CHAPTER 026....... SEVEN YEARS LATER

Day, month and years passed, in a blink of eyes seven years passed by.

At this moment, the Great Qin kingdom capital city has become more lively and crowded, different types of cultivator all around the and in the Kingdom including the itinerant cultivator journey to the Capital. Some great sect core disciples started existing seclusion, even those that were outside the kingdom started returning.

A great ranking contest will be held in two days time. Dragon and Phoenix ranking.

At the Ye clan building, inside Ye Xiu abode.

"Young Lord, this are the list of those name you requested for and their current location is also recorded". Liang Chen said slightly and passed Ye Xiu a white slip.

"Thanks". Ye Xiu receive the slip and went through it, after glancing through it, he clenched the slip and destroy it into pieces.

"No one else knows about this?". Ye Xiu asked. Liang Chen shook his head negatively In response with solemn expression.

Despite Liang Chen been two years older than Ye Xiu, the latter wholeheartedly respect and serve Ye Xiu. He had witnessed the mysterious way of Ye Xiu and was even guided in his cultivation. Right now, he has reached the seventh level of Enlighten realm which was unbelievable to him.

Furthermore, he already knew Ye Xiu has attain a sword aura and most especially he was proefficient at refining medicinal pills.

Counting back, it has been fourteen years since Ye Xiu was reborn. His childish face has long vanished revealing his cold indifferent face.

During the past seven years, he had been painstakingly cultivating. Except when he was needed in the family, he use all his time to cultivate and refine batch of top tier heavenly medicine elixir.

His Sword Samsara was still stagnant at the Primal stage which wasn't surprisingly. His desire to create a supreme foundation building realm was fulfilled four years ago and now his cultivation realm has leap by bounds to the initial stage of inner pellets realm which was almost shockingly considering his age.

Furthermore, his sword aura has been practiced to the great mastery stage!.

A Sword Marquis.

"Young lord, Patriarch issued a summon meeting". Liang Chen suddenly said. Ye Xiu narrowed his eyes. "Ohh, why is he summoning me?". Ye Xiu asked.

"Young Lord, you are mistaken. Patriarch ordered a summoning order to you and all the outside Ye member, including those who has joined a sect". Liang Chen explained.

A understanding flashes through Ye Xiu face. Back then in his previous life, he also received a summons order from his father because of the upcoming Dragon and Phoenix ranking.

Ye Xiu stand up and started walking to the family hall while Liang Chen followed behind him. Outside the hall, the once usually quiet place was filled with Ye family members.

Direct bloodline, mixed bloodlines, disciples, servants and so on. The atmosphere was lively and relaxed.

However, the instant Ye Xiu was sighted, all conversation died off as everyone turned to look at him.

There expression was quite strange; curiosity, disdain and jealous.

The lively, relaxed atmosphere sank considerably, too.

Although these gazes were targeted at Ye Xiu, he just stand expressionless.

The real root of the Ye Great Family came from the military, even Ye Wuhen was once title The War king before crowning prime minister. So, strength was all matters in the family but Ye Xiu was different.

It's must that all children will undergo Talent and physique to determine there how talented they were at the age of five but strangely, Ye Xiu wasn't examine giving people that he was not talented and relayed on his father.

But no one dare confront him out of fear of the Patriach, Ye Wuhen. They might have unfavourable thought about him but he's still the Young Lord of the Family.

But then, the white-robed youth strode right up to Ye Xiu, his manner overbearing and arrogant. " Younger brother, long time no see".

Without thinking, Ye Xiu recognize him immediately.

It was his cousin, Ye Chang.

After Ye Chang was reveal as a genius, he attracted many great sect. He received a recommendation letter from the Heavenly Martial Academy, one of the peak academy not under the Royal Palace Decree. He had breakthrough to the ninth level of enlighten realm.

Ye Xiu curled his lips with a smile.."Younger brother? It seems you have forgotten your oat to be my little brother".

One sentence was it that takes Ye Chang expression to black. He almost curse out.

He hadn't forgotten the humiliation he received at Ye Xiu hand.

