"Scram."

Thunder rumbled, the wind and clouds shifted, and the moment that voice echoed from the Ye Family Forbidden Ground, they felt an immense threat.

"Not good, danger! Retreat now, or we're finished! Don't provoke those old monsters, or we'll be in deep trouble."

"Big Brother, what's going on? Are we really giving up just before the finish line?"

"Everyone, don't linger here, or the consequences will be severe. Trust me, I know what I'm doing."

A furious roar, its divine might unstoppable, struck the group of mysterious men in black like a bolt of lightning. Their minds reeling, they frantically searched for a solution!

"Withdraw!"

Seeing what was before him, the leader's eyes filled with fear. Without a backward glance, he ordered a retreat, and the group vanished as quickly as they had come.

Whoosh!

One after another, they transformed into streaks of light and disappeared. When they reappeared, they were already a thousand miles away from the Ye Family Sect.

"That was close. The Ye Family has been around for tens of thousands of years. It truly deserves its reputation as a powerful entity that once produced a Martial God. I didn't expect those two old monsters to still be alive. Weren't they said to have failed their Heavenly Tribulation? What's going on?"

A lean camel is still bigger than a horse. To be respected, to be remembered, it naturally possesses an irresistible, mysterious power!

They had thought they had been meticulous, that they could perfectly manipulate their target, but now they had been rebuffed. What would become of their reputation?

His chest heaving, this was one of their strongholds. They had fled frantically, afraid of being caught by those two monsters if they were too slow. That would have been a disaster.

After a long while, he finally calmed down, but even so, he didn't dare to relax his guard.

A quarter of an hour later...

"Big Brother, we can't report back empty-handed. Although our mission was just to monitor them, we need to have something to show for it, or we won't be able to explain ourselves to the higher-ups."

He took a slight breath, and after some effort, he finally calmed down a bit, at least not as panicked as before.

"Enough! Are you telling me how to do my job?"

The leader was furious at this remark. He flashed in front of the speaker and grabbed him by the neck.

"Big Brother, don't misunderstand! I was just saying..."

Everything happened so fast that the man didn't have time to react before he was lifted off the ground, suspended in the air!

He couldn't breathe, his face turned red, and he was on the verge of passing out.

"Big Brother, don't be impulsive! It's not worth getting angry over such a small thing. I have a plan to solve our current predicament!"

This failed mission had already made him furious, and the other man's constant pressure, perhaps unintentional, was seen as a challenge to his authority!

His anger flared, nearly ruining everything and damaging the harmony between brothers.

"Speak! You better not be lying to me, or you'll face the consequences!"

He was like a beast completely enraged, his eyes wide, burning with anger, just needing an outlet to explode.

"Big Brother, don't be angry. I know the pressure you're under. We need to be careful and listen to me!"

"Hmph, you wouldn't dare lie to me. Speak, what should we do?"

Everyone knows that Ye Yang is a good-for-nothing in the Ye Family Sect. Few know that he is a person of great fortune, a Heaven-Chosen of legend.

As long as he doesn't die young, as long as he doesn't fall from grace, and he is allowed to grow, he will surely rival the Heavenly Dao, and perhaps even replace it.

Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, but a small Ye Family, how could it possibly produce such a phenomenon? It has already threatened the existence of other Sects and has attracted the attention of several holy lands.

"Big Brother, this is what I mean. We can secretly send people to observe and work from the inside out. Isn't he going to White Cloud City of Central Province to challenge Qin Hao, Paragon of Central Province, who tops the Prodigy Ranking? He will have to pass through that area, which will be our best opportunity."

The man sympathized. The mistakes of the past must be heeded. If they can't have him, they'll destroy him!

If they can't control him, and they can't let others have him, then they'll destroy him with their own hands. So Ye Yang is destined to become a pawn in the open and secret struggles of many.

"Alright, let's do it that way. We have no other choice!"

The group had suffered a setback, and now they could only choose to act when the opportunity arose. If they ambushed him in a place he was sure to pass, there would be a good chance of killing the kid.

"Let's hope so, or this matter will be troublesome. If we don't complete the mission, we'll not only lose our lives, but we'll also have a hard time explaining ourselves." The leader could only agree at this point. There was no other choice.

Legend has it that a thousand years ago, the Ye Family produced a peerless talent who broke through to the legendary Martial God realm, leaving behind an immortal legend that shocked the heavens and suppressed the ages!

