Chapter 39

【PS: Regarding why Ye Wei arrived first, there was indeed a lack of consideration in the previous part. However, Snail has made some adjustments. The Ye family's residence is not far from where Master Yi lives, and it takes some time for the divine patterns to change on their own after Master Yi detects the change.】

Ye Wei, who was worried about the competition between the young generations of the Ye and Du families and the safety of his cousins, was extremely anxious. He ran all the way, and even though his cultivation had already reached the Third Star Apprentice realm, his body was still struggling, and he was exhausted.

All eyes instantly focused on Ye Wei.

Du Yuanming, Zhou Wu, Dong He, and the others looked at Ye Wei with a mix of surprise and doubt. Ye Wei had been taken away by the Dao vessel carriage, likely to meet Master Yi. They wondered what the outcome was?

"Xiao Wei, did you see Master Yi?" Ye Zhengqing stared intently at Ye Wei, who was still panting heavily, and asked with a tense expression.

The Ye family members also looked at Ye Wei expectantly.

"Y-Yes..." Feeling the burning, expectant gazes of his clan members, Ye Wei slowly lowered his head and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

Ye Wei's cheeks were flushed with shame and embarrassment!

The Du family, the City Lord's residence, General Zhou Wu, and Dong He of the Linghe Chamber of Commerce were all eyeing the Ye family with hostility. His grandfather, uncles, father, younger uncle, and younger aunt were all waiting for his good news.

But he...

Thinking about the results of the divine pattern compatibility test, Ye Wei tightly pressed his lips together. The bitterness in his heart was indescribable. His tightly clenched fists, due to the excessive force, caused his slightly sharp nails to dig into his palms, but Ye Wei seemed to feel no pain at all.

What good was meeting Master Yi? What good was having a soul perception comparable to a divine pattern master? What good was being proficient in divine pattern knowledge? With his divine pattern compatibility worse than an ordinary person, he had no hope of using divine powers, let alone becoming a high-ranking divine pattern master.

"What did Master Yi say?" Ye Zhengqing felt an uncontrollable excitement in his heart.

Ye Wei was definitely a born divine pattern master. In just three days, he had helped Ye Zhong perfect three Spirit Rank divine powers.

Perfecting three divine powers in three days and even enhancing the White Tiger Killing Power by one rank, even a true divine pattern master would find it difficult to do so, but Ye Wei had accomplished it!

With Ye Wei's talent, he would surely gain Master Yi's favor and might even become his personal disciple. With Master Yi's cultivation, it might not be long before Ye Wei could become a divine pattern master!

Ye Zhengqing had devoted his entire life to the Ye family, but he ultimately lacked the strength. Throughout his life, he could only watch as the Ye family gradually declined, and the pain in his heart was unimaginable. His youthful dreams had been shattered by reality. Although he was already at the Third Star Condensation Realm, he was also an old man on the verge of death.

What he yearned for most was to have a few accomplished descendants!

"I'm sorry..." Ye Wei's expression was dim, and he felt as if his heart was being pierced by needles, sensing everyone's earnest expectations.

Ye Zhengqing's heart trembled. Ye Wei's meaning was already very clear. Although Ye Wei had met Master Yi, he had not gained his favor, let alone become his personal disciple. A bitter feeling welled up in Ye Zhengqing's heart. Yes, becoming a disciple of Master Yi, how could it be so easy?

"Xiao Wei, you've done your best. Since that's the case, we don't need to fight anymore. We can only give up the North Mountain Bay ancestral land and move out of Qingyue City..." Ye Zhengqing had thought about fighting to the death with the Du family, but for the sake of the hundreds of people in the Ye family, he had to swallow his pride.

At this moment, Du Yuanming, Zhou Wu, Dong He, and the others had new thoughts.

"Brother Zhou, Brother Dong, it seems the Ye family is just putting up a false front. If Master Yi really wanted to come, he would have arrived in the Dao vessel carriage long ago!" Du Yuanming sneered, his doubts completely gone, feeling extremely satisfied.

