In the evening, the Azure Thunder Merchant Association's convoy delivered a batch of supplies, including various tools and a new set of furnaces, all essential for the Forge. Many of the tools in the Ye Family Forge had been severely damaged during the recent fierce battle, and the Azure Thunder Merchant Association had truly gone all out to assist.
Clearly, Lei Xiaodie had placed a significant bet on Ye Yang. She believed that this young man would surely achieve remarkable feats in Liang City and even elevate the Azure Thunder Merchant Association's reputation within the empire!
Meanwhile, on the ground above the Forge, the Ye Family Mansion also began its reconstruction. Lei Xiaodie dispatched nearly a hundred workers to help. For this, Ye Yang brewed tea and served it to Lei Xiaodie, making her smile with delight.
"Zi Yu, why don't you take a break?"
Lei Xiaodie held her teacup and laughed, "Having the esteemed head of the Ye Family personally brew tea for me, are you trying to embarrass me?"
Ye Yang chuckled lightly, "It's nothing. Compared to Miss Lei's assistance to the Ye Family, this small matter is truly insignificant."
Lei Xiaodie smiled and said, "I remember when Zi Yu only had Earth Level Five strength but was able to forge the Fifth-Rank Weapon Ice Soul Blade and Ice Soul Axe. Now that Zi Yu's Fire God Power has become even more refined and your strength has nearly reached Starry Sky Level, your skills in weapon refinement must have improved tremendously!"
"Hehe, you're too kind..."
Ye Yang smiled faintly, seemingly seeing through Lei Xiaodie's thoughts. He said, "After tonight, I will enter seclusion tomorrow to forge a new weapon for the Azure Thunder Merchant Association—at least a Fourth-Rank one. How does that sound?"
Lei Xiaodie was overjoyed: "Really? A Fourth-Rank Divine Weapon?"
"Yes!"
Ye Yang nodded and said, "Indeed, a Fourth-Rank Divine Weapon. I will not go back on my word. However, you must provide me with enough high-quality ore; otherwise, I won't even be able to forge a Ninth-Grade Weapon!"
Lei Xiaodie chuckled lightly: "Alright, it's a deal! I will personally escort a batch of rare ores to the Forge tomorrow morning. Additionally, if Zi Yu can forge me a Fourth-Grade Weapon, then the Azure Thunder Merchant Association promises to pay you thirty thousand taels of silver as compensation. This too will not be reneged upon!"
"Great!"
Ye Yang laughed heartily. The reconstruction of the Ye Family involved considerable expenses whether it was purchasing land or recruiting servants. Without the support of a powerful guild like the Azure Thunder Merchant Association, he would likely face significant financial challenges.
"Well, I'm leaving then?" Lei Xiaodie chuckled lightly.
Ye Yang did not insist on keeping her, nodding, "No need to see you off!"
"Okay!"
Lei Xiaodie floated out of the Forge's main door and disappeared at the end of the street in an instant.
Ye Yang stepped out of the Forge and glanced around. Directly across was the Peng Family's Forge, which used to be bustling with activity and thriving business. Today, however, it was eerily quiet and lifeless. It seemed that Peng Feng's death had dealt a significant blow to the Peng Family, and it was highly likely that the Peng Family would fall apart during this turmoil.
"Hmph!"
With a cold snort, Ye Yang turned and re-entered the Forge.
...
At the banquet, Ye Yang, Zhang Tianhe, Ye Beichi, Ye Shuang, and others gathered around a table filled with sumptuous dishes, the sound of clinking glasses echoing.
Ye Beichi, slightly tipsy, smiled and said, "Zi Yu, with your current level of cultivation, your brother would surely be very comforted if he knew. After today's battle with Peng Feng, your name will likely spread far and wide! By the way, what happened to Peng Feng's head?"
Ye Yang replied, "After paying respects to Dad at noon, I had someone send Peng Feng's head back."
"Oh?"
Ye Beichi frowned slightly. "What was the Peng Family's reaction?"
"No reaction."
"I see..."
Ye Beichi pondered for a moment. "Zi Yu, what do you think the Peng Family will do next to deal with us?"
Ye Shuang nodded, "Brother, Father is right. Peng Feng is the leader of his clan, and today he was humiliated and killed in front of everyone. The Peng Family will never let us off, especially Peng Cheng and Peng Yue'er. Those two will definitely want to wipe out the Ye Family!"
"Is that so?"
Ye Yang's lips curled into a slight smile, "Do you think I would give them the opportunity?"
"What do you mean, Zi Yu?" Ye Beichi asked, slightly startled. "What are you planning to do?"
In an instant, a chilling killing intent flashed in Ye Yang's eyes as he said coldly, "Although Father wasn't killed by the Peng Family directly, they are still involved. This morning, I killed Peng Feng, but I missed one damned person. This person killed a Ye Family craftsman in front of me; I must make him pay!"
"What?"
Ye Beichi exclaimed in surprise, "Zi Yu, are you going to kill Peng Cheng?"
"That's right!"
Ye Yang smiled faintly, "Peng Cheng hates me to the bone, and I feel the same way about him. Therefore, I have no reason not to kill him!"
"When will you make your move?"
"After dinner."
"Alright, be careful!" Ye Beichi took a sip of the fiery liquor and said, "Zi Yu, you can kill Peng Cheng, but as for Peng Yue'er... let's spare her life. She's just a bit spoiled; leaving her alive preserves the inheritance of the Peng Family's bloodline. Otherwise, the Fire God Clan will lose one of the Eight Surnames."
"I understand this; Second Uncle can rest assured!"
"Good!"
After finishing a cup of liquor, Ye Yang suddenly stood up and grabbed the Iron Sword nearby. It was a weapon made of fine steel but was only a low-grade weapon—tough but not sharp—nowhere near the level of a Seventh-Rank Weapon like the Breaking Flame Sword. However, Ye Yang didn't have any better weapons at the moment and had to make do with it. At this moment, his strength seemed sufficient to kill Peng Cheng without even needing a weapon.
"Zi Yu, I'm going with you!" Zhang Tianhe rubbed his fists together and laughed, "I haven't fought in days; I'm almost going crazy from boredom!"
Ye Yang shook his head and said, "No, Tianhe, you need to keep an eye on Forge for me. I have to go out, and you must stay here; otherwise, how can I feel at ease? There are enemies everywhere in this world..."
Zhang Tianhe smiled helplessly, "It seems that Ye Family Forge needs to cultivate a group of its own experts; otherwise, I wouldn't be able to leave."
Ye Beichi laughed and said, "Thank you, Tianhe, Young Hero!"
"Second Uncle, please don't be so polite..."
As Zhang Tianhe and Ye Beichi exchanged pleasantries, they realized that Ye Yang, who had just been there, had already vanished into the night sky. They could only faintly sense a weak aura that quickly disappeared into the cold wind. It seemed that Ye Yang's cultivation had advanced too rapidly, leaving them in awe!
...
At the Peng Family residence, they were in mourning.
Peng Yue'er cried with tears streaming down her face, while several young clan members wept in despair. In fact, Peng Feng's entry into the Stellar Realm had given the Peng Family members hope that the Fire God Clan was about to rise again. However, no one expected that just a day after entering the Stellar Realm, Peng Feng would be killed by force at the Fire God Altar.
Heaven and hell are not far apart.
