In an instant, the Ye Family Ancestor was bustling with activity. Inside the grand hall, candlelight flickered, casting a solemn and dignified atmosphere.
The family head, Ye Wenhui, sat at the main seat, his expression calm and his gaze deep as he discussed the future plans for the Ye Family Ancestor with the elders. Just as the discussion reached a fervent peak, a young servant rushed in, breathless and urgent. "Master, representatives from all the major families have arrived!"
Hearing this, Ye Wenhui spoke in a deep voice, "Elders, let us go see what they are here for." He rose and headed towards the door, with the elders closely following behind.
As Ye Wenhui stepped into the morning light and slowly approached the imposing entrance of the estate, representatives from various families in Feng Lei City surged forward as if they had made a prior agreement. They carried an array of congratulatory gifts, creating a lively scene.
Leading them were members of the Sun and Zhang families. These two families were prominent in Feng Lei City. A representative from the Sun Family, a man dressed in fine robes, strode forward confidently and proclaimed loudly, "I have heard that the Ye Family Ancestor has advanced to the Celestial Realm and has enjoyed five decades of life—this is indeed a great joy for our Feng Lei City! The family head has sent me to convey his congratulations. May the Ye Family Ancestor enjoy blessings as vast as the Eastern Sea and longevity like that of Southern Mountain!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a representative from the Zhang Family hurriedly stepped forward with a beaming smile to express his congratulations: "Yes, yes! The Ye Family Ancestor's advancement to the Celestial Realm is indeed a grand event for our Feng Lei City! The Zhang Family also comes to congratulate you. May the Ye Family Ancestor and Zhang Family maintain friendly relations for generations to come and work together for development!"
Upon hearing this, a cold smile crept onto Ye Wenhui's lips, filled with endless disdain and chill. His voice was low yet powerful, each word striking like a hammer against everyone's hearts.
"When my ancestor was in seclusion facing death, you two families truly put in great effort to suppress my Ye Family Ancestor's interests. Those underhanded tactics and sinister schemes—do you think my Ye Family Ancestor is blind or deaf? Hmph! If it weren't for my ancestor's dedication to his path and unwillingness to be disturbed by worldly matters, do you think my Ye Family Ancestor would have let you succeed so easily?"
Ye Wenhui's eyes glinted with a cold light as he surveyed everyone present, as if examining a group of ants. Now that his ancestor had broken through to the Celestial Realm and destroyed the Wang family, it served as a warning to those who had plotted against them.
At this point, Ye Wenhui paused slightly; an undeniable determination shone in his eyes. "Your family head must be restless now? Are you worried about retaliation from my Ye Family Ancestor or about your family's status being threatened?"
"Hmph! Go back and tell your family head that if you wish to investigate my Ye Family Ancestor's background, let your ancestor come here personally!" With that, he strode back into the estate, leaving everyone staring at each other in bewilderment.
Hidden in the shadows observing was Ye Xingchen, who silently nodded in approval. "Indeed! My Ye Family Ancestor's kin must possess such ambition! In this world where strength reigns supreme, power is everything. Those who once humiliated my Ye Family Ancestor now come seeking favor after our rise."
However, neither Ye Xingchen nor any of the Ye Family members were deceived by this turn of events; they maintained their clarity of mind and steadfast stance. The family representatives who felt humiliated returned to their own estates in frustration. Yet this tranquility did not last long before a squad of armored city guards shattered it.
They marched in perfect formation, their strides revealing extraordinary cultivation; all were late-stage Qi Training experts. In Feng Lei City, such strength was enough to leave some small family heads envious. Many among them had only just reached peak Refining Qi stage. Amidst this squad of city guards walked a middle-aged man.
He stood tall with an imposing demeanor; his brows conveyed an undeniable authority. This man was none other than Feng Wuyou, the city lord of Feng Lei City. His arrival undoubtedly shook the entire Ye Family Mansion. One of the city guards stepped forward from the ranks with steady steps toward the entrance where guards stood watch.
With unwavering determination in his gaze and an authoritative tone that brooked no argument, he declared: "I am here to report to the Ye Family Ancestor; say that Lord Feng Wuyou has come to pay a visit."
