Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
A few screams rang out in the forest, startling the surrounding birds and causing them to soar into the sky.
In fact, the two fellows' injuries weren't serious. They were only superficial wounds, but in order to get the support of their fellow sect members and elders, they could only use their screams to transmit information.
As expected, the screams of the two immediately attracted the attention of the Emei Sect. The person leading them turned out to be an 'acquaintance' of Qin Lang's.
This person was Ye Aotian.
He was known as a 'martial arts genius' among the Ye family disciples and had always been a disciple of the Emei Sect. Qin Lang had once sparred with this person, but Qin Lang hadn't reached the Mystic Martial Realm back then. However, Qin Lang had already defeated Ye Aotian. Now, Qin Lang's cultivation realm was worlds apart from back then, but Ye Aotian's realm had also improved a lot. It was unknown what kind of fortuitous encounter he had encountered, but he had now reached the Marrow Cleansing realm and was only one step away from the Origin Energy realm. It seemed that the Emei Sect had invested a lot in Ye Aotian. Of course, with Ye Aotian's current age, reaching the Marrow Cleansing realm was indeed something to be proud of.
Today was the trading day of the Pingchuan Province's Jianghu Market. Ye Aotian had been given an important task by the sect: to maintain order around Immortal Peak Temple. At first glance, it seemed like a thankless task, but in fact, it wasn't. Today's Jianghu Market was a high-class market, and those who came to trade were some of the Pingchuan Province's reputable figures. Ignoring everything else, Ye Aotian could use this' platform 'to get to know some influential people in the Jianghu.
Now that the Ye family had declined, Ye Aotian knew that the Ye family's old man, Ye Shiqing, had been stripped of his authority, and the Ye family disciples had been completely controlled. Even the Ye family's overseas assets had been taken away. The Ye family was completely finished. Ye Aotian knew that it was Lu Qingshan, Qin Lang, and the others who were behind it. His first reaction was to go down the mountain and chop Qin Lang and Lu Qingshan into pieces. However, after calming down, Ye Aotian gave up on the idea. As the most talented disciple of the Ye Clan in terms of martial arts, he chose to endure because he knew that the Ye Clan had lost its power. If he wanted to make a comeback, he would have to become a powerful and famous person in Jianghu. Ye Aotian was a smart man. He knew that Qin Lang and Lu Qingshan were only the external cause of the Ye family's rapid decline. The real reason was that the Ye family had risen to prominence in Jianghu, but they had gradually left Jianghu.
Jianghu people were most afraid of becoming rootless duckweed. If a Jianghu person did not have a strong background and did not have a strong backing, he could become a target of others at any time. The Ye family rose to prominence in Jianghu, but after that, the Ye family focused on the military and ignored the management of Jianghu. As a result, the strength of Wolong Hall became weaker and weaker, and it was even reduced to an underworld force. It should be known that Wolong Hall used to be a real Jianghu force. It was a well-known existence in Jianghu in Pingchuan Province. The Ye family neglected the development of Jianghu, which meant that they gradually cut off their roots in Jianghu. When the Ye family was in power, the Jianghu forces in Pingchuan Province would more or less give the Ye family some face. However, when the Ye family declined, who would give the Ye family face? If it was not for Ye Aotian holding on to Li Daiying, the daughter of Emei Faction, his days in the faction would probably be like a year. In the past, there were many people in Emei Faction who were dissatisfied with Ye Aotian.
However, Ye Aotian's position in Emei Faction was still as stable as a mountain. Because he kept Li Daiying running around in circles, he received a lot of elixirs and pills from the faction. He also received personal guidance from many seniors in Emei Faction. That was why his martial arts realm improved so much. He was only one step away from entering Origin Energy. His senior and junior brothers who were dissatisfied with him in the past could only grit their teeth and hate him.
Ye Aotian continued to endure. His goal was not only to become the son-in-law of Emei Faction's leader, but also to become the leader one day. As long as he became the leader of Emei Faction, it should be easy for him to deal with people like Lu Qingshan in the future. Moreover, Ye Aotian wanted to become the leader not only for revenge, but also for fame and power in Jianghu. He liked the feeling of standing at the top of Jianghu and looking down on everyone.
"What's going on? Why are you making such a ruckus here? "
Ye Aotian scolded Qin Lang and the two guards at the entrance. He then looked at Qin Lang, "Who are you? Don't you know where you are? "
"I came to Immortal Peak Temple to make a deal. However, the two of them insisted on asking me for money for the road, and I just happened to be penniless, so there was a little conflict, "Qin Lang explained.
"Nonsense! You are a disgrace to Emei Faction! "Ye Aotian scolded the two guards loudly. He looked like he was doing everything according to the law and was impartial. The two Emei disciples at the entrance acted like they were accepting a lesson, but in their hearts, they were scolding Ye Aotian for being pretentious. If it wasn't for the fact that he had the support of the leader's daughter, Ye Aotian would not have his current realm and status.
After Ye Aotian was done scolding them, he said to Qin Lang, "Fellow Jianghu cultivator, although Emei Faction's people are in the wrong, you shouldn't have attacked them. These two are disciples of Emei Faction, and only people of Emei Faction have the right to teach them a lesson. What right do you have to teach them a lesson? "
Ye Aotian was indeed a descendant of the Ye family. He had the talent to be a politician. Once he said those words, he immediately won the favor of the Emei Faction disciples. Even the two guards at the entrance felt that Ye Aotian's pretentiousness was very appropriate, and he had protected the face of Emei Faction disciples.
In Ye Aotian's eyes, this market trade was a chance for him to show off. Not only did he want to use this opportunity to get to know more people in Jianghu, but he also wanted to establish a good image in front of his fellow disciples. He also wanted to win people's hearts and build a foundation for him to become the leader of Emei Faction in the future. He knew clearly that if he wanted to become the Sect Leader of Emei Sect, it would not be enough to just seduce the Sect Leader's daughter, because the position of Sect Leader of Emei Sect could not be passed down by the previous Sect Leader. It needed all the Grand Supreme Elders and Sect Elders to make a decision together.
Ye Aotian thought that his performance today was very good. The words he said just now were very effective, and the way he handled things was very appropriate. Now, all he needed to do was to suppress this sloppy boy in front of him and make him admit his mistake, kneel down, and beg for mercy. This way, he could protect the face of Emei Faction.
"Kneel —"
