Ye Family, Council Hall.
Ye Family Head Ye Zhentian sat in the seat of honor, his presence imposing even without anger.
The Ye Family elders had all taken their seats.
The three Foundation Establishment cultivators who had secretly protected Ye Baiyi had returned. After receiving simple treatment, they were now seated in the rearmost positions as well.
Ye Baiyi himself was not here. Since returning, he had not shown his face again.
"Elders, you should all know what happened by now, correct?" Ye Zhentian looked over everyone in the Council Hall.
He continued, "Three Elders, you exchanged blows with that woman. Did you see through her origins?"
The three Foundation Establishment cultivators rose, but all remained silent.

As for the techniques Zhao Ling'er had used, they had never seen them before. They only knew that this set of sword techniques was exceedingly formidable.
After a moment of silence, the Foundation Establishment cultivator who had been defeated first by Zhao Ling'er stepped forward, his expression slightly hesitant.

He hoped Ye Zhentian could assess the situation and act according to the circumstances. He should not seek out that woman
