In the blink of an eye, three days had passed, and within that time, the name "Ye Feng" had spread throughout Kabukicho. Almost everyone knew of Ye Feng, who had become the new master of West Street and the manager of faith in Kabukicho. Ye Feng had undoubtedly become a sensation across the entire area.
That night, deep into the hours of darkness, Ye Feng was in the Zhao Family’s secret meeting room. Inside the room, several individuals knelt on one knee before Ye Feng, their gazes filled with respect for him, and among these people was Zhao Yebao.
Zhao Yebao was completely shaken, and his inner turmoil showed no signs of calming anytime soon.
For knelt before Ye Feng alongside him were the strongest members from the Youcheng Family, the Sanjing Family, and the Matsuboto Family—three of the top-tier noble houses. How could Zhao Yebao not be shocked?
One must know that these three individuals were Martial Kings at the Legendary realm, so influential that a mere stamp of their foot could make the Capital City tremble thrice over. They could annihilate the Zhao Family with ease if they wished.
Yet now, these three fearsome figures, just like him, knelt before Ye Feng, their eyes filled with deep reverence for him, something Zhao Yebao had not anticipated at all.
Ye Feng, who had only subjugated the Zhao Family a few days prior, had already succeeded in bringing the three top-tier noble houses to heel. This time, Zhao Yebao was truly convinced of Ye Feng’s authority.
Even the Sanjing Family, Youcheng Family, and Matsuboto Family, whose strengths far surpassed that of his own Zhao Family, had been subdued by Ye Feng. Against him, the Zhao Family seemed even more inconsequential.
At that moment, fear was apparent in the eyes of the three great ancestors, and in the presence of Ye Feng, they dared not even draw breath too loudly.
Ye Feng sat in the place of honor, his expression serene and betraying no hint of emotional ripples. His eyes, calm and untroubled, beheld Zhao Yebao and the others, making him seem like an immovable mountain, his presence majestic, giving them a sense of an invisible yet immense pressure that was earth-shatteringly powerful if disturbed.
Ye Feng spoke slowly, his authority as a superior figure undeniable, his voice clear as that of an immortal from the heavens, resonating in every person’s ears and striking directly at their hearts.
They felt a tremendously powerful pressure.
"You three, the items I tasked you with collecting, how goes your progress?"
Upon hearing Ye Feng’s inquiry, the three great ancestors revealed looks of horror, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, their foreheads beaded with large droplets of sweat, their expressions extremely unsightly.
The Youcheng Ancestor spoke with resignation, "Master, we have only managed to find the Reincarnation Flower and the Azure Dragon Root. As for the other items, we have not found them yet. The items you asked us to seek are exceedingly rare, and three days have simply been too short. Please grant us more time, Master, and we will surely find all the items you require!"
After speaking, the three great ancestors trembled with fear, completely lacking the dignity of Martial Arts Kings. In front of Ye Feng, they were like utterly insignificant ants, their stance ridiculous.
"Oh?" A hint of surprise showed in Ye Feng’s eyes, "I did not expect you to actually find two items!"
The Azure Dragon Root and the Reincarnation Flower were precisely the two main ingredients Ye Feng needed for pill refinement, irreplaceable in his concoctions.
At this point, the Breaking Mirror Pill was useless to Ye Feng. He needed to consume a different pill to rapidly break through his current cultivation level, and the pill he intended to refine was known as the Ascension Pill.
The core ingredients of the Ascension Pill were the Reincarnation Flower, Azure Dragon Root, and Sky Dawn Grass.
Ye Feng had given the three great ancestors three days, though he had not held much hope since the materials required were for a pill to aid a Legendary realm warrior’s breakthrough and were exceedingly rare.
So Ye Feng was not expecting them to actually find anything, but, unexpectedly, the results were rather good, and they had managed to find two necessary ingredients, the Azure Dragon Root and the Reincarnation Flower, which weren’t found even in Dragon Country’s royal treasury.
Upon hearing Ye Feng’s words, the three great ancestors breathed a sigh of relief. Initially, they thought that acquiring a few medicinal materials would be simple, facilitated by their wealth. However, they never expected that despite exhausting all their resources, connections, and networks, they would only manage to find two of the materials on Ye Feng’s list. Fortunately, it seemed that Ye Feng had no intention of holding them accountable.
"The Flame Envoy has arrived!" Just then, a voice announced at the entrance of the Zhao Household.
In an instant, the entire household was engulfed in an incredibly fierce heatwave that filled the Zhao Family hall. Hearing the arrival of the Flame Envoy, the three great ancestors were startled, "The Flame Envoy!"
The expressions on the great ancestors’ faces turned sour as they didn’t anticipate the Envoy’s arrival at that particular moment.
The great ancestors were well aware of the Flame Envoy; a mysterious power known as Luoying had emerged in R country just ten years ago and had approached the three noble families more than once, seeking their allegiance.
Luoying had persistently tried to recruit the three noble families into their ranks, only to be rejected each time.
The great ancestors were acutely aware of Luoying’s terror, with four leaders alone at the peak of the Legendary realm. However, as prominent and respected noble families in R country, they would not easily agree to join Luoying. Nevertheless, Luoying had not dared to simply eliminate the three noble families, considering Luoying had not yet fully risen to power.
Attracting too much attention from other forces would not be advantageous for Luoying.
"Let us go out," Ye Feng said indifferently, and the three great ancestors, frowning, wondered about the Flame Envoy’s purpose in coming here.
Soon, Ye Feng and the others arrived in the reception hall of the Zhao Family.
There, at the entrance to the hall, the Flame Envoy, surrounded by air of Conception, took bold steps toward the reception hall, walking in with head held high and eyes overflowing with pride...
