Chapter 1628: Chapter 1617: They Must Die
The Shui family, a Fourth-Rank Sect, is a typical commercial family in the Earth Profound Realm, with industries all over many places in the realm.
Tianyun City serves as the Shui family’s main base.
The entire Tianyun City is naturally managed excellently by the Shuis.
After dealing with Ding Guangda and others and learning a bit about the Shui family, Ye Chenfeng, Yu Wenxuan, and Yu Wan’er arrived in Tianyun City.
The streets were incredibly bustling.
Yu Wenxuan and Yu Wan’er, being locals of Tianyun City, were quite familiar with the city.
Yu Wenxuan and Yu Wan’er brought Ye Chenfeng to a restaurant.
The restaurant in front of them was incredibly luxurious, with a huge signboard hanging above it, reading “Water Moon Tower” in large characters.
Yu Wenxuan said to Ye Chenfeng, “Senior, it was thanks to you today. Please allow me to treat you to a meal! I hope you won’t refuse.”
Next to him, Yu Wan’er also looked at Ye Chenfeng, her cheeks slightly flushed, and said, “Senior, my brother is right. Our Yu family is just a small family; we don’t know how to repay your kindness.”
With the Black Xuan Sword hanging on his back, Ye Chenfeng saw that both Yu Wenxuan and Yu Wan’er had spoken, and sensing their sincerity, he felt it inappropriate to refuse. After all, it was just a meal, and he could look for Shui Ziyan and Shui Menghan afterward.
So, Ye Chenfeng casually replied, “Alright, let’s have a meal first. But you don’t need to talk about repayment—I just happened to take care of a few flies.”
Seeing Ye Chenfeng agree, Yu Wenxuan and Yu Wan’er both showed joy. When they entered Tianyun City earlier, Yu Wenxuan and Yu Wan’er happened to meet their family steward, Uncle Zhao.
The Yu family only belonged to the category of an Eighth Grade Sect, with the highest family strength only reaching the Ocean Gathering Realm level.
So, Yu Wenxuan asked Uncle Zhao to notify his father to come to the Water Moon Tower and briefly introduced Ye Chenfeng as their savior.
In the Earth Profound Realm, strength is revered.
And Ye Chenfeng, with the strength of the Middle Stage of the First Heaven of the Creation Realm, made Yu Wenxuan feel it was necessary for his father to meet Ye Chenfeng and personally thank him.
Of course, Yu Wenxuan was a bit anxious about Ye Chenfeng killing Ding Guangda, the younger brother of the Ding family head, in the woods. He also needed to discuss this matter with his father.
Yu Wenxuan and Yu Wan’er brought Ye Chenfeng into the Water Moon Tower.
This Water Moon Tower is one of the Shui family’s industries, with branches in many cultivator cities.
Of course, all expenses in the Water Moon Tower are paid with Spirit Stones. Normally, Yu Wenxuan and Yu Wan’er would not set foot in the Water Moon Tower, where an ordinary meal could cost them dearly.
…
Not long after Ye Chenfeng, Yu Wenxuan, and Yu Wan’er entered the Water Moon Tower.
In the main hall of the Ding family in Tianyun City.
An old man wearing a black monk robe sat in the main seat.
This old man’s appearance was extremely disgusting, his entire face ghastly, with skin wrinkled into a mass.
All of this old man’s hair was shaved, looking like a monk at first glance.
This old man was the disgusting elder Yu Wenxuan and Yu Wan’er had seen, capable of draining all the blood from a woman’s body through certain acts.
This old man was named the Ghost-faced Monk, hailing from the Netherworld Ghost Domain, with strength at the Initial Stage of the Third Heaven of the Reincarnation Realm.
The Ghost-faced Monk is a loose cultivator of the Demonic Path in the Netherworld Ghost Domain, but he has good relations with many Demonic Path sects.
A month ago, the Ghost-faced Monk heard the news that the Demon Emperor Xue Tian was about to be resurrected.
Upon hearing this news, the Ghost-faced Monk could no longer hold back; he relies on women to enhance his strength, but in the Netherworld Ghost Domain, being full of Demonic Path sects, he couldn’t recklessly practice.
The news of Demon Emperor Xue Tian’s resurrection was undoubtedly a surprise for the Ghost-faced Monk, prompting him to step out of the Netherworld Ghost Domain, planning to act outside first.
