The residence of the Lord of Ye City, Luo family.
The majestic building complex, facing south and north, exudes a unique aura of authority.
In Yecheng, there was once a situation where three major families were in full force. These three families were the Luo family, the Ye family, and the Murong family.
One hundred years ago, the alliance of three families put down the rebellion of the Nine Cities. The ancestor of the Luo family captured the heroes of the Nine Cities during the rebellion and not only became the lord of Yecheng, but also took control of the power of the Nine Cities.
Luo Zheng is the third generation patriarch of the Luo family. He is unwilling to just be the city lord for long, and has been planning to transform the city into a country and command the world.
"Dad!"
In a deep palace of the Luo family, above the main hall.
Luo Ying appeared in the main hall and addressed a burly old man in his fifties with respect.
This fifty-year-old man has a ruddy complexion and bright eyes. He is obviously a master of internal martial arts. He is Luo Ying's father, Luo Zheng, the patriarch of the Luo family.
"It's Ying'er who's back!" Luo Zheng was delighted, turned around, and said expectantly: "Ying'er, how was the preliminary exam at Wucai Academy?"
Wucai Academy is the most famous academy of cultivation in all the nine cities. Luo Ying went there to take the preliminary examination for Wucai Academy.
"Dad! Let's not talk about this for now. The three guards and I were ambushed outside Yecheng City and we almost couldn't come back!"
"That's true! Everyone knows that you are my, Luo Zheng's daughter, yet you dare to do that to me?" Luo Zheng took a deep breath, looking surprised.
The Luo family is not only the head of Yecheng, but also the head of all nine cities.
Who in such a high position of power would openly attack his own daughter? Wouldn't this be making an enemy of the Luo family
Could it be them!
Luo Zheng frowned and looked at the ground.
The "they" he was referring to were the Ye family and the Murong family, who were qualified candidates for the city lord.
Among these two families, the Ye family is the most suspicious.
The Ye family is a large family with five branches, and their martial arts classics are profound and extensive.
With his extraordinary martial arts, the current head of the family, Ye Long, has made great military achievements.
Not only did Ye Long of the Ye family have great military achievements, he was also deeply loved by the people.
However, although the Murong family is also wealthy and powerful, it cannot be compared with the Ye family in terms of martial arts or public opinion.
Could it be that Ye Long from the Ye family heard some rumors and wanted to hold his daughter hostage to sabotage his plan to build a country
Luo Zheng placed the biggest suspicion on Ye Long.
"Ying'er! Have you seen clearly the identities of those people who ambushed you? Are they from our Yecheng?" Luo Zheng believed that his daughter would never hide anything in front of him, and after saying this, he looked at Luo Ying expectantly.
Luo Ying's eyes suddenly became dull, and he shook his head and said, "Dad! I saw those people's faces clearly, but I didn't recognize any of them. Judging from their tone and clothes, they are not from Yecheng! They look like people from outside the Great Wall!"
"People from outside the Great Wall!" Luo Zheng repeated with a frown. This matter was not done by people from Yecheng, but it actually involved people from outside the Great Wall.
Luo Zheng couldn't wait to figure out what was going on. At this moment, the voice of his adopted son Luo Hai came out loudly.
"Ying'er, go down and have a good rest first! Your father will send your eldest brother to investigate this matter immediately!"
When Luo Zheng finished speaking, Luo Hai had already hurried in from outside.
Luo Ying nodded. When Luo Hai came behind her, she suddenly turned to look at Luo Zheng and said, "Dad! I forgot to tell you one more thing. I was able to come back safely this time because Ye Feng defeated those people alone against ten people. That’s why I was able to escape safely!"
"Ye Feng! It was Ye Feng who saved you!"
Luo Zheng was surprised at first, then he said calmly: "Okay! Dad knows, you go down and rest first!"
Luo Zheng also knew what had just happened in the Ye family. He was impressed by the fact that Ye Feng was poisoned by a thousand-year-old poison but not only did he not die, but also defeated his two cousins who were at the fourth level of cultivation.
The surprise just now was because Luo Zhengjue had never expected it.
Although my daughter is a girl, she has been practicing martial arts since she was young. At the age of 20, she is already a fourth-level master. Her three guards are also fourth-level masters.
Even they were no match for those who were chasing them. Ye Feng was alone against ten people.
In addition to surprise and confusion, Luo Zheng also felt worried.
In addition to Ye Feng's sudden change, there was also Ye Long. When he first learned that Ye Long was seriously ill, he secretly rejoiced, but he got rid of the threat in his heart. Unexpectedly, he got the Hundred Herb Pill unexpectedly at the Elders' Meeting. Not only did he recover from his serious illness, but he also improved his internal strength.
It’s a big worry, a big worry!
"Godfather!" Luo Hai, who had been in front of Luo Zheng for a long time, shouted in surprise when he saw that he was frowning.
Luo Zheng looked up and saw that it was Luo Hai. He frowned and said, "Hai'er! You must have heard about Ying'er's story! Do you believe that Ye Feng has suddenly become so powerful? He defeated ten masters above the fourth level with just one pair of hands!"
Luo Hai is Luo Zhengshou's adopted son, and he is also very handsome.
"Godfather! Hai'er doesn't believe it. Even if Ye Feng was not poisoned to death by the thousand-year-old poison, and the elders of the Ye family cured his poison, he would never have turned from a waste into a strong man in just a few days. Otherwise, if everyone in our Ye City turned from a waste into a strong man, that would be unbelievable!"
