"Ye Hao, what are you doing? This is the clan meeting, get down quickly!" Seeing Ye Hao abnormally walk onto the martial arts platform, the Seventh Clan Elder's face darkened, quite displeased.
Ye Hao, as if he hadn't heard the Seventh Clan Elder's shout, walked straight to the center of the platform and suddenly pointed at Ye Zhen in the crowd, shouting, "Ye Zhen, why don't you come up and face your death!"
The Seventh Clan Elder's face immediately turned black. Ye Hao, relying on his cultivation, had become increasingly arrogant in the clan over the years. With a movement, his true essence surged, and the Seventh Clan Elder was about to take Ye Hao down directly.
But at this moment, Ye Hao seemed to sense the Seventh Clan Elder's intentions, and a faint but sharp aura suddenly rose, enveloping the Seventh Clan Elder, making him suddenly startled and recalling a possibility.
If he forcibly stopped Ye Hao and failed, his old face would have nowhere to go. After all, Ye Hao was the most likely to break through to the Spirit Induction Realm in the Ye Clan in nearly a hundred years.
Thinking of this, the Seventh Clan Elder couldn't help but look at the Great Clan Elder Ye Haiping for help. He understood that the only one who could stop Ye Hao was the Great Clan Elder Ye Haiping, even the Clan Chief couldn't.
However, the Great Clan Elder was pretending not to see anything, calmly chatting with the County Magistrate Cen Ping.
This appearance made the Seventh Clan Elder immediately realize that what Ye Hao was doing was probably approved by the Great Clan Elder. Understanding this, the Seventh Clan Elder immediately became angry and shouted at Ye Hao without hesitation, "Ye Hao, what are you doing? This is the ancestral hall meeting. Can't you resolve your grudge with Ye Zhen later?"
This time, Ye Hao responded to the Seventh Clan Elder.
He glanced at the Seventh Clan Elder lightly and said, "Seventh Clan Elder, give me some face. I'm afraid if I don't deal with Ye Zhen now, I won't have the chance later!"
"Why?"
"Because in a while, Ye Zhen's branch will be expelled from the Ye Clan and driven out of Jin Cheng County, and even their ancestors' memorial tablets will be removed from the ancestral hall!"
Ye Hao's words shocked everyone!
"Ye Hao, what are you talking about?" The Clan Chief Ye Tianqi was the first to shout sternly. Expelling clan members and removing their ancestors' memorial tablets was a major matter, and he, the Clan Chief, didn't know about it, yet Ye Hao was talking nonsense.
Ye Zhen, who was standing with his arms crossed below the platform, suddenly became stern. Being expelled from the clan and having their ancestors' memorial tablets removed, well, this was a desperate move.
However, this suited Ye Zhen's intentions. Ye Zhen had no strong sense of belonging to the clan. With his current wealth and abilities, he could easily rebuild the Ye family for his father.
Ye Zhen didn't care, but his father Ye Tiancheng immediately turned red and purple with anger, "Expel our branch from the clan? Why? What major mistake have we committed? Clan Chief, is this true?"
Many clan members of the Ye family were also stunned. It was normal for clan members to be punished for wrongdoing, but directly expelling them from the clan was extremely serious, almost comparable to desecrating someone's grave. The platform below immediately fell silent.
The County Magistrate Cen Shan was also confused, looking left and right. What was going on with this year's Ye Clan meeting?
"Clan Chief, speak up. Is this true? What major mistake have I, Ye Tiancheng, committed?" Ye Tiancheng's voice was mournful and stern.
At this moment, the Clan Chief Ye Tianqi couldn't sit still anymore. Just as he was about to explode, the Great Clan Elder Ye Haiping suddenly chuckled and spoke.
"Oh, Clan Chief, I was careless and forgot to tell you! Ye Zhen is a bold and disrespectful scoundrel. Not only did he defy his elders, but he also dared to harm them, completely losing his mind. So, I and the other clan elders came to this conclusion and were about to show it to you, but Ye Hao, being straightforward, said it first."
The Seventh Clan Elder on the platform sneered. Ye Zhen defied his elders, but what was Ye Hao doing now? Besides, who in the clan didn't know the reason for Ye Zhian's disability?
Wasn't it because your Great Clan Elder lineage was too greedy and used public power for personal revenge?
The Clan Chief Ye Tianqi's face turned stern, and he suddenly said, word by word, "You mean, you've all decided on this?"
If the Great Clan Elder and the other clan elders had already decided, and now he was being told in public, what was the point of him being the Clan Chief?
