Chapter 59

Six people quickly engaged in a fierce battle, with two people on average facing one person. With both sides being evenly matched, the Yun family soon gained the upper hand. Yun Qiu swung his sword at the young man from the Ye family, and with another person assisting, the young man could not avoid it.

At this moment, a beam of light flashed, like a streak of light, striking Yun Qiu's long sword and producing a clear sound.

"Who, who attacked me!" The long sword was deflected, slicing past the young man from the Ye family. Yun Qiu roared in anger.

Looking at the long sword in his hand, he found a pebble embedded in it. Yun Qiu's face changed; the person who struck must be very powerful to deflect a long sword with a pebble, which was not something an ordinary person could do.

The surroundings were quiet, with no one responding. The battle came to a halt, and the two people from the Ye family also looked puzzled.

"Who is the great master? Why not show yourself? If I have offended you, I will apologize to you, Senior!"

Yun Qiu's eyes flickered as he continued to look around. He was afraid of offending someone he shouldn't or encountering a powerful person. His tone changed, no longer the arrogant one from before, but with a hint of caution.

"I am not a great master, but I just couldn't stand your actions!" Ye Feng did not hide and walked over from a distance, wearing purple clothes, his steps light, approaching slowly.

"Ye Feng, is that you?" The young man from the Ye family also looked at Ye Feng.

Ye Feng nodded. This young man was not unfamiliar to him; he was the one who had冒险给叶枫送过消息, named Ye Qiu, who had grown up with Ye Feng.

In recent times, Ye Feng had undergone a tremendous transformation, both in appearance and demeanor. Although his features were still recognizable, Ye Qiu had to look several times to recognize him.

"What happened?" Ye Feng asked Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu recounted the entire story. It turned out that he and Ye Lan had gone to a nearby mountain range for training and were ambushed by four people, forcing them to retreat to this place.

Ye Feng glanced at Yun Qiu and the other four. His sharp gaze made Yun Qiu dare not meet his eyes. Ye Feng's name was known to him; the news of his victory over Yun Cai Shi at the Tian Ling Academy had already reached the Yun family.

Now, the four of them looked afraid. Although they had not seen Ye Feng's strength, they knew Yun Cai Shi's. Yun Cai Shi, an elite disciple of the Tian Ling Outer Academy, had been defeated by Ye Feng, and they were only at the Seventh Level of the Later Heaven stage.

"Each of you, cripple one arm, and you can leave!" Ye Feng said calmly, as if he were a judge pronouncing a verdict. The four of them turned pale, their expressions uncertain.

"Why should we? Don't think our Yun family is afraid of you. I'll tell you, sooner or later, our Yun family will destroy your Ye family!" Yun Qiu roared in anger.

The Yun family was stationed in Luo City, just a hundred miles from Huang City. These two families were the most powerful within a hundred miles, so conflicts were inevitable, leading to grudges and eventually to the killing of disciples.

"Is that so? But you won't see that day!"

A hint of anger flashed in Ye Feng's eyes. He had originally planned to cripple one arm and let them go, but these four were stubborn and still thought of destroying the Ye family. Ye Feng would not let them off.

Feeling the naked killing intent from Ye Feng, the four exchanged glances, drew their weapons, and attacked Ye Feng together, hoping to defeat him with a combined strike.

"Be careful, Ye Feng!"

Ye Qiu, seeing the four attack together, quickly warned and drew his sword to join the battle.

"A bunch of rabble, let you know what true strength is!"

Ye Feng sneered, lightly punching forward, creating a path that tightly enveloped the four. The force of the punch suddenly intensified, striking the four bodies fiercely.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Four explosions echoed in the air, a spray of blood rained down, mixing with flesh. The four bodies were shattered by Ye Feng's punch, none of them intact.

"Ugh!" Ye Lan, being a woman, seeing such a gruesome death, retched and turned away, unable to look.

Ye Qiu was stunned in place. He had intended to join the battle but was amazed that Ye Feng had resolved the four with a single punch, almost effortlessly.

"Ye Feng, your strength is terrifying. Did the family head know you were back?" Ye Qiu asked, recovering from his shock.

"Not yet. What are your plans? Are you continuing your training?" Ye Feng asked.

"No, we were heading back anyway. Let's return to the family together."

The three of them set off for Huang City. By the time it was almost dark, they finally stepped through the gates of the Ye family.

The news of Ye Feng's return quickly spread, and almost the entire family knew. The once-worthless person who couldn't cultivate had returned after two months, for the second time.

