The reason Ye Feng has not returned to his family for a long time is mainly because the Dragon Tiger Sect sent several disciples to guard the area around Silvermoon City in advance. They will relay any news as soon as it comes in. Meanwhile, the Ye Family has secretly dispatched many clan members to infiltrate Wudu City to spy on Prince Ning's movements. Therefore, Ye Feng did not choose to leave the Dragon Tiger Sect immediately; instead, he assisted Bai Chengfeng in clearing out the remnants of the Ginger and Li Families still lingering within the sect.
"Thank you, Master. Once I settle my family's affairs, I will return to the Sect at the earliest opportunity," Ye Feng expressed gratefully.
Bai Chengfeng thought for a moment and said, "There's no need to rush. By the time you set off, we will likely be preparing to leave this place as well. In a month, you can gather your clan members at Eastern Storm City in the eastern part of Northern Jin Kingdom. We will wait for you there for ten days. If you cannot arrive within those ten days, we will have no choice but to leave without you."
"That's all we can do," Ye Feng nodded in agreement. After bidding farewell to Bai Chengfeng, he prepared to return to his residence.
Since he had previously joined White Tiger Hall, Ye Feng's current residence was located in the Martial Hall Disciple area halfway up the mountain. Here stood neatly arranged wooden pavilions, originally inhabited by Martial Hall Disciples of White Tiger Hall. However, due to Jiang Shiji's departure, most of these wooden pavilions had become vacant.
Ye Feng walked straight to his pavilion and found Yun Letian and others waiting in front.
"Ye Feng, are you leaving?" Xiao Bing asked reluctantly.
Ye Feng had already informed Ning Ruoxue about his departure in advance; the three had come specifically to see him off.
"It will probably take about a month before we can reunite. Let's meet at Eastern Storm City then," Ye Feng briefly explained Bai Chengfeng's arrangements.
Xiao Bing's true identity is currently kept secret from outsiders; only the three of them know about it. For now, Xiao Bing remains at Dragon Tiger Sect under the guise of Yun Letian's junior sister and lives together with Ning Ruoxue.
"Brother Ye, do you need my help?" Yun Letian, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up.
Ye Feng was taken aback by this and shook his head. "It's just a small matter; there's no need to trouble Brother Yun. Prince Ning is currently preoccupied and should not pose any threat to our Ye Family."
Thinking carefully, Prince Ning was already overwhelmed with the task of recalling the troops dispatched to various countries. Moreover, there was the massive Fengyu Holy Institute that required his attention. Although he had disrupted the plans of his opponents during the Nine Sect Trial, in the face of the looming threat of the demon invasion, such trivial matters should not lead Prince Ning to take military action against Silvermoon City.
After chatting for a while, Ning Ruoxue and the others took their leave, each returning to pack their belongings. Once Ye Feng was ready, he left the Sect directly, only to find Zhao Wan waiting by the mountain path outside the Sect.
It had been several days since they last met. Zhao Wan had not participated in the Nine Sect Trial, and after the trial ended, Ye Feng had not encountered her again. He did not expect her to suddenly appear just as he was about to leave.
"Are you really planning to leave like this?" Zhao Wan seemed somewhat angry, her beautiful willow-shaped eyebrows slightly furrowed, and there was a flicker of fire in her bright eyes.
Ye Feng sighed helplessly, "I know you want revenge, but you are well aware of the current situation. The demon race is about to invade in full force, and the position of Emperor of Northern Jin Kingdom has lost all significance."
Zhao Wan bit her lip lightly and lowered her head as she murmured, "The throne of Northern Jin Kingdom is no longer important for my brother, and it is even less important for me."
"Since it no longer matters, why are you looking for me?" Ye Feng asked in confusion.
"You... Ye Feng, you're a jerk!" Zhao Wan finally couldn't hold back and exclaimed angrily. She stomped her foot and shot him a fierce glare before turning back toward the Sect.
Watching her figure disappear into the Sect, Ye Feng couldn't help but smile wryly; he had merely been playing dumb earlier.
With his intellect, how could he not understand Zhao Wan's feelings? It was just that the current situation made it impossible for him to focus on matters of romance; he had to temporarily set aside Zhao Wan's feelings.
After leaving Mount Luoshen, Ye Feng entered Luo City at the foot of the mountain. He discovered that what used to be a bustling and prosperous Luo City had become desolate and ruined. The residents had already received news and left Luo City ahead of time, heading east toward Northern Jin Kingdom to prepare for crossing mountains and entering Eastern Continent.
Between the two continents lay an endless expanse of primitive forest filled with countless beasts and dangers; it served as a natural barrier between East and West. Crossing this forest would likely result in heavy casualties. These civilians could only choose to rely on powerful factions that had opened safe paths to reach Eastern Continent.
The civilians of Luo City had already received notice from Dragon Tiger Sect to gather at Eastern Storm City in the eastern part of Northern Jin Kingdom before crossing the forest together with Dragon Tiger Sect.
Ye Feng traveled northward, hurrying towards Silvermoon City under the starry night. Along the way, he encountered many people, as well as some Rogue Bandits taking advantage of the situation.
In order to return to his family as soon as possible, Ye Feng could not afford to deal with every Rogue Bandit he came across. However, anyone who crossed his path would not be spared.
After entering the Gangwu Realm and spending half a month in cultivation, his True Essence had been thoroughly stabilized, and his strength had increased once again. Even when facing peak warriors at the early stage of the Gangwu Realm, he was not at a disadvantage. With proper handling, it was even possible for him to kill them on the spot.
