After the Clan Meeting concluded, Ye Feng, under the guidance of Ye Zhentian, along with Ye Honglin and Ye Hongyan, directly arrived at the secret chamber of the Ye Family.
"Grandpa, why did you bring me here?" Ye Feng asked, somewhat surprised.
"Feng Er, if it weren't for you earlier, I might have died at the hands of that ungrateful child. Sigh!" Ye Zhentian seemed to still be immersed in the pain from before. After all, it was his own flesh and blood; he never expected that at the last moment, Ye Hongjian would want to poison both Ye Feng and himself, showing no regard for their father-son relationship.
"Grandpa, if it weren't for you, I would have long been dead at Ning Zhiyuan's hands. The one who should be grateful is me!" Ye Feng said respectfully.
"Silly child, you are my grandson. If you hadn't saved my life first, I wouldn't have been able to rush to save you so quickly!" Ye Zhentian patted Ye Feng's shoulder and said comfortingly, "If it weren't for you, the Ye Family wouldn't continue to exist in this world. You are the great benefactor of our entire Ye Family."
"Alright, alright, there's no need for you two to be so polite. The past is behind us; let's get down to business!" Fourth Brother Ye Hongyan smiled and said anxiously to Ye Feng, "Feng Er, this time your contributions are immense. Naturally, the Heritage Jade of the Ye Family will be inherited by you. However, before that, I have some questions to ask you!"
"Fourth Uncle is worried about Ye Ning's situation, right?" Ye Feng replied with a smile. "Don't worry, Fourth Uncle. During our time in the Silver Moon Secret Realm, we encountered a powerful expert who recognized Ning Er's talent and took her as a disciple to train!"
"A powerful expert? Could it be a senior from the Gangwu Realm?" Ye Hongyan was taken aback. He had originally worried that something had happened to Ye Ning in the Silver Moon Secret Realm but was surprised to learn she had encountered such a great opportunity and was accepted as a disciple by an expert.
"This expert is a woman with extraordinary cultivation that is beyond our imagination. Don't worry, Fourth Uncle; with this person mentoring Ning Er, her future prospects will surely be limitless!" Ye Feng recalled the scenes from the Silver Moon Secret Realm and the beautiful smile of Ye Ning flashed in his mind, stirring a slight discomfort in his heart.
"You have always been cautious in your actions; I trust you. For Ning Er to have such an encounter is indeed her fortune!" A hint of unusual expression crossed Ye Hongyan's face as he finally nodded without saying much more.
Ye Feng's spiritual perception was far beyond ordinary people; he naturally noticed a slight abnormality in Ye Hongyan. However, seeing that Fourth Uncle seemed to be intentionally concealing something, he chose not to point it out.
Previously, he had carefully read through the family rules of the Ye Family and asked Ye Zhentian about it. He learned that there was no practice of favoring sons over daughters in their family. Over the years, the Ye Family had sent many girls to other sects. Although Ye Ning had good talent, she had not joined any sects not because of family rules but because of Ye Hongyan's disapproval.
The reasons behind this were unknown to Ye Feng.
Under the questioning of Ye Zhentian and Ye Honglin, Ye Feng briefly recounted how he obtained the Mystic Heaven Pill in the Silver Moon Secret Realm. However, regarding Xuan Lao's matters, he did not mention them at Xuan Lao's request.
When they learned that Ye Feng had obtained the legendary Mystic Heaven Pill coveted by warriors from the Gangwu Realm, Ye Zhentian and others couldn't help but sigh at how lucky Ye Feng was. However, when they found out that Ye Feng's Meridian could actually withstand the violent potency of the Mystic Heaven Pill, they were left speechless and completely shocked by the bizarre events happening to Ye Feng.
"That being said, during the previous battle with the Ning Family, you took the Mystic Heaven Pill, which allowed you to break through three levels of cultivation in one go, reaching the Yuan Martial Realm Seventh Level. Moreover, due to your unusual Meridian, your strength has far surpassed that of experts at the Peak of the Ninth Level of Yuan Martial Realm. In the entire Origin Martial Realm, you are unmatched!" Ye Honglin asked in astonishment.
"Father is right. If it weren't for Ning Ruoxue, my Meridian wouldn't have exhibited such abnormalities!" Ye Feng was unsure how to explain the changes in his body to the people of the Ye Family and had no choice but to bring up Ning Ruoxue again.
"The Ning Ruoxue you mentioned also shares the surname Ning. Could she possibly be related to the Ning Family?" Ye Zhentian suddenly said in a deep voice.
"Ning Ruoxue?" Ye Feng's heart trembled slightly upon hearing this.
Grandfather is correct; if Ning Ruoxue is connected to the Ning Family that he destroyed, then I would become her mortal enemy.
However, Ye Feng was not afraid of Ning Ruoxue; it was just that since they both studied under the same master, if this relationship became a factor in the future, it could lead to some complications.
"It should not be. I heard that Ning Ruoxue comes from Wudu City in the capital, so she probably has no ties to the Ning Family!" Ye Feng replied vaguely.
"Even so, we must remain cautious. How long does Feng Er plan to stay away from Dragon Tiger Sect?" Ye Zhentian frowned and asked.
Ye Feng shook his head. He knew he hadn't requested much time off from his master, but given that the Ye Family was facing a crisis of extermination, it would likely be a while before he could return.
