As for whether the Eastern Extreme Region truly had any peerlessly beautiful women, that was merely something Ye Hao had made up.
Ye Hao was casually bragging to everyone at the table. "More beautiful than Song Qingxue."
A group of young men began letting their imaginations run wild. Just what kind of peerless beauty could be called peerless? But they could not imagine it.
Ye Hao simply continued boasting to them. He found teasing people rather amusing.
This time, the Ye Family planned to hold grand banquets for an entire month, celebrating the Ye Family becoming the Eastern Region's number one power and Ye Wuchen breaking through to King Wu. In addition, Ye Wuchen and Ye Hao would be leaving in a month, so they would also hold a grand banquet to wish the father and son success in the Eastern Extreme Region.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
That day, Ye Hao was still bragging and drinking with the young men and women of the Ye Family. Just as he was drinking to his heart's content, his voice-transmission jade token began to tremble, flashing with golden light.
Ye Hao glanced at the voice-transmission jade token, and then Song Qingxue's anxious voice rang out. "Young Master, come to the Song Family quickly. Shige and Shiyu were injured by people from the Eastern Extreme Region. My father says they may be very difficult to save..."
The voice coming from Ye Hao's voice-transmission jade token made all the Ye Family youths at the table frown.
They all looked at Ye Hao.
Ye Hao's expression was calm at this moment, and his gaze was calm as well. Yet deep in his eyes, a surge of fury lay hidden.
Using the voice-transmission jade token, he spoke calmly with Song Qingxue. "What exactly happened?"
Song Qingxue said angrily, "The people from the Eastern Extreme Region think they're superior to everyone else and look down on those of us from the Eastern Region. I don't know whether they were restrained too harshly by all the rules in the Eastern Extreme Region, but now they've turned our Eastern Region into a place to vent their frustrations. Quite a few people have already died at their hands. They bully men and violate women. When Shige and Shiyu refused to submit, they angrily injured them!"
"I understand." Ye Hao put away the voice-transmission jade token, and a fierce glint flashed deep in his eyes.
He immediately went to find his father, Ye Wuchen. After learning what had happened, Ye Wuchen nodded lightly. "I know a little about what the people from the Eastern Extreme Region have done these past few days. I'll go to the Song Family with you."
The Song Family was a thousand li from the Ye Family. For Ye Wuchen, who had already reached King Wu, it would take only the time needed to burn a stick of incense to arrive at the Song Family.
At this moment, in the cities under the Song Family's jurisdiction, the locals were panic-stricken. Unless absolutely necessary, everyone stayed behind closed doors.
Because the people from the Eastern Extreme Region were too vile!
When they saw a man, they would go up and slap him. Some would kill him with a single move, completely disregarding reason, like madmen.
When they saw a woman with some beauty, they would simply drag her away by force. Their conduct was just like that of demonic cultivators!
The Song Family governed ten cities, and several of them had fallen into complete disorder.
"Hahaha! Beating people whenever I want, killing people whenever I want, taking other people's wives whenever I want—this feels incredible! I almost want to stay here forever!"
A young man laughed maniacally.
"I feel the same. In our sect, we're inferior to others and get bullied. But after coming to the Eastern Desolate Region, we're the people above all others! So what if the Song Family's ancestor is King Wu? He still fears hurting us and being retaliated against by our sect!"
A young man beside him revealed a gleeful smile.
When they had been in their sects in the Eastern Extreme Region, their status had been low, and they were often bullied. Life in the sects had been stifling, with too many rules and restrictions making them feel terribly oppressed.
But after coming to the impoverished Eastern Desolate Region, no one dared offend them. They were the people above all others!
The things they had once been able to do only in their dreams were now within their grasp!
If someone displeased them, they would kill him on the spot! If they saw a beauty, they would simply take her for themselves. In any case, the people of the Eastern Desolate Region feared them and did not dare do anything to them.
"Fatty, get over here!"
The young man saw a tall, fat man and immediately revealed a savage expression.
Fear showed on the tall, fat man's face. He obediently walked over and said timidly, "Young Masters, what do you need?"
"Hahaha, nothing much. I just wanted to ask whether your wife is beautiful!" the young man laughed loudly. He felt unbelievably good. In the Eastern Extreme Region, he would never have dared say such a thing.
But after arriving in the Eastern Desolate Region, there was nothing he dared not say.
After hearing this, the tall, fat man put on an obsequious smile. "I... I don't have a wife yet."
Smack!
The young man slapped him across the face and glared fiercely at the fatty. "You don't even have a wife! That makes sense. You're so fat—who would ever fancy you? Am I right, big fatty?"
The fatty nodded repeatedly and said ingratiatingly, "Yes, yes, that's right. No one fancies me."
The young man smiled playfully and patted the fatty's face. "I'm in a good mood today. Get lost!"
"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master." After forcing out a flattering smile, the tall, fat man cautiously left.
Similar incidents were happening throughout the Eastern Region. Since the locals of the Eastern Region knew too little about the Eastern Extreme Region, they were filled with fear toward these unknown people, afraid that if they fought back, they might suffer a calamity that would annihilate them.
Thus, one after another, they swallowed their anger. Some were so frightened that they had lost even the slightest temper.
This caused the people from the Eastern Extreme Region to grow increasingly arrogant and high-handed. Even when they encountered someone whose cultivation was higher than theirs, they would announce their identities, claiming that if an elder of their sect took action, he could destroy any top power in the Eastern Region with a single slap!
This left even the Eastern Region's top powers swallowing their anger.
After all, they had only just witnessed Ye Wuchen kill three King Wu ancestors in a single day. They feared that if a powerhouse from the Eastern Extreme Region became displeased, that person might destroy them as well!
At this moment, the people from each of the Eastern Region's top powers were cursing behind closed doors.
"A bunch of little bastards! How dare they run wild like this!"
The current patriarch of the Lei Family ground his teeth in fury, but even after cursing, he did not dare do anything.
Although his cultivation far surpassed that of the young men from the Eastern Extreme Region, the difference in identity and status, along with the powers backing them, made him deeply wary.
If he had been alone, without a family, he would have killed the people from the Eastern Extreme Region on the spot! But he had too many concerns...
The Song Family was enormous, stretching fifty li from north to south and forty li from east to west. The Song Estate was magnificent, and its gardens resembled a paradise beyond the mortal world.
But at this moment, everyone in the Song Family was seething with fury.
"The people from the Eastern Extreme Region are far too brazen! Song Qingxue nearly fell into their hands as well! They're merely a bunch of Spirit Seas, and quite a few are even in the Qi Realm. With strength like that, how dare they act so arrogantly before our Song Family!"
"Qingxue, when will Ye Hao arrive? Will Ye Wuchen come?" Song Qingxue's father, Song Bairen, asked with a frown.
Song Qingxue gently shook her head. "Ye Hao only said that he understood. I don't know whether he has set out, but I'm sure he'll come."
Song Qingxue was utterly certain of this in her heart. Although the sisters Lin Shige and Shiyu were merely Ye Hao's maids, they were still Ye Hao's people.
She had a feeling that Ye Hao would definitely come!
Boom!
Just then, a wave of pressure enveloped the Song Family's central area.
The people of the Song Family hurried out of their rooms and then looked up.
