"Did you hear that? He said he has already reached the Origin Martial Realm?" Many Ye Family Disciples began to whisper among themselves on the Training Ground.
"Hmph, he says it and that's it? In less than two months, he went from Fourfold Strength to Origin Martial Realm? How is that possible!"
"So what if he is at Origin Martial Realm? Didn't you hear him say he just broke through? The First Level of Yuan Martial Realm against the Third Level of Yuan Martial Realm—there's no way he can win!"
The murmurs reached Ye Zhan and Ye Feng's ears.
Ye Zhan felt secretly pleased, and his expression became even more arrogant.
Ye Feng, however, was indifferent. He glanced lightly at Ye Zhan and, confirming that the other party was indeed at the Third Level of Yuan Martial Arts, felt even more relaxed.
With his unique cultivation method, even if someone was two realms higher than him, he still had the strength to fight back.
"Grandfather, respected Uncles, before the Clan Meeting begins, I demand punishment for Ye Feng for harming his own kin. My biological brother Ye Feng was killed by this scoundrel Ye Feng a month and a half ago; this is already well known. I hope Grandfather can handle this fairly and according to Family Law, strip him of his cultivation and expel him from the Ye Family!"
This statement stirred up a storm; Ye Zhan's words instantly caused an uproar on the Training Ground. No one expected Ye Zhan to bring this up before the Clan Meeting started.
Ye Feng frowned deeply. He hadn't anticipated such a move from Ye Zhan. However, since Ye Zhan had raised the issue, he would naturally argue his case.
"Grandfather, respected elders, it is true that I crippled Ye Jin's cultivation, but I did not kill him. This has already been concluded by the Law Enforcement Hall of Dragon Tiger Sect!"
Li Hai from the Law Enforcement Hall had long been frightened out of his wits by Bai Chengfeng. As just an Outer Sect Disciple, he dared not offend Bai Chengfeng easily, so he had concluded long ago that Ye Jin was not killed by Ye Feng.
"Hmph! Even if you didn't kill him, it was still because of you that he died. After you crippled his cultivation, you must have left behind irreparable hidden injuries that led to Ye Jin's untimely death!" Ye Zhan said forcefully.
Ye Feng shot a glance at Ye Zhan and coldly replied, "If you want to take revenge for your brother, feel free to come at me directly. Are you afraid of me that you resort to such slanderous tactics?"
"I would be afraid of you? What a joke!" Ye Zhan was momentarily stunned by the words, then burst into laughter. "Then tell me, what qualifications do you have to cripple Ye Jin's cultivation?"
Ye Feng chuckled lightly and said, "Since you know about Ye Jin's death, you must have investigated the reason why I crippled his cultivation. That day, he tricked me into a secluded place and nearly caused my death. Fortunately, heaven was watching over me, and I managed to survive. Later, when Ye Ning came to find me at Dragon Tiger Sect, he saw that I was still alive and tried to attack me again. In the end, he was no match for me and got his cultivation crippled instead. Ye Ning can testify to this."
"That's right, I can testify! It was Ye Jin who attacked Brother Ye Feng first! Your brother is useless and has tried to harm Brother Ye Feng multiple times. Brother Ye Feng only crippled his cultivation; is there anything wrong with that?" Ye Ning, who had been eager to speak, stood up and patted her chest.
Ye Feng's words were reasonable, and with Ye Ning and Dragon Tiger Sect as witnesses, almost everyone couldn't help but nod in agreement with Ye Feng's statement.
"Good, very good. Since you crippled Ye Jin's cultivation out of revenge for the harm he caused you, I won't rely on Family Law. I'll personally take revenge for my brother and cripple your cultivation instead. That way, you won't have anything to say about it!" Ye Zhan's expression suddenly changed as he spoke with an odd look towards the stage. "Elders, what do you think?"
"So he doesn't want the elders of the clan to intervene during our duel!" Ye Feng quickly realized Ye Zhan's intention and couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.
"Ye Zhan has a point!" A thin middle-aged man on the high platform stood up and addressed everyone on the Training Ground. "Since this is a personal grudge, we can choose not to interfere. Ye Feng, you crippled Ye Jin's cultivation; it's understandable for Ye Zhan, as Ye Jin's brother, to want to cripple yours in the duel!"
"Ye Honghai!" Another middle-aged man dressed as a scholar also stood up angrily and said, "What kind of logic is that? Ye Jin harmed Ye Feng first; it was only out of desperation that Ye Feng crippled Ye Jin's cultivation. Their feud is already settled; what does it have to do with Ye Zhan?"
"Ye Hongyan, Fourth Brother, your words are quite unpleasant! Zhan Er is what? He is Ye Jin's biological brother. What's wrong with a brother seeking revenge for his sibling?" Ye Hongjian, who was sitting next to Ye Zhentian, stood up displeased.
Ye Feng instinctively looked at his father and saw him slumped in his seat like a pile of mud, his gaze dazed as if he were asleep or unaware that his son's life was being judged at this moment.
Ye Zhentian looked at everyone but remained silent.
"Head of the family, the time has come!" whispered Ye Hongjian beside him.
"Grandfather, esteemed elders, since he wants a life-and-death battle with me where the loser will have their cultivation crippled, I, Ye Feng, a man of honor, will not be afraid of him. If there's going to be a fight, then let it be!" Seeing his grandfather in difficulty, Ye Feng rushed onto the stage.
"That's exactly what I've been waiting for!" A cold sneer echoed in Ye Zhan's heart as his figure suddenly blurred and disappeared from his original spot, reappearing behind Ye Feng with a heavy palm strike!
"Flowing Cloud Palm!"
