Sword Rises in the Blue Lagoon, Why Are All the Sword Cultivation Families Older Than Old Six?

“How have the Liu family considered it? Don't rush to refuse. Refusal won't do you any good. It might lead to animosity with my Ye family. If you agree to this marriage, perhaps you can board the ship of my Ye family in this upcoming great era. I'm just saying, in the eyes of my Ye family, we don't even look at your super powers,” the Third Elder said. The Liu family members were somewhat tempted. Weren't they seeking a powerful helper by marrying the Zhang family? Now, a single member of the Ye family could break their clan's protective formation. Their combined strength couldn't achieve that. This deterrent force made the Liu family's old ancestor and grand elder a little breathless. Everyone pondered and exchanged glances.

By any calculation, marrying the Ye family was more worthwhile. After considering it, the leading elder of the Liu family decided to speak, “Since the Ye family has come to propose marriage, why not enter the clan and talk? We, the Liu family, should offer the hospitality of the host.” He was the most cultivated person in the Liu family present, at the eighth level of the Tribulation Realm.

Upon hearing the Liu family elder's words, the Zhang family's Tribulation Realm first level elder immediately objected, “I don't know what Elder Liu means by this. Where does this leave our Zhang family? Our Zhang family will never agree.”

“Not agree? So what?” The Ye family's Third Elder spoke at this moment.

“Ye family, because of you, our Zhang family has lost face today. I don't believe that everyone in your Ye family is a master; there won't be anyone who gets separated.” Before the Zhang family elder could finish speaking, a sword aura, wrapped in ruthless killing intent, slashed towards him. Instantly, his head flew up, and his nascent soul, wanting to escape, was also shattered by the aftermath of the sword aura. He died and his Dao vanished.

At this moment, the Ye family's Third Elder, Ye Cangkong, retracted his hand. He was also at the first level of the Tribulation Realm, but with his Supreme Sword Body and the Sword Dao realm of Great Accomplishment of Sword Heart, he was enough to instantly kill cultivators of the same cultivation level with one sword. He smiled and said, “You even dare to threaten my Ye family? Do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill someone?” Seeing this, the rest of the Zhang family dared not say more. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, they exchanged glances and left the Liu family together.

At this time, everyone present watched them leave, and no one stopped them. Ye Cangkong looked at the Liu family members, who still looked surprised. An elder of the Zhang family had just been killed like that. The Zhang family would definitely retaliate. As super powers of the Central Continent, the Liu family was much weaker than the Zhang family. The Liu family elder said, “I don't know how to address you, fellow Daoist? The Zhang family elder died in my Liu family today. The Zhang family will surely come to retaliate. My Liu family can hardly bear the Zhang family's anger…”

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Cangkong interrupted him, “The Liu family doesn't need to worry. My Ye family will bear it all. It's just a Zhang family; they can't make any waves. Alright, let me introduce myself. My name is Ye Cangkong, the Third Elder of the Ye family. This person next to me is Ye Cangxue, the Eighth Elder of the Ye family.” The Liu family members looked at them. They only introduced these two people; they didn't even mention the unfathomable strength of those standing behind them.

The Liu family elder made a gesture of invitation and said, “Cangkong, Cangxue, fellow Daoists, please enter the main hall to talk.”

Ye Cangkong and the others smiled and followed.

At this moment, Aunt Lan had already brought Ye Tianchen and the others outside the Du family. As soon as they entered the door, the Du family's steward greeted them. Before he could speak, Aunt Lan said, “Let your patriarch come out quickly. Today, distinguished guests have come to visit.” The steward glanced at Ye Tianchen, Liu Xingyao, and the others behind Aunt Lan and turned around and ran in.

Aunt Lan also led the group towards the main hall. Just as they entered the main hall, hurried footsteps came from behind, and a voice came, “I didn't know that Senior Lan and all the distinguished guests were coming. Du has failed to welcome you properly. I hope you will forgive me.”

“Alright, Du Chong, no need to be so polite. This is Miss, and this is the son-in-law. The purpose of their visit this time is to take Xiaomeng away,” Aunt Lan introduced.

Du Chong hurriedly cupped his hands, bent over, and saluted, “Greetings, two adults. Please wait a moment.” As he spoke, he winked at the steward beside him, and the steward immediately turned and left.

At this time, Ye Tianchen looked at the Du family head with his hands behind his back, “Du Chong, right?”

Du Chong quickly nodded, “You are very good. Xiaomeng was able to grow up safely. Your contribution is indispensable. This is what I, Ye Tianchen, owe you.” As he spoke, a space ring landed in Du Chong's hand, “A small token of my appreciation. I owe your Du family a favor. At any time, in times of crisis for the Du family, I can take action three times for you.”

Du Chong scanned the space ring with his divine sense. The resources inside were enough for all the Du family members to cultivate for more than ten years. What a generous gesture. Who exactly is Xiaomeng's father, he thought.

“Adult, these resources are too precious…”

Ye Tianchen raised his hand to interrupt him, “These are nothing. As long as Xiaomeng is safe, even ten or a hundred times more would not be too much. You don't need to decline.”

Du Chong once again cupped his hands and saluted, “Then thank you, adult.” He put away the space ring. He knew that compared to these resources, Ye Tianchen's three opportunities to take action were a hundred or a thousand times more valuable. He was already overjoyed in his heart. The opportunity that Senior Lan brought to their Du family this time was truly great.

After a while, a well-dressed, generous young woman and the Du family steward walked in. The woman looked six parts similar to Liu Xingyao, a natural beauty, and the remaining four parts inherited Ye Tianchen's heroic spirit. When she learned that her parents had come, there was still a hint of vigilance in her eyes, which made everyone present know at a glance that they were right, it was this master.

She raised her eyes and saw a woman who looked a few parts similar to her was walking quickly towards her. When she got close, she hugged her tightly and cried, “Xiaomeng, it's mother who is sorry for you, leaving you alone.” Seeing this scene, Ye Tianchen's eyes also became moist.

After a while, the two slowly separated. Ye Tianchen leaned Liu Xingyao on his shoulder and looked at Ye Qimeng. Ye Qimeng stopped crying, “Mother, don't blame yourself. I know you did this to protect me and had no choice but to do so.”

“Xiaomeng, Dad is late, making you mother and daughter so close yet unable to recognize and reunite. Dad promises you that this kind of thing will never happen again,” Ye Tianchen said.

Ye Qimeng looked at this man with a face full of vicissitudes, both familiar and strange. Is this her father? Isn't he a disciple of a small family? Why do the words he speaks make her feel so at ease?

“Father, your cultivation? Why is it different from what Senior Lan said?” Ye Qimeng asked in confusion.

“Those are just past clouds and smoke. Now you only need to know that on this Canglan Continent, no one can bully you. You will be the daughter of the Ye family's Palace Master in the future. Even if the powerful people of the Canglan Continent are in front of you, you can act calmly. The Ye family will be your strongest backing in the future,” Ye Tianchen finally quoted Ye Xuan's words.

Ye Qimeng asked expectantly, “Dad, is what you said true?” Ye Tianchen nodded.

“I don't have to look at other people's faces anymore, and I don't have to care about other people's opinions anymore. I, Ye Qimeng, can finally do what I want to do.” At this moment, Ye Qimeng's emotions that had been suppressed for twenty years were all vented out, and she once again threw herself into Ye Tianchen and Ye Qimeng's arms and cried loudly.

Ye Tianchen gently stroked her head, giving silent comfort.
