"It has begun. The fight between fellow disciples is the most important part of the Ye family's strength, survival from all crises, and reaching the peak of Zhongzhou martial arts. Unexpectedly, we are all caught up in it again today."
The Ye family disciples in the stands, as one of the judges of this duel, were also very alert, and someone gave an explanation for the new address.
“Boy, what can I say? Today is definitely a rare competition between masters. You have to learn well. After all, this is your first time joining the Ye family, so you should not miss any opportunity to learn.”
After a very careful and detailed explanation, someone finally asked, "Why didn't the Ye family's Holy Son play? Did he voluntarily give up? With his ability, he would have won without a competition. I don't know what he was thinking."
"Boy, what can I say to you? His father is the clan leader, so it is not impossible for the son to inherit his father's business. But how can I know what the elders have agreed on? We are just one of the participants. We should do what we should do. Just watch honestly, okay?"
The remaining chief disciples of the elders gave lectures to their new disciples in person, explaining to everyone the rules of healthy fighting in the Ye family.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Don't you believe what I say? You will know in a moment. I am not lying to you. The ten elders each have their own expertise, just like the two elders fighting on the field. They each have their own areas of expertise. You will know in a moment. Let's see first!"
In Feixian Pavilion, on the sword-discussing arena, everyone was very happy to see the scene before them, and they all turned their attention to the two contestants on the list sitting in the elders' seats.
"Tenth brother, this battle concerns the interests of our centrists. Can we go one step further? Becoming the stronger party depends on you. I am placing my greatest treasure on you. Please don't let me down."
It was hard to refuse such a kind invitation. The Tenth Elder was already full of fighting spirit at this moment. His whole expression seemed unusually relaxed. With a smile on his face, he looked at the Third Brother on the opposite side who was full of fighting spirit and couldn't wait to go on the field to fight.
"Haha, Sixth Brother, you guys just watch me. Do you really think that I have been doing nothing for so many years and was just wasting time? I am just trying to hide my true intentions. If I do make a splash, I will make a big splash. Today, I will let you see what a true master of formations is."
The tenth elder, Ye Chongshi, looked confident of victory, his entire body emitting a vigorous fighting spirit that soared into the sky, as if he was a god of war issuing a declaration of war to his powerful enemy.
Seeing this, the Sixth Elder and several other elders who were the core members of the centrist faction all looked over.
After hearing the explanation given to him by Shishi, the Sixth Elder, Ye Chongliu, felt relieved and naturally understood what the other party wanted to express.
"Haha, very good. Since you are so confident, I am also confident. After all, we are all stakeholders now. This is the reconstruction of the Ye family, so we must also play a role."
"Very good. Since you are so confident, we wish you a successful start. It depends on whether you have the ability to do it or you are just talking big and boasting."
"No, no, no, when have I ever lied to you? Didn't I just say it? If you don't make a sound, you'll be amazing. Now I'm waiting for the other party's reply. Have you forgotten the rules of the Ye family?"
Several people were talking happily, as if they could immediately grasp the fruits of victory of the Acting Sect Leader in their own hands, completely ignoring the other party and what kind of existence they had as a backer.
"That's right. It takes two to tango. If I challenge someone to a fight, I have to see if they will accept the challenge, right? In this case, I still have to see what Third Brother thinks."
The tenth elder could only express his own opinion first and see if the other party would accept it. After the other people echoed him, they all looked in the direction of the third elder Ye Chongsan.
"Tenth brother, come on, Sixth brother is rooting for you."
With a powerful enemy at hand, everyone naturally prioritized the interests of the Ye family. However, after Ye Tian and his son were killed, they changed from a three-party game to a two-party game, which involved a redistribution of interests. It was impossible not to argue!
On the high platform, several of the ten long seats are empty, but the remaining ones are the backbone of the entire Ye family. Each of them represents the interests of their own mountain, but in the face of the ultimate fundamental interests, everyone must unite and go through the necessary formalities.

When the executor, the Seventh Elder, saw the list, he also knew what the other party wanted to express and withdrew from the fight immediately.
"Very good. Since Sixth Brother and his men have also withdrawn from the battle and are not participating, and there are only two of them left, I want to see why they think that Tenth Brother will have the last laugh."
After all, who did he support? Everyone knew it, so the top six became the top two, and a good show of fighting was about to begin.
After the Seventh Elder, Ye Chongqi announced loudly, he quietly came to the Third Elder and said, "Third Brother, I know you didn't have this intention, but the knife is already on your neck and you have to go. I'll show you this list and you'll know."
He took out a token from his pocket, which showed six places. The other four voluntarily withdrew in exchange for benefits, and he was naturally one of them, so this became an ultimate showdown.
