The direct descendants of the He family had moved out long ago, but there were still many people living in the manor to keep it a secret. Some of them were guards from the Guardian Clans, while some were servants, but the only thing they had in common was that there were not many old people.
On the other hand, the old people that stayed had considerable authority in the He family manor at the moment, and they lived rather comfortable lives.
Nevertheless, it was destined to be an eventful day.
Suddenly, a thunderous roar came from the He family's backyard.
When this voice began to explode, the entire sky seemed to be greatly affected, and thus, the weather began to change.
After a short while, a dense layer of clouds began to converge in the direction of the backyard. Furthermore, within the layer of clouds that could not be seen through, there were traces of lightning that resembled silver snakes dancing chaotically.
Such a strange scene naturally alarmed everyone in the manor. However, anyone could tell with a single glance that the cloud was gathering in the direction of the backyard of the manor.
The He family manor's backyard was a mysterious forbidden area for everyone.
He Wude, the He family's great ancestor, had once issued an order that unless one was invited or allowed by the people in the backyard, apart from the servants who were in charge of cleaning, nobody was allowed to enter the backyard. Those who disobeyed the order would be executed in severe cases or chased out of the clan in light cases.
Moreover, those who were allowed to stay in the backyard were at least Venerable Ones.
For the old people in the manor, they were definitely unreachable beings.
Therefore, after seeing the unusual scene in the backyard, everyone looked at each other and could not make up their minds at all.
At this moment, a young man in the manor looked up nervously at the sky. Around him, several middle-aged men in luxurious clothes were anxiously waiting for his decision.
After some time, a middle-aged man went forward and asked carefully, "Steward Chen, you have to make a decision. Do you want to send someone in to take a look?"
The young man gritted his teeth as if he was planning something.
After a brief moment, he stomped his foot hard and said, "Send someone to the city to report to Second Master about the unforeseen event here. As for the backyard … "He paused for a moment, then suddenly raised his voice," I'll go in and take a look myself. "
The expressions of the middle-aged men behind him changed drastically. One of them muttered a reminder, "Chief Steward Chen, the Old Ancestor has given strict instructions. Anyone who is not allowed to enter will be severely punished. At the very least, they will be expelled from the He Clan Manor."
A trace of fear appeared on the faces of the remaining people.
Today, the He Clan Manor's position in the Northwest was so high that it had reached an incomparable level. Even the three great powers in the northwest were far inferior.
Although the young man in front of him wasn't a direct descendant of the He Clan, he was still from the He Clan. Moreover, he was trusted and used in an important position by the second great grandfather and the third generation disciples. He was now the head steward of the He Clan Manor.
In the eyes of these servants, such a position was already a limitless future.
If he were to represent the He Family Manor in other countries, the treatment he would receive would definitely not be inferior to that of a country's Duke or the Patriarch of a certain large family.
However, if he disobeyed the old man's order and entered the backyard, then the lightest punishment would be banishment from the He Family Manor. To them, that was a punishment more severe than death.
The young man smiled bitterly and said, "Before the three great grandfather left, he instructed me to take good care of everything in the clan. If anything unusual happens, I must investigate it." He took a deep breath and said, "My life belongs to the He Clan, so how can I shrink back and advance?"
The middle-aged man behind him said in a deep voice, "Chief Steward, why don't we send one of our servants to investigate?"
The young man shook his head and said, "They're as timid as mice, so how can they see anything? Just do as I say. "
When he said the last sentence, he suddenly emphasized his tone. The other people's hearts trembled, and they retreated one after another.
The expression in the young man's eyes changed a few times. In the end, he quickly stepped forward and sneaked into the backyard like a nimble cat.
Although he knew that if the person who caused such a scene was the He Clan Manor's enemy, it would be useless no matter how careful he was. But subconsciously, he still wanted to hide himself deeply. It would be best if he could escape unscathed after investigating the cause of the strange phenomenon in the sky.
He cautiously sneaked into the backyard like a thief.
Just as he poked his head out from behind a building, he felt two scorching breaths coming from behind him.
Although he was not timid, he still felt a chill from the top of his head to his spine and spread to every part of his body.
Even his heart seemed to have stopped beating at this moment.
"According to the He Clan's rules, no one is allowed to casually step into the backyard. What are you doing here?"
A familiar voice entered his ears.
After hearing this voice, the young man's soul returned to his body in an instant.
He abruptly turned around and instantly saw a top-notch character that everyone in the He Clan Manor knew. Beside this person, a tall, snow-white unicorn was quietly standing there. The two scorching breaths that he felt just now came from the unicorn's nostrils.
Without a second word, he knelt down on the ground and said, "Sixth Master, you're back. This lowly one, He Chen, pays his respects to you."
