At this moment, Su Lang's cultivation speed had directly increased by four times compared to before!
This meant he could now advance from a novice warrior to an intermediate warrior in just five hours!
It's unbelievable! It's insane!
"I wonder how awesome it would be if I upgraded the One-Key Martial Arts function to Level 5?"
Su Lang sucked in a breath, but when he looked at his remaining gold coin balance, he couldn't help but smile helplessly.
He only had a little over 74,000 gold coins left, which was far from enough to upgrade the One-Key Martial Arts function.
"I'll have to earn more money."
Su Lang turned to look out the window, a smile slowly spreading across his lips.
A complete E-grade stronghold would definitely be worth more than tens of thousands of gold coins!
However, wiping out an E-grade stronghold with the strength of a peak warrior in a short time was still risky.
So Su Lang lay back on his bed, preparing to wait until he became an intermediate warrior before taking action.
Meanwhile...
Apart from Yang Tianrui, Yang Shi, and Yang Zhen, the other three Yang family guards had been ruthlessly eliminated.
A guest martial artist from the Ye family was also silenced.
They never expected that instead of dying at the hands of their enemies, they would be brutally murdered by their own people.
At this moment, Ye Lingfeng had already returned to the Ye family mansion and met with Ye Feizhang, the head of the Ye family, and Ye Xiangming, Ye Lingfeng's father.
"Grandfather! Father!"
Ye Lingfeng bowed respectfully. Despite his pride, he dared not act willfully before Ye Feizhang and Ye Xiangming.
"Lingfeng, have the killer been dealt with?" Ye Feizhang asked calmly as he sipped his tea.
"Hahaha, my son is meticulous. There should be no mistakes," Ye Xiangming chuckled. "That person who killed your brother and destroyed our Ye family stronghold must have died miserably!"
"Grandfather, Father..."
Ye Lingfeng hesitated. "That person didn't die, and in fact, we never even saw him throughout the entire operation!"
"What? How is that possible?" Ye Feizhang's smile froze, his tone turning serious. "Didn't you set up a foolproof trap with the Yang family and surround them? The success rate was supposed to be perfect!"
"We did indeed surround someone, but..."
Ye Lingfeng took a deep breath and recounted in detail the process of surrounding Su Lang's clone.
"What? You're saying that Su Lang advanced from an ordinary person to a novice warrior in just a day or two!?"
"And you're saying that Su Lang summoned his black-robed subordinates out of thin air?"
"And that he was about to reach the introductory level of a technique in just a few minutes?"
"Lingfeng, isn't this nonsense?" Ye Feizhang was dumbfounded, then rose from his chair with a clatter!
Clang!
Even Ye Feizhang, as a martial lord and the head of the Ye family, had long achieved a calm demeanor.
But at this moment, how could his heart remain calm? It was like facing a raging storm and a turbulent sea!
"Grandson, are you sure this is all true?"
He hurriedly walked up to Ye Lingfeng, his eyes wide open.
"It's all true!"
Ye Lingfeng spoke convincingly. "That Su Lang definitely harbors a huge secret!"
"Hiss!"
Both Ye Feizhang and Ye Xiangming gasped in shock. They believed Ye Lingfeng wouldn't speak nonsense.
"By the way, does anyone else know about this secret?" Ye Feizhang quickly asked.
"Yes, but..."
Ye Lingfeng turned and called out, "Yang Tianrui, come in!"
Ye Feizhang and Ye Xiangming looked towards the door, seeing Yang Tianrui walking in with utmost respect.
"Respectfully greets the head of the family!"
Seeing Ye Feizhang and Ye Xiangming, Yang Tianrui knelt down without hesitation.
"What is this?"
Ye Feizhang and Ye Xiangming exchanged glances.
But they weren't fools and quickly understood the reason—Ye Lingfeng must have won over Yang Tianrui!
"Grandson, you've done well!"
Ye Feizhang nodded in satisfaction, then helped Yang Tianrui up. "Master Yang, rest assured. As long as you do not fail my Ye family, I will not treat you unfairly!"
"Thank you for accepting me!"
Yang Tianrui stood up with a smile on his face, but bitterness filled his heart.
This time, he was really taken advantage of by Yang Shi, that bastard!
If he had known earlier, he might as well have spat on him!
