Wang Ce received Ye Yang's order and began an unprecedented purge of the officialdom of Bahuang City. A total of 187 people were found to be involved.
They all accepted money from Mu Chengping, ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions of gold coins. These people accounted for almost three-quarters of the officials in Bahuang City.
As a result, these officials and the city guard Mu Chengping were pushed out of the city and beheaded that afternoon, causing a great shock throughout the city.
It was impossible not to be shocked. Almost all the officials in the city were killed at once, and no one was not shocked.
But when word spread that these people had joined forces to embezzle pension funds, the people spat on their corpses one by one.
After this cleanup, in addition to returning the embezzled gold coins, a large amount of accounts were also seized. These are the people's wealth that these officials have plundered over the years.
Wang Ce followed Ye Yang's instructions and distributed the withheld gold coins. At the same time, he also distributed the seized accounts to some extremely poor civilians.
Suddenly, the whole city, like celebrating the New Year, was praising the great achievements of Marquis Tianwu. For a time, Ye Yang was like a god in the hearts of everyone in Bahuang City.
However, Ye Yang did not know about these funeral events. After leaving the matter to Wang Ce, he returned to the Ye family.
None of the family expected that Ye Yang would arrive suddenly, and the entire Ye clan was in a state of panic. Ye Lingtian, Ye Yuhan, Ye Qingxuan, Feng Qing'er and others all came after hearing the news.
It turns out that after passing through this beast wave, everyone experienced a real life-and-death fight. Both their cultivation and realm have been greatly improved, and they have retreated to practice.
Now it was the first time they had gathered together after the war. When Feng Qing'er saw Ye Yang's beautiful eyes turned red, she threw herself directly into Ye Yang's arms.
Ye Yang also hugged Feng Qing'er tightly. Wu Youlan's departure this time made him cherish these confidante in front of him even more.
Seeing Ye Qingxuan's pretty eyes were reddish and full of joy, Ye Yang stretched out his other arm and directly pulled her into his arms, hugging her tightly.
Ye Lingtian looked at the three people hugging each other tightly in front of him, the corner of his mouth curled up, and his eyes were filled with relief.
After the two girls' emotions stabilized slightly, Ye Yang began to greet everyone.
"Brother, it's great to have you back," Luo Xuefeng said with excitement.
Ye Yuhan nodded to Ye Yang and said, "Just come back."
"Boss, Feifei wants a hug too," Meng Feilang said angrily, but was slapped aside by Ye Yang, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
Suddenly a black shadow jumped out and rushed towards Ye Yang. Ye Yang laughed loudly and collided with the black shadow, causing even the hall to tremble.
Ye Yang smiled and said, "Xiong Kaishan, I didn't expect you to break through so quickly."
It turned out that the black shadow was actually a black bear as tall as a person, hugging Ye Yang, it was Xiong Kaishan.
Now it has adapted to the outside environment. Three days ago, it broke through the sixth level and became an ancient bear king.
Now that it has advanced, it can freely control the size of its body and simply shrink it to adult size.
Ye Lingtian patted Ye Yang on the shoulder, looked at his son with a dusty look on his face, and sighed, "Thank you for your hard work, kid. How's it going in the imperial capital?"
Ye Yang briefly explained the situation there, but concealed some of the royal-level battles.
After all, this place is too far away from the imperial capital, and the information is limited. Many things are unknown here.
Everyone was excited when they heard that Ye Yang defeated the enemy, especially Luo Xuefeng and Meng Fei, who shouted that it was a pity that they could not catch up.
"By the way, boss, how is senior Wu Youlan doing?" Meng Fei suddenly asked.
Ye Yang's face darkened, and he told everyone the news of Wu Youlan's death, which made everyone feel sad.
Fortunately, the culprit was dead, and the revenge was finally avenged. Everyone comforted Ye Yang.
After some exchanges, Ye Yang learned that after he left, two groups of magical beasts came, but the scale was not high. At the highest, there was only one fifth-level magical beast attacking the city, which did not cause any damage to Bahuang City.
Moreover, the last two groups of beasts became a training ground for everyone, and Xiong Kaishan was behind them to solve their worries.
Ye Yuhan, Luo Xuefeng, Feng Qing'er, Ye Qingxuan and Meng Fei all rushed into the monster and started fighting.
Most of the monsters died in Luo Xuefeng's hands. This time, Luo Xuefeng was satisfied with killing them. Two groups of monsters were chopped down for seven days in a row. Luo Xuefeng never stopped, as if he was possessed and crazy.
After these two waves of beasts, their combat prowess surged, especially Luo Xuefeng who had already broken through the military generals and reached the eighth level of military generals, second only to Ye Yuhan.
Ye Yuhan has now reached the peak of martial arts cultivation, and is just one step away from breaking through to the level of a powerful Martial King.
Ye Qingxuan and Feng Qing'er were both seventh-level military commanders. During this time, Feng Qing'er could finally refine the wood spirit crystals with peace of mind, and her cultivation level began to catch up.
What surprised Ye Yang the most was that Lian Mengfei, a lazy guy, actually broke through to become a spiritual master in such a short period of time and became a third-level spiritual master.
Meng Fei is now in the limelight in Bahuang City. He moves in and out of the beasts with one man and one sword in a very showy way. From time to time, explosions are heard and the beasts fly with flesh and blood. Almost all the soldiers in the city remember him.