He Yiming nodded slightly. In an instant, he remembered this person's background.
Although he was not old, he was one of the elders in the He Clan Manor. Furthermore, he was highly valued by his father and was now the manager of the He Clan Manor.
"Get up." He Yiming raised his hand and with a surge of divine power, he lifted He Chen up.
He Chen did not dare to resist at all. In fact, even if he wanted to resist, he did not have the ability to.
He lowered his head and said respectfully, "Sixth Master, this lowly one saw the strange phenomenon in the backyard and was worried. That was why I disobeyed the Old Ancestor's orders and came in to take a look." He lowered his head even more. "This lowly one has violated the clan's rules and will ask for forgiveness in front of the Old Ancestor."
He Yiming laughed involuntarily. He finally understood the other party's intentions and why he made such a choice.
He was appointed as the manager of the manor. If such a strange phenomenon happened and he could not explain it, he would be immediately replaced by his father and it would be difficult for him to stand out in the future.
Rather than that, he might as well take a gamble and come in to see what exactly happened. If he discovered something, he would naturally be able to make up for his mistakes.
This person's mind was lively and he was not inflexible. Furthermore, he was loyal and devoted to the He Clan and was willing to risk his life to enter this place. It was no wonder that his father valued him so much and gave him this manor to manage.
Shaking his head slightly, He Yiming said, "You were also worried about the manor's safety. What crime did you commit? If anyone talks about this matter, tell them to come find me. "
He Chen was instantly overjoyed.
In the He Clan, although the Old Ancestor was He Wude, everyone knew that the person who truly held the supreme position should be this young Supreme Dao elite warrior in front of them.
Since he had obtained his forgiveness, then his position in the He Clan Manor was not only as stable as Mount Tai, but it could also be predicted that his position would rise with the tide in the future.
"Rumble …"
A shocking bolt of lightning suddenly flashed across the sky. The weather here seemed to be getting worse.
He Chen looked at the sky with fear and trepidation. His face was pale and bloodless. The only thought in his mind was that perhaps the He Clan had offended the heavens, which was why the heavens sent down divine lightning to punish them.
However, he secretly glanced at He Yiming beside him and saw that his face was filled with joy. His eyes flowed with indescribable satisfaction and happiness.
This expression seemed to have nothing to do with the heavens' punishment no matter what.
He even had a strange feeling in his heart. Could it be that this dangerous weather was actually caused by the Fifth Lord?
At the thought of this, his heart instantly thumped wildly.
The Fifth Lord was a legendary figure who had already become a god. Perhaps, this Lightning was really summoned by him.
He Yiming gently waved his hand and said, "This is none of your business. You can leave. Take care of the people in the manor and don't let them wander around."
He Chen hurriedly responded and quickly retreated out of the backyard. Although he managed to avoid the terrifying lightning, he did not know why, but there was a trace of regret and reluctance in his heart.
"Go to the city and inform the Second Lord that the Fifth Lord has returned."
Following He Chen's instructions, the entire manor instantly became busy again.
Although there were still rolling dark clouds overhead and Lightning was roaring, there were not many people in the manor who were worried about this anymore.
This was because they all knew that this strange phenomenon was summoned by the Fifth Lord, so there was no need to worry at all.
At this moment, He Yiming, who was in the backyard, was indeed filled with joy. This feeling absolutely came from the bottom of his heart and was not forced in the slightest.
After Mou Zilong had swallowed the Dual Cultivation Pill, it had only been two days before the strange phenomenon in the sky changed.
He Yiming was no stranger to this strange phenomenon.
When he had advanced to the False God Realm, a similar astronomical phenomenon had occurred. Furthermore, it was even more violent and intense than this astronomical phenomenon.
Man passed to earth, earth passed to heaven, and man became one.
When a Supreme Dao expert advanced a step further and ascended to an even higher level, the appearance of a mere celestial phenomenon was already nothing strange.
This strange astronomical phenomenon lasted for an entire day before it slowly dissipated.
During this period of time, He Yihai, who was stationed in Taicang County, had already rushed back and met He Yiming. When he learned that Mou Zilong was about to advance, He Yihai was overjoyed.
The stronger the Supreme Dao expert in the He Clan Manor was, the more benefits it would bring to the He Clan Manor.
He Yihai could not wait for Mou Zilong to become invincible.
Under everyone's patient waiting, the Lightning in the sky slowly weakened after a day and finally disappeared without a trace. The clouds in the sky also slowly thinned and faded.
The sun shone down once again and the entire He Clan Manor was enveloped in a dazzling golden light. It was as if the crops that had been diligently cultivated had finally reached the perfect season to be harvested.
