Chapter 2 Twelve years ago

The human world, the Ye Family Mansion.

In the center of the mansion, a huge hall stands out. It is heavily guarded and gives off a solemn atmosphere. It is the meeting hall where the Ye family discusses various matters.

At this moment, there was a dense crowd of people standing in front of the meeting hall. The crowd was pointing and talking, as if they were watching something lively.

Sitting in the spacious lobby were three middle-aged men wearing brocade robes.

The person on the left, named Ye Aozhan, is the second head of the Ye family. He has his eyes closed at the moment and seems to have no interest in what is going on in the hall.

The person on the right is thin and has a stern face. A ferocious scar at the corner of his eye makes him even more stern. It is Ye Aojian, the third head of the Ye family. He is looking down the hall with a slight frown on his brows.

The man in the middle is tall and tall, and his eyes slowly glance towards the hall. His eyes are moving with an unconcealable domineering power. Anyone caught by his gaze will involuntarily feel palpitations and horror in their hearts, as if everything has been penetrated by someone, without any traces.

The slightest resistance.

This person is the current helmsman of the Ye family, a giant who ranks among the best in the entire human world - Ye Aotian!

In the center of the lobby, stood a young man in white clothes. The young man's face was as handsome as a crown jewel, but his eyes were somewhat feminine.

At this time, the young man's white clothes were quite dirty, and there was a deep tooth mark between his neck and the edge of the tooth mark, with a few streaks of light red blood seeping out. The young man was gritting his teeth and glaring fiercely at the person next to him.

people.

Next to him, a young man knelt down on the ground. The coarse linen gown on his body was in tatters, his clothes and hair were messy, his head was bowed deeply, his exposed hands and feet were covered with bruises, and there were many bloody marks from being scratched by something.

With his hands on his thighs, his body was shaky, as if he would collapse at any moment.

"Cough." A slight cough came out, and the originally noisy lobby immediately became quiet. This shows that the person who made the sound has a high status and prestige in the Ye family.

"Okay, Ye Xiang, tell me carefully what is going on." After suppressing the restlessness in the hall, Ye Aotian asked.

"Yes, father." The young man in white bowed his hands to Ye Aotian, and then continued: "This morning, the disciple rushed to the martial arts field to practice. He passed by Ye Zihan's wing and happened to see him playing alone, so he called him

I asked him to go to the martial arts field to practice with me, so that he can improve his strength as soon as possible and bring glory to the family in the future."

Speaking of this, Ye Xiang suddenly paused and said hesitantly: "Who would have thought that not only would he not appreciate it, he would even disdain to say it?"

"What did you say?" Ye Aotian raised his eyebrows.

"He said that no matter how hard we practice, we will never be able to compare with the disciples of the other four tribes. Otherwise, the Ye family would not have to be the last of the five tribes."

"presumptuous!"

Ye Aotian stood up angrily. The Ye family had been reduced from the head of the five clans to the last. He had always been against him, but since he took over the family, the Ye family's cultivation bloodline seemed to have dried up and was reborn.

Most of his disciples have mediocre talents, and it is difficult to improve their cultivation. Over the past few decades, due to the rare emergence of peak experts, the Ye family has been gradually put at a disadvantage by the other four clans. However, for something that is rare, such as talent, Ye Aotian

There is nothing that can be done except urging the disciples in the clan to practice diligently.

"Since you know that your family has become the last of the five clans, why are you so unwilling to make progress? It's fine that you don't want to make progress in your situation, but what qualifications do you have to talk nonsense! A waste that doesn't even have the source of the Five Elements, except for using

Besides making the family a laughing stock, what else have you done? You still have the face to make irresponsible remarks!"

Ye Aotian's angry words made everyone in the hall stay silent, not even daring to breathe for fear of getting angry and burning themselves.

Only Ye Xiang saw the opportunity and interjected: "Exactly, the disciple also feels that Ye Zihan's words are too much. If he just insulted one disciple, the disciple is stupid and talented and could bear it, but he insulted the entire family, which is really unforgivable.

That’s why the disciple took action with anger and taught him a lesson, but the action was too harsh and I hope the master of the family will forgive me.”

Ye Aotian waved his hand: "You can't blame him for this. It's all his own fault. What's more, people are destined to die, and they don't die that easily."

After a slight pause, Ye Aotian continued: "I was originally considering whether to let you participate in the family trial in ten days. Since you are so conceited, I will let you participate."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the hall, and all the disciples were whispering to each other.

In the hall, Ye Aozhan, who was sitting on the left side, suddenly opened his eyes, but then slowly closed them again after a moment.

Ye Aojian, who was on the right, frowned and said: "Brother, this is too difficult for others. The family trial is extremely dangerous and dangerous. If you participate with Zihan's strength, you will undoubtedly have a narrow escape!"

Ye Aotian waved his hand: "It is clearly written in the clan rules that all disciples in the clan who are over twelve years old must participate in the family trials. Although Ye Zihan has extraordinary talent, he is not an exception. After all, the clan rules cannot be violated.

"

After saying that, Ye Aotian turned to look at Ye Aozhan on the left and asked, "Second brother, do you have any objection?"

