Chapter 2323
bySeeing that no one around responded, Ye Hen said lightly, “Luo Jin’s actions are despised by others. Do all friends here want to associate with such a person？”
Under the anger in his heart, he didn’t even have the intention to be polite to Luo Jin and directly called him by his name.
Upon hearing this, the man with a hulking back and a thick waist snorted coldly and said, “Let’s forget about the matter of City Lord Luo. This seat would like to ask that brat surnamed Yang. What enmity does he have with Vice Palace Master Ke Tian of my Heavenly Extreme Palace that he actually killed him in the city lord’s mansion！”
Judging from his tone of voice, it was actually Ruan Hongbo, the Palace Master of the Tianji Palace.
Just like Ye Hen, Ruan Hongbo was also at the Third Level of the Dao Source Realm. Now that his own Deputy Palace Master had been killed by Yang Kai, he naturally couldn’t let it go. So although he despised Luo Jin’s character to some extent, he still came along just to seek justice.
As soon as Ruan Hongbo’s voice fell, someone immediately picked up the conversation and said, “That’s right, that scoundrel also killed my son, Mu Zheng. My Mu Guan and he have a blood feud！”
Ye Hen turned his head and looked over, and immediately saw that the person speaking was Mu Guan, the Building Master of the Baiyun Tower.
Regarding what happened in the City Lord’s Mansion that day, Ye Hen had also asked Ye Jinghan in detail and knew that Mu Zheng was indeed killed by Yang Kai. Yang Kai had also used his flesh and blood to write a big ‘death’ character on the wall to intimidate the guests from all directions.
But when it came to this matter, it was also Mu Zheng who was courting death. Without the ability, yet he insisted on being the first to stick his head out. After being used by Yang Kai as a warning to others, who could he blame？ But obviously, the Baiyun Tower wouldn’t let it go so easily.
That kid injured the disciples of my Wenxin Pavilion. This Pavilion Master is here to ask him for a reasonable explanation.
The same goes for my Duohun Sword Sect. Sect Master Ye, hand over the person to avoid making things ugly for everyone.
As one by one the strong of the Third-Order Dao Source Realm stood up, the complexions of the high-ranking members of the Thousand Leaves Sect gradually changed, but Ye Hen’s expression remained calm. Turning his head, he said to the man with water-blue hair sitting on the sedan chair, “Is Palace Master Qiu also of this opinion？”
Among the people present, he didn’t really fear them too much. The one he feared the most was this man with water-blue hair. This person was Qiu Ze, the Palace Master of the Tianzhao Palace. His strength had reached the peak of the Dao Source Realm. It was rumored that for the past dozen years, he had been in seclusion, comprehending the mysteries of the Emperor Respect Realm in order to break through the bottleneck and advance to the Emperor Realm.
For these dozen years, there had been no news of him going out and being active, but unexpectedly, today this person had actually come to the gate of the Thousand Leaves Sect.
Ye Hen didn’t dare to take this person lightly because he had a great chance of advancing to the Emperor Realm. Once he advanced to the Emperor Respect Realm, no one within a million miles around here would be his match.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Ze smiled slightly and said, “My son, Qiu Yu, is not good at learning skills and suffered a great loss at the hands of that brat surnamed Yang. This seat has come here to invite him to be a guest in my Tianzhao Palace for a few days and, by the way, teach Qiu Yu how to cultivate. They are both young people and should be able to find some common topics. I also ask Sect Master Ye not to refuse.”
What he said sounded good, but everyone knew that this was just an excuse.
Qiu Yu was indeed severely injured by Yang Kai in the City Lord’s Mansion that day. But if it was just this, how could it possibly prompt Qiu Ze to take action personally？ The Tianzhao Palace and the Qianye Sect have had a long-standing feud. One is a newly rising sect that has the hope of dominating this region, and the other is a declining old brand force. If the former wants to establish its prestige, it is naturally better to start with the latter.
