C21 Mu Wan'er

Ye Feng couldn't help but be suspicious of the thought. His aura turned cold as he clenched his jaw.

"Saint Ruler definitely has something to do with the destruction of the Ye family. Not only is he extremely powerful, but he is also sinister, cruel, and overbearing. This man has killed countless loyal soldiers."

Mu Tianqi said as he confirmed his nephew's suspicions. There was hatred in his eyes.

"Because of the jealousy towards the Ye family's prestige in the Imperial City at that time, the Chen Family, Zhou Family, Wang Family, and Lee Family participated in this matter. These families colluded with the Saint Ruler and persecuted the Ye Family, which is extremely despicable!"

Mu Tianqi continued to speak with a cold light in his eyes. He recalled what had happened ten years ago.

A wave of monstrous anger bloomed from Ye Feng's body, and his eyes were turning red in anger as he listened quietly. Then he said, "The imperial city forces are intricate and complex. The Ye family is loyal to the country and has achieved great military success. However, so many forces pushed us aside and even plotted against us. Is being despicable the best policy if you want to survive in the Zhao State?"

Ye Feng's heart was incomparably cold. The world of martial arts was cruel like that. It followed the law of the jungle. The strong preyed on the weak. Only the fittest survived.

Saint Ruler had tremendous power, and when the Ye Family was on the brink of overpowering him, he suppressed them by obtaining the support from many dependent forces and brutalizing the good people.

There were no real rules in this world. If one had the power and strength, one could rule. When their power and strength surpassed other people, every move of theirs was a decree. They could even decide the life and death of others.

"Ye Feng, I know how you feel. I am telling you these things so you wouldn't act impulsively. Your strength is not enough compared to Saint Ruler or the other four families. I hope the things I've told you can motivate you to move forward and strive to improve your strength so that you can fight against these major powers as soon as possible and wash away your parents' grievances!"

With an earnest look in his eyes, Mu Tianqi let out a long sigh.

"Understood!"

Ye Feng gradually calmed down. His uncle was right. If he wanted to take revenge for his parents and rebuild the Ye Family, he still had a long way to go.

In a world where the strong preyed on the weak, one could only strengthen oneself to earn dignity and trample the enemies.

"What I want to know is, how are my parents now? Are they doing well?"

Ye Feng's expression was solemn. All along, he had always been concerned about the safety of his parents.

His uncle stared at the cup of tea for a moment, then answered, "There had been no news about your father since he left by himself. However, your grandfather brought your mother home before the ruin of the Ye Family." He took a sip of the tea, then continued, "But she left after that to look for your father. But don't worry. With their abilities, they should be fine. I assure you that the three of you will be reunited soon."

Mu Tianqi sighed with a smile.

When he heard his uncle's reassuring words, Ye Feng's eyes sparkled as he smiled. Although he was only five years old then, he knew clearly that his parents were both talented and powerful people. Even if they were far away from the Zhao State, they should have no difficulty establishing themselves.

"Of course. Soon I, Ye Feng, will bring my parents back to the Imperial City with dignity."

Ye Feng's eyes were filled with determination. When he found out that his parents were still alive, the worry and pain he felt in his heart finally went away.

"I believe you can do it."

Mu Tianqi nodded slightly at Ye Feng. He could feel the young man's intense obsession and strong willpower.

"Dad, do we have a guest?"

A sweet voice of a young girl from outside the tent suddenly interrupted, followed by the opening of the tent's door. A beautiful figure entered and appeared in front of them.

Ye Feng turned his head in her direction and saw a young girl. She looked somewhere between fourteen and fifteen years old.

The girl had a tall and slender figure. Her delicate facial features seemed to have been carved out by the greatest sculptor. A tender aura emitted from her pure face.

Her fair skin was fine and smooth. The light pink skirt she was wearing outlined her beautiful figure. Her ink-like black hair casually scattered down her shoulders.

Her entirety exuded youthful vigor. Although she wasn't of age, her stunning beauty started to come out.

Her big, bright, and lively eyes were staring curiously at Ye Feng.

"Wan'er, come here!"

Mu Tianqi smiled when he saw the girl.

The young girl came closer to them as she curiously stared at Ye Feng.

"Dad, who's this?"

The young girl asked Mu Tianqi. Her soft, clear voice sounded pleasant to the ears.

"Let me introduce you, your aunt's cousin. His name is Ye Feng, and he has passed the Tianxuan Mansion recruitment test. He will enter the Martial Mansion to cultivate soon."

Mu Tianqi smiled as he introduced Ye Feng to Mu Wan'er.

"Aunt? Ye Feng? Cousin?"

Wan'er asked with an innocent expression on her face. Clearly she was confused as she had never heard of this cousin before.

"Yes. Your cousin."

Mu Tianqi nodded. Then he looked at Ye Feng and introduced her. "Ye Feng, this is my daughter, Mu Wan'er. She is your cousin sister."

Ye Feng and Mu Wan'er greeted each other. Although it was their first time seeing each other, there was something about this girl that made Ye Feng feel as if they had known each other for a long time.

