729: Chapter 725: The Truth?
“Ye Xuong, how is the defense construction for Night King Hall coming along?”
Ye Tian inquired of Ye Xuong, who immediately nodded and said, “Don’t worry, boss, I’ve set up mechanisms all around the manor, and there are martial artists on standby at all times.
If any villain dares to break in, I guarantee they won’t be coming back!”
“Very good!”
Ye Tian praised, feeling quite assured about Ye Xuong’s work.
Although according to Ye Zhirong’s words, it was unlikely that Sima Feng would be able to attack Night King Hall in the short term, it was always better to be safe than sorry, and setting up defensive installations was necessary.
“Ye Xuong, you stay here and carefully guard the four of them as they cultivate Xuan Yun Gong, because their ability to utilize the force of nature is critical for the strength enhancement of Night King Hall!
So, watch them closely, and when necessary, pass on your experience to them!”
Ye Tian spoke indifferently, and Ye Xuong immediately acknowledged the order!
“Yes, boss!”
Meanwhile, Ye Xuong’s gaze was firmly fixed on Ye Tian and did not waver.
Feeling somewhat surprised, Ye Tian asked, “Ye Xuong, why are you staring at me?”
“I’m really sorry, boss!
I was rude!”
Ye Xuong hurriedly apologized and revealed to Ye Tian the reason he had been staring…
“Boss, though it’s only been a few hours since we last saw each other, why do I feel like you’ve changed into a different person?
You feel completely different from before!”
Ye Tian responded directly, and with a laugh, Ye Tian replied, “Really?
How so?”
Ye Xuong added, “I can’t quite put my finger on it!
But I just feel that the boss’s temperament has changed!
Before, the boss was powerful and arrogant, inspiring admiration in everyone!
But now, even without showing it off, even if you don’t say a word, I can feel an overwhelming aura emanating from you, as if it’s about to completely envelop me!”
“Heh, is it that magical?”
Ye Tian couldn’t help but grin; he had not expected that after completely integrating his inner strength, his temperament would undergo such a drastic transformation!
Now, he must be particularly charismatic!
In the backyard, where the Ding brothers were overseeing Dracula and the others, they gathered around and voiced their opinions on the changes in Ye Tian’s aura too.
“Boss, just as Ye Xuong said, you give off a different vibe now!
Strong and confident, aloof without being ostentatious—it’s the air a true powerhouse should have!”
“Yeah, boss, if I were a woman, I’d probably be enchanted by you at first glance!”
“Boss, I just feel like you look especially handsome right now!
Exceptionally charming!
Just like a leader!
Following a boss like this, I would lay down my life!”
The Ding brothers showered Ye Tian with flattery, and Ye Tian smiled, though he didn’t linger in the backyard any longer and directly left the headquarters of Night King Hall.
This sense of calm and strength—Ye Tian found it quite extraordinary.
However, if his power couldn’t beat Sima Feng, no amount of calm or cool would compensate for the loss…
Thus, after wandering around the manor of Night King Hall, Ye Tian returned to the room where he had been cultivating.
Here, Ye Zhirong had completed his meditation and his complexion looked much better.
“Kid, why have you come back?”
Ye Zhirong saw Ye Tian and immediately asked in surprise.
Ye Tian smiled and said, “Mr.
Ye, didn’t you say that I’ve only integrated seventy percent of my inner strength?
Only when I have integrated ninety percent will I stand a chance at defeating Sima Feng.
With such formidable enemies all around, how can I afford to wander around at ease?
Therefore, I want to continue training to increase the integration of my inner strength!”
“Kid, you sure are diligent!”
Ye Zhirong couldn’t help but express his admiration.
Ye Tian before him was not only powerful but also had boundless potential.
He was so young—if he continued cultivating for a few more decades, who knew what heights he would reach?
But before Ye Tian had even begun to meditate, he asked bluntly, “Mr.
Ye, you mentioned before that if I managed to integrate all the various forces within me, you would reveal to me the matters concerning the Ye and Sima families.
Is that true?”
Ye Tian revisited the old conversation, and Ye Zhirong, naturally, was not one to break a promise!
“Rest assured, kid, as long as you prove your strength in front of me, as a powerful being, you will be entitled to know the truth!
I will tell you everything I know!
And exactly what the millennium plan of the Sima Family is!”
“Thank you…”
Ye Tian said calmly, then sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes.
Once more, he began to recall the sensation in his body from before.
This sensation could make him stronger!
Of course, even with Ye Tian’s high aptitude, one cannot become full with a single bite!
