CHAPTER 101
Establishing the Ye League
Hearing Eunuch Zhang's threat, Ye Fei really wanted to laugh. He looked up to the sky and shouted, "So what if you killed the Crown Prince? It was you who came to destroy my Family Ye first. You even massacred the entire Blackrock City. Could it be that only you are allowed to commit murder and arson while we are not allowed to retaliate?"
That's right!
If Crown Prince Zhao Ji hadn't pushed them too hard and left them no way out, how could they have ended up like this?
In the beginning, when everyone heard the threat of Eunuch Zhang, a half-step Martial Venerable, they were still scared witless. However, when they heard Ye Fei's words, they were shocked. Many people could not help but feel a sense of pride.
"So what if he's the Crown Prince? Could it be that the Crown Prince doesn't care about our lives and treats human lives like grass?!"
"Ye Fei, well done! We support you!"
"Since the royal family doesn't treat us as people, so what if we rebel? The world of martial arts is so big, there are plenty of places for us to stay!"
Encouraged by Ye Fei, many of the youths of Blackrock City stood up and cursed at the sky. Some of the bolder ones even walked over to Zhao Ji's corpse and spat on it.
They had been too depressed just now, and now they needed to vent it out. Only those who had walked through the gates of hell could understand this feeling.
Then, everyone's gaze turned to the front. Ye Fei's straight figure was like a sword. It was this young man who had brought glory to Blackrock City.
It was this young man who had turned the tide and saved the entire Blackrock City.
It was also this young man who had dared to risk universal condemnation by killing the Crown Prince, helping everyone present to vent their frustrations.
"Ye Fei!"
It was unknown who shouted out loud.
"Ye Fei!"
"Ye Fei!"
Even more people started shouting excitedly. They could only express their gratitude by shouting Ye Fei's name.
Many people in the Family Ye lowered their heads. Some of them were ordinary clansmen, but most of them were Family Ye's elders. When Ye Fei was at his lowest point, they mocked Ye Fei without restraint. They treated Ye Fei as a piece of trash.
Now that Ye Fei had risen to prominence and appeared before them as a powerhouse, these people were overjoyed, but what was left was deep regret.
Why? Why didn't they reach out to help Ye Fei like Ye Jian did when Ye Fei was at his lowest point?
As a result, many people from the Ye family, who were clearly the most honored, were too embarrassed to approach Ye Fei and talk to him.
Only a small number of Ye Family members, such as Ye Jian, Ye Chao, and Grand Elder Ye Tianye and Zhou Guang, who had defected to the Ye Family halfway, were qualified to speak with Ye Fei.
"Senior Brother Zhou, it's been hard on you!" Ye Fei first expressed his gratitude to Zhou Guang. He was not a member of the Ye Family, but he could advance and retreat together with the Ye Family.
Zhou Guang had put in a lot of effort for Blackrock City to be able to hold on until he arrived.
"Master, what are you saying? To be able to join Master's family is the best choice I, Zhou Guang, have ever made," Zhou Guang said excitedly.
Zhou Guang joined Ye Fei in the beginning because he wanted to rely on Ye Fei's sister, who was cultivating in the Holy Land, to protect him. However, he had seen Ye Fei's growth with his own eyes and experienced this crisis. Zhou Guang was even more determined to follow Ye Fei.
Ye Jian suddenly frowned. He pointed at the soldiers gathered nearby and said, "Ye Fei, how do you plan to deal with these people? Kill them or capture them? We will listen to your orders!"
Only then did Ye Fei turn around and look at the soldiers of the Black Forest Commandery who were hesitating whether to leave or stay. He took a step forward and said, "The Black Forest Commandery King and the Crown Prince have been killed by me. What, do you want to stay here and be buried with them?
These soldiers were already leaderless. When they heard that Ye Fei was willing to let them go, they heaved a sigh of relief. Many of them were so frightened that they threw away their weapons and warhorses. They ran away as fast as they could.
This boosted the morale of the soldiers of Blackrock City. They believed that after this battle, the entire Blackrock City would know about Blackrock City and Ye Fei's fame.
"Take the others and clean up the battlefield. Treat the injured! Bring the seriously injured here. I'll treat them personally! "Ye Fei said.
"Yes, Young Lord Ye!"
Everyone replied loudly. No one disobeyed Ye Fei's orders. Even the Governor, Zhuang Bufan, did not object.
After this battle, Ye Fei had established absolute prestige in Blackrock City. However, compared to this prestige, Ye Fei hoped that the Old Mansion Master would kill Eunuch Zhang.
Unfortunately, a half-step Martial Honorable expert was one of the top experts in Zhao City. Even if he was seriously injured, it would be difficult to kill him.
After waiting for a long time, the Old Mansion Master did not return. As he still had to deal with the matters in Blackrock City, Ye Fei could only ask Zhao Yu to continue waiting outside. He himself returned to Blackrock City and entered the Family Ye.
