In the depths of the forest, the gentle breeze rustled the leaves. A few birds happily flew through the leaves, and the afternoon sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves onto a thin figure.

The scent of the forest was filled with the fragrance of the earth. Every leaf and every blade of grass was giving off their own vitality.

At this point, he no longer hesitated. Closing his eyes, he gathered all of the zhenqi within his body and prepared to break through the barrier.

A general of the Ye Family rushed to Ye Lingtian's side and whispered a few words into his ear. Hearing that, Ye Lingtian's face darkened, he looked towards the door, only to see a dozen people walking in.

The leader was a man in his fifties, with a knife scar across his forehead. He was the Zhao Family's Patriarch, Zhao Yongsheng.

Zhao Yongsheng came in front of Ye Lingtian and smiled, "Today is the day of the young master's life and death duel.

Ye Lingtian looked coldly at Zhao Yongsheng, "As for my Ye Family's matter, why are you interrupting an outsider like you? How come ten years have passed and you've already forgotten about the pain?"

Zhao Yongsheng's finger gently touched the scar on his forehead, the hatred in his eyes didn't need to be concealed at all. Zhao Yongsheng said, "You don't need to remind me, I have always kept this scar on purpose. Every time I look in the mirror, I would think back to what happened that year. The disgrace you have brought me, I will return sooner or later. "But today, I'm not here to settle scores. I'm here to observe …"

Ye Lingtian glanced at Zhao Yongsheng and said, "This is an internal matter of my Ye Family, there is no need for your Zhao Family Head to worry. You should just go back to where you came from."

"Hahahaha, you can't say it like that, even though you are the Ye Family Patriarch, the Ye Family is not your, Ye Lingtian's, words. I was invited here today, don't you think so, Great Elder? "Zhao Yongsheng laughed unrestrainedly.

Ye Lingtian turned his head to look at the Great Clan Elder, who had changed from his usual modesty and humility, and said with a smile that did not move his skin, "Clan Chief, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you. The reason I invited the Zhao Family Patriarch over was also for the sake of fairness in the competition, I believe that the Patriarch will definitely understand, right?"

The Great Clan Elder and Zhao Yongsheng looked at each other and they could see the deep astonishment in the other's heart. The cultivation technique Ye Lingtian trained in was a high grade Profound Rank . However, they didn't expect that they wouldn't explode on the spot after being provoked by the two of them so many times today. This was completely beyond their expectations.

The two of them were puzzled, but now was not the time to think. They found a place to settle down and waited quietly for the competition to start.

The Ye Family's life and death arena was two hundred meters wide and square. The ground was made of giant rocks, and it was extremely sturdy. Even Division Warriors could use all their strength from above and not cause any damage to the arena.

After the time it takes for an incense to burn, a Law Enforcement Elder walked onto the stage and stood still. He said loudly, "According to the ruling of the elders, Ye Yang and Ye Yun are allowed to fight to the death. Once on the Life and Death Arena, life and death are decided, regardless of the result, the grudge will be settled here. No one shall be investigated afterwards, otherwise the family law will be dealt with. "

Pausing for a moment, he continued, "Next, the two contestants will enter the arena."

The elder had just finished speaking when a figure jumped onto the stage. This person was Ye Yun, although Ye Yun was only seventeen years old, he had trained in the martial arts for many years, his physique was sturdy and stronger than most adults.

Ye Yun cupped his fists respectfully. Law Enforcement Elder had a very high position in the clan, so Ye Yun did not dare be rash.

The elder only nodded his head slightly and stopped moving. Ye Yun retreated to the side, waiting for Ye Yang's appearance.

However, after waiting for a long time and not seeing Ye Yang, the Law Enforcement Elder was slightly stunned as he coldly said, "Is Ye Yang here?"

After waiting for a long time, there was still no reply. No one made a sound.

"Hey!" "What's going on, where's Ye Yang?"

"It can't be that he's afraid and doesn't dare to come, right?"

"How is that possible? The duel was proposed by him. If he doesn't come, the consequences will be very serious!"

"Tch, so what if it's serious? That's the Life and Death Arena. If you lose, you might lose your life. No matter how serious it is, how serious can your life be?"

The fact that Ye Yang did not appear attracted the whispers of the crowd. Although everyone looked down on Ye Yang, they admired his courage. After all, not everyone dared to use their life to protect their own dignity.

"Haha, I didn't expect the young master of the Ye family would run right before the battle. If this were to spread out, he would definitely become a laughingstock in the Eight Desolate City, don't you think so, Clan Leader Ye? "Zhao Yongsheng laughed.

