Chapter Forty-Six: A Death Blow
In the early morning of the next day, the Ye family performed martial arts.
It took a full night, and after completely clearing the remnants of the Ning family, Ye Zhentian held a clan meeting.
On the huge martial arts arena, the Ye family was busy up and down, different from before, this time on the edge of the martial arts arena, there was an incense and candle altar, on which many tablets were enshrined, and around the altar, there were more than ten seats, and the seats were all the core high-level of the Ye family.
Ye Zhentian sat in the first place, and other uncles including Ye Honglin sat in the lower position, but Ye Hongjian and Ye Honghai, who were originally only under Ye Zhentian, were not in these seats.
After an hour passed, the entire martial arts arena was finally arranged, and all the Ye family members stood awe-inspiring under the altar, with a white cloth belt tied to their foreheads.
Ye Zhentian stood up from his seat with a heavy face, slowly walked to the center of the altar, and said in a hoarse voice facing the Ye family members under the stage.
"This time, in the face of the Ning family's large-scale attack, if it weren't for your desperate protection, our Ye family, I'm afraid it would have perished, all of you, with the blood of my Ye family's ancestors in your body, protect the Ye family, although it is your duty, but in the face of a strong enemy, you have no intention of surrendering at all, but use your own lives to defend the dignity of our Ye family, again, I, Ye Zhentian, on behalf of the entire Ye family, like you to pay respect!"
Ye Zhentian bowed deeply in front of everyone. The children of the Ye family in the audience looked at the patriarch they respected the most and saluted themselves in person, and suddenly raised their heads one by one, their faces full of pride.
"In this battle, a total of one hundred and twenty-five Ye family disciples sacrificed their lives to protect our Ye family, today, these Ye family disciples, whether they are side or direct, their spirit cards are enshrined on the altar of our Ye family, I, Ye Zhentian, hereby declare that as long as my Ye family saves zĂ i for a day, their spirit cards will always be placed together with the Ye family's ancestors and ancestors, and will be permanently worshiped by the children of my Ye family!"
At this moment, the audience was silent, and everyone looked at the many spirit cards on the altar with tears in their eyes, most of the spirit cards enshrined on the Ye family's altar were only clansmen who had made great contributions to the Ye family, and this time, the Ye family members who sacrificed to defend the Ye family were all enshrined on the altar.
After that, Ye Zhentian led the Ye family to start the memorial ceremony, the entire memorial ceremony lasted for about an hour, and after the ceremony ended, Ye Hongjian and Ye Honghai were also brought up, at the same time, Ye Feng also walked out of the stage and was called to the altar by Ye Zhentian.
As soon as Ye Feng appeared, thunderous applause broke out in the martial arts arena, and everyone looked at the thin young figure on the stage excitedly, and shouted in unison.
"Ye Feng!
Ye Feng glanced at the crowded martial arts arena, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, the children of the Ye family on the martial arts arena now are one-third less than the children of the Japanese clan meeting in the previous stage, most of these people jumped down from the well-equipped city wall in order to protect him, and directly fought face-to-face with the Ning family, whose strength was much more than a large margin!
Ye Feng waved his hand, and the clansmen in the audience suddenly stopped cheering and looked at him quietly.
"The victory of the Ye family is not the credit of me alone, if it weren't for your protection, I, Ye Feng, would not be standing here unharmed, here, I thank you!"
Ye Feng also bowed deeply to everyone on the field.
"With your protection, I can successfully break through my cultivation and defeat those masters of the Ning family, so from now on, it will be up to me Ye Feng to protect all the clansmen of the Ning family, as long as I Ye Feng is here, our Ye family will never be bullied!"
Ye Feng's words once again caused bursts of warm cheers, in the minds of all the Ye family, Ye Feng at this moment was the protector of the Ye family.
After everyone's cheers finally stopped, Ye Zhentian stepped forward with a solemn expression and said loudly: "Although most of the Ye family's children are dedicated to protecting the Ye family, there are also some people who chose to betray when the Ye family faced the crisis of extermination, Ye Honghai, Ye Hongjian, do you know the crime!"
On the altar, Ye Honghai and Ye Hongjian were tied by ropes and knelt in front of everyone.
"Dad, spare your life, the child is wrong, but the child is just thinking about preserving a trace of blood for the Ye family, so that he can make a comeback in the future!" Ye Honghai kept kowtowing with a frightened face.
"Dad, if it weren't for Zhan'er, I wouldn't have taken the risk and chose to join the Ning family, it's no wonder you didn't save Zhan'er that day!" Ye Hongjian sneered, and did not kowtow to Ye Honghai to beg for mercy.
"Stubborn thing, didn't the old man tell you, it was Ye Zhan who insisted on betraying my Ye family, the old man originally sacrificed his life to save him, but he didn't expect that evil animal to have already taken refuge in the Ning family, so he united with the Ye family to pretend to be trapped, and waited until the old man came to the rescue before he made a sneak attack!" Ye Zhentian snorted coldly and said.
"Now that Zhan'er is dead, you don't want to slander as much as you want!" Ye Hongjian retorted with a sad face.
"Beast, is the old man going to deceive you!" Ye Zhentian shouted angrily, his body shook a few times, and he almost fell.
