Yun Xingjian said with a smile, “The Hundred Nations Martial Contest has been held so many times, and there has always been one rule in place!”
Oh?
Ye Wushuang listened attentively.
“During the Hundred Nations Martial Contest, killing is the fastest way to earn points. The top seven in points are the final seven, known as the Seven Heroes of Qingzhou.”
“Then, based on the amount of points each person has, they are ranked, and they choose the rewards they want in the order of their ranking!”
“This is the rule, but above this rule, there is another one that almost no one mentions because it is almost impossible to achieve!”
Ye Wushuang looked at Yun Xingjian.
What was this old fox thinking?
“If the first place winner’s points exceed the total points of the six people behind them, then… all seven treasures will belong to the first place winner!” Yun Xingjian said with a smile.
“Is there such a good thing?” Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but exclaim.
Yun Xingjian’s smile froze slightly.
This kid…
He had thought that upon hearing this, Ye Wushuang would surely say something to decline the offer.
For example, “Dean, you’re too kind. I’d be happy just to make it into the top seven.”
But Ye Wushuang actually said, “Is there such a good thing?”
Yun Xingjian couldn’t help but say, “I know you can kill someone at the first tier of the Tiangang Realm, but those are the Tiangang and Yuanfu Realm cultivators within the Qingyun Empire. In the Hundred Nations, there are many empires with deeper foundations and stronger powers.”
“Those heavenly talents from other empires can also easily kill above their level.”
“And most importantly, the Yuanfu Realm geniuses from the seven major powers can easily dominate over Qingyun Academy’s talents like Shang Gufeng and Liu Yiyu.”
Ye Wushuang, however, just smiled and said, “At the same level, I can dominate too.”
This left Yun Xingjian speechless.
“The Hundred Nations Martial Contest is held every four years. The rules may change slightly, but the general direction won’t. Prepare well,” Yun Xingjian said.
“Okay,” Ye Wushuang replied.
Learning from Yun Xingjian that the disciple with the most points could take all seven treasures if they exceeded the combined points of the other six, Ye Wushuang felt even more motivated.
Returning to the Ye Mansion, Ye Wushuang began to make preparations…
Watching Ye Wushuang leave, Yun Xingjian couldn’t help but scratch his head.
Just then, Li Changqing arrived.
“Changqing, you came just in time,” Yun Xingjian called out to Li Changqing. “Do you know what that brat said just now when I told him that if he ranked first and his points exceeded the sum of the points of the six people behind him, he could take all the rewards?”
“Hmm?”
“He actually said, ‘Is there such a good thing?'” Yun Xingjian said with a helpless expression. “I didn’t even mention that since the Hundred Nations Martial Contest began, no one has ever achieved this!”
Li Changqing couldn’t help but laugh bitterly and said, “This guy is an anomaly!”
“What do you want with me?” Yun Xingjian asked.
Li Changqing then said, “The people from Lingjian Mountain have arrived and say they want to discuss some matters regarding the disciples from the Qingyun Empire who will participate in the assessment…”
“Let’s go!”
The Qingzhou continent, at its core, is named Qingzhou. The Hundred Nations’ territories are located around the four sides of Qingzhou. Therefore, every time the Hundred Nations Martial Contest is about to begin, the seven major powers, as the organizers, are also responsible for notifying the many empires within their respective territories to get ready.
The Qingyun Empire is located in the northern part of the Qingzhou continent, and in the northern part of Qingzhou stands one of the seven major powers, Lingjian Mountain. It has always been the warriors from Lingjian Mountain who have been in contact with the Qingyun Empire regarding related matters.
However, these matters have little to do with Ye Wushuang.
Returning to the Ye Mansion, Ye Wushuang once again began to cultivate in peace.
At the Fifth Tier of the Yuanfu Realm.
He did not plan to advance in the next half month, but instead, he would use all the time to recover from his injuries, so that he could participate in the Hundred Nations Martial Contest without any hidden dangers.
In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.
