Ye Feng and others have already infiltrated the Underground Ancient City and have made their first substantial gain. Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the Silver Moon Secret Realm, Ning Hong and his group are encircling the remaining members of the Zhang Family.
There are only three or four members of the Zhang Family left, most of whom are at the seventh level of the Martial Arts realm. They are not the main force of the Zhang Family, so Ning Hong and his group easily slaughter them.
Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, Ning Hong cannot feel happy. In a previous battle, the only Origin Martial Realm expert from the Zhang Family escaped using a family martial technique and has already spread news about Ning Family's massacre of other family disciples.
Since then, it has not been easy for Ning Hong to find other family disciples without difficulty.
What makes him even more anxious is that two to three hours have passed, yet Zhao Qingyang has not shown up.
"Young Master Ning, these people have become clever; they are hiding everywhere. It won't be easy to wipe them out completely!" a Ning Family member spoke up.
Ning Hong nodded in agreement; Zhao Qingyang's disappearance gave him an ominous feeling.
"Report!" Suddenly, a figure in black rushed out from deep within the forest.
"Speak!" Ning Hong frowned.
"Reporting to Young Master, Ye Zhan from the Ye Family has discovered our plans. He is currently trying to rally the Chen Family, Zhang Family, and some outside martial artists. Over thirty people have gathered together and are preparing to counterattack us!" The black-clad figure knelt on one knee, speaking respectfully.
"I see." Ning Hong said dismissively, "Hmph, a bunch of rabble; with their strength, they are not worth worrying about. But why is it just you reporting? Didn't I send out five people to gather intelligence? What about Young Master Zhao's whereabouts? Did you find anything?"
"I do not know!" The black-clad figure suddenly trembled, panic evident in his expression. "I feel that someone seems to be hiding in the shadows against us. Perhaps... perhaps Young Master Zhao has also..."
"Fool!" Ning Hong exclaimed angrily. "You are among my Ning Family's top spies. Although your cultivation is only at the ninth level of Martial Realm, your tracking and stealth skills far exceed ordinary people. Even an Origin Martial Realm warrior would not easily detect you. How could you lose four at once? Go investigate again! If you don't find what I need, don't come back!"
"Yes, I will obey!" The black-clad figure repeatedly bowed three times in fear before entering the forest again at Ning Hong's gesture.
"Ye Zhan has gathered everyone together; we can take them all down at once. Let's go find Ye Zhan's group and kill them all before heading directly to the Underground Ancient City!"
Ning Hong was worried that the mysterious person mentioned by the spy really existed. Even if there were three experts from the Origin Martial Realm at the stone tower, it would be difficult to ensure absolute safety.
More than ten people set off in a grand manner, beginning to search for information about Ye Zhan and others outside the Silver Moon Secret Realm.
The outer area of the Silver Moon Secret Realm was not large, but searching for them was not easy. It took a full day before Ye Zhan and his group were discovered by Ning Hong.
As soon as the two sides met, they immediately engaged in battle without any declaration.
The number of people on both sides was vastly different. Ye Zhan had gathered over fifty to sixty people, while Ning Hong had also gathered around thirty Ning Family Descendants from other locations during this time, which was only half of Ye Zhan's numbers.
The fierce battle between the two sides lasted an entire night. It wasn't until dawn that Ye Zhan was shocked to find that his group of over sixty had been reduced to less than ten.
Ning Hong's losses were not significant; out of thirty, five were dead, four were severely injured, and more than ten sustained minor injuries. Furthermore, four experts from the Origin Martial Realm, including Ning Hong himself, remained unscathed.
Ye Zhan from the Ye Family and Zhang Jie from the Zhang Family were the only two Origin Martial Realm warriors on Ye Zhan's side. Although they had many people, they were merely a makeshift team, and their Origin Martial Realm experts were only half of those from the Ning Family.
