Chapter 578: Chapter 577: Requesting a Battle with Ye Xuan

"I am Long Juanfeng, representing the Long Family to extend our congratulations to Brother Mo Yunchui for ascending to the position of Family Head. We present a pair of Flood Dragon boots and a Divine Dragon Whip as tokens of our respect. We hope they meet with your approval and are accepted with a smile," Long Juanfeng said.

The gift-giving ceremony continued.

It was now the turn of the Long Family to step forward and present their gifts.

The person who spoke was the same Long Family Elder who had taunted Ye Hongyi at the entrance to the Mo Family Divine City earlier.

This man was called Long Juanfeng—it was obviously his real name.

In the East Desolation Domain, Long Juanfeng was also quite well-known.

Could those who become Elders of the Long Family be anything but strong?

However, at this moment, there was a trace of ingratiating intent on Long Juanfeng’s face.

Flood Dragon boots and the Divine Dragon Whip—these were treasures rarely found on the market.

Even for the Long Family, who dwell in the Divine Dragon Azure Sea where Flood Dragons swarm, these were not items easily given away.

After all, each Flood Dragon was incredibly powerful.

And the Flood Dragon boots and the Divine Dragon Whip that Long Juanfeng presented were clearly not of ordinary quality.

They could even be close to the Saint King Realm!

Such level of Flood Dragons would be revered as Divine Beasts guarding mountains anywhere else.

"Brother Long is thoughtful. Please extend my greetings to Brother Jin Yang on behalf of this old man," said Mo Yunchui with a slight bow.

"I will surely convey your message to the Family Head," Long Juanfeng said with a beaming smile.

After Long Juanfeng sat down, Ye Hongyi slowly got to his feet, preparing to present his gift to Mo Yunchui.

"Brother Ye Hongyi, there’s no need for the Mo Family and the Ye Family to speak as if we are strangers. Once this affair is concluded, we should have a good drink together," Mo Yunchui spoke first with great enthusiasm before Ye Hongyi could pay his respects.

"Huh?"

This scene took everyone aback.

The Mo Family and the Ye Family...

...speaking like one family?

Since when had this been the case?

Sitting in the back, Li Jichuan of the Purple Mist Sect remained calm, having anticipated this development.

When he had probed Mo Xiangyu earlier, he gleaned one thing for certain.

That Mr. Ye was from the Ye Family!

Given Mr. Ye’s relationship with Mo Yunchui, it was destined that the relationship between the Mo Family and the Ye Family would be extraordinary.

But what Li Jichuan didn’t know was that it wasn’t just because of this matter, but because Ye Xuan had favored the entire Mo Family.

Simply opening the Holy Treasure of the Mo Family was enough, not to mention other matters.

’The situation in the East Desolate is likely to undergo some changes...’ Li Jichuan mused to himself.

After the initial astonishment, the members of the Purple Qi Arena instinctively turned their gaze towards Long Juanfeng, the Elder of the Long Family.

Long Juanfeng, who had been all smiles, now looked as if he had eaten feces, with an extremely unsightly expression on his face.

He had thought that the relationship between the Long Family and the Mo Family might be elevated to a higher level this time.

But now the Ye Family was speaking of being ’one family’ with the Mo Family so directly?

Ye Hongyi was also taken aback for a moment, but then quickly recovered and bowed, "Then I won’t stand on ceremony."

"But the proper custom must still be observed."

"I, Ye Hongyi, on behalf of the Ye Family, present this portion of Blood Sea Divine Bamboo to congratulate Brother Mo Yunchui on assuming the role of Family Head," he announced loudly.

This statement immediately caused quite a stir.

"Blood Sea Divine Bamboo, the Ye Family is really generous. Weren’t they said to be greatly weakened internally?"

"Probably just for show. Nevertheless, the Ye Family is still a top-tier major power in the East Desolation Domain, and it would be a loss of face if they couldn’t present something that matches their reputation," some speculated.

The Blood Sea Divine Bamboo was an extremely rare Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure.

This treasure could only be found in the Eastern Desolate Blood Sea.

The blood sea was so sullied that even a Saint Realm Great Power falling into it would dissolve into bloody water.

This was the reason why the Blood Sea Divine Bamboo was so precious.

Now that the Ye Family was presenting their gift, they were truly bringing out something impressive.

But to many, it seemed the Ye Family was merely putting on a facade.

After all, news of the Ye Family’s internal upheaval had already spread far and wide.

Everyone knew all too well that the Ye Family’s strength had been significantly weakened.

And with the unrest that had occurred more than a decade ago, it was estimated that the Ye Family had not yet recovered.

