The head of the Yang family took a deep breath and asked, "Old Ancestor, how should we deal with Zhou Yan? We have no power to contend with him."
The Old Ancestor of the Yang family said indifferently, "I have already notified my elder brother to take action. This time, I'll see how long Zhou Yan can remain arrogant."
"Yes, this is our best chance. We can only go all out and bet big."
The Yang family head's tone was filled with expectation.
The Yang family head and the Old Ancestor of the Yang family had been discussing countermeasures, but they couldn't come up with a solution. Therefore, the Old Ancestor of the Yang family sought the Yang family head's help, hoping he could find a way.
"No, my injuries are too severe. It's not suitable for me to take action again, or my injuries will worsen. At this moment, we can only rely on my elder brother." The Old Ancestor of the Yang family sighed.
The Yang family head's heart also filled with worry, but he had no solution.
Zhou Yan was the enemy who killed his son, but he dared not act rashly. After all, Zhou Yan had the Zhou family as his backing. He could not take the risk.
"Old Ancestor, please recuperate well. I will go invite my elder brother. I must get my elder brother to handle this matter."
The Yang family head respectfully bowed to the Old Ancestor of the Yang family, then his figure flickered and disappeared from the spot.
The Old Ancestor of the Yang family, on the other hand, sat cross-legged on the bed and cultivated quietly. He knew this was his only chance. If he could seize this opportunity, his Yang family would have a chance to rise again.
He wanted to use Zhou Yan's strength to elevate the Yang family's status on the Southern Barren Continent, and his eldest son, Yang Hao, did not disappoint, finally stepping into the early stage of the Martial Sovereign realm.
Yang Hao's talent was excellent, even more remarkable than the Old Ancestor of the Yang family's back then. If given enough time, Yang Hao would surely become a peak Martial Sovereign, or even reach the Half-Saint realm.
The Old Ancestor of the Yang family believed that Yang Hao would lead the Yang family into the ranks of the top forces on the Southern Barren Continent, and his own status would rise again.
Yang Hao appeared before Zhou Yan.
"Zhou Yan!"
Yang Hao stared at Zhou Yan, his words squeezed out word by word from between his teeth: "I want revenge for my son."
"Revenge? What revenge do you want for your son?"
A cold smile flickered across Zhou Yan's lips. "Don't talk about the Yang family. The Yang family is already wiped out. Your nephews all died by my hand. The Yang family will cease to exist."
"Bastard!"
The Old Ancestor of the Yang family was furious, pointing at Zhou Yan and shouting, "You little beast, how dare you kill everyone in my Yang family? I will exterminate your entire clan!"
"You've killed so many people, it's time for you to pay with your life."
"Heh, you're still far from being able to kill me." A sinister smile curved Zhou Yan's lips. "Yang Zhiming, today is the day of your demise!"
"Zhou Yan, do you really think I'm afraid of you?" The Old Ancestor of the Yang family snorted coldly.
Yang Hao's face also turned ashen, and he roared, "Useless! Useless! You still haven't dealt with this brat. I warned you long ago, but you wouldn't listen. Let me tell you, I've already requested reinforcements from the Yang family's elder brother, and he promised to arrive within three days."
Upon hearing this, the Old Ancestor of the Yang family frowned slightly, inwardly delighted.
He was not afraid of the Yang family head, but he was afraid of Yang Hao.
If Yang Hao could request reinforcements from the Yang family head, the situation would become completely different.
"Since the Yang family has reinforcements coming, why didn't you say so earlier?"
The Old Ancestor of the Yang family asked in a deep voice.
The Yang family head snorted, "The Yang family's elder brother doesn't want to get involved. After all, our Yang family's feud with Zhou Yan is over. He doesn't need to risk offending a force with a Martial Emperor on its side for the Yang family, so he didn't mention it."
"Since Elder Brother has concerns, I won't say anything more."
A cold glint appeared in the Old Ancestor of the Yang family's eyes. He said coldly, "In this battle, my Yang family must win! My Yang family must become the most powerful family on the Southern Barren Continent!"
The Old Ancestor of the Yang family spoke with firm conviction, as if possessing boundless ambition.
The Yang family head was also extremely excited upon hearing this. He knew that the Yang family was saved.
"Zhou Yan, this time, you won't stop the rise of my Yang family."
"I want you to kneel and beg for forgiveness. I want you to pay your blood debt with blood."
Fierce light radiated from the Yang family head's eyes.
"You're thinking too much!" Zhou Yan's gaze was filled with disdain.
"Is that so?" The Yang family head snorted, "You don't get to decide."
"Do you think you're qualified to make me kneel?"
"You should consider carefully. You are now a prisoner, and our Yang family's reinforcements are also arriving soon."
"The Yang family's reinforcements are not just for me, Zhou Yan, alone."
Zhou Yan's expression was calm.
The Yang family head's pupils contracted, and he immediately had a bad premonition.
He knew that Zhou Yan had the Zhou family, such a colossal power, behind him. That was why he hadn't acted rashly, but waited for reinforcements.
However, his plan had failed because Zhou Yan hadn't followed his script.
"Zhou Yan, do you think the backer behind you can protect you?"
The Yang family head's killing intent grew stronger. He wished he could kill Zhou Yan right now, but his reason told him that it was absolutely not the time.
"I'd like to know, Yang Hao, how can he protect me?"
Zhou Yan spoke calmly, his face devoid of any fear.
"You should know the strength of our Yang family," the Yang family head said with a cold laugh.
"You guys? Heh..." Zhou Yan shook his head dismissively and said disdainfully, "You're not even worthy of being my teeth-fillers! Behind me stands a Half-Saint!"
Half-Saint?
Zhou Yan's words instantly sent shockwaves through the hearts of the Old Ancestor and the Yang family head.
Could there really be a Half-Saint level being in this world?
Doesn't that mean his backer is a legendary Half-Saint?
In an instant, the heads of the Yang family head and Yang Hao exploded!
"Zhou Yan, you don't need to scare me." The Yang family head's face turned ashen, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Our Yang family has its foundations, and we also have an elder at the Martial Saint realm. Even if you truly have a Half-Saint expert behind you, I don't believe you can survive for five breaths in front of that Half-Saint master."
"Hahaha..."
Zhou Yan threw his head back and laughed, his mocking expression intensifying.
"I'd like to see if you're bragging. Do you really think Yang Hao is my opponent?"
The Yang family head's expression fluctuated between anger, jealousy, and intense greed, yet he dared not act rashly.
"Don't worry, your father will be killed by Yang Hao soon."
