Day 86-147 Lin Family Tourney Part 2 A small bout

Several fighters swarmed the arena to fight. Ye Xinghe just raised his hands and smacked them around. Utilizing Frost Air Body to it fullest. Several promising fighters were frozen in an instant and shattered into dust!

The dust was swept into his Internal Space of course. Sucked into the Flame Vortex Core to help. His cultivation only at the 5th Heavenly Layer caused a few to shake in fear. It was to devastating to witness.

Doubt and fear set into the souls of many. A purple qi generating that the Heart Method fed on pushing him further.

Zhao Yan had just fried a random cultivator. Showing his 5th Heavenly Realm cultivation. The crowd was impressed with the young Flame Martial Artist.

"Already there with such a presence, and under the age of 20." A cultivator said a little shamefully. He himself was 27 and just reached the 5th Heavenly Layer. "He's definitely the most outstanding genius of our Blue Carp town."

Those who helped Zhao Yan recently were fearful and thinking of ways to backtrack somehow. Remembering Zhao Ning, they wanted to find her to make amends before it was to late.

As the remaining Zhao members fled before it was to late, Zhay Yan stood in the arena teeth clenched so tight his gums were bleeding. Several opponents stop heading directly in trying to form a plan.

'I didn't think that Zhao Yan's strength would have already reached a level like this.' Lin Yin was somewhat impressed. But that level of strength would not help her with the family trouble she had. Her eyes looked to Ye Xinghe who looked bored. "He has much more strength than this."

"This.. is such a drag. You are all scared. No need to back away from me like this." His hand raised as Star energy went out freezing those in the ring. Only thing left were their heads exposed. As his fingers closed up a little, the frozen people felt the ice tightening. "These competitions... are now outlawed in Blue Carp Town!"

"What!?" The nobles were incensed.

"I have important matters to attend to, this needs to be solved now." He smiled as his Frost Domain hit the crowd and target everyone in the vicinity. Of course, it couldn't hurt them easily as most were prepared. "I said this will never be allowed again. Lin Yin will be the last female to be used as a bargaining chip in clan relations."

He turned towards Lin Yin making direct eye contact. Giving her a small smile. She nodded agreeing with and defintely agreed with it.

"You are the strongest and have won the competition by far." Lin Yin voiced. Standing up, she pushed her cultivation out voiced her intentions. "S the one in charge of her own fate, I declare this competition over. I will marry Patriarch Ye XInghe and the Lin clan will be absorbed under them!"

"What's happening here?" A cultivator had no idea what was going on. He looked around for an answer. The faces of the crowd not helping his lack of information. "Anyone mind telling me?"

"What madness is this!?" Lin Zhanyun voiced. They were not to become vassals or under anyone less than them. The standing of the Azure Feather Family was rising but it was not there yet. "You.."

*Crkk!* Ye Xinghe froze him in place. Lin Yin instructed a few guards to take him away. He would not be killed mind you but it did look bad if he kept causing a scene.

She was the future leader of the clan and by the looks of it, had the backing of Ye Xinghe. Others in the noble seats understood and openly supported the change in leadership.

He Dongming of the Molan Family, Ye Yanfan of the Black Eagle Family, and Lei Shuo speaking on behalf of the Thunder Family. After speaking with Old Xu, the man understood that the Dark moon Family would change to Liang Yu's and the future with the Families underneath all changing as well.

"Blue Carp Town will flourish under such leadership." Old Xu voiced. "The Heavenly Star Academy is planning to put its full support on helping it to develop in the future."

That little bit prevents any vocal protests. But a few had in their minds to inform the Royal Family and a few Great Houses to get involved.

They excused themselves seeing the North Guard Lord's Mansion people there behind Xia Yuning. They didn't act or anything but that didn't mean anything as she just spoke out against those who tried to cause an issue before.

*Boom!* A violent wave of qi erupted from Zhao Yan. Exuding the power of someone at the 7th Heavenly Layer. it was unstable and achieved from drastic means and taking medicine.

"Raaahhh!" Zhao Yan broke through the ice do to fury. Having been underestimated and embarrassed, he charged at Ye Xinghe. "I will make you pay!

*Woosh!* Ye Xinghe sent another wave of star energy forward.

*Fwoosh!* Zhao Yan launched a concentrated fireball. Upon impact, the flames actually froze. This baffled many. With a wave of qi, it broke apart and circled around dangerously.

"Pathetic." Ye Xinghe said. He clenched his fists distorting the air and causing the ice shards to cut his opponent's flesh in several places. "Not even worth the hassle really. I thought you would provide me with more... of a challenge. I gave you such ample motivation."

Zhao Yan created a Crimson Flame Shield as he moved. Using his qi wildly getting himself free.

"Ample motivation..." Zhao Yang looked in fury. His veins protruding all over. "..you killed my father!" He sent out two giant fireballs powered up with most of his qi. "You filthy bastard!"

