  Qi Hai did not know that not only did Ye Yuan know the Grand Yan True Lord, Lu Linfeng, he even had close ties with him.

  But with Qi Hai saying this, Ye Yuan became even more interested in this Vast Heaven Pagoda.

  To be able to give birth to such a supremely powerful character, this Vast Heaven Pagoda's prowess was clear at a glance.

  "Oh? There's still such a thing? I wonder how many levels did that Grand Yan True Lord pass through back then?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.

  In Ye Yuan's view, a heaven-defying character like the Grand Yan Divine King should have made it to the ninth level back then.

  Except, Qi Hai's answer was very far from Ye Yuan's view. Only to hear Qi Hai say, "The seventh level! Since remote antiquity, there were only a mere three individuals who made it to the seventh level! And the Grand Yan True Lord was one of them!"

  This time, Ye Yuan was truly taken aback from shock.

  How heaven-defying Lu Linfeng this fellow was, Ye Yuan was well aware.

  With his strength, he actually just made it to the seventh level too? Then how perverse did the eighth level and ninth level had to be?

  "Doesn't that mean that this eighth level and ninth level, there was nobody who made it there at all?" Ye Yuan said in astonishment.

  Chapter 526. Ye Hang's Crisis |

  In Ye Yuan's understanding, Lu Linfeng was already among the Divine Realm's apex level of a powerhouse.

  If even he merely reached the seventh level too, then the two levels at the back, were there still anyone who could make it through?

  Ye Yuan was not being unduly humble. He knew that his comprehension abilities were actually very high. But as for how high, he did not have a definite answer either. Because he did not walk to the pinnacle of the Martial Path.

  But Ye Yuan himself felt that even if he was stronger than Lu Linfeng, he was probably not much stronger than the latter as well.

  After all, the comprehension abilities of characters who could stand at the peak of the Divine Realm would not be too poor no matter how bad it was.

  Of course, reaching Lu Linfeng's level of realm, comprehension ability was not absolute. Destiny, comprehension ability, natural endowments, hard-work, not one of them could be lacking!

  But Qi Hai's answer somewhat exceeded Ye Yuan's expectations.

  Only to see Qi Hai shake his head and said, "That's not it. This eighth level, there was somebody who made it there before."

  Ye Yuan was greatly shocked when he heard that and asked, "Who?"

  "He's called Li Fantian. As for who he was, I don't know," Qi Hai said.

  "Oh? Even you don't know too? Then how did you know that he made it to the eighth level?" Ye Yuan inquired curiously.

  "The Vast Heaven Pagoda area has a wall. Anyone who makes it to the fifth level will be recorded up there. But during this recent hundred years, no one could make it to the fifth level," Qi Hai said rather regretfully.

  Ye Yuan nodded his head. He more or less had some understanding of the Vast Heaven Pagoda already.

  Looks like wanting to clear this Vast Heaven Pagoda was not an easy matter.

  Guo Taoqun, Yin Yanhua, and Qin Yan, Ye Yuan was still aware of their talent. Even they could not make it into the fifth level. Looks like this Vast Heaven Pagoda's difficulty level was indeed rather high.

  Only a heaven-defying genius like Lu Linfeng could make it to the seventh level.

  "Alright. Half a month later, I'll head to the Vast Heaven Pagoda," Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said.

  Since there was such a mystical place, Ye Yuan obviously could not miss it.

  . . . . . .

  At the City Lord Manor's backyard.

  Ren Honglin was currently by the window with her head on her hands, unsure what she was thinking about either.

  "Hongling, are you thinking of your son again?" A voice suddenly sounded out at the entrance.

  Ren Hongling did not turn around. She knew that it was her older brother, Ren Yujie.

  "So what if yes? Are you going to release me to go find him?' Ren Hongling said rather resentfully.

  Ren Yujie heaved a sigh and said, "Sister, you lost all of your abilities now. Even if I let you out, where can you go? Furthermore, if you leave, what about Brother-in-Law? You're aware of Father's temper."

  Ren Hongling turned around slightly, her gaze looking at Ren Yujie rather vacantly; she said coldly, "Father? He's not worthy of being my father at all! And you are not fit to be my brother either! If not for my husband stubbornly insisting on returning, wanting to seek for his forgiveness, it's impossible for me to return to this place which makes me feel disgusted for the rest of my life! In all of your hearts, there is no kinship, only benefits!"

