Ye Hao cultivated for three days, and his cultivation had improved somewhat during that time. He was now at the peak of the sixth level of the Qi Realm.
"Besides having a larger qi sea than the Qi Realm, the Spirit Sea Realm also brings a qualitative improvement in every aspect. The strength of one's spirit energy increases by more than tenfold, and one can also unleash more powerful Combat Skills."
Ye Hao's expression was calm.
Although he was in the Qi Realm, the size of his qi sea was no weaker than that of a Spirit Sea Realm martial artist below the third level. The strength of his spirit energy was also no weaker than a Spirit Sea Realm cultivator's. On top of that, he could unleash a perfected Mysterious-grade High-rank Combat Skill. Even against someone at the ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm, he might not be unable to fight!
Ye Hao then walked out of Ye Wuchen's courtyard and wandered around the Ye Family alone.
At that moment, most of the Ye Family members wore solemn expressions. The sixteen-year period had ended, and the Eastern Region was separated from the outer regions by a highly poisonous Poisonous Barrier. Even the strongest experts from the outer regions found it difficult to reach the Eastern Region.
This also meant that the hostile forces that had once made enemies of Ye Wuchen, as well as the forces coveting the high-grade Cultivation Method in his hands, would all go mad!
The Ye Family had reached the juncture of life and death!
The members of the Ye Family's first eight generations all wore solemn expressions, but none of them was afraid.
Their battle intent even soared into the heavens!
Because they had wives and children behind them. If the Ye Family fell, everyone in the Ye Family would surely be exterminated root and branch!
Thus, whether for the Lineage, for the wives and children behind them, or for themselves, they had only one path to take: battle!
They also knew that Ye Wuchen was the cause of all this.
It was because of Ye Wuchen that the Ye Family now faced a crisis of life and death!
But no one blamed Ye Wuchen.
As martial artists, they were meant to compete with others and contend with the heavens. How could they improve without fighting for what they wanted?
If they wanted to improve, they had to fight for it!
And once they fought, they would inevitably make enemies of others!
Thus, they did not blame Ye Wuchen. They even felt that this was only right and proper!
All they could do now was fight!
The members of the eight generations were all brimming with battle intent.
The young men and women of the Lineage below the eighth generation could also sense the tense atmosphere in the family.
They all wondered whether the Ye Family was about to go to war with the Li Family. After all, the Ye Family and Li Family had clashed in many areas, and Ye Hao had humiliated Li Lengxuan and Li Shaoyou some time ago.
"If the Li Family wants to fight, I'll slaughter the Li Family!"
A young man from the Ye Family spoke with murderous intent. Although he had never killed anyone before, if the Li Family went to war with the Ye Family and dared to touch his family, his killing intent burned fiercely!
"I've disliked the Li Family for a long time. If they want to fight, I'll dig up the Li Family's ancestral graves and scatter their ashes!" another fearless young man declared, his battle intent soaring as killing intent filled his eyes.
Ye Hao happened to arrive there and heard the Ye Family youths talking.
Their words gave off the feeling of newborn calves not fearing tigers. They could also be described as ignorant and recklessly hot-blooded, or as not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth.
But...
The young men and women of the Ye Family were all fighting for the sake of the Lineage!
They simply did not want those close to them to be harmed!
"Being born into the Ye Family is a blessing I must have cultivated for several lifetimes."
Ye Hao revealed a faint smile. He liked a Lineage like this. Likewise, he would fight for his Lineage!
Moreover, the root of this matter lay with his father, Ye Wuchen...
That handsome and refined father, dressed all in white and resembling a beautiful man from a painting.
His father had given him enough love since childhood.
Deep down, he loved his father very much as well.
Otherwise, back when he cultivated at East Moon Academy and was bullied by Li Lengxuan, Jiang Shaojie, and the others, he would not have helplessly chosen to swallow his anger in order to avoid implicating his father and the Lineage.
Back then, he could swallow his anger for his father and the Lineage.
Today.
