The messenger's name is Zhu Wu, who is the leader of the intelligence team of the Dongdu City Travel Chamber of Commerce.
He has been reporting the situation on Ye Li's behalf these past few days, and Ye Li is quite familiar with him.
Tantai Yunqi knew that Ye Li was the elder of the Traveling Chamber of Commerce, and was naturally a little shocked by this.
Because Ye Li's strength was not only much stronger than it looked, but the power behind him was far beyond what a sixth-grade family member should have.
Although the Traveling Merchant Guild is just a new neutral force, it is not easy to find someone they can regard as an elder.
Anyone with a little discernment can see that the Travel Chamber of Commerce is likely to develop into an organization similar to the four major chambers of commerce in the future.
And to become their elder, Ye Li's energy will not be too small in the future.
In fact, during these many days, Tantai Yunqi also thought about many things.
Their approach of making enemies of the Ye family was indeed too hasty.
He had been saved twice by Ye Tianwu in the past, so he had great trust and support for him, so he wanted to repay Ye Tianwu's kindness in the matter of the Ye family.
What's more, if Ye Tianwu really takes over the Ye family, the half of the mineral vein promised to the Tantai family will already make the Tantai family a lot of money.
With all kinds of interests piling up, Tantai Yunqi chose to go on an expedition to Shanhai County without thinking too much.
As a result, they underestimated the Ye family's strength too much, and suffered heavy losses in the end.
Their strength, which had shrunk by more than half, shrank again, and they finally had to seek help from the Xunxian Cave.
The reason why Xunxian Cave helped them was not only because they wanted to obtain the resources and territory of the Ye family, but also because Tantai Yunqi had promised Xunxian Cave that he would be attached to them after this incident.
In other words, the Tantai family will become a subordinate force of Xunxian Cave and enjoy the protection of Xunxian Cave, but they must provide a certain amount of resources every year.
The Tantai family's current strength is too weak to support their industry and territory.
If there is not enough power to maintain it, it may not be impossible to lose the industry and territory and be divided by other forces.
For Ye Li, although Tantai Yunqi still hated him so much, he no longer dared to confront him so directly.
Because in his opinion, the cost of fighting Ye Li seemed to have exceeded the possible benefits that the Tantai family could gain.
After all, Tantai Yunqi is the head of the family.
His choice to fight with the Ye family in the past was due to his contempt for the Ye family.
In his opinion at that time, the Ye family did not have the strength to fight with them.
No matter how hard they fought, they could pin the Ye family to death on the ground.
But now this concept is changing.
As the leader of the family, he must make the right choice after clearly identifying the opponent's strength.
He had already paid a high price for his previous wrong choices.
In just two months, five of his Tantai family's spiritual talisman masters in the childbirth period were killed.
As a result, they had to rely on Xunxian Cave for help.
Being dependent on others means a decline in one's own status, and a large amount of resources must be allocated every year to protect one's own forces.
When Tantai Yunqi thought about going deeper, he even felt a faint regret.
But it's too late to say anything now.
By the time the Tantai family's coalition forces come back, their plan this time will be considered completely bankrupt.
Another day passed, and the Tantai family coalition forces still did not appear outside the West City.
Zhu Wu, who Ye Li thought would come to report the news to him, also never appeared.
Vaguely, Ye Li seemed to notice something unusual, and involuntarily moved his butt towards Tantai Yunqi.
Once a problem was discovered, Tantai Yunqi would be his talisman.
At this moment, Zhu Wu's voice suddenly sounded from under the tower: "Elder Ye, please leave quickly, the Tantai family has already surrounded this place."
Zhu Wu's figure appeared next to a residential house not far from the city tower.
Just as he shouted anxiously, he was knocked to the ground and fainted.
Ye Li, who heard Zhu Wu's call, reacted immediately, stood up, grabbed Tantai Yunqi, who was also surprised, and rushed out of the tower.
Holding Tantai Yunqi's neck in one hand, Ye Li looked like an ape.
As soon as he left the tower, he climbed up towards the eaves above and stood at the highest point of the tower, overlooking the bottom.
Zhu Wu's body fell not far from the city gate, and the city tower where he was staying was surrounded by more than a dozen spiritual talisman masters in the nurturing stage, plus a dozen spiritual talisman masters in the subjugation stage, and everyone was watching eagerly. looked at Ye Li.
Standing on the roof of the city tower, Ye Li frowned involuntarily and said, "What do you mean now?"

Tantai Cangming's figure appeared aside, his face full of gloom.
The person who answered Ye Li was not Tantai Cangming or Tantai Hulei, but Chu Xian, the leader of the Xunxian Cave Spirit Talisman Master.
"You are that Ye Li, you are indeed a young talent.
But do you know why there are so many talented people in this world, but not many people actually become famous in the end?"
Chu Xian looked up at Ye Li on the top of the city tower and asked with a half-smile.
Ye Li stared at the other party's face, but had no intention of answering.
In his opinion, there was something obviously wrong with the other party's performance.
When Chu Xian saw that Ye Li didn't answer, he didn't get angry.
He just asked and answered: "Hey, there are few people who are famous because most of the talented people don't live to the day they become famous.
Many people don't know how to write the word "act according to one's ability".
They rely on their good talents and don't take the world seriously, and in the end they die.
Boy, I think you are this kind of person, what do you think?"
After hearing Chu Xian's words, the expression on Ye Li's face became even more gloomy.
He raised the Tantai Yunqi in his hand, shook it casually, and said: "He is in my hand, what do you want?"
Chu Xian sneered and said: "Didn't you say that we can deal with you at will?
Then we are here now to deal with you.
We have let go of the Ye family and come back here as agreed.
Shouldn't you also let the head of the Tantai family go and let us have a fair fight?"
Ye Li frowned when he heard this and said: "Do you mean that you want me to fight head-on with a dozen of you spiritual talisman masters in the fertilization stage, plus a dozen or so spiritual talisman masters in the subjugation stage?"
Chu Xian laughed and said, "Yes, that's what I meant.
Since you have said that we will release him if we agree to your request, shouldn't you release him now?"
As he spoke, he winked at Ye Li, with a look of ridicule and contempt on his face.
Ye Li glanced at him, with a sarcastic look on his face, and said: "I'm not an idiot, how could I let him go in this situation?
How stupid are you to think that I will agree to this condition?"
