Chapter 762: Don't You Regret It

"My daughter cannot possibly be wrong; she was born a princess, and no one can make her bow her head," Zhou Yun said sternly. "Isn't Chen Yu very formidable? I simply don't believe our Yu Family would be afraid of him."

"This isn't a question of being afraid or not, but rather that if both sides start a dispute, it is our Huaxia martial arts strength that will suffer. Wouldn't it be better if everyone talked out their misunderstandings and turned hostility into friendship?" Zhang Xiaojiu sighed and said.

"Hmph, it is impossible for our Yu Family to bow our heads. You can give up on that idea," Zhou Yun said coldly.

Zhang Xiaojiu's expression changed; one could tell her upbringing just from her tone. The fact that Yu Jiuzhen was so arrogant and domineering surely had something to do with her mother.

He was, after all, a senior in the martial arts world and had come to mediate, yet Zhou Yun did not give him any face at all.

"That's right, it is impossible for me to bow my head. If I did, wouldn't it tarnish the prestige of our Yu Family? My grandfather is the Martial Alliance Leader. If we concede this time, who in the martial arts world will respect us in the future?"

Yu Jiuzhen recovered her arrogant expression. Clearly, her mother had just given her a sense of security by telling her everything was fine, so her haughty demeanor had returned.

"Alliance Leader, is this also your intention?" Zhang Xiaojiu's expression was somewhat ugly. He had come with the attitude of turning big problems into small ones and small ones into nothing, but the Yu Family, from top to bottom, did not seem to appreciate it.

"My attitude represents my father-in-law's attitude," Zhou Yun said, head held high and with great arrogance. "I don't know what relationship you have with Chen Yu, but go back and tell him that it's useless to find anyone. Tell him to wash his neck clean and wait; I will take his life tomorrow."

"Good, a fine Yu Family, a fine daughter of the Zhou Family," Zhang Xiaojiu was already furious. This woman likely did not know that his master, Chen Yu, was a Dharma Cultivator; she was going to drag the entire Zhou Family down with her.

"Zhang Xiaojiu, considering you are a long-established senior in the martial arts world, we haven't done anything to you. If it were someone else, they wouldn't have been able to walk out of our Yu Family's gate today," the red-faced old man shouted. "Leave; we do not accept mediation."

"That's right, Zhang Xiaojiu, you are getting on in years, so don't meddle in things you shouldn't," Zhou Yun also began to speak unreasonably. "You are not qualified to manage our Yu Family's affairs either."

"Even if that brat is a bit formidable, would our Yu Family and Zhou Family be afraid of him? I have already sent word to my maiden family; tomorrow my father and my senior martial uncle will come to assist. With five Martial Ancestor experts, I don't believe we can't kill Chen Yu," Zhou Yun sneered.

"Fine, your Yu Family is courting death, then let's assume Zhang never came today," Zhang Xiaojiu could not help but be enraged. "But you should make one thing clear: I came to mediate today to save you."

"You have already witnessed Mr. Chen's strength. Since you are so obstinate, then the Yu Family can wait to bear the consequences. Farewell."

After Zhang Xiaojiu finished speaking, he turned and left, his figure flashing and disappearing from the room.

"Zhang Xiaojiu's strength has improved," watching the figure as Xiao Jiu left, the expressions of the several Martial Ancestor experts in the room could not help but change slightly.

Zhang Xiaojiu had been famous for a long time and often traveled in the martial arts world; everyone knew his name well, and it was rumored that he even had some connection with the authorities.

Now that Zhang Xiaojiu had failed to mediate and left in a rage, it actually made the Martial Ancestors in the room feel uneasy.

"What does Zhang Xiaojiu mean by this?" Yu Zhenye frowned and asked with a puzzled look.

"I don't know. Wasn't he here to plead for mercy and mediate for that brat?" an old man said in a deep voice.

"Heh, he injured our Yu Family's people, made threats, and then brought someone to mediate?" another old man sneered. "Where in this world is there such a good deal?"

"Grandfather, I think the reason Chen Yu is so arrogant is entirely because he knows Zhang Xiaojiu," Yu Jiuzhen snorted. "What does he take our Yu Family for? Can a mere Zhang Xiaojiu scare us?"

"Shut up," Yu Zhenye's brows were tightly locked. "Chen Yu's own strength is also very strong; he definitely isn't relying on Zhang Xiaojiu."

Yu Zhenye knew exactly what Chen Yu's strength was; Chen Yu could severely injure him in a single blow, and his strength was definitely not something Zhang Xiaojiu could compare to.

"Father, regardless of what is said, Chen Yu daring to provoke the majesty of our Yu Family means he deserves to die. He simply does not put our Yu Family and Zhou Family in his eyes," Zhou Yun said coldly. "I have already spoken with my father, and he indicated that he will definitely support our Yu Family."

"Zhou Yun, Chen Yu is a Dharma Cultivator, and his strength is not weak," the expression on Yu Zhenye's face was hesitant. "The five of us Martial Ancestors acting together might only result in a draw."

"But we must prepare for the worst. In the event that the five of us Martial Ancestors cannot suppress Chen Yu, your Zhou Family will also be dragged into this."

"Father, you are being distant by saying that. The Yu Family's affairs are the Zhou Family's affairs; we share the same glory and shame," Zhou Yun said as if it were a matter of course. "They gave birth to me and raised me; now that I have encountered a problem, they naturally cannot sit idly by."

"Besides, that bastard Chen Yu dares to provoke the majesty of our two great Martial Arts Families. If we retreat on this matter, how will we command respect in the future?"

"That's right, this matter cannot just end like this. Tomorrow, we will humiliate Chen Yu severely in front of everyone. Hmph, a Dharma Cultivator—I have lived for so many years and have never seen a Dharma Cultivator," the red-faced old man snorted, his expression very arrogant.

"That brat might be faking it," another old man said. "At his age, how could he be a Dharma Cultivator? If he is really faking it and we retreat, that would be the biggest joke."

Thus, in the council of the Yu Family's many Martial Ancestor experts, their decision regarding Chen Yu was finalized, but they did not know that the decline of the century-old Martial Arts Family, the Yu Family, began right then.

At noon the next day, at the Longwu Villa training grounds.

Three of the Yu Family's Martial Ancestors had already arrived; in addition, there were six Martial Ancestor Realm experts from the Three Provinces.

On the other side, Chen Yu had already arrived. After all, the Yu Family was a century-old Martial Arts Family, so he gave the Yu Family enough respect by waiting here since early morning.

Noon had arrived, and Chen Yu stood up and stepped forward, saying, "Noon is here. Hand over Yu Jiuzhen, and I will ensure your Yu clan is not destroyed."

"Chen Yu, I have tolerated you for a long time," one of the six Martial Ancestors sitting to the side stood up and shouted angrily at Chen Yu. "The Yu Family is the head of the Martial Alliance, representing the Martial Alliance Leader of the Three Provinces and Six Cities; how can we allow you to humiliate us like this?"

"That's right, Alliance Leader has treated you as a junior and hasn't bothered with you, yet you have become even more brazen?" another person also said.
