In the blink of an eye, Tuoba Ye was already four years old. They didn't celebrate on a large scale, but only celebrated a little.
At night, Tuoba Wei and Tuoba Zhong secretly arrived at Treasure Trove Pavilion and informed Tuoba Ye of a major matter.
"Xiao Ye, the Du family seems to be unable to sit still and urged us to make a move on Tuoba Jie. They asked us to do something to you and your son again, but I rejected them. From the looks of it, the higher-ups of the Du family probably won't continue to believe me.”Tuoba Wei said.
"If the Du family wants to make a move, let them!”Tuoba Ye was very excited.
During this period of cultivation, although his cultivation did not increase, his strength had increased by a lot. It had reached 75,000 pounds, which was definitely enough to defeat experts below the Qi Cultivation Realm.
The Du Clan wasn't weak, but their strongest expert wasn't even as strong as Tuoba Xiong, so they weren't much of a threat to Tuoba Ye.
"Xiao Ye, you have to be careful of the Qian family and the Yuwen family. The Qian Clan's business had been robbed by Treasure Trove Pavilion, so they definitely wouldn't sit idly by. As for the Yuwen family, they were the most ambitious and powerful, so they weren't easy to deal with. I don't know what the imperial family's goal is for betrothing Princess Ziyu to you, but we have to be wary.”Tuoba Wei reminded.
"Second Grandpa, Third Grandpa, don't worry. I didn't waste my time. Let them all come!”Tuoba Ye's fighting spirit was high.
With his strength, even if he was exposed, it would not matter.
Previously, he would still have some misgivings, but now, he had no misgivings.
As long as he had stronger strength, he did not need to be afraid of a strong opponent.
"Xiao Ye, what level of strength have you reached? Not long ago, the bandits of the Heavenly South Mountain Range were wiped out. Was it you?”Tuoba Zhong asked.
"My strength is comparable to Grandpa's. There are few who can match me in the War Country. The bandits of the Heavenly South Mountain Range were exterminated by me and the Eight Dragon Guards. This matter is a secret, so it's fine for you to keep it to yourselves. If it were to be leaked, it's very likely that it would bring disaster to our Tuoba Clan. Some time ago, Treasure Trove Pavilion had assassins infiltrate twice, but I dealt with them both times.”
He did not hide the truth from Tuoba Wei and Tuoba Zhong. They knew some details and it would be even worse if news of it got out.
"Xiao Ye, the bandits of the Heavenly South Mountain Range have been exterminated. What's there to be afraid of?”Tuoba Zhong said.
"You must remember not to leak this information because it concerns self-cultivators, and demonic self-cultivators at that. If we provoke them, our Tuoba family will be destroyed in an instant.”Tuoba Ye repeatedly warned.
He made things clear to prevent Tuoba Wei and Tuoba Zhong from spilling the beans.
"It's related to Xiuzhenists.”Tuoba Wei said immediately.
In the eyes of these people, self-cultivators were like immortals who could easily kill an army of 100,000 or a million.
When Tuoba Wei and Tuoba Zhong left, they were feeling rather emotional.
Without Tuoba Xiong, the Tuoba Family had lost their backbone. Tuoba Wei and Tuoba Zhong were still lacking in terms of strength and were unable to control the situation.
Now that the Tuoba family had produced a peerless genius who possessed the strength of the older generation at a young age, those forces that wanted to cause trouble for the Tuoba family would probably suffer greatly.
Furthermore, Tuoba Wei and Tuoba Zhong knew very well that a peerless genius like Tuoba Ye would not be limited to the Warring States Period, let alone the Tuoba Family.
In the future, if Tuoba Ye were to join a cultivation sect, Tuoba Wei would have a chance of becoming the clan head.
Tuoba Wei's original intention was to become the family head of a powerful family clan. If the Tuoba Family were to fall apart, even if he were to take over the position of family head, he would still be inferior to the other four families. This was something that he did not wish to see.
Recently, Tuoba Ye had started to break through his bottleneck again. He was about to become a Six Star Innate Martial God.
Ever since Lord Rabbit helped him cleanse his marrow and fur, his cultivation speed had increased greatly. Even though ninety percent of the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi was still absorbed by the God Punishment Jade Talisman and the divine root, his cultivation had advanced much faster.
The increase in his cultivation level made him full of confidence.
Now, Treasure Trove Pavilion and Drunken Immortal Pavilion were both on the right track, allowing him to cultivate in peace.
"Young Master, bad news! There were many people outside, saying that they wanted to have a family competition.”Xia Mei rushed in.
Xia Mei and Xia Ju had been in Treasure Trove Pavilion for almost a year, and their cultivation had advanced rapidly. They were now five-star Hou Tian martial artists.
"Don't panic. Let's go out and take a look.”"Zhan Meng, the Eight Dragon Guards, Lord Rabbit, follow me out." Tuoba Ye smiled.”
He didn't let the White Jade Lion Dragon follow him because it had to guard the backyard.
The four White Jade Lion Dragons were very powerful, and they could still protect the backyard.
"Little hubby, don't you need us to go out and help?"”
The Shadow Flower Concubine and the twelve members of the Wind Kill Team were all cultivating in the training field in the backyard. The matters of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant were managed by someone else. They had arranged for a powerful slave to manage it. They would not show themselves and would only interact with that slave.
"You guys continue to cultivate. Your skill is assassination, so it's not appropriate for you to appear in front of everyone.”Tuoba Ye said in a deep voice.