"Brother Du is absolutely right!" Dong He laughed heartily, "Without a divine pattern master backing them, the small Ye family is nothing to fear."

"If the Ye family doesn't give us an explanation today, they won't see the sun rise tomorrow!" General Zhou Wu grunted, a cold and fierce aura emanating from his body.

Ye Zhengqing slowly raised his head and glanced at Ye Zhong on the field. If the fight continued, Ye Zhong would surely die. Ye Zhengqing said loudly, "Du Yuanming, we, the Ye family, admit defeat. North Mountain Bay is yours!" Although he was filled with sorrow and unwillingness, Ye Zhengqing felt helpless.

The Ye family finally gave in. The young nobles who had been watching the scene whispered among themselves. When the Ye family hadn't given in, they had been watching with a sense of curiosity, wondering how long the Ye family could hold out. Now that the Ye family had given in, they couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow, as if they were seeing a rabbit die and feeling sorry for the fox.

Today it's the Ye family, but who knows when the same thing might happen to them!

"Is it over just like that? Ye Zhengqing, you underestimate the Du family too much!" A hint of malice flashed in Du Yuanming's eyes. The Du family and the Ye family were already at a point of no return, how could he let the Ye family off so easily?

"Du Yuanming, what more do you want?!" Ye Zhengqing's expression darkened, and he looked sharply at Du Yuanming. Ye Zhengqing now had only one thought: to protect Ye Zhong and Ye Wei, perhaps the Ye family still had a chance to rise again!

"Ye Zhong injured Han Yue, he can't just walk away unscathed! Disable his hands and feet!" Du Yuanming's voice was like it came from the depths of hell. His gaze swept over the many young members of the Ye family and finally landed on Ye Wei, pointing at him and saying, "In addition to Ye Zhong, I want to disable him too!"

Eliminating all possible threats at the earliest stage was Du Yuanming's style! Otherwise, the Du family wouldn't have risen to become one of the three major families in Qingyue City in just a hundred years.

Seeing Du Yuanming's snake-like eyes, Ye Wei's heart was filled with hatred and anger, but he hated himself for not having enough strength!

Ye Wei's mind was in turmoil, emitting waves of golden light. At this moment, he yearned for great strength more than anything.

The Ye family was being bullied so much, yet he could do nothing about it!

"Du Yuanming, don't push us too far!" Ye Zhengqing could no longer hold back and roared. If Ye Zhong and Ye Wei were disabled, the Ye family would have no hope of rising again, which would be no different from being killed in battle.

"Pushing you too far? Is there? I, Du Yuanming, have always acted with a clear conscience!" Du Yuanming laughed wildly, the aura of a Seventh Star Condensation Realm powerhouse pressing down on the Ye family like a mountain.

"I'll say it again, although the Ye family has fallen, we are not to be trifled with. I've lived long enough, and I'm tired of living!" A determined look flashed in Ye Zhengqing's eyes, "We might as well fight to the death!"

"Ungrateful! Fight to the death? With what right do you have?" Du Yuanming sneered, "What qualifications does your Ye family have to be arrogant in front of my Du family? I've been patient, not because I fear the Ye family, but because I fear the divine pattern master! Since your Ye family has no divine pattern master backing you, what is a mere Ye family? Fight to the death? You need to see if your Ye family has the qualifications to fight with my Du family!"

The Ye family members were filled with righteous indignation, their fighting spirit soaring. Waves of essence energy condensed and surged toward Du Yuanming.

Boom!

The collision of essence energy was like a thunderclap.

A wave of energy rolled out, like a mountain collapsing and a sea surging.

"Since the Ye family is so unreasonable, don't blame us for taking action!" Dong He narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Dong He and Zhou Wu also acted, a vast and overwhelming aura sweeping over the Ye family members!
