Chapter 7: Who Else Is Not Convinced?
Only at this moment did Yi Dajiang understand, and his face turned extremely displeased.
"I have always wondered how my Nine Yang Body was kept such a secret in my family. Aside from my grandfather, father, and mother, almost no one knew!"
Yi Qianmo looked at him coldly, "But when you were five years old, suddenly everyone in Green Cloud City knew!"
"You are speaking nonsense!"
Yi Dajiang stood up and looked at the others present, "Don’t listen to this little creature. He is accusing me falsely!"
"Accusing you falsely?"
Yi Qianmo said with a smile, "Then how do you know the words Great Yi Sword Technique? Did Grandpa tell you?"
"Yes, yes, yes, it was my older brother who told me."
Yi Dajiang immediately added, "My older brother told me about the sword technique."
"Do you know why I had to join the Yu family and why I returned?"
Yi Qianmo sneered, "Because… I entered the Yu family with the Great Yi Sword Technique. Grandpa said that one day, if I could master the Great Yi Sword Technique, I would return to the family, bring honor back, and avenge my father. So from that moment on, in the entire family, except for me and Grandpa, no one else would know these four words, unless…"
"Unless he heard about the Great Yi Sword Technique from someone outside!"
Yi Tianyang immediately chimed in from the side.
"Don’t listen to him, this little beast is just framing me. He came back to cause trouble, all for revenge, for the grudge of being abandoned by the family for thirteen years!"
Yi Dajiang said, "Someone, Yi Qianmo has disrespected our elders and attacked the clan elder. According to our clan rules, he should have his bones broken and be immediately expelled from the family!"
Several guards of the Yi family looked at him, then at Yi Qianmo, but none of them moved to act.
"Do you all want to rebel?"
Yi Dajiang scanned the crowd, but found that no one was paying attention to him. Instead, in their eyes, there was not only surprise but also disappointment.
"Second Brother, I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person. It turns out you were the one who betrayed the family all those years ago!"
The Third Elder looked at Yi Dajiang with disappointment in his eyes.
"Fine, fine, fine. Since you all won’t take action, I will handle it myself!"
Just as his voice fell, a strong aura surged from Yi Dajiang.
"The peak of the acquired stage!!!"
The Yi family members present could hardly believe it; this pressure was much stronger than that of the Lei family’s black-clothed guard from earlier.
"No, this true energy… it’s like half a foot into the innate!"
Yi Tianyang coughed once and shouted, "Be careful, Qianmo!"
"Clang!"
Yi Dajiang drew his sword from his waist and struck. His true energy gathered and formed, nearly reaching the innate level.
However, when this sword came down, Yi Qianmo raised his sword to block it. The two swords collided, and the sparks lit up the dim hall.
"You are right; the information about you having the Nine Yang Body was spread by me, but I never expected that my Yi family also possessed the Great Yi Sword Technique, which is close to that of the immortals. If several major families hadn’t come to tell me this, I might never have known!"
Yi Dajiang whispered, "Since you are back, then go to the underworld with your dead old father!"
"You old dog!!!!"
Yi Qianmo held his sword and growled, "What did they offer you to betray your own family?"
"Hehe."
Yi Dajiang said coldly, "Several powerful families promised to make me the head of the Yi family. They have put in a lot of effort for this. Today, as long as I kill you and hand over the sword techniques to these families, the Yi family will be mine. Your Grandpa… hehe, he won’t be able to escape!"
Yi Qianmo’s eyes turned red, "What did you do to my Grandpa?"
"When he reaches the underworld, he will personally tell you!"
Yi Dajiang sneered, his inner power growing stronger.
"Clang"
A huge wave of energy surged into the sword, immediately knocking Yi Qianmo back five steps.
A powerful force crashed into Yi Qianmo’s body, causing a trickle of blood to escape from the corner of his mouth.
"If we kill this boy today and support me as the clan leader, and then give his head and the Great Yi Sword Technique to the major families, my Yi family will not only be saved from destruction, but we will also have a place in Green Cloud City!"
Yi Dajiang held the sword, giving everyone a cold glare, "Otherwise… you will accompany him to the grave!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the clan elders in the hall showed signs of hesitation.
"The Second Elder has actually stepped into the realm of innate power."
"If what he says is true, to protect our family, we…"
"So it really is you!" Yi Tianyang clutched his chest, glaring furiously.
"I am only trying to protect our family!" Yi Dajiang responded coldly, "You all need to think carefully; standing with him means the family’s end, but standing with me means not only will the family be safe, but…"
"I do not want to die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a few guests stood behind Yi Dajiang, and after hesitating for a moment, several clan elders also stepped behind him.
Even the Third Elder, who blamed him earlier, took small steps to join them.
"You shameless people!" Yi Tianyang shouted angrily.
"Tianyang, don’t blame us for being heartless. After all, Yi Qianmo killed Lei Yuhu, which is a great disaster for our family. Moreover, our second brother is already half a step to becoming innate. If he becomes innate…" Third Elder mumbled.
Yi Qianmo glanced at them; not everyone chose to step forward; most were still hesitating.
Yi Lingyu stood behind him, tugged at his clothes, and whispered, "Brother… you should… run away quickly."
"What will you do if I leave?"
Yi Qianmo held his sword and turned back to say, "Don’t be afraid, I’ll be here no matter what happens!"
Upon hearing this, Yi Lingyu’s eyes immediately grew teary, and just as she was about to say something, Yi Qianmo looked at her and said, "Trust me!"
"Hmm hmm."
Yi Lingyu instinctively nodded and said, "I will die with my brother."
"What nonsense are you talking? It’s just a half-step innate!"
Yi Qianmo turned around, glanced at everyone, and said, "If you want to form a team, you’d better do it quickly; soon there won’t be any choices left."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. In fact, given the strength Yi Qianmo showed earlier, Yi Dajiang might not be able to stop him, but they didn’t expect that he not only stayed but was so composed.
"Alright, alright, you are indeed as tough as your dead old man. Today, I will send you underground to reunite with him."
Yi Dajiang’s expression turned cold, his energy surged, flowing into his sword.
"It’s sword energy; the Second Elder can actually display the sword energy that only innate experts can use."
He swung his sword down, and the sword’s power was immense, with a weak light flickering on the blade, causing fear among those present.
"Die!"
Yi Dajiang let out a low growl.
Yi Qianmo, beneath the sword, furrowed his brow slightly, holding his dark sword, feeling the essence of swordsmanship he had gained over the past thirteen years.
Just as Yi Dajiang struck down, he raised his hand horizontally, channeling his energy into the sword; it sliced through the air, forming a crescent moon.
"Swoosh."
As the sword fell, a trace of blood appeared on Yi Qianmo’s forehead. "It’s over!"
Everyone present felt no surprise at all; facing an innate master with sword energy, even at the peak of the acquired stage, Yi Qianmo could only submit to defeat.
"What a shame; if you were not born into the direct lineage, perhaps…" Yi Dajiang sheathed his sword, glancing at him with a face full of pity.
But before he could finish his sentence, Yi Qianmo raised his hand to wipe the blood from his forehead. "Perhaps what?"
"How is this possible!"
Seeing this scene, everyone present was astonished, as they clearly saw Yi Qianmo being covered by sword energy.
Especially Yi Dajiang, this strike was his killer move, "How could you possibly dodge the sword… the sword energy…"
But before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck. At that moment, Yi Qianmo moved quickly and lifted his head off his body.
"I don’t need to dodge; I just need to be faster than you!"
Yi Qianmo, holding his head, walked to the main seat and sat down. "Who else is unconvinced?"