Face, this made him, who was already extremely vain, extremely satisfied.
Perhaps vanity is also a source of motivation, which prompts Meng Fei to almost never rest, keep writing inscriptions, constantly consuming his spiritual power, and allowing himself to level up quickly.
Ye Yang shook his head secretly. It seemed that he had become the person with the lowest cultivation level in the team again, but he was very happy to see the people around him getting stronger one by one.
Ye Yang said to everyone, "When I come back this time, I have an extremely important thing to announce to everyone."
Seeing Ye Yang's solemn words, everyone hurriedly listened attentively.
"When Youlan left, I vowed to uproot the Uda Empire and avenge her."
"Now the emperor has issued a battle order, and experts from all sides are converging on the imperial capital. I am coming back this time to inform you."
Ye Yang's words made everyone in the hall tremble. You must know that Tianwu and Wu Da have been fighting for many years, and it seems that Tianwu has always suffered. Now Ye Yang's idea is too bold.
"Okay, brother, you must take me with you. I have long wanted to kill these bastards," Luo Xuefeng said with excitement.
Ye Yuhan nodded and said he had no objection.
Meng Fei's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "The boss is the boss. This is a great idea. I, Meng Fei, must become the hero of Tianwu this time. Show that to that old guy who looks down on me."
Ye Qingxuan and Feng Qing'er didn't speak. They looked at Ye Yang tenderly with their beautiful eyes. It was obvious that they would follow Ye Yang wherever he went.
Ye Yang glanced at everyone and smiled and said, "If you don't have any objections, this matter is settled. From now on, everyone will work hard to practice. I will make some preparations in the shortest possible time."
After everyone nodded, they went back to continue practicing. After everyone left, Ye Yang and Ye Lingtian came to a study room.
"Father, after this incident with Uda is over, I want to see my mother," Ye Yang said, staring at Ye Lingtian.
Ye Lingtian nodded and said, "Although your cultivation level is not high now, you should be able to protect yourself. I promise you that after this time is over, I will take you back to the Ye Clan."
"Ye Clan?" Ye Yang was stunned.
Ye Lingtian looked at Ye Yang and said, "The Ye Clan today is not actually our home. Fifteen years ago, I took you, who was only a few months old, to escape here while being hunted."
Ye Lingtian looked out the window and fell into memories and said, "In that battle, after I killed all the enemies, I was seriously injured and fell into a coma."
"When I woke up, I found that I was rescued by the head of the Ye family here, who is also the grandfather you call me. If it weren't for your grandfather, I'm afraid we, father and son, would have died long ago."
"Although he is not your biological grandfather, you must remember that he saved our lives, father and son."
"Later, I joined the Ye family. Your grandfather entrusted the Ye family to me before his death, hoping that I could protect the Ye family, so I became the head of the Ye family."
"Your grandfather has been promoting to the outside world that I am his lost son. This is to conceal my identity. My identity is actually..."
Ye Lingtian is actually a member of the Ye family of the four major secluded families in Yuzhou: Mei, Hua, Bamboo, and Yezhong.
The four hidden families do not belong to any force. They are families passed down from ancient times and have been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years.
They are superior to all the forces in Yuzhou, but the disciples of these four families rarely travel outside, so there are not many records about them.
Only the older generation or the forces with a longer inheritance will know the existence of the four major families, which casts an extremely mysterious shadow over the four major families.
For the first time, Ye Yang knew that his father had such a great background, but he became more and more confused as to why his father was so depressed.
Ye Lingtian continued to tell the story. It turned out that the Ye family was prosperous, with a population of several million, and lived in seclusion in a small world. It was similar to the Youyu Secret Realm that Ye Yang entered, and it was a space created by the Great Power.
The prosperous Ye family has a large population and an equally large number of branches, so some struggles are inevitable. However, due to the clan rules, they dare not be too unrestrained.
Eighteen years ago, Ye Lingtian fell in love with a genius from the direct line of the Ye family. That genius was also Ye Yang's mother, and she also fell in love with Ye Lingtian. The two soon fell in love.
Due to the strong opposition from their parents' families, many obstacles were set up for the two of them, but they never gave up on each other and fell in love secretly.
Until the birth of Ye Yang, Ye Yang's mother's natal family was furious, and they forcibly imprisoned Ye Yang's mother, and secretly framed Ye Lingtian, preparing to kill both father and son secretly.
Ye Lingtian sensed the crisis and escaped from the Ye Clan with Ye Yang, but was hunted down all the way. During the half-year pursuit, Ye Lingtian fled to Bahuang City, and only then did a series of things happen.
After Ye Yang listened quietly, a cold look flashed in his eyes and asked, "Is my mother still alive?"
A trace of pain flashed in Ye Lingtian's eyes, "Your mother is still alive, and I can feel her missing you all the time, but your mother must have had a very hard life over the years."
He patted Ye Yang on the shoulder and said, "The Ye family is a reclusive family. Even among the branches, there are many masters. So you will encounter a lot of setbacks after you go. Are you sure you want to go so soon?"
Ye Yang clenched his fists and said firmly, "I can wait, but my mother can't wait. When this matter in the Uda Empire is over, I will go find my mother, and no one can stop me."
"If anyone dares to forcefully stop him, I will beat him to death." Ye Yang was heartbroken. (To be continued)
