CHAPTER 64: CHAPTER 64: THE POWER OF A FART

"Sister Su, I really don’t have any other options..."

"Our Chang Family resides in a remote area with limited family resources. We can only afford to cultivate my brother. The Tri-element Martial Meeting was my only chance to succeed, so I set out a few months ago..."

Chang Lu Die’s eyes reddened slightly as she sighed gently.

"It must have been very difficult for you!"

Su Wanyi also sighed, deeply sympathetic. She had endured many hardships with her master since childhood, living a life of displacement and struggle with scarce cultivation resources, so she understood Chang Lu Die very well.

Chang Lu Die was still young, yet she was very sensible. To avoid using her family’s cultivation resources, she had traveled thousands of miles to Silver Moon City, hoping to gain an opportunity to join a first-rate sect through the Tri-element Martial Meeting. Unexpectedly, a disaster struck Silver Moon City. This shattered the young girl’s dreams.

However, it seems the Old Ancestor shares an old connection with an ancestor of the Chang Family. He’s rushing there now; perhaps the Chang Family’s crisis will be resolved soon. Such thoughts flashed through Su Wanyi’s mind.

"Wow, this carriage is so fast!"

Even though the Big Black Horse was deliberately slowing its pace, it was still incredibly fast—so fast that the surrounding scenery blurred. Chang Lu Die couldn’t help but exclaim. This unremarkable Big Black Horse was truly extraordinary. When it ran, it was as fast as the famed Dragon Colts of the Shenfeng Dynasty. Despite the Big Black Horse’s incredible speed, the carriage remained perfectly stable.

Su Wanyi kept her eyes slightly closed, her mind free of distractions. She circulated the unique Cultivation Technique of the Dragon God Sect, stabilizing her newly attained Third Layer of the Origin Sea Realm.

To avoid startling the young girl, Ye Yun had specifically instructed the Big Black Horse to reduce its speed. Even so, the Big Black Horse covered the twenty thousand-mile journey in just three days.

"So fast! We arrived in just three days!"

Gazing at the familiar Xuan Yang County, an expression of utter shock appeared on Chang Lu Die’s small, apple-round face. Her initial journey had taken several months.

Inside the carriage, Ye Yun, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. He glanced towards Xuan Yang County, his expression thoughtful.

Xuan Yang County was a small territory on the frontier of the Shenfeng Dynasty. The Chang Family’s influence in Xuan Yang County was not prominent; they barely qualified as a second-rate family.

At this moment, a black carriage slowly approached, stopping before the Chang Mansion.

"Haha, we’re home!"

Chang Lu Die leaped from the carriage, ran to the large, vermillion-lacquered door, and gently tapped the iron knocker twice.

"That’s odd. Why is the door closed?" Chang Lu Die wondered, her eyes darting around. Usually, her family’s main gate was open, with guards posted at the entrance.

After a moment, the sound of footsteps approached from within, and the door slowly creaked open. An elderly man in a black robe emerged, wearing a small skullcap.

"Ah, the Young Miss has returned!" Recognizing the visitor through the crack in the door, the old man forced a smile and pulled the door fully open.

"Uncle Zhao, has something happened at home?" Seeing the old man’s sorrowful expression and the desolate courtyard, Chang Lu Die felt a sense of foreboding.

"Young Miss, it’s best if you speak with the Master about this..." The elderly man sighed. He looked up and saw a black carriage parked outside, upon which sat a beautiful woman in a golden robe.

"Young Miss, is this your friend?" Uncle Zhao couldn’t help but ask.

Chang Lu Die quickly nodded with a smile, "Uncle Zhao, this is my Sister Su!"

The carriage curtain was lifted. Ye Yun stepped out of the carriage, his feet landing on the ground.

Seeing the Old Ancestor emerge, Su Wanyi’s heart skipped a beat. She also quickly alighted from the carriage, standing respectfully behind the Old Ancestor.

Ye Yun stood with his hands clasped behind his back. Gazing at the plaque above the mansion gate, he became lost in brief contemplation.

"Sir, please come in with me!" Chang Lu Die stepped forward and said respectfully.

Ye Yun nodded.

