[To be honest, Ye Yu had been in the God Realm for quite some time and considered himself someone who had seen his fair share of major events.]
[But a confrontation involving several thousand members of the God Clan on both sides was truly a first for him.]
[Tianshan Dao's claim of having three thousand members of the God Clan was not exaggerated in the slightest.]
[Setting aside those who were currently away from the Divine Alliance, the number gathered here merely to provide support already exceeded three thousand.]
[Although most of their cultivation levels were not particularly high, sheer numbers alone made for an intimidating sight.]
[By comparison, Shangqing Temple's side seemed somewhat outnumbered.]
[Yet they showed no fear whatsoever.]
[Especially the handsome Ghost God leading them.]
[The moment he arrived, he unleashed a relentless verbal assault.]
[And nearly every sentence involved somebody's mother.]
[At first, the members of Tianshan Dao listened with righteous indignation and were eager to fight.]
[But as they continued listening, something gradually began to feel off.]
[What do you mean, my Dao companion and I were deeply devoted to one another, living in perfect harmony, and then you stole her away, you bastard?]
[Those words caused the previously furious members of Tianshan Dao to fall silent.]
[Even their momentum visibly weakened.]
[Then, from somewhere within the crowd, a booming voice suddenly erupted.]
["Wan Third! Don't tell me you stole somebody else's Dao companion again!"]
[Upon hearing this, Wan Xiaoge, who was standing shoulder to shoulder with Divine Alliance leader Xiao Pingchao, awkwardly rubbed his nose.]
["I didn't want things to turn out this way either."]
["But the flower was in full bloom. We were deeply in love. Our feelings simply couldn't be restrained."]
[The entire scene fell silent for three full breaths.]
[Then outrage exploded among the crowd.]
[Many people immediately turned around and headed back toward the Divine Alliance.]
[They openly declared that they wanted no part in this nonsense.]
[While cursing Wan Xiaoge, they also made sure not to spare Xiao Pingchao.]
["You're the leader of the Divine Alliance, aren't you? And you called this a misunderstanding?"]
["What, is Wan Xiaoge your biological son? Why are you protecting him so much?"]
["How many times has this kind of nonsense happened over the years?"]
["We're done. If you want to play this game, play it yourselves."]
[Very quickly, roughly half of Tianshan Dao's members had already left.]
[Many of those who remained hadn't stayed because they wanted to.]
[They were simply waiting their turn to leave.]
[Seeing this, Ye Yu found the situation completely understandable.]
[From what he had heard from countless fellow Daoists, this wasn't the first time Wan Xiaoge had done something like this.]
[Naturally everyone was unhappy.]
[After all, Wan Xiaoge got all the benefits.]
[Then when the victims came knocking, everyone else was expected to stand behind him.]
[What kind of logic was that?]
[More importantly, he was clearly in the wrong.]
[If they actually helped him beat up the victim, the embarrassment would be unbearable.]
[A true man cared about his reputation.]
[Ye Yu raised an eyebrow slightly.]
[Still, even so, there probably wouldn't be any major problems.]
[After all, Divine Alliance leader Xiao Pingchao and the other elders were still present.]
[Wan Xiaoge should be—]
[Wait.]
[Why was Wan Xiaoge the only one left at the front?]
[Where had Xiao Pingchao and all the elders gone?]
["Elder Wan, I've fulfilled my promise."]
["Don't forget the promise you made to me."]
["Do your best. Hold on. Whatever you do, don't get beaten to death."]
[Divine Alliance leader Xiao Pingchao stood at the gates of Tianshan Dao alongside the other elders, waving cheerfully.]
[Their attitude clearly conveyed one message.]
[What happens next has nothing to do with us.]
[Ye Yu's mouth twitched slightly.]
[Even the upper management has run away.]
[Maybe I should leave too, before I end up getting beaten for no reason.]
[When he turned around, he suddenly discovered something shocking.]
[The once-crowded gathering had dwindled to only three people.]
