Picking Up Attributes In Martial World-Chapter 68: Half Of Ye Clan

The stadium was chaotic, mostly because of the Ye Clan, as every member stood there seething in anger. It was as if they were about to go to war with someone and massacre thousands.

At least, that’s what their faces suggested.

It wasn’t a surprise, though, considering the reason for it. Just a few minutes ago, the Envoy from the Iron Frost Sect returned with the bloodied body of Ye Chen.

Seeing his state made many retch. As Martial Artists, they were used to blood and gore, but even they were affected by the sheer brutality inflicted upon him.

While the other two clans remained silent, they were also secretly surprised by the turn of events. Especially since they already knew the culprit.

Ye Jun, the trash Young Master of the Ye Clan. The man with the worst talent in Bright Star City. The same person everyone believed would be dead before his twentieth birthday.

He had secretly grown strong enough to defeat one of the geniuses of Bright Star City and leave him in such a state. It was truly shocking.

Naturally, this led them to focus on the woman sitting at the top. They all guessed that she was the reason behind Ye Jun’s sudden growth.

Only a behemoth like the Song Clan could turn trash into a genius in such a short time. They began to envy Ye Jun for receiving Song Liangxue’s attention while also wondering what was so special about him.

They could see no reason why Song Liangxue would be interested in him.

But nobody voiced their thoughts. It was a matter involving the Song Clan, so they preferred to keep their distance. If even a single mishap occurred, their entire clan might be wiped out by a random servant of Song Liangxue.

Not to mention, they were happy to see their rival facing internal conflict. They even hoped it would destroy the Ye Clan completely, though they knew it was only wishful thinking.

Ye Jun was their blood enemy, and behind him stood the behemoth Song Clan. They had no chance of winning.

"I will kill that bastard!" Ye Heng’s angry screams filled the stadium. "Even the Ancestor can’t protect him from me. Not this time!"

The reason for his outburst was clear. A few moments ago, some participants had returned and revealed everything Ye Jun did during the Martial Exchange.

The way he had massacred members of the Ye Clan.

It made even the Patriarchs of the other two clans grip their seats tightly as they wondered if the Ye Clan had given birth to a Heavenly Demon. This level of brutality and ruthlessness was rare even in the Martial World.

He alone had brought down half of the Ye Clan’s younger generation that participated in the Martial Exchange. The realization sent chills down their spines, especially since many of them were talented cultivators.

All of them dead.

One of them was Ye Heng’s son, his only child, which explained his reaction. He didn’t care about anything else at the moment except revenge.

While the other Elders of the Ye Clan tried to restrain him, lest he offend the Envoys, Ye Zhong had gone with the Envoy to treat Ye Chen. He had remained silent the entire time, but the killing intent radiating from him told everyone enough.

Patriarch Xie sighed and said, "Young Miss, are you sure this is fine?"

"I’m confused, Patriarch Xie," Song Liangxue, who had been smiling faintly until then, turned toward him. "What do you mean?"

"Ye Jun is clearly unstable," Patriarch Tang said. "He’s too ruthless and is likely very close to becoming a demon. We’re simply concerned about your future."

"My husband is unstable? Since when?" Song Liangxue pretended to be surprised.

The two Patriarchs could clearly see through her sarcasm, so they lowered their heads and chose not to continue further.

"Don’t be hypocrites, Seniors. You know very well what’s happening here," Song Liangxue said calmly. "And I support him in everything. The only reason I don’t act myself is because he’s my husband. He has his pride, and this is his revenge."

A cold glint passed through her eyes as she added, "If it were up to me, Bright Star City would only have two clans left."

The two Patriarchs glanced at each other and gave a short nod of understanding. They decided not to involve themselves further and, if possible, establish a cordial relationship with Ye Jun instead.

Just then, Song Liangxue’s smile widened as she said, "My hubby is here."

...

The travel back to the city was easy for Ye Jun since Meihui was with him. She had already memorized the paths they had used earlier, so they didn’t encounter any powerful beasts.

Still, Ye Jun felt envious of her. "You do know I spent years learning everything here, right? How did you learn it so easily?"

"Soul Tempering Realm will give you answers for that," Meihui replied calmly. "It’s better to experience it firsthand."

"It’s still far away," Ye Jun sighed and looked ahead. "Oh. We’re here. And I feel like we’re about to receive a wonderful welcome."

"Indeed. I can already feel the killing intent of many people," Meihui giggled softly. "You really angered many this time. I’m proud of you."

Ye Jun smiled as well. He turned to the west, noticing the sun’s last rays dancing across the horizon. "The Martial Exchange is almost over, so everyone must already be in the stadium."

"Hurry up then."

Ye Jun continued walking fearlessly despite knowing that an angry crowd awaited him, ready to kill him in countless ways. That thought only made him smile wider.

’You had your time bullying and torturing me,’ he thought. ’Now it’s my time. Suffer. Experience what you did to me.’

They soon reached the gates. All gazes fell upon them, as if everyone had been eagerly waiting for their arrival. At that exact moment, Ye Jun felt a wave of killing intent wash over him.

Coming from more than a hundred people, it would have paralyzed most cultivators. But Ye Jun didn’t even flinch. He felt nothing.

’This is nothing compared to that battlefield. Nothing.’

"I WILL KILL YOU!!"

He turned, only to see the Law Enforcement Elder of the Ye Clan lunging at him, his saber executing an unknown technique. But Ye Jun knew that if it landed, he would die.
