Chapter 63: Ye Qin Returns

  That young man was about twenty years old, handsome and tall, wearing a black robe. The robes were generally very loose, but his robe seemed to be quite tight, unable to cover his robust body, with visible muscles like rocks.

  His shoes were worn out, obviously having traveled a long distance. His strides were extremely large, with each step covering about two meters. His pace was neither fast nor slow, but his speed was extremely quick.

  His vitality was fierce, as if there was a small sun hidden in his body, emitting endless heat.

  In the Three Treasures period of Xiu Yuan, the Original Qi is like a fiery furnace. In the Gu Yuan period, the Original Qi is like a small sun. In the Rong Yuan period, the Original Qi is like a great solar wheel, shining throughout the entire body.

  It's clear that this young man has already cultivated to the Yuanyuan period, and his strength is extremely powerful. Among the many witches of the Ye family, he can also be considered a top-notch strongman!

  What's most frightening is that he's still young, yet has achieved such a high level of cultivation at the age of twenty-something!

  Ye family's eldest son of the direct line, Ye Si Dao's only son Ye Qin has finally returned!

  "Big Brother!" Ye Xuan's heart was filled with boundless joy, and he shouted loudly.

  He was lonely and helpless in his childhood, with only an old slave accompanying him. Ye Qin treated him like a biological brother, taking care of him in every way. At this moment, seeing Ye Qin again, he was extremely excited.

  "You're... Old Seven!"

  Ye Qin saw Ye Xu, slightly stunned, showed a happy expression, and immediately quickened his pace, like a raging wind, in the blink of an eye he arrived in front of Ye Xu, looked him up and down, suddenly burst out laughing, opened his arms and gave Ye Xu a big hug!

  "Lao Qi, it's really you! When I left home, you were only this tall, just a little kid. Now you're almost as tall as me!"

  Ye Xuan's eyes were slightly moist, and he smiled: "Big brother, you've been away from home for four years now. Where have you been all these years? The master of the house has been searching everywhere for your whereabouts, but couldn't find you."

  Ye Qin shook his head and said: "It's hard to say. I went to the Qin Han battlefield, served as a foot soldier on the border, survived several life-and-death battles, and finally obtained amnesty, allowing me to return."

  "The Battlefield of Qin and Han?"

  Ye Xu was stunned. This vast continent had numerous countries, with Qin and Han being two of the major powers, producing many talented witches.

  The Qin Emperor who founded the country was a great witch with earth-shaking cultivation. He swept across the six directions, established his capital in Xianyang, gathered all the talented and extraordinary individuals from around the world, used copper essence and iron mother to refine twelve witch treasures and twelve bronze men as national treasures.

  Miaojiang is located within the borders of Qin State. Liu Zhou and other big or small states nearby are all territories of Qin, belonging to the southern coastal border area.

  Han was another major power bordering on Qin, with great military strength. The two states were sworn enemies and frequently at war.

  It is said that ordinary soldiers of the Qin and Han dynasties were at least innate martial arts masters, while Wu Shi could only hold low-ranking positions such as soldier leaders.

  To become a low-ranking general, one must at least be a master who has reached the Three Realms of Truth. To become a great marshal, one must have cultivated the Yuan Dan!

  On the battlefield of Qin and Han, the war was so tragic and grand that ordinary people can hardly imagine!

  Like Ye Si Dao and Ye Yun, these Miaojiang magnates have profound and unfathomable cultivation, but when they arrive on the Qin Han battlefield, they may not even be noticed.

  Ye Qin actually went to such a treacherous place, and actually stayed for four years, and was still alive when he came back, what a freak!

  "Wait a minute, who is this senior..." Ye Qin only then noticed Ye Fan and asked in confusion.

  He left Ye Fu four years ago, and Ye Fan was still causing trouble outside, killing people everywhere. Later, Ye Si Dao traveled the world to search for his whereabouts, and that's when he met Ye Fan and subdued him.

  So Ye Qin had never seen this old man either.

  Ye Xuan briefly explained Ye Yun's background and said, "Senior Ye Yun is temporarily in charge of teaching me witchcraft and will leave soon."

  Ye Qin didn't take it to heart and smiled: "Old Seventh, I've been away from home for so long now, my heart is burning with anxiety. I'll go back home first, then come to your courtyard to find you later!"

  Ye Xue watched him leave, feeling a bit sentimental. When his older brother Ye Qin left back then, he had only reached the 9th level of the Cang Ming Cultivation Technique, but now he had become a Wu Shi and reached the solid yuan stage.

