The Ye family has indeed been passed down for hundreds of years, there's no denying that, as it's also a fact.
The Ye family was once one of the hidden families, but for some unknown reason, they transitioned from seclusion to the public sphere, developing into what they are today.
The Zhenwu Qin family is also one of the hidden families.
Hidden families are no different from other families. If there is any distinction to be made, it is that these families are all martial arts families, and each family possesses top-tier powerhouses, and not just a few.
It is precisely for this reason that these families gradually faded from people's sight, operating outside their view, mainly out of fear that these families might stir up trouble that would be difficult to resolve.
As a former hidden family, the Ye family possessed countless masters, and consequently, other families naturally would not oppose them. If they angered the Ye family, any other family could be annihilated at any moment.
"Does the Ye family have a Saint realm?"
Ye Longlin suddenly asked, causing Ye Nantian's expression to flicker.
Ye Longlin's cultivation had now been exposed: the peak of the Dao realm, embodying the principle of 'great Dao is simple.' Even in the capital, he was a top-tier powerhouse. In fact, among the hidden families, no one would be willing to offend such an existence.
After all, the peak Dao realm cultivation was the pinnacle of the martial path. Even though the Saint realm existed above it, what of it?
As long as it wasn't a Saint realm expert who personally acted, no one could deal with him. It could even be said that as long as the Saint realm did not intervene, he was the benchmark of the martial path.
A publicly acknowledged peak Dao realm expert was someone no one dared to provoke casually.
Ye Longlin's question carried a double meaning. If your Ye family had no Saint realm experts, then your Ye family was destined for annihilation, and the peak Dao realm would not be able to stop me.
If your Ye family did have a Saint realm expert, then it would simply be a matter of the world.
Ye Longlin, at less than thirty years old, had achieved the peak Dao realm; his talent was undeniable. Once he became a Saint realm expert, the Ye family would still be annihilated!
Therefore, Ye Nantian's expression was not pleasant.
The best course of action would be to enlist a Saint realm expert to act at this juncture, to forcefully eliminate Ye Longlin and cut off the root of trouble!
"Guess for yourself?"
Ye Nantian's expression returned to normal, and he chuckled with a calm tone.
Ye Longlin said nothing, a playful smile appearing on his lips, as they looked at each other in silence.
"Next, I plan to destroy the Martial Arts Association. If your Ye family wishes to make a move, feel free to do so."
After speaking, Ye Longlin turned and left.
Watching his receding back, a strong killing intent appeared in Ye Nantian's eyes, not concealed at all.
Turning, he looked at Ye Guohui's gravestone and let out a cold laugh, "Big brother, oh big brother, you are truly remarkable. You died, and yet you actually cultivated a peak expert like Ye Longlin. Truly worthy of you."
A gust of wind swept past.
Looking at Ye Guohui's photograph from top to bottom, he seemed to be smiling?
Ye Nantian truly wanted to smash his gravestone, but he didn't have the courage.
This was the capital's cemetery, not a place where he could act recklessly.
If he dared to destroy even a single blade of grass here today, the Ye family would become history tomorrow.
At the entrance.
The moment Ye Longlin stepped out, he saw a crowd gathered on the square outside, and immediately frowned.
"What's going on?"
Calculating the time, Zhang Zihao should not have finished kowtowing a thousand times yet, and he should still be here. Yet, he wasn't seen now.
Could he have run away?
Thinking of this possibility, Ye Longlin narrowed his eyes.
"Reporting to General Ye, about ten minutes after you went in, a motorcade arrived. It was from the Zhang family, one of the Ten Great Families. The Zhang family arrived and occupied this place. Many people were watching the spectacle, and then things escalated to this point."
Ye Longlin's eyebrows shot up. Oh, it even involved the Zhang family? How interesting.
"Alright, I know."
After exiting, Ye Longlin handed the car keys to Mu Hanqi and said, "Wait for me in the car for a moment, I'll be right there."
Mu Hanqi nodded obediently.
Only then did Ye Longlin walk towards the center of the scene.
In the center, Zhang Zihao was hugging an old man's leg and crying his eyes out, tears and snot streaming down his face.
"Grandpa, woo woo woo, you must avenge me! He made me kowtow a thousand times and made me repent here. Look at how he beat me up! I am your grandson, you know! Even if he doesn't consider my father's face, he should at least consider yours! This is disrespecting you! Woo woo woo woo."
Zhang Zihao wailed mournfully, completely oblivious to his own wrongdoing. He felt that everything was Ye Longlin's fault. If Ye Longlin hadn't intervened, he wouldn't have had to kneel here.
Zhang Fuyi looked at Zhang Zihao with a dark expression, his old face flushed with shame.
He, the dignified member of the Zhang family, was kneeling and kowtowing here. Did the Zhang family have any face left?
"What was the other person's name, and what did he look like?" Zhang Fuyi asked with a dark expression.
Zhang Zihao shook his head, "I don't know."
"Dad, you can't blame him for this matter. It's entirely Zhang Zihao's fault. You shouldn't..."
"I don't care whose fault it is. The person who hit my Zhang family member is at fault. Regardless of whose problem this is, in short, my Zhang family cannot possibly kneel here like this! You two, don't tell me you don't know who the other person is?"
Zhang Fuyi asked with a cold face, looking at the two good-for-nothings in front of him, feeling a surge of anger.
The other party had beaten them to this state, and they still didn't know who it was? What were they if not useless?
Neither of them spoke. Instead, Zhang Zihao paused for a moment before continuing to wail, "Grandpa, you must avenge me! Woo woo woo, he's inside. Take your men and drag him out! Woo woo woo."
Hearing Zhang Zihao's words, Zhang Fuyi's face turned black. Damn it, was this a place he could just enter?
Let alone him, which of the Ten Great Families could enter?
It seemed none of them could, right?
"So, how do you wish to take revenge?"
Suddenly, a voice rang out. Everyone turned to look and saw Ye Longlin standing to the side, asking with amusement.
"It's him! It's this beast! Grandpa, it's this beast who beat me! I want to tear him into a thousand pieces! I want to skin him and draw his tendons!"
Zhang Fuyi turned his head, feeling that the person in front of him looked familiar.
Furthermore, anyone who could enter this place was no ordinary person. If he were truly such an ordinary person, he wouldn't have committed violence here.
"Who are you, sir, and why did you lay such a cruel hand on my grandson? Where did my grandson offend you?"
Zhang Fuyi asked with a dark expression.
"I have no false name and no false surname. Ye Longlin."
