Chapter 16: The Four Regions Martial Rankings!

Ye Qiubai's talent had recovered, and his strength was even greater than before!

With a single move, he had instantly killed his enemy, the young master Chou Siwu.

The news spread through Tianyuan City with extreme speed!

In an instant, everyone in Tianyuan City was filled with emotion, realizing that the situation in the city was about to change once again.

And now, the center of everyone's discussion was the Ye Family.

The various elders stepped forward, whether with sincerity or pretense, greeting Ye Qiubai with beaming smiles.

After Ye Qiubai lost his talent, every single one of these people had been incredibly cold, even hurling insults at him.

Although Ye Qiubai did not care about this and had no intention of seeking revenge, it was also impossible for him to show a pleasant expression to these sycophantic elders.

The elders could only respond with awkward smiles.

Ye Qing was filled with joy. He patted Ye Qiubai on the shoulder and laughed loudly, "Good, good! It is well that you have recovered! However, Qiubai, how did you restore your strength? Could it be that you encountered another fortuitous encounter?"

Hearing this, Ye Qiubai couldn't help but smile.

"It was my Master who saved me. When I was being pursued while leaving the city gates, I happened to encounter him. He not only saved my life but also used medicinal pills to repair my talent and passed down a supreme cultivation technique, allowing my strength to advance by leaps and bounds."

"Then you must truly thank your Master," Ye Qing said in surprise. "But someone who possesses such medicinal pills cannot be an unknown figure, can they?"

Ye Qiubai shook his head. "Although Master is from the Hidden Dao Academy, he does not like to seek fame, so very few people know of him."

The Hidden Dao Academy?

No wonder.

Ye Qing nodded in realization, but then, as if thinking of something, he frowned. "Then, do you know who the person was that tried to kill you before?"

To have someone attempt to murder his son just outside the gates of Tianyuan City—how could Ye Qing not be furious?

An extremely domineering aura erupted!

Ye Qing was, after all, the head of the Ye Family and one of the top experts in Tianyuan City.

The faces of the surrounding people with lower cultivation levels changed instantly, and they retreated continuously under the pressure of this aura!

Ye Qiubai's expression remained unchanged as he looked toward Jiang Tianhan, who stood behind him with a complex expression.

In truth, Jiang Tianhan knew something of his daughter's actions.

Ye Qing followed Ye Qiubai's gaze and landed on Jiang Tianhan, saying sternly, "Jiang Tianhan?"

Ye Qiubai shook his head. "It was Jiang Chan."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qing's aura exploded!

The pressure bore down directly on Jiang Tianhan as he roared, "Jiang Tianhan, your Jiang Family needs to give me an explanation!"

Previously, they had not only unilaterally torn up the marriage contract in front of the entire Ye Family and humiliated his son, but now, they had even attempted to kill him!

This sent Ye Qing's rage through the roof!

Taking a step forward, a long sword slid into his hand!

Clearly, if Jiang Tianhan's explanation failed to satisfy him, Ye Qing would strike with a single sword stroke!

Seeing this, Jiang Tianhan could only sigh with a bitter smile. "Brother Ye, this matter is indeed a failure of my Jiang Family toward you. I apologize to you on behalf of my daughter, Jiang Chan."

"Is an apology enough?" Ye Qing bellowed. "If you knew this would happen, why did you commit such an unscrupulous act?"

Jiang Tianhan could only say helplessly, "At the time, I did not discover Chan'er's plan. I only learned of everything after it happened. This is my failure as a father."

"Enough talk. Hand Jiang Chan over."

Ye Qing took another step forward, pointing his long sword, his expression unfriendly. "If you do not hand her over, do not blame the Ye Family for declaring war on the Jiang Family."

"Currently, Chan'er has already left Tianyuan City."

Jiang Tianhan shook his head and looked at the calm Ye Qiubai, saying, "I also hope that Qiubai can let this grudge go. To that end, my Jiang Family is willing to hand over the entire three-year harvest of our Tianyuan City industries to you."

Three years of harvest!

That was a massive amount of resources!

Just as Ye Qing was about to say something, Ye Qiubai stepped forward to interrupt, "Where did Jiang Chan go?"

If the tearing of the marriage contract had made Ye Qiubai and Jiang Chan strangers, then the assassination attempt had turned them into mortal enemies!

Revenge for revenge, grievance for grievance.

That was Ye Qiubai's attitude.

Jiang Tianhan's expression tightened, and he said deeply, "Qiubai, I know there is hatred in your heart, but you cannot seek revenge. Chan'er has joined a power that you will never be able to reach in your entire lifetime."

Never reach in a lifetime?

Ye Qiubai thought of his Master, Lu Changsheng.

He truly could not imagine anyone in this world who could be a match for his Master.

That Primordial Sword Scripture was unlike any martial art of the mortal realm.

The Creation Pill, which seized the very providence of heaven and earth, was an object non-existent in the mortal world.

Not to mention that scroll...

And the grand formation Master had laid down before descending the mountain...

Ye Qiubai shook his head and said, "There is no need for you to worry about that."

"The Northern Region, the Sunset Dynasty."

Beside him, Ye Qing was horrified!

Ye Ling's expression was one of terror!

Ye Qiubai was also slightly stunned.

The Northern Region was the strongest of the Four Regions.

And the Sunset Dynasty was the ruler of the Northern Region.

It contained countless experts who traversed the world.

The current ruler of the Sunset Dynasty was ranked fourth on the Four Regions Martial Rankings.

The Four Regions Martial Rankings recorded the strength of all known experts across the four regions.

Even Qin Tiannan, the Dean of the Hidden Dao Academy in the Southern Region, could only rank 26th on the Martial Rankings...

One could imagine how much weight those rankings carried.

To think that Jiang Chan had actually gone to the Sunset Dynasty!

If that were the case, even if Ye Qiubai's Master was from the Hidden Dao Academy, he would...

After a brief moment of daze, Ye Qiubai returned to his usual calm.

After all, he truly could not conceive of anyone being a match for his Master.

Not even the Sunset Dynasty.

However, Ye Qiubai had no intention of asking his Master to seek revenge for him.

This was, after all, his own business.

Seeing that Ye Qiubai remained silent, Jiang Tianhan assumed he had given up. "I will deliver the harvests for the next three years to you. Regarding Qiubai's matter, I am also very sorry..."

Having said that, Jiang Tianhan turned and led his people away.

Ye Qing sighed and patted Ye Qiubai on the shoulder. "Don't think too much about it. Focus on increasing your own strength."

Ye Qiubai nodded.

At the same time, the Chou Family issued a declaration of war against the Ye Family.

If Ye Qiubai were handed over, the war would cease.

Ye Qing had expected this, as Chou Siwu had died at Ye Qiubai's hands.

He was prepared to deal with it.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Ye Qiubai walking toward Ye Yan.

An aura rose continuously, and sword qi soared into the air!

Ye Qiubai looked coldly at the terrified Ye Yan and said, "Do you dare to fight to the death?"