After integrating about 70% of his power, Ye Tian spent two days to increase the integration of his Inner Strength to over 80%, still a certain distance away from the 90% requirement set by Ye Zhirong.
While fusing his power, Ye Tian also took the time to patrol the estate and visited the backyard to check on Dracula and the other three’s cultivation progress with the Xuan Yun Technique.
Fortunately, even though the cultivation of the Xuan Yun Technique was challenging, the aptitudes of Dracula and the others were no less than that of Ye Xuong.
Thus, they all gritted their teeth and cultivated diligently…
Ye Tian estimated that it would take the four about ten days to fully master the Xuan Yun Technique.
After all, haste makes waste, and such things cannot be rushed!
During the two days he lingered in the manor, although Yun Xinyan did not call, she did send a few text messages every day…
For someone as aloof and strong-willed as Yun Xinyan to send so many texts to Ye Tian every day, it meant that she missed him a great deal!
And Ye Tian himself started to miss Yun Xinyan as well…
Therefore, Ye Tian could only come to see Ye Zhirong…
“Mr.
Ye, although I’d like to push through in one go and raise the integration level of the power within me above 90%, looking at the current situation, it seems I’ve hit a bottleneck.
So, continuing to cultivate may not be of much help!
My wife is alone at home, and I can’t stop worrying about her, so I want to go back and see her!”
The headquarters estate of Night King Hall was Ye Tian’s private property.
However, since he was cultivating under Ye Zhirong’s guidance, it was necessary for Ye Tian to inform Ye Zhirong before leaving.
Ye Zhirong sighed and said, “Kid, your aptitude is not bad, but merging the Inner Strength in your body is not something that can be done in a day!
Even for you, it would take at least a year and a half to fully integrate your power!”
Ye Tian gave a wry smile and said, “Mr.
Ye, by saying that, aren’t you toying with me?
We agreed that once my power integration reached over 90%, you would reveal the truth to me!
But if I really have to wait a year and a half, by then the Sima Family’s aims would probably have been achieved, right?”
“Hehehe~~~~~ Kid, don’t get mad!”
Ye Zhirong smiled and then slapped his thigh heavily.
“Since we’re so fated, I might as well tell you all the truths!
But kid, after you learn the truth, don’t regret it!”
Ye Zhirong’s sincere attitude made Ye Tian feel somewhat taken aback…
“Mr.
Ye, are you really going to spill everything to me?”
Ye Tian asked dubiously, but Ye Zhirong nodded emphatically in response.
“Of course, I, Ye Zhirong, am not a liar.
Rest assured, I will tell you everything you want to know!
Of course, after learning the ins and outs of the matter, you must offer help to the Ye family and join us in confronting the Sima Family!”
“No problem!”
Ye Tian said loudly.
If an issue constantly bothered him without resolution, it could be extremely uncomfortable.
Therefore, at this moment, Ye Tian felt particularly happy.
“So, the first question, Mr.
Ye, can you tell me why the Ye Family is so short of money?
Why do you care so much about wealth, exactly?”
Ye Tian joked, which irritated Ye Zhirong!
“You brat!
What’s wrong with loving money?
Does a person who cultivates the force of nature have to be free from desire?
I’m not a Taoist; how could I possibly be detached from all worldly matters?
Moreover, why the Ye Family is short of money is our private business.
What’s it to you?”
Ye Zhirong said angrily, his face flushing red as if the mention of money made him lose his temper!
Ye Tian waved his hand and said, “Mr.
Ye, I was just joking, please don’t take it to heart!
You know what I really want to find out, so tell me, please!”
Ye Zhirong glanced at Ye Tian, the boy actually dared to tease him.
But he didn’t get angry and instead said coldly, “Kid, this isn’t the place to talk.
Follow me!”
“Alright!”
Ye Tian responded and then followed Ye Zhirong out of the room.
Reaching the courtyard, Ye Zhirong leapt up with a bound and started using his Qinggong, heading toward the exterior of the estate.
“Huh?
There are traps?”
Ye Zhirong noticed the defensive setups all around the estate, mumbling to himself, but even so, these minor traps were naturally no threat to him.
After several days of recuperation, Ye Zhirong’s injuries had mostly healed.
Therefore, avoiding all the traps with his Qinggong was an easy feat.
Seeing that Ye Zhirong seemed to be testing his own martial skills, Ye Tian did not dare to slack off and also used his Qinggong, closely following behind…
The martial artists inside Night King Hall, seeing Ye Zhirong and Ye Tian, one old and one young, begin to chase each other using Qinggong, had all their attention drawn!