As long as the Qianye Sect can be eliminated, the prestige of the Tianzhao Palace will be unrivaled, and by then, he, Qiu Ze, will be the overlord of this area.
“Hand over the person！”
“Sect Master Ye, we have no grudges or enmities with the Qianye Sect. We don’t want to make things difficult for you all, but that bastard surnamed Yang cannot be lightly forgiven. Please don’t cover for him, Sect Master Ye！”
The leaders of several major sects started chattering noisily, putting pressure on the Qianye Sect one after another.
Ye Hen’s brows were tightly furrowed. And the high-ranking members of the Qianye Sect who came with him even had a drastic change in their complexions, feeling extremely uneasy in their hearts.
Although there is the sect-protecting great formation blocking here and the people in front of them should have no way to deal with them, the disciples of the Qianye Sect always have to go out and cannot hide in the formation for a lifetime. If they offend so many forces here, how can the Qianye Sect survive in the future？
At the thought of this, those several high-ranking members of the Qianye Sect all cast their gazes towards Ye Hen one after another.
They didn’t know exactly what relationship Yang Kai had with Ye Hen, and why he would hide in Thousand Leaves Sect after causing such a big mess and bring trouble to the sect. And why did Ye Hen accept him knowing all this！
This was clearly not a wise move.
“Sect Master…” An old man with a 2-layer Dao Source Realm gently called out. Although he didn’t say anything, the meaning was already very obvious.
Yang Kai had no relationship with Thousand Leaves Sect. It might be better to show weakness here, hand over the person to exchange for peace, rather than being blocked at the door like this all the time.
Ye Hen glanced at this old man and said faintly, “I know what I’m doing.”
When the old man heard this, he let out a heavy sigh and didn’t persuade anymore. He was an elder of Thousand Leaves Sect and had watched Ye Hen grow up. He also knew Ye Hen’s temper very well and knew that he wouldn’t act recklessly. So although he was extremely worried in his heart, he still chose to believe that Ye Hen wouldn’t harm the sect.
“Sect Master!” ” Shi Cangying, the deputy sect master of Qianye Sect, suddenly stepped forward and clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: “Shi feels that what these friends said makes sense. That brat surnamed Yang has no respect for the elders and dared to act recklessly in the City Lord’s Mansion. It’s really too much. Moreover, he even wanted to kill someone as highly respected as Lord Ke Tian. Clearly, he is a bloodthirsty and cruel person. No matter what his purpose was before, he must have bad intentions when he came to our Qianye Sect. Shi asks the sect master to hand that brat over to these friends for disposal, so as not to give people something to talk about and say that our Qianye Sect is in cahoots with him and ruining our reputation.”
Qiu Ze smiled and said： “After all, Deputy Hall Master Shi is sensible. Very good, very good！”
Shi Cangying smiled and said： “People do things and the heavens watch. Shi is just following the will of the heavens. Palace Master Qiu is too kind.”
Ye Hen said coldly: “Brother Shi, Ye said before that Young Master Yang is a distinguished guest of our Qianye Sect. No one is allowed to have thoughts about him. If you still consider me the sect master, then don’t say such things again.”
Shi Cangying’s face changed slightly and said： “Sect Master, are you going to ignore the foundation of our ancestors for tens of thousands of years？”
Ye Hen said： “It is precisely because of considering the foundation that Young Master Yang cannot be handed over to anyone.”
The matter of Yang Kai going to repair the secret realm entrance, except for him, only Ye Jinghan knew. He didn’t mention this matter to anyone, so Shi Cangying didn’t know why Ye Hen wanted to protect Yang Kai so much.”
