"The sky of the Ancient Martial Realm is about to change..."

Watching Di Lunhui's embarrassed figure receding into the distance, everyone present muttered this sentence.

In just a few words, the gravity of the situation was made clear.

The sky of the Ancient Martial Realm is indeed about to change!

Everyone's hearts are no longer with the Di Family!

The Di Family has become a rat everyone wants to beat!

Now, everyone's hope in the Ancient Martial Realm is with the Saint, Ye Huan of Huaxia! 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Ah!!!!!!!"

"Ah!!!!!!!"

"Ah!!!!!!!"

Cry after cry of utter despair echoed continuously over the area of the martial arts arena!

The juniors who betrayed the Xiao Family now voluntarily lined up, kneeling on the ground, reaching out in the direction of Di Lunhui's departure as if trying to keep him back.

But they knew, this attempt to keep him was futile; Di Lunhui would not look back!

Thus, they cried out in despair, wailed in regret!

Why despair?

They once believed that even if Ye Huan won the championship, he would never make it past the Gate of Ghosts and would undoubtedly die at the hands of the giants of the Ancient Martial Realm.

The reality was, all that became mere wishful thinking!

The giants of the Ancient Martial Realm descended the mountain to come to the martial arts arena of Wudang Mountain to support Ye Huan, to back him, not to support the two Xiao and Feng families!

They not only recognized Ye Huan's potential, but were also willing to stand against the Di Family for Ye Huan!

"To abandon darkness for light? We really are a complete joke! The entire Ancient Martial Realm standing by Ye Huan, what does this mean? It means the whole Ancient Martial Realm is wise, everyone sees a bright future in Ye Huan!"

"The Di Family is on the decline, and by opposing Ye Huan, they're bound to face destruction sooner or later! With the Di Family doomed, the Xiao and Feng families are sure to weaken rapidly, disappearing in the long river of history, going to Hell with the Di Family!"

"And the Xiao Family, having always been aligned with Ye Huan, has limitless potential for future development!"

"Before, we said that Ye Huan protecting the Xiao Family would put him against the entire Ancient Martial Realm, making it impossible to protect the Xiao Family, but now it seems we were truly short-sighted, underestimating people with dog eyes! The reality is, each family understood that with Ye Huan guarding the Xiao Family, they were eager to please the infinitely potential Ye Huan, willing to abandon plans they had for thirty years and exit the anti-Xiao Family alliance to stand on the opposite side of the anti-Xiao Family alliance!"

"Moreover, to have the giants of the Ancient Martial Realm unanimously extending favor, Ye Huan's potential must be unimaginably strong, and after becoming the new king of the Ancient Martial Realm in the future, surely he will have the power to counter the entire Ancient Martial Realm single-handedly, if not defeat it!"

"The Xiao Family has gained Ye Huan's friendship, with such a bright future, why did I betray the Xiao Family!!"

"I regret it, I resent it, I almost want to slap myself hard, ah!!!"

The people who betrayed the Xiao Family were previously hoping for Ye Huan to be killed by the giants of the Ancient Martial Realm and Di Lunhui, so their betrayal of the Xiao Family wouldn't seem foolish.

As a result, once again, reality slapped them hard, swelling their faces!

The giants of the Ancient Martial Realm have evidently become faithful followers of Ye Huan!

Di Lunhui was defeated and fled miserably under the collective efforts of these giants!

This caused them to wake up completely, realizing that no matter how they tried to console themselves, it was all useless.

Underestimating Ye Huan, leading to betrayal of the Xiao Family, was undoubtedly foolish!

The traitor juniors cried out loud, cried in utter despair, regretting to their core!

Some among them, after crying for a while, wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes, and shamelessly approached Xiao Zhan, kneeling down with a "thud" and said with a sob: "Patriarch, please, let us return to the Xiao Family, we know we were wrong!"

Xiao Zhan sighed; these juniors grew up under his watch, and honestly, seeing them in such a state, he felt a bit hesitant.

But he didn't agree easily. Instead, he turned his head, bit his lip, and asked Ye Huan: "Young Master Ye, I have a soft heart and am indecisive. Should I let them return to the Xiao Family?"

Ye Huan did not express his stance directly but said: "They can betray the Xiao Family for the Xiao Family today; tomorrow they can betray or forsake the Xiao Family for other benefits or matters. Moreover, when the Xiao Family was in decline, they left, and now that it's improving, they come back. What would the juniors who have remained with the Xiao Family through thick and thin think? Is it fair to them?"

Upon hearing this, the hesitation on Xiao Zhan's face vanished instantly, his eyes grew firm: "I understand now!"

After speaking, he turned back, placed his hands behind him, and kicked the traitor in front of him, and said solemnly: "I declare, from now on, all those who betrayed the Xiao Family are forbidden from bearing the 'Xiao' surname, and may not return to the Xiao Family. You have nothing to do with the Xiao Family anymore!"

With these words, the traitors fell unconscious to the ground, faces full of despair.

Ye Huan nodded silently, feeling that Xiao Zhan, as the Patriarch, really had a strong presence.

He sighed in his heart for a moment, then looked at the "Sleeping Beauty" beside him with exasperation and asked, "Sister, can you let go of me now?"

"I kindly protected you, and you're still reluctant?" The woman arched her eyebrows and said displeasedly, then let go of Ye Huan's arm.

Ye Huan was full of frustration, from when he took a defensive stance, preparing to fight Di Lunhui, this woman had dominantly grabbed his arm, and later she didn't let go.

Seeing Di Lunhui's punch approach earlier, his heart surged with overwhelming battle intent, planning to fight it out!

Even if it meant using Heaven Opening and Eight Gates Escape Armor, he wouldn't hesitate.

But helplessly, this woman insisted on pulling Brother Huan behind her for protection, unwilling to let go.

Even during her battle with Di Lunhui, she held onto Brother Huan with one hand. Brother Huan couldn't break free; otherwise, it might distract her and put her at a disadvantage.

"I was afraid you'd die at the old man's hands, leaving me unable to ask about the many doubts in my heart, so I protected you." The woman's eyes were cold: "With only Half-step Divine King's strength, you dare to challenge an Extreme Divine King, should I call you stupid or foolish?"

Ye Huan shrugged and said, "I'm neither stupid nor foolish; I know that only by fighting such strong opponents can I achieve greater improvement."

"Your foundation in Ancient Martial Arts is very solid, reaching... no, even slightly beyond the limits a human body can achieve, is it because you often fight opponents stronger than you?"

"Partly, yes."

Ye Huan did not deny it. From the first moment he set foot in the Western Dark World, he basically faced those stronger than him. However, he never feared it, and in life-and-death trials over and over, he gained much greater strength by surpassing others.

"I admire your courage, but you are indeed foolish. Your strength in Ancient Martial Arts is only at Half-step Divine King level, worlds apart from an Extreme Divine King. No matter how you look at it, you can't beat the old man."

"Being unable to win doesn't mean you should give up. Young people like us should have an attitude of never admitting defeat. Besides, how would you know whether a miracle would happen unless you try, right?"

Ye Huan smiled faintly, and his words left the woman silent for a second. Then she raised a thumbs-up and agreed: "You're right, without trying, a miracle has no chance of happening."

As soon as she finished speaking, suddenly her face turned pale, her legs visibly weakened, and she fell to the ground.

Ye Huan reacted quickly, his face changed, and he promptly reached out to support her waist, then signaled Xiao Qingming to step forward and assist her.
