Upon hearing this, Qin Yongda spoke with unwavering confidence, “If it were merely to restore the honor of our Qin family in Liuyue City, the main clan would never pay us any mind. Compared to the entire clan, our Liuyue City Qin family is but a drop in the ocean, insignificant in the grand scheme of things.”
“But…” Qin Yongda looked at the people present and continued, “This morning, Ye Wushuang was on the brink of death, yet now he has reached the fifth level of the Physical Training Realm. His Ye Mansion is nothing more than an old, dilapidated residence of the Yun family. How could it possibly have an array?”
“If we report these circumstances to the main clan, would they not be intrigued? The once-mighty Ye clan in the capital, now reduced to living in Liuyue City and on the verge of collapse, has suddenly produced a genius. With these unusual occurrences, wouldn’t the main clan be tempted to investigate?”
At these words, the eyes of everyone present brightened.
How formidable the Ye clan had once been! No other major family in the capital could rival them. They had fallen into decline, and everyone thought they had lost everything. Even the Yun family, after supporting the Ye clan for three years, had eventually given up on them.
But now, with this sudden turn of events, who wouldn’t be curious?
There was a possibility that the Ye clan still possessed some divine weapons or treasures. The main clan could not possibly remain indifferent to that.
Qin Shanming stood up at this moment and said, “Brother, this strategy of killing with a borrowed knife is truly brilliant!”
Qin Yongda sighed and replied, “I have no other choice. If I could break the great array, I would kill Ye Wushuang right now to avenge my fourth and third brothers!”
Everyone present sighed deeply…
At this moment, within the Ye Mansion in Liuyue City.
Ye Wushuang’s face was slightly pale as he sat cross-legged on a bluestone in the backyard. After a long while, he finally exhaled, opening his eyes.
Injecting the power of the Four Spirits Heavenly Palace Saint Array into his body to boost his strength by three levels in a short time had been an immense strain on his physical body. It was only now that Ye Wushuang had finally recovered his strength.
Xiao Yuan stood not far from Ye Wushuang, silent.
After this battle, Liu Yuemei, Ye Qingfeng, and Ye Feifei had all come to the conclusion that Ye Wushuang was indeed capable of protecting the Ye clan, which brought them a great sense of relief.
Although they were confined to the Ye Mansion for now and could not go out, hadn’t they been living like this for years?
Once outside the mansion, they would face the scorn, pity, or ridicule of others. It was far better to stay within the tranquility of the residence.
“I didn’t expect that this dilapidated Ye Mansion still had an array that could cause such severe damage to those at the Meridian Condensation Realm. It couldn’t have been you who set it up, could it?” Xiao Yuan asked tentatively.
Ye Wushuang smiled and replied, “Why couldn’t it have been me?”
“With your limited spiritual energy at the fifth level of the Physical Training Realm, even if you have condensed a fair number of array patterns, it doesn’t mean you can fully integrate them into an array. Setting up an array depends not only on the number of array patterns but also on the strength of a martial artist’s vital energy, spirit, and willpower.”
Hearing this, Ye Wushuang regarded Xiao Yuan with newfound respect.
Ye Wushuang then changed the subject and said, “The reason you went berserk is because of the bloodline within you—the Hantian Magic Ape bloodline. This is a true saint beast bloodline, and even at the eighth level of the Physical Training Realm, you cannot suppress it. I’m just curious, how did you come to possess such a bloodline?”
The path of martial arts is full of wonders and endless possibilities.
A bloodline is a special ability passed down through generations from an ancestor who had extremely strong talent and formidable power, hidden within the blood.
This special ability does not manifest in every descendant, nor does every descendant awaken the bloodline power.
However, once the bloodline power is awakened, one is destined to become an unparalleled powerhouse!
Xiao Yuan looked at Ye Wushuang and said, “There are some things I think it’s better to lay out completely.”
“I come from the Xiao clan in the capital. The Xiao clan… is a top-tier family in the capital, just like the Ye clan many years ago. However, I am a concubine-born child, yet I unexpectedly awakened the bloodline of the Xiao clan’s patriarch—the Hantian Magic Ape bloodline you mentioned.
“A concubine-born child awakening a bloodline that even many legitimate children couldn’t is a great boon for the family. But it’s a great disaster for those legitimate children. So… some people wanted me dead.
“The Soul-Devouring Hall also received a secret bounty from some members of the Xiao clan in the capital to capture me. But since you took me away, in the future… perhaps the Xiao clan will come after you.”
Xiao Yuan continued, “When you asked me earlier if I wanted to leave, the truth is, I have nowhere else to go. Now, I should lay everything out. If I stay by your side, I will bring you immense trouble.”