Ye Feng lost no time in stepping forward to support Ye Zhentian, looked at the two uncles with cold eyes, and said, "You are all children of my Ye family, you should know how to deal with defection in battle according to the clan rules!"
"Damn it!"
"Damn it!"
Everyone in the audience immediately roared loudly with righteous indignation, among them, many of their relatives died in the hands of Ye Honghai and Ye Hongjian because they desperately protected Ye Feng.
Ye Feng nodded, but he didn't answer, he was not the head of the family after all, and the power to dispose of the people in the family should still be decided by Ye Zhentian.
"Ye Honghai, it's not a pity to die!" Ye Zhentian's words made Ye Honghai, who kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, completely dumbfounded, and when he rolled his eyes, he was directly frightened.
"Useless things, drag it down, and behead it directly on the main street after the clan meeting!" Ye Zhentian waved his hand mercilessly.
Although he was his own son, he also learned from the torture of those Ye Honghai's henchmen who were arrested that Ye Honghai's plan to betray was not a day or two, and the boss Ye Hongjian was only brought to this point by him many times.
is also his own son, when facing Ye Hongjian, Ye Zhentian was a little unbearable.
"Feng'er, your uncle is eager to save his son after all, otherwise he would not choose to betray my Ye family, it is better to expel him from the Ye family and let him live!"
"But, grandpa!" Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, sighed and said, "Our Ye family was able to survive this catastrophe this time, not because of me, nor because of my father and you, but because of the centripetal force of the entire family, it is precisely because everyone is united with each other that our Ye family will be invincible and defeat the extremely powerful Ning family!"
"Ye Hongjian, as a pivotal figure in the Ye family, should know very well how his words and deeds will affect the Ye family, although it is for Ye Zhan, but he indiscriminately blames my father and you for Ye Zhan's bullying and extermination of ancestors, regardless of the safety of the entire Ye family, and resolutely betrays the Ye family, such a person, staying will only make our Ye family children chill!"
Ye Feng shook his head and looked into the distance with a solemn expression, with a hint of uneasiness in his tone.
"What's more, this catastrophe may have just begun, we all know what a powerful force is supporting the Ning family, maybe it won't be long before my Ye family will face another tragic fierce battle, before that, if we can't completely remove the moths in the Ye family and condense the positive power of the Ye family into a rope, what can we do to deal with the future crisis!"
"Grandpa, you must first settle inside!"
After Ye Feng said these words with a heavy expression, many of the Ye family's disciples in the martial arts arena also nodded.
Ye Zhentian sighed and said: "Feng'er is also reasonable, but after all, your uncle also contributed a lot to this big war, the black oil you saw before was specially purchased and prepared by your uncle, and before that, the entire Ye family was supported by your uncle, if it weren't for your uncle, my Ye family would have collapsed early!"
Ye Zhentian's words also evoked many memories of everyone present, he was right, since Ye Honglin was depressed, the entire Ye family's affairs were basically handled by Ye Hongjian, so he has always had a high prestige among the children of the Ye family, only below him.
"In that case!" Ye Feng frowned, knowing that if he persisted, he was afraid that he would be mistaken by the clansmen for a personal vendetta, so he nodded and said, "Then as Grandpa said, just leave him alive and expel him directly from the Ye family!"
Ye Feng's generosity once again impressed everyone, and Ye Zhentian finally breathed a sigh of relief, if Ye Feng insisted on killing Ye Hongjian, he would have to agree because of the clan rules.
With a wave of one hand, Ye Zhentian directly cut off the rope that bound Ye Hongjian, sighed and said: "From now on, you are not a member of my Ye family, and you don't want to stay in Silver Moon City, I will prepare some luggage and horses to send you on the road, I hope you will behave yourself in the future!"
Ye Hongjian didn't say any words of gratitude, but sneered, and set his eyes on Ye Feng, a trace of murderous intent suddenly flashed in his eyes!
"You killed my Zhan'er, thinking that I would give up and accept my life!" I saw that his figure suddenly burst out, and when he was still a meter away from Ye Feng, his right hand shook, and a large cloud of green mist was released.
"The mist is poisonous!" Ye Feng shouted, and quickly pushed Ye Zhentian away beside him.
"Bang!" With a muffled sound, a silver ball of light suddenly flashed out from Ye Feng's body, and the poisonous mist that rushed to his face was actually blocked by this mysterious silver light cluster, and all of them bounced back.
The poisonous mist reversed and returned, and was sucked into his body by Ye Hongjian, who was caught off guard, in an instant.
"Ah!!" a terrible scream resounded throughout the martial arts arena.
In front of everyone's eyes, Ye Hongjian's entire body decayed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a pool of blood in a moment.
"Erosion of bones and blood scattering!" Ye Zhentian let out a cold sweat, this kind of strange poison is rare, if it weren't for Ye Feng's sacrifice to push him away, without any defense, he would definitely be attacked.
However, this strange poison, as long as a trace is inhaled from the nostrils, it will immediately poison and die, turning into a pool of blood.
"Damn!" Ye Honglin and Ye Hongyan also swept over from their seats at some point.
At this moment, no one had the slightest sympathy for Ye Hongjian's death.