  Ren Hongling's eyes gradually welled up. She did not think that so many years had already passed, her father was actually still so unreasonable!

  When the two of them appeared in front of Ren Xingchun, Ren Xingchun detained Ye Hang without a word and grounded her.

  And he, this big brother, was very timid and incapable. He completely did not dare to say anything in front of Ren Xingchun.

  Ren Hongling begged Ren Yujie multiple times to let him release her to go see Ye Hang. But Ren Yujie refused to no matter what.

  Gradually, Ren Hongling perished the thought too.

  In this backyard, only Ren Dong this junior could stir up a hint of ripple in Ren Hongling's heart.

  Ren Yujie heaved a sigh again and said, "Hongling, not that Big Brother isn't willing to help you, but I seriously can't help you! You're aware of Father's temper. If he knew that you met Brother-in-Law, Brother-in-Law's life would probably be long gone! I'm doing this for your own good too!"

  But Ren Hongling did not appreciate the kindness and said with a cold smile, "I just want to see my husband once and not bringing him away either. If you don't tell him, how would he know?"

  Ren Yujie shook his head and said, "You're belittling Father too much. He could reach today's position, so how could it be that simple? Forget about this City Lord Manor, even a hint of the rustling of leaves in the wind in the entire Wu Fang City can't possibly escape his eyes either."

  Hearing these words, Ren Hongling's face calmed down slightly.

  She also knew that her big brother's personality was weak and hard to take on great responsibility. Counting on him was hopeless.

  If he could have a little backbone back then, she would not have gone so far as to slip away to distant lands with Ye Hang either. She would not have lost her essence energy and be unable to refine pills anymore.

  Of course, Ren Yujie's personality could not be separated from Ren Xingchun's dominance.

  "Then you coming to find me today is for my own good too?" Ren Hongling said sarcastically.

  But Ren Yujie's expression dimmed as he heaved a sigh again and said, "Sister, actually, I came today wanting to tell you that, Father is going to take action against Brother-in-Law already! You . . . Sigh . . ."

  Ren Hongling's entire person was like struck by lightning, immediately freezing there. This news was truly a bolt out of the blue to her!

  Originally, she and Ye Hang returning was to acknowledge their roots and ancestors. Who would have thought that it would actually end up in such a plight!

  "You . . . What did you say?" Ren Hongling's entire person felt worn out.

  "These few days, you had been grounded at home all along. There are many things in the outside world that you don't know. An earth-shaking major incident happened to the Endless World recently. These two days, many Divine Traversing Realm experts assembled in Wu Fang City to discuss on dealing with the great matter of another world invading us. And Father already gave the instructions two days ago that after the meeting this time passes, Brother-in-Law will be put to death."

  Hearing this news, Ren Hongling could not withstand the blow anymore. Her two eyes went dark, and she fainted away.

  Ren Yujie hurriedly supported her and inserted a trace of essence energy into Ren Hongling's
body.

  Ren Hongling slowly regained consciousness. Grabbing hold of Ren Yujie's arm, she said tearfully, "Big Brother, I'm begging you, save him! Now, the only one who can save Ye Hang is you!"

  Ren Yujie had a conflicted face, "I . . ."

  "Big Brother, back then, I made you plead with Father. You didn't dare to say a word! Now that over a decade has passed, Ye Hang and my feelings are all the more deeper. Could it be that you're still going to treat us the same as back then? If my husband dies, I absolutely won't live alone! If Yuan-er comes to know of this matter, he definitely comes to find Father to seek revenge. Do you want this kind of human relations tragedy to happen in the Ren Family?" Ren Hongling already became tear-stricken with tears.

  Ye Hang and Ren Hongling watched Ye Yuan's growth and were very clear about his temperament.

  Once Ye Yuan found out about the news of Ye Hang and her perishing, he would definitely come to find Ren Xingchun to take revenge at all costs.

  At that time, grandson versus grandfather, regardless of what the result was, it would be a human world's tragedy.