Seeing his son return, Ye Wu and Ye Feng's mother's eyes flickered. The mother hugged him tightly, expressing her longing.

"Xue'er, prepare some good dishes for the evening. Feng'er is back, and we should celebrate properly," Ye Feng's mother said to the maid.

The last time he returned, Ye Feng had been in a hurry to participate in the Inner Academy competition and had only stayed for two days before returning to the Tian Ling Academy. This time, he planned to spend more time with his parents. Over the past three years, Ye Feng had spent most of his time at the academy, feeling he owed his parents a lot.

In another courtyard of the Ye family, four or five men gathered, apparently discussing something important.

"Father, our opportunity has come. If we join forces with a few elders to impeach the family head and take the chance to kill this waste, the position of family head will naturally fall to our line," Ye Hu said with hatred to Ye Wen.

"Hmm, we need to plan this carefully. We cannot leave any evidence, as there are still many in the family who support Ye Wu," Ye Wen nodded. They could not miss this opportunity.

"Father, don't worry. I will handle the elders. If I promise them resources for cultivation and even help their descendants enter the Da Luo Academy, it shouldn't be a problem," Ye Long spoke up.

"Excellent. These old fossils can no longer advance in their lives. If you give them a mirage, they will likely side with us," Ye Wen said quickly.

"Uncle, you are right. It is difficult for us elders to improve. If you can find resources to help us advance, all ten elders will support you. With your current status, it shouldn't be difficult. After all, you are a disciple of the Da Luo Inner Academy and at the Innate stage. Such a promise, they cannot refuse," the Seventh Elder, who supported Ye Wen, said.

"Very well, it's settled. I will visit each elder in the next few days. In five days, we will convene the ancestral hall and impeach the family head." Ye Long exuded a powerful aura, his innate qi suppressing the others in the room.

Laughter and joy filled a dining room. For the past three years, this was the most heartwarming dinner Ye Feng had had. They ate until late at night, talking a lot with his parents and listening to their stories.

"Father, Mother, I have something important to tell you!" Ye Feng suddenly became serious.

"What is it, Feng'er? Is there something wrong at the academy?" Ye Feng's mother asked, worried.

"Mother, don't worry, it's good news!" Seeing his mother's concern, Ye Feng felt warm inside.

Ye Wu had already investigated Ye Feng's performance at the Tian Ling Academy. Although Ye Feng had tried to hide it, he could not hide the excitement on Ye Wu's face.

"During a training session at the academy, I came in first and received many rewards, including two Innate Pills. I plan to give one to Father and one to Mother. You are both at the Ninth Level of the Later Heaven stage. If you take the Innate Pills, you will quickly advance to the Innate stage!" Ye Feng did not hide his intentions.

Ye Wu and Ye Feng's mother looked at each other, then at Ye Feng.

"Feng'er, are you serious?" They knew Ye Feng had come in first but were unaware he had obtained Innate Pills.

"Of course, here are the Innate Pills!" Ye Feng took out two pills and placed them on the table, a faint innate qi flowing from them.

"Put them away!" Ye Wu immediately put the Innate Pills into a porcelain bottle. Some things should not be exposed.

"Feng'er, do you know the value of an Innate Pill? If the news gets out, our Ye family will be in danger," Ye Wu said.

"Of course, I know. That's why I want you to take them, to strengthen the Ye family so no one will dare to covet it." Ye Feng knew the allure of the Innate Pills. If the news got out, people would fight over them, and the Ye family would be in danger.

"Keep one for yourself, give one to your father. I don't need one for now. I see your strength is also at the Ninth Level of the Later Heaven stage. You will need this Innate Pill in the future." Ye Feng's mother made the distribution.

"These pills are for you. As for me, I have one left."

Ye Feng had not wanted to say this to avoid worrying his parents. If it was known he had an Innate Pill, it would attract many people. He didn't want his parents to worry, but now he had to tell them.

The two of them looked at each other again, amazed by Ye Feng's return.

"Let's not delay. Father, Mother, prepare yourselves. We will break through tomorrow!" Ye Feng was mature, having undergone significant changes in the past three years. He did things decisively.

"Alright, we will prepare to break through to the Innate stage tomorrow." Ye Wu agreed without hesitation.

In fact, Ye Wu had another reason for agreeing. He knew Ye Long had returned to the family, and his purpose was clear: to help his father regain the position of family head. If he broke through to the Innate stage, the situation would completely change.
