Ye Qingyu heard this and didn't insist further. She thanked Meng Fan and then turned to run back into the grand hall.
Her sudden movement caused the Ye family members opposite them to panic.
However, due to Meng Fan's "divine might," they didn't dare to act rashly.
Even though six cultivators at the Condensation Pill Realm stood up, they were still extremely nervous, especially wary of Meng Fan.
After all, Meng Fan had just defeated Ye Yuanfeng, who was at the peak of Condensing Elixir, with a single move.
With such strength, even if the six Condensation Pill cultivators joined forces, they couldn't guarantee victory.
Moreover, Meng Fan had just broken the inheritance sword formation, adding to his mysterious aura in their eyes.
In reality, Meng Fan's earlier move was purely a bluff.
He managed to defeat Ye Yuanfeng in one strike entirely by relying on the residual power of the Sword Immortal of Alchemy's inheritance sword formation.
Now that the inheritance sword formation had completely dissipated, Meng Fan's combat strength had returned to normal.
At his normal level, he would have to go all out to kill even a single Condensation Pill cultivator, and it would be extremely difficult.
Against six Condensation Pill cultivators, he stood no chance.
Even with Hong Qi's help to condense a sword soul, he could at most kill one Condensation Pill cultivator.
Including other trump cards, he could at most kill two Condensation Pill cultivators!
And that's in theory.
If the six Condensation Pill cultivators attacked simultaneously, he might not even kill one before being killed himself.
After all, they weren't fools who would step forward one by one to be slaughtered!
In this situation, Meng Fan seemed to have no choice but to use the Sword Seal given to him by Elder Lin to turn the tide.
He frowned, hesitating and feeling uncertain.
Because this Sword Seal was too powerful!
Most importantly, he couldn't fully control Elder Lin's Sword Seal.
Once the Sword Qi within the Sword Seal was released, everyone here except Meng Fan would die!
Of course, Ye Qingyu, who had already entered the grand hall, would certainly survive.
But the Ye family members opposite him numbered over thirty.
Killing all these people felt a bit unscrupulous to Meng Fan.
After all, he had just received their inheritance and then turned around to wipe out their entire family.
That… would be too shameless.
Moreover, Ye Qingyu would probably be unable to accept such a scene.
She only wanted to obtain the Sword Immortal of Alchemy's inheritance, not to wipe out her entire family.
Although Ye Qingyu had some grievances with the Ye family, it hadn't reached that extent!
She had never even considered wiping out her entire family.
Of course, things had escalated to this point, and it was no longer up to her will.
If the Ye family insisted on attacking Meng Fan, he would have no choice but to use the Sword Seal to kill them all.
After all, in a life-and-death situation, the natural choice was to ensure his own survival.
"I advise you all, if you don't want to die, you'd better leave now. Otherwise, none of you will survive!" Meng Fan looked at the Ye family members opposite him and tried to persuade them.
However, it was more of a threat than persuasion!
In fact, at this point, persuasion was ineffective; threats were more effective.
People fear death, and with the lingering power of his sword strike against Ye Yuanfeng, Meng Fan indeed had a significant deterrent effect on them.
But expecting them to abandon such a huge temptation and leave with just a few words was unrealistic.
"No matter who you are, you should know that this is the Ye family's territory.
The inheritance you just received also belongs to the Ye family.
As long as you return the inheritance to the Ye family, we will naturally retreat and not trouble you further."
A middle-aged man stepped out from the Ye family crowd and spoke to Meng Fan.
Meng Fan glanced at him and noticed that his eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Ye Qingyu's.
So he asked, "What is Ye Qingyu to you?"
The middle-aged man replied, "She is my daughter."
Meng Fan sneered, realizing that this was Ye Qingyu's father, Ye Fei.
"Ye Qingyu is your daughter. She entered the grand hall to receive the Sword Immortal of Alchemy's inheritance. Shouldn't you be happy for your daughter?"
Ye Fei immediately said, "I am naturally very proud and honored that Qingyu could obtain the Sword Immortal of Alchemy's inheritance. But you are not a member of the Ye family, so you shouldn't covet our inheritance!"
Meng Fan said coldly, "But the Sword Immortal of Alchemy's Sword Dao inheritance has already been imprinted in my mind, embedded in my soul. It's impossible for me to hand it over!
Moreover, this inheritance is extremely profound. It's a memory inheritance. Even if I were to write it down, you wouldn't be able to learn it because it lacks the mystical essence!"
Meng Fan was telling the truth, not just making excuses.
The "Small Thousand Sword Formation" was too complex, with many aspects that could only be understood intuitively, not explained in words.
Some of its mystical aspects were even more profound!
That's why the Sword Immortal of Alchemy created this special inheritance instead of directly writing it down in a scripture.
Ye Fei shook his head and said, "In that case, it's impossible for us to retreat. If we leave in disgrace, the Ye family would become a laughingstock."
Meng Fan looked at Ye Fei in surprise and said, "Does your Ye family still have any dignity left?"
Becoming a laughingstock?
That didn't seem like something too hard for the Ye family to accept, did it?
"You brat, how dare you insult the Ye family!" Ye Fei was furious and scolded Meng Fan.
After scolding him, he glanced at the five people beside him, gaining some confidence.
If he were alone, he wouldn't dare to shout at Meng Fan.
Earlier, Ye Yuanfeng had been overconfident, giving Meng Fan an opportunity.
No, Ye Yuanfeng was just unlucky; he would have lost regardless of his confidence.
Meng Fan had relied on the residual power of the inheritance sword formation, so Ye Yuanfeng had no chance.
Essentially, Ye Yuanfeng wasn't fighting Meng Fan but the Sword Immortal of Alchemy's inheritance sword formation.
Even if the sword formation's power had diminished by ninety-nine percent, Ye Yuanfeng still couldn't win!
But for the Ye family, the good news was that the inheritance sword formation's power had completely dissipated, not a trace remaining.
"Everyone, let's attack together!" Ye Fei said to the five people beside him.
The five had complex expressions, each different.
But they still nodded.
At this point, they couldn't let this kid leave. Otherwise, the Ye family would lose the Sword Immortal of Alchemy's inheritance and any hope of rising again.
Behind Ye Fei, Ye Qingyu's mother covered her mouth and shouted, "It's this brat who hit me. Kill him!"
She was injured and had arrived late, just now reaching the scene, so she hadn't seen Meng Fan thrash Ye Yuanfeng.
Otherwise, she wouldn't dare to speak so boldly.
Ye Fei turned and glared at his foolish wife, angrily scolding, "Shut up!"
