CHAPTER 261: CHAPTER 261: EVERYONE IS AFRAID

The Lin Family in the Southern Region, with its disciples spread across various provinces, holding important positions, boasts unparalleled influence, and is undoubtedly the foremost family in the South.

At this moment, within the Lin Family’s grand courtyard, a piece of news instantly exploded across the venue.

"What? That Ye Feng defeated the Quasi-Martial Venerable Feng Qiang?" Upon hearing this news, the Lin Family Patriarch was shocked; even someone as powerful as him was somewhat taken aback.

"This isn’t all..." The person reporting smiled wryly and continued, "Later, people from the Celestial Punishment Association arrived as well, including four peak Quasi-Martial Venerables, twelve Quasi-Martial Venerables, and fifty half-step Martial Venerables, forming an incredibly terrifying lineup..."

"What? He actually offended the Celestial Punishment Association and four deacons? Is Ye Feng still alive?"

"It’s the infamous Celestial Punishment Association, surely Ye Feng is dead, right?"

"That terrifying lineup, even if he were an Immortal, he couldn’t possibly be their match, could he?"

Before the reporting person finished speaking, the Lin Family higher-ups were stunned, unable to restrain their exclamations, clearly frightened by that terrifying lineup.

Obviously, they were aware of the Celestial Punishment Association and knew that it was not only mysterious but also incredibly powerful.

Indeed, upon reaching a certain level, everyone had heard of the Celestial Punishment Association, and its reputation wasn’t good, having harmed many, truly heinous.

Therefore, upon learning that the Celestial Punishment Association had sent so many masters, they believed Ye Feng was doomed.

"No..." Hearing their exclamations, the reporting person shook his head and continued, "Four peak Quasi-Martial Venerables teamed up, but were no match for Ye Feng. Ye Feng simultaneously defeated the four deacons, unstoppable!"

"This... What kind of devil is this guy? What realm is he in?"

"A mere Martial Grandmaster, and he can destroy the Celestial Punishment Association’s four great deacons with a flip of his hand? Are you sure this isn’t a joke?"

"This... This is unbelievable, isn’t he a Celestial God come down to earth?"

...

In an instant, everyone present from the Lin Family was dumbfounded, displaying an expression of near-terror.

Indeed, Ye Feng, with the strength of a Martial Grandmaster, managed to defeat four seasoned peak Quasi-Martial Venerables. This terrifying strength nearly scared them to death.

For a while, whenever anyone brought up Ye Feng, they would tremble with fear, feeling that Ye Feng was simply the incarnation of a devil.

"But that’s not all..." Seeing their reactions, the reporting person nodded satisfactorily and continued, "Because they were no match for Ye Feng, the four deacons called upon the Celestial Punishment Association’s twelve deputy deacons and fifty core members to set up the Eight Trigrams Array."

"This Eight Trigrams Array was extremely powerful, allowing the four deacons to draw upon the True Qi of others. They launched a full-scale assault with the strength of fifty half-step Martial Venerables, twelve Quasi-Martial Venerables, and four peak Quasi-Martial Venerables. Can you guess the outcome?"

"What happened? Such a powerful Eight Trigrams Array should have severely injured Ye Feng, right?"

"Just tell me already, what happened to Ye Feng?"

"Could Ye Feng have been killed? After all, could Ye Feng stand against the combined attack of so many masters?"

The members of the Lin Family appeared extremely anxious, scratching their heads and ears in haste, like monkeys.

"No..." The reporting person smiled and then said, "At this critical moment, Ye Feng stunned everyone with his Celestial Thunder Skill!"

"As the Celestial Thunder appeared, the world changed colors, and streams of Celestial Thunder continuously struck down, not only shattering everyone’s attacks but also easily breaking the Eight Trigrams Array, causing significant losses to the Celestial Punishment Association..."

"After severely injuring the Celestial Punishment Association, Ye Feng first crippled everyone from the Celestial Punishment Association, then disabled the Grandmaster of the Nangong Family, and finally the Grandmaster of the Su Family and Woo Family. Thus, Ye Feng triumphed gloriously amid the multi-party siege!"

"My heavens! How can he be this powerful? Where on earth did this guy come from?"

"My goodness, isn’t this too terrifying? This is practically a Celestial God in human form!"

"Does he possibly have strength far beyond a Martial Venerable?"

Hearing such results, everyone from the Lin Family was unsettled, all somewhat stupefied and buzzing in their heads.

While they might not fear Feng Qiang, facing such a terrifying figure as Ye Feng, no matter how confident the Lin Family was, they dared not provoke him.

Suddenly, everyone in the Lin Family started to tremble, unable to help but shrink their necks in fear at the thought of Ye Feng.

At this moment, the Lin Family Patriarch spoke up with furrowed brows: "From now on, the Lin Family absolutely must not become enemies with the Xu Family, and we should strive to draw closer to them, supporting the Xu Family’s actions and plans as much as possible."

"Additionally, send an invitation to Mr. Ye, inviting him to visit the East Sea. We must seize this opportunity to foster a good relationship with Mr. Ye."

"From now on, anyone who offends Mr. Ye will be dealt with according to family law and expelled from the Lin Family..."

"Wow!" With the words of the Lin Family Patriarch, the scene erupted in an uproar.

The Lin Family was truly scared; otherwise, how could they issue such a patriarchal order?

In no time, the top family in the Southern Region, the Lin Family, was so frightened by Ye Feng’s prowess that they willingly submitted to his service...

Meanwhile, in Anjing, the Wu Family, which was the strongest family besides the Lin Family in the Southern Region, ranking second in strength in the South, far surpassing the Nangong Family.

At this time, in the Wu Family’s grand courtyard, they too had learned of the situation over there and were also severely frightened.

"My heavens! Does such a fierce person truly exist in this world? You’re not deceiving us, are you?"

"Single-handedly confronting the Celestial Punishment Association’s fifty half-step Martial Venerables, twelve Quasi-Martial Venerables, and four peak Quasi-Martial Venerables, and winning easily? Isn’t that terrifying? Is he even human?"

"It’s unbelievable that such a glorious victory was created by a single Martial Grandmaster."

Knowing the miracle Ye Feng had created, everyone in the Wu Family, without exception, was frightened silly, unable to recover for a long time.

While everyone was dumbfounded, the Wu Family Patriarch issued an order with a serious expression:

"I announce! From today onwards, our Wu Family will closely cooperate with the Xu Family. Whenever the Xu Family needs help, we will do our best to satisfy them, even relinquishing positions we are interested in, to ensure a good relationship with the Xu Family..."

"At the same time... we must make connections with Mr. Ye and never offend him, or else face merciless punishment..."

The Wu Family also issued a patriarchal order to maintain good relations with the Xu Family and Ye Feng.

There was no choice; Ye Feng’s terrifying strength was like a towering mountain pressing down in front of them, leaving them unable to breathe.

In fact, even the thought of going against Ye Feng was something they didn’t dare entertain; just thinking about it made their hearts tremble with fear.

Ye Feng, with his formidable strength, established a prestigious reputation for himself in the Southern Region, making even the formidable forces like the Wu Family and Lin Family dare not oppose him.

With both the Wu and Lin Families like this, it goes without saying that the lesser families were even more shaken...
