Ye City

Not far from Holy Pill City, there is a vast, deep green city.

The city sits on a plain. A lush forest surrounds the city. Broad avenues extend from the forest and stretch to the horizon.

"Young Master Ye, we've arrived."

Ye Xinlan stood outside the carriage and bowed slightly to it with respect.

Ye City was once dominated by the Ye Family, a powerful clan in the Pill Domain. However, the Ye Family is no longer the force it once was. Even so, a weakened camel is still bigger than a horse. The Ye Family remains a behemoth in Ye City.

As the rulers of Ye City, the Ye Family occupies the most central area of the city. Within a kilometer radius, the Ye Family manor is located. Ordinary people are forbidden from entering on ordinary days.

Because the Ye Family risked losing their positions as First Elder of the Pill Tower, Ye City infiltrated the other four families with spies. The defenses of the Ye Family mansion were exceptionally tight.

"Hey, Xinlan, you're back."

When Ye Xinlan returned to the Ye Family mansion, she had the carriage enter the Ye Family. Just as she was about to call for Ye Feng, a handsome young man appeared beside her.

"Cao Dan?"

Ye Xinlan's eyes revealed a look of disgust.

"Xinlan, I have good news for you."

What good news do you have?

Ye Xinlan was very indifferent to Cao Dan.

"Never mind, let Uncle Ye talk to you instead." The handsome young man looked at the middle-aged man beside him.

"Father..."

"Xinlan, I have something to tell you. Our Ye Family has decided to form a marriage alliance with the Cao Family. The marriage partners are you and Cao Dan."

"What?" Ye Xinlan's phoenix eyes widened as she looked at the smug Cao Dan. Her delicate face was filled with anger. "I will never marry that scoundrel."

"Nonsense."

The middle-aged man in blue, Ye Xinlan's father, frowned and said, "You know the current situation of our family. The Cao Family is one of the five great families, and it is a perfect match for my Ye Family. Moreover, Nephew Cao Dan is a rare alchemy prodigy in the Cao Family. Marrying him will not only save the Ye Family from the crisis of losing its place among the five great families, but also find you a good family."

"Even so, I will not marry Cao Dan. The Cao Family is ambitious and has long wanted to erode my Ye Family. Doing so would only be like a lamb entering a tiger's den."

"Xinlan, do you still hope that someone can save our Ye Family? For years, you've been searching for a savior outside. I've given you eight years. But what has been the result?" the middle-aged man in blue said helplessly.

"Father, after my search, I have finally found someone who can save our Ye Family from crisis."

"Who?"

"I."

Ye Feng stepped out of the carriage.

As for Ya Fei, Little Fairy Doctor, Zi Yan, and the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King, they did not accompany Ye Feng. Instead, they went to the Starfall Pavilion with Wind Venerable and Mu Qingluan to prevent Yao Chen from going too far and to completely control the upper echelons of the Starfall Pavilion.

"He?"

The young man and the middle-aged man sized Ye Feng up and down. He thought Ye Feng was very young, but he didn't say anything to mock Ye Feng. As the Clan Chief of the Ye Family, he was very knowledgeable. He couldn't see Ye Feng's cultivation level and felt that Ye Feng was like an ordinary person, without any fluctuation of battle qi on his body. However, this was precisely what made it terrifying.

If Ye Feng weren't an ordinary person, young and middle-aged people would think Ye Feng must be a highly skilled master.

"Who are you?" Cao Dan asked.

You have no right to know my name.

"Holy crap, that's insane."

"Get out of here. I'll protect the Ye Family for now. As long as I'm here, I won't allow anyone to touch them."

"Heh, do you even know who I am?" Cao Dan was not angry but pleased, and said sarcastically, "I am from the Cao Family of Pill Tower. Xinlan, don't be fooled. Your Ye Family's crisis cannot be resolved by some random Tom, Dick, or Harry."

"I don't need to know who you are, but your Cao Family will soon know who I am." Ye Feng stretched out his hand and gently pointed at Cao Dan in front of him.

bang

Cao Dan's body exploded, compressed into a cloud of blood mist by the Space Power.

The bloody scene shocked Ye Xinlan and Ye Feng, who were present.

Before Ye Xinlan and Ye Feng could react, Ye Feng flicked his finger, and the blood mist formed by Cao Dan's physical explosion condensed into a drop of blood.

"Using blood as a guide, we search for the shadow of a person."

Ye Feng chanted incantations, casting a magic seal towards the drop of blood in mid-air. Then, with a wave of Ye Feng hand, the blood flew into the air above the courtyard, bursting forth with a bewitching red light.

At the same time, an unbelievable scene unfolded around some people in Ye City. A crimson light emanated from their bodies, as if they had been summoned by Cao Dan's essence blood.

"Xinlan, it's my first time visiting, and I forgot to bring a gift. I'll bring it right away."

As Ye Feng spoke, he squinted his eyes. Ten golden halos appeared beneath his feet, and ten halos symbolizing the Creation God of the Douluo Plane appeared behind him. A gray sword appeared before them.

The sword rippled with energy, leaving Ye Xinlan and her father completely stunned.

Before Ye Xinlan and her father could react, all those in Ye City who had been summoned by Cao Dan's blood essence were instantly killed by a gray sword blade.

In an instant, Ye Feng killed more than a thousand people.

Ye Feng opened his eyes and gestured with his finger. Suddenly, forty-nine more people from other dimensions were pulled into the courtyard by Ye Feng.

"Clan Chief?"

An old man stared in disbelief. He seemed confused as to how he, who had been counting money in his room, had suddenly ended up in this courtyard.

"Third Elder?"

Ye Xinlan's father looked puzzled. He didn't understand why the Ye Family's Third Elder and the other forty-eight clansmen had suddenly appeared here.

At this moment, Ye Feng had already sheathed the Xuanyuan Sword Martial Soul. He opened his eyes and said, "All the Cao family disciples who infiltrated Ye City, regardless of age or gender, have been killed."

"Young Master Ye, did you just kill all the spies the Cao Family sent to infiltrate our Ye City?" Ye Xinlan knew Ye Feng was strong, but she hadn't expected Ye Feng to be this strong. It was ridiculously strong.

Ye Xinlan was unaware that Ye Feng's soul realm had reached the Emperor Realm. For an Emperor Realm expert, their behavior is incomprehensible to ordinary people.

"This is my gift for your visit," Ye Feng said.

Cao Dan dared to insult Ye Feng, calling him a nobody, Ye Feng wouldn't mind getting his hands dirty. He would wipe out all of the Cao Family's hard-won influence in Ye City. This move, as Ye Feng predicted, would surely make the Cao Family realize who he was very soon.

"Then... what about these people?" Ye Xinlan looked at the Third Elder and the forty-eight members of the Ye Family in front of her.

"These people bear Cao Dan's marks. The marks are very clear, and they were left not long ago. They had close contact with Cao Dan. They are all from the Ye Family. As for how to deal with them, that's up to you," Ye Feng explained.

"Had close contact with Cao Dan?" Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, the Third Elder of the Ye Family panicked, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. "Boy, what are you saying? Don't talk nonsense."

"Third Elder!"

Ye Xinlan's father flew into a rage, "You're the one who shouted the loudest about a marriage alliance with the Cao Family. Don't you have to give me, the Clan Chief leader, a reasonable explanation for what this young man said! Tell me, what benefits did the Cao Family offer you that made you willing to betray the clan?"
