As the night fell, the lantern lights lit. Fireworks surrounded the whole of the Ye Residence – it was obvious that they were organising a big event.

At this moment, a huge crowd formed in front of the Ye Residence. The city masters near the Limestone City all arrived to attend the banquet with their congratulatory gifts. Their purpose was obviously to suck up to Ye Changsheng.

Now that Ye Changsheng had become the Qingyun League’s chief elect, his status superior from the rest, it would not be long before the Kingdom held him with high regard.

Furthermore, Ye Changsheng’s strength was stronger than some of the city masters. Such a talented fighter would be extremely frightening after development.

When else better to suck up to a talent like him?

The whole garden of the Ye Residence was filled with banquet – song and dance, rumbling of drums.

As for Ye Kuang and his brothers, they could not cover the smiles on their faces seeing the guests coming in one by one.

There was a saying that the whole family of an individual rose together along with his achievements.

The Ye Family used to be in its glory days with Ye Qing’s presence, and had never recovered since his downfall.

Now, another prodigy has appeared in the form of Ye Changsheng, and his gifts are not inferior to Ye Qing in the slightest.

Ye Changsheng and Yan Zhi sat within the palace with smiles on their faces and wine in their hands as they continuously welcomed the clan masters and city masters who came to congratulate him.

Looking at face after face with expressions of admiration and fear, Ye Changsheng felt unimpressed instead.

His status was now far superior. Being with these people gave him a feeling that he was stooping himself lower.

Just like a man from a wealthy second generation from Jing City going to a poor village – no amount of congratulation would impress him.

“Changsheng, look at all these faces in awe, people trying to get on your good side. This treatment is only reserved for the strong. This is not enough. You need to make all the big family clan masters and city masters of the Tianwu Kingdom show that kind of expression as well in order to be truly regarded as a strong fighter.”

Yan Zhi took a sip of her wine and said.

“Yan Zhi, I hear you. If not for your schemes and plans, pinning Li Tianyang’s death on Ye Mo. Li Tianhe would never say that it was Ye Mo who threatened him and killed Xie Xiu. You are like a female Zhuge Liang. I will need more of your advice in the future.

Ye Changsheng said to Yan Zhi as he put on a smile and greeted those who came to congratulate him.

“This Ye Changsheng is cut from a different cloth indeed, such power at such a young age. He is indeed something special.”

The surrounding people looked at Ye Changsheng with their hearts filled with deep shock.

All their training over the years had only brought them to the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm!

“Everyone!” Seeing that most of the guests had arrived, Ye Kuang immediately stood up and said loudly, “Today, I have something to announce to everyone here. Changsheng is actually not my biological son, but the son of the Tianwu Kingdom’s greatest, Ye Qing. I had no choice but to hide his identity due to Ye Qing’s instructions in order to protect his son. Now that he has completely inherited his father’s gifts and completed his training of Hellfire martial techniques. The sword on his back is none other than his father’s spirit weapon – the Spirit of Hellfire!

Ye Kuang announced to everyone, remaining calm and collected, causing a shock wave to hit every one in the crowd.

With a simple wag of his finger, Ye Changsheng shot a Hellfire Finger Sword out of the palace and into the open space. An explosion followed and an extremely deep cave was immediately formed, with hellfire still burning along the edges.

A mere finger was enough to take everyone by a huge surprise. This fire-elemental energy was no ordinary fire-elemental energy.

“I see. Turns out he’s Ye Qing’s son. The son of a talent is also a talent.”

“This Ye Qing is calculative indeed. I’m afraid his son’s achievement is going to overshadow his own.”

“Hahaha, Ye Kuang, how shameless can you get?”

At that moment, just as when everyone was still trying to digest and process the huge revelation, a wild laughter was heard suddenly from afar.

Surprised, everyone looked into the distance.

They saw Xiao Yuanshan slowly walking forward with a man carrying a huge clock following behind him.

“I, Xiao Yuanshan of Limestone City, give my congratulations to the Ye Family. This is my present for you, no, for Ye Changsheng, the Genius Ye!”