Luo Hai didn't hesitate at all, because he didn't believe in Ye Feng at all and looked down on him.
"Hai'er, even though that's the case, Ye Feng did defeat his brother who was at the fourth level of cultivation, and he just saved Ying'er. This is quite strange! There must be some mystery behind this, it's definitely not that simple!"
Luo Zheng's brows were still tightly furrowed, as if he had already regarded Ye Feng as his own scourge.
"Godfather! You are overthinking. We only heard that Ye Feng defeated his brother who was at the fourth level of cultivation in the Ye family. Hai'er believes that in this world, sparrows will always be sparrows. It is impossible for them to fly onto a tree branch and become a phoenix!"
Luo Zheng did not talk to Luo Hai about Ye Feng anymore, and continued: "Hai'er, you have done everything your father asked you to do!"
"To reply to godfather, everything has been done, everything is as planned!"
"Good! Good! Apart from the thorn in my side, the Ye family, I am relieved! Hai'er, there is one more thing you need to do right away. Find out the identities of those who are chasing Ying'er today!"
Luo Hai bowed his head, accepted the order, and left the palace.
In fact, in Yecheng, after Ye Long took the Hundred Herb Pill, many people gathered together and plotted one conspiracy after another to put Ye Long to death.
The same was true for the city lord Luo Zheng. He had just asked Luo Hai about his plan, which was to get rid of Ye Long.
Ye family hall.
Ye Long had just visited his third son Ye Tian in the bedroom, and now he called a few guards to make arrangements in the hall.
"You! Pick a few skilled guards and go investigate immediately. Make sure you find out who secretly attacked and injured the Third Young Master! Report back as soon as you get any news!"
Ye Long's face was filled with anger because he had just witnessed the tragic scene of Ye Tian, whose face was pale and all the tendons in his body were broken.
The attack was so brutal and vicious that Ye Long vowed to get to the bottom of the matter, to avenge Ye Tian and find out the truth of the matter.
Ye Tian had been practicing outside for more than ten years and had never returned to the Ye family. However, he did not expect that he would be ambushed on the day he returned to the Ye family.
Is there really such a coincidence in the world!
In Ye Long's mind, it was not a coincidence but a conspiracy. The person who injured Ye Tian and broke all his tendons and veins, but did not kill him, all these signs were full of doubts, but there was one thing Ye Long could be sure of, that is, the person who injured Ye Tian was definitely not coming for Ye Tian, but for him, Ye Long.
"Master! Master! It's bad, the Third Young Master is both cold and hot!"
Someone outside the hall reported anxiously.
After hearing the report, Ye Long put aside his doubts and strode towards Ye Tian's bedroom.
Ye family’s west courtyard, Ye Tian’s bedroom.
"Ah! It's so cold, so cold. Ah, it's so hot!"
Boom! Bang!
Ye Long hurried to the bedroom door and heard Ye Tian's painful cries and the sound of a glass jar hitting the ground.
"Ice water, ice water..."
"Fire! Fire..."
Inside the bedroom, a dozen people were running around, shouting for ice water and fire. They were Xiaoyu, the maid who served Ye Feng.
Xiaoyu was holding a cold towel in one hand and a hot towel in the other. She was sweating all over and looked haggard.
Lying on the bed was Ye Tian, the third son of the Ye family who had just been carried in. His hands and feet were struggling desperately, and his face turned pale and blue at times.
The lips turned purple from the cold, and then smoke came out of them.
With a clang!
A maid standing beside the bed was holding a basin of hot water. Ye Tian kicked her and the basin fell to the ground and broke into pieces, with the hot water spilling all over the floor.
"master!"
"master!"
The standing maid bowed her head and addressed Ye Long respectfully as he walked into the room.
When Ye Long walked to the bed and saw Ye Tian, half of his body felt as if it was being burned by fire, and the other half was covered with ice and frost.
Seeing this scene, Ye Long was deeply surprised.
I exclaimed in my mind: "Yin Yang Fist!"
The so-called Yin-Yang Fist is an extremely evil style of boxing. Men use the left fist and women use the right fist. The left fist is Yang and the right fist is Yin.
All practitioners should practice yang during the day and yin at night.
The Yin-Yang Fist is divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. Each time a practitioner advances to a higher level, he must drink the blood of young boys and girls.
Anyone injured by the Yin-Yang Fist will suffer at the very least severed tendons and veins, with the body suffering from extreme cold and heat torture, making life worse than death. If the antidote to the Yin-Yang Fist is not obtained within 21 days, then death will occur suddenly.
In severe cases, the patient may die suddenly due to severed tendons and veins.
"It turns out that my third son Ye Tian was injured by the Yin Yang Fist! Didn't the Yin Yang Mountain Man who practiced the Yin Yang Fist sign a peace agreement with Ye City to not offend each other? They have lived in peace for decades, so how could he suddenly appear in Ye City and deal such a heavy blow to Ye Tian?"
The so-called Yinyang Mountain is a wild land bordering Yecheng, where a group of barbarians live.
Cruel and vicious by nature, the Lord of Ye City sent people to attack the mountain several times, but failed because the Yinyang Mountain was in a dangerous terrain and the barbarians were cunning by nature.
Ye Long fell into a deep sorrow, because he knew that if he was hit by the Yin-Yang Fist, there was only one possibility, that was death.
