command such respect.

Ye Yan clenched his fists, his resolve growing stronger... One day, he would make everything the Yun family had disappear.

"Alright, it's about time. Everyone... enter the mountain!" At this moment, a voice sounded, and it was the steward of the City Lord's residence speaking. The Sword Tomb was discovered by the City Lord's residence.

However, the City Lord's residence did not send any geniuses, as they were a sage family, and competing for a spirit weapon would tarnish their dignity.

Whoosh...

Once they entered the deep mountains, the aura around them became hazy, and there were wild beasts roaring.

Even spirit beasts were howling!

If it were any other time, it would be difficult for everyone to enter the mountain.

But today, with so many strong people present, they were not afraid.

After one and a half hours, they encountered three attacks by wild beasts, all of which were eliminated by Qi Dao, Ye Long, and others. In the process, the Ye family obtained many resources like wild beast skins.

As they approached the Sword Tomb,

"Up ahead, there is such powerful sword qi!"

What they saw was an ancient cave, with the words "Sword Tomb" written on it, and the sword qi emanated from inside the cave.

"Our task is to protect these young people as they enter. Now that we are close to the Sword Tomb, they must enter on their own." The steward of the City Lord's residence spoke up.

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

"Only those under eighteen can enter!"

The steward then added.

Hearing this, the young people from the Fang family, Wu family, Qi family, and other ordinary forces stepped forward and walked towards the cave.

The young people from the Ye family, such as Ye Ran and Ye Tong, also entered the cave.

Huh?

Ye Yan didn't move?

Qi Dao's expression turned cold, but a smile appeared on his lips. He had already made all the necessary preparations, and then he looked at someone.

At this moment, inside the cave, a young man from an ordinary force family took out a jade pendant and looked outside the cave, "Ye Yan, when your father defended Cangyun City in that battle, he dropped a jade pendant, which I happened to pick up. Don't you want to see it? If your family doesn't want it, I'll sell it!"
