Cang Huai Mie was the best example.
It wasn't that Cang Huai Mie didn't lack talent, nor did he lack a superior battle physique. He was fully qualified to compete for the title of Strongest of All Ages. However, his temperament was too weak. Just this point alone made him a loser.
Ever since he was the first successor of a paramount orthodoxy, he had been arrogant and condescending. Among the successors of paramount orthodoxies, he was even able to fight evenly with the successor of the Temporal Temple, Lu Yaoxing. Lu Yaoxing had always viewed him as a formidable opponent.
However, as time passed, Lu Yaoxing surpassed him and defeated him. Even those who were weaker than him defeated him time and time again.
The mockery of his enemies, the abandonment of the Undying Heaven Palace, and the disdain and disappointment of his clansmen. These external factors began to affect him, truly distorting his temperament and reducing him to mediocrity.
He, Cang Huai Mie, was no longer the genius he once was. He was no longer the successor of the Undying Heaven Palace. He had even been abandoned by the Cang Clan. All these setbacks had caused him to begin to fall. His heart had become twisted and dark to the extreme. He no longer had the chance to become the strongest throughout history, let alone compete with the younger generation.
Ye Xuan was different. Ye Xuan's style and methods proved that Ye Xuan's temperament was as firm as a boulder. He was decisive and merciless.
He dared to confront a strongest throughout the ages and kill without any hesitation. It didn't matter who your backer was. There was no one in the world that Ye Xuan didn't dare to kill.
Moreover, Ye Xuan was extremely shrewd. All the signs pointed to Ye Xuan's impeccable character.
If even someone like Ye Xuan couldn't become a strongest throughout the ages, then Cang Huai Mie didn't believe that anyone in the world could surpass Ye Xuan.
A strongest seed?
A heaven-defying monster?
What a joke, it was all a joke.
It wasn't that Cang Huai Mie hadn't seen these people before. Some were refined and courteous, some were lofty, some were murderous, and some were arrogant.
However, this was nothing more than a facade. It was just a posture that they put on themselves.
Ye Xuan, on the other hand, was different. He would do anything to achieve his goals. His goals were all very simple.
Get stronger, get stronger, get stronger!
This was an invincible belief, and it was also something that Cang Huai Mie saw. That's why he chose to be Ye Xuan's dog. It was because he believed that even though he couldn't become the strongest throughout the ages, as long as he followed Ye Xuan, he could become an existence that was second only to one person.
"Shameless."
"Traitor."
"You deserve ten thousand deaths."
In the midst of the condemnation, Cang Huai Mie sneered again and again. He no longer had any feelings for the Cang Clan and hoped that Ye Xuan could kill the Cang Clan Patriarch and come back to destroy the entire Cang Clan.
Three days later!
Boom!
Two streams of light descended from the starry sky. Following a loud explosion, Ye Xuan and Cang Haotian appeared at the same time.
However, the two of them exuded an extremely terrifying aura. Their bodies were stained with blood, as if each of them had suffered different kinds of injuries.
"Mister Ye!"
Looking at Ye Xuan's reappearance, Cang Huai Mie was overjoyed. Even though he saw that Cang Haotian was fine, Ye Xuan's state was still calm. Clearly, he hadn't fallen into a disadvantageous position.
At this moment.
Cang Haotian's expression was grave and stern. He didn't speak or move as he stared at Ye Xuan. No one knew what he was thinking and no one knew the outcome of this battle.
On the other hand, Ye Xuan was smiling. His smile was very deep, so deep that no one could understand him. It gave off an extremely mysterious feeling.
"Cang Clan Patriarch, I'll give you one more chance. It'll be great if you agree. If you don't, then I'll slaughter all of your clansmen one by one. When that time comes, the Cang Clan will no longer exist in this world." Ye Xuan smiled.
"You …?"
Cang Haotian roared with hatred. However, he couldn't say anything after that. He could only look at Ye Xuan with an extremely grave expression. There was also a fear that he had never shown before.
In the previous battle, even though he didn't lose, he suffered a great loss. It wasn't that he wasn't a match for Ye Xuan, but that his various great techniques and Great Void Combat Body couldn't harm Ye Xuan at all.
"Tell me, who are you? You're definitely not one of those heaven-defying monsters. Even a heaven-defying monster wouldn't be as strong as you!"
Cang Haotian questioned gloomily. He wasn't praising Ye Xuan. Instead, he was stating a fact. He could fight against an Immortal Realm expert who had opened the sixth Heaven Gate, but Ye Xuan actually made him suffer a loss. Even a heaven-defying monster wouldn't have such ability.
It wasn't that Cang Haotian was arrogant. His Great Void Combat Body had endless mysteries. Coupled with his cultivation that had opened the fifth Heaven Gate, unless a third stage Immortal Realm expert could crush him, he wouldn't fear anyone.
"Who I am isn't important. What's important is your choice. Do you agree or not?"
* Boom! *
The five fingers were like the sky. The sky exploded. The Hand of Heaven covered the sky and was already pressing down on the Cang Clan. This was Ye Xuan's cold-blooded and merciless method. As long as Cang Haotian didn't agree to his request, he would immediately destroy the Cang Clan and turn this place into a scorched land.
The six desires were merciless and the heaven and earth were heartless.
In order to achieve what he wanted, there was nothing that Ye Xuan didn't dare to do. It didn't matter if one said that he was using the Cang Clan to threaten Cang Haotian or that he was shameless. As long as he could achieve his goal, Ye Xuan didn't care what others thought of him.
Those who achieved great things didn't care about trifles.
Ye Xuan never thought of himself as a bloodthirsty person. However, he knew that killing was a very good method that could solve a lot of problems for him. And that was enough for him.
"You're going too far!"
Cang Haotian roared. He didn't expect Ye Xuan to be so shameless as to use his clan to threaten him. However, such a shameless method was indeed very useful and simple. It really made Cang Haotian hesitate.
"I'll count to three. If you don't agree after three, you know the result."
Ye Xuan smiled faintly and said, "One … Two …"
"Three!"
Boom!
Ye Xuan didn't waste any time. He didn't give Cang Haotian any time to think. His five fingers seemed to be holding up the ancient sky as the Hand of the Heavens that blotted out the sky and covered the sun descended in a terrifying manner.
Rumble!
The heaven and earth trembled and the earth cracked. Many Cang Clan members cried out in fear because Ye Xuan's unparalleled technique was too terrifying. It would really take their lives.
"I agree!"
At this critical moment, Cang Haotian roared in anger. He was extremely sullen.
Weng!
The void rippled and the ripples spread out. The Hand of Heaven disappeared and the heaven and earth returned to normal. The killing intent from before no longer existed. Only Ye Xuan's smile hung on his face.
"That's right. If the Patriarch had made this choice earlier, there wouldn't be so much trouble."
Ye Xuan strode forward and patted Cang Haotian's shoulder affectionately. He even put his arm around Cang Haotian's shoulder and walked into the Cang Clan. It was as if they were close friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.
