175: The terrifying Ye family came to our door.

Ye Wushang's words once again plunged many people into silence.

This seemed to make sense.

Su Chen was not very old, yet he already possessed the strength to slay a Peak Supreme Saint; there was a high probability he had obtained some Immortal Legacy.

To put it more grandly, Su Chen might even become the key to breaking the deadlock in the future.

These words were also being echoed by many throughout the Xuantian Realm.

Because over these years, Su Chen was the most dazzling and abrupt individual, someone no one had anticipated.

Add to that the fact that a child of luck had now appeared in the Eastern Region.

These were all variables.

Seeing the crowd's silence, Ye Wushang spoke again: "You must not forget that the Xuantian Realm will face a crisis of annihilation in the future, and it will be a life-or-death struggle with only two outcomes."

"If the Eastern Region is destroyed, do you really think we can survive?"

"You want to hide, but can you really hide from it?"

His words could be described as very direct. Many within the Ye Family currently thought this way; some even wanted to leave the Xuantian Realm entirely.

However, no one knew what the situation was like outside the realm, and the risks were far too great, so few agreed with that approach.

Of course, many also disagreed with his statement.

They could die, but they absolutely could not be the first to die.

If the battle reached the end and only the Ye Family remained, then their destruction would be understandable.

But if they died and the Xuantian Realm still won, it would be a massive loss for them.

Ye Qingcang sat at the very top with an indifferent expression, watching the crowd argue until it was nearly over before he finally spoke:

"The Eastern Region involves much; it is indeed inappropriate to let Qingling enter a marriage alliance with the Su Family."

"Furthermore... Su Chen's strength cannot be considered top-tier combat power, though reaching Supreme Saint within a mere two hundred years and transforming the dying Eastern Region into its current state is indeed breathtaking."

"However, this Clan Head is quite interested in the treasures he carries."

As Ye Qingcang spoke, a flicker of heat and greed emerged in the depths of his eyes. According to their analysis, Su Chen had definitely obtained some Immortal Treasure Trove.

To be able to transform the precarious Eastern Region into such a state and Breakthrough to Supreme Saint so quickly, it must be an extraordinary treasure.

If he could obtain it for himself, wouldn't he be able to Breakthrough to Quasi-Emperor very soon?

Although the Xuantian Realm could not accommodate Quasi-Emperor experts, their Ye Family possessed secret treasures left behind by Great Emperors of the past. These treasures contained their own worlds where one could Breakthrough.

If he could Breakthrough to Quasi-Emperor before the great war, it would significantly increase the chances of survival.

Soon, Ye Qingcang masked that heat.

"This Clan Head has already discussed this matter with the Old Ancestor. That Su Chen is also half a member of the Ye Family. If he is willing to submit to our Ye Family and offer up the treasures he obtained, the marriage alliance can be negotiated."

"Otherwise..."

Ye Qingcang's tone suddenly became incomparably cold.

Ye Wushang's brow furrowed upon hearing this. The meaning was very clear: they wanted Su Chen to lead the Su Family and the Eastern Region to seek refuge with the Ye Family.

And he had to offer up his treasures as well.

If he was unwilling, the Ye Family would directly seize them by force, and might even use Ye Qingling as a hostage for blackmail.

Ye Wushang understood these old fogies quite well, so he quickly realized what the Clan Head's words implied.

At that moment, Ye Qingcang looked toward him.

"Thirteenth Elder, although Ye Qingling is your younger sister, she is also a member of our Ye Family. Do you have any objections to this Clan Head's arrangement?"

Ye Wushang felt extremely displeased, but he still said, "I follow your arrangements."

He had long since grown accustomed to the situation among the Ye Family's upper echelon.

There was no familial affection here, only interests.

Everyone was cold-blooded; for the sake of profit, even the slaughter of one's own kin occurred frequently.

But the key was that whether it was Ye Qingling or Su Chen, according to blood relations, these were his closest kin.

With their parents gone, Ye Qingling was his closest relative, and his child Su Chen was naturally next.

Ye Wushang shook his head inwardly. Although born into the Ye Family, he was different from these people.

Perhaps because their parents had died early, the two siblings had grown up supporting each other, so both Ye Wushang and Ye Qingling valued emotions exceptionally highly.

In the past, they even had thoughts of wanting to leave the Ye Family.

Unfortunately, when one is in a quagmire, it is not so easy to get out.

Ye Qingcang was relatively satisfied with Ye Wushang's answer. After nodding, he was just about to speak when a powerful aura suddenly descended upon Mount Cang.

A Supreme Saint!

Ye Qingcang's brow furrowed instantly.

He cast his Divine Sense toward Mount Cang, and his brow furrowed even deeper.

Su Chen and Su Qingtian!

Although it was his first time seeing them in person, he had seen portraits of the two before, so he recognized them immediately.

Moreover, when Su Chen had fought the Clone of Hei Yi earlier, he had also detected Su Chen's aura.

The arrival of a Supreme Saint at Mount Cang instantly set the entire Ye Family ablaze with excitement, and many experts in the Southern Region also immediately probed the area.

The Southern Region was roughly the same size as the Eastern Region, and with the explosion of a Supreme Saint's aura, it would be difficult for others not to notice.

"Interesting. From the looks of it, doesn't it seem like they're looking for trouble?"

"Who exactly is this Supreme Saint? Why have I never seen him before? Wait... isn't this the Lord of the Eastern Region, Su Chen?"

"I heard that the Su Family once had a history with the Ye Family. To think it was actually true. That former Su Family Head, Su Qingtian, seemed to have an involvement with a direct descendant of the Ye Family. Coming to the door like this is probably for that matter."

"This Lord of the Eastern Region is truly overbearing, actually daring to ascend Mount Cang directly like this."

"The Eastern Region is just the Eastern Region; they really are country bumpkins. The Ye Family is an Imperial Clan, with Quasi-Emperor experts from the past still remaining in the clan, and more than one at that. Isn't coming to the door like this just seeking death?"

"Hahaha, perhaps he became invincible in the Eastern Region and got a bit conceited."

In the Southern Region, many people were communicating secretly via their intentions.

They acknowledged Su Chen's strength; after all, he was a Supreme Saint and had even slain a Clone of Hei Yi.

But in their view, Su Chen's behavior of directly coming to challenge the Ye Family was extremely foolish.

If it were against any other power, it would be normal.

But this was the Ye Family!

They were not a small power.

The Ye Family was one of the powers standing at the Peak of the entire Xuantian Realm.

Coming directly to the door with an air of demanding justice—was he really not afraid of inciting the Ye Family's wrath?

Mount Cang.

The Ye Family.

Ye Qingcang sat in his chair, his expression slightly dark, but the Grand Elder beside him suddenly stood up and shouted:

"Presumptuous!"

"Your Excellency has directly intruded upon my Mount Cang Holy Land. Are you trying to make an enemy of my Ye Family?"

As his voice fell, waves of incomparably terrifying auras suddenly erupted from the great hall. These auras combined the strongest group of people in the Ye Family.

The terrifying pressure directly caused the heavens to change color, and the entire Southern Region was shaken by this aura.

Four Supreme Saints!

And so many Ancient Saint and Saint Venerable experts.

The Ye Family was truly terrifying!

Many who lacked understanding of the Ye Family couldn't help but tremble when they saw the terrifying strength the Ye Family displayed.
