Battle Through the Heavens: The Alchemist Starting from the Ye Family

Page 93

Meanwhile, while the commotion was raging in the Pill Domain, the Pill Tower and the other four of the five major families naturally couldn't have been unaware of it.

However, their reactions were all different.

Because it concerned the Ye family, the news quickly reached Xuan Kongzi's ears.

However, as one of the three giants of the Dan Tower, he considered this a trivial matter, so he simply instructed someone to keep an eye on it and then never mentioned it again.

As for informing Ye Chen, the young patriarch of the Ye family...

If the Ye family can't even handle such a small matter and has to disturb Ye Chen who is in seclusion, then he really needs to consider whether the Ye family is truly qualified to be among the five great families.

As for the other four of the five major families, the Bai family and the Qiu family naturally sat on the sidelines and watched the show...

Although these two families no longer dare to target the Ye family because of Ye Chen, they would still be happy if they could have the chance to see the Ye family make a fool of themselves.

As for the remaining Cao and Dan families, they both secretly began to pay attention to this matter.

The latter goes without saying. Given the past relationship between Danxuan and Ye Chen, coupled with Ye Chen's current status in the Pill Tower, the Dan family would not sit idly by and watch the Ye family be attacked.

However, this matter currently seems to be within the Ye family's capabilities, so the Dan family shouldn't interfere. Otherwise, they risk not only failing to gain the Ye family's gratitude but also giving the impression that the Dan family looks down on the Ye family, which would be a net loss...

As for the Cao family, according to the Cao family head's original idea, they also wanted to watch the show, since the Ye family and the Cao family had no relationship and had even been competitors in the past.

But somehow, the patriarch of the Pill Tower learned of this matter and sent a message, asking the Cao family to help the Ye family at the appropriate time...

Although the news came as a surprise, the Cao family patriarch dared not question it and ultimately made the same decision as the Dan family: to observe secretly and be prepared to act at any time.

Chapter 209 Ye Lan's Trump Card

While Ye Lan waited, he did not see his father emerge from seclusion; instead, he was greeted by those with ill intentions who came to his door...

This scene put Ye Lan, the head of the family, in a rather difficult position.

Ye Lan summoned the family elders and deacons to hear their opinions.

"Hmph! These guys are all treacherous, why should my Ye family be polite to them?" The middle generation of family heads, along with Ye Lan, could no longer contain their anger.

Ye Lan shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "It's not difficult to deal with them. After all, although there are quite a few of them, there aren't many strong ones. The strongest one is only a three-star Dou Zong. With the support of my Ye family, even just one person is enough to suppress them all."

But this cannot solve the current problem facing my Ye family..."

The other party didn't come to cause trouble openly; they came to pay a visit. Would the Ye family really resort to violence against their guests?

Moreover, what if the other party really doesn't fight back when hit or talk back when insulted?

That's the real problem...

"What is their purpose in doing this? Do they think they can force the Ye family to hand over the Calamity Poison Body with just these guys?" Ye Xuan, the eldest brother who was usually quite composed among the younger generation of the Ye family, frowned and asked the question that had been bothering him.

Of the three elders, the second elder, who had been mostly silent, suddenly spoke up, saying, "Perhaps those people never expected these guys to succeed?"

One sentence made many people in the Ye family fall into deep thought.

"This was merely a test. If it works, angering the Ye family and even provoking them to take action, then their plan will have succeeded..."

As the Second Elder continued speaking, many people came to their senses.

"I understand now. Those bastards want to take this opportunity to gradually damage the reputation and prestige of my Ye family..." The Third Elder, who had previously reacted most strongly to the matter, suddenly realized.

"Using the matter of the Calamity Poison Body, we can slowly undermine our Ye family. We won't aim for a fatal blow, but rather boil the frog in lukewarm water. When our Ye family realizes that the losses outweigh the gains, they may give up on the Calamity Poison Body on their own initiative..." Ye Xuan frowned and continued the Third Elder's words.

"Isn't this method a bit too despicable and insidious?"

Anyone who dares to scheme against the Ye family must be no nobody. We're all respectable people; we could openly and honestly compete in a battle of strength. If we resort to such underhanded tactics, and people find out, we'll probably be ridiculed by everyone.

"Hmph, he's already resorting to underhanded tactics like stirring up trouble in the shadows, so what's wrong with being even more despicable and insidious? But this has made me realize that this so-called mastermind isn't some top-tier power, and doesn't even have the guts to fight head-on..." The Third Elder, who despised such things the most, couldn't help but mock.

The Second Elder looked at the indignant crowd, shook his head slightly, and said, "It's no use saying all this now. Those guys are already waiting in the front hall. Let's deal with them first..."

"Master, do you have a good solution?"

Ye Lan, slightly embarrassed by everyone's gazes, touched her nose and chuckled awkwardly, "I don't have a good solution. But I do have a very effective folk remedy..."

