Ye Zifeng's brows loosened up and his expression suddenly turned serious. He sent a palm strike towards a tree in the distance. This time, he didn't use any of his lightning qi.
That was because he wanted to try and see exactly how much destructive power he could achieve with just a full-powered strike from his body.
The tree was gently pushed by the wind from his palm and tilted to one side. However, it did not fall in the end.
"It seems like even though I'm at the peak of the fifth stage of qi refining, I still haven't reached the level that I want." Ye Zifeng looked at his hands in disappointment and shook his head.
However, in the next moment, there was a clear muffled sound. In the center of the tree, a small crack suddenly appeared. This crack spread along the lines of the tree, and even the bark cracked open completely.
"This is ….." Ye Zifeng looked up in shock.
After a loud bang, spiritual energy gushed out from the center of the big tree. At the same time, the big tree also completely exploded!
Ye Zifeng couldn't believe that this was actually happening.
After thinking about it for a bit, he understood. With the help of his hidden martial spirit, Ye Zifeng's strength had increased to the 6th stage of qi refining.
He was at the peak of the fifth stage of qi refining but he had the strength of someone at the 6th stage of qi refining. This wasn't even counting when he used his lightning qi.
Even though the current him couldn't compare to Wang Tianzhi, Bingqian, and the other experts in Leizhou City, they were all trained by their clans. Ye Zifeng couldn't catch up to them in just a few days.
However, he had already made up his mind. Sooner or later, he will surpass these so called geniuses and become one of the most influential people in Leizhou City.
"With my current physique, if I eat two profound tier pills, my body won't be able to handle it. That's good. I'll wait until the next sect mission."
Ye Zifeng adjusted his breathing for a bit and stood up. He had been training too hard and only now did he realize that it was already early in the morning.
"I wonder if they'll be worried about me if I don't return for the whole night."
Ye Zifeng walked all the way to the main street in front of the Ye clan and wanted to go home. However, the road to the Ye clan was filled with people. It was so crowded that not even a drop of water could trickle through.
A bad premonition arose in his heart. He walked towards the crowd and casually patted someone's shoulder.
"Brother, what are you all doing at the entrance of the Ye Mansion?"
That person turned around and unhappily said, "During the Heavenly Stairway Gathering, didn't the Ye Clan obtain 30% of the trade with Tiandao City? That's why we, small clans, wanted to talk about renting the trade route. Who would have thought that we would be refused the moment we arrived? If the Ye Clan still refuses to meet guests, then we'll have to go find the Liu Clan and the Wang Clan."
Hearing this, Ye Zifeng furrowed his brows. Trade was not a small matter. The Ye clan wasn't very strong right now and needed the help of a reliable ally. There was no need for them to act like a big shot. Ye Zifeng didn't know what Ye Chongtian was thinking.
He quickly walked to the back door of the Ye Clan and flew into the inner courtyard of the Ye Clan.
"Who dares to barge into my Ye Clan ….."
Ye Huichi shouted. Right when he was about to use his sword to teach the intruder a lesson, he looked carefully and saw that the intruder was Ye Zifeng.
"So it's cousin! Forgive me for being presumptuous. "Ye Huichi awkwardly smiled and quickly put his sword back into its sheath. Ever since the Heavenly Stairway Gathering, his cousin's name had spread throughout Leizhou City. This gave him a lot of face. Also, Ye Zifeng's encouragement towards him during the Heavenly Stairway Gathering changed his attitude towards Ye Zifeng.
"But cousin, why did you suddenly fly in through the back door?"
Ye Zifeng rolled his eyes, "Nonsense. The front door was blocked. How do you expect me to squeeze in?"
"No way. Those people are still here?" Ye Huichi couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, they're quarreling outside. Alright, I'm not going to talk to you anymore. Where's father? I'm going to talk to him about this. "
Ye Huichi's expression turned ugly and went closer to Ye Zifeng, "Cousin, father had a meal with a few old friends last night. I don't know if it's because he ate something bad or something, but he's lying on the bed and can't get up right now ….."
Ye Zifeng's eyes widened, "What? Something like that happened? Bring me to him!"
The two of them quickly went to Ye Chongtian's room and saw Xueyi sitting in the room soaking in medicine.
"Brother Zifeng. You're finally back." Seeing her brother come back, Xueyi's eyes lit up.