"If he passed the Tianxuan Mansion's recruitment test, then Big Brother Ye Feng must be very powerful!"

Ye Feng beamed at her innocent reaction.

"Of course, your Big Brother Ye Feng is very talented. He won first place in the examination, so he will definitely do well in the future. You, lass, should also practice hard. I hope you won't disgrace your father's reputation in the future."

Mu Tianqi smiled at Wan'er tenderly. His face was full of fatherly love towards his daughter.

"First place? Big Brother Ye Feng is really amazing."

Wan'er widened her eyes and looked at Ye Feng with admiration. She looked innocent and genuine.

"Don't worry, dad! Wan'er will definitely cultivate well and become someone like Big Brother Ye Feng in the future."

With a determined look, she tightly clenched her small fist. Her beautiful eyes flickered with bravery.

"I hope so."

Mu Tianqi replied.

Wan'er stuck out her tongue at Mu Tianqi and showed a playful smile. She then excused herself and left.

"Wan'er is a talented girl. At a young age, she already has a cultivation base at the fifth layer of Body Refining Stage. Sooner or later, she will awaken her Battle Spirit. That is what makes her a very valuable person in the Mu family."

Mu Tianqi told Ye Feng in a proud tone. His daughter was the source of pride to him.

"She is not even fourteen years old, yet she already has a cultivation base at the fifth layer of Body Refining Stage? She should be considered a genius in the entire Imperial City. Wan'er is really gifted."

Ye Feng agreed. He had a good impression of Wan'er.

"Ye Feng, the fact that you can defeat Nangong Lingshuang across realms has a lot to do with the Divine Dragon Battle Spirit you've awakened. When you reach the Qi Condensation Stage, the advantage of the Battle Spirit will become more and more obvious. Therefore, your ability to challenge opponents across realms will also become stronger."

Mu Tianqi happily told Ye Feng. He was naturally glad that his nephew had such talent.

Ye Feng listened attentively. Mu Tianqi was his third uncle and a senior expert. All his opinions about cultivation could benefit Ye Feng a lot.

For four hours, his uncle told him his comprehension and experiences that Ye Feng felt enlightened in many aspects.

"This Mountain Quaking Palm Technique is for you. Be sure to work hard on it."

Mu Tianqi said. A light instantly flashed in front of him, and an old book appeared in his hand. Written on the cover were three big words, 'Mountain Quaking Palm.'

"Take it," his uncle said. "This Mountain Quaking Palm is a Yellow-Rank Martial Skill. It doesn't have a high level, but its attack power isn't weak. It will help you increase your strength."

He placed the Mountain Quaking Palm secret manual in Ye Feng's hand. Ye Feng didn't hesitate to take it and kept the secret manual in his Storage Ring.

Currently, he could only attack with the help of the silver lance. It was indeed a bit too inadequate, but this Mountain Quaking Palm could make up for it.

"Thank you, third uncle."

Ye Feng thanked Mu Tianqi. The two of them then chatted for a while, and afterwards Ye Feng said his goodbyes and left the military camp.

Before he left, Wan'er came out to see him off. Her pure and adorable temperament left a deep impression on Ye Feng.

Ye Feng rode on his horse alone and soon arrived at the Tianxuan Mansion.

He passed through the Martial Arts Practice Field and stopped at the entrance of the Martial Mansion.

"Stop right there!"

Two guards stopped him as he was about to enter. The Tianxuan Mansion was heavily guarded, and outsiders were not allowed to enter as they pleased.

Ye Feng did not say anything to them. He only showed them the token that Yue Gu had given him earlier.

The two guards checked it and then immediately took a step back at the same time to make way for Ye Feng.

"Please proceed."

One of the guards said in a respectable tone.

As Ye Feng proceeded forward, he fathomed that the token Yue Gu gave him was not as simple as an ordinary pass.

His guess was right. Because when Ye Feng entered the Martial Mansion, someone immediately came to greet him. He arranged for Ye Feng to stay at a high-class courtyard.

Once he was in the room, Ye Feng sat cross-legged. With full concentration, he waved his hands in front of him, and a Light of Elemental Energy sparkled in his palms.

Currently, Ye Feng's cultivation base had already reached the Fifth Layer of Body Refining Stage Peak Stage, and he was only a step away from breaking through to the Sixth Layer of Body Refining Stage.

In the void, strands of elemental energy rushed over from all directions. They gathered around Ye Feng's body, releasing a gentle light.

The density of the elemental energy in the spatial zone had gradually reached its peak. The pure elemental energy seemed to turn into threads and penetrated Ye Feng's body through his body's pores.

As the elemental energy penetrated through Ye Feng's skin and entered all the meridians in his body, it began to flow along his bloodline, constantly nourishing his body, meridians, and bones.

Under the nourishment of the elemental energy, Ye Feng could feel his body became stronger than before as his cultivation base was going towards the Sixth Layer of Body Refining Stage.

The Body Refining Stage was the basic level of cultivation. Its main purpose was to temper the body of the cultivator and increase the endurance of their meridians as preparation for the Qi Condensation.
