The Great Ruler: Starting from the Lower Plane

Chapter 10 Farewell

Seeing Wang Lie and the other members of the Wang family slink away, the Ye family immediately erupted in thunderous cheers.

"Brother Ye Feng is amazing!"

"I defeated Wang Lie so easily, from now on I will be his follower..."

"I wonder what realm my cousin Ye Feng has reached now?"

"......"

"We can't see through him, we can't see through him, and we're probably no match for him..."

Ye Yuan and several elders of the Ye family were also overjoyed. They could sense Ye Feng's power, but they couldn't quite grasp the specific level he was at.

Under everyone's gaze, Ye Feng walked up to Ye Yuan and smiled slightly: "Uncle, I'm going to see Grandpa. I'll be leaving in a few days."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yuan paused slightly, "Leaving again..."

"That's true, Qingye City is too small, there's no place for you to spread your wings."

As he spoke, Ye Yuan nodded, looking completely at ease.

A place like Qingye City is too small a stage for the person in front of you to perform. With such terrifying talent at the young age of sixteen, who could become a Sword Transformation Realm expert, he would be highly regarded no matter which sect he joined.

"To be honest, Uncle, I have joined a sect. My time is limited, and I cannot stay in the Ye family for long. I came back this time to tell Grandpa so that he doesn't need to worry."

Ye Feng cupped his hands in greeting and gave a brief explanation, without specifically mentioning the Burning Heaven Sword Sect.

For the billions of living beings in the Western Sword Land, the Burning Heaven Sword Sect is a behemoth, a legendary existence. In the Heavenly Wind Dynasty, it may not even be as intimidating as the Chen Sword Sect, which Wang Lie joined.

The reason is simple: the Burning Heaven Sword Sect is too distant and sacred to be believed, and he has no need to ask Su Zhen, a Sword Emperor Realm expert, to come out and testify.

The best course of action is to keep the Ye family and Qingye City at peace. After all, he can't stay in the Ye family forever, and he might not be able to return for a long time.

"A sect?"

Ye Yuan's eyes lit up, but he didn't ask which sect it was. He just patted Ye Feng on the shoulder with satisfaction.

"Good...good! If the Grand Elder knew, he would be very pleased."

The Sword Continent is home to many hidden sects, and since Ye Feng was unwilling to elaborate, there was no need for him to ask further.

With him outside, that would be the greatest safety for the Ye family. Even if the Ye family wanted to rely on the power of the sect behind Ye Feng, it would be difficult for them to achieve anything.

If things go wrong, it might bring disaster to the Ye family and cause trouble for Ye Feng. It would be better to maintain this stability.

Now that this incident has happened, if the Wang family isn't stupid, they won't rashly provoke the Ye family again.

"Uncle, farewell."

Ye Feng said something, then smiled slightly at the Ye family members who were crowding around him, and then headed towards the manor behind the mountain.

If possible, before heading to the Burning Heaven Sword Sect, he still wanted to improve his grandfather's strength, or leave a guarantee for his grandfather and the Ye family.

Otherwise, I would be somewhat uneasy. In this Sword Continent where strength reigns supreme, anything can happen.

"We should take advantage of this senior, Su Zhen..."

With this in mind, Ye Feng soon arrived at an elegant manor.

Built against the mountain, far from the hustle and bustle of the Ye family's front yard, this place has an elegant environment and was the residence of his grandfather, Ye Hong, which can also be considered his.

Before even getting close, Ye Feng sensed a very familiar, steady yet slightly melancholic sword aura emanating from within the manor.

Ye Feng felt a warmth in his heart, quickly stepped forward, and gently pushed open the courtyard gate.

"who…?"

An old but still strong voice came from inside.

"Grandpa, it's me."

Ye Feng laughed loudly.

There was a moment of silence in the courtyard, followed by the sound of footsteps.

The door creaked open, and an elderly man in a white robe with white hair and beard appeared in the doorway. He looked Ye Feng up and down with a happy expression on his face, his eyes full of love and concern.

"So it's you back, kid. That's rare. I thought you'd forgotten about this old man."

Despite saying that, Ye Hong quickly stepped forward, grabbed Ye Feng's arm, and carefully examined him from head to toe. Seeing that he was unharmed and his aura was deep and restrained, far exceeding his usual self, the worry in his heart quietly dissipated.

"Grandpa, what are you saying?"

Ye Feng shook his head and smiled, feeling much calmer in his heart.

On this continent of swords, the old man before him was his only relative, and this place was his sanctuary.

"It's good to be back. You've been quite a worry for us this past year."

"However, it seems your strength has improved quite a bit. What stage have you reached now?"

Ye Hong nodded and smiled, then asked with great concern.

A year ago, when his grandson left the Ye family, he already had the strength of the late stage of the Condensation Sword Realm. Now, he finds it even harder to see through him and even feels that he is extremely dangerous. This feeling is something that even some experts in the late stage of the Transformation Sword Realm cannot achieve.

"Not long ago, I awakened the Wind and Thunder Sword Intent and condensed a sword soul."

Ye Feng didn't hide anything and spoke frankly.

"Wind and Thunder Sword Intent, Sword Soul Realm..."

Ye Hong's eyes widened slightly, and he murmured something before falling silent for a moment.

In the realm of sword soul, the divine sense undergoes a qualitative change, the sword intent within the body awakens and gathers, and one can directly mobilize some of the energy of heaven and earth for one's own use, thus becoming able to fly through the air.

In a place like Qingye City, a Sword Soul Realm expert is a top-tier powerhouse, unmatched by anyone.

"I really don't know who your heartless parents are, that they would be so willing to leave you in the wilderness and abandon you."

"Luckily, the old man's luck is good, hahaha..."

Ye Hong sighed, then burst into laughter, his laughter filled with satisfaction and pride, and his eyes even seemed a little moist.

Back then, when he found Ye Feng, the latter was only a three-year-old child. Over the years, he had devoted himself to teaching him. Although he had high expectations, he never dared to imagine that Ye Feng could reach the Sword Soul Realm at the tender age of sixteen, a level he could never achieve in his entire life.

This isn't just a genius, this is a prodigy among prodigies!

Ye Feng didn't feel sad about his parents possibly not existing on the Sword Continent; he just smiled slightly.

The Innate Sword Body, also known as the Chaos Sword Body, is a physique that is often born naturally and nurtured by nature. Although his soul consciousness had been dormant for a period of time and he did not know what had happened, he had no memories of his parents in this life.

His parents only existed in his previous life. Although there are some things he is not sure about now, he has some answers in his heart about why he came to this Sword Continent.

"It's all the old man's fault for not being able to resist bringing up these old stories again."

Seeing Ye Feng remain silent, Ye Hong still thought that Ye Feng was unwilling to talk about his parents, and hurriedly shook his head.

"It's alright, I've long since stopped caring about these things."

Ye Feng smiled. He could feel his grandfather's heartfelt joy and pride. This pure emotion made him feel warm in this unfamiliar world.

"Let's not talk about that. Now that you're back, what are your plans for the future?"
