"Then why did you come to the Ye family again and become the head of the Ye family?" Mu Hanyan asked the last question.
"This is completely a coincidence. Even I didn't expect such a coincidence to happen in the world." Ye Fengyun smiled and said, "Twenty years ago, the Ye family clashed with the Zhu family. The two families competed in a duel. It is said that the Zhu family had ambushed them. The head of the family, along with several elders and guests, were all seriously injured. By the way, Ye Congyun was also injured in that battle. However, he was not an elder at that time. Because of his outstanding talent and strength, he was fortunate enough to participate in that battle.
After the battle, the head of the family and several elders passed away from their wounds. The Ye family's strength dwindled, relying on a single Grand Elder to maintain its position. Just a few months ago, the Grand Elder had reached his end. However, none of the second generation of the family had reached the level of Spiritual Priest, and the third generation was even more mediocre. Worse still, these people had lived in comfort for too long, lacking any ambition. Even before the Grand Elder's death, they were already clamoring to divide up the family fortune and pursue their own livelihoods.
If the family business was passed into their hands, it would only be a matter of time before the Ye family fell apart or even wiped out. In desperation, the Supreme Elder could only issue a Supreme Order to summon the scattered descendants of the Ye family and select the best talents from among them in order to save the Ye family.
I left the barrier at Moxing Mountain and happened to run into a few descendants of the Ye family who had returned from the branch clan. When I told them my name, they mistakenly thought I was one of them and dragged me back. I figured since I didn't know anyone in the family, I might as well try my luck at the Ye family. Who knew that by some strange coincidence, I'd show off my strength and catch the eye of the Grand Elder?
When he asked me about my background, I said that my parents died of illness at an early age, leaving only some resources for cultivation for me. I also only heard that I was a descendant of the Ye family, and I didn't even know if it was this Ye family. He naturally wouldn't believe it completely, so he used the magic of phantom blood to verify my identity. There are really all kinds of strange things in the world. The Ye family of our Holy Court Continent and this Ye family are really of the same origin.
Afterwards, the Grand Elder had a long talk with me. He felt I was incredibly courageous and ambitious, so he defied all odds and passed the position of Patriarch to me. He felt the other new elders were too weak and lacked foresight, so he passed the position of Grand Elder to Ye Congyun. "At this point, Ye Fengyun felt a little embarrassed.
When he was in the Holy Court Continent, he had been in charge of the affairs of the academy for many years as the eldest disciple of Wenren Qingqiu. He was considered to have been in a high position for a long time. In terms of ambition and courage, he was indeed much stronger than the average person, but compared with Mu Hanyan, he was far inferior. To say this, there was a bit of the flavor of Wang Po boasting about my own melons.
"You are lucky, thanks to Hua Yue and others who gave you the opportunity. If it were any one of them, they would have difficulty moving in this small divine heaven, and might even lose their lives if they were not careful." Mu Hanyan said with emotion.
After hearing Ye Fengyun's words, she also felt that it was quite a coincidence, but after thinking about it again, she felt that this coincidence was actually nothing.
The Ye family, descendants of the gods' guardians, possessed a far superior aptitude for cultivation. Achieving their bloodline easily allowed them to become powerful masters. Furthermore, their family's succession was far easier than that of ordinary families. Therefore, it was no surprise that both the Divine Continent and the Holy Court Continent had descendants of the Ye family, establishing powerful clans through generations. It was also no surprise that Ye Fengyun happened upon another branch of the Ye family.
"Help me find a quiet room for practice. I will immediately strive to reach the realm of Soul Priest." All the questions in Mu Hanyan's mind were answered. The most urgent task now was to improve her cultivation as soon as possible and rescue Hua Yue and others before others discovered them.
Soon, Mu Hanyan came to a quiet cultivation room under Ye Fengyun's guidance, closed the door and began to cultivate. Ye Fengyun stayed outside the door and personally protected her.
To break through the realm of the Soul Priest, one needs not only a strong enough cultivation base, but also an opportunity. So although Mu Hanyan was worried about the safety of Hua Yue and others, she still forced herself to calm down and look for the opportunity to break through.
As she practiced the technique over and over again, her mind entered a state of emptiness and clarity.
Time passed slowly, and powerful spiritual power and energy flowed rapidly, healing the meridians, entering the ancient tree of life, and returning to the meridians, forming one perfect cycle after another.
However, Mu Hanyan was never able to find an opportunity to break through, the power of heaven and earth could never be condensed, and the transformation required to be promoted to a soul priest could never be completed.
Mu Hanyan didn't know how much time had passed, and she couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
…
At the same time, two figures were seen soaring through the air, riding the wind, and stopping above the Ye family's Yunjian Villa. These two people were Du Tiancheng, who had come on the orders of Dou Nanshan to seize the Qiankun Life and Death Seal, and Dou Changping, the third elder of the Dou family.
"Where are the people from the Ye family? Come out and see me!" Dou Changping shouted wildly.
"Who are you? How dare you come to my Ye family to drink and have fun? Do you really think that there is no one in my Ye family?" Ye Congyun led Ye Congshan and others out one after another. Before they saw anyone, Ye Congshan shouted angrily.
Although the Ye family has declined in recent years, it is still one of the twelve prestigious families in Xiaoshentian. The tiger skin is still there, and not everyone dares to step on their heads.
However, when he saw who was coming, Ye Congshan immediately stopped.
"It turns out that the third elder of the Dou family and Lord Du have come. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person." Ye Congshan said with a smile on his face, but a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
Dou Nanshan serves as a divine punishment priest as well as a divine blessing priest. Today, the Dou family is in great power. As the saying goes, when one person succeeds, the whole family will prosper. The children of the Dou family are more arrogant than each other. Dou Changping is the most arrogant one among them. He often hurts people. In the past few years, countless elders and even heads of small families have been injured by him.
Of course, he had the capital to be arrogant. As the third elder of the Dou family, he was one of the strongest masters in the Dou family besides Dou Nanshan. He had reached the third level of the Soul Realm: Rebirth, Nourishing the Mind and Condensing the Soul, and Transforming the Soul into the Void. It was said that he had reached the limit of Rebirth, and the next step would be Nourishing the Mind and Condensing the Soul. If he reached this level, he would be a master among masters.
"Are you the head of the Ye family?" Dou Changping glanced at Ye Congshan with his nose turned up and asked.
"I'm Ye Congshan, the second elder of the Ye family. This is the first elder, Ye Congyun. This is the third elder, Ye Congshui. This is the fourth elder, Ye Conglong." Seeing that Dou Changping didn't attack right away, Ye Congshan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly introduced them.
"Ask your family head to come out and see me." Dou Changping didn't even bother to look at Ye Congshan, and said directly.
"Master Patriarch, where is the Master Patriarch? Ask him to come over quickly." Ye Congshan didn't know that Ye Fengyun was protecting Mu Hanyan. When Zuo Zhong saw that he didn't see anyone, he asked anxiously.
At this moment, he was somewhat glad that the Grand Elder had not chosen him to be the Patriarch.