He could also fight for himself, for his father, and for the Lineage!
"Brother Ye Hao."
"Ye Hao."
There were more than a hundred young men and women in the Ye Family who were over twelve and under twenty years old.
When they saw Ye Hao, they all looked delighted. "Brother Ye Hao, you've come out of seclusion?"
Ye Hao nodded faintly.
"Brother Ye Hao, our Ye Family might be going to war with the Li Family!" Fourteen-year-old Ye Paopao said with a face full of battle intent.
Ye Hao smiled. Then his figure suddenly shot into the air, flying ten meters above the ground.
Looking at the Ye Family youths below, who were gaping in astonishment, he said calmly, "If the Li Family goes to war with the Ye Family, I'll wipe out the Li Family."
"Holy crap!"
"Holy crap!"
"Ye Hao, you... you... you actually broke through to the Qi Realm!"
The Ye Family youths and girls widened their eyes, their faces filled with shock.
Recently, the family had passed down new Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills to them, and their cultivation had advanced much faster.
But they had never expected Ye Hao to break through even faster. He was already in the Qi Realm!
"This is way too devastating. I only recently broke through to the Ninth Level of Qi Condensation..." Ye Chen said blankly.
He felt deeply shaken.
Ye Hao smiled. "Cultivate properly. You'll also be able to break through to the Qi Realm soon. By then, you'll be able to fly and project spirit energy externally."
The Ye Family youths and girls nodded heavily like chicks pecking at grain, their faces filled with longing.
They wanted to fly too. It looked incredibly impressive.
"Brother Ye Hao, now that you've broken through to the Qi Realm, our Ye Family has an even better chance of victory against the Li Family. When the time comes, we'll kill them until not a single soldier remains!" a young man said viciously.
Ye Hao chuckled and nodded.
He sighed inwardly. The Ye Family youths still did not know that the Ye Family's true enemies were not the Li Family, but the various top forces of the Eastern Region.
And at present, only his father was at the ninth level of the Spirit Gathering Realm...
The atmosphere in the Ye Family was tense, while the Li Family in East Moon City was incredibly excited from top to bottom.
The Imperial Dynasty had sent people to say that if the Li Family went to war with the Ye Family, the Imperial Dynasty would provide some assistance.
With nearly half a month of assistance from the Imperial Dynasty, the Li Family had been granted three Breakthrough Pills. Although they could not directly break through to the Spirit Sea Realm, they could break through to the Half-step Spirit Sea Realm!
However, those who forcefully broke through to the Half-step Spirit Sea Realm would be stuck there for the rest of their lives, unable to advance any further.
The Li Family naturally did not care. They had almost no hope of reaching the Spirit Sea Realm through their own cultivation anyway, so they might as well break through directly to the Half-step Spirit Sea Realm.
The Li Family now had a total of four Half-step Spirit Sea Realm cultivators!
Six late-stage Qi Realm cultivators!
Sixteen mid-stage Qi Realm cultivators!
Thirty-eight early-stage Qi Realm cultivators!
This was the Li Family's true strength!
A first-rate family had far more Qi Realm experts than second- and third-rate families!
"All Li Family members in the Qi Condensation Realm and Qi Realm, assemble at once and march on the Ye Family! Apart from Ye Wuchen and Ye Hao, every other member of the Ye Family must die!"
The Li Family's ancestor spoke coldly.
He already knew a little about what had happened. Back then, the Ye Family prodigy Ye Wuchen had left East Moon City and offended many people outside. Now, some of them wanted to use this opportunity to destroy the Ye Family!
As for why the order had been given not to kill Ye Wuchen and Ye Hao...
Perhaps the Imperial Dynasty's experts wanted to humiliate the father and son?
Or perhaps they wanted to use Ye Hao as a hostage to force Ye Wuchen into submission?
Soon, all the Li Family members in the Qi Condensation Realm and Qi Realm gathered together.
"March on the Ye Family!"
The ancestor spoke coldly.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Kill!"
The Li Family members shouted in unison.
