The kings were naturally no match for Ye Jingyun, who directly crippled them and threw them outside. No matter how arrogant and domineering these people were, Ye Jingyun’s response was extremely simple, just a single slap directly across their faces.
Xiang Fu and the others found it hard to believe that Ye Jingyun was this strong. When the kings arrived, they felt this was already boundlessly powerful, able to kill them without a trace with a mere wave of the hand. But they never expected that such a person was actually slapped away by Ye Jingyun.
Afterwards, several more groups of people came, but every single time they were slapped away by Ye Jingyun. In the end, the villagers were no longer afraid of the cultivators sent from Seven Emperor Mountain. They would give them a faint glance and then go back to doing their own things.
This once left the cultivators who had come to flatten Xiang Family Village looking at each other in dismay, while simultaneously flying into a rage. Insulted by this contempt, they prepared to use the blood of these people to vent their anger, but very quickly, they were kicked away by a pair of slender, captivating legs.
Ye Jingyun’s actions alarmed Seven Emperor Mountain. By the end, Seven Emperor Mountain knew that Xiang Family Village had a top tier emperor sitting in residence. This caused Seven Emperor Mountain to stop sending cultivators over.
The silence from Seven Emperor Mountain instead made Ye Chu somewhat worried. He reminded Ye Jingyun to be careful and not to act rashly.
Seven Emperor Mountain had emperors. If an emperor made a move, Ye Jingyun could not possibly be his opponent. Unless Ye Jingyun used the clan’s sharp sword, but using such a thing on an emperor would be too wasteful, especially since he was currently here.
Xiang Fu happened to overhear Ye Chu reminding Ye Jingyun. A look of worry appeared on his face, and he could not help but say from the side, “Young Master Ye Chu, why don’t you take Xiang Chunan and the others to retreat?”
“The village chief knows Chunan’s stubborn temper. As long as you old people do not leave, it is impossible for him to leave,” Ye Chu said to Xiang Fu. “Why must the village chief stubbornly defend this place? Although we can protect you for a period of time, we will eventually have to leave. When we leave and they come again, then…”
“This old man also knows that, but…” After speaking, Xiang Fu could not help but look in the direction of Xia Mountain. After thinking for a moment, he finally said, “Does Young Master Ye Chu have any interest in hearing a story?”
“If the village chief is willing to tell it, I am naturally happy to listen.” Ye Chu sat down on a nearby stone, his hand naturally resting on Ye Jingyun’s long leg. This caused Ye Jingyun, who was sitting on the bluestone, to pinch him hard and fiercely swat Ye Chu’s hand away.
Xiang Fu gritted his teeth, as if summoning infinite courage. “I wonder if the young master has heard of the Wu Clan?”
“The Wu Clan!” Ye Jingyun suddenly jumped up from the side. She opened her clear eyes wide and stared at Xiang Fu. The shock in her heart was imaginable. How could this magical race, which should have disappeared in the long river of history, still exist in the world?
Ye Chu did not know why Ye Jingyun was so excited, but he also could not help but turn his gaze towards Xiang Fu. Ye Chu had also heard of the Wu Clan in his past life, but that was a race from the mythological era. What left the deepest impression on Ye Chu was naturally the legend of Zhurong and Gonggong crashing through the sky.
But that was just a myth. Who would have thought that at this moment, someone would actually tell him that the Wu Clan truly existed in the world. The Wu Clan, in the legends of his past life, could be considered a divine race.
Hou Yi shooting the suns, Kuafu chasing the sun!
These were myths well known to the people of his past life, and now Xiang Fu was telling him that they were of the same race as these mythological figures. Ye Chu stared at Xiang Fu, wondering if the Wu Clan in this world was the same as the Wu Clan of his past life?
Ye Chu shook his head vigorously, thinking that the two were probably just the same in name. The mythological race from his past life was certainly not this weak.
“What is wrong?” Seeing Ye Chu shaking his head like a fool, Ye Jingyun looked at him in confusion.
“Nothing!” Ye Chu looked at Ye Jingyun and said, “What kind of race is the Wu Clan, to make you so surprised?”
Ye Jingyun tucked her legs away, her knees bent in a beautiful arc, fair and slender, tempting one to trace them to their very end, yet concealed by her skirt, leaving Ye Chu feeling somewhat regretful.
“The origins of the Wu Clan are mysterious. No one knows when they first appeared on this land. There were not many Wu Clan members either. Even at their most prosperous, there were less than a thousand people. Compared to the population of other great clans, this could almost be ignored. When the Wu Clan first appeared on the continent, the world indeed did not pay them any mind. Back then, tens of thousands of clans stood like a forest, and the strong were as common as dogs. To outsiders, such a small clan would definitely be destroyed in the struggle for survival.”
“Yet no one expected that this race of less than a thousand people would change the landscape of an entire region. At that time, there was a great clan, the Holy Clan of the Mortal Dust Domain. Although their clan had never produced a Supreme, they had two absolute powerhouses sitting in residence. A prince of their clan took a fancy to a woman of the Wu Clan and wanted to forcefully take her away. To the public at the time, the Wu Clan had no chance of resisting at all. Some even thought the Wu Clan was lucky, that such a small clan could actually climb into the good graces of a Holy Clan.”
“Everyone thought that the woman was going to become the exclusive plaything of the Holy Clan’s prince. But no one could have imagined that the subsequent development could be described as earth shattering and taking a sudden turn. The woman resisted, and what was most unbelievable was that this seemingly weak woman of the Wu Clan actually used only a single move to behead this prince, who was hailed as a potential contender on the path to the Supreme.”
“This result shocked the world. When the news spread, everyone thought it was false information. It was not until the Holy Clan ordered the extermination of the Wu Clan that everyone completely believed it.”
“A Holy Clan was going to exterminate a Wu Clan of less than a thousand people. The result of this battle was almost unthinkable. But this time, the entire army that went to surround and kill the Wu Clan perished.”
“In that prosperous era, an age when emperors walked the earth in droves, the army dispatched by the Holy Clan was completely annihilated. Even though there were constant wars at that time, this also attracted the gaze of the tens of thousands of clans.”
“The prince was killed, and the clan’s army was completely wiped out. This thoroughly enraged the Holy Clan. The Holy Clan of that time was far beyond what it is now. It was truly an era with powerhouses who could shake the heavens and move the earth. They dispatched dozens of strong men who could move mountains and overturn seas with a wave of their hands, preparing to wipe out this small race in one fell swoop.”
“The result shocked the world once again. This time, the men were completely annihilated once more. The world was in an uproar over this. No one expected this small race to have such combat power. At this point, the Holy Clan realised the terror of this race. But it was already too late for them to stop. The Wu Clan seemed to have been enraged. This small race actually killed their way up to the Holy Land!”
“A race of less than a thousand people, killing their way up to a Holy Clan that had been entrenched in the Mortal Dust Domain for unknown years. This was simply unimaginable. Because, apart from the Supremes, no one dared to do it easily. But the Wu Clan not only did it, and most importantly, the result made the world…”
Sorry, I did not update again yesterday. But my heart is truly quite sad, because this book will probably have to change its title. Ever since this book came out, although the popularity is not bad, most people are reading pirated versions. Writing this book has been very painful. The rampant piracy is really going to leave me without enough food or drink. Maybe one day, when you see a man coming out to entertain clients, it will be the once pure, innocent, and youthful boy that I am! If that day really comes, I beg everyone to give a few more tips. Do not adopt the mentality of reading pirated versions now, just taking without paying the fee. You need to be a well mannered good man, a good woman!
