C23

Ye Tianlin's eyes were wide open in anger, his handsome face filled with malevolence. The hissing sounds filled with killing intent was accompanied by a wave of surging spirit energy, causing the surrounding trees to suddenly explode, and dust filled the sky.

In the next moment, his body shot forward like lightning.

Ye Tianlin had doted on his only younger brother since he was young, and it could be said that he had always been willing to help. Although the former's cultivation talent was not as good as his, after entering the Martial Hall, Ye Tianlin had secretly given him many rare cultivation resources.

After knowing the difficulty of this exam, he even specially gave him the Ever-Flame Needle as a Spirit Weapon to protect Ye Peng.

It was because of this that Ye Peng was able to reach the sixth level of the Body Tempering stage at such an age, and he was filled with confidence in the results of this examination.

But how could Ye Tianlin have thought that even with the protection of the spirit weapon he sent over, Ye Peng … He actually died here.

"Who is it!" Ye Tianlin let out a fierce howl, his eyes bloodshot. He looked at Ye Peng's eyes, which were still filled with fear and hatred, as his killing intent soared to the heavens.

At this moment, the first thought in his mind was to sneak into the exam grounds and kill those unknown assassins.

However, looking at the unwillingness and hatred in Ye Peng's eyes, Ye Tianlin suddenly felt suspicious. Suppressing the killing intent in his heart, he squinted his eyes and squatted down.

"Spear?"

Ye Tianlin said in a cold voice. As he examined the situation, he could tell with a single glance that Ye Peng had died under the attack of his long spear.

This time, among the assassins, there were indeed a few with long spears. However, Ye Tianlin did not know why, but deep in his heart, Ye Hao's mysterious smile suddenly appeared.

"Don't tell me it's you!" Thinking that Ye Hao also had a long spear in his hand, a fierce look flashed across Ye Tianlin's eyes.

At this moment, he suddenly understood the reason behind Ye Hao's strange smile. At the same time, he recalled that Ye Peng had told him that he would finish off Ye Hao in this exam.

Thinking of this, although Ye Tianlin did not have any evidence, deep in his heart, he had already blamed Ye Hao for the death of Ye Peng.

"Regardless of whether you are or not, you will die with my younger brother!" Ye Tianlin angrily roared, his voice filled with an ice-cold killing intent.

Suddenly, his withered hand pressed down on Ye Tianlin's shoulder, suppressing his crazy killing intent. At some point in time, a skinny old man had appeared beside him.

It was the Ye Family's Great Elder.

"Grandfather!" The moment he saw the elder, Ye Tianlin fiercely said, "It must be that bastard Ye Hao. Grandfather, you must avenge Ye Peng!"

The Ye Clan's Great Elder was wearing a grey robe, and his emaciated face was filled with a grim expression. Ye Peng was also his direct descendant, yet he died just like that. How could he not be furious?

"Endure it."

However, a cold glint flashed across his eyes for a while before he opened his mouth and said, "We do not have conclusive evidence for this matter. We can only endure."

"But …" Ye Tianlin looked unresigned.

"Although Ye Yunfeng is suffering from severe internal injuries, he still possesses the strength of a Dao Realm cultivator. If he were to openly attack that little bastard, it's hard to say what he would do." Although he was also in the Dao Soul Realm, it was precisely because of this that he was clear on how terrifying a Dao Soul expert would be if they were to go crazy.

With a gloomy face, the old man said with a murderous intent, "But they won't have much time left. As long as you can successfully enter the Sky Profound Academy in half a year and have this backer, we don't need to worry about a mere Ye Yunfeng."

Hearing this, Ye Tianlin clenched his teeth and said coldly: "Then let them live for another half a year!"

"Are you confident you can get a spot?"

"I am determined to win the placing to the Tianxuan Academy. Who can contend against me in the Martial Hall now?" Ye Tianlin gave a cold laugh, full of pride.

"Let's go. Bring that Ye Ying back and hand her over to the Third Elder."

"..."

