"My friend, there is no need to be embarrassed, we are just preparing for the worst."
Ye Tianfang saw Ye Feng's nervousness and continued with a smile:
"A big war is inevitable tomorrow. Although we are well prepared, we still have to be prepared for any eventuality. Of course, my friend can choose not to come with us anymore. This is naturally the safest."
"This... let's go together!"
Ye Feng was really hesitant. He really had something to hide, but when he glanced at Ye Minsheng who had stopped playing with the little wolf and was looking at him expectantly, his heart finally softened and he agreed to continue walking.
"My little friend's cultivation level can't even be seen through by my third uncle, so I think he's not weak at all. If there are any changes tomorrow, I'd like to ask my little friend to help take Sheng'er away."
Ye Tianfang wanted to know that Ye Feng would not leave alone, so he nodded and said.
"good!"
Ye Feng did not refuse.
"The two villages of Black Dragon and Red Tiger, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, have extremely strong foundations. They would never dare to attack here. We judge that the location of their ambush should be at Broken Sword Mountain.
The terrain there is steep and uninhabited for hundreds of miles, making it an excellent place for an ambush.
Our Ye family has never lacked passionate men. We know that there are tigers in the mountains, so we prefer to go there. Besides, this is also an opportunity. We need to find out the real culprit hidden behind the scenes, so we will not run away."
Ye Tianfang knew that Ye Feng would definitely have questions, so he explained briefly.
"Don't worry! I have a special physique, and most people can't see through my cultivation. In fact, I'm only in the late stage of Qi Condensation, so I have some ability to protect myself!"
Ye Feng also knew that they had been guessing about his cultivation, so he simply said it openly.
"Good fellow, at the late stage of Qi Condensation at the age of sixteen or seventeen, our ancestor Ye Tiangang was no more than that back then!"
The old man nodded approvingly and continued:
"Sheng'er, you two must not take action tomorrow. Once things become impossible, leave immediately."
"I know, Grandpa Zu!"
Ye Minsheng did not dare to be disrespectful to the old man at all, so he replied honestly.
"We are all tired today. Let's take a rest early."
The old man said no more, stood up and left.
There was nothing to talk about, so Ye Feng stood up and left.
The poor little wolf was hugged by Ye Minsheng and didn't let go at all. He could only look at Ye Feng pitifully. Ye Feng had no choice but to let him stay, and the little wolf could only accept his fate.
Broken Sword Mountain is indeed worthy of its name. From a distance, it looks like a giant sword stuck in the ground, which makes people marvel at the uncanny craftsmanship of nature.
Most of the places here are exposed bluestones, except for a few low shrubs in some stone nests, which have been destroyed by the midday sun. There is almost no grass growing, so it is no wonder that there is no human habitation.
The road is built along the mountain, passing under the Broken Sword Mountain and around the peak. If someone were hiding behind the peak, it would be difficult to find them.
"Xu..."
As soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, Ye Tianfang reined in his galloping mount and said loudly:
"Come out! Being sneaky is not what a gentleman does."
"boom!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge boulder dozens of feet away exploded.
Large pieces of rubble shot out like bullets.
"Even a small trick is here to show off!"
Ye Tan, the eighth uncle, looked the most elegant, but had the hottest temper. He sneered, made a mistake with his palms, and didn't know what kind of magic he used. The gravel turned into powder and drifted away in the wind.
"Jiejie, Jiejie, I came here prepared as expected, but today you will never come back."
As a sinister word came out, six figures appeared more than ten feet away as if teleporting.
All six of them were dressed in black outfits, with devil masks on their faces, which did look a bit creepy.
"Five little devils! Hahaha, you are worthy of being a bunch of monsters like you!"
Ye Tan sneered.
"Jie, Jie, Jie, Ye Tan, you are really an old fool. How can you deceive us with your tricks like this? Hand over the girl if you are wise, and I will spare your life today."
The evil ghost with the cyan mask said with a smile.
In fact, at first glance, the five of them seem to be similar, regardless of their height, body shape, or attire, but with a little closer attention, you can see the differences in their masks, which are in five colors: cyan, red, green, blue, and black.
"Hahahahaha!"
Ye Tan looked up to the sky and laughed wildly:
"Green-faced ghost, you were lucky enough to escape with your life a hundred years ago, but you didn't know how to cherish it. Now you dare to show up today. I can only blame you for seeking death."
Ye Tan has a fiery temper. After saying this, he kicked off his mount, leaped ten feet up, and flew towards the green-faced ghost like a roc spreading its wings.
"Well done!"
The green-faced ghost was not afraid at all, and he jumped ten feet. Between the lightning and flint, his palms were like butterflies piercing flowers, connecting dozens of seals before pushing forward.
"Boom"
Following a shocking explosion, Ye Tan hung motionless in the air, but the green-faced ghost let out a scream and hit the ground like a cannonball.
Accompanied by another loud noise, a huge crater of several feet was made on the hard bluestone ground. A scream like a slaughtering pig was heard from the flying rubble, and then there was no sound.
"Humph! If you don't take the road to heaven, you can come to hell without a door. If you like to pretend to be a ghost, then go ahead and be a ghost!"
Ye Tan slowly landed on the ground and flicked his sleeves lightly, not even looking at the huge crater made by the green-faced ghost.
"Pap-pap-pap!"
One ghost was killed instantly and the other four ghosts were suppressed. It was obvious that Ye Tan's strength was beyond comprehension. Just when they didn't know what they were doing wrong, a burst of applause suddenly broke out.
The applause was a bit erratic, making it difficult to determine the direction, but there was no need to look for it, because there were dozens of people floating towards them from a hundred feet away.
What happened here made Ye Feng a little confused. He didn't see Ye Tan's action clearly just now, but he knew that this was definitely not something that could be done with Qi Condensation cultivation.
And the applause was even weirder. How could it be clearly audible from a hundred feet away?
"Immortal!"
Just when this word flashed through Ye Feng's mind, Ye Tianfang suddenly turned around and said:
"There is no need to worry. The eighth uncle is a monk in the early stage of the Golden Core. The five ghosts are just building foundations and are not worth mentioning."
"Golden elixir monk!"
These four simple words really shocked Ye Feng.
He already knew some cultivation systems. After the peak of Qi Condensation, the foundation is established to become an immortal. After the foundation is completed, the Golden Elixir stage begins. After the Golden Elixir, one becomes Nascent Soul.
These are naturally what Tang Yuanpeng is nagging about. According to him, the highest recorded cultivation level in Sin Domain is Nascent Soul. As for the transformation of gods after Nascent Soul, it is only a legendary existence.
The legend that foundations cannot be built in the Sin Realm is actually wrong. It is true that the laws are not perfect. However, some magic weapons can form a small mustard space, which is a small world of its own, and it is completely possible to build foundations in it.
Ye Feng was convinced of this, because the old man said that the valley he traveled through was the mustard space, and it was really no different from the real world.
"But these people later are not simple, and there may be some variables. Remember what I said, once the signal is given, you should leave with Sheng'er immediately. Sheng'er has already memorized the route, just let her lead the way."
