A quiet night passed, and the next morning, Ye Feng got up early and sat cross-legged at the head of the bed.

    The sunlight streamed in through the window, casting a faint golden glow over his body, giving him an indescribable aura.

    Ye Feng took a deep breath before placing his hands on his thighs and forming an ancient Dharma Seal, quickly entering a state of meditation.

    His breathing followed a certain rhythm as he inhaled and exhaled; the naked eye could see the golden sunlight, which was actually vital energy being absorbed into his lower abdomen.

    Ye Feng exhaled deeply, and a white mist emerged from his nose that was half a meter long before it finally dissipated.

    In this way, he entered a rhythmic state of breathing technique and cultivation.

    After an unknown duration, Ye Feng''s initially closed eyes suddenly flashed with two rays of golden light.

    At that moment, his inner strength began to surge wildly within him, becoming even more robust.

    "Finally, the second acupoint, the Ear Acupoint, has been unblocked!" Ye Feng mused internally.

    Since stepping into the Realm of the Martial King, he needed to unblock the 108 acupoints within the body, and with each acupoint unblocked, the Inner Strength of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians would become more robust. Of course, another huge benefit of unblocking acupoints was life extension and greatly enhanced vitality.

    Furthermore, the inner strength in the muscles and veins could also be stored in the acupoints.

    It is well known that the Eight Extraordinary Meridians are very small, so the inner strength they can store is quite limited. However, unblocking the acupoints is different, as each acupoint can store much more inner strength than the Eight Meridians.

    This is also why martial artists in the Martial King Realm are far more powerful and have more enduring combat power than Huajin Grandmasters!

    "After unblocking the second acupoint, the Ear Acupoint, my hearing has greatly improved!"

    Ye Feng listened intently. Not only could he hear Hong Qingyan making breakfast downstairs, but he could also clearly hear the sound of insects crawling in the courtyard outside.

    "The Realm of the Martial King is truly extraordinary. If all 108 acupoints are unblocked, there would be a massive transformation throughout my body then!"

    Ye Feng smiled faintly, then broke out of his cultivation state, for he had already heard Hong Qingyan coming upstairs.

    Just as he exhaled the last bit of turbid air from his body, Hong Qingyan knocked and then pushed open the door.

    "Big Brother Ye, you''re awake. Breakfast is ready. Shall I help you get out of bed now?" Hong Qingyan said with a smile.

    After last night''s events, their relationship had undoubtedly become much closer. Ye Feng nodded.

    Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhan Tian were seething with rage, and at this moment, both were looking to Ye Feng, waiting for him to speak. With just one command from their lord, they would pounce like fierce tigers to twist off the opponent''s head.

    Even Hong Qingyan was sneaking glances at him from the corner of her eyes at this time.

    "Ye Feng, did you hear that, the leader of the Martial Alliance of Southern River Region Jiangnan, his grand presence visits and you still have not come out promptly. Do you really want to seek death?"

    "Mad Son-in-law of the Hong Family, our Alliance Leader said that as long as you crawl out and kneel to admit your wrongs, the Alliance Leader in his magnanimity might just spare your life!"

    "Ye Feng, did you hear that? This is your last chance, come out and kowtow to admit your mistakes!"

    The person outside kept calling out, and although Murong Zhan Tian had not spoken from the beginning to end, the arrogance and haughtiness could still be seen through his subordinates'' shouts.

    After all, as the Leader of the Martial Alliance of Southern River Region Jiangnan and a Huajin Grandmaster, also being the head of the Gusu Murong Family, he was a top-notch presence in Jiangnan Province. Thus, Murong Zhan Tian naturally believed he had the capital to be arrogant and proud.

    "Ridiculous, he has truly turned against us, to actually have our lord crawl out and kneel to admit wrongs. I have never seen anyone dare to be so arrogant and presumptuous in front of a prince!" Sima Zhan Tian''s hair was practically standing on end.

    "My King, please allow me to go out now!" Xiao Chuanqi bowed again.

    Ye Feng had finally finished eating. His expression remained utterly calm, to him, a mere leader of the Martial Alliance of Southern River Region Jiangnan was nothing but a fart.

    He slowly put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a napkin before finally speaking, "Seventeen, go out and tell that old guy Murong Zhan Tian to kneel and crawl in here. I might just spare his life."

    "Remember, this is his last chance, otherwise, no mercy!" Ye Feng''s tone was very calm; to him, this was not a big deal at all.

    "Yes!" Seventeen bowed and took the order, then turned to pass the message.

    The members of the Martial Alliance burst into angry shouts upon hearing Seventeen''s message: "What did you say, that Ye Feng dares to demand our Alliance Leader to crawl in on his knees, he truly thinks he can revolt against the heavens!"

    "This Mad Son-in-law of the Hong Family seems to be truly beyond his limits in madness, daring to be so arrogantly disrespectful to our Alliance Leader. Not killing this man is insufficient to vent our anger!"

    "We must kill him, our Alliance Leader''s dignity must not be challenged!"

    "Ye Feng, not only is he arrogantly wanton, but he also wishes to swallow the assets of families like Cui Yan''s, he truly deserves death. Alliance Leader, please give your order!"

    Murong Zhan Tian stood at the entrance with his hands behind his back, squinting as he looked inside, he then snorted coldly, "This is really outrageous, all of you, heed my command. After entering, if anyone dares to resist, kill without mercy!"

    "Yes, Alliance Leader!" In an instant, several of the Martial Alliance''s high-level experts moved, along with the experts from several major families like Cui Yan''s as well.