"Grandfather, the Royal Family of Wudu City suffered significant losses due to the incident with Silvermoon City. Even Zhao Qingyang died at my hands. I believe those from the Royal Family will not let this go easily. Only when the Ye Family is completely safe can Feng Er return to Sect without worry. However, my master is usually reasonable and should not make things too difficult for me!"
Ye Zhentian pondered for a moment but could not utter a word. The Royal Family of Wudu City now loomed over him like a mountain.
Ye Hongyan frowned and said, "I don't know what's going on. A small place like Silvermoon City has even alarmed the Imperial Family of the Capital. If it's merely because of the Silver Moon Secret Realm, then those from the Royal Family are making too much of it. Could there be some earth-shattering secret hidden within the Silver Moon Secret Realm?"
"There are more than ten small secret realms like Silver Moon Secret Realm throughout the Northern Jin Kingdom. Since even the Royal Family has been stirred up, it seems that the Ning Family must have discovered some secret within that realm, which prompted them to seek help from the Royal Family!" Ye Honglin said solemnly.
"Don't worry, Grandfather, Father, Fourth Uncle. As long as our Ye Family stands united, no difficulty will be too great for us!" Ye Feng declared firmly.
"That being said, the next time a strong enemy comes, it seems that only your grandfather and you will be able to handle the situation!" Ye Honglin said with a somewhat dejected expression.
"Dad!" Ye Feng was taken aback. He had noticed long ago that his father's cultivation had dropped to Yuan Wu Realm Sixth Level and had thought that his father was intentionally hiding his true strength.
"You probably don't know about your father's situation!" Ye Hongyan said with a somber expression. "His cultivation is indeed at the Peak of the Ninth Level of Yuan Martial Realm, but for some unknown reason, he can only exert that level of power once within a year. After that, his cultivation will drop to Yuan Wu Realm Sixth Level!"
"Is that so?" Ye Feng exclaimed, his gaze toward his father becoming complicated.
"It's fine. With Feng Er here, I believe those Royal Family members won't be able to stir up much trouble. Do they really think they can send a strong expert from Silvermoon City just for a minor issue? You should know that strong experts from Gangwu Realm are quite rare in our Northern Jin Kingdom; they are all top-tier existences!" Ye Honglin laughed heartily, patting Ye Feng on the back and dismissing the concern.
"Anyway, I've been like this for quite some time. Even though my cultivation is only at Yuan Wu Realm Sixth Level, I'm still confident I can hold my own against experts at Yuan Martial Realm Seventh Level."
Although Ye Feng had grown to this point, it seemed that Ye Honglin still had no intention of revealing the secrets he kept hidden, which left Ye Feng feeling both sad and shocked by the mysteries surrounding his father.
"Alright, alright. The Royal Family just suffered a significant loss and shouldn't send anyone over so soon. Right now, the most important thing is to improve Feng Er's strength. Feng Er, your grandfather brought you here this time to tell you about our Ye Family's Heritage Jade secret!" Ye Zhentian suddenly spoke up.
"Heritage Jade!" Ye Feng nodded solemnly. It must be something significant for the Ye Family to value it so highly.
"That's right, Heritage Jade. Compared to the other three families, our Ye Family has a much longer history. This is why, even though our Ye Family has been declining in recent years, the other Three Prominent Families dare not act against us. They fear our foundation, which is beyond their imagination!"
"Unfortunately, in recent years, although many talented members of the Ye Family, including your father, have entered the Heritage Site and received the inheritance of Heritage Jade, no one has truly benefited from it. If it weren't for this reason, our Ye Family wouldn't have fallen to this state!"
Ye Zhentian clasped his hands behind his back and spoke with a complex expression.
"Your grandfather is right. It is said that our Ye Family's ancestors were not originally from Northern Jin Kingdom. In fact, before Northern Jin Kingdom was established, our ancestors had already moved to Silvermoon City when it was just a small village in the desert. Through years of effort from our ancestors, it gradually developed into what it is today!" Ye Hongyan also expressed her sentiments.
"Then where did our Ye Family live before coming to Northern Jin Kingdom? What caused them to relocate to such a remote desert area?" Ye Feng furrowed his brow and asked somewhat absentmindedly.
"The records before coming to the Northern Jin Kingdom have been deliberately erased by our ancestors. Many secrets of the family are recorded in the Heritage Jade passed down by them, but now, after more than a thousand years, none of us from the Ye Family have truly been able to obtain the secrets of the Heritage Jade," Ye Zhentian said with a sense of regret.
"I see!" Ye Feng nodded, falling into deep thought.
The ancestors of the Ye Family intentionally moved to such a remote place and completely erased any records prior to their relocation. Ye Feng quickly thought of one word: pursuit.
Indeed, only a family fleeing from pursuit would be forced to relocate as a whole. Moreover, according to Ye Zhentian, the Ye Family has had its heritage for over a thousand years, yet each generation is weaker than the last. This means that the strength of the Ye Family's ancestors was actually quite formidable.
So who or what force could have pushed the Ye Family to such a desperate situation?
That ancestor of the Ye Family wanted to preserve their bloodline by hiding many secrets in the Heritage Jade, but he surely did not expect that for over a thousand years, not a single member of the Ye Family could decipher the secrets within it and thus obtain the true legacy of the Ye Family.
And now, a thousand years later, the Ye Family finds itself once again facing an extermination crisis!
"Regardless of anything else, as long as I, Ye Feng, am here, the Ye Family will never repeat the fate of a thousand years ago!"
Ye Feng gritted his teeth and silently vowed!
