Feng Qiu asked, "Master Ye, if you don't mind, I'll call you Brother Ye, I wonder if you have any friends in the imperial capital?" ”

Ye Lingchen showed a sudden look on his face, and said secretly: "No wonder Feng Qiu is so enthusiastic, he is really courteous and courteous, either a traitor or a thief." Feelings, he knows a little bit of it. Hehe, no wonder he didn't make a move. ’

The change in Ye Lingchen's expression was naturally taken in by Feng Qiu, but Ye Lingchen shook his head, not wanting to say more about it, after all, the less people know about this matter, the better.

However, in Feng Qiu's heart, he thought that Ye Lingchen must have something to do with a certain force in the imperial capital, and seeing Ye Lingchen like this, he only thought that it was that force Ye Lingchen was inconvenient to disclose, and he couldn't help but be even more curious.

Although Feng Qiu underestimated Ye Lingchen before, at this time he knew that Ye Lingchen had so many secrets, not only did he break through to the Xuanyou Middle Realm in a short period of time, but also had some unknown social relationships.

……

In a valley thousands of miles away from Fengling City, it is very secretive and very sparsely populated. On the mountainside, a manor house of several thousand square meters sits here, and several villages loom below the mountain.

A middle-aged man in the manor was sighing, seeing that he was wearing a snow-white robe, and his clothes were gentle and elegant, but he couldn't hide the sorrow between his eyebrows.

The middle-aged man put his hands behind his back and said to himself: "The Qin family and the Zhang family were actually destroyed by the Ye family, it's really incredible." Did I really do something wrong in the first place? ”

He turned around and asked, "Is there any news from Miss?" ”

A figure flashed out of the darkness, and said in a low voice: "Family Master, since Miss went out with her master two years ago to practice, she has not returned to the sect yet. ”

The middle-aged man shook his head, sighed in a low voice, and didn't say anything.

……

It has been a month since Feng Qiu came to the Ye family last time, and in Fengling City, various merchants have visited the Ye family one after another in this short month.

In this month's time, Yueluoxin and others have been busy.

With the support of the elixir, the strength of the Ye family's disciples has increased by a whole level, and now the Ye family has a total of two thousand disciples, of which one thousand disciples have reached the Cave Void Realm.

As for the hundred outstanding disciples selected by Ye Lingchen and Tang Wu before, they let Chen Xi and Tang Wu train together, Tang Wu was responsible for improving their realm, and Chen Xi, as an assassin, naturally taught them some basic skills of assassins.

And at the same time, they were provided with double the elixir, Ye Lingchen planned to prepare a private force in the Ye family, and this group of people would deal with some troubles encountered in the family.

After a month of training, these hundred disciples not only increased their strength greatly, but they all reached the peak strength of the Cave Void Realm, and they were also good at assassination and concealment.

Of course, Ye Lingchen did not stop cultivating in this month. In the space, he cultivated the Three Flame Technique of Burning God and the Nine-Star Yin Yang Soul Refining Technique, and now he was able to run his spiritual power in his body for five Great Zhou Tian.

As for the cultivation of the formation, due to obtaining the cheats provided by Ye Bugua, Ye Lingchen had already mastered the two most basic formations.

On this day, Ye Lingchen walked out of the space and came to the hundred carefully selected disciples.

Ye Lingchen also nodded secretly when he saw it, and said, "From today onwards, you are the backbone of the Ye family. The Ye family will naturally not treat you badly, I see that the magic weapon in your hands is not suitable for you now, it is time to change it. It just so happens that I have a lot of ore in my hands, Uncle Tang, I will hand it over to you, and each of them will refine a suitable set of magic weapons. ”

"It's just young master, do you need a lot of ore like this?" Tang Wu naturally had no opinion, but he was worried that the materials on Ye Lingchen's body were not enough.

