Chapter 514: A Powerhouse From The Upper Realm

Feng Yiyuan smiled embarrassedly, and he could not hide his disappointment. Nonetheless, he was well-prepared for this. If Ou Yangming wanted to dominate, he had an excuse ready; if the young fellow wanted to stay out of the matter, he would have something else to say.

“Master Ou, the imperial family won’t allow a powerhouse like you to stay in this world without being controlled, so they’ll do everything they can to send you away. You have a friend in Spirit Grade and two spirit beasts, but the ability that’ll allow you to overrun the world and go anywhere you please in this realm won’t mean anything in the upper realm.”

Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. “Senior Feng, you don’t need to entice me because I’m well aware of that. Even so, as long as it’s possible, I’ll still make a trip there.”

He knew very well how powerful an Almighty Being from the upper realm was when he encountered the Ghost-clawed Venerable One.

When that figure adopted a secret technique and transformed the passage through the Inescapable Trap to capture him to the upper realm, he knew he would not be a match.

Almost Ou Yangming yearned for a trip to the upper realm, he did not want to go there as a captive. Therefore, he did his best to struggle and escaped. Nevertheless, regardless of what was waiting for the young fellow in the upper realm, his final target would not change.

Feng Yiyuan’s eyes lit up, and he suddenly said, “Master Ou, frankly speaking, I’ve communicated with the clans in the upper realm. If you’re able to help the inherited clans from the eight counties in this realm, you’ll definitely be protected by the Eight Great Aristocratic Families once you go beyond this world.” He was tempting Ou Yangming very much while he stared at the young fellow without blinking at all.

They could not restrain Ou Yangming in this world, so they could only attract him through the illusory method.

Ou Yangming smiled faintly at the great ancestor and asked, “How would you like me to help you?”

“The Wu family has been in command of this world for too long; this country should be ruled by the other clans in turns,” Feng Yiyuan answered seriously.

“They didn’t make any mistakes throughout their reign, so why do you want to overthrow them? Hmph, you want to drag the entire human race into flames of war for your own interests. You’re disregarding the living beings in the world, and it’s the real act of defying heavenly principles!” Ou Yangming sneered.

Feng Yiyuan’s lips trembled, and he explained, “Master Ou, it’s not my idea but that of the Eight Great Aristocratic Families from the upper realm after their discussion!”

Ou Yangming was indifferent. “Are your words definite? If I really help the wicked perpetuate wicked deeds, we’ll be faced with imminent danger!”

Although the aristocratic families from the eight counties had inheritances from the upper realm, so did the Wu family. If Ou Yangming forced the Wu family too much in this realm and even stole the country from them, how would he be treated if he went to the upper realm?

He had repeatedly expressed to Feng Yiyuan that he had no intentions of getting involved, but the great ancestor still pestered him, hence he was secretly infuriated.

Feng Yiyuan naturally sensed Ou Yangming’s impatience, but he gritted his teeth and stressed, “Master Ou, the Wu family can’t resist the Eight Great Aristocratic Families in the upper realm no matter what!”

“So… What does that have to do with me?” Ou Yangming glared coldly at him, then he turned around proudly and walked outside.

There were still guards on the periphery at the moment, and they immediately tensed up when they noticed that Ou Yangming and Feng Yiyuan parted on bad terms. Even though they did not retrieve their weapons, they cast vigilant and threatening looks at the young fellow.

“Senior Feng, are you trying to block my path?” Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. He made up his mind that if Feng Yiyuan had the guts to say “yes”, there would be bloodshed.

Feng Yiyuan’s eyelids twitched, but he waved his hand and responded, “I dare not do that. Do as you wish, Master Ou.”

The cultivators that blocked Ou Yangming’s path looked at each other and backed away though they were not reconciled to the outcome. On the other hand, the young fellow was stunned, but he soon shook his head then flapped his sleeves and left.

Seeing as he went far away, Xiao Hualing and Zhong Fengcai slowly walked out from the dark. The latter questioned coldly, “Brother Feng, why didn’t you stop him? We’re no match for him because Senior Ho… That man followed him, and he has three spirit beasts, but why should we be afraid of him since he’s in our hands?”

“Brother Zhong, given Senior Hong’s identity, why do you think he’s willing to follow Master Ou?” Feng Yiyuan sighed.

“It’s obviously because Master Ou defeated him, so he chose to do that to stay alive,” Zhong Fengcai answered without any hesitation, “As long as we’re careful, our success rate will be high.”

Feng Yiyuan shook his head and raised another question, “Brother Zhong, do you really think Senior Hong is inferior to the big yellow dog?”

Zhong Fengcai was dumbfounded. “Brother Feng, what do you mean?”

“He’s hiding his light,” Feng Yiyuan uttered.

Xiao Hualing was taken aback. “Brother Feng, are you saying that Master Ou’s a Spirit Grade powerhouse too?”

“That’s impossible!” Zhong Feicai turned around abruptly. “We’ve looked into him and found out that he’s a local from this world, so how could he have broken through to Spirit Grade?”

