Reopening the Martial Veins!

Central Province, the Ye Household.

"Carry him in, and he still dared to oppose Young Master Qin? He really didn't know whether he lived or died."

A stretcher was carried in by a group of men, placed carelessly in the middle of the hall, and then they swaggered away!

On the stretcher lay a young man, covered in blood and battered all over, already on the verge of death.

"I announce that Ye Yang, as the Young Sect Master, has caused trouble everywhere, disgraced the Ye Household through his lack of virtue and ability, and brought shame upon us all. If, one month from now, he cannot convince everyone and take first place in the Sect Tournament, all his privileges will be revoked, and he will be stripped of the title of Young Sect Master."

Elder Ye Wushuang of the Enforcement Hall had finally seized this opportunity. Of course he would not let it slip away.

Ye Yang was the son of Sect Master Ye Wudi. He had opened his martial veins at three, broken through a realm at six, and broken through five major realms in succession at nine. He had been the first to enter the Martial Venerable Realm, stunning everyone and becoming the foremost among the younger generation. He had even become the child every parent held up as an example!

But a year ago, he had failed a breakthrough. His meridians had become blocked, leaving him unable to cultivate. He had become a cripple, drowning his sorrows in wine and causing trouble everywhere, long since exhausting all the goodwill he once possessed.

"Big Brother, what else do you have to say?" The Grand Elder of Law Enforcement seized the chance to make things difficult for him. The Elder Council had already reached a decision, and the result could not be changed. Unless Ye Yang took first place in the Sect Tournament one month later, everything was already set in stone!

"Yang!"

Sect Master Ye Wudi saw this scene and felt as if his heart and gallbladder had been torn apart. He watched everything unfold, his indignation boiling over.

"What? Is even self-defense forbidden? We're only allowed to take a beating and not fight back?"

Everyone knew that Qin Hao was the Young Sect Master of the Azure Cloud Sword Sect, the foremost sect in Central Province, and the number one person on the Central Province Prodigy List. His strength was formidable, and his backing was profound.

No one knew why, but Ye Yang had actually provoked him. The two had clashed, and Ye Yang had been beaten into this state before being carried in, becoming the laughingstock of the entire Ye Household.

"Big Brother, don't tell me this has anything to do with me. Everyone knows what your son did. You should think about how a miracle is going to happen one month from now, shouldn't you?"

Elder Ye Wushuang of the Enforcement Hall revealed a satisfied smile. This had all been his scheme. His goal was simple: use this opportunity to drive their entire family away, then seize control of the whole Ye Household and the entire sect!

"You plotted this together long ago, all for this moment, didn't you?"

Ye Wudi laughed in his fury. He sighed inwardly, naturally understanding that this was nothing but a conspiracy. His opponent had merely just begun to show his fangs.

"Fine, fine, fine. Isn't there still a month? The outcome hasn't been decided yet, so what's there to panic about?"

"Is that so, my Sect Master and dear big brother? We'll see."

Seeing this scene, Ye Wushuang, as the Grand Elder of Law Enforcement, held a position second to one and above countless others. Naturally, he wanted to go one step further and stop living in the other man's shadow.

The Ye Household had produced two prodigies. Back then, during the struggle for the position of Sect Master, he had lost and could only become the Grand Elder of Law Enforcement, while his senior apprentice-brother Ye Wudi had won and obtained the position of Sect Master.

Once the seeds of jealousy and hatred took root and sprouted, they would only slowly grow into towering trees. Unable to extricate himself, he had harbored resentment and constantly sought a chance to turn the tables and reclaim everything that belonged to him.

"I propose that the Grand Elder's son, Ye Fan, become the new Young Sect Master!"

"That's right. I agree. Ye Fan has already broken through to the eighth layer of the Martial Master Realm. He's only one step away from reaching the peak of the ninth layer of the Martial Master Realm. You could say that one of his hands has already touched the threshold of the Martial Grandmaster Realm."

