When Ye Tianfeng called out a young man he had never seen before, everyone present was filled with doubt.

Could it be that he wants this young man to deal with Hong Wanshan, who is at the Golden Core stage? But how could that be possible?

Upon seeing Ye Chen's gaze, Hong Wanshan felt a strange sense of fear arise in his heart for some reason, and he was momentarily lost in thought.

When he realized what was happening, he couldn't help but feel annoyed and said to Ye Tianfeng.

"It seems the Ye family is truly out of options, actually sending out a mere brat who hasn't even grown up yet to try and oppose me. How utterly laughable."

The Hong family members were all arrogant, and their mockery was constant.

Ye Tianfeng's side, along with many Martial Alliance disciples, although none of them wanted the Hong family to be successful, no one thought that this young man could change anything.

After Ye Chen stepped forward, he didn't say a word, only coldly looking at the Hong family members.

Hong Xiuqing thought he was scared out of his wits and ran up to him to provoke him.

"That old bastard Ye Tianfeng sent you out to deal with my Hong family, kid, why don't you hurry up and do it? What are you standing here like an idiot for? If you're scared, then kneel down and kowtow three times to me."

As he spoke, he extended a finger and touched Ye Chen's chest.

The next second, Ye Chen moved.

He suddenly raised his hand, grabbed Hong Xiuqing's index finger, and bent it upwards.

"Snap!"

Hong Xiuqing's finger was completely broken, revealing the white bone fragments.

"Holy shit!"

The intense pain caused Hong Xiuqing to lose her mind, and she punched Ye Chen in the face.

Ye Chen grabbed his wrist and twisted it again.

"Ahhh... I'm going to kill you!" Hong Xiuqing let out a scream that was not human, and kept wailing and cursing.

This time, Ye Chen grabbed him by the neck.

From the moment Hong Xiuqing came to provoke him to the moment he snapped Hong Xiuqing's neck, it took only three seconds.

"No!"

Hong Wanshan and his son Hong Qian roared angrily at the same time.

Hong Xiuqing was the most talented martial artist among the younger generation of the Hong family. Both of them had high hopes for him, expecting him to shoulder the responsibility of the Hong family in the future. But now he died right in front of them.

"Holy crap, who is this Ye Yi? He's ruthless!"

"Ruthless and taciturn, a true wolf in sheep's clothing!"

"Good for him, that was so satisfying! But now he'll probably have to face the wrath of a Golden Core Realm expert."

Hong Wanshan's eyes were bloodshot, his teeth grinding together, and he glared at Ye Chen with utter venom. He forced out a few words through gritted teeth, "Die!"

Seeing that the two sides had already laid their cards on the table, Ye Tianfeng directly announced the crimes of Hong Wanshan and the Hong family.

"Hong Wanshan, five years ago you betrayed the Ye family and the Azure Dragon Army to join the Annihilation Alliance, and revealed the Azure Dragon Army's top-secret mission to the forces of the Sakura Kingdom, which led to the attack and annihilation of my eldest son Ye Yilong and three thousand other warriors."

Four years ago, you had Hong Qian invite my third son, Ye Yitian, to Jincheng, where you drugged his food, causing him to lose all his martial arts skills and ultimately die at the hands of terrorists in the Northwest.

Three years ago...

Each time he announced a charge, a clamor erupted in the room, and by the time he finished speaking, everyone's face was filled with raging anger.

"Hong Wanshan, you beast, you have no conscience whatsoever!"

"The Azure Dragon Army helped your Hong family rise to power and achieve its current status. How could you have such a cruel and ruthless army, harming so many of its soldiers? Have you lost your conscience?"

"You son of a bitch! I swear I'll kill you today, or I'm not a man!"

A group of veteran generals of the Green Dragon Army were all red-eyed and ready to fight Hong Wanshan to the death.

Faced with the public's condemnation, Hong Wanshan's face was extremely ugly. He originally thought that Ye Tianfeng only had some suspicions, but who knew that he had already found out everything.

"We cannot admit it. Once the Hong family's crime of colluding with the enemy and betraying the country is confirmed, they will face the revenge of a million soldiers of the Azure Dragon Army and the wrath of over a billion people of Great Xia."

This kind of pressure would be unbearable even for a Nascent Soul cultivator, let alone a Golden Core cultivator like him.

"This is a baseless accusation; the Hong family will not accept it!"

Ye Tianfeng snorted coldly, "If you feel wronged, then don't resist and accept the investigation by the Azure Dragon Army's law enforcement team."

"Commander Ye is right. If you truly have a clear conscience, then do you dare to accept an investigation?"

"A clear conscience fears no accusation; if you're so capable, go and face a military court!"

Although these veteran generals of the Azure Dragon Army did not know what evidence Ye Tianfeng possessed, they could tell from the attitude of Hong Wanshan and the Hong family that they definitely had something going on.

Faced with the pressure from the crowd, Hong Wanshan's face turned ashen, and he was immediately caught in a dilemma.

Ye Tianfeng was able to accurately recount those events, which means he must have already obtained a large amount of evidence of the Hong family's betrayal. Surrendering without resistance would certainly mean certain death.

But if they resist, it would be tantamount to going to war with a million-strong Azure Dragon Army, a result that neither he nor the Hong family could afford.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look towards the Hong family members.

"Kill Ye Tianfeng, and my ancient martial arts Qian family will provide protection for your Hong family." A voice rang in his ear.

Upon hearing this, Hong Wanshan's face lit up with joy. If he could get the Qian family's protection, not to mention the Ye family, even the entire Qinglong Army would be helpless against him.

As someone who had joined an ancient martial arts family, he understood the truth of this world better than most people present.

On the surface, the entire planet appears to be controlled by the royal families of various countries, as well as local powerful families and forces that control a large amount of resources.

In reality, beneath the surface, those who truly control this planet are the ancient martial arts families and sects that have been passed down for thousands of years, know countless secrets, and possess a large number of top-level experts.

He knew that the Qian family alone had four Golden Core Realm experts and even a Nascent Soul Ancestor.

With such a powerful family protecting them, coupled with the continued pressure from other forces in the Extinction Alliance, even the Azure Dragon Army would be preoccupied with its own problems.

He chose to betray the Ye Annihilation Alliance precisely because he saw its power.

"Since surrendering means death, and resisting also means death, why not give it a shot?"

Thinking of this, he immediately shouted coldly, "If you want to find fault, you can always find a pretext. Don't think you can force me to admit to things I didn't do. And the debt of your Ye family killing my grandson must be settled today!"

Ye Tianfeng nodded. "Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say. In the name of the Commander-in-Chief of the Azure Dragon Army, I sentence you and Hong Qian to death. The rest of the Hong family members will be incorporated into the Azure Dragon Army's Death Squad and sent to the front lines immediately!"

After saying that, he looked at Ye Chen and gave a low shout.

"Ye Yi, execute the order!"

"yes!"

Ye Chen agreed, looked at Hong Wanshan, pointed to an open space in the distance, and said indifferently, "Let's fight over there."

A Golden Core Realm expert possesses terrifying strength; once they make a move, the sheer force of their attack is immense, and the aftershocks alone are enough to kill everyone present.

Hong Wanshan didn't want to involve the Hong family, so he naturally nodded in agreement.

This young man in front of him wasn't even twenty-five yet. He refused to believe that he couldn't beat a mere kid.

As they spoke, the two of them sprang to their feet and quickly ran toward an open space in the distance.

During this process, the two sides have already begun to clash.
