Chapter 320: Chapter 321 The Ye Family Has Their Own People

Who?

Everyone turned their heads and saw a group of elders approaching.

The leader was an elder dressed in purple clothes with a long, unfathomable presence.

Next to the elder in purple was a Taoist in a tattered robe.

The elders behind them were also strong, all of them possessing the strength of a Battle Sect level!

"Elder!"

"Why has the Elder come..." Many members of the Ye family were shocked at the sight.

The Elder rarely left his seclusion to interfere in worldly matters, seldom making public appearances!

Ye Hu smiled and said, "So it’s the Elder. Are you planning to take action too? If so, I can leave this Ye Wudao to you!"

The elder in purple said lightly, "Ye Hu, you’ve misunderstood me!"

Ye Hu’s pupils turned cold. "What do you mean?"

"Ye Wudao cannot be killed!" the elder in purple said.

Whish!

A single stone raises a thousand ripples!

Many Ye elders were astonished.

"The Elder has always been fair and impartial. Why would he say such a thing..."

"Indeed..."

Seeing this, Ye Sheng was the first to challenge, "Elder, you are our Ye family’s Elder, and everyone looks up to you. Surely you can’t be turning your back on us and speaking for the enemy?"

Ye Sheng’s words immediately drew agreement from many others.

"The Fourth Elder is right!"

"Exactly!"

As for Ye Hu, he sneered, "Elder, you’ve been harboring resentment against me ever since you were removed from the position of deputy family head by the Family Head, haven’t you?"

"Heh, whether it’s the Elder or the deputy family head, it’s all the same to me! My principle is to treat everyone equally and to reward and punish clearly!" the Elder said calmly.

"Oh? What do you mean, Elder? Are you saying that Ye Wudao is right to kill so many of our clan members?" Ye Hu sneered.

"Right!" The Elder spoke, causing a shock among those present.

"Elder, what do you mean by that?"

"Not only are you favoring outsiders, but you’re even cheering for our enemy?"

Ye Sheng mocked, "I think you are not fit to serve as the Elder of the Ye family!"

Hearing this, Ye Hu chuckled non-stop.

"Ye Wudao is the son of the Northern King, and the Northern King has done a great service for our Ye family! When our Ye family was besieged by several ancient martial arts families and nearly annihilated, it was the Northern King who protected us, isn’t that right?" the Elder said.

Upon hearing the words of the Elder, many fell silent.

Ye Hu sneered, "That was done by the Northern King, what does it have to do with Ye Wudao?"

"You’re really shameless. Without the Northern King, all of you would have died! As the son of the Northern King, you, the Ye family, do not give him a warm reception but meet him with swords drawn. Is this the hospitality of the Ye family?" Old Ghost suddenly stood out and rebuked angrily.

"Old Ghost, you actually came. I thought you had run away..." Ye Wudao was surprised.

"Heh, I am not one to fear death. I specifically went to find the Elder!" Old Ghost laughed.

"Since when does a stinking Taoist get a say in my Ye family’s affairs?" Ye Hu sneered.

"Presumptuous!" The Elder scolded angrily; "He is one of the four Divine Doctors of Dragon Country, a respected guest among various ancient martial arts families. Even if the Family Head were here, he would receive the treatment due to an honored guest, let alone you, Ye Hu!"

What?

The Divine Doctor!

Hearing the title of the Divine Doctor, many felt horrified and shivered!

Ye Hu’s gaze became heavy.

The reputation of the Divine Doctor, he had certainly heard of it!

A life of killing more than he saves!

"Deputy family head, what should we do now?"

"With the Elder protecting Ye Wudao and with the Divine Doctor here, it’s going to be difficult to handle, isn’t it?"

"Should we fight or retreat?" asked some of Ye Hu’s trusted followers.

Ye Hu clenched his fist. Although he had many followers, there weren’t many who were truly reliable!

He wasn’t confident about engaging in a direct conflict with the Elder and others!

Even if he won, it would be a pyrrhic victory!

But to retreat would be unwise too, as it would completely tarnish his reputation!

Everyone would think he was afraid of the Elder!

"Elder, we can negotiate other matters, but not this one!" Ye Hu’s eyes were fixed on Ye Wudao; "I must kill him!"

"Then I shall be your opponent!" The Elder stepped forward.

Whish!

A single stone raises a thousand ripples!

"What, the Elder is willing to fight Deputy Head Ye Hu for the sake of Ye Wudao?"

"That’s insane!" All of the Ye family were stunned.

Ye Hu gritted his teeth, "Elder, are you truly prepared to die for Ye Wudao?"

"Indeed, Ye Wudao is the son of the Northern King, and the Northern King has done a great service for our Ye family! I must protect his son!" The Elder spoke.

Hearing this, Ye Wudao felt a surge of warmth in his heart!

He had not expected that within this cold Ye family of ancient martial arts, there were still his own people!

"Good, good, good!" Ye Hu sneered, "Since the Elder is willing to intervene, then I shall accompany you to the end!"

After a pause, Ye Hu suddenly changed the topic, "However, let’s be clear! If you lose, Ye Wudao must die, and you must leave the Ye family and never return!"

Hiss!

All swallowed their saliva!

The stakes were too high!

All eyes were on the Elder.

Would the Elder give up everything for an outsider?

"Hehe, it’s fine!" The Elder said with a light laugh; "What if you lose?"

"I..." Ye Hu was at a loss for words; he surely couldn’t leave the Ye family!

But seeing that the Elder had already agreed to his terms, he couldn’t let himself be looked down upon, so Ye Hu said through clenched teeth, "If I lose, I’ll voluntarily resign from the position of deputy family head!"

"Deputy family head..." Ye Sheng and others became anxious. If Ye Hu lost, the towering tree they relied on would fall.

The Elder stood with his hands behind his back, smiling faintly, "No need, you are supported by the Family Head, so stay! I just want to tell you that one must be fair in his actions!"
