In the deep of night on the second day, under a dark sky with howling winds, several figures stealthily approached the entrance of the Ye Family Mansion. Before they could get close to the imposing gates, they were keenly detected by the patrolling guards of the Ye Family Ancestor.
"Who goes there?" A deep, powerful voice suddenly echoed in the darkness, reverberating like thunder across the night sky.
Immediately, dozens of Ye Family Guards sprang into action. Clad in their official attire, their presence was steady, and each possessed a cultivation level at the Foundation Peak. They swiftly surrounded the group of black-clad individuals, creating an atmosphere that was tense to the extreme.
Among the guards, a leading figure stepped forward slowly. His cultivation was profound, having reached the Celestial Realm. His gaze was piercing as he looked at the black-clad intruders. In a solemn tone, he demanded, "Who are you? How dare you trespass upon the Ye Family Ancestor?"
The black-clad individuals exchanged glances before one stepped forward and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect. "We have urgent matters to discuss with the Ye Family Head and hope you can grant us this favor."
Upon hearing this, the leading guard's expression did not soften in the slightest. Coldly, he replied, "The family head cannot be seen just because you wish it so. If you do not explain your purpose, you will not leave Tianfeng County tonight!"
Realizing that their situation was precarious, the black-clad individuals conferred briefly among themselves. Finally, they chose a representative who stepped forward and spoke softly, "We are sent by the Qingyang County Prince with important matters to discuss with the Ye Family Head."
At this revelation, the leading guard's pupils involuntarily contracted slightly. He understood well that the Qingyang County Prince wielded significant power; mishandling this situation could lead to unnecessary trouble.
He quickly said, "I will report this to the family head. You stay here and keep a close watch on these individuals; if there is any sign of trouble, kill them without hesitation!"
The guards responded in unison. The leading guard then turned and hurried away, his steps quickening as he recognized that this matter was far from trivial and required prompt reporting to the family head.
The group of black-clad individuals remained closely guarded by the Ye Family Guards, not daring to move as they awaited the family head's decision.
Inside the grand and solemn hall of the Ye Family Ancestor, Ye Wenhui sat at the main seat, his brow furrowed with deep concern.
In recent days, although reports of victories had been frequent and their enemies fell like dried branches in spring with just a touch, these were merely minor players who posed no real threat. What truly troubled Ye Wenhui was Ku Si Yuan and his entourage.
Ku Si Yuan was cunning and resourceful, closely allied with Qi State—like lips and teeth to one another. If Qi State were swayed by him to send more elite troops to assist in battle, then the situation facing Ye Family Ancestor would undoubtedly become increasingly difficult and unpredictable.
Moreover, Ye Wenhui harbored another uncertainty: he was still unaware of Ye Xingchen's true strength. If he knew about Ye Xingchen's hidden cultivation level, how could he remain so hesitant and indecisive?
All of this was intentional on Ye Xingchen's part. He understood that if he had to intervene personally in every matter, then the descendants of Ye Family Ancestor would struggle to gain real experience and growth; ultimately resulting in a generation of pampered youths who would be easily defeated.
Thus, he chose to conceal his brilliance and observe from the shadows, allowing Ye Family Ancestor's descendants to hone themselves through trials so that they could stand independently in the future.
Just as Ye Wenhui fell into deep thought, hurried footsteps echoed from outside the hall. A guard rushed forward and reported breathlessly, "Family Head, several black-clad individuals have arrived outside claiming to be envoys sent by Tianyang County Prince."
Ye Wenhui's expression shifted slightly upon hearing this; he then said in a low voice, "Let them in." The guard complied and left. The hall returned to its previous tranquility but was thick with an air of impending tension.
Before long, several black-clad individuals were brought before Ye Wenhui. He waved his sleeve lightly to dismiss all attendants except for their leader who stood before him. The atmosphere grew heavy and solemn.
Finally, the leader spoke up with a barely perceptible tremor in his voice: "Ye Family Head, my Duke has sent me here with intentions of loyalty."