Just as the Clan Chief Ye Tianqi was about to explode, the Great Clan Elder Ye Haiping suddenly moved his lips, "Clan Chief, the elder of the Lishui Sect said that as long as there are enough medicinal pills and proper supply, within six years, Hao will definitely break through to the Spirit Induction Realm!
It's been a hundred years, the first Spirit Induction Realm in our Ye family......"
This last sentence hit the Clan Chief Ye Tianqi like a heavy hammer, instantly dispelling his anger.
Yes, it's been a hundred years!
The Ye Clan needed a Spirit Induction Realm member to serve as a deterrent, and this hope rested entirely on Ye Hao......
His momentum gone, the Clan Chief Ye Tianqi slowly sank back into his chair, his expression full of helplessness.
Below the platform, Ye Tiancheng was stunned, his face turning deathly pale, but his expression soon became resolute.
"Our branch of the Ye family was once the main lineage, and several generations of our ancestors have devoted their lives to the Ye Clan. You can expel me from the clan, but if anyone dares to remove our ancestors' memorial tablets, I will die in front of the ancestral hall!" Ye Tiancheng pointed at the ancestral hall, speaking firmly.
After saying this, Ye Tiancheng suddenly turned to the ancestral hall, pushed the mountain of gold, and fell to his knees, the clan members in front of him immediately moving out of the way.
"I, Ye Tiancheng, am incompetent, causing our ancestors to be disgraced. Please punish me, ancestors!" Ye Tiancheng touched the ground with his head, wailing.
Ye Zhen, who had been standing with his arms crossed and a relaxed expression, was stunned. He didn't expect his father to be so resolute. His usually easygoing father had such a strong reaction.
Originally, Ye Zhen thought it was fine not to stay in the Ye Clan, but his father's reaction was completely unexpected.
Perhaps the older generation's view of the clan was different from the younger generation's.
Different or not, Ye Zhen would never let his father live in sorrow and self-blame.
Since that's the case, Ye Zhen's plan had to change!
"Father, get up!" Ye Zhen slowly helped Ye Tiancheng to his feet, "Father, let me handle this!"
Ye Tiancheng still looked sad, thinking that having their ancestors' memorial tablets removed was a great humiliation.
"Father, trust me, have you forgotten your son's strength?"
Ye Zhen's soft words slightly lifted Ye Tiancheng's spirits.
Whoosh!
His figure shot out, and everyone only saw a blur as Ye Zhen appeared on the martial arts platform.
On the platform, the Clan Chief Ye Tianqi's pupils suddenly constricted. Ye Zhen's movement to get on the platform was not simple; the speed was something even he couldn't achieve.
Ye Zhen got on the platform, but Ye Hao didn't rush to attack. Instead, he bowed to the crowd below, "All the uncles and brothers of the Ye Clan, six days ago, my third uncle was crippled by Ye Zhen, his right arm almost shattered. Today, I, Ye Hao, am here to seek justice for my third uncle."
"Ye Hao, your third uncle should be grateful that he didn't reach out to my mother. Otherwise, you wouldn't be wearing this blue robe, but mourning clothes! Whoever dares to harm my parents, I will take their life!" Ye Zhen pointed at Ye Hao's blue robe.
Ye Zhen's last words were directed at all the Ye Clan members. He was here to establish his authority today!
The Ye Clan members were immediately stunned, and even Ye Hao was surprised. He didn't expect Ye Zhen to say such an extremely arrogant statement in this situation.
The Clan Chief Ye Tianqi, the Great Clan Elder Ye Haiping, and others on the platform raised their eyebrows. Ye Zhen's words were too bold and presumptuous.
The Seventh Clan Elder, who was presiding over the meeting, could only smile bitterly. The two young men on the platform were one more arrogant than the other, one more reckless than the other!
"Such a big mouth! Ye Zhen, if I were you, I wouldn't be boasting now but thinking about how to get out of this alive." Ye Hao didn't hide his killing intent, shouting as he was about to attack.
"Come on, Ye Zhen!"
"Wait!"
Just as Ye Hao was about to attack, Ye Zhen suddenly called out, making Ye Hao stop reluctantly.
"What? Are you afraid? Ye Zhen, I'm telling you, even if you're afraid, you'll still have to give my third uncle an arm today......"
Ye Zhen shrugged innocently, "Ye Hao, I'm actually saying that you're not my match. Why don't all of you come at me together to save the trouble!"
Ye Zhen pointed at all the young men waiting to fight and shouted, "All of you, come on!"
