Chapter 33 Rise to fame
Although some sensational clowns jumped beams in order to become famous, they announced that Ye Ye Ye was not worthy of his name, and even threatened to challenge Ye Ye. But their words and deeds also proved that Ye Ye did have a high popularity in the sealed town from another aspect, and even Qin Zhentu, the hall master of the Divine Martial Palace, couldn't ignore this matter and began to pay attention to him.
On the third day of the assassination, in the main hall of the Shenwu Palace, Qin Zhentu, the master of the Shenwu Palace, suddenly summoned the Great Elder Wu Tian to sit opposite him. The two were playing chess in the center of the hall, chatting with each other.
"I was busy with retreat and cultivation before, and all the affairs in the hall were handed over to the Great Elder to take care of, and the Great Elder worked hard!"
As soon as Qin Zhentu fell, he said to Wu Tian with a grateful face.
"The hall master is serious, sharing the worries of the hall master is what I should do!"
Wu Tian hurriedly waved his hand politely, and his attitude towards Qin Zhentu was full of respect.
"Great Elder don't have to be humble, I have all the credit for you in my heart! However, your disciple Li Gan actually kidnapped another disciple's maid some time ago, and his words and deeds have crossed the line, so the Great Elder still needs to discipline him more!"
Qin Zhentu first affirmed Wu Tian's contribution, but then changed his words and mentioned the previous conflict between Li Qian and Ye Ye, revealing dissatisfaction between his words.
"The hall master forgives the sin! I will definitely punish Li Gan severely after I go back, and I will never let him disgrace our Shenwu Hall again!"
When Wu Tian heard Qin Zhentu say this, he was so frightened that he hurriedly got up, bowed solemnly to Qin Zhentu and apologized, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He finally understood why Qin Zhentu was going to play chess with him not long after he came out of the customs, it turned out that the drunkard didn't mean to drink, and planned to beat himself.
Seeing Wu Tian's fierce reaction, Qin Zhentu hurriedly smiled and said, "Great Elder don't be nervous, I'm just reminding you!" That disciple named Ye Ye seems to have good potential, and he has been very active in Fengzhen recently. Although he hasn't officially joined our Divine Martial Palace, it's still worth our attention!"
"Yes! Wu Tian understands that he will definitely focus on this person in the future!"
Wu Tian's face became even more solemn, because he had already guessed from Qin Zhentu's words that the other party must have investigated the grievances between him and Ye Ye very clearly. Now Qin Zhentu asked him to pay attention to Ye Ye, in fact, he wanted to mediate from it, and at the same time, it was also a warning to himself.
Qin Zhentu saw that Wu Tian had already understood what he meant, so he nodded with a smile and said, "Great Elder, please sit down! We don't have to worry too much about things between young people, as long as we don't cross the line, it's best to let them handle it themselves." However, if other forces dare to make a move against the disciples of our Divine Martial Palace, we can't stand idly by. ”
"Yes, Wu Tian understands! Not long ago, the Ma family and the Shen family joined forces to assassinate Ye Ye, although they failed, they ignored the majesty of my Divine Martial Palace, and they will definitely get the punishment they deserve!"
Wu Tian knew what the other forces in Qin Zhentu's mouth were referring to, so he hurriedly expressed his position, not daring to have the slightest intention of protecting them.
Qin Zhentu saw that his goal had been achieved, so he laughed and continued to play against Wu Tian, as if nothing had happened just now.
On the other side, the Ma family and the Shen family, who were on the cusp of the storm, were in a state of panic at this time.
Ma Sheng and Shen Nan went to Wu Tian's residence again, wanting to ask him to shelter the two families, but they were directly stopped by their subordinates, and they couldn't see Wu Tian's face at all.
"Great Elder, please save us!"
"So far, only the Great Elder can save our two families, and I ask the Great Elder to have mercy on me!"
Ma Sheng and Shen Nan knelt outside Wu Tian's door one after another, shouting loudly inside with desperate faces, obviously desperate.
Because after the news of the assassination of Ye Ye by the two families came out, many disciples of the Shenwu Hall said that they would completely disappear into the closed town in order to maintain the reputation of the Shenwu Palace. It was impossible for the Ma family and the Shen family to withstand the anger of the disciples of the Divine Martial Palace, so they could only pin their hopes on Wu Tian.
The subordinates guarding the door couldn't bear to look at it, so they reported it to them again. After the people came out, they only said lightly to Ma Sheng and Shen Nan: "The Great Elder said, now the only person who can save you is Ye Ye himself, don't bother him anymore!"
After finishing speaking, the subordinates drove Ma Sheng and Shen Nan out.
Ma Sheng and Shen Nan looked at each other and smiled, both seeing the bitterness and helplessness in each other's eyes.
Before, they were instigated by Wu Tian to send someone to assassinate Ye Ye, intending to make him disappear from this world forever, but they didn't expect that after the real accident, Wu Tian turned his face ruthlessly and made it clear that he wanted to draw a line with them.
Although the two didn't know why Wu Tian had changed his attitude, they also knew that they had no choice now. If they can't let Ye Ye and the Ye family calm their anger, I'm afraid that there will be no more Ma family and Shen family in the future.