Ye Feng had been keeping an eye on Ye Zhan's movements and was already on guard against his sneak attack. However, Ye Zhan's palm technique caught him off guard, feeling oddly familiar.
"Tide Sound Palm!" Three sounds of tides echoed through the air as Ye Feng turned around and struck out with such speed that ordinary people could hardly see it. In the blink of an eye, he had shifted from facing the crowd of Ye Family members to Ye Zhan behind him, unleashing three palms in a thunderous manner.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Three loud impacts resonated, and both of them staggered back four to five meters, leaving the onlookers dumbfounded.
Ye Feng, at the First Level of Yuan Martial Realm, was actually evenly matched with Ye Zhan, who was at the Third Level of Yuan Martial Arts!
Typically, someone at the initial stage of the First Level of Yuan Martial Realm would possess a strength of thirteen hundred pounds. With each breakthrough, their strength would increase by two hundred pounds. Given Ye Zhan's current cultivation level, without using any Martial Technique, he could unleash a full-force strike of seventeen hundred pounds!
Ye Feng, having cultivated his Meridian with spiritual energy and following an unconventional training method, had a strength of sixteen hundred pounds right after breaking through to the Origin Martial Realm. Recently, after solidifying his cultivation at this level, his strength increased by another hundred pounds, perfectly matching Ye Zhan's power. This was why they found themselves in a stalemate.
Ye Zhan was infuriated; he had initially thought that with a sneak attack and being two levels higher than Ye Feng, he could easily crush his opponent. Little did he expect that Ye Feng's reaction would be surprisingly quick and that his strength would be on par with his own.
"Ye Feng, let's fight again! I refuse to believe you can truly challenge someone above your level!" Ye Zhan, seemingly mad, waved his hands like waves, preparing to unleash his most proficient Martial Technique.
Calmly, Ye Feng mobilized the Vital Energy within him, ready to execute the Thunder Three Styles!
Just as they were about to strike, an overwhelming force separated them.
Both Ye Zhan and Ye Feng were momentarily stunned until they recognized the familiar figure that had suddenly appeared before them. They then clasped their hands together in greeting.
"Grandpa!"
"Grandpa!"
"Stop!" Ye Zhentian stood with his hands behind his back, exuding the overwhelming aura of the Eighth Layer of Yuan Martial Realm, suffocating everyone around him.
"This is Grandpa's true strength; it's so powerful!" Ye Feng thought to himself, feeling a chill.
The previously restless crowd fell silent in fear; it was their first time witnessing the family head's anger in public.
After surveying the crowd, Ye Zhentian said angrily, "What time is it now? All you do is fight among yourselves. The feud between Ye Jin and Ye Feng has already been resolved; no one is allowed to mention it again. The Silver Moon Secret Realm is about to open. If you two end up hurting each other, how will you venture into the secret realm?"
"From today onward, the Ye Family must unite against our enemies. No internal conflicts among the clan members are allowed. Regardless of past grievances, they must be set aside to face the current difficulties together!"
Ye Zhan felt unwilling but dared not oppose Ye Zhentian openly. However, he certainly would not let Ye Feng off easily.
Ye Zhan's sneak attack had ignited Ye Feng's fury. Although he pretended to dismiss it on the surface, he had already placed Ye Zhan on his kill list.
"The previous Clan Meetings were all about the younger generation competing against each other. Only those who become the strongest among our Ye Family's youth are qualified to inherit our legacy!" Ye Zhentian began explaining the content of this Clan Meeting when he saw no objections from the crowd.
"However, with the opening of the Silver Moon Secret Realm imminent, our Ye Family cannot miss this opportunity. Therefore, after discussions among the family leaders, we have decided to temporarily modify the assessment method for this Clan Meeting. This time, the assessment will take place within the Silver Moon Secret Realm. The disciple who gains the most benefits there will become this year's Clan Meeting champion and earn the opportunity to comprehend our family's legacy!"
As soon as Ye Zhentian finished speaking, everyone on the Training Ground erupted in discussion.
The matter regarding the opening of the Silver Moon Secret Realm was known only to the core high-ranking members of the Ye Family. Today, Ye Zhentian deliberately made this information public, instantly sparking the interest of everyone present.
According to the original rules for entering the secret realm, any martial artist under the age of eighteen was eligible to explore it. Even those who were not disciples of the Ye Family, such as the children of servants and young guards serving in the Ye Family, now had a chance to rise to prominence.
The Silver Moon Secret Realm was enough to drive all young martial artists crazy with excitement.
"Very well, as long as I kill you in the Silver Moon Secret Realm, no one will know it was me. At that time, let's see who you can rely on!" Ye Zhan thought to himself with a cold smile, casting a provocative glance at Ye Feng.
The thoughts of both were almost identical. Ye Feng showed no fear and looked back proudly. Their gazes collided, sparking invisible flames between them.
Ye Zhentian had long observed the expressions of his two grandsons and sighed inwardly. Although he favored Ye Feng slightly more, he could not show too much bias in front of everyone.
He also understood that it was nearly impossible for the two to coexist peacefully. However, he couldn't allow outsiders to see their family's disgrace. It would be better to let them fight it out in the Silver Moon Secret Realm; the victor would be heavily nurtured while the fate of the loser would be left uncertain. At that point, even he would have no say in the matter.
Ye Zhentian returned to the high platform and took his seat in the central position. The remaining details regarding the Clan Meeting and various precautions related to the Silver Moon Secret Realm were entrusted to Ye Feng's uncle, Ye Hongjian, for explanation.
In a corner of the high platform, Ye Feng's father, Ye Honglin, discreetly lifted his right eyelid for a moment to glance at Ye Feng below before closing his eyes again and falling into a deep sleep.