At small age, Ye Xiu has always acted more matured than him, he felt Ye Xiu didn't regards him as Senior and challenge him into a duel.

But he didn't even last Ye Xiu one strick, and not only that, he was forced to call Ye Xiu big brother by Ye Xiu himself.

The most embarrassing moment was when he broken through to the first qi nurturing stage. He got really arrogance and challenge Ye Xiu immediately, but despite his muscles and body, he wasn't even able to land one hit at Ye Xiu.

But right now, many years has passed and he had become a cultivator genius! Moreover, he was Heavenly Martial Academy Sect master personal disciple!

"Ye Xiu don't act arrogant, i am different now! Let fight, i won't use my full strength. I will show you how stronger i have become". Ye Chang Challenge angrily.

Ye Xiu smile. "Little brother, i don't want to disgrace you infront of many people here".

"Nonsense! You think you can defeat me? Then let fight!". Ye Chang said and take a fighting stance. The atmosphere suddenly turn tense as countless eyes were watching them.

"Who did you think is stronger between two of them?".

"Idiots! Is that a question to ask? Of course it's Senior brother Ye Chang".

"Don't forget he is the personal disciple of Heavenly Martial Academy Sect master, he was even top three at their sect ranking...I also heard he has even broken through to the eight stage of enlighten realm"

"Yes, he is even expected to be rank top ten in the upcoming Dragon and Phoenix battle".

"Did you think Young Lord will accept the challenge?".

"I'm afraid our young lord will have to run away".

The crowd discuss in low voice. The crowd was wondering how Ye Xiu will respond.

However Ye Xiu next action almost make the crowd to puke blood.

"Okay then, since you wish to be teach another lesson". Ye Xiu respond and he pick a long thin cane nearby.

Ye Chang almost cough out blood as black line appear on his face.

Even Liang Chen almost laugh.

"You have gotten too far!". Ye Chang roar angrily as he attack Ye Xiu.

His body burst into strong qi torrent as he march forward, even though he only attack with his palm, the power containing the strike wasn't to be trivial with.

Ye Xiu, facing the attack swung the cane gently as it collided against the palm.

But against all expectation, the thin cane Ye Xiu was holding didn't trembling nor does it shattered into pieces against the palm attack. Ye Chang didn't have time to think as he felt a very sharp pain at his palm, moreover he even retreated back with three steps.

The atmosphere suddenly turned silent and every mind was blank.

Ye Chang was bewildered. Even though he only used thirty percent of his power, it wasn't something any foundation building realm cultivator could deal with. Moreover, he was even recoil back with just a stick!

The most terrify aspect was the pain he felt. Even though he restrain his strength, his physique body was still as strong as it peak!

It's either Ye Xiu realm was slightly lower than his or the same.

Ye Xiu cultivation was hidden.

Ye Xiu smile faintly. In his mind, he has always regards Ye Chang as his brother. Even though Ye Chang always trouble him, he didn't have any malicious feeling towards him. Ye Chang was a straightforward with a good personality.

Just one exchanged has changed the members thought and expression.

"Let fight again". Ye Chang said again. Just as he was about to move, a strong and terrify aura surrounded the surroundings.

"Enough! You should all enter". A deep voice sounded.

"Yes Grand Elder". The crowd answer in unison and started entering the hall. Ye Chang glanced at Ye Xiu and snort before also marching forward.

Ye Xiu just shooked his head bitterly, the cane in his hand disappear as he also march forward with Liang Chen behind him.

The clan hall.

Resplendent lanterns illuminated the entire lavishly decorated space. The Head of the Ye Family, Ye Wuhen, was present, as were the rest of the family higher-ups. They sat on both sides of the hall in order of rank, chatting amongst themselves.

Ye Xiu could feel there glance at him immediately he entered.

It's obviously they were also shock at Ye Xiu strength. As for his hidden realm, they thought probably the Patriach gave him some treasure.

"You should have understand why you all are called here". An old man with slightly heachback stand up and said straightforward.

The Grand Elder!. A spirit projection expert.