  "Yuan-er? That's your and Brother-in-Law's child? You guys refused to say any news about that child. Turns out that he's actually called Ye Yuan? Ye Yuan . . . Why is this name so familiar?" Ren Xingchun suddenly felt like he seemed to have heard this name before somewhere.

  Except that how could Ren Hongling still be in the mood to listen to this right now. She implored, "Big Brother, you make Ren Hongling go and beg Father! He'll definitely agree! I beg you!"

  Ren Yujie said with difficulty, "But . . . Father already made people bring Brother-in-Law out of the city to execute him in secret!"

  Chapter 527. Execution |

  This time, Ren Hongling forcefully resisted and did not faint.

  Because she knew that Ye Hang's life was suspended on a thread right now. She must go and save Ye Hang.

  No idea where her strength came from, Ren Hongling pushed aside Ren Yujie and forced her way out of the door.

  "Ah! Isn't Ye Yuan that Tranquil Cloud Sect youth who took part in the Endless Meet? Could it be that . . . Sister's son is really him? But . . . how is that possible?"

  Ren Yujie suddenly had a flash of inspiration and finally recalled who Ye Yuan was.

  After yesterday's meet, the Endless Alliance was established, and Ye Yuan was a very popular figure among the Northern Domain's upper echelons.

  Could such a monstrous prodigy actually be his own nephew?

  His figure moved and caught up to Ren Hongling very quickly, grabbing hold of her.

  "You let go of me! I'm going to save my husband!" Ren Hongling struggled desperately.

  "Hang on! You said that your son is called Ye Yuan. Is he from a small sect called Tranquil Cloud Sect?" Ren Yujie asked.

  "How did you know?" Ren Hongline froze and stopped struggling too. Her heart started pounding even faster. How did Ren Yujie know?

  Could they have . . .

  Seeing Ren Hongling's expression, Ren Yujie knew that she misunderstood and hurriedly said, "Set your mind at ease. Not only is Nephew fine, but his reputation is also awe-inspiring now. Even the Three Sects have areas they rely on him for right now. If Nephew is really that youth called Ye Yuan from the Tranquil Cloud Sect, Brother-in-Law might still be saved! It's just . . . I wonder if we can still make it!"

  Ren Yujie knew that time was of the essence and could only cut his words short.

  Ren Hongling was startled and hurriedly said, "Then what are you waiting for? Quickly bring me to go find Yuan-er!"

  Ren Yujie had a look of dilemma again. Ren Xingchun's accumulated pressure in his heart was too overpowering. He completely did not dare to have any disobedience.

  Coming to inform Ren Hongling today was already a tremendous breakthrough.

  "If you're not going, I'll die right now for you to see!"

  Ren Hongling fished out a small dagger from God knows where and was about to stab it toward her heart.

  Except, how could she possibly have the chance to commit suicide in front of a Soul Sea Realm martial artist such as Ren Yujie?

  Ren Yujie snatched away the dagger in Ren Hongling's hands. His expression flickered, and he said, "Fine! I'll bring you!"

  Ren Hongling stared at Ren Yujie somewhat disbelievingly as her face revealed wild elation.

  Actually, what moved Ren Yujie ultimately was still that human relations tragedy which Ren Hongling said before.

  Previously Ren Yujie did not pay attention. But after knowing that Ye Yuan was his own nephew, he knew that this was not some laughable joke.

  That Tranquil Cloud Sect's Ye Yuan absolutely had the strength to overturn Wu Fang City in the future and even butcher his own maternal grandfather!

  And did Ren Xingchun have the capabilities to kill Ye Yuan?

  The answer was uncertain!

  Behind Ye Yuan stood Qi Hai now. Even if Ren Xingchun were any more rampant, he would not dare to behave atrociously in front of Qi Hai either!

  Which was also to say that in the future, after Ye Yuan matures, Wu Fang City would truly suffer the human relations tragedy which Ren Hongling predicted.

  . . . . . .

  "Master, Master Wu Xuan, you two have some tea. This is a top-grade spirit tea that I brought from the City Lord Manor. Not only is it sweet and mellow, but it also has the effect of increasing essence energy," Ren Dong explained to Ye Yuan with a respectful look.