It was getting dark

The atmosphere in the training field of the Ye family was tense. It was as if the air had turned into ice. All the members of the Ye family were furious and full of killing intent.

"We have to check. How dare you sneak in an assassin in my Ye family's test. You are truly despicable."

"When has my Ye Family ever been so vindictive? We must take revenge!"

"Ai, calm down a bit. The Patriarch said he would investigate thoroughly, so what's the use of blabbering?"

"..."

Waves of noise rang out. On the high platform, four figures were seated. After counting the casualties, Ye Yunfeng's expression was quite ugly.

There were a total of 56 people who participated in this exam, 40 people died, and of the remaining 16 people, half were severely injured.

This time, it could be said that the Ye Family had truly suffered a loss. They didn't even know who their enemies were. Even if they wanted to take revenge, they had no way to do so.

"Second Elder, how is the Spiritual Array in the examination grounds?" Sighing lightly in his heart, Ye Yunfeng asked.

"We have already invited Master Fan Lin to go repair and reinforce us."

He knew that the former must have felt sorry for the cost of repairing the Spiritual Array. However, in the entire Black Lake City, only Fan Lin was a Spiritual Array Master. Even if they were treated like bullies, they had no other choice.

Moreover, it wasn't easy for him to calm his clansmen down at this moment, so he didn't have the mood to bother with these matters.

Thinking about this, he glanced at the Great Elder, who seemed to be asleep, and the Third Elder, who had a gloomy expression. He could not help but sigh.

However, if he knew that Ye Ying had attacked Ye Hao and was killed by Ye Hao in the forest, he would probably no longer have any sympathy for him.

"Second Elder, something unexpected happened this time. The result of this Martial Hall assessment …" Ye Yunfeng asked with an inquiring look in his eyes.

The Ye Clan's Martial Hall was under the control of the Second Elder, and even he, as the Patriarch, could not interfere too much. According to the rules, if the disciples could not obtain the required things, they must stay in the examination grounds for three days, otherwise, they would be expelled from the Ye Clan.

Under the invasion this time, the disciples who survived did not stay inside for three full days. If they followed the usual rules, then it would be too harsh.

"This is indeed a special case. We should handle it according to our own discretion."

The Second Elder frowned and muttered to himself, "How about this. Those who obtain the heart of the wolf can still enter the Martial Hall. As for the others, even if they pass, surviving this time will not be an easy task."

Hearing this, Ye Yunfeng nodded his head in agreement, while the other two elders continued to remain silent. It was evident that they did not have any objections.

As for the crowd present, after they learned of this result, no one objected. However, there were still some young disciples who were somewhat dissatisfied.

Most of these people had attended the examination in the past few years and had been stuck inside for three days, barely passing the examination.

In their minds, although there was an invasion, they did not personally experience it. The dangers were all hearsay and they clearly thought that it was exaggerated. Compared to the three days they had lived in the exam grounds, they must have had an advantage.

"Ye Ze, you're such a lucky bastard."

At the back of the crowd, although a few youths and girls were dissatisfied with this outcome, they did not dare to refute the elder's decision. They could only mock Ye Ze, who was covered in wounds and looked rather pathetic.

"Hehe, I heard that you were the first one to escape. Your reputation is beautiful. I guess you must have been scared to death inside?"

"I have to say that this bastard's luck is quite good. If it were in the past, a coward like him who escaped would have already been expelled from the clan."

The ridiculing voices of the youths without any scruples caused the surrounding young disciples to look at them with disdain. There were even some young girls that let out pleasant laughter. However, the ridicule within the laughter was extremely ear-piercing.

The surrounding jeers and jeers from the surroundings caused Ye Ze, who was not good at speaking, to have an unsightly expression. Anger filled his heart, and he accidentally caused his injuries to hurt as he began to cough violently.

"Are you, who took the exam back then and were like turtles, worthy of being compared with Ye Ze?"

Just when the mocking voice became even more intense, an indifferent voice that was not harmonious suddenly sounded from behind them, "Ye Ze, this time, he's destined to enter the Martial Hall. You people don't have the qualifications to mock him."
