778: Chapter 778 The Yan Family is Enraged!

"Ding!"

Just then, the elevator door opened, and Bing Lan walked out.

She was wearing a moon-white professional OL suit.

Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders, and she wore black silk stockings over long legs.

She gave off a cold and stunning impression...

As soon as she emerged, she scanned the "carnage" around her and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "What happened?"

Li Qin stepped forward, holding the gold bars, her face full of triumph.

"Sister Bing Lan!"

"You don't know, Younger Male Cousin was so fierce just now!"

"Some people from the Kunlun Ruins Yan Family came. As soon as they entered, they told Younger Male Cousin to change his surname, saying he should change it to Yan, call himself Yan Chen, and even told him to kneel and thank them for the grace!"

"Younger Male Cousin didn't say a word, he just pinned that Third Elder Yan Tianmu to the ground and beat him up! He beat him so hard even his own mother wouldn't recognize him!"

She paused.

She held up the gold bars in her arms and waved them in front of Bing Lan.

"This is what they gave as compensation! There are over a dozen gold bars!"

"It's enough to fix the lobby several times over!"

Bing Lan was stunned upon hearing this, then walked over to Ye Chen, looking him up and down to confirm he wasn't hurt, before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

"Is it resolved?"

Ye Chen nodded and took her small hand: "Don't worry, it's all resolved. If they dare to come again, I will go to the Kunlun Ruins myself, wipe out their entire family, and take all their gold bars."

Bing Lan: "..."

Li Qin clapped her hands upon hearing this: "Good! Younger Male Cousin is domineering! I'll go with you then to cheer you on!"

Bing Lan gave her an annoyed glare.

"Don't you go adding to the chaos."

Li Qin stuck out her tongue, giggled, and stopped talking.

Bing Lan withdrew her gaze and looked at Ye Chen again, her eyes filled with more tenderness.

"Let's go, let's go back and welcome you home."

"Uncle and Auntie have been talking about you, saying you haven't called since you left, and they thought something had happened to you outside."

Ye Chen felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing this: "Okay, let's go."

No sooner had he finished speaking, a roar of an engine came from the lobby entrance, and a black motorcycle stopped at the entrance of the group.

The rider took off her helmet, shook her long silver-white hair, revealing a face so beautiful it was breathtaking.

Yan Qingwu.

She was wearing a black leather jacket that outlined her slender, straight figure, and a pair of long legs stepped into Martin boots, her whole person exuding a capable and dashing vibe.

Yan Qingwu tucked the helmet under her arm, strode into the lobby, and her eyes swept over the mess on the floor, her eyebrows slightly raised.

"Looks like I'm late? Did I miss a good show?"

Ye Chen smiled: "Not late, just in time."

Yan Qingwu walked up to him and extended her hand.

"Where are the things you asked me to send to headquarters?"

Ye Chen took the two fragments from his pocket and handed them over: "These two fragments concern the whereabouts of the key to the bronze gate. As long as we find the other two, that will be it."

"Ah?"

"You really found the clue to the last key?"

Yan Qingwu looked stunned.

If she remembered correctly...

Ye Chen had already obtained eight keys, right?

If this map clue was real, and it wasn't the whereabouts of one of those eight...

Then once the news spread, Ye Chen would probably be hunted down by countless people.

Ye Chen smiled: "Is it strange? This is called luck arriving; no one can stop it."

"Forget it!"

Yan Qingwu took the drawings in annoyance. "By the way, are you going to the Antarctic competition? If yours is real, then the key at the Antarctic competition must be fake."

"It must be fake."

"They just want to trick me into going."

"They even think I only have three, but in reality, I have eight in total."

Ye Chen said indifferently, "So if they want to play, I'll play along, and give them a surprise while I'm at it."

Yan Qingwu was stunned, and then an image of everyone discovering that Ye Chen had more than three keys appeared in her mind...

Hiss!

That's too devastating!

She raised an eyebrow: "Alright, I'll go too. I want to see how our Ancient Tomb Sect leader acts so inhumanly?"

Ye Chen was speechless: "You're such a beautiful woman, why is your mouth so nasty?"

"Can't be bothered with you!"

Yan Qingwu put away the fragments, then waved at Bing Lan and the other, "Sister Bing, I'm going back first."

"Wait a moment."

Bing Lan suddenly called out to stop her.

Yan Qingwu stopped just as she turned around, looking back at Bing Lan.

Bing Lan smiled slightly and invited her: "We're making hotpot at home tonight. You live upstairs, why not come over?"

Yan Qingwu's expression became strange.

"Since the Empress has invited me, I naturally must obey."

Bing Lan's face flushed slightly: "What Empress, don't talk nonsense."

Yan Qingwu smiled.

"I'll come over after I have someone send the things to the capital."

"Waiting for you."

Yan Qingwu flicked her silver hair and turned to leave.

Watching her retreating figure, Li Qin asked curiously: "Sister Bing Lan, why did you invite her?"