That night, Ma Sheng, the head of the Ma family, and Shen Nan, the head of the Shen family, came to the Ye family to plead guilty. Ye Tian took Ye Ye and the rest of the Ye family to receive them, but his attitude was very cold, and the hostility in his eyes was undisguised.
Ma Sheng lowered his arrogant head, and said to Ye Tian stubbornly: "Ye family master, we were confused for a while before, and we almost put Ye Yexian's nephew in danger, and today we specially came to bear the guilt, and I also asked the Ye family master and Ye Xian's nephew to let our two families live!"
As long as you promise not to pursue this matter again and let the two families continue to survive, we will promise you everything!"
Shen Nan also lowered his head and pleaded sincerely with Ye Ye, and he no longer dared to show the slightest hostility on his face.
Ye Tian's eyes were cold, and he didn't intend to be merciful because of the whispers of the two.
Because Ye Ye is obviously the hope of the Ye family's rise, and it is also the guardian saint of the Ye family today. And the assassins of the Ma family and the Shen family actually bypassed the Ye family's eyeliner and lurked all the way to Ye Ye's courtyard, although they finally failed to assassinate and were wiped out, they still scared Ye Tian out of a cold sweat.
Ye Tian couldn't imagine the consequences of the Ye family's loss of Ye Ye, so he hated the two of them very much. However, how to deal with this matter ultimately depends on Ye Ye's intentions, so Ye Tian didn't say much except for giving them a cold look.
"You're willing to do anything to protect your family, aren't you?"
Ye Ye didn't intend to ignore the two of them, and waited for the two of them to disappear into the anger of the Shenwu Palace. But now after hearing Shen Nan's words, he suddenly changed his mind and asked coldly at Shen Nan and Ma Sheng.
"That's right, as long as Ye Xian's nephew is willing to forgive our Ma family, even if you let me commit suicide here, I, Ma Sheng, will never complain!"
"Me too, as long as you promise not to hold the Shen family accountable, I, Shen Nan, will let my virtuous nephew fall!"
Ma Sheng and Shen Nan had a glimmer of hope in their hearts, and they scrambled to show their attitude, revealing an expression of looking at death as if they were at home.
However, Ye Ye had no interest in their bitter plan, he just stretched out his hand and said lightly to the two of them: "You each take out 500,000 golden tickets, and this matter will end here." If not, you can wait for the destruction of your family!"
Ma Sheng and Shen Nan were startled by Ye Ye's lion opening, and at the same time were dumbfounded, not knowing how to answer him. Even Ye Tian and the others felt that Ye Ye's request was a little unrealistic, and thought that Ye Ye was really deliberately making things difficult for them, all with an expression of watching a good show.
"Nephew Ye Xian, 500,000 golden tickets are too much, even if our Ma family goes bankrupt, we can't get it. What's more, in order to gain the support of the Great Elder of the Divine Martial Palace, we gave away a huge amount of wealth before, and now it is not an exaggeration to say that we are stretched!"
"Yes, yes, nephew Ye Xian, can you change the conditions?"
Ma Sheng and Shen Nan expressed their refusal with embarrassed faces, which immediately made Ye Ye's interest greatly reduced. Without hesitation, he turned around and planned to leave here directly: "In this case, you can ask for more blessings for yourselves!"
Seeing this, Ye Tian was also about to call someone to send off the guests, Ma Sheng and Shen Nan hurriedly grabbed Ye Ye and pleaded as if grasping the last straw: "Nephew Ye Xian, don't leave yet! Although we can't take it out for the time being, we will definitely find a way to get one million for you in the future." Just hope you give us some time and give us a chance to breathe!"
Seeing that the two of them didn't seem to be pretending to be poor on purpose, Ye Ye was silent for a moment, and finally said to them: "No need, I don't have so much time to wait for you." If the two of you still want to survive, transfer most of the family's property to the Ye family, leaving only a little business to make a living. This is my final bottom line, if you can't do it, just wait for your own death!"
After Ye Ye finished speaking, he left directly, Ma Sheng and Shen Nan saw that Ye Ye's attitude was so resolute, and they knew that there was no other choice.
Although they were extremely unwilling, they could only sign a series of contracts with Ye Tian and transfer most of the two industries to the Ye family, and their assets shrank by at least ninety.
The only thing that made them feel fortunate was that Ye Ye did not kill them all, and even allowed the two of them to have martial arts powerhouses. It's just that from now on, the status of the Ma family and the Shen family in Fengzhen has plummeted, and they are no longer qualified to be called the three major families with the Ye family.
In addition to one hall and three villages, only the Ye family is the only one in the entire town!
However, Ye Ye didn't care about the changes in the power pattern of the feudal town, he only cared about his cultivation progress. After thoroughly refining that bottle of Spirit Source Pill, although Ye Ye's cultivation had increased significantly, he was still a long way from the peak level of the Martial Spirit.
And without the assistance of Lingyuan Dan, just relying on his own cultivation, his speed was greatly reduced, which made Ye Ye feel depressed. In addition, in addition to Ye Ye running the Heavenly Snake Record step by step to absorb the Heaven and Earth Yuan Power, he also needed to spend a certain amount of time studying the martial art Fury Wave Palm, so his cultivation progress was even slower.
When Ye Ye's state lasted for a while, he still couldn't bear the loneliness and went to the Litian Mountain Range again to see if he could try his luck and pick some rare elixirs.
