Opening: Me, I become stronger when I am beaten!

Seeing the city defense army retreating, the crowd did not take advantage of the victory to pursue.

They knew that this was only the first round of attack, and Zhao Tianhong did not use all his strength.

If the city defense army is fully equipped, or even mobilized, they will only have a dead end.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that this first round was a test. Maybe Zhao Tianhong just wanted to see the background of the Ye family, and what cards he hadn't used.

Regarding these, several elders of the Ye family who were present also knew it well, but no one said it out.

Now Ye family has a traitor like the Second Elder. Although he has been killed, everyone still feels a little bit shaken in their hearts.

This is very unfavorable to the current Ye family.

The war is imminent, and the most taboo thing is the floating of people's hearts.

At this time, the victory in the first battle was a boost to the hearts of everyone in the Ye family, and made the minds of many disciples stabilize.

Without saying much, Ye Chen followed everyone back to Ye's house.

Everyone came to the meeting hall in unison.

The situation at this time is still urgent, and the Ye family's deadlock must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise the Ye family will be destroyed sooner or later.

However, when everyone sat together, no one said a word.

"What? Since you're here, don't you have anything to say?" Ye Peng asked.

Although the current situation is grim, he still has a faint smile on his face, as if he doesn't care about winning or losing.

Everyone looked at each other, looked at each other in blank dismay, and sighed again, but no one could speak.

If there is a way, they will not sit together and worry like they are now.

It is true that there is no solution. A large number of city defense troops are gathering outside, eyeing them, and they can only use the family's defensive formation to temporarily hold the Ye family's defense line.

And the secret of the formation seems to have been told to Zhao Tianhong by the second elder, and the formation is not safe now.

"Since you all have nothing to do, then I have a plan to defeat the enemy." Ye Chen said suddenly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Ye Chen one after another, wondering what solution he had come up with.

However, everyone did not hold out too much hope, and only hoped that this method would be more reliable.

"If I go deep alone, I can persuade Zhao Tianhong to retreat." Ye Chen said clearly.

After the words fell, everyone's expressions froze again.

"What are you kidding?"

"Zhao Tianhong is a Martial Ancestor level powerhouse, how can you be qualified to negotiate with him after you go? This is seeking skin from a tiger!"

"It's just courting death!"

Everyone shook their heads in denial, expressing that it would not work.

This strategy sounds unreliable. If Ye Chen really went, Zhao Tianhong might not even see him, so he would be stopped by several lieutenants of his subordinates and killed on the spot.

After all, they are veteran martial artists in the late stage, and their strength is only tyrannical, which is obvious to all.

"Then what can you do? If you don't make a choice, the only thing waiting for us is death, sooner or later, why don't I go bravely and give it a try?" Ye Chen asked back.

As soon as these words came out, everyone didn't know what to say.

Although this method might not work at first glance, what he said actually made some sense.

Sooner or later, you will die, it is better to give it a go, anyway, there is nothing to lose.

Everyone was silent for a moment, but the Great Elder said earnestly: "The Ye family still has some secret methods that have been passed down to this day. If it is really time for life and death, we old guys will hug you guys even if we are desperate. The younger generation, after all, you are the future hope of the Ye family!"

The other elders were silent, as if expressing their acquiescence.

However, Ye Chen didn't fully believe it.

Perhaps the Ye family has these secret methods, but no one has used them for too many years, and many of them have been incomplete so far, so it is still a matter of debate whether they can be used.

And he is really somewhat sure that he can handle Zhao Tianhong.

"Don't worry, everyone. If I'm not sure, I won't take risks." Ye Chen said.

With that said, he walked out of the conference hall.

"This"

Many elders present looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to do.

"Let him go. You have to trust him. Since he can achieve what he is today, there are naturally some advantages in him." Ye Peng said lightly.

He was also thinking in his heart, he watched Ye Chen grow up, but today, he couldn't understand Ye Chen more and more.

Not long after, Ye Chen was already on the road.

As soon as he stepped out of the door of Ye's house, he was already being watched.

Although the city defense army retreated for the time being, there were still people watching every move here and reporting news at any time.

Ye Chen didn't care about these, and went straight to the City Lord's Mansion.

Seeing this scene, many soldiers looked at him with strange expressions. If they dare to visit the City Lord's Mansion at this time, they are definitely courting death.

"No matter what, if he walks out of the City Lord's Mansion alive today, he will be famous in Zuoyi City." A soldier said.

The guards at the door did not block the way, but two lieutenants stopped in front of Ye Chen.

"stop!"

"You villain, we didn't go to destroy your Ye family, you dare to come to the door now, you are looking for death!"

The two lieutenants shouted coldly.

"I'm here to find Zhao Tianhong, what are you two!" Ye Chen said coldly.

"shut up!"

The two lieutenants attacked almost at the same time. After all, Ye Chen was too presumptuous, and he directly called the city lord by his name.

Ye Chen raised his palms, and with a burst of force, he instantly knocked back the two lieutenants, but he didn't seem to use his full strength.

Before the two had time to be surprised, a voice came from inside.

"Let him in."

Ye Chen walked in slowly without looking at the two of them.

At this time, Zhao Tianhong was sitting at the head of the hall, with a stern expression on his face.

"City Master Zhao, how about I make a bet with you?"

Ye Chen said: "If I can beat you within ten strokes, you will retreat, and if I lose, you will hand over the formula of the best marrow washing liquid."

Hearing this, Zhao Tianhong's eyes lit up immediately, the formula of marrow washing liquid is a good thing, enough to make his heart move.

However, his face soon turned cold, and he was overwhelmed by the aura of a strong man.

"What qualifications do you have to negotiate terms with me? Hand over the formula and spare you!"

Ye Chen was taken aback, he still underestimated Zhao Tianhong's shamelessness.

Anyway, he is also the lord of a city, so it is very rare in the whole world to be so unreasonable.

Faced with this situation, he really had nothing to do, it was him who was careless.

"Unexpectedly, Zhao Tianhong, you are such a brazen person!" Ye Chen immediately cursed.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Zhao Tianhong was furious.

Raising his hand, he waved a palm, and came towards Ye Chen. With Ye Chen as the center, the space within one foot around him seemed to be squeezed and distorted.
