"Boy, I'll leave it to you from now on. You must treat him well."

The white-haired old man revealed a satisfied smile at the moment his figure disappeared, as if he had completed a special mission, and finally disappeared between heaven and earth.

“Ancestor…”

Seven days later, a figure appeared in a very embarrassed state at the place where he had entered, but his tired face was radiant, at least he passed the test.

“Boom boom boom…”

In the forbidden area of the Ye family, the nine-story demon tower that had existed for endless years seemed to have been summoned by something. It shook violently, and the tower that was towering into the clouds quickly shrank and soared into the sky, turning into a scroll and fell into Ye Xuan's hands.

"Could this be the Mountain and River Demon Subduing Map? I see. I need to find some time to absorb and digest it before I can use it better?"

Ye Xuan felt it carefully. Could this be the feeling of being connected by blood? It was indeed very wonderful.

“Whoosh.”

In the blink of an eye, the Map of Mountains and Rivers Subduing Demons sank directly into his body and came into his sea of consciousness, floating quietly, lying quietly together with his reborn natal immortal sword.

"My natal sword, plus the Mountain and River Demon Subduing Map and the Seven Wonders Pagoda, it seems that I have one more trump card to save my life. I just don't know what my father went through back then, and where did he go after being swallowed by that unknown black hole of time and space?"

When Ye Xuan was fighting with the Heavenly Demon Lord and Ye Tian who had been possessed by the devil, he always felt that the opponent's methods were somewhat familiar to the scenes he had just seen in the Nine-story Demon Tower. Could there be a connection between them?

"No matter what, no matter what? Within ten years, the demons will definitely not launch another sneak attack. I should take this opportunity to digest and absorb everything, consolidate my cultivation, and lay a solid foundation for further progress."

The location of the Ye family's forbidden nine-story demon tower has turned into a pile of ruins, leaving only a bottomless pit, and no one knows where it leads to.

"It's time to go. No matter how the situation changes, one's own strength is the greatest asset. As long as one is strong enough, one can do whatever he wants in the nine heavens and ten earths."

At this moment, a man looked thoughtfully at everything in front of him, and then a stream of light flew towards him.

"Who, what do you want? What's your purpose for visiting so late at night?"

Ye Xuan had quietly prepared himself to attack, and when the other party came quickly towards him, he could see clearly that it was one of his own.

"Tenth Elder, I wonder if you came to see me at this time. What's the matter? It's not just a simple meeting, right?"

Ye Xuan looked at the man who appeared. He was naturally one of his relatives, his father's tenth brother, Ye Chongshi. However, he did not have much interest or good feelings towards him.

After all, what happened to him back then might have been vaguely related to other people, so before things are clarified, it is better not to reveal too much of yourself.

"Don't be nervous, kid. I just felt something was wrong here, so I came to check it out. I don't have any other intentions. Since there is no problem, I won't bother you anymore. Bye!"

When the Tenth Elder Ye Zhongshi was about to leave, he deliberately looked in the direction where the Nine-Story Demon Tower once stood, and thought to himself, "What's wrong with this kid? He's really a bit weird. From the moment he came to the Ye family, from the moment the third brother protected him, such a major change happened in the Ye family. It seems that this kid is an unknown number."

Although he pretended to be calm on the surface, his heart was actually already in turmoil. He just could only pretend to be calm in front of the other person.

Turning back, he said, "Boy, you should understand the principle that a tree attracts the wind even though it wants to be still, and a big tree attracts the wind. I won't remind you. See you another day."

The tenth elder, Ye Chongshi, looked thoughtful as he stared at the young man in front of him, wanting to dig out the secret from him. As a result, he used a special secret recipe, and the other party seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog, making it impossible to see through.

"Interesting, very interesting. I didn't expect Ye Zhongshi to be proficient in the art of the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams, and also have an unfathomable fate and unfathomable luck. This kid is really an outlier."

After making up his mind, in order not to arouse the other party's suspicion, he simply exchanged a few words of greeting, then took off into the air, flew on his sword and disappeared on the spot.

