However, Ye Gucheng's response was a hearty laugh, as if he had just heard the most ridiculous joke: "You ants, do you know the heights of heaven and the depths of the earth? A mere King at the initial stage? My Ancestor Ye does not even regard you!" With that, he swung his long sword, and a brilliant sword light cut through the air, instantly cleaving Li Feixiong in two.
This scene left Qian Youyu trembling with fear. He had come with the lofty ambition of avenging his brother, but at this moment, that ambition had been replaced by sheer terror. His mind went blank, consumed only by the thought of how to save his own life. Thus, he fell to his knees and pleaded with Ye Gucheng, "Please spare my life, Young Master Ye!"
Yet, Ye Gucheng did not give him a chance to speak further. He cast a cold glance at Qian Youyu and said, "A coward who fears death can also cultivate to the Feng Hou Realm? How ridiculous!" With that, he swung his sword once more, and Qian Youyu's life came to an end beneath that strike.
On this blood-soaked ground, Ye Gucheng's figure appeared particularly lonely yet resolute.
Within the Ye Family Courtyard, everyone witnessed the Grand Elder's overwhelming power and finally felt a weight lift from their hearts, revealing relieved smiles. The Grand Elder's strike was like thunder; that Peak Noble was crushed before him like an ant. Even Ancestor Ye did not lift a finger. Such strength was truly reassuring.
News spread rapidly throughout Feng Lei City, and soon the name of the Ye Family Ancestor became the hot topic on everyone's lips. People sighed in admiration, exclaiming how profound and hidden the Ye Family's strength was! That Peak Noble, once capable of intimidating an entire region, was now easily defeated by Elder Yejia. How could this not make people regard the Ye Family Ancestor with newfound respect?
It seemed that Peak Nobles were not as formidable as they once appeared! The residents of Feng Lei City began to discuss among themselves with a tone of ease and jest. In their eyes, the once lofty and unattainable Feng Hou Realm now seemed less mysterious.
As for the Celestial Realm—a realm that had once inspired awe in countless people—it too underwent a subtle transformation in the hearts of Feng Lei City's residents. They began to feel that perhaps the Celestial Realm was no longer so distant after all; the gap between it and the Refining Stage seemed to be gradually closing.
This change stemmed from Elder Yejia's astonishing battle. He not only established authority for the Ye Family Ancestor but also sparked a revolution in understanding realms within Feng Lei City.
A group of spies from Feng Lei City moved like shadows in the night, silently returning to their respective factions. Their figures elongated in the moonlight, each step seemingly burdened with endless fatigue and heaviness.
These spies were meant to be the most agile and perceptive members of Feng Lei City's intelligence network; however, at this moment, their faces bore expressions of indescribable hardship.
Atop Wan Jian Zong's misty peak, Tian Jian Lao Ren sat quietly within an ancient stone chamber, eyes closed in meditation as if cut off from the outside world. Yet when his disciples hurriedly entered to report on various matters concerning Feng Lei City, a flicker of concern flashed in his eyes. That look was like dark clouds obscuring the sun, instantly making the atmosphere within the stone chamber heavy and oppressive.
Feng Lei City had indeed become tumultuous lately. Tian Jian Lao Ren slowly spoke up, his voice deep and powerful; each word seemed to carry immense weight. "What you have reported concerns our Wanjian Sect's rise or fall; we cannot afford to overlook it."
Hearing this, his disciples grew even more solemn as they recounted in detail what the spies had brought back: from internal strife within Feng Lei City to subtle relationships with other factions, and even threats lurking in the shadows—each matter weighed heavily on their hearts.
Tian Jian Lao Ren listened quietly, brow furrowed and eyes glimmering with profound light. "Pass it down: strengthen our vigilance and closely monitor any movements from Feng Lei City." Finally, Tian Jian Lao Ren spoke decisively.
