Leaving No Trace for a Thousand Miles, Reclaiming Life and Soul!

The sun shone brightly.

A man, old and a youth, stood atop a high mountain, facing the rising sun, filled with emotion.

"Yang'er, this journey is fraught with danger, and you may never return. I hope you take care of yourself."

As the patriarch of the Ye Clan, and also the man's father, he was filled with mixed feelings.

Because of an incident in the past, he had fallen from a high and mighty young patriarch to a good-for-nothing about to be impeached.

He had only one month. If he couldn't achieve success in the Sect Tournament, silencing everyone and making them obedient, then everything would be irrelevant to him.

Just a short while ago, he had personally visited the City Lord's mansion, hoping that the other party would consider their many years of friendship and cancel this absurd gamble.

Years of friendship, coupled with the fact that they were family friends, were severed so easily because of a small squabble, directly making him face reality.

"Father, just say what's on your mind. There's no one else here, so there's no need to be reserved or worried."

Ye Yang knew that he had already been targeted this time, and it could be said that he had a slim chance of survival. Whether he could come back alive was still a question.

A scholar can be killed, but not humiliated. As the saying goes, a man lives for honor, and a tree lives for its bark. He would rise from where he fell, and Qin Hao, the number one genius of White Cloud City of Central Province, would be his stepping stone.

"It's nothing. You're grown up now, and it's normal to have your own judgment and ideas. There's nothing for me to say. Take care of yourself. Oh, and take this."

Immediately afterward, he took out a brocade pouch and a box in front of him!

"Yang'er, open it and take a look!" Ye Wudi looked at the scene and breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had completed some kind of handover.

A man lives for honor, and a tree lives for its bark, and it's not just talk. You have to prove it with your own strength, and this sword is the best proof.

Back then, the ancestors of the Ye Clan relied on this sword to traverse the nine heavens and ten lands, establishing a prestigious reputation, founding a sect, and achieving the supreme glory of the Ye Clan Sword Sect.

It had been passed down from generation to generation, standing tall for tens of thousands of years, which was enough to prove its extraordinary nature.

"Father, why are you giving me such good things?"

"Are you satisfied? I think this Sword of Ultimate Path is very suitable for you!"

When Ye Yang opened it and took a look, he realized that it was a family heirloom sword, named Sword of Ultimate Path. The ultimate in martial arts, the sword path travels the world unhindered!

"Clang."

When Ye Yang took the Sword of Ultimate Path in his hand, it made a crisp sound. A Sword Qi soared into the sky, stirring up the wind and clouds, making it impossible to look directly at it.

"My son, mighty, truly extraordinary."

Ye Wudi showed a satisfied smile when he saw this scene. He knew that only by reaching the realm of the unity of man and sword could he unleash the true power of this sword.

Just holding the sword made it emit a sword cry, which was enough to prove that the other party was more suitable as the master of this sword than he was.

"How is it? Have you thought it through now? This is not a joke. One wrong step leads to another, and it will be troublesome if you want to regret it later."

Just at this moment, a gloomy voice suddenly rang out behind the father and son!

"Yang'er, be careful!" Along with the words, an invisible pressure enveloped them, making the surrounding air seem to solidify.

"Who is it, pretending to be a ghost here? If you don't come out, don't blame me for being impolite."

Ye Yang held the Sword of Ultimate Path, and as far as his eyes could see, he immediately observed everything around him. Where did this voice come from? Who was so bold?

"What? Now that you've taken advantage of us, you're turning your back on us?"

Turning around, he saw a middle-aged man in a black robe standing not far away, his face gloomy, his eyes flashing with cold light, coldly staring at him.

"It's him. What does he want to do? Does he want to cause trouble for us? Did he pick the perfect time?"

Ye Wudi frowned directly when he saw this scene. He naturally guessed the other party's identity, but he didn't expect this result to happen, which was still beyond his imagination.

"Yang'er, go quickly. I'll buy you time. Run as far as you can. If you don't leave, you may not have a chance to leave. Believe me, I'm not lying to you." Ye Wudi rarely showed a serious expression.

He knew that the other party was very arrogant, but he didn't expect him to be so arrogant and domineering, daring to kill in broad daylight.

"Do you think it's that easy to leave? Our request is very simple, just to see you off. Hand over the Sword of Ultimate Path and we'll spare your lives."

The black robe swayed gently in the wind, as if merging with the surrounding dark aura. His opening words revealed supreme majesty, and his words were irresistible, obviously a true king.

"Big brother, don't waste your time talking to him. As long as we capture these two, we can search them as we please."

"That's right, they're just two small fries in front of us, unable to make any waves. Why don't you let me take care of them?"

"Wait, don't worry. Today, the master just asked us to give them a warning. Don't cause trouble, and don't be afraid of trouble."

Beside the black-robed man, there were also several martial artists with unkind expressions, each of whose eyes revealed an unquestionable determination.

The Qi intertwined, forming an impeccable attack formation every moment.

If the Ye Yang father and son didn't cooperate and wanted to leave directly, it would be impossible without paying the corresponding price.

"Father, they want to deal with me and it has nothing to do with you. You go quickly, I'll take care of the aftermath."

"Yang'er, how can this be? After all, I'm your elder, how can I watch you suffer? Go quickly, or it will be too late."

The expressions of the two became very serious, and they also observed them for a while before realizing that the strength of these people was not weak.

The leading man was the strongest, having already reached the late peak stage of Martial Saint realm. No wonder he was so confident!

"Okay, with the father and son united, their strength can break metal. Let's fight!"

"No madness, no demon. Since these people are determined to seek death, then we can't help it."

Just as Ye Yang and his father were about to make their move, a resounding clang echoed from the depths of chaos.

"Not good, who triggered the restriction? If we attract those two old monsters, we won't be able to leave. Let's get out of here!"

"Exactly, those two old monsters have been alive for who knows how long, their strength is unfathomable. We're no match for them, let's retreat quickly."

"Get lost!"

Immediately following that, an angry voice boomed from the Forbidden Grounds of the Back Mountain. After a moment of hesitation, the group ultimately decided that discretion was the better part of valor and chose to leave first.

"Withdraw!"

Leaving no trace behind, they vanished in the blink of an eye.