As he spoke, Ye Mo directly threw the big clock down. The giant block, weighing thousands of kilograms, smashed against the ground creating a huge collision sound and causing the foundations of the floor to start trembling.

“Clock? You’re giving me a clock?”

Looking at the giant clock, Ye Changsheng was instantly enraged. With a leapt, he shot out in the air.

He angrily unleashed the Spirit of Hellfire in his hand, in an instant, everyone could feel the rise in temperature around them as they were blinded by the fiery light.

Unleashing a light blade pulled out a ten-metre long fiery blade. The ruthless fiery blade pounced at Xiao Yuanshan. Before the blade even landed its strike, everyone could see thick cracks forming underneath Xiao Yunshan’s feet.

It was obvious that this move was incredibly powerful.

Even the city masters of the other cities were secretly fearful – if it was them facing this blow, would they be able to take it?

Xiao Yuanshan coming to congratulate and gifting a clock was a clear sign of aggression.

“Xiao Yunshan, don’t think that just because you’re a True Energy Realm fighter, we Ye Family can’t do anything about you. Fighters who used True Energy Pills to reach the True Energy Realm are not even worth mentioning in front of me.”

Ye Changsheng let out an explosive roar, increasing the power of the fiery flow. The Spirit of Hellfire even let out a buzzing noise as the ground beneath Xiao Yuanshan’s feet started to collapse.

“How about those to use the glory of others to boost their own strength?”

Just as the fiery blade was about to land, Ye Mo instantly shifted in front of Xiao Yuanshan. With a wave of his dragon spear, the blade instantly vaporised. Ye Changsheng also took multiple steps back, with disbelief written all over his face.

“You are asking why I am here? Deep down in your heart, are you wondering why I am not dead yet?”

Looking at Ye Changsheng’s surprised voice, Ye Mo started to laugh mockingly, “You’re willing to abandon your father just to become stronger? First, you plot and scheme to make sure Auntie sentences me to death. Then, you return to the Limestone City and organise a big banquet, covering up the fact that I am Ye Qing’s son. Afterwards, you have nothing else to worry about, isn’t that right?”

“What nonsense are you spouting? I will kill you.”

Ye Changsheng’s expression changed dramatically as he waved the Spirit of Hellfire in his hand, “Hellfire Spirit!”

A wave of hardened, red energy rushed out furiously above the Spirit of Hellfire, as an actual Hellfire Spirit was formed. Its size was huge. Reaching its hands out, its nails were as sharp as knives.

“Ye Mo, I don’t care how you manage to escape. You killed Song Yang. I shall act on behalf of the Qingyun League. Don’t think that just because you defeated me last time, means you will be able to do so again this time. Based on my current strength, I am already in the peak of the Half True Energy Realm, and will make the breakthrough to the True Energy Realm any time. Die, both of you!”

The Hellfire Spirit started to dance, its fingers twirling in the air, drawing out ten rays of flames that were directed towards Ye Mo. The glow of the flames nearly engulfed the whole area.

“You’re about to break into the True Energy Realm? I have far exceeded the True Energy Realm.”

Ye Mo mocked as he struck his dragon spear in mid-air, perfecting combining the Will of the Sky Blood and Will of Slaughter, unleashing 3000 rays of Giant Dragon Power at once.

That spear attack also carried the authority of the dragon. The light blade directly landed on the Hellfire Spirit, and with a single slice, the Hellfire Spirit immediately exploded in mid-air.

With a shift of his body, Ye Mo instantly appeared in front of Ye Changsheng. Sending out a palm strike the speed of lightning, Ye Changsheng could barely even react to the attack.

“Hellfire Armor!”

Losing his composure, Ye Changsheng immediately generated his strongest defence – the Hellfire Armor, causing his surrounding to start burning in hellfire flames. However, Ye Mo’s palm completely ignored his Hellfire Armor.

Kacha!

The Hellfire Armor was broken immediately. Ye Mo’s palm strike landed on Ye Changsheng’s chest, sending him flying backwards into the palace.

“You are still nothing special even with Auntie’s nurturing. Today, I, Ye Mo, son of Ye Qing, shall take back everything from you!”
