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

When he left the City Lord's Mansion, Ye Chen was a little bit worried whether these generals and soldiers would attack him suddenly.

However, these people were very self-aware and did not stop them at all, not even saying a word.

Instead, he made way for him.

When he was fighting Zhao Tianhong just now, he had already heard a series of system prompts in his mind, and now he has been promoted to the third level of martial arts.

Fighting against Wuzong-level powerhouses is indeed a faster way to gain energy, but this time it is also because of the previous accumulation.

If they really confront each other face to face, even if they are hanged and beaten until their physical strength is exhausted, they may not be able to break through.

Now that he has been promoted to the third level of martial arts, the energy bar has risen to 5000 points, and the upgrade can be said to be getting slower and slower.

And with the improvement of the realm, the energy value obtained each time will also be adjusted according to the realm of the two sides. The adjustment of the value change is relative to the strength of the two sides. It is probably that the strong is strong, and the weak is weak.

Now if he absorbs a wave of martial arts attacks, he might not get much energy.

But there are not many strong men like Zhao Tianhong, it can be said that there are not many in the entire Zuoyi City.

And they are all very low-key ones, and they generally don't make easy moves.

Having said that, if he was really besieged and beaten by tens of thousands of people just now, and vowed to defend the city lord to the death, Ye Chen really felt a little tricky.

Fortunately, it's out now.

Moreover, the news of Zhao Tianhong's death is estimated to spread throughout Zuoyi City in a short time.

Walking on the road, Ye Chen's injuries had almost recovered. When he arrived at Ye's house, he was almost intact except for the messy clothes on his body.

Seeing him come back at this time, the two disciples guarding the gate were suddenly surprised and a little horrified.

"Third son, you are back."

Ye Chen just nodded slightly, without any expression fluctuations on his face, like a calm lake.

A disciple quickly ran in, shouting: "The third son is back!"

Many people rushed over when they heard the movement, and almost surrounded Ye Chen for a while.

After all, in everyone's eyes, going to visit Zhao Tianhong alone when the two sides are fighting each other is like courting death.

And now it's come back intact, it's simply impossible.

Several elders also greeted them, and Ye Peng walked slowly behind. He was also very curious about how Ye Chen came back so quickly.

It's just unbelievable.

However, Ye Chen had done many incredible things before, and he was not too surprised.

"Third Young Master, it's great that you came back safe and sound."

The Great Elder smiled politely.

Several other people also greeted with a few pleasantries.

They still don't know the situation of the City Lord's Mansion.

Since the war with Zhao Tianhong's forces, the Ye family has recalled all the disciples, returned to the family residence, and are not allowed to go out at will.

At this time, the news is even more blocked, not only for safety reasons, but also for fear that someone will take the opportunity to escape, or bring out some news to join the enemy.

Moreover, there are people stationed around the Ye family, watching every move of the Ye family at all times. If someone goes out quietly, they will be caught and tortured for interrogation soon.

"Zhao Tianhong is dead."

Ye Chen revealed the news lightly.

"what?"

Several elders looked at each other in blank dismay, and the other disciples were also shocked.

This news is really exciting, Zhao Tianhong is a veritable martial arts powerhouse, how could he just die, and now that he is at the peak of his strength, his lifespan will not be exhausted so quickly.

If it is said that he was assassinated by someone, it is even more unbelievable. With Zhao Tianhong's martial arts, it is impossible to succeed.

So soon someone guessed that Ye Chen had used poison, and a trace of worry appeared on his face.

Using hidden weapons, or using poison, these are all things that people in the magic sect do, and the famous and decent people will never do such things.

If it is discovered, the consequences will naturally be very serious.

It will definitely be attacked by groups.

"You killed Zhao Tianhong?" The Great Elder didn't know what to say anymore, so he repeated his confirmation again.

Ye Chen nodded vigorously, "Yes, I killed it myself."

This made all the elders look at each other in blank dismay, not knowing whether it was happiness or worry.

However, with Zhao Tianhong's trace, the life and death crisis of the Ye family can be regarded as lifted. Anyway, this is a good thing.

Ye Chen didn't continue to talk to them, there was still an important thing waiting for him to do.

That was at the city lord's mansion. Once Zhao Tianhong died, the group of dragons now has no leader. It is difficult for his lieutenants to carry the banner, so they are temporarily in chaos.

He turned his head to look at a group of Ye family disciples, and said, "Now everyone, come with me, and we will take over Zuoyi City."

At this time, in the minds of the disciples of the Ye family, Ye Chen's status even vaguely overshadowed the Patriarch Ye Peng, and everyone was naturally excited and went to the City Lord's Mansion together.

When everyone walked in, they saw chaos in the city lord's mansion. Someone had already seized the warehouse and wanted to grab some belongings and escape.

As for this kind of person, Ye Chen didn't say much, only one word, kill.

Until they came to the dojo, at this time they called all the defenders here.

"Now, I want to take over Zuoyi City, who is for and who is against?"

Ye Chen glanced at everyone present.

After the words fell, the disciples of the Ye family who were present felt quite airy.

However, many soldiers and their generals present were deadlocked in place without speaking, and they were naturally more frightened.

After a while, everyone said in unison: "See City Lord Ye."

At the same time, on the other side, several major families have sent people to Yunyi City to report the news, and deliberately conveyed the news to Sun Xuan.

At this time, sitting on a rocking chair in the attic, Sun Xuan immediately dropped the glass.

"What? This little bastard Ye Chen is not only fine, but also replaced Zhao Tianhong and took over Zuoyi City? It's really unreasonable!"

Sun Xuan had already heard the news, since Zhao Tianhong had already personally dealt with the Ye family, he could just watch the fun.

When the Ye family really fell, he went to ask for someone. Presumably at that time, Zhao Tianhong couldn't not give him face, so he would naturally hand over Ye Chen and let him deal with it.

But now it seemed that everything was in vain, and he couldn't help cursing in anger.

"Zhao Tianhong is such a waste that even a junior can't deal with it. He has really cultivated like a pig for the rest of his life!"

After a while, he gave instructions to his disciples.

"Tell me what I mean, in the name of the Alchemist Association, no one is allowed to provide the Ye family with pills and medicinal materials, otherwise it will be against me, Sun Xuan!"
