Fortunately, Linyue Town is not far from Silvermoon City. In just three days, Ye Feng was able to see the city gates of Silvermoon City from a distance.
The familiar city walls stood at the end of the desert, but they were old and dilapidated. However, for a small desert town like Silvermoon City, the walls were not very useful.
Ye Feng dismounted and entered the city, walking along the familiar streets as memories of the past flooded his mind.
Although these memories came from another person's experiences, Ye Feng had long since integrated them, allowing him to empathize deeply.
Silvermoon City was much smaller than Luo City. Inside, two main roads intersected in a cross shape, leading to four city gates in the east and north. The intersection of these main roads was the busiest place in the entire city, known as Silver Moon Square.
The city was divided into four parts by the main roads, each governed by one of the Four Great Families: Ye, Chen, Zhang, and Ning. The Ning Family was the ruling family, so in addition to managing a quarter of the city's streets, they also had jurisdiction over Silver Moon Square and its surrounding streets, including tax rights.
Surrounding Silver Moon Square was a square-shaped street known as Main Street, filled with shops and bustling activity; it was the most prosperous area in Silvermoon City. The four streets leading to the four city gates were referred to as East Nanxi North Streets but were far less lively than Main Street.
The Ye Family Mansion was located in the central area of East Street.
Ye Feng led his horse slowly through the market on Main Street.
At that moment, it was morning—the peak time for the early market on Main Street—bustling with activity. Listening to the lively calls of vendors around him, Ye Feng pondered thoughtfully.
"No wonder the Four Great Families appear to coexist peacefully on the surface; in reality, they are constantly at odds behind the scenes. The tax revenue from these shops on Main Street alone exceeds that of all four other streets combined!"
"Hmph, the Ye Family is currently facing both internal and external troubles while squabbling among themselves. It's no wonder they are being pressed down so hard; I fear that before long, even East Street—the street with the worst business—will be taken over!"
As he was lost in thought, he heard cheers and shouts nearby. Ye Feng frowned and looked over to see a crowd gathered about a hundred meters away, seemingly watching something.
Ye Feng did not approach directly. His senses were already far beyond those of ordinary people; after breaking through to Origin Martial Realm, both his hearing and vision had significantly improved. By slightly circulating his Vital Energy around his ears, he could easily filter out various noises and hear what he wanted.
"Are all of you from the Ye Family such useless losers? Ye Chen, your brother Ye Feng is already enough of a waste; he has nearly embarrassed your entire family. I didn't expect you to be so useless too—losing a duel and still trying to avoid paying up! Hand over twenty Essence-Enhancing Pills quickly; otherwise, you won't be able to leave this street today!"
"Zhang Hengyuan, you bastard! My brother is not a waste! You're four years older than me but only slightly stronger; what’s there to be proud of? Hmph! Just wait until I reach your age; you'll see how I deal with you!" The voice sounded somewhat childish—it was his younger brother Ye Chen.
"Exactly! Zhang Hengyuan! My brother Ye Feng has already repaired his meridians! If you dare bully my brother Ye Chen, one day you'll pay a heavy price!" Another familiar voice reached Ye Feng's ears—it belonged to another family member: Ye Ning.
"Enough, Ye Ning, stop bringing up that useless brother of yours, Ye Chen. He's hiding in the Dragon Tiger Sect and doesn't even dare to attend the Clan Meeting. You two brothers are about to disgrace the Ye Family," said a voice that was somewhat unfamiliar but still recognizable to Ye Feng. This person was Ye Yu, the son of Ye Honghai, Ye Feng's second uncle.
It turned out that surrounded by the crowd were his younger brother Ye Chen and Ye Ning. Realizing this, Ye Feng no longer hesitated. He subtly activated his Vital Energy and slipped into the crowd unnoticed.
In the crowd, Ye Ning glared at the three major Various Forces and Ye Yu, gritting her silver teeth in anger.