Chang Lu Die led the way, while Ye Yun followed, his hands clasped behind his back. Su Wanyi followed closely behind the Old Ancestor.

The Big Black Cat remained sprawled on top of the carriage.

"Uncle Ma, the atmosphere in this Chang Family residence feels off, almost like someone has died..." the Big Black Cat remarked quietly, glancing up at the Chang Mansion.

"Nonsense!" The Big Black Horse turned its head and retorted irritably.

WHOOSH!

Its rear trembled as it suddenly expelled a stream of air. This fierce current of air enveloped the Big Black Cat, pressing down on it like a great mountain, making its internal organs feel as if they were shrinking into a ball.

"Uncle Ma, spare me!" The Big Black Cat covered its nose and quickly begged for mercy. It hadn’t expected that a casual remark would provoke such a strong retaliation from Uncle Ma. This retaliation not only stank but also carried immense pressure.

"Little Cat, you’d better watch your mouth in the future. The Master himself entered this place; do you think it could be ordinary?" Uncle Ma said irritably, and with a flick of his tail, the current of air instantly vanished.

"Uncle Ma, you’re right!" The Big Black Cat was thoroughly startled and nodded repeatedly, sighing in relief. The Big Black Cat truly hadn’t expected that Uncle Ma’s flatulence could be so powerful; its small body seemed unable to bear it.

So terrifying.

Chang Lu Die led Ye Yun through the estate to the main hall. As soon as she entered, she saw her father slumped in a chair, his face pale and his complexion extremely poor. He looked frail.

"Father, what’s wrong?" Chang Lu Die rushed forward and quickly supported her father.

"Little Die, you’re back so soon? Has the Tri-element Martial Meeting concluded?" Chang Feng coughed twice and asked in return.

"Father, your daughter didn’t achieve a ranking..." Chang Lu Die said, lowering her head in shame.

Chang Feng looked sorrowful but forced a faint smile. "It’s alright. You’re still young." Then, his gaze shifted to Ye Yun and Su Wanyi, who were standing nearby. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. The young man in white robes was spotless, exuding an otherworldly aura, like a transcendent immortal stepped out of a painting. The other young woman, around eighteen or nineteen years old, was exceptionally beautiful. She wore a dazzling golden robe and carried a conspicuous red longsword on her back. Seeing this pair, both as elegant as jade, Chang Feng knew instantly that they were no ordinary individuals.

"Father, where is my older brother?" Chang Lu Die asked from the side.

"He’s resting in the back..." Chang Feng coughed again, not telling his daughter the truth.

Chang Lu Die, young and naive, didn’t think too much about it. She leaned close to Chang Feng’s ear and whispered, "Father, I’m going to take this Sir to the ancestral hall first. He says he knows one of our ancestors!"

"Oh... Alright, alright!" Chang Feng was startled but agreed immediately without much thought. Although his cultivation base was not high, only at the tenth layer of the Origin Sea Realm, his experienced eyes could tell that this otherworldly young man in white was no ordinary person. Perhaps he’s a peerless expert. It was precisely for this reason that Chang Feng had agreed without hesitation.

Overjoyed, Chang Lu Die walked to Ye Yun’s side and said respectfully, "Sir, I’ll take you there!"

"I can go by myself." Ye Yun shook his head gently. His gaze flickered as he glanced at Su Wanyi. "You stay here."

"Yes, Old Ancestor!" Su Wanyi’s spirits lifted, and she quickly responded with respect.

Old Ancestor? When Chang Feng realized this young man in white was actually the Old Ancestor of this stunningly beautiful woman, he was even more astounded. This person’s true age must be immense. No wonder... he would know an ancestor of our family.

Ye Yun, hands clasped behind his back, departed alone, heading straight for the ancestral hall in the rear courtyard.

Chang Lu Die smiled and was about to pour Su Wanyi a cup of hot tea when, suddenly, several powerful Super Divine Dragon Breaths descended from the sky.

"Chang Feng, the three-day limit is up! If you don’t hand over your Chang Family’s ancestral Cultivation Technique, I will annihilate your entire clan today!"

A furious roar, like a thunderclap, suddenly resounded over the entire Chang Mansion.
