Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times

The audience members overheard their conversation and began whispering among themselves: "Ye Yu is right. Xu Kui is ruthless and vicious. Anyone who falls into his hands will be missing an arm or a leg."

The Feng family members also felt a sense of satisfaction: "He deserves it. He should have tasted the bitterness of having his hands and feet broken. This person is so ruthless, which is inseparable from his master."

Shan Shuhai naturally heard what everyone was saying. Not wanting to attack Ye Yu in front of her, he could only pick up Xu Kui with a gloomy expression and take him to Doctor Zhang for treatment.

Ye Yu returned to the audience seats, and Shen Yunling excitedly surrounded her: "Sister Ye Yu, how many things are you still hiding from us? Even Xu Kui was easily defeated by you."

Ye Yu didn't bother to answer Shen Yunling's question. She looked at Shen Congxing and Shen Xing and said, "Uncle Shen, I crippled Xu Kui today, which means I've made an enemy of the Tiger Tail Sect. They'll probably hold the Shen family accountable for this."

Shen Congxing smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, the Shen family and the Tiger Tail Sect have long been enemies. Even if you don't cripple Xu Kui today, they will join forces with the Qi family to find an opportunity to destroy us. At worst, we will go into seclusion after this competition and make sure they can't find us."

Shen Xing also said, "It was because the Tiger Tail Sect wronged Yun Chuan without distinguishing right from wrong that the old man died of resentment, and the Shen family declined as a result. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to avenge this."

Ye Yu felt much relieved after hearing what the two said, and then she began to deal with Shen Yunling's questions.

Although the people sitting on the platform knew that Ye Yu had some skills, they did not expect that she could defeat Xu Kui.

Wu Fan sighed and said to Wu Xinrui, who was sitting behind him, "Xinrui, you didn't lose unjustly."

Wu Xinrui was still somewhat unconvinced, feeling that if she had resisted more firmly back then, she might not have lost to Ye Yu.

But now she was completely convinced. Even someone as ruthless and cunning as Xu Kui could be hurt so badly by Ye Yu, which showed that Ye Yu had held back against her at the time.

The sect leader of Fenghua Sect whispered to her husband, "This girl has a limitless future. Not to mention that she has such a high level of cultivation at such a young age, just the fact that she dared to ignore Shan Shuhai's threat makes me think she is remarkable. If we have the opportunity, we should recruit her to our Fenghua Sect."

Her husband nodded, indicating that he understood.

Since Ye Yu defeated Xu Kui, it means that in the afternoon, only Ye Yu, Zhao Yuci, and Mu Qingchuan will compete for the top three.

Old Master Ding stroked his beard and instructed his subordinates, "When we hold the banquet at noon, invite the Shen family members as well, and be sure to invite that Ye Yu over."

He added, "If she is unwilling to come, tell her that my Ding family can help her secretly deal with the Tiger Tail Gate."

Wu Fan, who was worried about not having a chance to get in touch with Ye Yu, also took the opportunity to say, "Tell her that my Wu family is also willing to help mediate."

"Feng Hua Sect is also willing."

"Hehe, if everyone is willing, then my Zhao family will also lend a hand."

As a result, apart from the Tiger Tail Sect, everyone was actually willing to help Ye Yu with this favor.

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Old Master Ding smiled and said, "Since everyone is so curious about this young friend Ye Yu, then this old man will organize a meeting to see what kind of background this kid has."

Zhang Xiangyu's grandfather sat to the side, his expression impassive, but he was extremely surprised.

I never expected that Ye Yu would be favored by these top sects. It seems that my grandson has a good eye.

Qi Ming, the head of the Qi family, who was not far from the podium, broke out in a cold sweat after watching the whole thing.

She thought to herself that it would probably not be so easy for her to deal with the Shen family in the future, and she wondered how the Shen family could be so lucky to find Ye Yu.

Moreover, judging from Old Master Zhang's expression, he seemed quite satisfied with Ye Yu.

Ye Yu and the Shen family were unaware of what had happened. They were about to get up to have lunch when the Ding family members came up to Ye Yu and said respectfully, "Miss Ye Yu, Mr. Shen, our patriarch would like to invite you to have a casual meal at the Ding family's house."

Upon hearing the Ding family's invitation, the Shen family members showed delight. However, they did not immediately agree, but instead looked at Ye Yu.

