All the spoils were collected.
Martial Venerable Ye Tian had also regained consciousness. Though he was still injured, he could at least walk without anyone supporting him.
"Thank you, young Jiang Li. If not for you, these old bones of mine—and perhaps even the Ye Family—would have met their end here today."
Martial Venerable Ye Tian looked at Jiang Li, suddenly feeling that his moment of kindness back then had been the best decision he had ever made.
He had heard about some of Jiang Li's exploits on the Linhai Battlefield. Jiang Li had grown far too quickly.
Not long ago, Jiang Li had still been a student who had yet to even take the college entrance exam.
Now, he had risen to heights that even Martial Venerable Ye Tian could not reach.
"Your current predicament also has something to do with me, Elder Ye. I should help."
"It seems the Ji Family has given you and the Ye Family plenty of trouble lately."
Jiang Li had not lost his respect for Martial Venerable Ye Tian simply because he had broken through to second grade.
"I'm used to it. The Ji Family has always kept the Ye Family under its thumb, but since I'm a Martial Venerable, they still have some reservations."
"I just never expected them to go this far."
Martial Venerable Ye Tian's voice was low. This time, Ji Yuanhua had clearly intended to watch him die.
This was no longer mere harassment. From this day onward, the Ji Family and the Ye Family could not live beneath the same sky. Coexistence was impossible.
Neither side would ever entrust its back to the other. This had been a lesson paid for at the boundary between life and death.
"Rest assured, Elder Ye. I'll settle this grievance for you!"
