Chapter 70: Why Not Write a Challenge Letter?

The main hall of the Ye Residence was silent.

Many high-ranking members wore solemn expressions, including Ye Qingcang.

"Second Brother, you have quite the nerve!" Ye Lingtian looked at Ye Feng with great astonishment.

They didn't know exactly how powerful the Wanxian Tower was, but just the countless immortal martial artists were enough to make them feel intimidated. Yet, Ye Feng had even abducted the saintess.

It was unimaginable.

No wonder the Ye family had suffered terrifying suppression in the past, with numerous casualties among the warriors.

No wonder Ye Qingcang had to suppress Ye Feng and not allow him to emerge.

If news of Ye Feng's return and attainment of Martial Emperor leaked out again, the situation would be disastrous. If the Wanxian Tower found out, the Ye family would surely face destruction.

It would be better to disband the family before that happened.

Ye Qingcang was determined to disband the Ye family due to the terror of the Wanxian Tower.

Once again, Ye Feng returned and reached the Martial Emperor realm. This matter could definitely not be kept secret. If the Wanxian Tower found out, the Ye family would be doomed.

All fell silent. They knew what the Ye family would face, and disbanding might indeed be the only solution.

"The Ye family doesn't need to disband," Ye Chen spoke up.

Instantly, all eyes fell on Ye Chen. Ye Qingcang said, "Son, an immortal martial artist is beyond the Ye family's ability to contend with."

"Just an immortal martial artist. Give me three years, and I dare say even immortal martial artists will bow down," Ye Chen said casually.

An immortal martial artist was nothing in his eyes. With the resources of the Alchemy Pavilion, Ye Chen was confident that he could break through to the Myriad Manifestations Realm within three years and return to the world of immortal martial arts within five years.

Ziqiong was still waiting for him.

Just an immortal martial artist!

Ye Qingcang pondered for a moment and said, "Even so, what if the Wanxian Tower comes looking for trouble within these three years?"

"Dust Young Master, should the Alchemy Pavilion intervene?" Wu Qingxue, who was beside him, spoke.

The strength of the Alchemy Pavilion was not inferior to that of the Wanxian Tower. If Ye Chen needed it, her grandfather would certainly be willing to help.

Ye Chen shook his head. This was a matter for the Ye family to resolve on their own.

As the Emperor of Infinity, he didn't need to rely on others.

"If the Wanxian Tower comes looking for trouble, why not write a challenge letter? Let them know that the Ye family will welcome them in three years," Ye Chen said calmly and proudly.

For a force like the Wanxian Tower, holding back from accepting a challenge would be a loss of face.

Ye Qingcang and the others were shocked.

Issue a challenge to the Wanxian Tower!

This was something they had never dared to imagine.

With the storm in the empire completely settled, the common people finally breathed a sigh of relief at dawn, and various rumors began to spread.

Ye Chen's genius, Wu Qingxue's strength, and the formidable enemies mentioned by the Ye family, as well as the North Frost Palace, became the subjects of discussion throughout the empire.

On the contrary, Ouyang Mo, who was about to ascend the throne, was ignored by many.

In the imperial palace, Ouyang Mo couldn't wait to put on the yellow robe and sit on the dragon throne, but instead of showing joy, he appeared solemn.

"Lord Ouyang, how do you think the Ye family should be rewarded?" Ouyang Tian looked down at Ouyang Mo.

Ouyang Tian's expression was calm, and he looked at Ouyang Mo. "Is Your Majesty worried?"

Ouyang Mo's expression showed concern, and he sighed, "Ye Chen's unparalleled genius, his martial attendant can slay Martial Emperors, and rumors abound that I only ascended to the throne because Ye Chen allowed it. It seems that the Xuan Tian Empire may change its surname at any time."

Ouyang Zhen and Ouyang Qingyun's expressions changed slightly.

Could it be that His Majesty harbored murderous intentions after ascending the throne?

It seemed that sensing their emotions, Ouyang Mo shook his head and said, "No need to worry. I know the Ye family well. They wouldn't dare to touch them. But this worry may never be dispelled."

Even with Wu Qingxue as a Martial Emperor, Ouyang Mo would never dare to move a finger.

He was very clear about this.

However, his position on the throne would always be threatened, and how could he be at ease?

Today, Ye Chen didn't lay a finger on the throne, but if he ever became interested or if someone from the Ye family wanted the throne, could he still keep his position?

This worry troubled him greatly.

"Your Majesty."

Ouyang Tian stood up, his old face looking extremely solemn, making Ouyang Mo stand up straight as well.

"May I dare to ask, how does the Xuan Tian Empire compare to the North Frost Palace?"

"The Xuan Tian Empire is on earth, while the North Frost Palace

 is in the sky," Ouyang Mo replied without hesitation.

"Since Your Majesty understands, you should be at ease."

Ouyang Tian said seriously, "The Ye family has produced a dragon, and Ye Chen has slain Martial Emperors before the age of seventeen. Ye Shuixian broke through to the True Martial Realm before the age of seventeen. Such achievements are unparalleled in the history of the Xuan Tian Empire. Such individuals would never care about this tiny realm; their ambitions lie in the vast sky outside."

"Moreover, the Ye family doesn't even care about the North Frost Palace, let alone the Xuan Tian Empire!"

Ouyang Mo's eyes lit up, as if the clouds of worry had dissipated at this moment.

What Ouyang Tian said was right.

He shouldn't judge Ye Chen's intentions based on his own perspective.

If the Ye family didn't even care about the North Frost Palace, why would they care about a small kingdom?

What you see as a precious throne may just be dust in their eyes.

"The ambition of an eagle, how can a sparrow understand? I understand!" Ouyang Mo's heart was completely at ease. He was just a sparrow, while Ye Chen was an eagle. Their worlds were completely different.

All he could do was show his stance.

The next day.

Ouyang Mo ascended the throne and rewarded his courtiers.

Ye Chen was awarded the title of Protector Duke and given the title of a prince with a different surname. Tianyao City was granted as his fief, permanently bestowed upon the Ye family.

The Ye family didn't need to pay tribute or offer sacrifices!

Such high honors shocked many courtiers.

However, the Ye family seemed indifferent. Not a single member of the family attended the ceremony for the bestowal of titles and honors. It was as if they were telling Ouyang Mo that the Ye family would not appear in the court of the Xuan Tian Empire.

This made Ouyang Mo even more reassured.

As Ouyang Mo ascended the throne and the Ye family was bestowed with the highest honors, news of the events in the Xuan Tian Empire reached the North Frost Palace.
