To call Tang Ye arrogant would indeed be somewhat true. Even if he were a top martial artist, challenging a group of Murong elders on his own might not guarantee him a victory, since their combined power could be comparable to that of a Preacher.
But the question is, would they send a group to deal with Tang Ye?
This issue concerns many aspects: the situation of the Murong family, the elders' pride, the result of winning or losing, and so on. If Tang Ye really fought against a group of elders alone, regardless of whether he lost or won, it would not have the intended effect of his plan to awe them. Because if he won, what dignity would there be in a bunch of elders defeating a youngster? And if they lost, they would be even more ashamed.