"Brother Ye Hongyi, you’re truly making things difficult for me," Mo Yunchui feigned a complaint.

"It doesn’t matter," Ye Hongyi said with a smile.

Ye Hongyi knew that Mo Yunchui’s attitude was due to young Xuan, so the Ye Family still had to follow the due rites to avoid gossip.

The gift-giving ceremony continued unabated, lasting for over two hours before it came to an end.

Ye Xuan sat there and had fallen asleep.

Little Meng Chan was idly swinging his legs beside him, bored.

Ye Lingyi, on the other hand, watched with great interest.

After the gift-giving was over, everyone at the Purple Qi Arena was free to mingle. A group of big shots from various parts of the East Desolate were clinking glasses and making merry chatter.

"They say that Mr. Ye who relieved Mo Yunchui of his affliction is here as well. I wonder where he might be," someone said at the banquet.

"I heard from my grandson that this person appeared at the Heavenly Pride Festival in Yingchun Pavilion. He’s a very young man," another person commented.

"And that’s not all. Do you know why Mr. Li from the Medicine Pavilion left? It’s all because his disciple, He Li’an, was crippled by a punch from Mr. Ye."

"He Li’an, that young fellow was said to have great potential. He’s been crippled?"

"Yes, that Mr. Ye is indeed ruthless."

"This means the Medicine Pavilion might make some significant moves."

"It’s hard to say about the Medicine Pavilion, but Mr. Li’s lineage definitely won’t let this lie."

"..."

Such conversations were heard now and then among the banquet.

Today’s events were beyond their expectations.

Whether it was Mo Yunchui or the incidents involving Mr. Li, Ping Zhenyu, everything was unexpected.

And this drew attention to the extraordinary nature of Mr. Ye.

Elsewhere.

Long Juanfeng approached Ye Hongyi.

"Head of the Mo Family." Long Juanfeng came over with a cup and first paid respects to Mo Yunchui at his side.

Next, Long Juanfeng said to Ye Hongyi with a smile:

"Family Head Ye, I hear that your family’s genius disciple who manifested the primordial Hongmeng Heaven is here at Mo Family Divine City. Why not bring him out for everyone to meet?"

His words immediately attracted the attention of many nearby.

At this moment, Mo Yunchui was also present.

Hearing what Long Juanfeng said, Mo Yunchui’s expression was somewhat strange, but he did not interject.

Ye Hongyi had been conversing with Mo Yunchui but raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard Long Juanfeng’s words, "The younger generation has their own ways of dealing with the world. I, an old man, shall not interfere."

Hearing this, Long Juanfeng not only didn’t take offense but even responded with a laughing tone: "I knew you would say so, Family Head Ye. This time, several youngsters from my Divine Dragon Azure Sea have also come. Let them introduce themselves then."

"Ao Tian, Long Chen."

Long Juanfeng softly called out.

Behind him, Long Aotian and Long Chen stepped forward, each paying their respects to the elders gathered around.

In the end, Long Aotian turned to Ye Hongyi and said with clasped hands, "Family Head Ye, I had long heard of a peerless talent from Eternal Mountain. I’ve always wanted to see for myself. Today seems like the perfect opportunity. Why not let that brother come out and meet us?"

This trip to the Mo Family, he had been repeatedly frustrated and was harboring much resentment.

Hearing that the Ye Family’s genius had arrived, it was an excellent opportunity to vent his frustration and, at the same time, suppress the Ye Family to prevent them from getting carried away.

"What do you say, Family Head Ye?" Long Juanfeng asked Ye Hongyi with a smile.

"As I said, the younger generation will act in their own ways," Ye Hongyi could see through the intentions of the Long Family members, but he had confidence in young Xuan’s strength. However, in such a situation, whether Xuan would choose to show himself was not something he would interfere with.

"Alright," Long Juanfeng nodded slightly, then gestured to Long Aotian.

Long Aotian was quick to catch on, and he loudly declared, "Long Aotian of the Divine Dragon Azure Sea challenges the brother from the Ye Family who manifested the primordial Hongmeng Heaven. Do you dare to fight?"

The challenge resounded like a tidal wave, sweeping across the entire Purple Qi Arena.

The distinguished figures who were conversing turned to look in the direction of the sound, their faces revealing surprise.

It had been rumored earlier that Divine Dragon’s son, Long Aotian, wished to challenge the Ye Family’s genius. Now it seemed he intended to carry out the challenge here in the Purple Qi Arena.

In the corner, Ye Xuan, who had been sleeping, was nudged awake by Meng Chan, "Hey, Ye Xuan, someone is challenging you to a fight."

Ye Xuan yawned and mumbled, "Let him keep calling for a while."