Because they knew in their hearts that inviting Ye Yu was the Ding family's main purpose, and they were just secondary.

Ye Yu didn't want to have anything to do with the Ding family. Besides, although it was the Ding family who invited her, there were several other families at the dinner, and who knows what kind of trouble might arise.

The servants of the Ding family thought to themselves, "The patriarch's guess was spot on. I never expected that Ye Yu would be so disrespectful."

He bowed again with a smile: "The patriarch also said that he greatly admires your abilities at such a young age and would like you to come and chat with him."

"He also said that if you go, he is willing to mediate between the Tiger Tail Sect and the Shen family. At the same time, the Sect Master of the Feng Hua Sect, the Elder of the Wu family, and the Head of the Zhao family have all agreed to help mediate."

"Hehe, getting so many companies to help at the same time is no easy feat."

Ye Yu's thoughts were churning. Of the four families, only the Wu family wanted to inquire about the art of controlling objects; the other three families probably just wanted to win him over.

She has already offended the Tiger Tail Sect. If they are willing to step in and help mediate, it will benefit the Shen family and her own family members.

In order to prevent the Shen family from going into seclusion and the Tiger Tail Sect from finding out the whereabouts of their own family members and taking revenge.

She had originally planned to wait until the martial arts tournament ended, then find an opportunity to set up a magic array and kill Shan Shuhai even if it meant serious injury.

However, if the other four parties are willing to step in and mediate, it will give me plenty of time to cultivate myself.

Once she breaks through to the sixth or seventh level of Qi Refining, her chances of killing Shan Shuhai will be much greater.

So she nodded and said, "Alright, since the heads of the families have invited us, let's go."

The servants of the Ding family were naturally delighted and respectfully invited Ye Yu and the others into the main residence of the Ding family.

The main house of the Ding family is still in the style of a stilted building, mainly made of stone with wood as a secondary material, and decorated with blue tiles, creating a unique style.

The three elements complement each other, showcasing the unique aesthetic appeal of Miao architecture.

The servants led Ye Yu and the others through the hall and past a garden. A gentle breeze blew, and the leaves slowly drifted down.

Ye Yu stopped, gave a soft hum, and used her bone needle to pin four or five fallen leaves that were drifting towards her to a tree stump with a few 'whoosh' sounds.

Shen Congxing and his companions, unaware of the situation, immediately became alert.

Ye Yu recalled the bone needles that had flown out, and the leaves fell to the ground, revealing several small, dark purple scorpions.

She said, "Does Miss Ding need to hide in her own home?"

A clinking sound came from around the corner, and Ding Junning, Wu Xinrui, Zhao Yuci, Mu Qingchuan and others came out.

Wu Xinrui said, "Am I right? Your methods are useless against her."

Ding Junning's smile was somewhat alluring, her eyes fixed on Ye Yu: "You actually discovered the Gu worm that I had attached to the leaf."

"Unfortunately, the venomous scorpion I carefully raised can paralyze a person's entire body and render them unable to move if they are touched even slightly."

Ye Yu looked directly into her eyes without flinching and said with a smile, "It is a bit of a pity."

She knew Ding Junning was trying to bewitch her, but Ye Yu didn't take her seriously with her limited skills.

She released her spiritual power, and Ding Junning felt as if her head had been pricked by several needles. After a sharp pain, she felt dizzy and lightheaded.

Mu Qingchuan, who was standing next to her, helped her up and saw that her face was pale.

"Young friend Ye Yu, please show mercy."

From a stilted house not far away, filled with bamboo, came a plump old man dressed in Miao clothing.

He stepped forward with a somewhat nervous expression to check on Ding Junning's condition. He saw that she was only covering her head and had no wounds on her body. Not knowing what was going on, he could only look at Ye Yu.

Ye Yu said expressionlessly, "Is this how Elder Ding invited me here? To give me a hard time first?"

Grandpa Ding immediately explained, "Oh dear, this is my granddaughter being unreasonable. She insisted that she had never sparred with you before and wanted to have a friendly match. She's no match for you, and she didn't even use the right method. I apologize on her behalf."

Ye Yu decided to stop while she was ahead: "She's not seriously injured, she just feels dizzy and lightheaded. She'll be fine after lying down for an hour."

Hearing Ye Yu say this, Grandpa Ding breathed a sigh of relief and politely invited Ye Yu into the house.