[Wan Xiaoge.]
[Wan Zhengyuan.]
[And himself.]
[What exactly is wrong with Tianshan Dao?]
[Are you all competing to see who can run away the fastest?]
[Just as Ye Yu was preparing to make his own escape, Wan Zhengyuan suddenly spoke.]
["Actually, I'm very touched."]
["For all these years, I've always been the one standing beside my brother."]
["But now there's you."]
["My good brother, you stayed behind for my sake, didn't you?"]
[Ye Yu's expression became extremely strange.]
[He had just opened his mouth to speak when Wan Zhengyuan raised a hand and interrupted him.]
["You don't need to explain."]
["I can feel it."]
["Brotherhood is carried in the heart. Thank you."]
["We'll drag my brother away together later. It'll be fine."]
[Hearing this, Ye Yu became curious.]
["Drag your brother away? What does that mean?"]
["Exactly what it sounds like."]
[Wan Zhengyuan quickly explained.]
["As for my brother stealing other people's Dao companions... even he knows it's not exactly honorable."]
["So under normal circumstances, he comes out and lets them beat him up to vent their anger."]
["That gives them an outlet and allows everyone to save face."]
["This way, things don't escalate into a life-and-death feud."]
["And the reason he had Xiao Pingchao gather the entire Divine Alliance wasn't because he intended to fight them to the death."]
["It was purely for appearances."]
["To let the other side know that he has backing and influence."]
["They can beat him, but they shouldn't beat him to death."]
["Because if he dies, the Divine Alliance will seek revenge on his behalf."]
[After hearing this explanation, Ye Yu genuinely wanted to give Wan Xiaoge a thumbs-up.]
[What a principled man.]
[If you've done wrong, admit it.]
[If you're getting beaten, stand up straight and take it.]
[And once you've chosen a profession, commit yourself to it wholeheartedly.]
[Anyone capable of understanding human nature this thoroughly truly deserved his success at stealing other people's wives.]
[At that moment, Wan Xiaoge overheard the conversation between Wan Zhengyuan and Ye Yu behind him and turned around.]
["This fellow Daoist looks unfamiliar."]
["But for you to stand by me at a time like this... I'll remember this favor."]
["We'll settle it through actions in the future."]
[Ye Yu laughed awkwardly.]
[You're still making promises and drawing future prospects at a time like this?]
[You really are a remarkable talent.]
[Across from them, Tao Yang, the leader of Shangqing Temple, showed no surprise whatsoever.]
[It seemed he had already done his homework before coming.]
[Thus he immediately declared in a loud voice:]
["Elder Wan, fine. Your skin is thick enough."]
["I've long heard of your heroic exploits."]
["Since you enjoy standing there and getting beaten, I'll gladly fulfill your wish."]
["I didn't bring all these people here for anything else."]
["We're simply here to vent our anger."]
["One punch each."]
["Hit him!"]
[More than a thousand members of the God Clan immediately agreed.]
[Then one Ghost God asked in confusion:]
["Alliance Leader, there are three people standing over there."]
["Besides Wan Xiaoge, should we beat the other two as well?"]
["Beat them all!"]
["I've heard that after Wan Xiaoge gets beaten, his younger brother drags him back to the Divine Alliance."]
["Since these two are standing with him, they must be his brothers as well."]
["That means they're no good either. Beat them!"]
[The words of Shangqing Temple's leader caused Ye Yu's spine to stiffen instantly.]
[Wait a second.]
[Why are all three of us getting beaten?]
[Ye Yu immediately turned toward Wan Zhengyuan and spoke at lightning speed.]
["Then let's run!"]
["How can anyone survive attacks from over a thousand members of the God Clan?"]
[Wan Zhengyuan casually waved his hand.]
["Relax."]
["They wouldn't dare kill my brother."]
["And they wouldn't dare kill us either."]
["At most, they'll hit a little harder to vent their anger."]
["I'm already used to it."]
["After taking this beating, we'll be brothers for life!"]