Within the entire Northern Frontier, perhaps only Bai Qiufeng, the leader of the Dragon Tiger Sect, and Prince Ning Zhao Jieli posed any real threat to him. After all, both were heads of two major super sects in the Northern Frontier, possessing countless cultivation resources. The Supreme Techniques and Martial Techniques they practiced were far from ordinary, giving them combat power significantly higher than that of typical Gangwu Realm warriors.
With the aid of his powerful True Essence and Wind Control Technique, Ye Feng traveled thousands of miles each day and reached Silvermoon City in just about three days.
Ye Feng did not want to attract too much attention. He concealed his aura and avoided the gaze of his relatives, heading directly to his grandfather Ye Zhentian's study.
"Grandpa!"
Ye Zhentian appeared refreshed and no longer looked as old as before. Clearly, he had made progress in his cultivation and had broken through to the Peak of the Ninth Level of Yuan Martial Realm. He was just one step away from the Gangwu Realm. However, Ye Feng knew very well that this step was extremely difficult to take; many people could spend their entire lives stuck at the Peak of the Ninth Level of Yuan Martial Realm.
"Feng Er, why are you back? You didn't notify me in advance," Ye Zhentian said while writing something on a letter. Hearing Ye Feng's voice startled him, bringing him unexpected joy.
"Come here, let me see what level your cultivation has reached now." Ye Zhentian instinctively grabbed Ye Feng's wrist to test his strength but was repelled by an irresistible mysterious force.
"Was that True Essence just now? You've already broken through to Gangwu Realm!" Ye Zhentian's eyes widened in disbelief. Although Ye Feng had already reached an unimaginable level at Yuanwu Realm Ninth Level during his last visit home, it was astonishing that he had made another breakthrough in just a few months—into the legendary Gangwu Realm!
Ye Zhentian had only recently entered the Yuanwu Realm Ninth Level himself and understood how difficult it was to cross the chasm between Origin Martial Realm and Gangwu Realm.
"I participated in the Nine Sect Trial and fortunately broke through to Gangwu Realm. I hope I haven't embarrassed you, Grandpa," Ye Feng said with a humble smile. There was no need to show off this achievement in front of family.
"Grandpa, how are my father and Ye Chen doing now?" Ye Feng was most concerned about his father and younger brother, Ye Chen. His father, Ye Honglin, had practiced the Breaking the Cycle Technique, and he wondered if his cultivation had recovered. As for his brother Ye Chen, due to the conflict with the Fengyu Holy Institute, he had not returned since the last Clan Meeting, and Ye Feng was unsure if his progress in cultivation would be affected.
"Huh? You came to find me without even seeing them first?" Ye Zhentian said with some confusion. "Your father, Ye Honglin, is doing very well now; he has already recovered to the Peak of the Ninth Level of Yuan Martial Realm and is currently preparing to break into the Gangwu Realm. As for that little rascal Ye Chen, he has been working harder than before lately, probably influenced by you. With sufficient supply of elixirs, he has advanced to the Peak of Ninth Level of Strength Martial Realm. If it weren't for the ongoing family relocation matters, he might have already broken through to the Origin Martial Realm. Why is it that after such a long time away, you don't plan to go see them?"
"I don't have any plans for that at the moment, and I hope you can keep my whereabouts confidential for now and not disclose them to anyone," Ye Feng said. Hearing that his father and Ye Chen were safe eased his mind. However, his expression turned serious. Just before entering Silvermoon City, he had sent out a powerful Soul Thought to thoroughly investigate the entire city. He discovered that although news of the demon invasion had spread far and wide, the number of strangers entering Silvermoon City had actually increased significantly compared to usual. Most of these strangers had considerable cultivation levels and were hiding in some remote houses within the city. Without probing with Soul Thought, it would have been difficult to detect their presence.
"At this critical moment, does Prince Ning still intend to let our Ye Family off the hook?" Ye Zhentian's expression changed slightly as he sensed his grandson's intention to conceal his identity.
"I'm not entirely sure about the specifics, but when I returned, I noticed many unfamiliar individuals with strong abilities. They are likely spies sent by Prince Ning. Most of them are hiding in the shadows; perhaps you are unaware of this, Grandpa, but I can assure you that this time Prince Ning has sent more spies than ever before," Ye Feng said coldly.
"Is that so!" Ye Zhentian was greatly alarmed. There had been a period when strangers in Silvermoon City were becoming increasingly rare, and there hadn't been any movements from Prince Ning's side. The entire Ye Family had been rapidly improving their cultivation due to practicing the Separation of Fire Technique, leading Ye Zhentian to lower his guard. He never expected that even more spies had infiltrated the city.
The Northern Border Four Nations were located in the northern part of Northern Jin Kingdom. Ye Feng had heard directly from Zhou Jun about Prince Ning's military actions against these four nations while in Qiu Yang Secret Realm; thus, it was undoubtedly true.
Silvermoon City of the Ye Family was situated on the Northern Borderline of Northern Jin Kingdom. Although Prince Ning's army quietly departed from Northern Borderline without attacking Silvermoon City as they passed by, they did so to maintain secrecy during their march.
Now, due to the Ancient Demon Lord and the demon invasion, Prince Ning was forced to recall all deployed troops. These troops would inevitably return to Northern Borderline and might very well deal with Silvermoon City as an additional task at that time.