Ye Aozhan's eyes were still closed, as if he had not heard Ye Aotian's words and had no reaction at all.

Ye Aojian's mouth moved again, but he didn't say anything.

Based on his understanding of Ye Zihan, he knew that the latter would never say such treacherous words, and it was probably because of Ye Xiang's frame-up.

However, Ye Xiang has good talent in cultivation and is highly praised by the disciples and elders of the clan. He is also the son of his eldest brother Ye Aozhan, and Ye Aozhan is famous for protecting his shortcomings. All these factors have led to Ye Xiang's arrogance and arrogance in the clan.

Zhong Feiyang was used to being domineering, but now that he said these words with dignity, even if everyone was suspicious, they didn't say anything.

Ye Aozhan, who was protecting his shortcomings, directly convicted Ye Aozhan without even asking. Although Ye Aozhan wanted to help, he was unable to do anything because Ye Aozhan had changed the clan rules. Moreover, Ye Aozhan, who was Ye Aozhan's father, was also aware of this matter.

He didn't care, and he couldn't care less. He could only shake his head helplessly.

In fact, Ye Yehan is also a smart and intelligent person, but he just doesn't have the Origin Qi of the Five Elements, which is a pity.

When the child was born, strange phenomena appeared in the sky. The originally calm sky suddenly became turbulent, with strong winds and rain, violent thunder and lightning. Such strange signs once made everyone think that the Ye family was about to give birth to a gifted child.

With his unique bloodline, Ye Aotian once excitedly believed that the birth of this son was a symbol of the Ye family's re-emergence!

However, when Ye Zihan took the Qi test at the age of five, all hopes were shattered.

When Ye Zihan removed his palm from the cold Five Elements Stone, the dull Five Elements Stone cruelly told everyone that Ye Zihan was not a genius, but a waste of cultivation without any Origin Qi of the Five Elements!

As soon as the news spread, the Ye family exploded, and Ye Zihan immediately became the object of neglect and neglect. From then on, he was ridiculed and ridiculed by his clan members, and even punched and kicked him.

This situation continues to this day.

"In that case, the matter is settled." Turning around, Ye Aotian faced the disciples in the hall with a stern expression: "Now that Ye Han has been taught a lesson, and his injuries are not serious, he has been punished, and the matter has come to an end.

This is the end. But in the future, I don’t want to hear such unfaithful words again! The family has been reduced to the bottom of the five clans. You should work hard and make progress, practice diligently, so that you can compare with the other four clans and win back a glory for the family.

! Remember, the bloodline of my Ye family is definitely no worse than that of the other four clans, and as long as you are willing to practice hard, your achievements will not be lower than those of the other four clans!"

"Yes, Patriarch!" In the audience, the faces of the Ye family's children turned red and their fists were clenched. They were obviously inspired by Ye Aotian's words.

Ye Aotian nodded and said: "In addition, in ten days, there will be a family trial. All disciples who are over twelve years old must participate. I hope you will be fully prepared within these ten days, otherwise, if you are in danger then,

, but you can’t blame others, do you understand?”

"Understood!" everyone responded in unison.

"As long as you understand." Ye Aotian waved his hand: "In that case, let's let it go."

Everyone bowed and bowed, and then gradually dispersed, but there were still many people muttering in low voices on the way: "This Ye Zihan is so overestimating his abilities, he actually dared to fight with Brother Ye Xiang, and said such treacherous words.

You are simply seeking death."

"That's right, Brother Ye Xiang is a summoner in the early stage of Liangyi. His strength is definitely outstanding among our generation."

"That Ye Zihan doesn't even have the Five Elements Origin Qi. Fortunately, he is the son of the second head of the family. He is much worse than his sister."

"Nonsense, his sister is a rare talent that our Ye family has seen in a hundred years. She possesses two kinds of Five Elements Qi, and can master both summoning and sealing. Her current strength may have reached the late stage of Liangyi, and not even Brother Ye Xiang can compare with it.

, let alone trash like Ye Zihan."

"Oh, you still have thoughts about caring about others. I heard from my brothers that the family trial in ten days is not ordinary dangerous. If you don't do it well, you may even lose your life."

"What are you afraid of? No matter how dangerous the trial is, there will be clan elders secretly following you along the way, so accidents won't happen easily. Besides, isn't there Ye Zihan who is at the bottom of the pack?"

"Haha, that's true."

．

In the hall, Ye Xiang bowed his hands to Ye Aotian and the others, then turned and left. When he turned around, he did not forget to sneer at Ye Zihan who was standing beside him.

Ye Zihan slowly raised his head. There were also many bruises and blood marks on his delicate face. The look he looked at Ye Aozhan was extremely cold! There was even deep... resentment!

The man named father, when he was five years old, learned that he did not have the origin of the Five Elements in his body, he never hugged him again, and even stopped looking at him! Whenever he was bullied, he

It was as if they had not heard of it, let alone said a word to protect each other. What blood is thicker than water, what blood is the same as the same blood, it is nothing more than that!

In this continent, strength is the capital that makes others take it seriously!

After looking at Ye Aozhan so coldly for a moment, Ye Han finally stood up unsteadily, then turned around and staggered out of the hall.
Chapter completed!