Being defeated by Ye Lingtian when he was still a teenager had always been seen as a great humiliation and humiliation, and he had always been looking for an opportunity to take revenge for many years. Unfortunately, even if an accident happened to Ye Lingtian more than ten years ago, and his cultivation had always remained at the third sky of Battlemaster, he would still not be Ye Lingtian's match even if he had now cultivated to the same realm.

Now that he could use this matter to humiliate his opponent to his heart's content, of course he wouldn't let go of this rare opportunity.

"Don't worry, my son is not one of those trash from the Zhao Family. Escaping before the battle is your Zhao Family's property. If it wasn't for you escaping fast, you would have already become a ghost under this Ye's blade, how could you continue to live on until now? "Ye Lingtian said indifferently.

"You …" Zhao Yongsheng stood up abruptly and pointed at Ye Lingtian, but he could not find any words to refute Ye Lingtian. After all, he had indeed escaped from Ye Lingtian's hands in a sorry state back then. Alright, let's see how long your mouth can be so tough. Today, I want to see if that good-for-nothing son of yours dares to come and die!

"There's no need for you to worry about my son. I heard that someone's son suddenly disappeared from Eight Desolate City for no reason. After searching for a few days, he wasn't able to find anything. In the end, he had no choice but to place a bounty of 100,000 gold coins on the person. However, up until now, he still couldn't find anything. "You better pray that you're lucky. Your son, who does everything wrong, is most likely taken away by the heavens …"

Ye Lingtian did not know that Zhao Zihao was killed by Ye Yang. Otherwise, he would not have recklessly used this matter to provoke Zhao Yongsheng.

But when Ye Lingtian said this, the suspicion towards the Ye Family was dispelled. After all, no one was crazy enough to kill the other party's son, and they still dared to mock him in such a blatant manner.

Zhao Yongsheng's face was ashen. Although he had guessed that his son's fate was not good, being pointed out to his face almost made him go mad.

Just thinking about what he had to do next, he forcefully suppressed his anger and refused to look at Ye Lingtian with a cold face.

Seeing that Zhao Yongsheng did not continue, Ye Lingtian frowned and was secretly anxious, "What is he planning to do, brat?"

Seeing that Ye Yang did not dare to go up, Ye Yun felt disdain in his heart. He said to Law Enforcement Elder, "Ye Yang is timid, and does not dare to accept the challenge.

The Law Enforcement Elder expressionlessly said, "According to the clan's rules, if Ye Yang does not appear within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he will be expelled from the Ye Family. Someone from the Law Enforcement Elder will burn the incense."

Many in the audience didn't know that the rules of the life and death arena would be so serious. If Ye Yang didn't come, he would be kicked out of the house. Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.

At the other corner of the arena, a dozen or so Ye family girls were gathered. They were all looking at the arena and clenching their small fists in anxiety.

"Sister Qingxun, do you think Ye Yang will come?"

"Yeah, I want to know too. I'm so worried!"

Ye Qingxuan was also nervous in her heart. A thin layer of sweat had already covered her between her brows as she sighed and said, "I don't know either. I actually hope that he won't come …"

"But if he doesn't come, he'll be kicked out of the family. If he does, Ye Yang will be very pitiful."

"But what should we do now that he's here? He might be killed again! What should we do? We're so anxious!"

Ye Qingxuan gently stroked the few strands of hair that were scattered in front of her eyes as her jade-like hands lightly brushed past her ears. A complicated expression flashed across her eyes, and she slowly said, "It's useless to worry now, we can't change anything. We can only wait in peace."

"Hmph, that Ye Feng always acted the part. I never thought he would be so insidious, bullying Ye Yang is not enough, do you really have to put him to death?"

"Wait!" A lazy voice rang out. "Sorry, I sweated from training. I went back to take a bath. I was late!"

A slender black figure walked step by step toward the arena. The sound of his footsteps seemed to step on people's hearts, causing their hearts to tighten.

Dressed in a black robe, he stood proudly on the stage. His sword-like eyebrows were bright and his handsome face carried a trace of a smile. To the girls below the stage, this smile was too lethal.

Ye Yang smiled back at the girl, then confidently nodded towards Ye Lingtian, who was standing below the stage, and said to Law Enforcement Elder, "Can we start now?"

Law Enforcement Elder took a glance and his eyes flashed with a strange light. Then, he recovered his previous cold attitude and said, "Let the competition begin, regardless of life or death."
