In Sichuan Province, on the outskirts of Lucheng, a ragged young man walked casually carrying a worn-out shoulder bag.
His steps were steady and his rhythm was orderly. Although he looked gray and embarrassed, he could not hide the divine light in his eyes.
The young man has an upright posture and a slender figure, like a spear that is about to pierce the sky, moving forward with an unparalleled look.
Looking at the tall buildings looming in the distance, he looked dimly and murmured softly.
"Eight years!"
"What I, Ye Chen, once said and swore, I have finally accomplished!"
"Ye Shan, Ye Yunlong, you wouldn't have thought that I'm not dead, I'm still alive and well!"
He clenched his fists and thought of the days before he was ten years old, which should have been his happiest time. He also believed from a young age that in the future, he would work hard to become stronger and reach the top for that family and that name.
He believes that one day in the future, he will bring supreme glory to that family, allowing it to take its already strong family to a higher level and become the true first family in China.
But everything he longed for was ruthlessly torn to pieces on that thundering and lightning night eight years ago.
The Ye family in Beijing is a large family with hundreds of years of history. It is one of the top wealthy families in the capital. The family is full of talented people and is extremely powerful. It has a tendency to overwhelm other wealthy families.
Almost all other aristocratic families rely on their connections in business, politics, the military, etc., but the Ye family is different. They are not only rich in talents in various fields, but the Ye family itself is also an extremely special existence——
Martial arts family.
The Ye family has practiced martial arts for generations, and it is not ordinary external martial arts, but real internal martial arts, focusing on internal strength.
In each generation of the Ye family, there are at least three or four people who are born with martial arts and have the talent for martial arts. In addition, there are corresponding talents in all walks of life in the business, government and military, so the Ye family has been strong and prestigious from generation to generation.
Ye Chen is the most outstanding direct descendant of the third generation of the Ye family today. He is deeply loved by Ye Shan, the father of the Ye family. The Ye family also regards him as the future head of the family and has high expectations.
Ye Chen has been extremely talented since he was a child. He has always surpassed his peers in all aspects. Moreover, he has martial arts background. At the age of four, he was personally taught by his father Ye Yunlong and became an internal practitioner.
His martial arts talent is considered top-notch in the history of the Ye family. Although his younger brother Ye Xing is excellent, he is still far behind him.
Almost everyone in the Ye family believes that a new star will rise in the Ye family and will shine in China in the future, leading the Ye family to go further and higher.
But on Ye Chen's tenth birthday, he happily ran to his grandfather Ye Shan and asked for a gift. Ye Shan, who had always loved him very much, showed an unprecedented cold expression.
Ye Shan's next words made Ye Chen stunned on the spot, with a confused look on his face.
"Ye Chen, the third generation of the Ye family, is the bane of my Ye family and the source of chaos in the Ye family. He will be punished according to family rules!"
"As the fifteenth generation head of the Ye family, I declare that Ye Chen will be expelled from the Ye family, his martial arts will be abolished, and all resources will be deprived of him. No one in the Ye family will have any contact with him. If he is discovered, he will be expelled from the Ye family immediately.
!”
"The third generation of the Ye family, Ye Xing alone is enough!"
Ye Shan's face was indifferent, and he looked at Ye Chen as if he were looking at a virus or a scourge.
Ye Chen was confused. He didn't know what mistake he had made. When did he disturb the Ye family?
But everything happened so fast that he had no chance to defend himself. His father Ye Yunlong, who had always cared for him and taught him carefully, brutally attacked him and shattered his martial arts veins.
After that, Ye Yunlong ignored Ye Chen's mother's heartbroken eyes and took Ye Chen, who had lost all his skills, to a wild forest on the outskirts of the capital, leaving him to fend for himself without any further intervention.
In this modern world, practitioners of ancient martial arts are extremely rare. Only those with natural martial arts are qualified to practice ancient martial arts and develop inner strength. Warriors are unique among thousands.
Once a warrior loses his martial arts veins, it will be like losing his Dantian. He will lose all his cultivation and will not be able to practice martial arts again for life. This is absolutely a devastating blow to the warrior.
As for Ye Chen, when he was only ten years old, his martial arts veins were abolished, his martial arts skills were completely useless, and he was abandoned in the wilderness. This was tantamount to killing him completely and leaving no way to survive.
He didn't understand, he was angry, why would his grandfather, who loved him very much, regard him as a sinner of the family? Why would his father, who had always been so protective of him, deal with him so cruelly and exile him?
To this day, he still remembers Ye Yunlong's cold and determined expression when he left him in the deep mountains and wild forests, and he has never forgotten even the smallest details.
Suffering such a cruel blow, someone else might have given up on life and passed away.
But Ye Chen, on that night eight years ago, endured the heartbreaking pain, leaned against a big tree, and swore to Ye Yunlong, who turned around, that he would never bow his head.
"Ye Yunlong, everything I have learned, and even my body, hair, and skin, are all because of you. If you destroy my martial arts, I don't hate you, but I have repaid your kindness to me!"
"From today on, I, Ye Chen, have nothing to do with you, Ye Yunlong, nor do I have anything to do with the entire Ye family!"
"I, Ye Chen, hereby swear that I will never die. I will continue to use this name, live better than anyone else, and stand taller than anyone else!"
"In the future, I will definitely make your Ye family look up to you, and I will make all of you regret everything you did to me today!"
After he finished speaking, he punched the tree with all his strength. The back of his hand was bruised and bloody, and blood dripped to the ground. It was shocking, but he felt no pain at all, only a little flame beating and tumbling in his eyes.
When Ye Yunlong heard his words, he only paused slightly, but did not turn around and left indifferently. Perhaps Ye Yunlong thought that Ye Chen would never survive in this situation.
Even if Ye Chen survives, as a helpless boy with his martial arts abolished, it is an exaggeration to say that he can become the richest man in a country, but let alone the richest man in China, he will be the richest man in China.
He may not be qualified enough to be taken seriously by the extremely powerful Ye family, let alone look up to him.
What Ye Chen said at that time was completely a bunch of jokes in Ye Yunlong's eyes.
But neither Ye Shan nor Ye Yunlong may have expected that the ten-year-old child who was exiled to the mountains and forced to die did not die.
And now, he has experienced countless lives and deaths, has been reborn, and has returned as a king.
Recalling the extremely cold faces of Ye Shan and Ye Yunlong back then, a sneer appeared on the corner of Ye Chen's mouth.
"Ye Shan, Ye Yunlong, and the Ye family, when I stand in front of you again, your expressions will be wonderful, right?"
He clenched his fist, and the crackling sound of his joints spread, and he temporarily suppressed those past events in his heart.
"Lucheng, you will be my first stop in the world!"
Ye Chen's eyes were like stars, he tapped his back foot, and the whole person disappeared.
Lucheng, Taoxiyuan villa area.
"Ah, who are you?"
A beautiful woman just opened the door and was startled when she saw a man in ragged clothes standing at the door who looked like a beggar.
"Aunt He, it's me!"
The person at the door was Ye Chen, he said slightly apologetically.
"Are you Xiaochen?"
After careful identification, the beautiful woman exclaimed. Although Ye Chen's face was slightly dusty and his appearance had changed drastically, she could still see a somewhat familiar outline.