"Ning Hong, we have no grievances or enmities. Must we fight to the death?" Ye Zhan said coldly as he looked at Ning Hong in the distance.
"Although we have no personal grudges, you are from the Ye Family and I am from the Ning Family, so I must kill you!" Ning Hong replied loudly.
Ning Hong still held some admiration for Ye Zhan; most of those who died or were injured on his side fell at Ye Zhan's hands.
"It seems your Ning Family is determined to obtain this Silver Moon Secret Realm!" Ye Zhan said with a light laugh.
"That's right!" Ning Hong answered decisively.
"Since that's the case, why not let me lend you a hand? At worst, I can just leave the Ye Family!" Ye Zhan slowly walked over to the panting Zhang Jie and suddenly stabbed him in the back with the dagger in his hand!
Zhang Jie let out a muffled groan as the dagger pierced through his back, striking his heart.
"You, you traitor!" He never expected that Ye Zhan, who fought alongside him, would turn against him. Zhang Jie was completely unprepared for Ye Zhan's ambush.
As he slowly collapsed, Ning Hong beside him widened his eyes in shock.
Ye Zhan's strength was comparable to his own; if he truly joined their side, he would indeed become a great asset.
"Haha, very good. A wise man knows when to yield. Brother Ye is so sincere; I, Ning Hong, of course will not refuse. However, you must guarantee that from now on you will sever ties with the Ye Family and join my Ning Family. With your talent and cultivation, my Ning Family will definitely not mistreat you!"
"Hahaha, Brother Ning is joking. From now on, what Ye Family is there? I, Ye Zhan, will take the surname Ning from now on!" Ye Zhan laughed heartily, showing no remorse for betraying his own family.
The remaining few looked at Ye Zhan in shock; they never expected the situation to turn out like this.
"You few, do you want to continue resisting or switch sides?" Ning Hong glanced at the remaining individuals and said disdainfully.
"I surrender, I surrender!" Soon, several people dropped their weapons. Most of them were outsiders and had no ties to the Ning Family.
"Hmph, you want me, Chen He, to abandon my ancestors' surname like that traitor Ye Zhan? No way!" A disciple from the Chen Family at the Eighth Level of Strength Realm suddenly picked up his sword and committed suicide!
Chen He's actions inspired several other disciples from the Three Prominent Families. They raised their weapons and let out one last roar as they charged toward the surrounding Ning Family members.
"Hmph, a bunch of idiots!" Ye Zhan scoffed without changing his expression.
"Kill them all!" Ning Hong raised his hand expressionlessly and issued the order to attack.
The slaughter quickly came to an end. Ning Hong glanced at Ye Zhan and asked, "Are these all the people you gathered? Are there any other family members outside?"
Ye Zhan frowned, glanced at the corpse on the ground, and said, "Yes, and there's a big fish!"
"You mean your cousin, Ye Feng!" Ning Hong frowned.
"He's not just a big fish; he's a tough one. If I'm not mistaken, your Ning Family must have suffered quite a bit under him. What about that expert who came in with you?" Ye Zhan nodded.
"You mean Zhao Qingyang? He's been missing for two days now!" Ning Hong said with some concern.
"No need to look for him; he must have fallen victim to that kid. I joined you because I want to personally take down that bastard!" Ye Zhan gritted his teeth.
"Impossible! Ye Feng is only at the First Level of Yuan Martial Realm. How could he possibly be a match for Zhao Qingyang, who is at the Second Level of Origin Martial Realm and wields the Azure Dragon Sword?" Ning Hong exclaimed in shock.
"Hmph, I don't know the reason, but although Ye Feng only has one level of cultivation, his strength is on par with mine!"
Ye Zhan immediately told Ning Hong about their tie during the Clan Meeting.
"I didn't expect this. I'm actually a bit interested in this kid now!" Ning Hong raised an eyebrow.
"I suspect he has already entered the Underground Ancient City!" Ye Zhan warned.
