I became a Sword Emperor in the Martial Arts World

Chapter 129 The whole family is about to die in a neat and orderly fashion.

Late at night, Zhao Zhiyi, the president of the Xingcheng Martial Arts Association, received a phone call from Wang Anyuan, the association's director.

"What's going on? Why are you calling so late?"

"President, something terrible has happened."

Upon learning that Ye Qingzhou, the young genius he had high hopes for, had been attacked, Zhao Zhiyi was instantly wide awake and demanded details: "This is outrageous! Who did this?"

Wang Anyuan knew that Ye Qingzhou was exceptionally talented and highly regarded by Zhao Zhiyi, so he quickly replied, "It was Xing Jiansong who did it. He sent Zhou Lianyu, the security captain of Ruibang Company, with his men to besiege Ye Qingzhou."

"Is Ye Qingzhou alright?"

As the president of the Xingcheng Martial Arts Association, Zhao Zhiyi basically managed the entire martial arts community in Hunan Province.

His greatest achievement was discovering outstanding young martial arts geniuses.

Ye Qingzhou is currently his most valued martial arts prodigy, so Zhao Zhiyi naturally doesn't want anything to happen to Ye Qingzhou.

Wang Anyuan sighed: "Ye Qingzhou is fine, but twenty of Ruibang's men died, leaving only Zhou Lianyu alive."

"..."

Zhao Zhiyi was speechless upon hearing this, only feeling that Ye Qingzhou was so young yet had such a strong bloodthirsty nature.

Now that people have died, and twenty people have died at once, the matter is naturally very serious.

"President, how should we handle this situation now?"

The matter involved some powerful figures whom he couldn't afford to offend, and Wang Anyuan was at a loss. Therefore, he wanted to ask Zhao Zhiyi, the president of the Hunan Provincial Martial Arts Association, to make a decision personally.

Zhao Zhiyi also found this situation extremely difficult. He rubbed his forehead and asked, "How did Ye Qingzhou end up going up against Xing Jiansong?"

"This morning, Ye Qingzhou arrived at Jilei Mountain. Because of the additional competition, he took the spot that originally belonged to Xing Yaoming. When Xing Yaoming found out about this, he was furious and got into an argument with Ye Qingzhou. In the end, Ye Qingzhou slapped him, knocking out all his teeth..."

Wang Anyuan told Zhao Zhiyi the whole story.

"Ugh, all you ever do is cause me trouble."

Zhao Zhiyi was speechless. What was originally a small matter had escalated into this.

Zhao Zhiyi held Xing Yaoming in utter contempt, because in terms of strength and qualifications, Xing Yaoming was not qualified to enter Jilei Mountain at all; his spot was taken from someone else.

Moreover, even if Xing Yaoming can't get in this month, he can still get in next month. But he couldn't hold back and went to pick a fight with Ye Qingzhou. He deserves it.

But while reason is reason, in this world, besides fairness, there is also something called "human relationships and social customs".

Xing Yaoming is indeed trash, but who can blame him for being lucky?

In this world, not everyone's maternal uncle can be a martial arts master.

After thinking it over, Zhao Zhiyi immediately made a decision: "Zhou Lianyu is the only survivor, right?"

"Yes."

"Then let's find a way to shut him up forever. Let's leave it at that."

It was obvious that Zhao Zhiyi wanted to suppress the matter and did not intend to hold Xing Jiansong accountable.

"But Ye Qingzhou is still waiting for an explanation from our Martial Arts Association..."

Wang Anyuan was clearly in a dilemma. If this matter ended here, would Ye Qingzhou, given his personality, really be able to swallow this insult?

As for Zhao Zhiyi, although he was optimistic about Ye Qingzhou's future potential, potential is potential, and strength is strength.

Ye Qingzhou may only become the next Zhang Xinwu, but Xing Jiansong's brother-in-law Zhao Baoming is now a genuine martial arts master.

Moreover, he is a martial arts master at the peak of the third level of the Ascension Realm, currently cultivating in seclusion within the Xuanming Cave Heaven. The day he breaks through this barrier, he will reach the Earthly Fiend Grandmaster realm of the fourth level of the Ascension Realm.

As the president of the Wushu Association, Zhao Zhiyi was undoubtedly a very rational person. Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, he chose to side with Zhao Baoming and protect Xing Jiansong.

However, Ye Qingzhou is, after all, a promising martial arts prodigy, and should be properly appeased.

After a moment's thought, Zhao Zhiyi instructed Wang Anyuan, "How about this? Didn't the higher-ups just issue a sample of Conglong Jade Marrow? Take it and give it to Ye Qingzhou as compensation."