Until the start of a great war, he disappeared completely. Some say he left behind a legacy and ascended, others say he fell in a secret realm. No one knows if he is still alive!

A lean camel is still bigger than a horse. The Ye Family has been able to survive for so many years, so naturally no one will underestimate it.

"Let's go. At this point, we have no other choice. We should adjust ourselves so that everyone can contribute their strength when the time comes!"

A furious roar made them tremble. At this time, they could only temporarily avoid the brunt of the attack and choose to act when the opportunity arose.

The Ye Family Forbidden Ground, a mysterious place, is shrouded in mist all year round. At the entrance stands a sign with the words "No Trespassing," which contains immense power.

No one in the entire Sect has ever set foot inside, except for the Sect Leader and the Grand Elder of Law Enforcement.

A Sect with two paragons. The last time it was opened was when the two of them were competing for the position of Sect Leader. The result was obvious.

"Big Brother, as expected, you're as sharp as ever. Your Buddhist Lion's Roar is even better than before."

"Little Brother, you're too kind. The two of us have been confined to this place for endless years, just for the sake of this moment."

"That's right, otherwise we wouldn't have stayed behind as members of the Ye Family instead of choosing to ascend."

Just then, the two old ancestors of the Forbidden Ground were also not idle, urgently summoning Ye Yang.

"So that's the case. What kind of paragon is it? If that's how it is, let him come over. Let us personally examine what kind of sacred being he is, and what cards he holds, that he dares to challenge Qin Hao, Paragon of Central Province?"

At this moment, within the Ye Family Forbidden Ground, two aged but dignified figures loomed, perfectly blending with the surrounding mist, making them inscrutable.

They were surrounded by faint spiritual energy fluctuations, like two ancient deities, quietly guarding this magical place.

In the center of the Forbidden Ground, an ancient altar emitted a faint light, with intricate runes carved on it, each containing an unspeakable power.

"How many years has it been? We've finally waited for this moment. I'm really looking forward to whether that kid can pass our test."

The wind gently blew, and the runes on the altar seemed to be activated, flowing with a mysterious radiance, inspiring awe.

"Buzz!"

At that moment, the ancient altar suddenly emitted a dazzling light, soaring straight into the sky, causing the entire Forbidden Ground to tremble.

"Wait, what's going on? Why did the Sect's Forbidden Ground formation suddenly activate? Is there a powerful enemy invading?" Ye Wushuang was extremely annoyed at this moment. He was just thinking about how to solve this trouble, but such a thing happened again, even affecting them slightly.

"Buzz..."

As the beam of light grew brighter and more intense, a bloodline power spread out, which anyone from the Ye Family could feel.

"No, someone must have awakened a pure bloodline power. Who is it? Could it be that good-for-nothing?"

Even those Ye Family members outside the Sect could feel this pride and reverence from the depths of their bloodline.

Looking at this beam of light, they seemed to see the glorious scenes of their ancestors forging ahead and creating their family's business.

"Grand Elder, I've already checked. There's no one. Could it be that Second Ancestor is testing something?"

Upon seeing this, the subordinate did not hesitate, but told the truth, informing him of all the news he had gathered.

The entire Ye Family is mainly focused on sword cultivation and is one of the top sword cultivation sects in Central Province. In recent years, there have even been two paragons from the same family.

A legendary figure appeared a thousand years ago, but it has declined now. However, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse, and no one dares to underestimate it.

"Grand Elder, should we arrange for someone else to go and inquire about the news? Otherwise, I really won't be able to find out."

The entire Sect is under his control, except for that magical area. Except for the last time he competed for the position of Sect Leader, he has never been out again!

"No need. At this time, there is only one possibility. Perhaps the powerful enemy being suppressed is starting to riot again."

Ye Wushuang stood in front of the window, looking at the brilliant light rising from the Forbidden Ground, and couldn't help but do some mental calculations.

"Kid, no matter what, since you have already accepted the Challenge Letter, there is no way to retreat. A month later, you will still end in failure. Let you stir things up a bit first, and see what kind of waves you can make."

He looked up in a certain direction and said nothing more, because he knew that after tonight, everything would be unknown.

"Young man, you've finally arrived."

When the light dissipated, a young figure appeared in the Forbidden Ground. This person was none other than Ye Yang, who possessed the qualities of a paragon!