“Nothing’s impossible. Heh, if anything’s impossible, that’ll be the previous greatest powerhouse from the imperial family…” Feng Yiyuan expressed slowly.

Zhong Fengcai paused for a while, but he was not convinced, “Brother Feng, how could he alone be mentioned on equal terms with the imperial family?”

Feng Yiyuan could not help but laugh. “He already has four Spirit Grade powerhouses around him, albeit three of them are spirit beasts. Heh, do you think powerhouses like them are willing to obey an Extreme Grade cultivator?”

Xiao Hualing and Zhong Fengcai were struck dumb, and they were terrified.

Feng Yiyuan’s words could be easily understood, thus they began to imagine things.

Indeed, from every point of view, Ou Yangming could not be a simple character at all.

It might be justifiable if a spirit beast acknowledged Ou Yangming as its master by fate because since ancient times, there were past examples of people capable of defying the natural order. However, to say that a Spirit Grade powerhouse and three spirit beasts were blinded and subdued by a Supreme Great Ancestor… Unless one was a fool, one would not believe it at all.

Zhong Fengcai’s lips trembled. “Brother Feng, could Master Ou have already surpassed Extreme Grade when he conquered his first spirit beast in Changlong City?”

“I can’t understand the way he does things, but…” Feng Yiyuan smiled bitterly and continued after a moment of hesitation, “There are no signs of him relying on help from the imperial family, and he also rejected Governor Peng and General Nian when they tried to rope him in. It looks like he really doesn’t want to meddle in this at all.”

By name, Feng Yiyuan was neither the governor nor the commanding general of Canghai City, but the Feng family had kept watch over the city for a millennium and were the real master of the city.

In fact, Feng Yiyuan had secretly arranged his people by the governor and the general’s side.

This was the biggest advantage of having the support of inheritances from the upper realm. If it was not because the imperial family was superior and had absolute power to crush everything, Peng Huachi and Nian Xinran—two ordinary Supreme Great Ancestors—could not stir up any trouble in Canghai City.

“Brother Feng, what should we do then?” Xiao Hualing asked in a deep voice. At this point, even Zhong Fengcai curbed his thought and quietly waited for Feng Yiyuan’s decision.

Feng Yiyuan sighed. “This matter is no longer something that I can handle or decide, but…” He curled his lips into a smile and stated, “I have my plans. Stay here to entertain the guests while I make a move first.” He nodded at his partners.

Zhong Fengcai and Xiao Hualing sighed breaths of relief. Seeing as Feng Yiyuan was far away, the former spoke in an envious tone, “Brother Feng must be going to communicate with the powerhouse from the upper realm. Ah, it’s different to have the inheritance from the upper realm…”

Xiao Hualing looked at him and said, “Brother Zhong, it’s best not to bring this up!”

“Yes, I was just casually talking about it.” Zhong Fengcai’s heart trembled a little, but he quickly laughed and shook his hand. “Let’s go to receive the guests. We must let them feel at home.”

With that, the two men smiled at each other and left.

Feng Yiyuan returned to his residence and entered a quiet courtyard. The courtyard was not big, but it was strictly guarded. Numerous people were keeping watch openly and covertly, which was evident that this place was the biggest forbidden area in the residence. It was worth noting that less than 5 people from the Feng family were entitled to enter the place.

Needless to say, Feng Yiyuan was able to enter. Once he went in, he gently pressed a spot on the wall, revealing a black entrance.

He flapped his sleeves and went in discreetly.

Beyond the entrance was a world of its own—a brand new world.

The eight inherited aristocratic families and the imperial family had their respective secret realms, but every secret realm was situated dissimilarly.

While the Ni family’s secret realm was located outside the city, the Feng family’s was inside their residence.

There was also a cottage inside the secret realm. Feng Yiyuan entered with a solemn expression, and he was greeted with a portrait. He kneeled before it from far and raised his hands above his head to slowly kowtow at it.

After a brief moment, the space around the portrait seemed to have a slight fluctuation.

“Why are you in such a hurry? What happened? Are the Aquatics so forceful that they managed to break into the city?”

A faint voice was suddenly heard, and it echoed inside the cottage.

Feng Yiyuan answered sternly, “Sir, the Aquatics’ spirit beast has been executed, and the Humans’ disaster ended.”

“Oh, it’s already resolved? Is that unknown Spiritualist so powerful?”

“Sir, that’s not it,” Feng Yiyuan quickly responded. He gave an account of Ou Yangming’s arrival and everything that happened after that as fast as he could.

“Hmph, that person doesn’t appreciate one’s kindness at all. Fine, I’ll give you something for you to show him!”

The area around the portrait dimmed at the spur of the moment, then it was bright again as a jade pendant appeared.

“Bring this to him, and I’ll make him repent.”

Feng Yiyuan’s eyes lit up. He did not know what his great ancestor would do but since the elder was so confident, he would not reject the gift.
