Chapter 1534 - 1511: The Battle That Exposed His Identity!
Cao Mengde and a group of Cao family disciples all harbored a deep resentment towards Ye Huan.
The extent to which they hated Ye Huan was even greater than that of the Sword family.
But there was nothing they could do; they had already lost the chance for revenge at the Hundred Clans Tournament.
"Damn! Ye Huan is so lucky. I originally thought he would get crushed by the Cao family’s genius, but who knew he’d unexpectedly defeat the Cao family disciple and advance to the top eight!"
"What do you mean, Ye Huan? It was clearly the Dragon Sword of the Night that won!"
"Right, it had nothing to do with Ye Huan at all. It was purely the Dragon Sword’s merit!"
"Sigh! Who knows what’s going on? The Dragon Sword actually treats Ye Huan like a treasure, and even more baffling is that the Ling family would send Ye Huan to participate in the advancement match!"
"Why else? They’re definitely seeing the power of the Dragon Sword!"
"I bet now there’s only one person in the whole arena who has a chance to defeat the Dragon Sword, thereby forcing Ye Huan to kneel!"
The spectators were frantically discussing, and then they all turned their eyes to the resting area of the Tian family, where a man with closed eyes, long hair over his shoulders, a graceful demeanor, wearing a luxurious brocade robe and holding a feather fan was.
This man was the leader of the seven core disciples of an ultra-high-tier family, the second family of the Ancient Martial Deep Mountains, the Tian family—a dragon-level genius, Tian Yu!
Tian Yu was the most gifted and powerful super freak of the Tian family in five thousand years!
His strength had reached the pinnacle; at just thirty years old, he had advanced to the ranks of a High-tier Divine King!
He was crowned as the heir to the next Patriarch of the Tian family!
And he had gained the full recognition of the Tian family’s strongest Divine Weapon—the Divine Feather Fan!
To know, the Divine Feather Fan is ranked eleventh in the Huaxia weapon list, an Initial-tier Divine King-level super divine weapon!
Being acknowledged by such a divine weapon is enough to show how terrifying Tian Yu’s Ancient Martial prowess is!
The most crucial is that the Divine Feather Fan possesses a certain indescribably sacred aura, which greatly restrains destructive auras.
Crushing the Dragon Sword of the Night is not a problem.
Plus, with Tian Yu’s terrifying strength at the high-tier Divine King level.
It’s no exaggeration to say, if Ye Huan unfortunately encounters him, he will surely suffer a cruel blow!
"I hope Ye Huan meets Tian Yu and gets beaten by him until he’s on his knees begging for mercy; only then can we sate the hatred in our hearts." The audience prayed silently.
Meanwhile, Cao Mengde received a phone call that made him ecstatic.
"Patriarch Cao, this is Ling Dongfang, head of the draw department of the Hundred Clans Tournament committee, offering you a chance to change the draw. Do you need it?" Ling Dongfang said indifferently over the phone.
This call seemed unnecessary, after all, the Cao family was already out.
Why bother to change the draw?
But in fact, Cao Mengde was eager to seize this opportunity!
"I want this opportunity, Ling brother, name your price!" Cao Mengde said eagerly!
"Fair deal: fifty thousand gold coins!"
"Damn, that’s expensive?!"
Cao Mengde almost lost his grip on his phone.
Fifty thousand gold coins?
Even though he desperately wanted to manipulate things so that Ye Huan would meet Tian Yu to indirectly use Tian Yu for revenge,
but fifty thousand gold coins were still too expensive.
The Cao family was richer than the Sword family, but fifty thousand gold coins was still a huge sum, equivalent to the family’s GDP for two years!
"Patriarch Cao, this is already a very reasonable price. If you don’t need it, I’ll find someone else. Goodbye..." Ling Dongfang said, pretending to hang up, prompting Cao Mengde to quickly call out, "Wait!"
"Fifty thousand gold coins it is, Ling brother, do me a favor and arrange it so that when the Ling family and Tian family clash, Ye Huan faces Tian Yu through the draw!" Cao Mengde gritted his teeth, enduring the heartache, his heart bleeding.
Fifty thousand gold coins is too expensive, but I must buy it!
Cao Mengde couldn’t swallow this bitter resentment, with the family falling from tier-one to tier-two, and the dragon child perishing at Ye Huan’s hands, the family’s vitality might not recover for a hundred years.
If Ye Huan doesn’t get the punishment he deserves, how will the Cao family survive in the Endless Deep Mountains? How can it establish its prestige in the future?
Ye Huan must face Tian Yu!
Leverage Tian Yu’s hand to give Ye Huan a painful lesson!
Cao Mengde thought sinisterly.
Unbeknownst to him, Sword of Impermanence from the Sword family also received the same call.
Ling Dongfang offered him the chance to adjust the draw for just fifty thousand gold coins.
Sword of Impermanence hesitated for a moment through clenched teeth and finally decided: spend fifty thousand gold coins to let Ye Huan face Tian Yu, and be beaten into a dead dog by Tian Yu!
Of course, that wasn’t enough!
Cao Mengde and Sword of Impermanence went to the Tian family’s competition area one after the other, presenting various treasures worth ten thousand gold coins to Tian Yu, gently requesting that Tian Yu doesn’t fight "too conservatively."
The implication being to go hard on Ye Huan!
For Tian Yu, this was a surefire deal with no loss. Killing a useless Ye Huan who purely relied on the Dragon Sword could easily net him twenty thousand gold coins, why not?
Tian Yu gently waved his fan, a slight smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, unexpectedly encountering such a good deal.
Ye Huan, just a mid-tier Divine King relying solely on the Dragon Sword to get this far, wasn’t even worth his attention.
And as long as he kills this worthless character, twenty thousand gold coins would roll in.
It’s practically like money falling from the sky.
Tian Yu naturally agreed.
Cao Mengde and Sword of Impermanence left back-to-back, both coincidentally showing sly smiles on their faces, almost ready to burst into maniacal laughter.
With Tian Yu making a move, the vengeance is certain!
But what they didn’t know was that all of this was within Ling Family’s calculations!
The only reason Ling Dongfang proactively contacted them was because Ling Wuye instructed him to do so, purely to scam them, by instructing Ling Dongfang to reach out to Cao Mengde and Sword of Impermanence!
Ling Wuye had originally planned for Ye Huan to confront and compete with the strongest geniuses of the young generation outside the Ling family on the stage of the Hundred Clans Tournament this time!
In Ling Wuye’s view, Ye Huan had at least a 50% chance of winning against Tian Yu!
If Ye Huan wins, it would be defeating the myth among the young generation of the Ancient Martial Realm—a leap-frog victory under the dual advantage of strength and age against Tian Yu!
Even if Ye Huan isn’t strong enough and loses to Tian Yu, it would still bring great trouble to Tian Yu and present the audience with a thoroughly entertaining Ancient Martial duel!
Win or lose, Ye Huan will showcase his formidable strength, making himself known throughout the Endless Deep Mountains and deeply shocking all attendees!
If he lost, Ye Huan wouldn’t lose face!
If he won, Ye Huan would gain fame throughout the world!
The true identity of the Hundred Clans Leader and Huaxia’s Dragon Child will be truly revealed in the final battle of the Hundred Clans personal match!
As for those hundred thousand gold coins...
Ling Wuye was already arranging future funds for Ye Huan, providing convenience for his plans to eliminate the sequence.
Isn’t it fitting to have those two foolish families cover this cost?
"Sword of Impermanence, Cao Mengde, soon, I will have a grand surprise for you," Ling Wuye muttered to himself, a sly and calculated smile curving his lips!