Zhang Hengyuan from the Zhang Family, Chen Wenyu and Chen Wenhao from the Chen Family, and Ning Peng from the Ning Family were all spoiled youths from the Three Prominent Families. Their cultivation levels were average, but they often wreaked havoc in Silvermoon City because their families supported them, leaving the residents too afraid to speak out.
Unexpectedly, these people who were used to bullying commoners had now targeted the Ye Family.
As a disciple of the Ye Family, Ye Yu not only refused to help but also made sarcastic remarks.
With the Clan Meeting approaching, Ye Ning knew that Ye Feng might return at any moment. Therefore, she often dragged her brother Ye Chen, who had returned early from Wudu City, to stroll around Main Street in hopes of encountering Ye Feng.
The two had been wandering around Main Street for several days, waiting from sunrise to sunset without seeing Ye Feng. Instead, they attracted the attention of several other young masters from prominent families.
In recent years, Ye Ning had grown increasingly beautiful, resembling a budding flower. Zhang Hengyuan from the Zhang Family had long been coveting her. Today he provoked Ye Chen's fighting spirit, leading to a public duel between them.
At just fourteen years old, Ye Chen had already reached the Seventh Level of Strength and showed considerable potential. Currently an Outer Sect Disciple of Fengyu Holy Institute, he naturally lost against Zhang Hengyuan, who was at the Eighth Level of Strength Realm.
Being young and impulsive, during their wager he staked twenty Essence-Enhancing Pills. Now surrounded by disciples from the three major families demanding their pills, he felt pressured.
"If you want to avoid paying up, Ye Ning, agree to marry me and I'll let you go; otherwise, hmph!" Zhang Hengyuan said with a lewd smile as he glanced at Ye Ning.
"You bastard! How dare you lay your hands on my sister!" Ye Chen shouted furiously. With his face already bruised and swollen from previous encounters, he could not tolerate anyone disrespecting Ye Ning, who was one of the people he respected most after Ye Feng.
With a punch thrown with all his might, Ye Chen transformed into two afterimages charging straight at Zhang Hengyuan.
Zhang Hengyuan sneered and lightly shifted his stance while striking both afterimages with his hands, quickly dismantling Ye Chen's attack.
Exhausted and off-balance after using all his strength, Ye Chen fell directly toward Zhang Hengyuan.
"This is your own choice to seek death; don't blame me for being merciless!" Zhang Hengyuan had long been poised for action, leaping high into the air, his legs suddenly clamping down towards Ye Chen's head.
"Coiling Dragon Kick!"
The two moved incredibly fast, and Ye Ning, with limited strength, was unable to intervene in time. If Ye Chen were to suffer this heavy blow, he would likely be gravely injured or even lose his life.
"Don't!" Ye Ning let out a piercing scream, tears streaming down her face.
The crowd watching was in turmoil; many even covered their eyes, unable to bear witnessing the impending scene.
"Thud!"
"Ah!!!"
Another scream rang out, but it did not come from Ye Chen. Instead, it was Zhang Hengyuan, who had leaped up and executed the Coiling Dragon Kick.
Everyone's vision blurred for a moment. They did not know when a figure as fast as lightning appeared before Ye Chen, gently sweeping a palm against the knees of Zhang Hengyuan's legs.
A burst of blood blossomed in the sky as Zhang Hengyuan's legs were shattered, sending him flying dozens of meters away.
Ye Feng's face was as cold as frost as he stepped closer to Zhang Hengyuan like the Grim Reaper.
Zhang Hengyuan's screams abruptly ceased as he looked in disbelief at the approaching figure of death.
"No... it's impossible! Aren't you that useless cripple? Didn't you only cultivate to Fourfold Strength? How could you easily break my Coiling Dragon Kick!"
Ye Feng pressed his lips together and placed a hand on Zhang Hengyuan's Dantian, coldly stating, "You have no right to know!"
He directly shattered Zhang Hengyuan's Dantian!
"Ah!!" Zhang Hengyuan let out a desperate scream once again. From this moment on, he would no longer be able to gather Vital Energy for cultivation, becoming a true waste.