"What? Nephew, you're actually this impressive? At such a young age, you've already touched the threshold of the Martial Grandmaster Realm. It seems your future is boundless. The Ye Household will surely gain another Martial Saint in the future. The sect's revival is within reach!"

The other elders immediately echoed their agreement. At that moment, Ye Wudi's expression was terribly ugly.

"What are you trying to do? Have you rebelled?"

What exactly did these people mean? Did they still regard him, their Sect Master, at all?

"Sect Master, you can't blame us for this. He brought it upon himself."

Strength was built upon the opponent's recognition. Without that strength, one could only take beatings and suffer bullying. The young man on the stretcher was the best proof.

"Yang, wake up! Wake up!"

A woman hurried forward to check on him. Instead, she discovered that his body was gradually turning cold, and a wave of sorrow surged into her heart.

"Where am I? What happened?" In his previous life, Ye Yang had been a peak ninth-layer powerhouse of the Martial Immortal Realm, with one foot already stepping into the Martial Ancestor Realm.

While breaking through and enduring the Heavenly Tribulation, he had been ambushed by three powerful experts working together. He had nearly been annihilated in body and soul, but in the final moment, his lifebound treasure, the Primordial Chaos Pagoda, had preserved a sliver of his true spirit and allowed him to be reborn!

At that moment, he had been reborn directly into the body of another Ye Yang from the Ye Household of Central Province on the Tianyuan Continent!

I am the supreme ruler of the martial path. I shall suppress everything beneath heaven and stand undefeated beneath the sun! He only remembered being ambushed at the critical moment while breaking through to the Martial Ancestor Realm and enduring the Heavenly Tribulation. He had nearly died, but at the crucial instant, a wisp of his soul had been saved by his lifebound treasure!

"Wait, I'm not dead yet!" As the battle between heaven and man raged within him, he broke through the restraints of the mysterious space and suddenly opened his eyes. His fingers moved next, and little by little, he regained control over his body!

"Oh no, he's risen from the dead." The man standing closest nearly leaped into the air, only narrowly avoiding ascending on the spot.

"In my previous life, I was ambushed. This time, I'll make them pay." At that moment, Ye Yang's head was splitting with pain. After finally digesting the other man's memories, he understood what had happened.

The original body had possessed extraordinary talent—a rare Supreme Body, with an innate affinity for the Great Dao. He learned everything quickly, but he was destined to find breakthroughs extremely difficult.

Once a breakthrough failed, his meridians would become sealed, turning him into a complete cripple. This was the special aspect of this constitution.

"Since that's the case, I'll definitely make these people pay." Ye Yang felt no regret or hesitation. Instead, he repeatedly reopened his martial veins, completely casting off the name of cripple and ruling over the world!

"All things under heaven can be devoured and refined. Since that's the case, I only need to reopen my martial veins!"

In his previous life, he had cultivated the Primordial Chaos Creation Art and obtained the Primordial Chaos Pagoda, an innate supreme treasure. Having lived another life, he would surely return to the peak once more.

The Primordial Chaos Creation Art began circulating continuously. The Primordial Chaos Pagoda became his dantian and ceaselessly devoured the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

"Open, eight veins!" His sealed meridians were struck violently once more. An ocean of spiritual energy reversed through them, improving his constitution and awakening his talent.

With a bang, the Great Dao within his body, as if it had been silent for countless years, suddenly awakened.

"One, two..." Until all eight veins had opened, his martial veins, sealed for so long, were reactivated!

"When the eight veins emerge, the martial veins open!" At that moment, Ye Yang once again felt his body. It was filled with power, and he instantly broke through to the third layer of the Martial Apprentice Realm.

"Yang, what's wrong?"

The woman grew extremely nervous upon seeing this. He had just been beaten half to death, his life and death unknown. Now his body had suddenly turned cold, without the slightest warmth, making her panic at once.