Before he could finish speaking, someone outside the main hall urgently reported, "Master, something terrible has happened! The madam just went to the front hall in a fit of rage..."

Upon hearing this, all eyes in the hall turned to Ye Lan once more, this time with expressions of astonishment and surprise…

"This is really a good idea..." Ye Xuan, the older brother, opened his mouth, and finally said this.

……

lobby

By this time, quite a few people were already sitting inside, whispering among themselves. Only the two middle-aged men in black and white robes, one at the head of the group, sat quietly, their expressions calm and serene.

As time passed, some of the people grew impatient, feeling that the Ye family's cold treatment of them was completely devoid of the etiquette and hospitality expected of a large family.

However, before these minor complaints could escalate, they were abruptly interrupted by an even more irritable voice...

"Hospital guests? Do you guys even deserve to be called 'guests'?"

The voice was somewhat unrestrained, and one could even clearly hear the anger contained within it.

But what made everyone present even more frowning was that the voice belonged to a woman...

The two middle-aged men in black and white robes, who had previously appeared unharmed, suddenly raised their eyebrows, exchanged a very subtle glance, and then simultaneously turned to look towards the door.

Outside the reception room, Song Chun'er strode out from the inner courtyard, her eyes, brimming with barely concealed anger, locking onto the group of people...

"Hmph! You say my Ye family is impolite to our guests, but you all should take a look at yourselves. As the saying goes, uninvited guests are unwelcome. The fact that I haven't kicked you out is already showing me great magnanimity!"

These words immediately angered many people, mainly because the speaker was an unfamiliar woman, and merely a Dou Huang, yet she dared to shout at a group of Dou Zong experts. Even the Ye family members were being far too arrogant...

A flash of anger crossed the middle-aged man's face as he clasped his hands in a deep voice and asked, "May I ask who from the Ye family is here?"

Song Chun'er was not intimidated at all. She put her hands on her hips, puffed out her chest, and said loudly, "I am Song Chun'er, the wife of Ye Lan, the head of the Ye family, and the mother of Ye Chen, the young master of the Ye family!"

If the first identity was something these people could still be indifferent to deep down, then the second sentence was a completely different story...

"It's the mother of that Ye family prodigy?! This is getting complicated..."

The two middle-aged men, one dressed in black and the other in white, simultaneously sensed that things had become complicated and couldn't help but exchange another glance.

"The Ye family is really lacking in manners, actually sending a woman to handle this?"

Although many people looked down on the Ye family's actions, no one dared to slight the person in front of them.

There's nothing we can do; she just had a wonderful son...

If this matter involves the Ye family, then if they suffer a loss in the end, they will dare to spread it everywhere, damaging the Ye family's reputation.

Even if the Ye family really wanted to kill them, they wouldn't dare to be too blatant...

However, if a conflict arises with Song Chun'er, the nature of the matter would be completely different.

When that monstrous talent finally emerges from seclusion, he might just put a bounty on their lives to avenge his mother.

Even if some people feel that the other party is domineering, the impact will not be significant.

Who told you all to bully a woman first? Even if you were killed on the spot by the Ye family, you'd have nowhere to seek justice...

Chapter 210 Song Chun'er Who Doesn't Want to Be Reasonable

Seeing Song Chun'er's aggressive demeanor, everyone present panicked for a moment. The two middle-aged men, one in black and one in white, still wanted to claim the moral high ground, but the man in white quickly spoke up, "Madam Ye, we are not here to cause trouble for the Ye family, but to pay our respects to the person in charge of the Ye family..."

"Visiting the head of the Ye family? Then you can tell me what you want to say. I am the wife of the head of the Ye family, and my son is the young master of the Ye family. My words represent the Ye family!"

These words made the middle-aged man in white roll his eyes.

You are just a woman. Above you are the elders who are the true heads of the family, in the middle are the family head, and below you are many elders and managers. Even if you are the closest relatives of these people, how could you possibly make the decisions?

Moreover, even if Song Chun'er said or did something extreme, the Ye family could find a perfect excuse to defend themselves, so their plan was completely useless against Song Chun'er.

Seeing these people speechless, Song Chun'er couldn't help but sneer and said, "You guys think you can trip up my Ye family? I know what you're up to, but I'm telling you straight now, Xian'er is a member of my Ye family, a family member that I, Song Chun'er, acknowledge. You'd better give up on your ideas about her as soon as possible, or I will definitely not show any mercy!"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man in black's eyes flashed, and he immediately said loudly, "Madam Ye, the Calamity Poison Body is the root of all calamities and evil in this world. Every appearance of hers is accompanied by suffering for the entire Central Continent. The Ye family is one of the five great families of the Pill Domain and is revered by thousands. If you forcibly protect the Poison Body, do you not care about the suffering of all the people in the Central Continent?"

"Pah! Stop trying to intimidate me with this nonsense, I don't care! Don't think I don't know what you want to do, you just want Xian'er's physique, and you still have the nerve to talk nonsense here, get out of here, or I'll kick you out!" Song Chun'er put her hands on her hips, revealing her fierce nature.

