Chapter 15: The Return of the King, Still Magnificent!

Dark clouds covered the sun.

Raindrops gradually fell, splattering across various parts of Tianyuan City.

At this moment, there were few people on the streets.

The only lively place was the Ye Family, one of the four major families.

Because Ye Qiubai had returned.

In the main hall,

Ye Qing sat in the first seat, followed by the Grand Elder, Ye Ling.

Standing behind Ye Ling was Ye Yan.

However, at this moment, Ye Yan's expression was extremely strange, showing fear as he looked at Ye Qiubai.

Sitting in his position, Ye Ling also felt uneasy.

Obviously, Ye Yan had already informed his father about Ye Qiubai's situation.

Ye Qiubai came to Ye Qing's front, kneeling on both knees, and said, "Father, I'm back."

Seeing this, Ye Qing sighed and walked over to help Ye Qiubai up, whispering, "Qiubai, you shouldn't have come back."

However, Ye Qiubai smiled and said, "It's alright, Father. Besides, if I don't come back to help you, won't you be targeted by some people for the position of the family head?"

Ye Qiubai's voice wasn't obstructed, and Ye Ling, who was beside him, naturally heard it.

Ye Ling trembled in his heart and said with a trembling voice, "Qiubai, how could anyone target the position of the family head? You must have heard wrong, right?"

Ye Yan also echoed from the side, "Yeah, cousin, how could anyone do such a thing? Don't listen to the rumors from the outside world."

Hearing this, Ye Qing was stunned.

During this period, Ye Ling had entered the Hidden Path Academy with the help of his son and was accepted as a disciple by an elder.

This had gained the support of most of the elders in the family.

Even the Patriarch had tacitly agreed to this.

Ye Qing was already struggling to hold on alone during this period.

According to reason, Ye Ling should have pursued his advantage.

Why did he change his mind at this critical moment?

And there seemed to be some intention to please?

However, Ye Qiubai knew the reason behind this, but he didn't even glance at the father and son.

After all, now that he had returned, his father's position as the head of the family wouldn't be taken away.

But even so, old and new grudges had to be settled.

Ye Qiubai glanced at Ye Yan behind him.

Those eyes, sharp as swords, pierced into Ye Yan's heart like ten thousand swords, causing his heart to tremble violently.

Ye Yan knew.

He already knew about the incident at the academy before!

But just as Ye Qiubai was about to make a move, the sound of hooves came from outside the door!

"Enemies, Chou Siwu is here to visit Ye Qiubai!"

The leader was none other than Chou Siwu in a blood-colored robe.

Now, Chou Siwu was staring at Ye Qiubai with a grim smile on his face.

His eyes were full of resentment!

Following that, another group of people walked in.

"Brother Ye Qing, I hope you are well."

It was Jiang Tianhan from the Jiang Family.

Ye Qiubai also looked over, but he didn't see any trace of Jiang Chan.

Now, in his heart, the little girl was completely gone.

Instead, there was only Jiang Chan, who was now his enemy.

He wondered if Jiang Tianhan had participated in this...

Ye Qing's face changed slightly. He knew why these people had come here.

But he still clasped his fists and said, "I wonder what brings you all here today?"

Chou Siwu grinned, "We just wanted to see if Brother Qiubai has made any progress. After all, we used to spar together often."

Ye Qing's heart sank.

Sure enough.

Back then, Chou Siwu was the number one genius in Tianyuan City, but he was firmly suppressed by Ye Qiubai.

During that time, there were several irreconcilable grudges between the two sides.

Now that Ye Qiubai had lost his cultivation, it was natural for him to come for revenge!

Ye Qing's face darkened, saying, "Chou Siwu, this is the Ye Family. It's not your place to act recklessly here."

At this, Chou Siwu burst into laughter. "Ye Qing, how much power do you still have in the Ye Family now? The position of the family head will sooner or later be handed over. How can you keep Ye Qiubai safe?"

Then, he looked at Ye Ling with a sneer. "If you don't hand Ye Qiubai over, I guarantee that the Chou Family will retaliate against the Ye Family in the future. From now on, the Ye Family will have no place in Tianyuan City!"

"You!" 

Ye Qing understood. Although both were among the four major families, since Ye Qiubai lost his talent, the Ye Family's position in Tianyuan City had plummeted. Various forces had shifted their allegiances. Now, the Ye Family's strength was no match for the Chou Family.

Just as Ye Qing was about to say something, Ye Qiubai bypassed him and came to face Chou Siwu.

"Aren't you here for revenge? I'm right here, make your move."

Seeing this scene, Chou Siwu was stunned.

Ye Qing hastily shouted, "Qiubai, don't be impulsive!"

Jiang Tianhan's face also turned cold. "The green hills will remain, but there will be no firewood if they're burnt. Ye Qiubai, you better leave!"

Hearing Jiang Tianhan's advice, Ye Qiubai couldn't help but be surprised.

It seemed that Jiang Tianhan didn't want him dead.

The previous incident probably had nothing to do with him.

However, Chou Siwu grinned, "Since you're seeking death, then I won't be polite."

With that, Chou Siwu took out a long knife and dashed towards Ye Qiubai!

Now, Chou Siwu had broken through to the Violet Mansion stage.

In the eyes of everyone present, Ye Qiubai, who had lost his cultivation, was definitely not his match!

Ye Qing gritted his teeth and shot towards Ye Qiubai, but he was intercepted by an elder.

"Master Ye, please watch here."

Ye Qing's face turned ugly. The person in front of him used to be a worshipper of the Ye Family, but now he had defected to the Chou Family.

Chou Siwu raised his long knife high and slashed towards Ye Qiubai's head!

"Ye Qiubai! The enmity from the past will be repaid with your life today!"

In full view of everyone, Ye Qiubai took out a wooden sword.

With a slight movement of his feet, the wooden sword stabbed out.

Just a plain and ordinary sword.

The long knife clashed with the wooden sword!

But the wooden sword didn't shatter as everyone expected!

And Ye Qiubai didn't become a dead soul under Chou Siwu's blade!

This scene stunned everyone.

They saw Ye Qiubai's wooden sword directly pierce the long knife, stabbing into Chou Siwu's neck!

Blood gushed out!

"How... how is this possible?!"

Chou Siwu's face twisted in pain. He dropped his long knife, clasping his neck with both hands, staring fiercely at Ye Qiubai, who remained as calm as water.

"Your... your strength... has recovered?"

Ye Qiubai didn't answer. He pulled out the sword, which had not been stained with any blood.

Under the horrified gaze of everyone, Chou Siwu fell into a pool of blood, breathless.

Ye Qing was stunned.

Jiang Tianhan was stunned.

Ye Ling, who had never seen Ye Qiubai's true strength, was also stunned.

Ye Yan, equally terrified.

In just two days, Ye Qiubai had broken through to the Violet Mansion stage!

What kind of cultivation speed was this!

"Qiubai... you?"

Ye Qiubai put away the wooden sword, turned around and looked at Ye Qing, smiling. "Father, my strength has recovered."

The crowd watching from the sidelines dispersed in an uproar.

The former prodigy.

Now the king has returned, still magnificent!