Ye Zifeng nodded at his sister.
"Father, how are you feeling? What happened? "Ye Zifeng walked to the bed and saw that Ye Chongtian's face was pale and his forehead was covered in sweat.
"Brother Zifeng. Don't ask father. He's in such a bad state right now. He didn't sleep at all."
"No way. Is it that serious?"
Ye Zifeng furrowed his brows and looked at Ye Chongtian. He saw that Ye Chongtian's lips and teeth were purple and there was a dark green color between his eyebrows.
He immediately turned pale with fright and said, "How is this a stomach upset? It's clearly a sign of poisoning!"
"Poison?" Ye Chongtian shook his head and struggled to sit up. "That's impossible. We've been friends for so many years. How could he have poisoned me?"
As he spoke, he coughed heavily. His face was pale and powerless. Xueyi had a helpless look on her face. She lightly patted his back and told him to calm down.
"So what if we're friends? If there's a conflict of interest, they might sell you out. "
Ye Zifeng sighed. It doesn't matter if it was the Wang clan or the Liu clan that did it. If Ye Chongtian doesn't have a good heart, then he won't even know when he dies.
"No way. We've been friends for so many years. It's just a celebration party. Our Ye clan has always treated them well. They won't harm me just for some small benefits."
"If it's not for some small benefits, then what about the big benefits?" Ye Zifeng shook his head.
Ye Chongtian was a straightforward and forthright person, a person who valued loyalty. When his clan was at its peak, he was naturally glorious, with hundreds responding to his call. However, if the clan was in a difficult situation, then his forthrightness would be easily taken advantage of by those with ulterior motives. Ye Zifeng had seen this many times in his previous life when he was a Martial Lord.
Ye Zifeng sighed, "Let's not talk about this anymore. We can't go on like this. These two days are the most important time for us to rope in the smaller clans. If we give them the cold shoulder on the first day, then they might go over to the Wang clan and the Liu clan. This will be bad for our Ye clan's future development. "
Ye Chongtian understood this so he didn't tell anyone that he was sick. He wanted to rest for a bit and then tell someone to open the door.
"Zifeng's right. Come. Help me up and bring me to the guest room." He tried to put his feet on the ground but felt as if someone had filled his legs with lead. He couldn't even lift them up.
"Come. What are you guys standing there for? Give me a hand."
Ye Xue Yi looked at him worriedly and sighed deeply, "Alright, Father, don't try to be brave. With your current appearance, it's not impossible for you to faint in the living room later. I think we should just let it go. "
"How can we just let it go like this? This is the Ye clan's chance to rebuild their clan. We can't let the Wang clan and the Liu clan laugh at us."
Just as he was about to sit up, he suddenly felt a sweetness in his throat. An arrow of blood shot out from his mouth and dyed half of the pillow red.
"Father ….. Look at yourself." Ye Xueyi mumbled. This time, she won't let Ye Chongtian out no matter what.
Ye Chongtian was a Martial Spirit. Even if he was poisoned, it wouldn't take his life. However, no matter how hard he tried, he wouldn't be able to get out of bed today.
Ye Feng pondered for a moment. Ye Zichen looked at him calmly, "Alright, Father, rest well. Leave the matter of receiving the guests to me."
Hearing this, the three of them were startled and stared at Ye Zifeng.
"What did you just say?"
"I said that I wanted to talk to them about renting the trade route."
After a while, Ye Chongtian's expression changed, "Are you kidding me? The trade quota for Tiandao City is a very important matter. Which clan didn't send a person of virtue and prestige here? Even if you achieved extraordinary results in the Heavenly Clan Gathering, in their eyes, you're just a twenty year old kid. Who would listen to you?"
Ye Xueyi also tried to persuade him, "That's right brother Zifeng. These people are all stubborn old men. We won't be able to win against them."
Ye Huichi also shook his head: "Cousin, I admit that you're a well-known figure among the young talents. However, the matter of the shares of the trade route is the matter of the adults. As juniors, we shouldn't get involved."
Ye Zifeng had a serious expression on his face, "Then can you guys think of a better way? Do you guys want father to faint in the guest room or do you guys think that it's better to close the door and not see anyone? "
"This ….." The three of them looked at each other. Maybe it was just as Ye Zifeng said. It was better for him to take over.