"Ye Feng, he is a member of the Zhang Family. How dare you kill him? Don't you fear provoking a war between our families?" the other three disciples who accompanied Zhang Hengyuan shouted in fear.
"I certainly know he is from the Zhang Family. Doesn't he often brag about being a waste? That's why I gave him the title of 'waste.' What, do you all want to be wastes too? I don't mind doing it for you!" Ye Feng turned around and said with a smile.
"You, you are not Ye Feng; you are a demon, a devil!" The four of them stepped back in unison, leaving behind the moaning Zhang Hengyuan as they quickly fled.
Everyone around was almost intimidated by Ye Feng's powerful strength and ruthless methods. Their gazes toward Ye Feng were filled with awe and unease.
Ye Yu, standing nearby, trembled all over. He never expected that Ye Feng would actually dare to return to the Ye Family at this time.
"Is he really Ye Feng? Wasn't he born with broken meridians? How can he be so strong? That kid Zhang Hengyuan is a master of Yae!"
"Easily crippling Zhang Hengyuan's cultivation; he must already be a master of the Origin Martial Realm!"
Ye Feng ignored everyone else and walked straight to Ye Yu, delivering two hard slaps across his face.
"You are the one who has brought shame to the Ye Family; you have no right to be a Ye Family Disciple!"
After all, he was a Ye Family Disciple, so Ye Feng did not hit too hard. Even so, those two slaps knocked Ye Yu out cold.
Everyone whispered among themselves, while Ye Ning and Ye Chen stared wide-eyed in disbelief at their longed-for brother.
"What, scared? It's just the cultivation of a waste. Remember, our Ye Family will likely face even greater challenges ahead. As martial artists, we cannot show any mercy when facing enemies. If we can kill, we kill; if we cannot kill for now, we must cripple their cultivation. Otherwise, it will be you begging on your knees!"
"Brother, how did you become so powerful? Sister Ye Ning told me about you, but I didn't believe it!" Ye Chen finally came back to his senses and nodded in understanding before affectionately burrowing into Ye Feng's embrace.
Ye Feng was sixteen this year, only two years older than Ye Chen, but due to his rapid progress in cultivation, his physique was already indistinguishable from that of an adult.
"Silly boy, I'm your brother. If I'm not strong, how can I protect you?" Ye Feng said gently while ruffling Ye Chen's hair.
"Brother Ye Feng, have you forgotten about me after seeing Ye Chen?" Ye Ning stomped her feet and exclaimed, showing a reluctant expression.
With no choice, Ye Feng pulled Ye Ning into his embrace.
The crowd erupted in applause. Zhang Hengyuan, who had lost the people's favor, was stripped of his martial arts abilities. The young masters from several prominent families would also be more restrained in the future, making life easier for the common people.
"Let's go; this isn't the place for conversation. We should head back." Ye Feng glanced over the crowd and noticed a few suspicious individuals who had emerged from the crowd, intending to take away the unconscious Zhang Hengyuan.
"Leaving him with a dog’s life is meant to remind your Zhang Family to be more restrained. Don't think that our Ye Family is weak and easy to bully. If you want revenge in the future, just come at me, Ye Feng. I’ll be waiting anytime!"
The subordinates of the Zhang Family dared not respond and, at Ye Feng's gesture, carried Zhang Hengyuan away.
Ye Ning looked tearfully at the departing Zhang Family subordinates and said worriedly, "Zhang Hengyuan's father is Zhang Fengyue, the head of the Zhang Family. He only has this one son. Now that you've crippled his cultivation, the Zhang Family will definitely not let you off easily!"
"Hmph! If the Zhang Family dares to seek revenge, I'll be the first to charge forward!" Ye Chen said as he shook his fist.
"With your brother here, do you still need to charge ahead?" Ye Feng gently tapped Ye Chen's forehead and laughed, saying, "Don't worry; from now on, no one will dare to do anything to our Ye Family."