At this moment, the Family Ye was extremely crowded. The various Family Heads and Elders of the various families in the city were waiting there. Some of the Family Heads had died in the battle and some of the temporary Family Heads were sitting there.
When Ye Fei walked in, he saw that the meeting hall of the Family Ye was filled with people. The seats were not randomly arranged. Every seat represented the strength of the other party in Blackrock City.
As the Governor, Zhuang Bufan should have sat in the middle of the main seat. However, he did not do so. Instead, he chose to sit in the second seat and gave the main seat to the Family Ye.
As the Family Head, Ye Jian did not sit in the main seat. Instead, he thought for a while and chose a seat that was equal to Zhuang Bufan's. The two of them sat on the left and right of the main seat.
The other families sat according to their strength. When they saw Ye Fei walk in, Ye Jian and Zhuang Bufan stood up at the same time and made an inviting gesture, "Ye Fei, you came at the right time. Come and take a seat. Let's start the meeting."
Ye Fei was shocked and quickly declined, "Uncle Jian, Governor, you are all my elders. How can a junior like me sit above you?"
"Haha, logically speaking, you are a junior. However, when it comes to strength, other than you, who else is qualified to sit in that seat?" Zhuang Bufan said sincerely.
"That's right, Young Lord Ye. Our families are not convinced of each other's strength. However, we are convinced by a young hero like you. Other than you, no one else can sit in this seat!"
"That's right. Young Lord Ye, please take the seat! You are responsible for presiding over this meeting! "
The other families also spoke up to persuade Ye Fei to take the seat. Ye Jian grabbed Ye Fei's hand and said, "Ye Fei, don't refuse. This seat is what everyone wants! If you don't take it, who else would dare to take it? "
As he said that, he pushed Ye Fei to the main seat. Ye Fei could only smile bitterly and shake his head. He knew that if he continued to refuse, he would be hypocritical.
Ye Fei glanced at the elders and patriarchs of the various clans and families and said, "Uncles, what is everyone gathered here to discuss?"
"Young Lord Ye, it's like this. Our families have decided to join the Family Ye and become members of the Family Ye. We hope that Young Lord Ye will take us in!"
Zhuang Bufan was the first to stand up and said loudly.
Then, before Ye Fei could refuse, the elder of the Zhou family, who had lost their family head, also jumped out and said loudly, "Our Zhou family sincerely hopes that Young Lord Ye will take us in!"
"Our Li family too!"
"Our Chen family too!"
"Even if we change our surname to Ye, we will accept it!"
The representatives of each family were very enthusiastic. They only had one goal in mind, and that was to join the Family Ye and seek protection from Ye Fei. Of course, they didn't rule out the idea of working together to resist the royal family's revenge.
After all, the Crown Prince and the Second-Prince of Black Forest were killed by Ye Fei. The families of Blackrock City were also involved. If the royal family wanted to seek revenge, these small families would be finished in minutes. They might as well join the Family Ye and work together. That way, they would have a chance of survival.
Ye Fei more or less understood the intentions of these family heads. When he saw Great Elder Ye Tianye blinking his eyes at him, Ye Fei knew that this was a good opportunity to strengthen the Family Ye. If he could take in so many families to join the Family Ye, the Family Ye's strength would instantly increase by several times.
Ye Fei nodded and said, "Alright, since everyone thinks so highly of our Family Ye, then our Family Ye welcomes everyone to join us! However, even if you join the Family Ye, we won't force you to change your surname! "
"How about this, all the families of Blackrock City will temporarily form an alliance to face the upcoming crisis. We'll call it the Ye Alliance! After everyone joins us, those who are willing to change their surnames will change their surnames. Those who aren't, when there's nothing else in the future, you can bring your own family and go independent. What do you all think? "
Ye Fei thought of a compromise. As he grew, the Family Ye would only become stronger and stronger. There would definitely be more people who would want to join the Family Ye.
However, Ye Fei wouldn't take in just anyone. Therefore, it was necessary to form a temporary alliance. Through this alliance, the Family Ye could observe the families that joined and see which of them they could trust. Then, they could take them in.
As for those families that were forced and secretly half-hearted, the Family Ye could also clear them out at the appropriate time. It could be considered as killing two birds with one stone.
Sure enough, the moment Ye Fei made this suggestion, the gazes of the various Patriarchs present towards Ye Fei underwent an obvious change.
In the beginning, everyone respected Ye Fei because they valued Ye Fei's strength. However, Ye Fei's beautiful alliance plan showed them the unfathomable wisdom behind Ye Fei's strength!
"The Family Ye has produced a hero! Perhaps joining the Family Ye will be the wisest decision I, Zhuang Bufan, have made in my life! "
