Chapter 1627: Chapter 1616: Meeting Old Acquaintances
The entire forest was silent.
To be honest, Ye Chenfeng wasn’t someone who liked to show off, but in this world, there were always idiots forcing him to do so, making him flaunt his prowess.
Ye Chenfeng was currently on his way back to Ye Gate to check on the situation. After that, he had to enter the Dragon Origin Secret Realm. He really didn’t want to waste time on such trash.
Ding Guangda’s two subordinates, both in the Divine Thought Realm, were dumbstruck.
Just moments ago, they were saying that Ye Chenfeng was unlucky to appear here and that even with such strength, he was still a weakling.
Yet, this “weakling” in their words had just completely crippled their master Ding Guangda with a single move?
Suddenly, they felt the world had gone mad.
Ding Guangda, whose meridians were shattered, was lying on the ground, barely clinging to life. The viciousness on his face had vanished completely. He mustered all his strength and said, “This, this brother, it was a misunderstanding just now, truly a misunderstanding. You can leave now; I won’t stop you.”
Holding the Black Xuan Sword, Ye Chenfeng looked at Ding Guangda as if he were a fool and calmly said, “What do you mean by that? You won’t stop me? Do you even have the power to stop me? Now you realize it was a misunderstanding? What were you doing earlier? Weren’t you trying to send me to Yama’s Palace?”
“Since you like Yama’s Palace so much, let me send you there!”
The Black Xuan Sword in Ye Chenfeng’s hand thrust towards Ding Guangda’s neck. Ding Guangda’s eyes widened like saucers. His body couldn’t move at all, and he urgently said, “Do you know who I am? Our Ding family are direct lineage of the Great Elder of the Shuis…”
“Slash!”
The Black Xuan Sword in Ye Chenfeng’s hand directly pierced Ding Guangda’s neck. He said blandly, “You talk too much.”
The Shuis?
Ye Chenfeng murmured to himself, unsure whether the Shuis Ding Guangda mentioned were the same Shuis that Shui Ziyan and Shui Menghan belonged to.
After sending Ding Guangda to meet King of Hell, Ye Chenfeng looked at the two middle-aged men in the Divine Thought Realm.
The Earth Profound Realm was a place where the strong preyed on the weak, and Ye Chenfeng was not someone who would show mercy.
Spiritual energy surged within his body.
Ye Chenfeng’s figure appeared in front of the two middle-aged men in the Divine Thought Realm in an instant. Before they could react, Ye Chenfeng’s Black Xuan Sword quickly pierced their necks.
The two middle-aged men in the Divine Thought Realm instantly met their end.
After dealing with Ding Guangda and his two subordinates, Ye Chenfeng placed the Black Xuan Sword back on his back and looked towards Yu Wenxuan and Yu Wan’er.
Noticing Ye Chenfeng’s gaze, Yu Wenxuan and Yu Wan’er quickly reacted, visibly tense due to the intimidating display of Ye Chenfeng’s combat power, which caused their bodies to tighten as well.
Since Ye Chenfeng was on his way back to Ye Gate, he had to pass through Tianyun City.
Ye Chenfeng knew of this Cultivator City, Tianyun City, but he wasn’t aware of who controlled it.
Ye Chenfeng said, “You two, come here.”
Yu Wenxuan and Yu Wan’er nervously approached Ye Chenfeng, with Yu Wenxuan hastily and respectfully saying, “Thank you, senior, for saving our lives.”
Ye Chenfeng waved his hand and said, “Do you know which force controls Tianyun City?”
Yu Wenxuan promptly replied, “Senior, Tianyun City is controlled by the Shuis, who are a Fourth-Rank sect in the Earth Profound Realm.”
This confirmed for Ye Chenfeng that the Shuis mentioned were indeed the Shuis associated with Shui Ziyan and Shui Menghan. In the Earth Profound Realm, only the Shuis belonging to Shui Ziyan had reached the Fourth-Rank sect level.
It seemed that Tianyun City was the base camp of the Shuis.
Since his last farewell at the Ancient God and Demon Cemetery, Ye Chenfeng hadn’t seen Shui Ziyan or Shui Menghan again.
Back then, to Shui Ziyan and Shui Menghan, it seemed like Ye Chenfeng stayed alone in the Ancient God and Demon Cemetery with the entrance sealed. To them now, Ye Chenfeng might be alive or not; they had no idea.
