A powerful enemy attacks, the ninth level master

On the summit of the Fourth Peak of the Zilin Sect, Elder Ziji, a Grandmaster at the ninth stage, sat with a pleased expression as he observed his disciple, Yang Feng.

True to the legend of the Hundred Spirit Constitution, Yang Feng's cultivation speed was astonishing, leaving Elder Ziji more than satisfied.

In just half a month, Yang Feng had reached the peak of the Innate First Stage, merely a step away from breaking into the second stage. Elder Ziji was immensely proud of personally taking him in as his core disciple.

With the Hundred Spirit Constitution, Yang Feng had the potential to reach the Spirit Bridge Realm, and perhaps even beyond to the Heavenly Human Realm. Given enough resources, Yang Feng's future was limitless.

Currently, the Zilin Sect was grooming Yang Feng as a potential future Sect Master.

However, Elder Ziji sighed softly as he observed the gloomy expression on Yang Feng's face, a mix of hatred and resentment evident in his eyes.

After offering a few words of encouragement, Elder Ziji instructed Yang Feng to leave and then made his way to the Sect Master's peak to report the matter.

After hearing Elder Ziji's report, the Sect Master remained silent for a moment before speaking.

"It seems the destruction of the Yang family has left a deep psychological wound on Yang Feng. Very well, the Zilin Sect will intervene."

Elder Ziji nodded in agreement. "Indeed. Yang Feng is currently stuck at the peak of the Xiantian First Stage. This unresolved hatred has become a heart demon for him, and as his cultivation increases, it will only grow worse, potentially becoming a barrier to his progress."

"You're right. Since we've already chosen to groom Yang Feng as a core disciple, we cannot let this fester. The Ye family, after all, is just a newly emerged force with a single Grandmaster. They can be wiped out swiftly."

"If we help Yang Feng eliminate the Ye family, he'll undoubtedly be more loyal to the Zilin Sect, especially with no family ties left to hold him back."

The Sect Master made his decision. "Junior Brother, you will personally handle this. I'll also send two enforcers to assist you. Make sure no one from the Ye family survives."

With that, the two reached an agreement.

Elder Ziji stood up immediately. "As you command, Sect Master."

He returned to the Fourth Peak and summoned Yang Feng, informing him of the plan.

The previously listless Yang Feng's eyes lit up, and an overwhelming surge of killing intent burst forth.

"Thank you, Master, and thank you, Sect Master. Once my vengeance is complete, the Zilin Sect will be my second home!"

Elder Ziji was even more satisfied after hearing Yang Feng's expression of loyalty.

He soon gathered two enforcers, both at the fifth stage of the Grandmaster Realm, and the group of four began their journey toward Fengling County at breakneck speed.

[Ding~! The system has detected danger to the family. A mission is issued: eliminate the party from Zilin Sect attempting to annihilate the Ye family. Completing the mission will grant rich rewards!]

Upon hearing the system's voice, a flicker of amusement crossed Ye Daocang's eyes.

It was inevitable, after all.

Instead of panicking, Ye Daocang calmly checked his current status.

[Name: Ye Daocang!]

[Role: Patriarch of the Ye Family, Fengling County!]

[Cultivation: Grandmaster Seventh Stage!]

[Divine Weapon: Qingyun Sword!]

[Constitution: Chaos Dao Body, Chaos Divine Eyes!]

[Techniques: Azure Lotus Sword Art, Heaven-Devouring Technique!]

[Treasure: Patriarch's Jade Pendant!]

[Family Buildings: Scripture Pavilion, Dao Enlightenment Chamber!]

[Exchange Points: 3000!]

At the seventh stage of the Grandmaster Realm, Ye Daocang was essentially invincible within the realm of Grandmasters. Even a peerless genius in the same realm would stand no chance against him.

With his current strength, as long as Zilin Sect's old monster didn't show up, no one would be a threat to him.

And even if that old monster did appear, Ye Daocang wouldn't be afraid.

He had enough exchange points to exchange for countless means to deal with a Spirit Bridge Realm expert.

Thus, he felt no concern about the incoming threat.

Three days later, a group of four arrived in Fengling County.

Yang Feng stood silently at his family's ancestral grave on the outskirts of the former Yang family estate, his expression filled with sorrow and determination.

Even though he saw that Fengling County had prospered in the absence of conflict between the families and the County Magistrate, it meant nothing to him now.

His only thought was of revenge.

Seeing Yang Feng's state, Elder Ziji worried that this could further entrench his heart demon.

With a glance, he signaled one of the enforcers.

Understanding the gesture, the enforcer leapt into the air, moving rapidly toward the Ye family estate.

Without concealing his aura, the terrifying might of a Grandmaster descended upon the Ye family like a storm, pressing down heavily on everyone within.

The members of the Ye family felt an unprecedented pressure, their faces paling in alarm.

"A Grandmaster!"

"An enemy Grandmaster has arrived! Prepare for defense, everyone!"

"Who would dare to attack the Ye family at this time and with such malice?"

At that moment, a cold, resounding voice echoed across Fengling County.

"The Ye family is truly bold, daring to annihilate the Yang family, a family under the protection of the Zilin Sect. You have signed your death warrant! Today, by the order of the Sect Master, I will annihilate the Ye family. Prepare to die!"

The booming voice reverberated across the county, causing many to gasp in horror as they turned their gazes toward the Ye family estate.

"What?! People from the Zilin Sect have come to avenge the Yang family!"

"What terrifying power! This can't be an ordinary Grandmaster. This is too much!"

"How will the Ye family defend against this?"

"Ever since the Ye family unified Fengling County, our lives have improved. But now, it seems we might be going back to the way things were."

The crowd buzzed with speculation, but no one seemed to have much hope for the Ye family.

At that moment, the enforcer hovering above the Ye family unleashed a massive, terrifying foot made of true essence, which descended upon the estate like a giant.

If that foot landed, it would bring devastating losses to the Ye family.

As the massive foot descended, many shook their heads, believing the Ye family was finished.

But just as the attack was about to hit, a towering aura erupted from the Ye family estate.

In the next moment, an awe-inspiring sword light flashed, cutting through the sky with unparalleled brilliance.

A terrifying surge of sword energy shot into the sky, slicing through the massive foot of true essence and dispersing it instantly.

Then, Ye Daocang's voice echoed from within the Ye family estate.

"To attack my Ye family? If you aren't dead by today's end, I will reverse the order of my name!"

The moment Ye Daocang's voice rang out, not only the Ye family but all of Fengling County's residents felt a sense of reassurance.

Outside the Ye family's gate, the enforcer who had just attacked was stunned when Ye Daocang neutralized his technique so easily.

But upon hearing Ye Daocang's challenge, his anger flared, his killing intent soaring.

"Hmph! You think you can kill me? What arrogance!"

Furious, the enforcer prepared to strike again.

However, before he could act, Ye Daocang spoke once more.

"You think you're powerful? Killing you will only take one sword strike."

As his words fell, a terrifying sword light in the shape of a Blue Lotus cut through the sky, radiating an immense killing intent as it shot toward the enforcer.

In that instant, the world seemed to change, and the enforcer felt death looming over him, his face paling in horror.

Meanwhile, back at the Yang family's ancestral grave, Elder Ziji, who had been waiting calmly, suddenly sensed the danger.

An overwhelming aura exploded from him as he shouted, "Strike now!"
