"..."

Feng Wuhen's words caused a brief silence in the martial arts arena.

Then, the faces of Xiao Zhan and the young ladies of the Xiao family turned pale again!

The spectators' faces also changed in unison.

"Damn, I really forgot about this. Ye Huan winning the championship was just the first hurdle. The next hurdle is far scarier than the first one!"

"Exactly, the difficulty of this hurdle is almost like taking a stroll through Hell's gate!"

"Ye Huan disrupted the carefully crafted plan of the anti-Xiao family alliance. Those giants from the Ancient Martial Realm, who are alliance members, will certainly not let him off easily!"

"This is tricky now; Ye Huan's Ancient Martial Arts prowess is strong, but if the giants, upon the call of the Xiao and Feng families, attack Ye Huan with thunderous means, Ye Huan will quickly fall into a situation where he cannot defend against such overwhelming odds, facing a life-and-death crisis!"

The spectators assessed the situation with stiff expressions, their palms sweaty for Ye Huan once more.

Now, Ye Huan has two choices before him.

First, retreat disgracefully, giving up the champion's spot, leave Wudang Mountain to avoid annihilation.

Second, confront the Xiao and Feng families to the end!

This choice will lead to extremely dire consequences.

The giants behind the Xiao and Feng families are all well-known in the Ancient Martial Realm, powerful and of high status.

Ye Huan's chance of winning against them is probably less than ten percent.

But if he chooses to fight against them to the end, Ye Huan might have a tiny chance of creating a miracle...

And once this miracle happens, he will truly become the new king of the Ancient Martial Realm!

Yet, this chance is so low it can be completely ignored.

Ye Huan may still have some powerful tricks up his sleeve, but against the giants' overwhelming numbers strategy, the opportunities to use those tricks are likely very limited!

His chances of winning are really very small!

The spectators were extremely solemn, their thoughts completely the same, but while not optimistic about Ye Huan, they also began to hope...

Hope that Ye Huan can once again beat the odds and defeat the giants of the Ancient Martial Realm, thus becoming the new king of Huaxia's Ancient Martial Realm!

They wanted to witness this event firsthand, even if the chances of it happening are almost none.

The young traitors of the Xiao family are not foolish; they understood the situation and began to hope too...

However, what they hope for is entirely different from the spectators!

They hope for the giants, under the call of the Xiao and Feng families, to strike and severely injure or even kill Ye Huan before their eyes!

Because as long as Ye Huan is dead, the Xiao family is finished!

With the Xiao family finished, their decision to betray the Xiao family will still be seen as very wise!

And Ye Huan, under the siege of giants, finds it almost impossible not to die!

Thinking of this, the traitors of the Xiao family stopped slapping their own faces, their regret vanished, replaced by extremely splendid expressions!

Xiao Mingxuan and Feng Hao shared the same reaction as them, their expressions equally splendid!

Yes, Ye Huan won, leading the Xiao family to the championship, but so what?

Don't forget, the leaders of the top families of the Ancient Martial Realm are all present, supporting the Xiao and Feng families!

"Ye Huan, you're finished, ha ha!" Xiao Mingxuan gloated, Ye Huan had ruined him today, he hated Ye Huan so much that his teeth itched; now just imagining Ye Huan being killed brought him great joy, feeling he had vented his anger!

"Whether I'm finished or not, it's none of your business, stop worrying about things you shouldn't." Ye Huan coldly finished speaking, threw a few glances to signal the young ladies of the Xiao family on him to get up, then stood up, dusted his hands, and looked at the distant Feng family's Patriarch, his tone shifting as he coldly asked: "The competition is over, when will the herbs be selected—"

Feng Wuhen was taken aback, eyes showing murderous intent: "What are you trying to do?"

"Trying to do what? Of course, to claim the reward. Feng Patriarch, isn't the championship reward from the Ancient Martial competition the right to choose ten herbs from the Feng family's treasury? You're really forgetful..."

"Damn! You brat really have a way out but won't take it, rushing to Hell! Still want herbs? Come on, try it, let's see if you can even take one from the Feng family's treasury!"

Before Ye Huan could finish, Feng Wuhen exploded in anger, cursing furiously!

He felt Ye Huan really lacked awareness! 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

So many big shots are backing the Xiao and Feng families, Ye Huan doesn't step back, instead daring to "push his luck"?

Ye Huan raised an eyebrow, "What, can't accept losing, want to cheat?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Wuhen became even more furious and flustered.

Before the Ancient Martial competition began, the Xiao and Feng families had already agreed that the Feng family would let the Xiao family win the championship, provided that Feng Hao would act as an external ally to win the championship together with the Xiao family, and after winning, the right to select herbs would also be given to Feng Hao.

The treasury of the Feng family is full of treasures, they certainly won't foolishly open it to outsiders.

Over thousands of years, the Feng family set the right to select ten herbs from their treasury as the championship reward because the championship has always been won by the Feng family.

Not only did the benefits stay within the family, helping their talented youth grow faster, but it also earned the Feng family a generous reputation, a triple win.

Now, Ye Huan, this outsider...no, this enemey of the Feng family wants to access the treasury for herbs, it's absolutely impossible, an unallowable event!

The Feng family is not an ATM!

"Ye Huan, I don't want to waste words with you! Give up the championship and stop protecting the Xiao family, get out of Wudang Mountain! Otherwise, you'll be truly standing against the entire Ancient Martial Realm of Huaxia, and then it'll be hard for you to even leave!" Feng Wuhen's face twisted, issuing a final ultimatum to Ye Huan!

"Looks like you're prepared to cheat to the end?"

Ye Huan hands in pockets, sneered: "I'll see what you can do to me today."

"Today, I want you dead!"

Suddenly, a sharp shout came from the sky above!

Everyone in the martial arts arena looked up, and upon seeing a person dressed in a robe, tall and straight, with snow-white beard, full of fury and eyes brimming with killing intent approaching in the air, their faces drastically changed!

In the Ancient Martial Realm of Huaxia, no one doesn't recognize this old man!

Sect Leader of Dragon Gate, Patriarch of Di Family—Di Lunhui!
