Summer Zhangjian

The streets were packed with people, including members of the Li Family. When they saw the steward killed by a single palm strike from the youth, their expressions stiffened. Then they hurried away to report the matter to the family elders!

Ye Hao remained calm and said lightly to the Lin Shige sisters, "Let's go."

The Lin Shige sisters were still in a state of mental chaos. In the span of a few moments, two members of the Li Family had died at Ye Hao's hands.

And Ye Hao had done all this because of them...

The two were immensely moved. They swore inwardly that from then on, they would serve Ye Hao wholeheartedly. They did not know how else to repay him, so they could only serve him with all their hearts.

The three of them left.

Because Ye Hao had not given his name, no one knew which family or faction he belonged to, leaving the members of the Li Family utterly enraged.

They could only use Ye Hao's physical features and the strength he had displayed to eliminate possibilities one by one!

The Li Family steward was at the Ninth Level of Qi Condensation. In the entire East Moon City, there were extremely few youths who could so easily kill him at such an age.

After a series of investigations, they locked onto Ye Hao!

Ye Hao wore white from head to toe. He was tall and well-built, standing at a hundred and eighty-five centimeters, with a perfect physique and an extraordinarily handsome face, as if he were a beautiful man who had stepped out of a painting. His hair hung loose, making him appear carefree and unrestrained.

And with such powerful strength, he must have cultivated at East Moon Academy. At present, there were only three people who could possess such strength!

The first was Summer Zhangjian, ranked first on the Prodigy Ranking!

The second was Fu Aoxuan of the Fu Family, ranked second on the Prodigy Ranking!

And the last was Ye Hao, who had recently caused such a huge stir!

Most people had only heard of Ye Hao's name. In truth, not many had actually seen him.

At this moment, the Li Family was eighty percent certain that the person who had killed the Li Family steward and Li Feng was very likely Ye Hao!

"Father, Uncles, that person was definitely Ye Hao!"

In the Li Family's council hall, a young man of about twenty-four spoke in a low voice.

The Li Family elders looked toward the young man, their gazes sharpening. "Xuanyuan, how can you be certain that it was Ye Hao?"

Li Xuanyuan's expression was ugly, his fists clenched tightly. "Those two women were bought by Ye Hao from the slave market. I had a conflict with Ye Hao that day."

"You were covered in injuries that day. Was that Ye Hao's doing?"

Li Xuanyuan's father wore an ugly expression.

Li Xuanyuan lowered his head in shame, tacitly admitting it.

"What audacity! Ye Hao has killed two of our Li Family, and not long ago, the Ye Family patriarch Ye Qingyun injured three of our elders. It seems the Ye Family wants to wage a full-scale war against our Li Family!"

An elder of the Li Family was furious.

Someone said, "Let's march on the Ye Family! Wipe them out!"

Everyone wanted to do the same.

But they all felt that the Ye Family's recent show of strength was too forceful. Could it be that the Ye Family's ancestor had broken through to the Spirit Sea Realm? Or had he forced his way through to the Half-step Spirit Sea Realm?

If that were truly the case, things would become troublesome!

Although the Li Family's overall strength was still greater than the Ye Family's, if the Ye Family's ancestor had reached the Half-step Spirit Sea Realm, then in a clash between the two families, the Li Family would certainly suffer severe losses as well!

"Let's wait for the patriarch to arrive and hear his opinion," someone said solemnly.

Before long, the Li Family patriarch arrived. He swept his eyes over everyone present, then said indifferently, "For now, do not go to war with the Ye Family. We'll discuss everything again in a month. A stronger faction has already made arrangements."

Everyone was puzzled. "Patriarch, a stronger faction?"

"The stronger faction is targeting Ye Wuchen..." the Li Family patriarch said slowly.

Everyone fell silent, bafflement filling their faces.

They naturally knew of Ye Wuchen.

He had once been the true prodigy of East Moon City, but he had left East Moon City during his youth for a more powerful place. They knew little about what happened to Ye Wuchen afterward.

They only knew that after leaving East Moon City, Ye Wuchen seemed to have done quite well. He had even found a woman whose appearance could be called breathtakingly beautiful—so beautiful that she stole their souls and utterly shocked them, reshaping their understanding of what a beauty could look like.

Yet the last time Ye Wuchen returned, his hair was completely white and his cultivation had been crippled. It was said that he had offended someone...

As time passed, the once-glorious prodigy had gradually become marginalized, and few people mentioned him anymore.

Even when he was mentioned, it was because of Ye Wuchen's wife. Anyone who had seen her was still deeply astonished to this day. Although their memories of her features had become somewhat blurred, they clearly remembered the feeling of being dazzled by her back then—and that beauty...

"Don't ask about anything else. In a month, it will be the day the Ye Family is destroyed!" The Li Family patriarch's gaze suddenly turned much colder. Anyone who touched a member of his Li Family had to pay the price!

The Ye Family and Li Family temporarily settled into calm. After learning of the Li Family's losses, the Jiang Family could not help but think of something. Believing that the Ye Family's ancestor had broken through, they did not want a third party to profit as the fisherman, so they did not take the initiative to intensify their conflict with the Ye Family.

But the members of the Jiang Family always felt that the storm had not truly calmed as it appeared to have. It seemed that everyone was waiting for something.

Two days later, news of Ye Hao killing the Li Family steward caused a tremendous uproar. It even became known throughout the entire city. From that point on, Ye Hao's name could be said to have become a household name in East Moon City.

After learning of Ye Hao's battle record, many people could not help discussing it animatedly.

"Ye Hao killed the Li Family steward, who was at the Ninth Level of Qi Condensation, with a single move. Doesn't that mean Ye Hao is at least at the Ninth Level of Qi Condensation? He might even be at the Qi Realm?" someone said in a trembling voice. "A seventeen-year-old at the Qi Realm—that's simply too outrageous!"

"What are you thinking? How could he possibly be at the Qi Realm? Do you think having enough spirit stones and resources is enough to break through to the Qi Realm? To break through to the Qi Realm, you first have to break through all the acupoints in your body while at the Qi Condensation Realm. You have to endure immense pain, and you also need sufficient accumulation. I can guarantee that Ye Hao is at most at the Ninth Level of Qi Condensation. He merely cultivated a more powerful Combat Skill, allowing him to catch the Li Family steward off guard and kill him in one move!"

At that moment, quite a few students at East Moon Academy were also marveling at Ye Hao's strength.

"If Ye Hao participates in the academy's martial arts grand competition, I feel the first place on the Prodigy Ranking will definitely belong to him!"

"Although Summer Zhangjian is also at the Ninth Level of Qi Condensation, I doubt even he could kill a martial artist of the same realm in one move, right?"

While they were discussing this,

Summer Zhangjian, dressed in white and tall and straight, happened to hear every word.

A cold glint flashed through Summer Zhangjian's eyes. As the first-ranked person on the Prodigy Ranking and the son of the East Moon City Lord, he held a noble status. Even when facing the first-rate family factions of East Moon City, he remained high above them, looking down on them with disdain.

It could be said that throughout East Moon Academy, he did not take any of the prodigies on the Prodigy Ranking seriously.

He was an existence that countless people in East Moon Academy could only look up to!

Yet now, a group of ants from the academy actually dared to compare him with Ye Hao, even saying that he was inferior to Ye Hao!

Summer Zhangjian was unwilling to accept this. If Ye Hao could kill the Li Family steward in one move, then under the right conditions, he could do it too!