The Ghost-faced Monk had now completely taken control of the Ding family, preferring to practice his cultivation technique using women in the wild and in varied environments.
This was why he was inadvertently seen by Yu Wenxuan and Yu Wan’er before.
In front of the Ghost-faced Monk stood a middle-aged man who somewhat resembled Ding Guangda. He was Ding Guangda’s elder brother, Ding Guangtian, and also the head of the Ding family.
Only the Ghost-faced Monk and Ding Guangtian were in the Ding family’s main hall.
Ding Guangtian and the main members of the Ding family had all been poisoned by the Ghost-faced Monk and were under his control, having to obey his commands.
Just now, Ding Guangda’s Lifebound Token had shattered.
Moreover, the Ding family’s servant reported back that Yu Wenxuan and Yu Wan’er had returned to Tianyun City alive, accompanied by a young man at the Creation Realm.
The Ghost-faced Monk’s demonic matters must not be leaked; otherwise, the Ding family wouldn’t have pursued Yu Wenxuan and Yu Wan’er, nor would they want to escalate the situation.
Now that Ding Guangda is also dead, this has left Ding Guangtian with a heavy heart.
Sitting in the main seat, the Ghost-faced Monk spoke in a hoarse voice: “My matters must not become known to others. Those two who saw me must die, and the young man with them now likely knows of my affairs, so all three must die. You figure it out.”
Ding Guangtian dared not have any rebuttal, nodding continuously in front of the Ghost-faced Monk, knowing he had to send Yu Wenxuan and the others on their way quickly; otherwise, once the Ghost-faced Monk’s matters were exposed, their Ding family would surely perish with them.
Ding Guangtian exited the main hall respectfully and immediately dispatched people to the Yu family, stating that his brother, Ding Guangda, had died at the hands of Yu Wenxuan and Yu Wan’er. If the Yu family wished to protect these two, the Ding family would take corresponding actions.
However, if the Yu family was willing to expel Yu Wenxuan and Yu Wan’er, then the Ding family would not extend their anger to the Yu family.
After giving these instructions.
Ding Guangtian also arranged for someone to go to the Water Moon Tower, needing to come up with the quickest and most suitable excuse to kill Yu Wenxuan and the others amidst a crowd.
…
While the Ding family was planning to take action against Ye Chenfeng and the others.
Tianyun City.
In a unique courtyard of the Shui family.
The Shui family’s eldest daughter, Shui Ziyan, and the second daughter, Shui Menghan, sat on the chairs in the courtyard.
The pure Shui Menghan propped her cheeks in her hands, her eyes full of longing.
Beside her, the mature and attractive Shui Ziyan, helplessly shook her head, knowing her sister must be thinking about Ye Chenfeng.
But currently, neither Shui Ziyan nor Shui Menghan knew if Ye Chenfeng was still alive.
Recently, Shui Menghan’s longing had worsened, and Shui Ziyan pulled her up, saying, “Menghan, let’s go to Water Moon Tower for a meal! Water Moon Tower just introduced two new dishes yesterday.”
Pulled up from the chair by her sister, Shui Menghan bit her lip and asked, “Sister, is there still no news of Brother Ye? I believe Brother Ye must have made it out of the ruins.”
Shui Ziyan stroked Shui Menghan’s head; the entrance to the ruins had long been sealed, and the chances of Ye Chenfeng coming out were nearly zero. Shui Ziyan sighed sorrowfully, “Menghan, there’s no news of Ye Chenfeng yet, but recently, a person named Mysterious Young Master is making quite a stir.”
Shui Menghan had heard of the Mysterious Young Master, but she wasn’t interested at all; she just wanted to know if her Brother Ye was still alive.
Pouting, Shui Menghan said, “I don’t care about some Mysterious Young Master; he’s definitely not as good as Brother Ye.”
Shui Ziyan shook her head helplessly. According to rumors, the Mysterious Figure was said to be incredibly outstanding, yet compared to him, her Brother Chenfeng might still not measure up.
Shui Ziyan shook her head and, taking Shui Menghan by the hand, led her out of the room, saying, “Alright, let’s visit Water Moon Tower. Let’s try the new dishes they’ve created.”
