Chapter 273: Who Says I Didn’t Come?
Subsequently, Uehara Meiko and the other three stood together with the younger generation of various martial arts families.
Even though these martial arts prodigies excel in martial skills, they dared not show any neglect.
"Why was the location chosen here?"
Ueshima Tenjin couldn’t help but ask.
"To report to the Prince, with Yagyu Kenei and Ye Xiaoyao’s strength, they could practically destroy this place. A battle anywhere else would be impossible!"
Explained by the martial arts prodigy Watanabe Bunryu from the Watanabe Clan.
Ueshima Tenjin, with his hands behind his back, glanced haughtily, and said lightly, "I’ve long heard of Japan’s number one martial arts prodigy, Yagyu Kenei, who is unparalleled in martial arts. Many strong figures within the Royal Family have praised him, and with what I see today, I believe it!"
Then, Ueshima Tenjin changed his tone and said, "But where is Yagyu Kenei? We’ve been here for so long, why hasn’t he appeared?"
His tone carried a sharpness, simply meaning that they had come, so why hadn’t Yagyu Kenei come to meet them!
No matter how strong he was, he would have to bow before the Royal Family.
Everyone exchanged glances and couldn’t help but smile.
Silently thinking: With Yagyu Kenei’s character, it wouldn’t matter even if the Emperor himself came.
"Sorry, Prince, we haven’t seen him either."
Said Yoshino Nakamichi, a prodigy from the Yoshino Clan.
Beside him, Ikeda Hoshinako whispered to Uehara Meiko, "Sister, I wonder what Yagyu Kenei looks like? I’ve heard the Royal Family might arrange a marriage for you!"
Uehara Meiko nodded, "Yes, that’s the main reason I came this time. I’ve heard Yagyu Kenei has many bad habits and scandals."
"If he can defeat the martial arts prodigy from Huaxia today, he would be worthy of an engagement with you, and by then you might have to silently endure."
Ikeda Hoshinako said with her big eyes blinking.
Uehara Meiko maintained a face of cold arrogance, "If he indeed has the strength to dominate both the Huaxia and Japan martial arts realms, marrying him wouldn’t be impossible!"
At this moment, someone in the crowd exclaimed, "The Yagyu Clan of the Six Great Martial Arts Families has arrived!"
Upon hearing this, everyone’s expression changed.
Especially the experts from the other Six Great Martial Arts Families.
Though all are from the Six Great Martial Arts Families, the Yagyu Clan is on a different level from them.
The Yagyu Clan doesn’t even regard the Royal Family!
Leading them was the current head of the Yagyu Clan, Yagyu Tensei, who made an entrance like an ancient emperor, his gaze sharp, his demeanor arrogant, his presence like a dragon or tiger, his eyes coldly sweeping across, regarding no one in his eyes.
Kitajima Yu and others immediately came to pay respects, lest one day the Yagyu Clan becomes unhappy and no longer adhere to the ancient mysterious code.
Their family could instantly rewrite the fate of the martial arts realm!
The Six Great Martial Arts Families could become one!
"Lord Yagyu Tensei!"
Ueshima Tenjin snorted lightly at Yagyu Tensei.
Yagyu Tensei and other members of the Yagyu Clan first threw a sharp glance at Ueshima Tenjin.
Then, Yagyu Tensei revealed a slight smile, "So it’s the Prince and the two Inner Princes!"
Then his gaze stopped on Uehara Meiko, "Inner Prince Meiko, regarding the engagement between you and my Yagyu Clan, I’ve once again reminded the Royal Family, as long as Yagyu Kenei sweeps over the pinnacle of Huaxia martial arts in this battle, then you shall be wed!"
"What? The Royal Family and the Yagyu Clan to form a marital alliance!"
"The influence of the Yagyu Clan has grown too vast, long affecting the Royal Family. Now Yagyu Kenei is defying the heavens. The Royal Family can only use marriage to balance the Yagyu Clan!"
...
The crowd was abuzz with discussion, the sound of gasping never-ending.
Ueshima Tenjin’s face changed slightly, the Yagyu Clan hadn’t taken them seriously at all, not even the Royal Family.
But he dared not say anything!
However, Uehara Meiko remained calm, "Alright, I am looking forward to this battle!"
"Yes, let us watch and wait! After this battle, I will no longer restrain Yagyu Kenei! Our Japan Martial Arts Realm will suppress all of Asia!"
Yagyu Tensei was extremely confident, daring to speak such bold words in front of everyone.
Ueshima Tenjin couldn’t help but ask, "But where is Yagyu Kenei? Why haven’t I seen him yet? Is he not going to show up?"
Yagyu Tensei wished he could slap this fellow to death, "Hmph, impossible! Being the second on the Divine Wind List, he surely has his ways of handling things, unlike you mediocre people!"
"You..."
Ueshima Tenjin was about to explode with anger, but had to endure.
The others from the Yagyu Clan said, "This is the number one prodigy for you, perhaps our Young Master and Ye Xiaoyao have already arrived and just haven’t appeared yet. Or they’ve already ascended to the peak of Mount Fuji."
Everyone waited nervously and eagerly, silently anticipating this epic battle.
Miyata Xiaoqi and Matsukawa Tanaka were also in the crowd, their breaths quickening, more expectant.
Yesterday they had been impressed, today they hoped to witness a more exciting, astonishing battle.
Time passed by the minute and second, but still no sign of Yagyu Kenei or Ye Qingtian.
Initially, the Yagyu Clan appeared calm.
But as time went on, even they could no longer remain calm.
After all, the scheduled time had passed, yet Yagyu Kenei still hadn’t appeared.
"Lord Yagyu Tensei, where is he? I heard Yagyu Kenei is quite the playboy, could he have forgotten this matter? Or is he in bed with some woman?"
Seizing the opportunity, Ueshima Tenjin naturally wouldn’t let it go.
Instantly, hundreds of pairs of eyes focused on the Yagyu Clan members.
The name and the shadow of a tree.
Yagyu Kenei’s reputation was too well-known, everyone understood this.
It was quite possible what Ueshima Tenjin said was true.
"This..."
Even Yagyu Tensei froze, unable to respond.
He thought the same: could it be that Yagyu Kenei had too much fun and forgot?
After all, they were well aware of his character in the Yagyu Clan.
"Let’s wait a bit longer! Maybe something delayed him, haven’t you noticed Ye Xiaoyao hasn’t come either?"
Yagyu Tensei helplessly explained.
Now, he could only hope for Yagyu Kenei to appear soon.
"Who said I haven’t appeared?"
At this moment, a thunderous voice suddenly rang out.
The voice was like a clap of thunder, resonating throughout the venue.
Instantly, everyone’s attention was drawn.
Ye Qingtian was seen walking in slowly, followed by Shen Huamo, Du Xueyan, and others.
Finally, there were two tall men in black, holding onto a rope, dragging someone slowly with them.
The appearance of this group shocked the entire venue.
But the Eastern Demon and others immediately recognized this as Ye Xiaoyao.
"He finally arrived!"
Number three and four became fully alert, ready to act at any moment.
"Is this Ye Xiaoyao?"
Someone asked.
"That’s right, this is Ye Xiaoyao, the pinnacle of Huaxia Martial Arts!"
When this title was announced, it seemed as though the air in the entire venue had been sucked dry.
