Ye Yang felt a stir in his heart and said, "Are they two people dressed in black robes? With the mysterious emblem of the Empire on their chests, and their strength above Earth Realm?"
"Yes!"
Peng Yue'er nodded and said, "That's right, it was a blood-red emblem, bearing the seal of the Great Qin Government..."
"That is Godslayer Manor..." Ye Yang said in a deep voice.
"Godslayer Manor?" Peng Yue'er showed a look of astonishment. "What is Godslayer Manor?"
Ye Yang replied, "A secret organization of the Great Qin Government, probably mainly aimed at searching for the lost relics of the gods. That's why they approached the Fire God Clan, because the Fire God Relic is located within the Tomb of the Fire God Clan. The troubles for the Fire God Clan are likely to be continuous in the days to come."
"This..." Peng Yue'er bit her red lips, her eyes filled with despair. "The Starry Sky Expert has already appeared in Liang City. We have no strength to resist. My father repeatedly instructed me not to provoke the Starry Sky Expert, but now..."
As she spoke, Peng Yue'er glanced at Ye Yang, her eyes filled with intense hatred yet mixed with a complex expression, knowing that Ye Yang had killed Peng Feng, which was something he had to do.
...
Just as Ye Yang was about to offer some words of comfort, a house servant rushed in urgently and shouted, "Miss, it's bad!"
Peng Yue'er met him with her sword and asked, "What happened?"
The servant said, "The head of the Zhen Family, Zhen Jian, has led a group of experts here to visit. It's probably still because of the last incident. They are coming on strong; it seems this time it won't end well!"
Peng Yue'er immediately turned furious, biting her red lips and exclaimed, "The Zhen Family is simply pushing too hard. After my father's death, they are so aggressive; how unreasonable!"
As she spoke, the long sword in Peng Yue'er's hand trembled slightly, flames bursting forth, clearly indicating that she was already channeling True Qi.
This left Ye Yang somewhat puzzled as he asked, "What has happened between the Zhen Family and the Peng Family?"
"Nothing, nothing at all..."
Peng Yue'er shook her head and commanded the servant, "Go, let Zhen Jian in. I want to see what this despicable person has to say!"
"Yes!" The servant turned and left.
Ye Yang said, "Should I step aside?"
"Do as you wish!"
"Alright!"
Ye Yang placed his hand on the sword hilt and turned to leave. His deep red cloak billowed behind him, and his armored figure appeared strong and heroic, which made Peng Yue'er gaze at him with a hint of fascination.
In an instant, Ye Yang disappeared behind the curtain, becoming completely undetectable. This further made Peng Yue'er sigh inwardly; the young man's cultivation had reached a level beyond her comprehension. Who knows how he trained?
...
A few minutes later, a noisy group entered, led by an elderly man wielding a Battle Axe. Eight golden stars floated on his chest; without a doubt, he was a powerful Earth Level Eight expert, the head of the Zhen Family, Zhen Jian, a well-known figure in Liang City!
Behind Zhen Jian were several experts from the Zhen Family. Among them were two middle-aged experts who had already reached the initial stage of Earth Level Seven. There was also a young man in a white shirt holding a paper fan, his gaze frivolous as it roamed over Peng Yue'er’s mature and alluring figure, a lewd smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
This young man was none other than Zhen Jian's only son, Zhen Fan. With Earth Level Six strength, he had recently risen among the younger generation. With Peng Cheng leaving Liang City and Peng Yue'er in despair today, Zhen Fan had subtly become one of the outstanding experts among the younger generation of the Fire God Clan's eight branches.
Peng Yue'er’s face was cold as she asked, "Uncle Zhen, why have you come to visit my Peng Family?"
Zhen Jian smiled lightly, his gaze sweeping over Peng Yue'er, and said, "Yue'er, after your brother Peng Feng's death, you have been shouldering the enormous family business alone. Your uncle is worried that you are working too hard. What do you think about my previous proposal? If you and my son Zhen Fan were to marry, it would secure the position of the Peng Family's leader in the Fire God Clan. Our Zhen Family and Peng Family joining forces might allow us to confront Ye Yang and avenge your father!"
Peng Yue'er glanced at Zhen Fan, only to see him licking his lips with a rather frivolous expression, which made her feel even more disgusted. She couldn't help but coldly reply, "Uncle, you also said that Zhen Fan is your son. How could I marry someone like him?"
"You!"
Zhen Jian's gaze turned cold as he said, "Peng Yue'er, don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. Although your cultivation is much higher than Zhen Fan's, don't forget that the current Peng Family is not what it used to be. With Peng Feng dead and Peng Cheng missing, all four of the Peng Family's experts have been killed by Ye Yang. Besides you, there isn't another Earth Level Six expert in the Peng Family. How do you expect to stand firm in the Fire God Clan and command the other seven families?"
Peng Yue'er bit her lip, her shoulders trembling with anger, but she had no words to retort.