Ye Lingchen said: "You just have to refine, I still have this refining material." ”

The next day, in the Ye family's main hall, Ye Lingchen was in the first place and said to everyone: "The development of the Ye family is very good this month, but we still have to work hard." Fengling City is the base of the Ye family, and it must be firmly grasped. ”

Ye Lingchen paused for a moment, and then said, "In addition, now the Qin family and the Zhang family have been destroyed. We have to take advantage of this opportunity to gather all the wealth of Fengling City, and the family will also recruit some masters to sit in the town, so leave this matter to Tang Bo to do." ”

"Yes!" Tang Wu said.

After explaining some things, Ye Lingchen got up and walked towards the door.

At this time, the footsteps of a guard suddenly came from outside the door, and the guard stood outside the hall and said, "Young Master, the city lord came to the Ye family just now, and I have already sent someone to bring him to the welcome living room." ”

"Oh? Here he is again. Ye Lingchen said curiously, and then went to the living room.

As soon as he entered the living room, he saw Feng Qiu sipping tea with a slight smile on his face. Ye Lingchen's eyes rolled: "Seeing the city lord with a spring breeze on his face, is there anything good?" ”

Feng Qiu looked at Ye Lingchen and said, "Brother Ye, this time it's not me who is full of spring breeze, but you." ”

"Oh? Where to start? ”

Feng Qiu paused for a moment and said, "This time there is news from the imperial capital, and your Ye family has officially been promoted to a third-rate family. ”

The families of the Fengyuan Empire are divided into nine streams, and the higher they are, the higher they are, and the higher the families, they enjoy different treatments.

Previously, the Ye family was a second-rate family, and the fief was only a kilometer around the Ye family's manor, and there could only be no more than two thousand cultivators in the family.

If you rise to a third-rate family, not only will the fiefdom expand several times, but the number of disciples you can cultivate will also increase a lot, at least five thousand.

Although there are many benefits, Ye Lingchen is also a little worried, now the Ye family is only promoted to a third-rate family, and it will not receive the attention of the top level of the empire, but if it develops further in the future, it will inevitably attract the attention of those who have a heart.

Ye Lingchen said secretly: "If the Ye family develops too fast, I am afraid that something will leak, and I am afraid that I will have to be more careful in the future, and the development of the family will still be more secretive." ’

Restraining the thoughts in his heart, the sorrow was temporarily thrown away, and Ye Lingchen also showed an excited look on his face, "Great, this news really excites me, the Ye family has to rely on the city lord to take care of you in Fengling City." ”

Ye Lingchen thought about it, and with a flash in his hand, a refined box appeared, and through the box, both of them could feel the slightest aura emanating from it.

Ye Lingchen handed the box to Feng Qiu and said, "City Lord, there are five purple light fruits in here, it's a small thing, don't dislike it." ”

Feng Qiu had a faint smile on his face and hurriedly refused. But Ye Lingchen was too enthusiastic, and in the end Feng Qiu still accepted it.

At night, the starry sky was brilliant, and Ye Lingchen's room was flickering with dark red lights.

Ye Lingchen said: "Now that the matter in Fengling City is over, I plan to leave in a few days." ”

"Are you going to go again? Where are you going? Yueluoxin asked softly.

Ye Lingchen said: "Xin'er, I have to leave, this time I plan to go to the imperial capital, and if I meet my cousin, I will give her the Bodhi fruit by the way." But before I do that, I have to go back to the Dawn Branch. ”

Yueluo leaned on Ye Lingchen's chest and whispered, "I know that birds don't belong to small forests, and the sky is where they belong. And even more so with you, I'm sure you're going to be an amazing character. ”

Ye Lingchen hurriedly said: "Xin'er, no matter where I am, there is my family here, and it's not like I won't come back." ”

"Don't worry, I will definitely take care of the Ye family. It's just that the imperial capital is intricate and there are many masters, so you have to be careful and don't be impulsive when you get there. Yueluo said in her heart.

Ye Lingchen nodded and said, "Xin'er, when my strength is strong, I will take you outside with me." As for the family, it would be good to find someone trustworthy to take care of it when the time comes. ”

The next day, the sun had just risen in Fengling City, and Ye Lingchen had already arrived outside the city.

This time, Ye Lingchen only brought Chenxi alone, and as for Ye Yi, they stayed in the Ye family, with their strength in the Xuanyou Realm, they were enough to protect the Ye family.