"You've gone too far!" Many people were furious.

"So what if I bullied you? I'm going to beat you up anyway, Butterfly!"

Seeing that these guys wouldn't give up, Song Chun'er immediately pulled out her trump card...

With a sharp shout, everyone felt the once clear sky instantly become overcast, and a terrifying pressure descended from the sky, making each of them feel as if a mountain was pressing down on them.

However, this scene did bring a subtle hint of joy to the expressions of the two middle-aged men in black and white.

"Hehe, go ahead and fight! If you're so capable, why don't you join in and have everyone here beaten to death!"

This was originally part of their plan, to make the Ye family take the initiative to attack them...

Moreover, everyone was prepared to not fight back or retaliate. Even if the Ye family was powerful, we would leave our lives to them at their disposal!

Of course, some skill still needs to be demonstrated...

The two middle-aged men, one in black and one in white, exchanged a glance and simultaneously released powerful battle auras, their booming voices spreading out as they said, "Is the Ye family unreasonable, daring to attack their guests?"

The sound spread with the sound waves, and almost the entire Ye City could hear it.

Unfortunately, Song Chun'er already knew what the other party would do, and immediately said in the same angry tone, "Guests? You bunch of people dare to bully me at my doorstep while my Ye family's experts are away. What's wrong with me hitting you?"

"Butterfly, do it!"

As Song Chun'er's voice rang out, a seven-colored beam of light descended from the sky, directly enveloping the two middle-aged men in black and white...

Sensing the terrifying power contained within the seven-colored beam of light, the two people's expressions changed drastically in an instant.

"Damn, this woman doesn't play by the rules! She's too strong! Quickly, join forces to stop her!"

Unfortunately, even if all these people were combined, they wouldn't be enough to defeat Queen Medusa, who had already broken through to the peak of the five-star Dou Zong realm.

The rapidly erected battle aura defensive shields were utterly destroyed in an instant by the seven-colored pillar of light. If Song Chun'er hadn't given the order that no one should die, there might not be anyone alive here right now...

"Men, throw these guys out!"

She summoned a group of servants, and Song Chun'er personally led them to the gate of the Ye family compound. In front of the entire city, she threw these unfortunate souls out of the Ye family compound.

This scene became a laughing stock for many people in Yecheng...

Although some outsiders felt that the Ye family's actions were somewhat excessive, they were quickly swayed by the rebuttals of those around them.

"A bunch of grown men actually came to my door and bullied a woman. If I were Mrs. Ye, I would have had them beaten to death!"

When these people consciously distinguish between the Ye family and Madam Ye, Song Chun'er, the power dynamic will instantly shift in their minds.

No matter what, Song Chun'er is just a woman and only at the Dou Huang realm. Compared to those Dou Zong men, she is weak.

As for the fact that Song Chun'er is backed by the Ye family, which has countless powerful members, and that it was the latter who was beaten half to death, this does not change the first impression in everyone's mind.

This is what Ye Lan, the head of the Ye family, wanted to see, and it's also the most effective way he could think of to deal with those conspiracies and schemes lurking in the shadows...

Not only were the group beaten half to death, but the final result was also unsatisfactory. Instead, they now faced more disdain and contempt in Yecheng, and even inns and restaurants stopped doing business with them.

The group, looking disheveled and embarrassed, could only slink away from Ye City. They would probably be in seclusion for a long time to recover from their injuries and would be too ashamed to show their faces in public.

Back in the inner courtyard, Song Chun'er saw her husband approaching with a fawning smile and rolled her eyes in exasperation.

"Madam, you've worked hard. Please, come and sit down and rest..."

Song Chun'er simply curled her lip, completely ignoring her husband's attentiveness, and said directly, "Get away! Just looking at you annoys me..."

Today's matter is resolved. What are your plans now? Also, let me tell you, Xian'er is the daughter-in-law I've chosen. No matter what happens, I will never let anyone take her away. You'd better find a way to resolve these troublesome matters quickly!

Ye Lan smiled obsequiously at his wife, repeatedly assuring her that he would never let her down.

However, when talking about the real mastermind behind this incident, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his originally smiling eyes.

"Hehe, Madam, don't worry. I also quite like Xian'er, and she and Chen'er are quite a good match. I absolutely support your decision!"

I assure you, this matter will be over soon. You can just stay in the inner courtyard and keep watch from now on..."

Do they really think the Ye family is made of clay? They're being schemed against like this and they don't even fight back. They're really not worthy of the name of the five great families!

In fact, many of the Ye family's top experts have gone out during this period, and they have found some clues by following those subtle clues.

When the mastermind truly surfaces, that will be the time for the Ye family to deliver a fatal blow.

Ye Lan wanted to use this incident to let the Pill Domain, and even the entire Central Continent, know that no matter who or what force dares to target the Ye family, they should be prepared to face the Ye family's wrath!
