Danwu God Emperor

Everyone was stunned, as if a thunderbolt had struck overhead!

Could it be that Elder Chongzhong really abandoned his cultivation? The three elders are the pillars of the Ye family, which is why the Ye family has maintained its status as one of the three major families for decades.

"Elder Chongzhong, you mustn't!" Ye Lou stepped forward and said, "I will take full responsibility for my actions! I absolutely cannot implicate the elder!"

Ye Chongzhong nodded with satisfaction, his resolve strengthened. He looked at Ye Shan and Ye He and said, "I have already made this decision by intervening in this matter today. However, before I cripple my own cultivation, I still need to settle one matter on my mind."

"what's up?"

Ye Shan and Ye He exchanged a cold smile, secretly pleased. With Ye Chongzhong having crippled his cultivation and the other two elders traveling elsewhere, who in the vast Ye family could do anything to them? The lives of Ye Lou and his son were easily at their mercy.

"I demand that both of you voluntarily relinquish your positions as family heads!"

what?

"Ye Chongzhong, are you joking?" Ye He's lips curled up, completely ignoring his request.

"Do I look like I'm joking?" Ye Chongzhong remained calm.

Ye Shan stood up, his face full of displeasure, his lips twitching. "Then may I ask, Elder, besides my brother and me, who else in the Ye family can stand up to the heads of the Wu and Dong families, and who else is qualified to be the head of the family? As long as you can convince us to step down as the head of the family, what's wrong with that?"

"I made this decision because I already had someone in mind."

"Who?"

"Ye Lou!"

In an instant, all eyes turned to Ye Lou, making him feel extremely uncomfortable. He smiled wryly as he watched Ye Chongzhong's retreating figure. This elder was really unpredictable.

"Hahahaha!" Ye He laughed loudly. "Elder Chongzhong, are you kidding me? If you can't find a suitable person, you don't have to choose an underage brat. If the Dong family and the Wu family attack, who knows where he'll be hiding and wetting his pants."

Ye Haotian quickly replied, "Elder, thank you for your kindness to my son, but Lou'er is still too young to be the head of the family."

"That's right. Although Ye Lou is quite talented, there's still Ye Leng above him. He's the number one junior in the Ye family." The Ye family members discussed among themselves, expressing their dissatisfaction.

Ye Shan laughed and said, "Elder, if you don't give a reason, I don't think it will be convincing to the public."

Ye Chongzhong looked around and saw that everyone was staring at him, but they were somewhat unconvinced. After all, it would make outsiders think that the Ye family was incompetent if word got out that a minor was in charge of leading them.

He turned around and said to Ye Lou, "Use the martial arts technique you learned that day."

Martial arts?

Ye Lou was puzzled, so he focused his energy in his dantian and gathered it in his palm. He chanted an incantation, and a terrifying black mist enveloped his palm. He then unleashed a palm strike, and the black mist rolled and surged, sweeping over the nearby rocks and pulverizing them.

"Wow, that's amazing! What kind of martial art is that?" The crowd was shocked and turned to look.

Almost simultaneously, everyone's pupils contracted, and they gasped. They already knew the answer in their hearts, but dared not say it aloud.

Ye Shan stared in astonishment and exclaimed, "Impossible! You couldn't possibly have learned the Southern Nose Palm!"

"You read that right. Ye Lou did indeed receive the ancestral inheritance at the Martial Arts Pavilion that day. The ancestral precept is that whoever obtains the Southern Nose Palm will become the head of the family." Ye Chongzhong's voice was resonant and each word was clear and resonant, causing every member of the Ye family to tremble with fear.

Ye Haotian looked bewildered. He only knew that Ye Lou had recovered his strength, but he never expected such good fortune.

The Southern Nose Palm technique was an ancestral martial art, and no one in the clan had ever inherited it. Back then, he bore the title of God of War, and everyone in the clan thought they could gain the ancestor's approval. But they were disappointed nonetheless.

Therefore, he deeply understood the significance of being able to cultivate the Southern Nose Palm. He was the first person in the Ye family in hundreds of years, and he was bound to reach the heights of his ancestors in the future.

Ye Haotian said excitedly, trembling, "Lou'er, you really learned the Southern Nose Palm."

"Yes, I did learn the Southern Nose Palm technique." Ye Lou nodded slightly.

Ye Haotian was so happy he couldn't speak, and after a long while he managed to utter a few words: "Good, good!"

Ye Shan and Ye He exchanged a glance and immediately understood each other's thoughts. This Ye Lou's talent was almost demonic; given time, he would definitely become a threat in the future. They had to eliminate him before he grew up. However, since this old fellow was protecting him, they would hold off on making a move for now.

The two nodded, signifying their agreement with each other's thoughts.

Ye Shan stepped forward and said, "Elder, our ancestors left us the instruction that whoever inherits the family name must become the head of the family. Ye He and I will naturally abide by this. However, talent and strength are not absolutely related. As long as Ye Lou can prove that he does have the strength, we will definitely step down from the position of family head."

Ye Lou's eyes flashed like lightning as he pointed directly at the other person and said, "How do you want me to prove it?"

Ye Shan smiled coldly, "Seven days later, my son Ye Leng will return. Your battle with him will prove that you have enough talent to take the position of family head."

impossible! Absolutely impossible!

The thought immediately popped into everyone's mind: before leaving, Ye Leng was already the number one junior in the Ye family, known as a genius. Even though Ye Lou had some talent, it was ultimately like throwing an egg against a rock.

"Okay, I promise you!"

Ye Lou agreed without hesitation, for the path of martial arts requires overcoming all obstacles.

"Excellent! If you are no match for my son in seven days, it means you are not the genius our ancestors valued, and you will have to hand over the Southern Nose Palm. Moreover, you will have to repay Yifei's life! Elder Chongzhong, you must also remember your promise." Ye Shan had clearly increased the stakes.

"If I defeat Ye Leng in three days, not only will you two have to relinquish your positions as family heads, but you will also have to kowtow a hundred times to my father to admit your mistakes, and then get out of the Ye family!"

hiss!

Everyone gasped!

"You... I'll let you live for another seven days!" Ye Shan gritted his teeth and left angrily.