As for the disciples of the Sword God Family, they left Fengling City when they eliminated the Qin Family.

The Dawn Branch of Dawn City is only ten days away from Fengling City, and if he rushes with all his strength, Ye Lingchen will only need five days to arrive. But he was not in a hurry, and he went at a normal pace along the way.

White clouds hung high in the sky, and occasionally a faint cool breeze drifted in.

The two of them came to a wood, which was quiet, except for the sound of the wind from the birds flapping their wings in the air.

There was a faint sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground in front, Ye Lingchen looked at it with his eyes, and saw dozens of people riding high-headed horses in front of him, rushing to the front. And in the middle of the crowd, a very luxurious sedan chair is very conspicuous.

"What's wrong?" Chenxi asked.

Ye Lingchen said lightly: "It's okay, there seems to be a caravan in front." ”

Suddenly, Ye Lingchen's face changed, because he found that just now, a spiritual sense swept over his body.

This feeling was the same feeling in the cultivator's graveyard, when Li Tianya's spiritual sense swept over him.

The other party was a high-realm powerhouse, but he hid his breath, and Ye Lingchen couldn't feel it.

Ye Lingchen shook his head, and the two continued to rush forward, and the caravan in front seemed to have stopped.

A person walked up to Ye Lingchen and said, "This son, I don't know where you are going?" ”

Ye Lingchen said: "Dawn City." ”

The guard said again, "We are heading to the Imperial Capital, and we happen to be passing through Dawning City, and it has recently been rumored that a group of powerful bandits have appeared nearby, specializing in robbing passing cultivators. If this son doesn't mind, why don't you go together? ”

"Robbers? I've walked this road before, but I've never encountered it before. But this big brother's opinion is not bad, so let's go together. The reason why Ye Lingchen agreed, firstly, because the few people in front of him did not feel like a wicked person, and secondly, because he was also curious about who was in the carriage.

Ye Lingchen and Chen Xi merged into that group, and Ye Lingchen knew that the group of people in front of him was not a caravan. The people around are hunters, and this group of people is a hunting group, and their mission is to protect the people in the middle carriage.

Although the hunter has the word "hunting" in his name, he does not only do one thing to hunt, but sometimes he also escorts the target like a guard.

There are countless hunters on the mainland, and many families also have hunting groups, they can help the family collect elixirs, spirit beasts, ores, and can also take on some tasks to earn money.

There were a total of twenty people in the hunting group in front of him, Ye Lingchen felt it a little, among them there were two Xuanyou Middle Realm, and the rest were all Cave Void Realm.

In the carriage in the middle, Ye Lingchen couldn't see it, and could only feel that there was a not very strong aura in it.

A team of centaurs headed in the direction of Dawning City, and Ye Lingchen asked, "Brother Ba, who is in this carriage, and actually wants you a hunting group to protect it?" ”

The leader of the hunting group is named Bach, he is tall and mighty, and his strength has also reached the middle realm of Xuanyou.

Bach said: "Little brother, we don't know about this, we are only responsible for escorting the employer to the destination. The rest of the things we don't usually ask the hunting team about. ”

"Are you from a family or a free cultivator's organization?" Ye Lingchen asked curiously.

Bach was big, and his voice was not small, and he said with a full sense of anger: "Our hunting group is called the Raptors Hunting Group, and they are all recruited by me, but I don't know if they are all free cultivators, but within the group, the members of our Raptors Hunting Group must be united." Little brother, I see that you are so young, and you have such cultivation, presumably the family behind you must not be weak. I just heard you say you've walked through here before? Don't know where your home is? ”

"It's just a small town. It's not powerful. ”

"Alas, it's always good to have a family anyway, a free cultivator like me can pinch it as much as others want on the mainland. Let's not talk about these first, as for the bandits here there have always been, but the previous ones were also a group of rabble, but recently a new force has appeared here, and the strength is much stronger than the previous robbers. I've heard from the other hunters that their leader is a high-level soul cultivator, and there are several Xuanyou Middle Realm under his command. Bach said.