Outside Treasure Trove Pavilion, tens of thousands of people had gathered.
The higher-ups of the Yuwen family, the Du family, and the Qian family all came to Treasure Trove Pavilion to invite the Tuoba family to participate in the competition.
Among the five great clans of the Warring States Period, the royal clan was the supreme one. The other four clans would often hold a ranking competition. It was supposed to be held once every ten years, but if the three great clans agreed, then the ranking competition could be held at any time.
The Du family had infiltrated the Tuoba family, but Tuoba Wei had delayed it time and time again, to no avail. The assassins hired by the Qian Family to deal with Xia Yuxuan had failed repeatedly. Those assassins did not dare to accept the mission. They raised the bounty to three million gold coins, but no one was willing to accept the mission.
The two families hit it off immediately. They contacted the Yuwen family and soon reached an agreement to hold the ranking competition of the four families.
Originally, among the five great families, the Imperial Family was ranked first and the Tuoba Family was ranked second. They were the strongest among the four great families. When Tuoba Xiong was still around, the other three great clans feared the ranking of the four great clans the most.
Now that they had initiated the ranking competition, it was obvious that they were taking advantage of Tuoba Xiong's disappearance to suppress the Tuoba family.
This matter had yet to begin, but the other three families had already caused a commotion and spread the news.
The purpose of the Yuwen family, Qian family, and Du family was self-evident. They wanted to embarrass the Tuoba family.
"Xia Yuxuan, you are now the person in charge of the Tuoba family. Will the Tuoba family participate in the ranking competition?”Du Yusheng asked.
While Xia Yuxuan was hesitating, Tuoba Ye's voice rang in her ears.
"Since you're so scheming to get a ranking, wouldn't we be looked down upon by you if our Tuoba family doesn't participate?" she said with a smile. When was the ranking competition? Our Tuoba family will definitely participate."
Seeing Xia Yuxuan's magnanimity, the people around them all praised her.
"Xia Yuxuan is really not bad. Tuoba Xiong disappeared, Tuoba Jie went to the southern border, and she was chased out of the Tuoba family with her youngest son.”
"Treasure Trove Pavilion's current reputation is all thanks to Xia Yuxuan. If it wasn't for her, we definitely wouldn't have surpassed Treasure Trove Pavilion.”
……
The higher-ups of the three major families were all stunned. They had originally wanted to see a joke, but they really did not expect Xia Yuxuan to agree so easily.
The three families 'higher-ups were a little bored.
"Three days later, the ranking competition of the four great families will officially begin. I hope that the people of the Tuoba family will participate on time.”Qian Duoduo said.
"Don't worry. The experts of our Tuoba family will arrive in three days.”Xia Yuxuan smiled.
The higher-ups of the three major families had ugly expressions on their faces as they quickly left. Xia Yuxuan won the applause.
"Xia Yuxuan, a heroine!"
"Xia Yuxuan, you're not inferior to a man!”
……
"Everyone, come and watch the ranking of the four great clans. Remember to support our Tuoba Clan!”Xia Yuxuan shouted.
"Good!"
Tuoba Ye did not show himself. He was very happy to see his mother so popular.
However, the ranking competition between the four great clans was no small matter. Tuoba Wei and the others had to participate in it.
They had achieved their goal of acting, so there was no need to continue acting.
Tuoba Wei and Tuoba Zhong arrived at Treasure Trove Pavilion that very night to discuss this matter.
"Xiao Ye, the Du family, Yuwen family, and Qian family are obviously trying to outshine us and make our Tuoba family rank last.”Tuoba Wei said.
"Second Grandpa, don't worry. I can handle it.”Tuoba Ye was full of confidence.”
Taba Wei said," Each clan will send out six experts. Three of them will be experts for the official competition, and three will be reserve fighters. The four clans will take turns to compete. The clan that wins the most matches will be the strongest clan. Each clan would have to fight for three days without any rest.”
"Can an expert compete two or three times in a row?”Tuoba Ye asked.
"Of course you can. However, everyone's strength was about the same. Usually, after an expert won a martial arts competition, he would give up the following martial arts competition. Because the four great clans had always been competing with each other, if there were casualties in the arena, then the losses would be great.”Tuoba Wei said.
"You can kill people at will?" Tuoba Ye was slightly surprised.
Tuoba Zhong shook his head and said," Of course not. The four great clans are the pillars of the Warring States Period. The imperial family does not allow wanton killing in the martial arts arena. When the time comes, the judges will all be experts of the imperial family. They will stop it." However, there were still casualties occasionally. Sometimes, it was helpless to not stop.”
"Xiao Ye, let's participate this time!”Tuoba Wei said.
Tuoba Ye smiled and said," We can end our acting now. You guys can join us. When the time comes, I will join the battle with Second Grandpa and Third Grandpa."”
"I'm really looking forward to it. I wonder what their expressions will be when they see you appear. On the day of the competition, there will definitely be a betting event, and our odds will definitely be very high. In the past, it was the Qian family who controlled the peripheral gambling. This time, the Du family and the Yuwen family might also be involved.”Tuoba Wei said with a smile.
"Second Grandpa, you guys withdraw all the liquid funds of the family. We're prepared to make a fortune. This is a rare opportunity. I can't let it go." Tuoba Ye laughed.
He still had three million gold coins, and he was prepared to invest all of them.
However, he would not personally appear and let others invest in a small amount. This way, it would not attract attention.
The list of participants for the tournament was announced two days in advance and could no longer be changed. The peripheral gambling houses had also begun to accept bets.
