C659 (2/2)

This time's competition was not a competition between the younger generation, but a competition between the stronger and weaker members of the family.

Although there were three people who participated in the comparison between the strong and the weak, the reality was always cruel. The survival of each clan was of utmost importance.

Since the establishment of Nine Dragons Sky Domain, the Four Great Clans had not competed once every ten thousand years. Firstly, it was to promote the growth of the various Clans, and secondly, it was to make use of this opportunity to appear.

Therefore, every time they competed, it was like a fierce battle between dragons and tigers. Every great clan placed great importance on them, and it was also a great opportunity to display their status.

Ye Ling, Emperor Huang and the others stood at the side of the gathered people. Patriarch Ye Tianqiong's expression was ice-cold, as he stood in front of the gathered people.

”Is there a need to be so serious?”

Feng Yu looked around and saw the tense expressions of the Ye Family members that seemed to be extremely serious and respectful. This made him feel that it was a little laughable.

”How can it not be important?”

”The Ye Clan will fall to the bottom twice in a row. If they fall to the bottom this time, the Ye Clan's reputation will be ruined and they will be mocked by everyone.”

The Four Great Clans were like fire and water. This time, although it seemed to be a simple competition, killing intent filled every inch of it, as it was related to the status and reputation of a clan.

From what Huan Xiong had said, he finally realized that this was just an open and secret battle. He thought that he could have a feast for his eyes this time, but unexpectedly, the dangers within were far beyond his expectations.

”Everyone, in three days, it will be the competition between the Four Major Clans, I will send ten clan members with me, and the participants, along with me and Ling'er, will also need a member from the branch family to participate, whoever can take on this heavy responsibility can be recommended!”

Ye Tianqiong looked at the people of the Ye Family, and spoke of the matter of the competition, and the other participants from the other branches, that he mentioned, were useless to him in the first place.

But for the Ye Family's reputation, they couldn't miss a participant. Although he looked strict, he didn't care who participated.

When Ye Tianqiong's words came out, the Ye Family members started to get restless. After going through the Ye Family's internal strife, the branch families were almost all beheaded.

Even if some managed to survive by luck, their strengths were only so-so. They simply could not bear the heavy responsibility, so for a while, no one was able to stand out.

Ye Ling frowned. Seeing that no one was willing to stand forward, he instead felt that something was amiss.

Ye Tianqiong's face turned ugly, the Family Competition was a huge matter, and none of the members were willing to come out?

”No, let me represent the Ye Family?”

”I think the other branches are already scared to death. How can they work for the Ye Family?”

Feng Yu was a bit anxious. Seeing so many people of the Ye Family looking at each other with cowardice, yet no one stood up for him, Feng Yu took the initiative to suggest that they share the Ye Family's worries.

Ye Ling frowned as he looked at Feng Yu, then shook his head. This was a competition of families, if an outsider was involved, the other three great families would definitely find out what happened and would be mocked by others.

”Humph!”

”Since no one stands up for us, let's kill all the other branches so that we don't have to eat in the Ye family!”

Ye Tianqiong was enraged, he immediately snorted coldly, his face filled with killing intent. He did not think highly of the branch family, but since the branch family members did not know how to appreciate favors, he would naturally not mind.

”What?”

”Patriarch, you can't do this to us!”

”That's right!” At the very least, we are loyal to the Ye Family, so we can't just let others slaughter us just because we are from the side branch, right? ”

”…”

Facing the crowd's restlessness, Ye Ling was unable to remain calm. After all, the direct line of descent had very few members, and the majority of them relied on the side branch to look after the family, maintaining the Ye Family's operations.

Grandfather Ye Tianqiong's words would naturally cause the people of the other branches to become restless. This was not a good result for the Ye Family.

”The Patriarch spoke in a moment of anger, he did not want to start a massacre.”

”If everyone doesn't believe me, I, Ye Ling, am willing to vouch with my life, and would definitely not suppress a branch family. As members of the Ye Family, I naturally have to live in harmony with them.”

Ye Ling stood out and smiled at the Ye Family members. In order to appease the other branch family members, he naturally had to be sincere and avoid any misunderstandings, causing unnecessary trouble.

”That's better than singing!”

”How many people from my branch family died in your hands?”

”Only today do you know the importance of my branch. If I were to work for you, what qualifications would you have to do so?!”

When everyone heard Ye Ling's solemn oath, they originally thought that he had calmed down a lot. However, right at this moment, an angry shout suddenly came from far away, the voice was extremely loud and clear, berating Ye Ling for his crimes.