  He was admired by people back then, and he is still outstanding now!

  Ye Fan and Ye Qin walked far away, Yin Sen Sen said: "Seventh Master, now as long as you say a word, I can immediately catch up with Ye Qin and kill him in my palm! Ye Qin has not returned home yet, killing him in the suburbs, no one will know that he died at our hands!"

  Ye Xu slightly stunned, angrily said: "Senior, why should I kill my brother?"

  "Why?"

  Ye Fan burst out laughing, his face twisted in a fierce grin: "Do you know why Ye Si Dao made me responsible for your safety and taught you witchcraft? It's because he already sees you as the next candidate for the position of head of the Ye family! Once he reaches the Mixed Yuan period realm, he will soon resign as head of the family and travel the world to seek a breakthrough and refine his yuan dan! At that time, you will be the head of the Ye family!"

  Ye Xuhuan's heart skipped a beat as he muttered: "Does the master of the manor want me to take over?"

  "Now that Ye Qin is back, he's the biological son of Ye Si Dao and his cultivation is higher than yours, his talent isn't inferior to yours either. Do you think you still have a chance at becoming the master of the manor?"

  Ye Yun sneered and said, "Seventh Master, the third trick I want to teach you is to be ruthless and cruel. To achieve your goal, don't hesitate to use any means necessary! You can still speak up now, as long as you do, I'll immediately chase after him and kill him!"

  Ye Xu fell silent, and Ye Fan continued: "The master of the Ye family has great power and influence, owning half of Liu Zhou's property, possessing three treasures of the Ye family, and having access to all resources! His cultivation progressed rapidly! In those days, Ye Si Dao was not even the eldest son of the Ye family. He had eight older brothers before him. Do you know why he became the eldest son and took over as the master of the manor?"

  Ye Fan's face was stern, and he said: "It's precisely because his eight older brothers died one after another, leaving only him with the highest cultivation! Why did those people die? Think about it carefully!"

  That year's battle for the master of the mansion was said to be extremely tragic, with many of Ye's sons killing each other. Ye Suidao managed to emerge victorious, but his methods were probably not glorious either.

  Ye Xumo was silent for a moment, then said calmly: "Senior, I won't compete with Big Brother for the position of Master, nor will I lay hands on him. If Big Brother wants to be the Master, he can take it."

  "Foolish kindness! He may not treat you the same way in return! Seventh Master, I hope you won't regret this in the future!" With that, Ye Yun summoned the Dragon-Subduing Eight Trigrams Formation and released the grey hawk, which spread its wings and flew westward with a loud whoosh.

  His voice came from afar, sighing: "The Ye family has two geniuses, I'm afraid it's not a blessing for the Ye family..."

  Ye Xue watched him leave, and resolutely said: "Big brother treated me like a biological brother, if it wasn't for his care, I wouldn't have made it this far! Therefore, I will never regret..."

  In the following days, Liuzhou was thoroughly stirred up, and the reasons for the stir were mainly in two aspects.

  Firstly, Ye Si Dao broke through the Three True Realm's Hao Yue period and successfully entered the Hun Yuan period realm, starting to move towards the Three Dan Realm.

  Secondly, Ye Jia's eldest son, Ye Qin, who had been traveling outside for four years, finally returned and showed off his powerful strength, solidifying his seventh-grade ranking!

  Even if it were the three major witch families of the ancient world, many people among the older generation of witches have not reached this level!

  Ye family, another genius emerged out of nowhere, even overshadowing Ye Xu's brilliance!

  In an instant, Ye Qin became the focus of everyone's attention.

  Ye Fan has left the Ye Manor, and although Ye Xu has become a Wu Shi, the gap in cultivation between him and Ye Qin is too great. Not only the Ye family but also the other two major Wu families believe that Ye Qin is destined to be the next master of the Ye Manor. As a result, people have been visiting Ye Qin non-stop.

  Although Ye Fan left, Ye Xu's daily practice remained uninterrupted. He devoted most of his energy to practicing Zhou Tian Xing Dou Lian Qi and Jiu Zhuan Yuan Gong, and spent a small portion of time practicing Qing Xiao Jiu Ji.

  Under Ye Fan's guidance, he has already taken his first step into the realm of Wu Shi and is moving forward tentatively.

  Seven days later, his Nine Turns Primordial Merit finally showed a subtle change, the speed at which this technique devoured primordial energy was slowly slowing down, which made Ye Xu extremely excited.

  "The fourth turn of the Nine Turns Primordial Merit is almost complete, I'm afraid it's about to be mastered by me!"