"Uncle San, come out. Everyone has left. I just did what you said. Sure enough, there are still people in the Ye family with ulterior motives. What should we do now?"

Ye Xuan followed the other party's arrangement and appeared near the Nine-story Demon Tower in the Ye family's forbidden area. Naturally, he had his purpose, and the third elder actually guessed it right!

A figure slowly emerged from behind a big tree, taking two steps at a time until he was only a few steps away from Ye Xuan, then stopped and said, "Boy, as expected, you guessed it right, but what are you going to do next? As you said, this battle bought our Ye family ten years, so before you go into seclusion, I hope you can do one thing?"

The other party seemed to see his worry, and then explained: "Don't worry, we are only temporarily looking for a person in the Ye family. Otherwise, there will be chaos sooner or later without a leader. Otherwise, the Ye family will not be without a leader until the eldest brother comes back. So I am also considering the Ye family. What do you think, nephew?"

The third elder, Ye Chongsan, knew very well in his heart that the man in front of him did not want the title of the Ye family's holy son, nor did he care about this empty name. However, after comprehensive consideration, he still reluctantly agreed. Now he had made such a request again. He looked at the man in front of him with a troubled face, wondering how he would answer.

"That's right. I also know that ten years ago everyone thought you were dead. No one suspected that it was Ye Tian and his son who did it. But now that things have been put right, I think the knot will be untied sooner or later. I won't force it. I just hope that you can be there tomorrow to shock Xiao Xiao, so that the Ye family can get back on track, work hard, and strive to make a new start in ten years. Would you consider it carefully?"

The third elder, Ye Chongsan, knew that his request was a bit excessive to the man in front of him, but sometimes one could only make the inevitable choice, so even if it meant losing face, he could only fight for a glimmer of hope.

"Uncle San, it's time to put some things to rest. I understand even if you don't say it. Let's talk about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow. Maybe there will be an unexpected surprise?"

After hearing what the other party said and considering what he had done during this period, Ye Xuan had already made his own judgment in his heart. Instead of leaving the position of the head of the Ye family undecided, it might be better to find someone with outstanding abilities among the elders present to replace him. At least he has to be loyal to the Ye family and not have any ill intentions.

"Boy, see you tomorrow." The third elder had already made his own judgment in his mind. After saying this, he left the scene, leaving Ye Xuan alone.

"No need to see me off." Ye Xuan said as he watched the familiar figure leave the scene.

"Is this your request, or is it everyone's request? If so, tomorrow I will see who has the guts to mess up the Ye family."

Ye Xuan is also a smart man. The Ye family is in the stage of reconstruction after the storm, and it urgently needs a stabilizer. Perhaps he is the most suitable person.

The next day, everyone gathered at Feixian Pavilion to discuss the sword arena.

"Brother, what on earth is the matter that has called us here? Is there something important you want to announce?"

The crowd was surging. Although the Ye family had experienced some twists and turns, after everyone had learned from their mistakes, their spirits seemed to be very good.

The other party hesitated a little and said, "Brother, how should I know? I received a notice from the elders last night and gathered here today. I am just as unclear as you. Now that you are here, why not take a look first? Maybe you will know."

"That's right. We've already come here, so how can we return empty-handed? Since the elders have informed us, we can only do as they say."

Everyone was discussing below, and the elders on the stage naturally heard it very clearly. However, the third elder with the highest prestige did not speak. No one dared to say anything, and could only wait quietly until a certain moment.

The Seventh Elder said, "Brother Three, we have been waiting for so long. The sun has already risen in the east. That guy may not come. How about we start? I believe in you. With our abilities, the other party will not do anything outrageous."

"Well, since you've said that, what else do I have to say? Let's get started."

The Third Elder kept delaying, and he knew very well that if it went on like this, everyone would definitely become suspicious, so he could only announce the start, but then a figure came riding a sword.

"Boy, you really came!"

Seeing the other party coming, the light flashed in his eyes again.

Announce loudly, "Begin..."