Seeing his expression so resolute, as if he would turn against him if he said another word, Shi Cangying’s heart skipped a beat. Because in his memory, Ye Hen was not such an overbearing existence. Because Ye Hen was old and his cultivation had stagnated, he had been very polite to himself over the years. Logically speaking, no matter what he said, Ye Hen should carefully consider it. Even if he objected, he would not be so harsh. Why was Ye Hen so resolute when it came to that kid surnamed Yang？
Shi Cangying instinctively felt that things were not simple, but he didn’t have time to think about it carefully. His face sank and he said, “Sect Master, are you so bent on going your own way and insist on putting the sect in a deep and dangerous situation? Have you ever thought about the feelings and future of the three thousand disciples in the sect? Your wrong decision can make the sect doomed! As the deputy sect master of the Thousand Leaves Sect, Shi has the responsibility and obligation to consider the sect and the disciples.”
Ye Hen said coldly, “Are you considering for yourself or for the sect？”
Before Shi Cangying could say anything more, Ye Hen shouted sharply, “My mind is made up, get out！”
Shi Cangying was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously trembled. It seemed that he just remembered that the other party was the sect master of the Thousand Leaves Sect, and he was just a deputy sect master.
Outside the mountain-protecting great formation, a group of powerhouses watched coldly, sneering in their hearts. Rumor had it that there was instability within the Thousand Leaves Sect, and Ye Hen and Shi Cangying had many grudges. Now it seemed that it was really the case. These two people, as the pillars of the Thousand Leaves Sect, actually had an internal strife at this time. It could be seen how corrupt the Thousand Leaves Sect was inside.
Such a sect probably wouldn’t be able to hold on for much longer.
Thinking of this, everyone sneered in their hearts, as if they had seen the scene of the Thousand Leaves Sect’s downfall.
Under the eyes of everyone, Shi Cangying was so scolded by Ye Hen, and naturally he couldn’t save face. He became angry and said, “Well, since the Sect Master doesn’t listen to dissuasion, is stubborn and self-willed, and doesn’t care about the safety of the sect, then don’t blame Shi for not treating you as the Sect Master anymore.”
Ye Hen was slightly startled and shouted coldly, “What do you want to do？”
Shi Cangying smiled and said, “The brat surnamed Yang has provoked so many sects, but wants to hide in the Thousand Leaves Sect and bring disaster to our sect. Shi, for the sake of the sect disciples, naturally has to hand the person over. Sect Master, don’t worry. This matter has nothing to do with you. Even if someone blames in the future, it will be Shi who will bear it alone and will not damage your good name！”
He had a solemn and righteous attitude, not hesitating to consider the sect even if his own reputation was tarnished. Suddenly, he aroused the favor of many high-level officials of the Thousand Leaves Sect, and they felt that Ye Hen was indeed a bit autocratic and arbitrary.
Ye Hen seemed to have thought of something all of a sudden and exclaimed in surprise, “How dare you send people to arrest them？”
It was only at this time that Ye Hen noticed that the three confidant elders who had been following Shi Cangying were nowhere to be seen. Those three elders all had the cultivation base of the Second-Order Dao Source Realm. With such strength, those friends of Yang Kai simply couldn’t resist.
The few people that Yang Kai brought only had the cultivation base of the First-Order Dao Source Realm. Although there were also restrictions in the rooms where they lived, those elders knew those restrictions like the back of their hands, and breaking them was just a piece of cake.
Thinking of this, Ye Hen’s expression changed drastically, and he wished he could slap Shi Cangying to death with a single palm.
His daughter had gone through a lot of hardships to invite Yang Kai to the Thousand Leaves Sect to repair the entrance to the Secret Realm, but the vice sect master of his own sect was going to take action against Yang Kai’s friends. If Yang Kai found out about this, how could he explain it？
He had long since planned that even if he offended so many sects this time, as long as Yang Kai could repair the entrance and let the secret techniques of the Thousand Leaves Sect return it would be worth it.
At worst, the Thousand Leaves Sect would seal the mountain for a few years and let the experts in the sect comprehend those techniques and secret techniques. As long as they could mobilize those thirty-odd Dao Source-level puppets in the square, the Thousand Leaves Sect would no longer have to fear any sect, and they would also have a breathing space. With the passage of time, would they still be afraid that those Heaven level puppets couldn’t be driven?