"Don't be nervous. With me here, they won't dare do anything."

Ye Yang suddenly sat up and stared blankly at everyone. Elder Ye Wushuang of the Enforcement Hall and the others were left utterly dumbfounded, unable to understand what had happened.

"Seeking death!"

The next moment, one of them transformed into an afterimage and struck toward Ye Yang. He was none other than Ye Tian, the younger brother of the newly risen prodigy Ye Fan!

"Yang, watch out!"

The woman's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly warned him, but it was already too late!

"You're nothing but an ant, truly a frog at the bottom of a well, ignorant of how high the heavens are or how vast the earth. You're the one seeking death." A powerful hand collided with his!

With a thunderous boom, Ye Tian spat blood and was sent flying backward, then fainted.

Immediately afterward, a young figure appeared before everyone.

"What happened?" Ye Wushuang and the others had not yet recovered from their shock when everything was already over!

"Who else? You're welcome to give it a try." With a graceful turn, Ye Yang had already arrived before everyone. That palm had been no more difficult for him than crushing an ant.

"Wait a moment. What exactly happened just now? Big Brother, did you do this?"

"That's right. There's a secret art in the legends that can reverse life and death, alter a person's constitution, and reconstruct their meridians and dantian. However, this secret art has one flaw: one's strength will be greatly reduced!"

Everyone began discussing among themselves. In their eyes, Ye Wudi was the Sect Master and possessed both the authority and the opportunity to obtain such a legendary secret art. How else could they explain what had happened except this way?

"That's right, Young Sect Master. It could only have been my big brother's doing. Ye Fan, what are you?"

Everything had happened too quickly, and no one had seen it clearly. They thought they had witnessed an illusion.

"What? You're already so certain that my son won't stand head and shoulders above everyone one month from now?"

Ye Wudi, as the Sect Master of a sect, stepped forward without shirking his responsibility. At this critical moment, he naturally had to protect his family.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, something terrible has happened! Liu Wushuang has barged in with a group of people, and they look extremely aggressive."

Suddenly, a disciple rushed in. His expression was tense, and he only managed to get half the words out before stopping, his face full of hesitation.

"Speak. What exactly happened? Make yourself clear. Don't worry. These are all members of our own sect. What is there to fear?" Ye Wudi had already made the necessary mental preparations, but when the disciple delivered the news, he was still utterly shocked.

"What? Could she really disregard the friendship between her father and me so completely? She dares to break off the engagement at a time like this?" Ye Wudi had already guessed part of it, but he had not expected this outcome.

"Sect Master, I've arranged them in the reception hall. Should I send her away directly?" Seeing that the situation was wrong, the disciple delivering the report was quite clever. He intended to use this as an excuse to send them away and avoid unnecessary trouble.

"No need. How could such a trivial matter trouble Uncle Ye? I'll handle it myself."

The person had not yet arrived, but her voice had already come first. Everyone guessed what was happening the moment they heard it.

"Big Brother, I didn't expect it to be her!"

One of the only two women on the Prodigy Ranking—Liu Wushuang, the City Lord's daughter!

"Looks like there's going to be a good show. I just wonder who will come out on top?"

Seeing this scene, everyone wore gleeful expressions. They knew only one side of the story and not the other. They had just been thinking about how to resolve this trouble when someone delivered timely aid!

"Yang, your father has dragged you into this. Don't worry. I'll definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."

Ye Wudi bravely stepped forward at once. He knew that no matter what happened, one could not flee from it. Only by facing it bravely was there a sliver of hope for survival!

"Father, don't worry. A forcibly twisted melon isn't sweet. Since that's the case, let me divorce her face-to-face." Ye Yang knew very well that the original body's failed breakthrough and ruined cultivation one year ago had been inseparably connected to this woman.

"Ye Yang, get out here for this young lady!" A booming voice rang out, followed by a group of people rushing over with a woman at their center!
