As the figures of the heads of the Sun and Zhang families gradually disappeared from the crowd's sight, a shocking piece of news swept through Feng Lei City like a storm: these two historically significant families had unexpectedly become vassals of the Ye Family Ancestor!
Once the news broke, all factions, big and small, in the city were shaken. Although they had sensed something was coming, they never expected it to happen so swiftly and decisively. The sky over Feng Lei City seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, revealing an unprecedented shift in power.
Since the tragic downfall of the Wang family, the lord's authority had suffered a severe blow, and with the ruthless severing of the Wan Jian Sect Elder's presence, Feng Lei City had been shrouded in a thick haze for days. Every event echoed like thunder in people's ears, instilling fear and disbelief.
However, against this backdrop, the Ye Family Ancestor rose with an unstoppable momentum, becoming the new ruler of Feng Lei City. From now on, there would be only one voice in Feng Lei City: that of the Ye Family Ancestor! This voice would resonate through the skies, shaking every corner and causing all to tremble and submit.
People buzzed with discussions and speculations about the Ye Family Ancestor's next moves. Regardless of their thoughts, one fact remained unchanged: the landscape of Feng Lei City had been completely transformed.
In the serene and elegant courtyard of the Ye Family Ancestor, the mastermind Ye Xingchen sat with his eyes closed, immersed in the joy of cultivation. The past few days had felt like opening blind boxes; good surprises popped up from time to time, leaving him grinning from ear to ear.
Those foundation-building pills that seemed useless to him were given away with a wave of his hand to his family. Instantly, the entire Ye Family Ancestor erupted with excitement; everyone was invigorated as if they had been injected with adrenaline, and a lively atmosphere filled their home.
Just as Ye Xingchen was enjoying this peace and harmony, a familiar and pleasant chime rang in his mind—the System's voice quietly announced: "A new mission has been released! Host must adhere to their principles and not join any factions! Moreover, if you successfully repel the unexpected guests sent by Tianfeng Prefecture, the rewards will be quite generous; how much depends on your performance!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Xingchen's heart skipped a beat. The Tianfeng County Prince's Mansion was indeed unpredictable; they acted without warning! But then he recalled that after Feng Wuyou returned home in disgrace a few days ago, he must have whispered into Chen Canghai's ear.
When Chen Canghai heard this, he would surely be furious, thinking: "How dare a small family from a remote town oppose me, a Duke? This is outrageous!" Thus, he slammed his thigh and dispatched Qian Wanfeng, one of the Top Ten Generals, to march on Feng Lei City.
Thinking of this made Ye Xingchen's lips curl into a playful smile as he secretly rejoiced: "Perfect timing! I was just worried about where to test my skills! Since you are so eager to send me experience points, I won't hesitate to accept!"
He dusted himself off and stood up. After days of cultivation and taking some pills gifted by the System, his strength had reached the Fourth Level of Marquis. If this news got out, everyone would be astonished—how could someone advance from First Level of Marquis to Fourth Level in just over ten days? Even storytellers wouldn't dare write such things.
This was also why Ye Xingchen remained completely unperturbed. He felt pleased with himself and thought: "As a man endowed with a System, I must maintain an impressive demeanor when out in public!"
Look at Chen Canghai; he only had one King-level powerhouse supporting him while I… Hehe! Although I only revealed my peak Celestial Being abilities recently as a test run, that was merely a warm-up.
As for those two Ancestors from the Sun Family and Zhang Family? They certainly wouldn’t foolishly disclose my true strength. With my Fate Divine Body combined with Fourth Level of Marquis cultivation, I am living luxuriously while keeping a low profile! Even if someone at Duke late-stage came looking for trouble one day—ha! I wouldn’t be afraid at all; I'd fight back without hesitation!
With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Ye Xingchen couldn't help but smile proudly. He felt like an understated master ready to surprise those who dared to underestimate him. Ahh! Life with a System truly is delightful!
