In the capital, in an unknown courtyard.
A stone platform, two stone stools, and a pot of tea were placed on the stone platform. The Azure Dragon had a wry smile on his face, and from time to time, he would fill Ye Xuan's cup with water. Behind the Azure Dragon stood many members of the Earth Group, looking at Ye Xuan with curiosity and reverence in their eyes.
In the Ye Family's courtyard, the strength that Ye Xuan had displayed had already shocked the members of the Earth Group.
They were absolutely certain that this Lord Ye Xuan had long since stepped into the legendary Precelestial Stage. Otherwise, how could he kill with his sword and create such a terrifying might?
The strong were respected, even in this modern city, and the members of the Earth Group all had a sense of arrogance. However, in front of Ye Xuan, their arrogance was completely restrained. This was also their respect for the strong.
"Mr. Ye, you have done something that has shaken the capital today." The Azure Dragon laughed bitterly.
Ye Xuan also knew that today's matter had made things difficult for the Azure Dragon, and he was not someone who did not know what was good for him. He slowly nodded at the Azure Dragon and said, "I will remember this favor in my heart. If you are in trouble in the future, you can come to Jiangnan to find me."
After Ye Xuan finished speaking, he returned the favor and handed an ancient book to the Azure Dragon, "This is a Qi Nurturing Technique. If you cultivate diligently, you will be able to step into the Precelestial Stage in less than half a year."
He never thought that Ye Xuan would actually give him such a heavy gift. This also made him stand up and bow to Ye Xuan, saying, "Such a heavy gift, the Azure Dragon does not dare to accept, but today's matter still needs to be explained to the higher-ups, please stay in the capital for a few days, the leaders might want to meet you."
Ye Xuan slowly nodded. Without needing the Azure Dragon's explanation, he understood that the upper echelons of China would definitely want to meet with him. After all, the Ye family was one of the eight great families in the capital, and although he did not kill the father and son of the Ye family, it had caused a huge negative impact.
"Alright, I'll wait for your news." Ye Xuan said softly.
… ….
At the same time.
The upper echelons of Jingdou were completely shaken. As one of the Eight Great Clans, the Ye family had actually been slaughtered. Furthermore, it was done by a visiting official of the Wuan Bureau's Earth Team. As the leader of the Earth Team, Azure Dragon did not hesitate to offend the Ye family to protect this person. He also did not give the Secretary of Wuan Bureau any face. When this news spread everywhere, the entire Jingdou also strangely quieted down.
The Eight Great Clans of the Capital were deeply rooted in power. In the three realms of the military, politics, and business, they had great speaking rights. Although they could not be said to be of the same breath and branch, they all understood the principle of being intimately connected.
This was no longer a matter of whether the Ye Clan had lost face or not, but it involved the interests of the eight great clans. Today, the Ye Clan had almost been destroyed, and it was hard to guarantee that the other clans would suffer the same fate in the future.
If the upper echelons of Xia Country did not handle this problem well, it would cause a huge earthquake in Xia Country's military, political, and business worlds.
Watching from the sidelines and waiting for the results, this was the attitude of the eight great clans.
The Ye Family and the Nangong Family had entered and exited the residences of the big shots of the Xia Kingdom many times. However, they always walked out with furrowed brows and did not get the results they wanted.
...
Guns were loaded and the security was tight. In a secret meeting room, the four big shots of Xia Country sat upright. The Secretary of Military Security stood beside them, and Azure Dragon stood among them with a calm expression.
Tap, tap, tap.
The sound of fingers tapping on the table was constantly heard. The Grand Marshal of Xia Country, Li Linguo, had white hair and a beard. Although he was already seventy years old, he gave people a sense of dignity without being angry.
"Secretary Lin, are you telling the truth?" Li Linguo frowned slightly, and his expression was very unpleasant.
"Marshal, what this subordinate said is true. This Ye Xuan might have already stepped into the Xiantian Realm and relied on his cultivation to run amok. He even slaughtered over a hundred people in the Ye Family." The Head of Martial Security said with certainty.
"Connate Stage?"
Li Linguo sighed and said, "How rare. This old man has entered the Connate Stage. Although it has been more than ten years, at his age, I am only at the Transforming Strength stage."
"Old Li, you can't say that. Although this person has entered the Connate Stage, he completely ignores the law. If he doesn't give the Ye Clan an explanation, I'm afraid the Eight Great Clans will not let this matter rest." Prime Minister Zhang was in charge of Xia Country's government affairs, so he knew how deep the water was. If it was not handled well, it would cause a great shock to Xia Country.
"Humph!"
"These damn national parasites should have been eliminated long ago. Look at the current military, political, and business world. Who doesn't have people from the Eight Great Clans? If this goes on, I'm afraid the peace and prosperity of Xia Country will be nibbled away by these clans sooner or later."
Xia Tieshan, the Minister of War, said bitterly and continued, "I don't think Ye Xuan did anything. It's a good opportunity to kill these people's spirit and let them know that Xia Country belongs to the people, not a place where they can do whatever they want."
"Old Xia, although you say that, you should know that a slight move in one part will affect the whole situation," Prime Minister Zhang said in a low voice.
"Old Zhang, what do you mean?" Marshal Li Linguo frowned and asked.
"If we don't want to cause a shock to Xia Country, we must punish Ye Xuan." Prime Minister Zhang immediately made a decision.
As Prime Minister Zhang finished speaking, Li Linguo and Xia Tieshan's faces darkened. It was obvious that this decision was not what they wanted.
As the Grand Marshal of Xia Country, Li Linguo was a person who cherished talents. If he really made a move on Ye Xuan, wouldn't Xia Country lose a Connate Stage martial artist?
It had been decades since Xia Country had seen a Connate Stage martial artist. Every appearance of a Connate Stage martial artist was Xia Country's most precious treasure.
"I don't agree," Li Linguo refuted directly.
"This Ye Xuan suits this old man's taste. I don't agree either." Xia Tieshan sneered.
"You two old fogeys, other than praising the so-called martial arts, what do you know? This is not a simple matter, but a major matter that involves the stability of the country." Although Prime Minister Zhang was a scholar, he naturally had to make the right decision when it came to the national interests.
Bang!
Xia Tieshan slammed the table and stood up. He rubbed his fists and said unhappily, "Old Zhang, are you trying to quarrel?"
"Old Xia, why aren't you sitting down? Do you want to fight with Old Zhang?"
Although Li Linguo did not agree with Prime Minister Zhang's actions, he also understood that Prime Minister Zhang's decision was in consideration of Xia Country's overall interests.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the meeting room became intense. The Secretary of Wu'an did not dare to interrupt. Azure Dragon's expression was calm and he did not make a sound.
"Alright, stop quarreling."
Suddenly!
An old man sitting at the head of the meeting room spoke in a low voice. As his voice fell, the meeting room suddenly fell silent.
If there were outsiders present at this time, they would be shocked to find that this old man appeared on television almost every day because he was Xia Country's highest decision-maker.
"Sir, what do you mean?" Prime Minister Zhang glared at Xia Tieshan and then looked at the No. 1 Sir.