On this day, within the Imperial Capital, a bustling market was surrounded by decorations and lanterns everywhere.
In every street and alley, people were talking excitedly.
Today was the day the Ye Clan was moving into their new residence!
The former residence of the Shang Clan had now been replaced with a plaque reading “Ye Mansion.”
The warriors from the Dark Soul Palace had also changed into Ye Clan warriors.
The Ye Clan, which had been annihilated five hundred years ago, had now risen from the ashes, replacing the Shang Clan and becoming one of the five major clans in the Imperial Capital.
After being renovated, the former Shang residence was even more magnificent and imposing than before. On both sides of the main gate, dozens of Yuanfu Realm experts, all dressed in the Ye Clan’s guard uniforms, stood proudly.
Ye Yunzhe, Ye Qingfeng, Ye Wushuang, Yuan Pengwang, Xu Yuntian, Tian Chengwen, as well as Ye Feifei and Liu Yuemei, the core members of the Ye Clan, were all present.
Including the more than thirty Ye Clan members that Ye Wushuang had brought back from the Qingtian Mountains, led by Ye Ming, Ye Bin, and Ye Yun, also appeared in public.
In front of the mansion’s main gate.
Voices kept ringing out.
“From the Qingyun Empire, Lord Zhen Shan Wang Qing Shanya comes to congratulate!”
“From the Qingyun Empire, Lord Zhen Hai Wang Qing Pengzheng comes to congratulate!”
“From the Qingyun Academy, Elder Tang Chuyi comes to congratulate!”
“…”
Voices kept echoing, with people from various forces and warriors coming one after another.
The onlookers were also chattering non-stop.
“The Ye Clan was annihilated years ago, and now it has risen again…”
“Fortunes turn in a cycle. Who could have thought the Ye Clan would be destroyed back then? And now, who could have imagined the Ye Clan would rise again?”
“Yeah, that’s right…”
“I see that many people from the royal family and the Qingyun Academy have come to congratulate. I guess the people from the four major families must be the most uncomfortable right now?”
“This Ye Wushuang, he must be the reincarnation of Ye Wentian. It’s too eerie…”
“Who says not…”
This time, the move to the new residence was planned by Ye Yunzhe, Yuan Pengwang, and a few others, and was made to be very grand.
According to Ye Yunzhe’s idea, they wanted everyone to know that the Ye Clan of old had returned!
Today, Ye Wushuang was still dressed in white, greeting everyone who came, whether he knew them or not.
The current Ye Clan had Ye Yunzhe, a veteran Wanfa Realm cultivator, as their mainstay, and… Yuan Pengwang had broken through!
Back to the Wanfa Realm!
One major family, two Wanfa!
This was a combination that none of the four major families had!
The various small and medium-sized forces within the Imperial Capital also knew that the winds had shifted, and some of them began to get closer to the Ye Clan.
Naturally, Ye Wushuang welcomed everyone who came.
However, while some were happy, others were sorrowful.
The Ye Clan’s side was bustling with activity.
But in front of the four major families’ residences, it was desolate and quiet.
Inside the Chu Mansion!
Chu Tian Shen was now in a courtyard, supporting himself with his hands on the ground, with ten iron stones heavier than ten thousand jun resting on his back.
Drip, drip, the sweat fell and wet the ground, but Chu Tian Shen remained motionless.
With a creak, the courtyard gate opened, and Chu Gongyao, dressed in a long robe, walked in at this moment.
“Still angry with your father?”
Chu Gongyao looked at his son, who was using this method to vent his anger, and couldn’t help but give a bitter smile.
“I dare not, Father!”
Chu Tian Shen had been staying within the Chu Clan these past few days and hadn’t gone out.
Even without going out, he knew that the entire Imperial Capital must have been buzzing with the news of him kneeling down and apologizing to Ye Wushuang.
He couldn’t bear the humiliation!
“Ye Wushuang is now a desperate man. As the saying goes, those with nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have everything to lose. He can afford to take risks!” Chu Gongyao suddenly said.