"I feel like I should have a sense of crisis," Bing Lan glanced at someone, saying meaningfully, "I need to form alliances."

"Yay!"

Li Qin was excited and started egging her on, "I want to stand with Sister Bing Lan and trample everyone who covets the position in the harem under my feet!"

Ye Chen: "..."

Two days later.

The buzz about Ye Chen's heroic deeds in Eagle Country not only hadn't faded, it was even more intense than before.

In the martial arts world, various myths about him were circulating.

However.

The Kunlun Ruins Yan Family, at this moment, hated this person to the bone.

Inside the main hall of the Yan Family, the lights were bright.

The Family Head, Yan Tianao, sat in the main seat, his face as gloomy as water.

On both sides of him sat the elders and core clansmen of the Yan Family.

Their expressions were equally solemn.

In the center of the hall, Third Elder Yan Tianmu sat on a stretcher.

He was in a pathetic and miserable state.

Not only was he covered in bandages, his face was swollen like a pig's head, and there was a splint on his nose bridge.

"Third Elder, what happened to you..."

An elder couldn't help it, his eyes twitching wildly as he looked at Third Elder Yan Tianmu, "Who beat you into this state?"

If it weren't for the fact that the Third Elder Yan Tianmu in front of them was the one they remembered, they would probably suspect if it was a fake.

Because it was too miserable!

Upon hearing this, Third Elder Yan Tianmu's expression turned ferocious.

"Family Head, Elders! It was that little beast Ye Chen!"

"I went to find him, kindly inviting him to be a guest elder of our Yan Family, but he didn't know what was good for him. Not only did he refuse, he also... also..."

"Also what?" Yan Tianao's voice was cold.

Third Elder Yan Tianmu roared in grief and indignation: "He also pinned me to the ground and beat me up!"

The whole hall: "???"

As Third Elder Yan Tianmu spoke, tears streamed down his face: "After he finished beating me, he even made me... made me crawl out of their company lobby on my knees!"

The whole hall: "???"

Third Elder Yan Tianmu's eyes turned red: "Family Head, I, Third Elder Yan Tianmu, have lived for more than half my life, and I have never suffered such humiliation!"

The whole hall: "???"

Huh?

Did they hear that right?

Made their Yan Family's Third Elder crawl out on his knees?

That Ye Chen was too arrogant, right?!

Suddenly.

Many Yan Family members were instantly enraged.

"Who does he think he is? A brat from the Secular World, daring to insult our Yan Family elder?"

"This breath cannot be tolerated! He must be made to pay the price!"

"Right! Kill him! Wipe out his whole family! Let everyone know the consequences of offending our Yan Family!"

The scene was boiling, the crowd was indignant, and angry curses rang out.

Yan Tianao raised his hand.

The sounds in the hall gradually quieted down.

He looked at Third Elder Yan Tianmu and asked coldly: "What else did he say?"

Upon hearing this, Third Elder Yan Tianmu's eyes burned with even more anger: "He also said that within seven days, our entire Yan Family must change our surname to Ye, otherwise... he would come to the Kunlun Ruins himself and help us change it."

"Boom!"

This sentence was like a bomb, completely detonating in the hall.

"You insolent brat!"

A white-haired elder stood up abruptly from his chair, trembling with rage.

"Our Yan Family has been passed down for hundreds of years, we are one of the Five Clans of the Kunlun Ruins!"

"He, a brat who hasn't even grown all his hair, dares to tell us to change our surname?"

"It's simply a toad yawning — such a big mouth!"

"If we don't kill this person, where will our Yan Family's dignity be?!"

Yan Tianao's face turned icy cold.

"What a good Ye Chen!"

"Our Yan Family gave him face, but he didn't want it."

"Since that's the case..."

He paused, a flash of cold light in his eyes, "Then let him know the consequences of offending the Yan Family."

He turned around and looked at the old man sitting at the front on the left.

"Great Elder."

"Take the Twelve Bronze Men down the mountain and go meet that Ye Chen."

"Remember... don't kill him, sever his hand and foot tendons, make him a cripple. I want him to live in a state worse than death."

The Great Elder bowed slightly: "As you command."

"With the Great Elder making a move, that Ye Chen is dead for sure!"

"The Twelve Bronze Men are one of our Yan Family's town-clan treasures, impervious to blades and spears, fire and water, and their combined attack technique is unique in the world!"

"Hmph, a brat from the Secular World, worthy of having the Great Elder and the Twelve Bronze Men attack together? It's simply using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!"

"That's exactly what needs to be done, so everyone knows the consequences of offending our Yan Family!"

The clansmen discussed one after another, their faces full of confidence and expectation.

A touch of madness flashed in Third Elder Yan Tianmu's eyes.

Ye Chen, just you wait.

The day the Great Elder and the Twelve Bronze Men go down the mountain will be the day you become a cripple!

By then, let's see how you can still be arrogant!

Yan Tianao sat back in the main seat, just about to say something else...

"Family Head!"

A servant rushed in from outside the hall, his face panicked, holding an envelope in his hand.
