Time passed swiftly over the course of a month. The Ye Family Ancestor surged forward like a tidal wave, capturing three surrounding counties in quick succession. Now, they held dominion over four counties, their power and influence formidable, establishing themselves as a significant force in the region.
However, the Qin State's vast territory still included two strongholds, Linwu County and Tianyang County, which had yet to truly fall under the Ye Family Ancestor's control.
Inside the grand hall of the Ye Family Ancestor, flickering candlelight illuminated the solemn and expectant faces of the elders and high-ranking officials. They were either seated or standing, engaged in hushed discussions about the future direction of the Ye Family Ancestor. Suddenly, the loud voice of a guard at the entrance shattered the silence: "The family head has arrived!"
At this announcement, the hall fell instantly silent. Everyone's expression turned respectful as their gazes fixed on the entrance.
Ye Wenhui, the head of the Ye Family Ancestor, entered the hall clad in a black robe, his steps steady and deliberate. He raised his hand slightly to signal for everyone to remain seated and then took his place at the front.
Ye Wenhui's gaze was sharp as he surveyed the room. His voice was calm yet powerful as he spoke: "In recent days, our Ye Family Ancestor's warriors have fought bravely against our enemies, achieving remarkable results. Currently, we occupy one-third of Qin State's territory, and the situation is increasingly favorable for us. Once we eliminate Li Siyuan and his cohorts, our dominance over Qin State will be within reach."
At these words, a wave of excited whispers erupted in the hall. The elders' faces lit up with joy as they envisioned a glorious future for the Ye Family Ancestor in Qin State.
However, Ye Wenhui was not swayed by this excitement. He shifted his tone to one of sternness: "Do not let pride cloud your judgment. Li Siyuan and his allies are not to be underestimated. They command six powerful Kings and have the backing of Qi State; their strength should not be taken lightly."
Upon hearing this, the elders' expressions turned grave. They exchanged glances filled with concern. Seeing their reaction, Ye Wenhui continued: "If we wish to conquer Qin State, we must remain humble and cautious, proceeding steadily. Only then can we ensure that victory ultimately belongs to us."
Silence fell over the hall once more, but this silence was markedly different from before; it was heavy with understanding that the road ahead would be long and fraught with challenges.
Ye Wenhui nodded slightly at this realization, his gaze imbued with an undeniable gravity. He then introduced a masked woman seated to his left.
His voice trembled with excitement as he said: "This lady is a revered offering to our Ye Family Ancestor, appointed by Ancestor Ye himself. Her status is unparalleled, even above that of our highest-ranking officials."
At this revelation, all eyes in the hall turned toward her in astonishment. It was known that those at the highest level within the Ye Family Ancestor were Kings—figures of immense respect—and yet this offering surpassed them all. Could she be an Emperor?
Suddenly, one of the high-ranking officials could no longer contain their curiosity and boldly asked: "May I inquire about this esteemed offering's cultivation level?" The others also focused their attention on Ye Wenhui, eagerly awaiting his response.
Ye Wenhui smiled slightly, a mix of reverence and pride evident on his face as he slowly replied: "The offering is known as Dugu Yue and is an Emperor Realm Expert."
His excitement was palpable as he spoke; when he first learned this news, he had been utterly astonished and found it hard to believe.
Before Ancestor Ye departed, he had left behind a message indicating that anyone facing difficulties could seek Dugu Yue's assistance. Just days ago, during intense battles, when he sought her help, he had indirectly inquired about her cultivation level. At that moment, his shock was beyond words.
After all, which Emperor did not rule over their own domain and command respect? They stood high above others, looking down on all beneath them; who would willingly submit themselves to serve within a family?
