“Yet we cannot afford to do so!”
Chu Gongyao continued, “The Ye Clan may appear glorious now, but in truth, they only have a mere thirty or forty surviving members. However, our Chu Clan boasts tens of thousands of descendants.”
“Ye Wushuang has already proven that he is capable of madness—madness that would drive him to defy our Five Great Clans and annihilate the Shang Clan.”
“On that day at the Life-and-Death Arena, if you had not knelt, then there would have been only war!”
“If war were to break out again, even if the Qin Clan, Liu Clan, and Xiao Clan were to fight with all their might and ultimately destroy the Ye Clan, our Chu Clan would undoubtedly suffer the greatest losses!”
Upon hearing these words, Chu Tian Shen’s eyes were filled with frustration and reluctance.
He had merely secluded himself for a few months, yet the world outside had undergone earth-shattering changes.
The name Ye Wushuang had suddenly emerged out of nowhere.
After learning everything, he was consumed by an urge to kill Ye Wushuang immediately.
But his father stopped him!
“I do not want you to fight either!” Chu Gongyao sighed, saying, “I fear that if you lose, it would mean certain death!”
At these words, Chu Tian Shen violently shattered the iron stones on his body, stood up, and growled, “I cannot possibly lose to him!”
“But I will not gamble with my son’s life!”
Chu Gongyao, seeing the fury in Chu Tian Shen’s eyes, continued, “The information on Ye Wushuang has already been taken by the Holy Dan Sect and the Heavenly Mechanism Mansion. During this Hundred Kingdoms Martial Contest, the most outstanding disciples of these two dominant forces will hunt down Ye Wushuang.”
“You need not take any risks; he will not survive the Hundred Kingdoms Martial Contest.”
Chu Tian Shen retorted discontentedly, “Father still thinks that I am not as good as him!”
“These concerns are no longer important.”
Chu Gongyao reiterated, “You have always restrained yourself at the ninth level of the Yuanfu Realm, all for the sake of this Hundred Kingdoms Martial Contest—that is your true battlefield. As for Ye Wushuang and the current Ye Clan, they will vanish into thin air once you return from the contest.”
Chu Tian Shen, however, coldly replied, “If I am so afraid of a single Ye Wushuang that I need to avoid him, how can I compare with the monsters of the Seven Great Sects?”
“Father, in this Hundred Kingdoms Martial Contest, I will definitely kill Ye Wushuang with my own hands and compete with the prodigies of the Seven Great Sects. Among the top seven, there must be my name, Chu Tian Shen.”
Seeing his son’s determination, Chu Gongyao could only sigh and say no more.
At the same time, the outstanding geniuses from the various great clans and the exceptional disciples from the Tianyuan of Qingyun Academy were all eagerly preparing for the upcoming Hundred Kingdoms Martial Contest.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, in a courtyard of the Ye Mansion, Ye Wushuang opened the gate, stretched languidly, and asked in surprise, seeing the crowd gathered in front of his courtyard, “What are you all doing here?”
Ye Yunzhe, Ye Qingfeng, Yuan Pengwang, and others were all present.
Ye Yunzhe stepped forward and said with a smile, “The Hundred Kingdoms Martial Contest is no ordinary event. You must be careful when you go.”
“Do you not trust me?”
Ye Wushuang teased, “Compared to me being careful, you all should be the ones to be careful.”
Yuan Pengwang stepped forward and said, “Young master, go ahead. Whoever dares to touch a single hair of the Ye Clan, I, Old Yuan, am not just for show!”
“Deal!”
Ye Wushuang nodded.
With Ye Yunzhe, Yuan Pengwang, and the three Wanfa Realm experts from Chiyuan, as well as Yun Xingjian and Qing Muyuan, the four great clans would not dare to act rashly during this period.
“Alright, stop surrounding me. I will be back in just two or three months.”
Ye Wushuang strode towards the gate of the Ye Mansion.
“Big brother, go for it!”
Ye Feifei squeezed out of the crowd, her small fist clenched in encouragement.
“My big brother is always number one, and this time will be no exception!”
Ye Wushuang walked away with a hearty laugh, “When I return next time, the name of Big Brother will be spread throughout Qingzhou. Little Feifei, you must work hard too!”
In the capital, at Qingyun Academy.
Inside the Tianyuan, on a martial field.
At this moment, the martial field was already filled with dozens of figures.
The academy’s principal, Yun Xingjian, and the four vice-principals, including the two senior advisors, Mu Qianqian and Wei Tiantian, were all present.
In addition, there were also high-ranking members of the four great clans and their descendants.
At this moment, Yun Xingjian and the other senior members of Qingyun Academy were all accompanying a middle-aged man dressed in a blue robe.