"How is it? Are you confident? I am very optimistic about you. Tenth brother looks cynical, but I don't think he is hiding very deeply. He is the legendary big boss. I wonder if Third brother is confident?"
The ancestral precepts of the Ye family cannot be violated; the capable are promoted and the mediocre are demoted. This is an eternal truth, and naturally they cannot violate it either. Therefore, invisible pressure was placed on the third elder, and he did not know what choice to make for a moment.
The Third Elder naturally knew this rule. After thinking for a while, he looked at the other party and slowly said, "Seventh Brother, I know you have good intentions, but do you think I have any choice now?"
"Whether you have a choice or not, the key lies in your choice. Do you follow your heart? Do you take on this responsibility for the good of the Ye family and for the demons' next massive invasion ten years later or even earlier?"
Seventh Elder, Ye Chongqi naturally understood that such a big change in the Ye family did not come out of thin air. If a person does not think about the long term, he will surely have immediate worries. Everything that has happened in the Ye family during this period of time is the best proof of this.
He turned his head and looked at Ye Xuan who was silent, hoping that he could express his opinion.
"Boy, you haven't said a word from the beginning till now. Are you a wooden man? Speak up and give your uncle some advice. Should he participate in this duel?"
The Seventh Elder and Ye Chongqi unanimously decided that the position of the acting head of the Ye family was best suited to the man in front of them, but the other party had already sternly refused, so there was no other way but to choose one from among their few remaining elders, which led to the opening scene.
"Why aren't you talking? From the moment you came in until now, you haven't said a word. Don't you have anything to say? The Tenth Elder and the others are constantly teasing us, just waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves?"
The seventh elder, Ye Chongqi, became more and more excited as he spoke, spitting everywhere. Looking at Ye Xuan who was silent in front of him, he wanted to step forward and kick him, but his inner reason stopped him.
"Seventh brother, don't make things difficult for him. He is the eldest brother's son, and he has even awakened the body of an innate saint. His future achievements are limitless, and he will naturally not be constrained by a small leader of the Ye family. His stage will surely be a broader world."
The Third Elder naturally understood the good intentions of the Seventh Brother, but the fallen flowers are indifferent while the flowing water is affectionate. What is the point of this?
On the other hand, the centrists such as the Sixth Elder took advantage of the opportunity to provoke again.
"Third brother, can you do it? If you can't, then you can take the initiative to give way. In fact, you will automatically win. Wouldn't that solve the problem directly? It will be good for you, me, and everyone else?"
The words spoken by the Sixth Elder and others seemed light, but every word pierced the other party's heart. Fortunately, the Third Elder was extremely strong in his heart, and he was not disturbed at all, allowing them to provoke him.
"Third brother, don't be silent anymore. When two meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. I have been observing my tenth brother for a long time. If it weren't for the exchange of interests, I would not swallow my anger. If you want to fight, then fight. Why not?"
The Seventh Elder, Ye Chongqi, really couldn't figure out what the Third Brother in front of him was worried about, or whether he had his own bottom line and judgment.
"Third Elder, you must participate. If you can fight, you must win."
Ye Xuan didn't say a word just now, but in fact he had already observed from the side for a while, then he made his own judgment, and whispered a few words in the ear of the third elder, then nodded.
"Good boy, why didn't you tell me earlier? You made me worry for nothing. Since you said so, I'll do it reluctantly. No matter what, we must not let the other party take over the position of the acting patriarch of the Ye family, otherwise the development of the Ye family will deviate from its original intention."
After hearing what Ye Xuan said, the third elder's attitude immediately changed 180 degrees and he became full of energy again.
"Tenth brother, don't provoke me with words. The capable ones are promoted and the mediocre ones are demoted. This is the ancestral precept of the Ye family. How can I not participate? If you want to fight, then fight. Don't talk so much nonsense!"
He took a step forward, leaped forward, and landed in the middle of the square. He stood with a sword in his hand, pointing at the ten elders from a distance.
"Hahaha, Third Brother, this should have happened a long time ago. I am very much looking forward to fighting with you. In this case, I won't be polite."
He leaped forward and landed steadily in the center of the square of the sword-fighting arena, with the two men facing each other from a distance.
"Boy, what did you say to the third brother? He was hesitant at first, but after hearing a few words from you, he immediately agreed. It seems that you still have some skills. I am looking forward to it more and more."
The Seventh Elder is also a cultivation fanatic. He wanted to participate in such a good opportunity, but he had to choose the lesser of two options and could only make this choice.
Ye Xuan replied: "Uncle Qi, hasn't the other party already made a choice? Why are you asking me this?"
"Boy, you are amazing."
Hahaha, the two looked at each other and smiled. They said nothing more, but both had confident smiles on their faces.
