CHAPTER 719: CHAPTER 719: THE HIGHEST ECHELON OF THE CELESTIAL PUNISHMENT ASSOCIATION!

After leaving enough personnel behind, Ye Feng led the expedition army to attack the Zhang Family.

This time, the lineup was extremely terrifying, with over two thousand half-step Martial Gods, three thousand quasi-Martial Gods, more than one thousand junior Martial Gods, over two hundred intermediate Martial Gods, more than a hundred senior Martial Gods, and over twenty peak Martial Gods.

In fact, for this expedition army, many of the powerful individuals were mostly from the Ye Family.

For instance, among the quasi-Martial Gods, the Ye Family accounted for a large portion, with Ye Feng himself having over five hundred of the more than one thousand junior Martial Gods under his command.

Out of the twenty-plus peak Martial Gods, aside from ten from the Shi Family and two from the Divine Dragon Guard, the remaining were all from the Ye Family, totaling thirteen, which was more than all the other forces combined.

With so many powerful individuals, Ye Feng felt that this operation was bound to succeed and aimed to crush the Zhang Family and the Celestial Punishment Association completely.

....

On the other side, as the expedition army left the Ye Family, the Celestial Punishment Association received the news.

At that moment, within the secret base of the Celestial Punishment Association, many of its high-ranking members were gathered, discussing the actions of the Ye Family.

The person sitting at the head position wore a deep red cloak and a strange Celestial God Mask.

This person was the Celestial God King of the Celestial Punishment Association, its highest authority, only below the elusive Celestial Venerate Divine King and Earth Venerate Divine King.

Opposite him sat a person in a light red cloak, also wearing a Celestial God Mask; this individual was the Vice Celestial God King, his deputy.

Beside them were others sitting, all clad in scarlet cloaks and wearing various masks.

These were the various Domain Kings, who managed large regions for the Celestial Punishment Association. These individuals typically governed the entire state for the association, wielding significant power.

Both the Celestial God King and these Domain Kings possessed incredibly strong auras.

Originally, their strength wasn’t so terrifying, but after conquering many hidden families globally, their power grew stronger.

Additionally, due to the effects of potions, the overall power of the Celestial Punishment Association had become extraordinarily exaggerated.

Indeed, if they hadn’t used the potions themselves, how could they spare any for the Zhang Family to use?

"How are the preparations coming along?" The Celestial God King asked, frowning at the people before him.

"Everything is ready. If the Ye Family dares to come, we believe we can annihilate them."

"Indeed, after preparing and planning for so long, we absolutely cannot let them escape this time."

"This time, they will not return, and the Zhang Family will be their burial ground. Do they really have the strength to oppose us, the Celestial Punishment Association?"

Following the Celestial God King’s words, the Domain Kings confidently responded in unison.

In their view, the Celestial Punishment Association now possessed such strong power, dealing with just the Ye Family and the remaining ragtag forces was no challenge at all.

"Although we have already gauged the basic strength of the Ye Family, we must not let our guard down. We must completely crush the Ye Family and eliminate Ye Feng, our major concern." The Celestial God King reminded with a frown.

"Yes! We obey the divine order." Upon hearing the Celestial God King’s reminder, the Domain Kings responded earnestly.

At the same time, under the Celestial God King’s command, the Celestial Punishment Association set up an inescapable net at the Zhang Family’s territory. The moment Ye Feng and his forces set foot there, they would be met with a massive counterattack.

Under the arrangements of the Celestial Punishment Association, the Zhang Family went on to organize methodically.

....

On the other side, Ye Feng and his team were obviously unaware.

At this time, Ye Feng was leading the expedition army towards the Zhang Family at a very fast pace.

"Do you think our expedition this time will be successful? I feel a bit uneasy in my heart."

"Ah! With our strength, I feel it’s a bit risky. I hope I won’t die on the battlefield?"

"I hope I can return alive! I have children waiting for me at home."

"If possible, who would be willing to risk their life against the Celestial Punishment Association? But if we don’t do this, the Celestial Punishment Association and the Zhang Family will wreak havoc in the Cultivation Realm, and it might even turn into a human purgatory, so we can only succeed, failure is not an option."

"Even though that’s said, I still feel a bit scared, and I hope we can all return alive."

Walking on alongside, many felt somewhat anxious, afraid that this might be a one-way trip, with no return.

Despite the anxiety and fear, they clearly understood the necessity of their actions; otherwise, once the Celestial Punishment Association and the Zhang Family turned the Cultivation Realm into a human purgatory, they would truly have no way to survive.

By then, the entire Cultivation Realm would become lambs to the slaughter under the Celestial Punishment Association and the Zhang Family’s mercy.

"Are you afraid?"

"Afraid? Why be afraid? The Patriarch worked so hard to enhance our strength; isn’t this the perfect opportunity to showcase it? It’s time for us to make our name known!"

"Exactly, the men of the Ye Family don’t know the meaning of fear; we will beat the Zhang Family and the Celestial Punishment Association to pieces, showing them that the Ye Family is not to be trifled with."

"Haha! This time, the Ye Family is going to make the whole world know that we are the number one family in the world, making others steer clear of our path."

Seeing others’ fear, everyone from the Ye Family couldn’t be more excited. They thought about soon showcasing their strength and contributing to their family, they couldn’t contain their excitement.

Indeed, the people of the Ye Family were all talented prodigies, all proud and ambitious, all intent on making a name for themselves. If not for Ye Feng’s strong control, they might have turned the world upside down.

Such a group of freakish talents could only be managed by Ye Feng. For any other family, even the Shi Family, it probably wouldn’t work.

"Husband, look at how good the Ye Family’s atmosphere is." Seeing the positive atmosphere, Situ Jing smiled and indicated.

"Indeed! The expedition against the Zhang Family and the Celestial Punishment Association is just a small matter; they should have this kind of attitude." Ye Feng nodded in satisfaction.

Ye Feng was quite pleased with the performance of the Ye Family members.

In contrast, the members of other families gave Ye Feng a bit of a headache.

With morale like this, such a demeanor, what combat power could there be?

People like this, when faced with trouble, would surely get into a mess and could even endanger their own people.

It seemed a strategy had to be carefully laid out.

Yet, formulating a strategy at the last minute probably wasn’t too realistic.

"Ah!" This left Ye Feng somewhat helpless, shaking his head. Managing such a united group was indeed quite challenging.

Thus, on the way, Ye Feng forcibly imposed some rules and gave them a crash course in training.

This managed to improve the situation somewhat, but it still didn’t meet Ye Feng’s expectations.

Ye Feng knew this was the limit of what he could do; whether they would succeed or not was left to fate, something he couldn’t forcefully change....