The guard's expression changed instantly; he quickly bowed respectfully before hurrying inside. He understood that this visit from the city lord was significant. The atmosphere within the entire Ye Family Mansion became tense as everyone felt an unusual pressure.
Feng Wuyou stood quietly at the estate's entrance with deep-set eyes that seemed capable of seeing through everything. His arrival was not only a test for the Ye Family Ancestor but also indicated a subtle shift in the power dynamics within Feng Lei City.
Before long, that guard emerged again respectfully stating: "Lord Feng Wuyou, my ancestor invites you in." Upon hearing this, Feng Yun Ya raised an eyebrow slightly before striding confidently inside; his silhouette cast a long shadow under the sunlight—imposing and dignified.
However, just as the city guards intended to follow their lord inside, they were stopped by the guards at the entrance. "The ancestor has instructed that only Lord Feng may enter," came their calm yet firm response without any hint of wavering.
The city guards exchanged glances filled with reluctance; they understood how important this visit was but dared not defy the orders of the Ye Family Ancestor. Just as they contemplated forcing their way in, Feng Yun Ya’s voice came softly: "You all wait here."
Though reluctant at heart, they could only comply helplessly with an acknowledgment before standing guard outside.
Feng Yun Ya proceeded alone along a stone-paved path through lush greenery until he finally arrived at Ye Xingchen’s large courtyard. Inside was filled with fragrant flowers and melodious birdsong—a scene of tranquility and harmony.
Ye Xingchen sat by an ancient stone table, holding a delicate teapot, completely absorbed in brewing tea. His movements were skilled and graceful, as if every detail contained endless charm.
Feng Yun Ya entered the courtyard, his gaze landing on Ye Xingchen. He slowly approached the stone table and said softly, "Ye Laozu, you truly seem at ease. The entire Feng Lei City is in an uproar because of you, yet here you are, leisurely enjoying your tea."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xingchen lifted his head and looked at Feng Yun Ya with gentle eyes. Through the Breaking Void Eye, he gathered information about Feng Wuyou: Name: Feng Wuyou; Strength: Celestial Realm Level Six; Martial Skill: High-Grade Profound Fire Slash; Affiliated Power: Tianfeng County King Chen Canghai.
To his surprise, Feng Wuyou was indeed at Celestial Being Level Six, though he presented himself as only Level Three. If it weren't for my Breaking Void Eye, I might have been deceived. He inwardly scoffed but maintained a calm demeanor, smiling slightly as he replied, "The praise from Feng Yun City is appreciated. I am merely trying to protect myself."
Feng Yun Ya chuckled and said, "I have been cultivating for several years, and this is the first time I’ve heard someone say that annihilating an entire family counts as self-defense." He then seated himself across from Ye Xingchen.
He accepted the teacup that Ye Xingchen offered and took a sip. The aroma of the tea was overwhelming and refreshing. Setting down the cup, he turned his gaze back to Ye Xingchen and said, "Ye Laozu, I came to visit this time to discuss a matter with you."
Seeing Ye Xingchen remain silent with his head bowed, Feng Wuyou continued, "Your extermination of the Wang family was rather unwise. The rules set by Tianfeng County King state that while various families may have conflicts, they cannot annihilate each other. Your reckless actions not only violated the King's prohibitions but could also trigger a series of chain reactions that lead to instability. Just imagine if other families followed your example and attacked each other—wouldn't Tianfeng County descend into chaos?"
"Chaos? The Great Qin Dynasty has already fallen apart," Ye Xingchen replied dismissively. "The last Emperor of the Former Royal Family has perished, and the Great Qin Eighteen Prefectures have long since governed themselves independently. We in Tianfeng County are merely at the tail end of it all; there’s hardly any order left to speak of."
Tianfeng County belonged to the Great Qin Dynasty, which was merely a small kingdom in the Northern Region. Above that kingdom was the Holy Dynasty, and above the Holy Dynasty was the Imperial Dynasty. The Tian Yuan Continent was divided into five regions: Southeast, Southwest, Northeast, Northwest, and Central; among them, the Northern Region was the most impoverished.