Ning Hong nodded. If Ye Feng truly had strength like Ye Zhan's, perhaps the three Origin Martial Realm warriors guarding the stone tower wouldn't be able to stop him.
"Hmph, the Underground Ancient City isn't that easy to breach. I estimate he'll struggle at the first challenge. We should hurry to the ancient city; we might be able to catch him inside!"
Ning Hong grew increasingly anxious. The people he left inside the stone tower were all elite; while they might not necessarily be able to stop Ye Feng, none had come to report back. Could it be that they all fell victim to Ye Feng?
The members of the Ning Family quickly rushed toward the location of the stone tower!
Meanwhile, in the hall of the Underground Ancient City, Ye Feng had consumed four Gathering Essence Pills before successfully breaking through to the second level of the Origin Martial Realm.
"My strength has increased by three hundred pounds!" Ye Feng clenched his fist, feeling very satisfied with his current state. "Ordinary people can only increase their strength by two hundred pounds when they advance a level in the Origin Martial Realm, but I managed to increase it by three hundred. It's a pity that I used more Gathering Essence Pills than expected; Essence-Enhancing Pills are already quite precious, and Gathering Essence Pills are probably even harder to obtain. I hope this time in the secret realm won't disappoint me!"
"Brother Ye Feng!" Seeing Ye Feng stand up from the ground, Ye Ning ran over excitedly. "Did you succeed in your breakthrough?!"
Ye Feng smiled and nodded, ruffling Ye Ning's messy hair gently as he said softly, "You've worked hard!"
"You must be hungry; here, have something to eat!" Ye Ning handed over the prepared rations and water pouch.
Ye Feng quickly began to eat heartily. Before long, Chen Xiaobing also successfully broke through to the second level of the Origin Martial Realm with the help of a Gathering Essence Pill, her aura suddenly changing.
The originally delicate girl transformed into a graceful figure in an instant.
After swallowing the Gathering Essence Pill, Chen Xiaobing not only completely healed her internal injuries but also advanced to the mid-stage of the second level of the Origin Martial Realm!
"Sister Xiaobing, you're so beautiful!" Ye Ning stared at the stunningly beautiful Chen Xiaobing with an impressive figure, unable to speak for a while.
"So this is Chen Xiaobing's true appearance!" Ye Feng was also momentarily stunned.
"Where? Where? Sister Ning is the one who looks good!" Chen Xiaobing noticed Ye Feng's intense gaze and felt her cheeks flush with two rosy spots, making her even more enchanting.
The atmosphere became somewhat awkward. Ye Feng cleared his throat and said, "Let's go; I believe it won't be long before Ning Hong and the others arrive!"
"Two days have already passed; outside, the Various Forces must have suffered heavy casualties!" Ye Ning said sadly, her eyes dimming.
"Boom!" Suddenly, two loud explosions echoed from outside the hall.
"This is bad, they have already arrived!" Ye Feng exclaimed, pulling the helpless Ye Ning and Chen Xiaobing as they quickly fled towards another exit of the hall.
"Boom!" Just as Ye Feng and the others left, another section of the broken wall was finally blasted open by Ning Hong and his group.
Looking at the familiar figure escaping from the hall, Ning Hong's face turned pale with anger.
"The Chen Family girl is still alive; Young Master Zhao must have met with misfortune. After them!"
Ye Zhan took the lead, rushing to the front, while the other three Origin Martial Realm warriors followed closely behind, their expressions filled with concern.
These Origin Martial Realm warriors were brought by Zhao Qingyang, and now that Zhao Qingyang was dead, they would have a hard time explaining themselves if they returned empty-handed!
Ye Feng was fast, but he was held back by Ye Ning. Soon, they reached a cliff.
The cliff was bottomless, with only an Iron Chain Bridge leading to the other side. Just as the three of them reached the bridge's edge, Ye Zhan leaped over first, blocking their path!
