They saw Ye Wuchen dressed in white and Ye Hao dressed in garments of alternating white and red.
Song Bairen, the Song Family Patriarch, immediately smiled and cupped his hands when he saw Ye Wuchen and Ye Hao. "Brother Wuchen."
Ye Wuchen looked indifferently at Song Bairen. "You're not qualified to call me Brother Wuchen."
Sixteen years ago, his wife had given Song Bairen three low-grade Earth Rank Cultivation Methods as the betrothal gifts. Who would have thought that sixteen years later, Song Bairen would try to flatten the Ye Family and seize the high-grade Cultivation Methods in his hands?
In his heart, Song Bairen was utterly unqualified to call himself his brother.
If Song Qingxue had not already been given to Ye Hao, if the Song Family had not paid a huge price and handed over a great many cultivation resources, and if the Song Family had not caused any real harm to the Ye Family, he would have wiped out the Song Family long ago.
Song Bairen gave an awkward smile.
The Song Family members were terrified.
Ye Hao looked at Song Qingxue. "Where are Shige and Shiyu?"
Song Qingxue immediately said, "Follow me."
They arrived at a bedchamber in the Song Family. Lin Shige and Lin Shiyu were lying on the bed, their faces pale and utterly bloodless.
Ye Hao's gaze sharpened at the sight. Although the Lin Shige sisters were merely his maids, they had performed their duties conscientiously and were extremely loyal to him.
Moreover, after spending some time together, he had developed some feelings for the Lin Shige sisters.
Ye Wuchen examined their injuries from a distance. His brows suddenly furrowed. "Their internal organs have suffered severe damage. Even if they're fed healing pills, their internal organs will have difficulty absorbing them. We can only stabilize their injuries first and slowly nurse them back to health. Whether they can pull through will depend on themselves."
"Where are those people?" Ye Hao asked calmly.
"In a city under the Song Family's jurisdiction. There are Qi-Controlling and Spirit Sea experts among them." Song Qingxue answered.
"Lead the way." Ye Hao said.
Before long, they arrived at a city. The atmosphere in the city was foul and chaotic, and terrified people could be seen everywhere.
There were several thousand youths from the Eastern Extreme Region in the city.
Every one of them was wildly arrogant. They walked as if they recognized no one, with haughty, unruly smiles on their faces and madness and viciousness in their eyes.
They loved seeing the people of the Eastern Desolate Region looking afraid of them. It gave them a powerful sense of accomplishment.
"Waiter, bring out the best dishes you have! If they don't suit our tastes, we'll smash this restaurant!"
One of the youths shouted imperiously.
Cold sweat poured from the waiter's forehead as he hurriedly smiled obsequiously. "Gentlemen, please wait a moment. The dishes will be here shortly."
"Wait your mother's moment! I want you to bring the dishes out right now. If you dare annoy us, we'll peel your skin and pull out your tendons!" one of the youths cursed angrily.
"Yes, yes, yes, the dishes are coming right away." The waiter was drenched in sweat and did not dare say a word in protest.
Outside the restaurant, Ye Hao's expression remained calm. He spoke blandly to Song Qingxue beside him. "They're the ones who injured Shige and Shiyu?"
Song Qingxue's face filled with rage, and disgust flashed through her eyes as she stared at the group of youths inside the restaurant. "It was them!"
Song Qingxue detested these people intensely.
She loathed them from the bottom of her heart.
Although Ye Hao and the Lin Shige sisters had tormented and humiliated her in every possible way, she had never hated Ye Hao.
She knew that when she had tested the Ye Family's strength and refused to compensate them with a million Mid-grade Spirit Stones, she had been in the wrong to begin with.
It was only natural for Ye Hao to torment her in every possible way. After all, she had gone too far.
Objectively speaking, Ye Hao was actually a rather good person. Although he possessed formidable strength and had an equally formidable father, Ye Hao had never bullied innocent people, much less forcibly taken women.
Most of the time, he was still polite and refined. At least, Ye Hao was kind at heart and was not a bad seed.
But the people from the Eastern Extreme Region in the restaurant were bad seeds through and through! They took pleasure in bullying others!
Ye Hao walked in unhurriedly.
Song Qingxue followed closely behind him.
Because Song Qingxue naturally carried a delicate fragrance, the group of youths from the Eastern Extreme Region turned their heads toward her as soon as she entered the restaurant, following the scent.
When they saw Song Qingxue, lecherous looks appeared on their faces, their expressions becoming obscene. "Yo, it's you, isn't it, Song Qingxue? Come over and have a couple of drinks with us brothers?"
The five youths from the Eastern Extreme Region wore nearly identical expressions. Back in the Eastern Extreme Region, they could not be called refined, but they had at least been fairly courteous.
But that had been because they had been forced to restrain themselves and suppress their true natures.
Now that they had arrived in the Eastern Desolate Region, no one could control them. They also believed that the people of the Eastern Desolate Region would not dare do anything to them, so the nature they had suppressed for years immediately erupted.
The sensation of releasing their true nature and acting without the slightest restraint made them feel incredibly good!
Song Qingxue glared at them and rebuked them. "What do you think you are? You think you're worthy of drinking with me? You're nothing but a bunch of pieces of trash from the Eastern Extreme Region. You swallowed your anger there, twisted yourselves inside, and suppressed your true natures. Now that you think you've come to the barren Eastern Desolate Region in your eyes, you believe you can do whatever you want, is that it?"
The five youths' expressions immediately darkened. They stared fixedly at Song Qingxue. She had struck their sore spot!
Song Qingxue coldly stared back at them. "Don't think that just because you put on an appearance of fearing neither Heaven nor earth, you can do anything. If you really dare touch even a hair on me, go ahead and try!"
Song Qingxue had already seen through their true natures. They were cowards who bullied the weak and feared the strong!
They might run their mouths, but would they really dare touch her?
Only if they wanted to die here!
In her eyes, these people were nothing more than paper tigers!
The five youths' expressions were gloomy. After learning that Song Qingxue's Song Family had a King Wu ancestor, they had become somewhat wary and did not dare go too far. At most, they could only run their mouths.
If they actually took physical action, the King Wu ancestor would probably disregard the sects behind them and kill them by force!
"Young Master, how do you want to deal with them?" Song Qingxue asked, looking at Ye Hao.
The five youths all turned to look at Ye Hao. They had noticed Ye Hao earlier, but had not taken him seriously. He appeared to be only eighteen years old.
Now that they heard Song Qingxue address Ye Hao as Young Master, they slightly furrowed their brows.
But they soon relaxed them again.
In the Eastern Desolate Region, as long as they did not go too far against people from the top powers, those top powers would certainly not do anything to them.
"Heh heh, kid, you want to deal with us? Who do you think you are?"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
In the next instant, a mighty surge of spiritual power condensed into five enormous slaps and instantly smacked across the faces of the five youths.
"Ah..."
Their teeth were smashed apart with a thunderous crack, and a trace of blood seeped from the corners of their mouths.
"You—you actually dare...!"
One of the youths glared furiously at Ye Hao and was about to strike back.
Bang!
A mighty surge of spiritual power, like a mountain crashing down from above, slammed heavily onto the bodies of the five youths.
The five youths suddenly felt an unimaginable gravity descend upon them. Their knees buckled, and they sprawled directly onto the ground.
Blood sprayed straight from the corners of their mouths!