Zhen Jian, cunning and shrewd, chuckled and softened his tone, saying, "Yue'er, I know you are a strong-willed girl, but one person cannot support the entire Fire God Clan. You either marry Zhen Fan or withdraw from the Fire God Altar and relinquish the position of the Peng Family leader. Only someone capable can lead the Fire God Clan."
With fury in her eyes, Peng Yue'er declared, "I will repeat myself: I will not marry your son and I will not give up the Peng Family. You can dream if you think I will abandon my father's wishes!"
At the same time, the steward beside Peng Yue'er urged True Qi and sternly said, "Zhen Jian, don't forget your identity. As the head of the Zhen Family, how can you threaten our young lady like this?"
"Impudence!"
Zhen Jian shouted lowly and suddenly moved, striking the steward's cheek with lightning speed. Blood splattered everywhere as the steward fell to the ground with blood on his face and several teeth knocked out. Zhen Jian's attack was swift and merciless; it was truly brutal.
Peng Yue'er stood there in shock; Zhen Jian had already reached the Peak of Earth Level Eight, looming over her. Not to mention the steward; even she feared she couldn't escape from Zhen Jian's oppressive grasp!
Beside Zhen Jian, Zhen Fan waved a paper fan with a hint of mockery in his eyes and said with a smile, "Yue'er, stop struggling. Being my woman wouldn't be a disgrace to you. Although I already have a legitimate wife and three concubines, if you agree to marry me, I will immediately divorce that woman and make you my main wife!"
"Get lost!"
Peng Yue'er revealed a look of disdain in her eyes and showed no signs of backing down.
Zhen Jian's gaze turned cold as he angrily said, "Peng Yue'er, you are humiliating yourself!"
As he spoke, Zhen Jian's True Qi surged throughout his body, and with a single palm strike from above, the Fire God Power erupted, illuminating the entire hall. This strike was immensely powerful, and with Peng Yue'er's abilities, she could not possibly withstand it. Zhen Jian's intention was to subdue Peng Yue'er with this blow, thus saving himself a lot of trouble.
...
Peng Yue'er looked horrified but was powerless to act; even her body was immobilized under his Pressure. She could only raise her arm and forcefully channel her True Qi to shield herself, knowing she was on the brink of destruction.
At that moment, a vast aura rippled around them, causing Zhen Jian's raised arm to freeze in mid-air. The fierce demeanor he had vanished completely, replaced by surprise and fear in his eyes.
In the darkness, a blood-red Cloak fluttered slightly. A young man clad in armor descended gracefully from above, enveloped in Pressure that rendered Zhen Jian unable to move an inch.
"Ye... Ye Yang..."
Zhen Jian trembled as he uttered these words but could not say anything further.
Ye Yang wore a faint smile on his handsome face. "Uncle Zhen, it's been a while. I didn't expect you to become even more shameless and despicable. Today, running into you is your bad luck!"
With that, Ye Yang suddenly struck out, his palm infused with the powers of Dragon Qi and Wilderness Thunder, effortlessly slashing down onto Zhen Jian's raised arm!
"Crack!"
With a crisp sound, Zhen Jian's face turned pale as his entire arm was severed by Ye Yang. The blood did not have time to gush out before the lightning power cauterized the wound.
"Thud..."
A Severed Arm fell to the ground as Ye Yang floated down. He stomped down hard on the severed limb, instantly crushing it into pieces, blood splattering everywhere!
Zhen Jian staggered backward until he collided with the wall, finally regaining his senses. He let out a beast-like roar, his eyes blood-red, and shouted fiercely, “Ye Yang, how dare you hurt me!”
Ye Yang remained unfazed, raising his hand to draw the Divine Weapon True Fire Sword from behind him, and calmly said, “Not only will I hurt you, but what’s stopping me from killing you? With a disgrace like you in the Fire God Clan, it’s a shame to our lineage!”
Zhen Jian turned pale, leaning against the wall, unable to utter a single word!
It was Zhen Fan, unaware of the situation's gravity, who shouted angrily, “Ye Yang, if you dare to harm my father, I will take your life!”
With one arm raised, Zhen Fan summoned the Fire God Power, and unleashed a Rending Sky Fist, a martial skill of Earth Level Six, powerful and imposing!
Unfortunately for him, his opponent was Ye Yang, a master at the peak of Earth Level Nine. How could he fear a mere Earth Level Six kid?
Ye Yang smiled lightly, his body swaying back effortlessly. He suddenly lifted his left leg and delivered a heavy kick to the underside of Zhen Fan's arm. With a crack, the force of the kick shattered Zhen Fan's arm. Screaming in agony, Zhen Fan staggered back, collapsing beside his father.
……
Looking at the pair of cowardly father and son, Ye Yang coldly stated, “I killed Peng Feng to avenge my father’s death, but I hold no enmity towards the Peng Family. From now on, Peng Yue'er will be the leader of the Fire God Clan. Her commands must be obeyed by all; otherwise, you will be my enemy. Now leave; do not let me see you causing trouble within your clan. Otherwise, do not blame me for erasing your Zhen Family from the Fire God Eight Clans!”
