Rain Clan

Ye Feng put away the exemption token from the Heaven Mending Pavilion. Riding the Old Bei, he continued towards the Second Ancestral Land. During their journey, they encountered wave after wave of powerful beasts. After slaying numerous ferocious birds and beasts, they finally arrived at the border of the Stone Kingdom.

"I feel like I'm about to break through."

"To open the First Heavenly Passage?"

"Um."

"Don't open the First Heavenly Passage yet. Suppress it with all your might. Focus on body refinement."

Along the way, the strength of the four of them gradually increased as they consumed more ferocious birds and beasts. First was Shi Hao, who showed signs of breaking through to the Moving Blood Realm. Under Ye Feng's guidance, he consistently suppressed his cultivation, refusing to break through to the Moving Blood Realm.

It wasn't just Ye Feng and his three companions; Old Bei's strength had also undergone a dramatic transformation. He was no longer the same as before. Now, Old Bei was incredibly grateful that he had made the right decision back then.

After traveling 300,000 li, Ye Feng and his three companions finally arrived in the territory of the Stone Kingdom, at a dilapidated ancestral land.

The sun shines brightly on this ancestral land, but the dilapidated Zhuangzi appears gloomy and lifeless. Many buildings are on the verge of collapse.

"Be careful, don't go in like this yet. If someone is waiting here for us to walk into a trap, it will be extremely dangerous, and we will likely die," Shi Hao analyzed.

"What are you afraid of? Since you're here, don't hide. What do you think I'm here for?" Ye Feng retorted.

"Brother Ye Feng, didn't you say you wanted to spare the Rain Clan's lives?" Shi Hao asked in surprise.

"I did say that. But now, we have to give them a taste of their own medicine." Ye Feng smiled.

The Stone Clan's Second Ancestral Land was originally a place of exile. Ordinary people could not enter; only those of high status within the Stone Clan who had committed serious offenses were exiled here.

The Zhuangzi had some servants, but it still seemed exceptionally deserted, like an abandoned place. Desolate and lonely.

"Young Master, the last Old Ancestor is about to pass away. He doesn't have many days left to live. Your days are going to be difficult from now on."

"You're talking nonsense, your great-grandfather won't die."

"Then we'll just have to wait and see."

In the desolate courtyard, a servant was chatting with a young boy. His words and actions referred to the boy as the young master, but his attitude showed no respect for him.

"I heard that the young master is not Shi Ziling's son. His true identity is a blood relative of that dying old monster. He is just taking his place here."

"It's possible. If it really is a descendant of Shi Ziling, they would suffer even more misfortunes. It couldn't be as simple as just having a leg broken."

This place is like a desolate palace. Some of the servants have been bribed by outsiders. They don't treat the Stone Clan criminals exiled here as masters at all. Some not only don't treat them as masters, but also accept bribes from outsiders and then beat those imprisoned here.

"You are not allowed to talk nonsense."

"Young Master, you're suffering a lot from living like this, all sickly. I think you should just die after you've seen the old man off."

"Alright, that's enough. Judging from his appearance, he won't live long; he's definitely going to die young."

Who are you talking about?

While the servants were chatting, four children and a Ferocious Beast burst into the desolate courtyard.

"Who are you?" a servant asked. His body was radiating light, revealing that he possessed the Moving Blood Realm.

"Shi Hao, protect him. Pi Hou, you and Old Bei take my pills and deliver them to that old man." On the way here, Ye Feng casually refined an improved version of the pill.

The pill is the same one that Xiao Yan's second brother, Xiao Li, took in the Doupo Plane. However, it doesn't corrode life, but rather enhances it. The lack of the Fountain of Youth would have made its life-restoring effect even better.

Ye Feng believed that with his elixir, the Old Ancestor, as the servant had mentioned, would not die.

"Er Meng, defeat them. I don't need to lift a finger, right?" Ye Feng asked.

"They're just Moving Blood Realm cultivators, no need for Brother Ye Feng to lift a finger. Leave these thirty-odd people to me." As soon as Shi Er Meng finished speaking, his speed suddenly increased, and he attacked the Moving Blood Realm servants with punches and kicks.

These servants were not very strong; the strongest among them had a strength of 30,000 Shi Er Meng. They were no match for Shi Er Meng. They were defeated by Shi Ermeng in just a few rounds. Some of those who were less physically resilient were killed on the spot by Shi Er Meng.

"Quick, send a signal! Call the Rain Clan! Shi Hao is back!" someone shouted urgently. Then a firework shot into the sky, forming a dazzling pattern that resembled the shape of Sharp-Tailed Swift.

"Hey, swallow this pill." Ye Feng held out his hand and tossed a pill to Shi Hao's substitute. The pill had healing effects and a miraculous ability to regenerate bones. Its therapeutic effect was particularly significant for a condition like a limp.

Before long, Shi Er Meng had defeated all the servants in the manor.

"Take it!"

Ye Feng tossed a sword to Shi Hao's double and said, "Kill them."

"Ah?"

Shi Hao's double was stunned, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground.

"They all have their own ways of dying. Kill them. This is a world where the strong prey on the weak. If you don't kill them, they will kill you. Now, pick up the sword on the ground and kill them," Ye Feng commanded.

"I... I can't do it." Shi Hao's stand-in shook his head in anguish.

"Brother Ye Feng, don't pressure him." Shi Hao didn't want his stand-in to be so restricted. He couldn't help but speak up against Ye Feng.

"I didn't force him. I was just teaching him how to be a person. This world is extremely dangerous. If you don't even have the courage to kill, how can you protect the people you want to protect? Being so weak will only make you the kind of person who gets bullied by others," Ye Feng said.

"This..."

Shi Hao felt that Ye Feng's words made a lot of sense. He didn't continue to argue with Ye Feng.

Shi Hao's double picked up the sword and stared at it intently, his mind still in turmoil.

"Haha, you've finally arrived. It seems the Clan Chief was right to decide to hold off on this advancement."

A triumphant voice came from outside the courtyard.

Soon after, many people dressed in white entered the courtyard.

The leader was a middle-aged man with a refined demeanor and a clearly high level of understanding.

"Kill them!" the middle-aged man shouted.

As the white-robed middle-aged man arrived, the Rain Clan disciples began attacking Shi Hao, Ye Feng, and Shi Er Meng, as well as Shi Hao's advancement.

"I, Old Bei, can handle these scumbags all by myself."

The Old Bei had eaten people before. It glanced at Ye Feng, and seeing Ye Feng nod, it flapped its wings and charged towards the Rain Clan disciples who were attacking them.