"Chalcedony?"

Wang Anyuan was startled: "This substance is said to originate from Kunlun Grotto Heaven, and is the resin of the Panlong Immortal Tree. It is a top-grade rare treasure, and consuming it can improve a person's aptitude and innate talent. Its value is immeasurable. Are we really just going to give it away like this?"

"Even the best things need to be given to the right people to be effective. The world situation is getting worse and worse, and our Eastern Pole Kingdom needs to make preparations as soon as possible."

Zhao Zhiyi sighed. As the president of the Hunan Provincial Martial Arts Association, he was indeed in a high position and held great power, but he also faced immense pressure.

Especially given the current situation, with the crisis constantly looming, humanity has less and less time left.

…………

Three days later, at Linjiang No.1 Middle School.

Principal's Office.

"Hello Ye Qingzhou, my name is Wang Anyuan, and I am the director of the Xingcheng Martial Arts Association. I'm here today to discuss something with you."

"Hello, Governor Wang."

Ye Qingzhou had a bad feeling about the newcomer's behavior: "Excuse me, has Xing Jiansong been arrested?"

"this……"

Wang Anyuan looked somewhat embarrassed, but remembering President Zhao Zhiyi's instructions, he could only brace himself and explain to Ye Qingzhou: "The matter is not what you think, Ye. After investigation, our Martial Arts Association found that Xing Jiansong was not involved. It was all Zhou Lianyu's own doing."

Ye Qingzhou didn't bother listening to a single word of this nonsense: "Where is Zhou Lianyu?"

"He committed suicide last night with his shoelaces as a sign of guilt."

"Good riddance."

Ye Qingzhou clapped his hands and exclaimed, "That way, there's no way to prove anything! Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!"

If Ye Qingzhou were to question him angrily, Wang Anyuan might feel a little more at ease.

But seeing the young man in front of him remain calm and even joke in the face of such injustice, Wang Anyuan felt a chill run down his spine and his hair stand on end.

Such cunning! This boy is terrifying!

"Ahem, Ye, the president knows you've been wronged in this matter, but many things can't be done impulsively; we need to consider the bigger picture."

After saying that, Wang Anyuan took out a brocade box that he had prepared in advance and gently placed it in front of Ye Qingzhou: "This is compensation from the Hunan Provincial Martial Arts Association to you, Ye Qingzhou."

As soon as the brocade box was opened, a wonderful fragrance wafted out, filling Ye Qingzhou's nostrils and invigorating him.

The treasure before me was like liquid glass, crystal clear and colorful, emitting a unique energy fluctuation. Just smelling it made all the cells in my body seem to come alive, becoming vibrant and full of life.

"This item is Conglong Jade Marrow, produced from the Panlong Immortal Tree in Lingyun Cave. It is extremely precious and has the miraculous effect of improving the aptitude and innate talent of martial artists. It is priceless."

Wang Anyuan spoke in a persuasive tone, clearly hoping that Ye Qingzhou would accept the compensation and forgive the past.

In the adult world, nothing is off-limits for mutual benefit.

In the past, Ye Qingzhou, with his money-grubbing nature, might have accepted the gifts.

But now that he has mastered his divine skills, why would he compromise himself for a little bit of external things?

Moreover, he was a peerless genius, one in ten thousand. Did he really need to use the Conglong Jade Marrow to further improve his aptitude and physical constitution?

ridiculous!

Ye Qingzhou took another deep breath of the fragrance of the Conglong Jade Essence, then closed the lid of the brocade box and pushed it back in front of Wang Anyuan.

Wang Anyuan was stunned upon seeing this: "Student Ye, what does this mean?"

"I don't need the things. Magistrate Wang, please leave."

Ye Qingzhou spoke calmly, his face revealing neither joy nor anger.

The more composed he remained, the more alarmed Wang Anyuan became. He quickly advised, "Student Ye, you are still young and have a bright future ahead of you. Please don't go down the path of crime. Take my advice, it's not worth it. When you achieve success in the future, revenge will be just a matter of a word."

Ye Qingzhou shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, Magistrate Wang, but I don't have much patience and I'm afraid I can't wait that long."

"Student Ye, please don't act impulsively. Trust the Martial Arts Association; we will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."

Wang Anyuan felt a chill run down his spine. If Ye Qingzhou really went and killed Xing Jiansong, given Zhao Baoming's protective nature, this matter would probably not end well.

However, Ye Qingzhou didn't care who Xing Jiansong's backer was. Since the other party had taken the initiative to provoke a fight, Ye Qingzhou naturally wanted to retaliate in kind.