*Booom! Boom!* A dual explosion pushed heat all over. Counteracted by the Frost Air Body, it was nothing.

"Your father killed so many and abused his power." Xinghe stalked out of the steam smiling. His white hair flowing behind a little from the qi he took in. "I am just helping clean up my town. But do not worry, I will kill many more like him."

Looking into the eyes of sure death, Zhao Yan broke. His dignity, the clan, the marriage, none of it mattered as he fled. The match was to the death, but it looked like he forgot that.

*Crrkk!* Ice formed out of Star energy floating around. With a flick of the wrist, he tossed several ice shards out. Stabbing Zhao Yan in the back creating a small pattern of a Y.

*Thud!* The body made an ugly sound against the ground. The shards were still there protruding from his back. He was alive but in intense pain. He still had a use after all.

The crowd had mixed feelings. A 5th Heavenly Layer doing something like this was unheard of. Especially a Star Martial Artist against a Flame Martial Artist at the 7th Heavenly Layer. Even with using a shortcut.

"The Zhao Family of yours..." Xinghe did the beckon motion calling the Ice Shards back. Lifting the body back towards him. Focusing the Heart Method directly on his opponent, he corroded his mind even further with a simple touch. "..they belong to who now?"

Pulling back the Frost Domain, the crowd felt relieved. hey were not hurt but it still felt unnerving.

"It is for the good of Blue Carp's Town Future mind you." The words sounding like the kiss of a devil to terrifed teen's ears.

"I.. kuff... understand!" Zhao Yang's eyes signs of life dwindle before glowing purple and returning to normal. "..we serve the Azure Feather Family.. don't.. kill me.." Still fighting back against the invasion of his soul, it would take a while to break him.

"Of course, just remember who you yield to." Ye Xinghe released him. 'My Flame Vortex Core qi has settled nicely inside him. I may not be able to control him outright but I can kill him whenever I need to for a few months.'

"Damn you.." Zhao Yan became furious. He built the qi up ready to go all out once he was dropped. "I will.." He clamped up the moment he looked at the glowing eyes of Xinghe. "..I will dismiss myself now Patriarch!"

Cowed and humiliated, the young man took of immediately. Not even catching that his cultivation was not injured from the use of the medicine to forcefully promote.

"When I came to Blue Carp Town, to take part in Yin'er's martial contest..." Thunder clan member said loudly. Lei Shuo was impressed as much as he was of Liang Yu. "...I originally felt that it was somewhat meaningless. But I am suprised more and more every day!"

He jumped into the ring raring to exchange some pointers. Battle intent in his eyes already. As he strode forward, his qi circled madly. A dragon martial artist that specialized in lighting. Gold scales formed around the eyes, arms, and legs that were covered by pants.

A golden tail that generated sparks moved about oddly.

"Interesting.. I wonder if you are better than the other Dragon Martial Artists I have killed?" Ye Xinghe rolled his neck. "Lin Yin my friend, you do not mind if I break him a little do you?"

"Ummm, it is ok." Lin Yin nodded. Her smile was very enchanting. "Just do not kill him or cripple him. We do owe them a little. I think sparing him alone is enough." She didn't mind reaching a little more with the agreement between the two. "This is enough to settle accounts, yes?" She looked to her Lei Hong who stared in the arena at his uncle with a smile. "I am sure this will settle debts, right?"

"If he can beat him, then sure." Lei Hong already thought of ways to handle the situation. But it all depended on the results of the fight. "I can not beat Ye Xinghe as I am, so I guess I do not have the right to have you as my wife."

Lei Hong was infatuated with her beauty but from the moments she turned him down until now, the young man never took into account how badly she didn't want to marry based on her family's interest alone.

"Humph!" Lei Shuo charged forward wanting to solve it martially. Aware his qi was inferior after thinking of the rumors told in his clan about Liang Yu and the display he just witnessed. "I wonder if you can compete with Liang Yu or if you are just all show!"

"Heheh, let's see how strong you really are.." Xinghe laughed as he grabbed the extended fist and twisted it forcefully. "..to think you are so happy because you have a fresh 9th Heavenly Layer Cultivation!"

Most in the crowd eyes were wide as this was unexpected. Some never coming across one so strong in their entire lives. Let alone seeing them fight against someone.

*Bzzzt!* The Lightning entered Xinghe and did absolutely nothing. The man's control of Lightning was not better than his own he used before. Even though he was not using it now, he kept the defenses against it.

Liang Yu's lightning could harm him of course, but the paralyzation and sensory interference were negligible.

"No effect!" Lei Shuo was not expecting that. He could feel the lightning control was even wrestled from his control. "I need more training I guess!" Luckily his qi used did a little something to his opponent.

It made Xinghe's hair float up.
