Ye Longlin's words were simple, yet they exuded an overwhelming aura of dominance!
The five experts on the Investiture of the Gods list were absolute top-tier existences. At least on the surface, the Investiture of the Gods experts were the face of power!
Not just the Butcher, but also the other four!
The seventh on the Investiture of the Gods list, Sanniang.
The sixth on the Investiture of the Gods list, Liu Mu.
The fifth on the Investiture of the Gods list, Shi Jie.
The tenth on the Investiture of the Gods list, Ji Anliu.
Except for the ninth, who was absent, everyone from the fifth to the tenth had arrived.
This was the most complete gathering besides the competition for the Investiture of the Gods.
Sanniang was a woman, though she appeared to be still in her prime. A red cloth was tied around her forehead, her sleeves rolled up as she stood by the roadside.
Every two hundred meters, a person was stationed, meaning Ye Longlin could only proceed after defeating them.
The experts on the Investiture of the Gods list possessed their own pride, and they wouldn't do something as undignified as attacking together.
All experts had pride, let alone those on the Investiture of the Gods list.
However, they should have been ranked in order from eighteen, seven, six, five. This current order was truly interesting.
Doesn't this imply that Ji Anliu was stronger than all of them?
"Since that is the case, I also want to see if you can stop me!"
As Ye Longlin spoke, a powerful aura instantly enveloped the entire scene.
The first to block him was the eighth on the Investiture of the Gods list, Peng Jiguang, known as the Butcher!
"Only by facing me personally will you know how terrifying the invincible Commander Ye Longlin truly is."
"When I was your age, I was merely a Dragon-Elephant-like existence."
Peng Jiguang couldn't help but sigh. The former Commander standing before him was truly young. When he was this age, he was still slaughtering pigs. Decades passed, and he was still slaughtering pigs.
The only difference was that compared to himself at thirty, his pig-slaughtering skills had become more refined, to the point where the pigs barely felt any pain.
"The previous leader once said that the Investiture of the Gods represents the myriad states of human life. It seems he wasn't wrong."
The ten on the Investiture of the Gods list, each with a different profession, but what they all had in common was that they all came from the lower strata of society.
He hadn't paid attention before, but now this group had caused him some trouble. Of course, the problem wasn't too significant.
"Myriad states of human life? Heh, that's not a bad description, but that's just what he thought."
The Butcher waved his cleaver, and a sonic boom instantly erupted in the air!
After this, countless people watched this battle from the shadows. For many, the battle of top experts on the Investiture of the Gods list was not to be missed. Of course, there were still many people observing this.
Chen Fuzi appeared on the rooftop of a skyscraper, with an old man standing beside him.
"Are the people from your Ye family's main lineage not planning to intervene?"
Chen Fuzi spoke slowly, his tone very calm. Within that calm tone, an earth-shattering figure was revealed.
"My lineage disappeared from the world for a century after Ye Guohui. The current Ye family wants to eliminate us completely, but they can't find any information about my main lineage. But it doesn't matter, when the time comes to act, my lineage will definitely act. Otherwise, why would I be here?"
The old man spoke slowly, a faint smile on his lips. Watching the current predicament of the descendants of the Ye family's main lineage, he was not panicked at all, and even felt like fetching a stool to watch the show.
They all knew that it was practically impossible for the people on the Investiture of the Gods list to stop him.
"Indeed, your Ye family's main lineage, even among the hidden families, considers themselves invincible. You truly don't need to worry."
"But... have you ever considered that Ye Longlin has never received any resources from your Ye family? The fact that he has reached this point is due to his talent and his desperate spirit. Do you really think he would look down on the resources of your main lineage?"
Chen Fuzi was not flustered either. For his only disciple, this was merely a minor issue. The people behind this matter were what they needed to be wary of.
"Whether he looks down on it or not, the Old Heavenly Master of Taoism once said that for the Ye family lineage to survive, it can only rely on him. He and Ye Qingxin will have a battle, and that battle should not be far off."
The old man stroked his beard, smiling as he looked at Maple Leaf Avenue, a kind smile appearing on his face.
For him, what Ye Longlin represented was something only he knew in his heart. kuAiδugg
"I don't care about the Ye family's affairs. All I care about is my disciple. If my disciple suffers any injustice in your Ye family, this brush of mine will make your Ye family pay the price!"
The old man sighed helplessly, "We've known each other for so many years, you should know what kind of person I am. Besides, when have I ever lied?"
Chen Fuzi: "..."
This was also the truth.
When these old fellows had nothing to do, they would gather to play cards. If this old fellow got a few 'bombs' at the start, he would announce it, saying, "I've already told you I have a few bombs. Anyway, I've said it, whether you believe it or not is your business!"
Then Chen Fuzi would cheat, with his "word is law" ability, his hand would be full of bombs, winning a round with eight eights, nine sixes, five kings, and so on, was already commonplace.
"I will only say one thing: Ye Longlin is my disciple. I do not wish for anything to happen to him. You should know what stage I have reached."
Chen Fuzi once again issued a cold threat.
The old man could only nod helplessly, "Understood."
This calamity in the capital was not publicized.
Referring to the past, true calamities were never announced in advance, let alone battles of this magnitude.
And this time, it was exactly like that, and it was Ye Longlin's most dangerous and difficult tribulation since arriving in the capital.
Therefore, it also attracted some old figures.
This group of old figures had never appeared in the capital. Those who could remember them were only the imperial guards of that era or people of the same generation.
But many of their peers were probably already in their early twenties?
Not only here, but there was another special place in the capital that was also bustling with activity due to Ye Longlin's sudden return.
Ju An Building.
The so-called Ju An Building was not just one building, but a residential complex. However, this complex was different from other complexes.
This was a genuine military compound.
The retired elders living here belonged to the military.
These elders held high military ranks, and if they truly caused trouble, they could indeed shake the capital.
At least nine out of ten had received special combat commendations, and the remaining one was at least a member of a special team, or a commander, an officer, or something similar.
It could be said that this was one of the foundational reserves of the military.
At this moment, in the center of Ju An Building, elders were sitting with their legs crossed, like generals preparing for battle. Although they were old, they had not lost their commanding presence!
"Old Li, how have you been recently?"