"Governor Wang, it's not that I didn't wait, but you saw the result. If others are unwilling to give me justice, then I have no choice but to take it myself."

Ye Qingzhou then ignored Wang Anyuan's unpleasant expression and left the principal's office.

Xu Lan, who was waiting outside, saw Ye Qingzhou walk out expressionlessly and asked, "Did you reach an agreement?"

"The talks broke down."

Ye Qingzhou's tone was calm, but Xu Lan still detected a hint of murderous intent in it: "Why? Is the compensation not enough?"

"A top-grade rare treasure, a piece of fine jade, it's a good item, but I don't care for it."

"..."

Xu Lan felt a wave of suffocation: "This is Conglong Jade Marrow! Among top-grade treasures, it's a first-rate gem, and you don't want it?"

"If this had happened before I went to Jilei Mountain, such things would have been somewhat beneficial to me. But I gained so much from this trip to Jilei Mountain that I no longer need anything that can improve my aptitude and innate qualities."

Ye Qingzhou observed the mysteries of the Fire Jujube Tree circulating its vital energy at Jilei Mountain, and comprehended the "Twenty-Four Divine Preservation Methods" and the Mind Network. Now he has mastered the supernatural powers of the Supreme Emperor's Immortality and One Tree Becomes a Forest, and can use the power of nature to transform vital energy into innate Jia Wood Qi.

While the chalcedony is indeed precious, its effects are actually similar to those of innate wood element.

Of course, if one were to kneel and beg for food on Mount Jilei in order to gather enough innate Jia wood energy equivalent to a dose of Conglong jade marrow medicine, one would have to live on the mountaintop for ten years.

Therefore, the value of a piece of Conglong chalcedony is indeed immeasurable and extremely rare.

But Ye Qingzhou himself can transform the innate Jia wood energy, which is plentiful and satisfying. It is estimated that he can achieve the same effect as taking Conglong jade marrow in less than a week. Why should he make himself suffer for such a small amount?

Xu Lan sighed upon hearing this: "Do you know that behind Xing Jiansong stands Zhao Baoming, a master-level martial artist? He is very strong, and it is said that he is about to advance to the Grandmaster realm. Even Zhao Zhiyi, the president of the Hunan Provincial Martial Arts Association, is making great efforts to win him over."

Zhao Baoming is a martial artist from a commoner background. He lost both his parents at a young age and lived with his only relative, his younger sister.

Later, Zhao Baoming's younger sister married Xing Jiansong and gave birth to Xing Yaoming.

With the help of his brother-in-law Zhao Baoming, Xing Jiansong naturally thrived in Xingcheng, and no one dared to mess with him.

He had done similar things more than once before, but this time he had run into Ye Qingzhou, which caused him trouble.

"Grandmaster of the Earthly Fiends, should I be afraid?"

Ye Qingzhou's expression remained calm and composed.

"A joke. In Lingyun Cave Heaven, he even fought against Yingyue, who was at the Martial Saint realm, and witnessed the power of mental imagery. Why would he be afraid of a Grandmaster?"

After school, Ye Qingzhou returned home.

Yingyue, a homebody, shuffled to the entrance in her slippers, then smiled sweetly and said, "Welcome back, my lord."

Looking at the unopened delivery boxes scattered all over the living room floor, Ye Qingzhou was speechless: "What kind of random stuff did you buy this time?"

Yingyue eagerly presented a large box of blueberry syrup, saying, "My lord, this is organic wild blueberry syrup. Drinking it can help fight aging."

"..."

Ye Qingzhou rolled her eyes at Yingyue: "They dare to brag, and you actually believe them? Take it away right now, I don't want to drink a bunch of artificial coloring."

"Ugh, they actually tricked a snake? That's outrageous!"

Yingyue was so angry that she crushed the blueberry syrup in her hand, and was thinking about how to settle accounts with the fraudulent merchant.

Ye Qingzhou shook his head and sighed. This seemingly intelligent and beautiful snake was completely fooled by humans selling goods via live streaming.

"Oh, right, you'll disguise yourself as me to go to school tomorrow."

Yingyue has the ability to transform and is skilled in illusion, so she can completely disguise herself as Ye Qingzhou to provide him with an alibi.

"Huh, there's a murderous aura?"

Yingyue nestled against Ye Qingzhou, sniffed him intently, and then smiled sweetly: "Who's this blind fool who offended you, my lord?"

"They're just two damned bugs; I'm planning to stomp them to death myself."

