Dongfang Family, in the Outer Courtyard council hall.
Upon hearing that someone was causing trouble for the Dongfang Family, the Outer Courtyard Elder slammed the table and stood up angrily, "What a nerve, to dare cause trouble for the Dongfang Family, it's simply courting death!"
"I will go and see, which fool dares to provoke our Dongfang Family!"
The Outer Courtyard Elder flicked his sleeves and stormed out of the council hall.
The dozen or so disciples standing on both sides of the hall also sensibly followed along.
Not long after, the Outer Courtyard Elder saw Ye Qiu not far from the Outer Courtyard entrance. Before he could question Ye Qiu's identity, Dongfang Ye, who had been knocked unconscious at the entrance, woke up and staggered to his feet.
Upon seeing Dongfang Ye, the Outer Courtyard Elder's eyes instantly ignited with raging flames!
"Boy, you actually knocked my nephew unconscious. I was thinking of driving you away, but now it seems I must make you pay a price!"
The Outer Courtyard Elder was known for his favoritism. Seeing his nephew Dongfang Ye knocked unconscious, how could he tolerate this? He immediately decided to harshly punish Ye Qiu, making him pay a heavy price!
Boom!!!
In an instant, the aura of the Outer Courtyard Elder's King Realm Mid Period erupted, with the powerful momentum sweeping out like a storm, causing a nearby giant rock to shatter instantly.
Almost simultaneously, Dongfang Ye behind Ye Qiu shivered, his body shook, and he nearly fell again.
Dongfang Ye hadn't yet processed how he simply wanted to quickly find the family elders to report the situation, and now he was suddenly unconscious? Seeing his uncle confronting Ye Qiu, he had no time to think further!
The Outer Courtyard Elder was a top expert of King Realm Mid Period strength in the entire Dongfang Family.
However, Dongfang Ye had no confidence in him at all!
Just earlier, Ye Qiu single-handedly gravely injured and drove back seven top experts of Peak of the King level!
How could the Outer Courtyard Elder possibly catch Ye Qiu's eye?
His uncle treated him well, and naturally, Dongfang Ye didn't want to see him suffer. He quickly ran over, anxiously saying, "Second Uncle, you, you don't get worked up, don't act yet..."
"Don't talk!"
The Outer Courtyard Elder barked sharply, stepping forward to stand in front of Dongfang Ye, furiously saying, "Dongfang Ye, you are my nephew. Seeing you unconscious at the family gate, how could I, as your uncle, stand by idly?"
"Relax, no matter what you went through earlier, now that you're home, you're safe. Second Uncle will definitely make this person who knocked you out pay the deserved price!"
"Second Uncle, listen to me, it's not like that..."
Dongfang Ye was sweating heavily, desperately wanting to tell the Outer Courtyard Elder how terrifying Ye Qiu's strength was.
However, the Outer Courtyard Elder didn't have the slightest intention to listen to him, with a low shout, instantly flashing to Ye Qiu's face, raising his fist, carrying the whistling Gang Force to smash towards Ye Qiu.
This strike, the Outer Courtyard Elder held nothing back, with his King Realm Mid Period strength, even a person with Gang Force strength, even at the Peak of Gang Force, a head struck by this punch would burst apart firmly!
He was full of confidence in his punch, thinking Ye Qiu would even if not dead would be turned into a vegetable.
Considering Ye Qiu could knock out Dongfang Ye, he acknowledged Ye Qiu's strength, but even so, he didn't think Ye Qiu was stronger than himself, after all Ye Qiu was indeed too young.
A twenty-something reaching King Realm was not unheard of, but how many were there really?
Rebuking such a young lad couldn't be easier.
Yet, just when the Outer Courtyard Elder was brimming with confidence, Ye Qiu moved.
Without much commotion, just casually slapped, slapping the Outer Courtyard Elder's fist, instantly sending it flying.
Right after.
Crack! Crack!
Amidst the crisp sound of breaking, the bones of two fingers on the Outer Courtyard Elder's right fist broke.
Hiss—
Almost simultaneously, all the surrounding Outer Courtyard disciples gasped, everyone was shocked to the extreme.
"My goodness, what's happening?"
"The Elder is actually hurt?"
"God, even in the entire Dongfang Family, Elder is a top expert, now actually, actually got injured in one slap?"
The Outer Courtyard disciples were discussing, if not seeing it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed such a result.
"What? How is this possible?"
The Outer Courtyard Elder was dumbfounded, standing there dazedly, unable to come to his senses for a long time.
He never imagined that the young man looking about twenty, should possess such terrifying strength.
Just a casual slap, broke two of his fingers.
This person's strength, must be at the Peak of the King.
"Dongfang Ye this brat, from where did he provoke such a hermit expert?"
The Outer Courtyard Elder glared at Dongfang Ye, exasperated.
He was also an old fox of decades, under such circumstances, with such a disparity in strength, how could he continue to deal with Ye Qiu?
"Second Uncle..." Dongfang Ye was also helpless, weakly saying, "You were really too impulsive, I kept wanting to tell you not to act with this guy, his strength is simply too terrifying..."
"Humph!"
The Outer Courtyard Elder snorted coldly, his face terribly grim.
Though feeling Ye Qiu's strength, he was still very unhappy, unwilling to let the matter go.
Dignified Outer Courtyard Elder, in front of so many disciples, was slapped and injured, utterly humiliating!
The Outer Courtyard Elder resentfully looked at Ye Qiu for a long time, then gritted his teeth, saying, "Boy, you must be here to challenge our Dongfang Family, tell me your name!"
"Ye Qiu." Ye Qiu said expressionlessly, "I didn't come to cause trouble, I just want to meet your Clan Leader."
"Meet our Clan Leader?" The Outer Courtyard Elder sneered, coldly saying, "You can easily defeat me, indeed have some skill, but do you think this gives you the right to meet our Clan Leader? Don't be ridiculous!"
By rights, someone of Ye Qiu's strength, did indeed have the qualification to meet the Dongfang Family's Clan Leader.
However, the Outer Courtyard Elder simply didn't want him to meet the Clan Leader!
Just wanted Ye Qiu to pay the price, regaining his dignity!
"If not qualified, then I can fight till qualified." Ye Qiu smiled lightly.
"Heh, such bold words!"
Hearing Ye Qiu say this, the Outer Courtyard Elder suddenly felt pleased, now things could be handled well, since this kid spoke such words, clearly he was challenging the Dongfang Family's authority, enough to mobilize the strongest forces below the Clan Leader!
Ye Qiu right?
You have made me lose face, just wait for death!
"Ye Qiu, you wait for me!"
Leaving a resentful remark, the Outer Courtyard Elder turned and walked to the Inner Courtyard.
