Sure enough, after the Di Family widely announced the incident of Ye Huan's surprise attack on Di Qiankun in the Ancient Martial Realm and called on the Ancient Martial Realm to unite against Ye Huan, the course of events unfolded exactly as Ye Huan had expected.

The major families were all in an uproar, not expecting Ye Huan to cause such a stir so soon after the Ma Family's celebration feast!

To have knocked one of the Dragon Gate's Twelve Dragon Gods, Qiankun Dragon God, into a vegetative state, Ye Huan truly fears neither heaven nor earth!

Although each Ancient Martial Clan thought Ye Huan's actions were indeed domineering and unreasonable, not a single clan dared to side with the Di Family.

Are you kidding? They're too busy trying to curry favor with Ye Huan; how could they possibly denounce him?

Half an hour later, as the shock turned to calmness in the Ancient Martial Realm, another uproar ensued!

The reason was that the Li Family Patriarch issued a notice to the entire Ancient Martial Realm:

"It was during Ye Huan's battle with a certain strong figure that Di Qiankun and Li Yesheng attempted to catch Ye Huan off guard and ambush him, resulting in Ye Huan's counterattack that left one as a vegetable and the other dead!"

"Li Yesheng's actions were so heinous, they were appalling! The Li Family is deeply angered by this, and has permanently removed him from the Li Family genealogy! Li Yesheng, this wicked being, has absolutely no relation to my Li Family! At the same time, the Li Family expresses its apologies to Lord Ye Huan to the entire Ancient Martial Realm!"

"Finally, I strongly condemn the Di Family for their disgraceful behavior!"

This message was like a meteor crashing into the sea, stirring up massive waves in the Ancient Martial Realm!

Oh my, the truth of the matter is that Di Qiankun and Li Yesheng failed their assassination attempt and were beaten like dead dogs?

Come on, the Di Family cut off the beginning and end and took things out of context, clearly trying to use the major families of the Ancient Martial Realm as tools!

Having learned the truth, the major Ancient Martial Clans were full of anger, and they all wanted to please Ye Huan, so they took this opportunity to voice support for Ye Huan and heavily criticize the Di Family's disgraceful conduct!

The major families issued statement after statement in support of Ye Huan, denouncing the shamelessness of the Di Family!

In the past, they would never have dared to oppose the Di Family.

Even if the Di Family was wrong, they would forcefully agree with them, claiming the Di Family was right.

Now it's different.

Anyone with insight can see that Huaxia's Ancient Martial Realm is about to undergo a change!

The future leader of the Ancient Martial Realm is Huaxia's Saint and the Dragon Gate's young Sect Leader—Ye Huan!

The Di Family is no longer capable!

Among the young male descendants of the Di Family, only Di Qiankun was of any repute, and now he's in a vegetative state. In the future, when Ye Huan truly takes over the Dragon Gate, the Di Family is bound to decline!

Everyone seized this opportunity to choose sides, abandoning the Di Family for the more promising Ye Huan!

In no time, the Di Family became the target of universal condemnation in the Ancient Martial Realm, utterly isolated!

"Clang!"

Realizing that events have developed completely contrary to his expectations.

In the Dragon Gate's Di Family side hall, Di Lunhui, in a fit of rage, smashed an antique porcelain vase into pieces!

"Patriarch, the last time we announced Ye Huan's identity… did we end up harming ourselves?" Beside him, Di Yuntian looked very awkward.

Di Lunhui glared furiously at Di Yuntian, his expression utterly awkward!

His eyes were furious, his arm veins bulging.

He didn't want to admit it, but he had to recognize that the last time they deliberately revealed Ye Huan's identity at Ma Family's celebration feast, hoping to create trouble for the low-key Ye Huan, had indeed backfired!

If not for that incident, few in the Ancient Martial Realm would know Ye Huan's identity, and their allegiance would remain with the Di Family, supporting their cause!

Now things are different; the entire Ancient Martial Realm knows Ye Huan's identity, sees his potential future!

The Di Family might be strong, but compared to the title of Huaxia Saint, it's vastly inferior!

No one pays heed to the Di Family now!

But there's no point in getting angry, since it's all self-inflicted.

Di Lunhui, having lived over a hundred years, experienced for the first time the feeling of anger with nowhere to direct it, having to swallow the indignation into his heart.

His teeth were almost ground away, and after a good while, he took several deep breaths to suppress his fury, then turned to the silent tea-drinking Di Asura, who hadn't expressed any opinion, "Asura, you could tell from early on that no one would heed our call?"

Di Asura didn't deny it, saying flatly, "Father, it was an obvious situation, only you couldn't think clearly in the heat of passion, so I couldn't persuade you then either."

"Alas."

Di Lunhui sighed heavily, gesturing to other Di Family disciples in the hall, "Meeting adjourned!"

Except for Di Asura and Di Yuntian, the rest of the Di Family disciples, upon receiving the order, stood up in a mix of rage and unwillingness, leaving the side hall lobby.

Their usual arrogance was completely subdued this time by frustration, forcing them to lower their heads.

An hour ago, they were spirited, boasting they would use the Di Family's influence to rally the Ancient Martial Realm against Ye Huan, to teach Ye Huan a lesson.

Now, they only felt like absurd jesters!

Not a single person from the Ancient Martial Realm responded to the Di Family's call for action; instead, they all criticized the Di Family in their eagerness to please Ye Huan!

This indicates that the prestige of "Huaxia Saint" and "Dragon Gate's young Sect Leader" far exceeds that of "Di Family"!

From the Li Family's genius being killed by Ye Huan, losing his life, yet the Li Family Patriarch still siding with Ye Huan, criticizing the Di Family, this point is evident!

The entire Huaxia Ancient Martial Realm believes Ye Huan holds infinite promise for the future, certain that the Di Family will inevitably weaken!

Thinking of this, the Di Family disciples were even more outraged, nearly bursting into tears with a loud "waaah.".

...

"What now?" Once the younger members of the Di Family had all departed, Di Lunhui steadied his emotions, forcing himself to calm down, then with a grim face, consulted with Di Yuntian and Di Asura on strategy.

"I believe we shouldn't concern ourselves with Ye Huan; the 'Great Calamity' is already approaching inevitably. Ye Huan only has a year left to grow."

"Though Ye Huan is the only one in the world today capable of surpassing the level of Extreme Divine King, his time is too short! Within a year, I predict that even if he performs miracles, he can at most become a mid-level Divine King! Ye Huan lacks the time to successfully advance to that elusive level and take on the responsibility of suppressing the 'Great Calamity'!"

"Moreover, as the 'Savior,' he conspires with the 'Destroyer,' betraying his duty and faith, bound to face retribution eventually!"

Di Asura, expressionless, said coldly, "So, we just need to proceed at our own pace, continuing with the experiment."