Ye Qingzhou felt no anger or hatred towards Xing Jiansong, after all, the other party had only hired someone to kill and colluded with Cao Yangxiong to frame him.

This isn't a big mistake. As long as the other party is willing to die obediently, Ye Qingzhou, being a magnanimous person, can forgive and forget. He can even go to the other party's funeral hall to offer incense afterward, and everyone can laugh it off and let bygones be bygones.

"Do you need my help?"

"Need not."

"That's good. The weather is getting colder and colder, and I don't want to travel far."

Yingyue nuzzled Ye Qingzhou's face affectionately and even stuck out her tongue to lick it: "My lord, the innate wood energy in your body is so pure."

Ye Qingzhou glanced at her sideways, her tone somewhat disdainful: "What do you want?"

Yingyue licked her lips, wrapped her arms around Ye Qingzhou's neck, and breathed softly into his ear, "I want to."

That vixen!

They need to be disciplined!

…………

The next day in class, Ye Qingzhou came to Class 7. As soon as he sat down, Huang Liwen came over and said, "Old Ye, you seem a little different today."

"Really? How are they different?"

"You seem a bit flirtatious today."

Meanwhile, the real Ye Qingzhou had already boarded the "subway" to Xingcheng.

Rumble~

Relying on its ability to burrow underground, the Tyrant Black Serpent used the ley lines to move quickly and soon arrived at Star City.

Finding a secluded spot, the Tyrant Black Serpent emerged from the ground and spat Ye Qingzhou out.

Ye Qingzhou said with obvious disgust, "You, from now on you'll have to brush my teeth three times a day. Your mouth stinks, you don't care about hygiene at all."

The Tyrant Black Serpent lowered its head in grievance, then poked its head out and rubbed against Ye Qingzhou, trying to please him in every way.

Since following Ye Qingzhou, it has benefited a lot. Not only does it have cultivation techniques to practice, but it has also received guidance from Yingyue, a senior member of its clan, which has led to a rapid increase in its strength.

Unfortunately, even now, he still cannot perfectly control his own life force and cannot transform into human form like Yingyue.

Ye Qingzhou tapped the Tyrant Black Serpent's head, instructing it to burrow underground and await orders.

He then took out his phone and searched online to find the location of Ruibang Security Services Co., Ltd.

Ten minutes later, at the front desk of Ruibang Security Services Co., Ltd.

The young woman in business attire gave a formulaic smile: "Sorry, our CEO Xing isn't here."

Wearing sunglasses and having completely altered his appearance and physique using the Bone-Changing Technique, Ye Qingzhou showed a regretful expression: "Sigh, I wanted to come and discuss a big business deal with Xing Jiansong, but I didn't expect him to be here. What a pity."

Seeing that Ye Qingzhou was tall, had a calm demeanor, and was dressed in designer clothes, the receptionist actually believed what he said and told him that Xing Jiansong was at Xiangya Hospital.

"Really? Thank you so much."

Ye Qingzhou was overjoyed upon hearing this, and then turned and left amidst the reluctant gaze of the receptionist.

Meanwhile, Xing Jiansong and his wife, oblivious to their impending doom, were still verbally and physically abusing the nurses who came to care for them over a trivial matter: "What kind of work are you doing? Get your hospital director here!"

"Forget it, don't get angry over such a small thing."

Xing Jiansong comforted his wife, Zhao Xiuying.

Zhao Xiuying slapped him across the face: "My son's face is ruined, and you want me to let it go? What about that bastard surnamed Ye? Why isn't he dead yet?"

"Someone in higher up wants to protect him, what can I do?"

At this moment, Xing Jiansong looked aggrieved. He was able to become rich and powerful entirely because of his brother-in-law's help. Therefore, he dared not speak loudly to his wife Zhao Xiuying at home, let alone assert his authority as a husband.

"I don't care, if anyone dares to hurt my son, I'll take their life!"

Zhao Xiuying was furious. Ever since Zhao Baoming became a martial arts master, her personality had become increasingly arrogant, and she clearly had no intention of giving up.

"What a coincidence, I also want to kill you all."

Ye Qingzhou pushed open the door and entered, taking off her sunglasses: "The whole family is here, that's good, saves me the trouble of looking for them everywhere."

"Who are you?"

"Why bother knowing so much when you're about to die?"

Ye Qingzhou pointed his sword three times, and sword energy shot out, piercing through the throats of the three men.

"Ah, you're Ye..."

Xing Jiansong and Zhao Xiuying's words came to an abrupt end, and Xing Yaoming, lying on the hospital bed, also gradually stopped breathing.

Ye Qingzhou confirmed that the three were dead before turning and leaving.