Ding Guangda had mentioned that the Ding family was from the direct lineage of the Great Elder of the Shuis. During the time in the Ancient God and Demon Cemetery, the Great Elder’s eldest grandson Jiang Junqian and youngest grandson Jiang Junhua had died at Ye Chenfeng’s hands.
In the Ancient God and Demon Cemetery, Jiang Junqian and Jiang Junhua had even acted against Shui Menghan, so logically speaking, Shui Ziyan and Shui Menghan should have targeted the Great Elder’s lineage after leaving the cemetery.
Ye Chenfeng asked again, “Is the relationship between the direct lineage of the Shuis and the Great Elder’s lineage very tense now?”
Yu Wenxuan looked at Ye Chenfeng in confusion, then nodded, saying, “Senior, you’re right. I heard some time ago that the direct lineage of the Shuis plans to act against the Great Elder’s lineage, but the Great Elder’s lineage is deeply entrenched within the Shuis, so the direct lineage cannot simply eliminate them all at once.”
Indeed, what Ye Chenfeng suspected was correct. It wasn’t that Shui Ziyan and Shui Menghan hadn’t acted; it was that their direct lineage temporarily lacked the ability to uproot the Great Elder’s lineage.
Since it involved the Shuis, Ye Chenfeng decided to ask a few more questions: “What is the relationship between the Ding family and the Great Elder’s lineage of the Shuis? Why were you being pursued by the Ding family?”
Ye Chenfeng was the savior of Yu Wenxuan and Yu Wan’er, so Yu Wenxuan patiently explained to Ye Chenfeng.
Both the Ding family and the Yu family were forces within Tianyun City.
The Ding family belonged to the Sixth-Rank sect category, requiring only Creation Realm experts to reside there.
The Yu family belonged to the Eighth-Rank sect category, requiring only Ocean Gathering Realm experts to reside there.
The entire Tianyun City was controlled by the Shuis.
For a force like the Yu family, they didn’t qualify to ally themselves with the Shuis.
However, the Ding family had the qualification to ally themselves with the Shuis, but they aligned themselves not with the direct lineage of the Shuis but with the Great Elder’s lineage.
As for why Yu Wenxuan and Yu Wan’er were being pursued by Ding Guangda, the family head’s brother…
Originally, Yu Wenxuan and Yu Wan’er were friends with the heir of the Ding family. While visiting the Ding family, the heir left temporarily, leaving Yu Wenxuan and Yu Wan’er to wander around the Ding family’s back garden, where they witnessed an extremely disgusting old man lying on top of a woman performing “exercises.”
As the ugly old man continued his “exercise,” the woman’s body gradually shriveled up, as if all the blood was being drained from her, eventually leaving behind a corpse.
After finishing his actions, the disgusting old man seemed to need to meditate immediately, leaving no time to manage Yu Wenxuan and Yu Wan’er, allowing them to escape during the opportunity.
Yu Wenxuan and Yu Wan’er clearly felt that the disgusting old man had formidable strength, capable of crushing them with a mere flick of his finger.
Initially, Yu Wenxuan and Yu Wan’er wanted to return to their home, but the Ding family acted swiftly, preventing them from having any chance to escape home, thus forcing them to flee out of Tianyun City.
Upon hearing Yu Wenxuan’s narrative, Ye Chenfeng could confirm that the disgusting old man practiced some kind of demonic power, which meant he was likely from the Demonic Path.
Back in the Ancient God and Demon Cemetery, there were two demonic cultivators who mingled in, and Ye Chenfeng had gathered some knowledge about Demonic Path sects.
Logically, people from Demonic Path sects wouldn’t easily step out of the Netherworld Ghost Domain. Even if they did, they would act extremely discreetly, yet someone from the Demonic Path sect appeared in Tianyun City’s Ding family. The person was likely controlling the Ding family.
This gave Ye Chenfeng a vague sense of unease.
Given that Tianyun City was the Shuis’ base camp, Ye Chenfeng had some rapport with the Shui sisters, so perhaps he should visit some old acquaintances.
With people from the Demonic Path sect inexplicably appearing in Tianyun City, Ye Chenfeng needed to warn the Shui sisters.
Of course, Ye Chenfeng wasn’t aware that in about five months, Demon Emperor Xue Tian was about to awaken.
Along with Demon Emperor Xue Tian and the ten Demon Generals.
The Righteous Path and the Demonic Path in the Earth Profound Realm were likely to face an unprecedented great battle once again.
