Ye Li's words made Luo Lishi's face turn pale and blue. He really didn't want to admit that Niu Qianjin was stronger than Panshan Qingsong. He didn't care what kind of talisman Niu Qianjin had forged. He just wanted Panshan Qingsong to win the game.
Their plan to attack the Ye family has already failed for the most part. Now if they lose the game as well, their plan will be completely used to build momentum for the Ye family, which is something they simply cannot accept.
When Panshan Qingsong heard Ye Li's question, a trace of struggle appeared in his eyes, and then he immediately became firm, looking at Ye Li and raising his voice and said: "In the name of the grandson of the patriarch of my Panshan family, I am sure that he is definitely cheating.
What kind of family do you think your Ye family is that you can hire a craftsman who is capable of casting earth-level talismans with mysterious materials
Moreover, how could a forger of this level be hired to participate in such a low-level competition? So I am sure you must have cheated!"
Ye Li narrowed his eyes slightly, and a sharp light shot out from them.
“I guarantee on the reputation of my Ye family that he definitely did not cheat, and this talisman was just cast by him.
If you can prove that we cheated, our Ye family is willing to withdraw from the competition and will no longer be involved in the weapon casting business.
But if you can't prove we cheated, and I can prove we didn't cheat, then you're going to close the door and quit, how about that? "
Panshan Qingsong heard this and narrowed his eyes slightly, then sneered and said, "Sure, no problem at all.
My ancestor Panshan Luanwen is a mid-level heavenly-level weaponsmith. Why don’t I write a letter and ask him to judge the situation and see who is right and who should close down and withdraw.”
At this point, both parties were no longer interested in arguing about the issue of cheating. After all, "cheating" itself was a trumped-up charge, and the Luo family had no way of producing any evidence.
However, relying on the support of the Panshan family, they dared to insist on their crime and pinned it on Niu Qianjin.
Now Panshan Qingsong brought out his ancestor, of course not really to ask him for justice, but to tell Ye Li that there is a mid-grade heavenly weaponsmith in my family.
All major forces in the martial arts world will compete to make friends with an excellent weaponsmith. After all, only a heavenly-level weaponsmith can refine heavenly-level talismans.
Although the Panshan family is only a fourth-rank family, it has many friends from second- and third-rank forces around it.
The fact that Panshan Qingsong now brings up the family behind him means that he no longer intends to continue arguing with Ye Li, but instead uses his own background to forcibly "prove" that he is right.
Hearing Panshan Qingsong's words, Ye Li finally smiled.
What he was waiting for was Panshan Qingsong to use his background to pressure others. In this way, even if he used the background of the Foundry Hall to fight back, it would not seem like bullying.
"Humph, what do you mean by that? Are you planning to use your family to pressure us? The fact that there is a Heaven-level weaponsmith in your family proves that what you just said is reasonable?"
Ye Li deliberately asked back.
Panshan Qingsong looked at Ye Li and sneered, "Yes, you are right, there is a heavenly-level weaponsmith in my family, so what I just said makes sense.
If you don’t believe me, ask the three judges. If I ask our ancestors to judge, whose side will they side with?”
While Panshan Qingsong was speaking, he glanced at Yuan Bugui and the other two who were sitting next to him.
Yuan Bugui and the other two cursed in their hearts and did not dare to respond. They just turned their eyes away and pretended to look elsewhere.
As judges, they should have come out in a timely and fair review, but after knowing Panshan Qingsong's background, they dared not stand up and speak, and could only let things develop naturally.
Seeing that the three people did not dare to look him in the face, Panshan Qingsong raised his lips slightly and said, "Look, the judges did not object to me. It seems that they also agreed with my statement."
Ye Li looked at Panshan Qingsong deeply, nodded, and said, "I understand. What you mean is whoever has a bigger background is more reasonable, right?"
Hearing Ye Li's question, Panshan Qingsong laughed, but shook his head and said, "No, I didn't say that. I just think I'm naturally on the right side."
In response to his words, Ye Li chuckled sarcastically and said, "If you want to say that, then I, Ye, will try to prove that there is no cheating on our side.
The weaponsmith of our Ye family is called Niu Qianjin, he comes from the Weapon Foundry Hall, and he is the second direct disciple of Master Ou Qianxie. Now tell me whether he can forge this talisman. "
When Ye Li announced Niu Qianjin's identity, the entire square was in an uproar. Except for the people from the Ye family, everyone else looked shocked.
Most people in the martial arts world have heard of the name of Ou Qianxie from the Foundry Hall. Although they do not recognize Niu Qianjin, if Niu Qianjin is really Ou Qianxie's second disciple, then almost no one present will doubt whether he can forge this earth-level talisman.
Ou Qianxie is one of the most powerful weapon-casting masters in the entire martial arts world. Naturally, his second disciple is no ordinary person.
Panshan Qingsong's face was also filled with shock. After taking a deep look at Niu Qianjin, who remained calm and composed until now, he couldn't help swallowing.
However, after a moment, the expression on his face turned into a mocking sneer, and he said, "You are really good at making up stories. You even dragged Master Ou from the Foundry Hall into this.
Your Ye family was able to hire Master Ou's apprentice to be the weaponsmith, do you think I would believe what you said?"
Ye Li glanced at him indifferently and said, "I don't care whether you believe me or not, I'm just telling the truth.
Also, he was not hired by our Ye family. Let me tell you, our Ye family has officially cooperated with the Foundry Hall to jointly run the foundry business.
That is to say, from now on, the Gold Forging Pavilion of my Ye family will be officially renamed as Foundry. If you don’t believe it, you can send someone to the Gold Forging Pavilion in the town to see if we have hung up the new plaque.
I think no one in the world dares to impersonate the name of the Foundry Hall!"
Hearing Ye Li's words, Luo Lishi immediately turned his head and called out to the Luo family disciples below the stage: "Quick... go and see if the Ye family's store has really changed its name."
His face had turned a little ugly. Ye Li was now announcing the news in public, so it was basically unlikely to be false.
Just as Ye Li himself said, no one in the world would dare to impersonate the name of the Weapon Foundry Hall. If the Ye family really did this, once the news reached the ears of the Weapon Foundry Hall, even if the Weapon Foundry Hall did not take action, other forces would immediately do it and eliminate the Ye family.
There is no way the Ye family would risk being wiped out for such a small weapon casting competition.
