12: Chapter 12 The Ye Family Crisis

"Where are you going?" Chen Zhiwen asked, gazing at Ye Hao's back.

"Back. I've made up my mind. My Family is still in danger; I cannot just leave like this."

"Even if I die, I will die with my clansmen. I cannot lose the dignity of our Ye Family!" Ye Hao replied.

Hearing this, a trace of emotion and appreciation appeared in Chen Zhiwen's eyes.

"I will accompany you back."

"How could the prestige of the Ye Family of the War Prince's Mansion be insulted by a mere Zhang Family?"

Having said that, Chen Zhiwen signaled to Xiaoqing, then walked to Ye Hao's side and grabbed his shoulder. Their figures suddenly vanished from the spot.

...

Inside a towering and majestic city.

The Ye Family, once the number one Family in this city, now had their residence turned into a battlefield.

The Cultivators of the Zhang Family had almost completely mobilized, controlling all the clansmen of the Ye Family within the residence.

High in the air, the Zhang Family Head, Zhang Pingzhi, and a luxuriously dressed, spirited young man looked down at the battle of the Ye Family below with disdain.

Under the constant attacks of the Zhang Family Cultivators, more than half of the Ye Family had fallen, leaving only a few struggling desperately.

The Ye Family Head, Ye Shan, raised his head and stared at Zhang Pingzhi, roaring: "Zhang Pingzhi, the Ye Family will definitely repay the hatred of today a hundredfold in the future!"

The roar resounded throughout the sky above the city. The other Cultivators of the city looked at the miserable state of the Ye Family with complex expressions.

After all, the Ye Family had an excellent reputation in this city, and these people had all more or less received favors from the Ye Family.

Yet, at the moment of the Ye Family's life and death, not one of them dared to stand up.

It was only because they were all clear about the gap between the Ye Family and the Zhang Family; even if they stood up, it would just be a futile death.

The Ye Family had produced such a gifted Prodigy as Ye Hao, but Ye Hao had not yet grown up.

There were three experts in the Qi Ling Realm in the Zhang Family, while in the Ye Family, only the Family Head, Ye Shan, had reached the Qi Ling Realm.

The gap between the two was self-evident.

"Ye Shan, it's come to this point, and you are still daydreaming? It is simply laughable!" Zhang Pingzhi laughed sinisterly.

"I tell you, I have already sent experts from the clan to hunt down Ye Hao. It is absolutely impossible for him to survive!"

"Don't even dream that there will be anyone left to avenge you in the future! Hahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Shan and the Ye Family members' faces darkened, their hearts falling completely to the bottom.

"Family Head Zhang, stop wasting time here, hurry up and finish it," the young man beside Zhang Pingzhi said indifferently, looking bored.

Zhang Pingzhi nodded with a flattering smile, "Good! We will do as Young Master Tang says."

"Don't hold back anymore, quickly kill everyone from the Ye Family!"

"Yes!" After receiving the order, the Zhang Family members held their weapons and charged towards the Ye Family members with fierce gazes.

The two Elders of the Zhang Family with Qi Ling Realm cultivation each unleashed their Divine Ability, attacking Ye Shan directly.

"Is the Heavens truly going to destroy my Ye Family?" Ye Shan looked up, a look of despair on his face.

Just at this moment, two figures suddenly appeared silently inside the Ye residence. The Zhang Family members stopped and were stunned.

The two were none other than Chen Zhiwen and Ye Hao.

Chen Zhiwen looked around and secretly breathed a sigh of relief; fortunately, he had not arrived a step too late.

When Ye Shan saw Ye Hao, a look of surprise and joy appeared on his face, but then he suddenly became angry and scolded: "Didn't I tell you to hurry and leave? Why did you come back!"

Ye Hao's eyes were red as he said: "Uncle, this matter started because of me, how could I possibly just run away like this?"

"Even if I die today, I will die together with everyone!"

Ye Shan's expression changed, and finally, he sighed with relief, "You child..."

"Alright, stop talking about death at every turn. With me here today, no one can take your lives," Chen Zhiwen said.

Ye Shan noticed Chen Zhiwen at this time and looked at Ye Hao inquiringly, "Who is this?"

"Uncle, just now I was being hunted by people from the Zhang Family, and it was this Senior who saved me."

After learning that Chen Zhiwen was Ye Hao's savior, Ye Shan gratefully cupped his hands at Chen Zhiwen, "Thank you, Your Excellency, for your help."

"No need to thank me. I have a deep connection with your Ye Family, and having encountered this, I naturally would not stand by and watch," Chen Zhiwen said indifferently.

A deep connection with the Ye Family?

Ye Shan was full of confusion; no matter how he thought about it, he could not remember knowing the person in front of him.

Before Ye Shan could speak, the young man beside Zhang Pingzhi high in the air was filled with murderous intent the moment he saw Ye Hao.

"Ye Hao! You are actually still not dead!" the young man said through gritted teeth.

Ye Hao looked up upon hearing the voice. When he saw the young man, he was slightly stunned, then guessed something, his expression turning grim.

"Tang Jie, so it was you directing everything behind this!"

Tang Jie grinned coldly and said disdainfully: "Even if you know it was me who directed it, so what?"

"Ye Hao, half a year ago you defeated me in front of a crowd of Cultivators and took away my sixteenth place on the hidden dragon ranking."

"Weren't you very full of Divine Qi back then? I want to see if you still have Divine Qi now?"

"Zhang Pingzhi, let your people do it. I want the entire Ye Family to die!"

"Very well, Young Master Tang." Zhang Pingzhi nodded with a smiling face, then waved his hand.

The Zhang Family members below charged towards the Ye Family members once again.

Watching the Zhang Family members charging over, Chen Zhiwen's expression remained unchanged, and he slowly raised his palm and clenched it.

The sharp sword in the hand of a Ye Family clansman flew out of his hand and into Chen Zhiwen's.

"You don't need to do anything, just leave it to me." Chen Zhiwen said indifferently. Before the words fell, he had already rushed out.

Seeing Chen Zhiwen rushing towards them, the two Elders of the Zhang Family grinned, "Seeking death!"

The two pinched seals with both hands, and two palm prints condensed from Spiritual Qi smashed towards Chen Zhiwen.

In response, Chen Zhiwen just calmly waved the sharp sword in his hand, the blade forming a beautiful arc in the air.

The two palm prints were instantly severed by the Sword Qi bursting from the blade. Before the two Elders could react, the Sword Qi had already forced its way before their eyes.

Under the shocked gazes of everyone in the Ye Family, two heads flew high into the air.

Chen Zhiwen coldly swept past the corpses of the two Zhang Family Elders and slaughtered towards the others of the Zhang Family.

Chen Zhiwen was as fast as thunder, his figure constantly weaving between the Zhang Family members, and no one could see the movements in his hands.

They only saw that regardless of the opponent's cultivation, when Chen Zhiwen swept past, their heads would already have flown off.

Looking at this terrifying scene, everyone's expressions were instantly stunned.

It was not until Chen Zhiwen indifferently flicked the blood off the blade and stood in the center of the corpses.

That the crowd suddenly came back to their senses, discovering that all the Zhang Family members present, except for Zhang Pingzhi, had become headless corpses.

The Ye Family members cheered for surviving the disaster, while a sense of unprecedented terror surged in the hearts of Zhang Pingzhi and Tang Jie, completely enveloping them.