  Wu Xuan was Feng Ya Pavilion's frequent guest now. He would run here when he had nothing to do.

  These few days, he had been having a nice heart to heart talk with Ye Yuan, rambling away, but receiving substantial benefits.

  They hardly said three sentences without talking about their line of work. What Wu Xuan and Ye Yuan chattered about the most was naturally still alchemy. In fact, some of Ye Yuan's views and experiences had tremendous inspiration to Wu Xuan.

  Like this, Wu Xuan liked to immerse himself at Feng Ya Pavilion every day even more.

  Wu Xuan said with a smile, "You, this boy, always had your eyes on top of your head. To think that you'd actually submit fully to others one day. City Lord with his temper, if he knew that you stole his spirit tea, I reckon that he'd fly into a thunderous rage."

  Ye Yuan drank a mouth of the spirit tea and said smilingly, "Heh heh, City Lord's temperament is really arrogant and explosive!"

  When he recalled the conflict with Ren Xingchun in Exquisite Jade Pavilion, he was speechless too.

  Ren Xingchun clearly came to be a mediator. In the end, he quarreled with him. This temper was also unparalleled.

  "Huhu, if City Lord didn't have such breadth of spirit, how could he overpower the Cao Family and manage this Wu Fang City like an iron bucket?" Wu Xuan said with a smile.

  The three people were just conversing when a servant came in to inform, "Young Master Ye, City Lord Manor's Lord Ren Yujie brought a woman to request an audience."

  Ren Dong was stunned when he heard that, "En? What did Father come here for? Could it be to find me for something?"

  Ye Yuan came to a realization and nodded his head and said, "Invite them in then!"

  Before long, Ren Yujie led Ren Hongling in. Ye Yuan and Wu Xuan were currently engrossed in conversation and did not seem to have noticed the two people.

  Ye Yuan also thought that Ren Yujie came to find his son and had nothing to do with him. He naturally would not pay attention too.

  And when Ren Hongling saw that familiar face, her entire body trembled agitated and her tears gushed out from her eyes uncontrollably.

  Ren Yuejie was stunned when he saw Ren Dong as well, "Dong-er, why are you here too?"

  Ren Dong was likewise stupefied. "Eh? Father, Aunt, didn't you guys come to find me?"

  Ren Yujie shook his head and pointed at Ye Yuan and said, "We came to find him."

  "Ah? What are you all finding Master for?" Ren Dong asked in bewilderment.

  "Master?" Ren Yujie was likewise confused.

  When Ye Yuan he
ard the conversation over here, his head involuntarily turned over.

  With this turn, his entire person was immediately frozen in place, and he revealed a look of wild elation soon after.

  "Mother! Why are you here?! Haha! Truly wearing out iron shoes in a fruitless search and finding it by chance without even looking for it! I even made Brother Zihui go and find you and Father. To think that you actually came here yourself!" Ye Yuan came in front of Ren Hongling with a flash and held her hand as he said warmly.

  But Ren Hongling's expression changed drastically as she grabbed hold of Ye Yuan's hand and said, "Quick! Quickly go and save your father! Any later and it'll be too late!"

  . . . . . .

  In a forest outside the city, Ye Hang was escorted by several martial artists to an open space.

  The martial artist leading was shockingly a Ninth Level Soul Sea Realm expert!

  If Ye Yuan were here, he would immediately recognize that the person presiding over Ye Hang's execution was actually Xu Zihui.

  Xu Zihui received Ren Xingchun's orders this morning to make him bring several people and escort a criminal outside the city to carry out the death penalty.

  Xu Zihui paid little attention to it too and brought several people over.

  As for what kind of offense this criminal committed, Xu Zihui did not know at all.

  Of course, he was not interested to find out either.

  Just a late-stage Crystal Formation martial artist; this person completely could not enter Xu Zihui's eyes.

  He was even rather resentful in his heart that City Lord was really using a butcher's knife to kill a chicken. Carrying out an execution against a late-stage Crystal Formation Realm, he actually even made him, this Ninth Level Soul Sea, to come and hold the line.

  Really took him to have nothing to do after eating his fill?

  How could he have known that this was Ren Xingchun not wishing for a family scandal to get out? That was why Ren Xingchun did not even bring up charges against this person.
