4 Conspiracy

Inside a secret realm, the group of Ye family disciples looked at the treasures in front of them delightedly.

"Brother Han, a treasure of this quality is rare even in the Ye family's treasury. We're in luck this time," a Ye family disciple said happily.

The one who was called Brother Han was the eldest son of Ye Xing's uncle. He had already reached the Saint realm.

His cultivation talent was at the peak of the Earth-rank, and he was considered a one-in-a-million cultivation genius even in the Ye family.

Ye Xing's uncle also had high hopes for Ye Han.

Although Ye Han was delighted, he calmly said, "Surround this place. Since this was discovered by us, it should belong to the Ye family."

An order was given.

The rest of the Ye family disciples surrounded the place.

The other cultivators in the secret realm all took a detour when they saw this.

Not to mention that Ye Han's cultivation had reached the Middle-stage of the Saint realm, the Ye family's name alone was enough to scare everyone away.

In the end, they didn't dare to offend a top family.

Ye Han was satisfied as it seemed that these people knew their places.

However, before Ye Han's delight could continue, an untimely voice was heard.

"Isn't the Ye family too overbearing? Does the secret realm belong to the Ye family?"

Ye Han frowned and looked in the direction of the voice.

A Middle-stage Saint realm cultivator sneered at Ye Han.

 Ye Han snorted.

"Shentu Kuang, although the secret realm is not opened by the Ye family, the stronger ones have the right to occupy this place. We are powerful, so we can naturally occupy this place!" Ye Han boldly said.

"What's wrong? You want to challenge the Ye family?" Ye Han's eyes revealed a trace of coldness.

All the members of the Ye family drew their swords.

He glared at Shentu Kuang like a tiger watching its prey.

Shentu Kuang was a disciple of the Shentu family, one of the top five families.

Furthermore, the Shentu family and the Ye family had been in conflict recently.

The sudden attack on them this time was probably premeditated.

However, at that moment, a voice came from behind Shentu Kuang.

"Overwhelming your opponents with numbers? Tsk. Tsk. Is this the Ye family's style?"

Ye Han's eyes slightly narrowed when he saw the newcomer.

"Yuwen Chengkong of the Yuwen family. It seems like the news of the two families forming an alliance is true," Ye Han said.

The newcomer was a disciple of the Yuwen family, Yuwen Chengkong. He was also at the Early-stage of the Saint realm.

"You'll find out in the future whether it's true or not," Yuwen Chengkong laughed.

Ye Han snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! I don't care if the alliance is real or not. If you have any ill thoughts about the Ye family, you would have to worry about being removed from the continent!

"Brother Yuwen, let's not waste time with him. Let's join forces and kill all the Ye family members here," Shen tu Kuang said.

Yuwen Chengkong nodded.

Instantly, the two of them unleashed their Saint realm cultivation energy and the aura crashed towards the Ye family.

When Ye Han saw the scene, he didn't have the slightest fear.

The two of them were only in the Early-stage of the Saint realm while he was in the Middle-stage.

The two of them couldn't do anything to him.

"How dare you attack me with your Early-stage Saint cultivation? You're all going to die here today!" Ye Han said.

Yuwen Chengkong grinned hideously, "Early-stage Saint? Ye Han, take a good look at what my cultivation level is!"

In an instant, Yuwen Chengkong's cultivation reached the Middle-stage of the Saint realm.

"Using a secret technique? Yuwen Chengkong, do you want to die?" Ye Han frowned and said. 

At the same time, Ye Han's heart sank. Although Yuwen Chengkong's cultivation would weaken as time passed, he could not guarantee the safety of the Ye family disciples.

After all, Shentu Kuang, who was in the Early-stage of the Saint realm, was still beside him.

"Men, listen up. Form a defensive formation and hold off Shentu Kuang. Wait for me to kill Yuwen Chengkong," Ye Han said.

Then, Ye Han pulled out his sword and flew toward Yuwen Chengkong.

In an instant, the power of the three Saints swept through the entire secret realm.

The violent aura made everyone in the secret realm not dare to move rashly.

After an unknown period of time, the Saint's aura finally disappeared.

In the deepest part of the secret realm, Yuwen Chengkong and Shentu Kuang had already been killed by Ye Han.

However, Ye Han was also seriously injured, and more than half of the Ye family disciples were lost.

…

The news of the conflict that broke out in the secret realm instantly spread across the continent.

The Yuwen family and the Shentu family had also received the news.

At the same time, an important guest arrived at the Yuwen family. 

The chief of the Shentu family, Shentu Kui.

"Chief Yuwen, the Ye family has killed the elites of our families. We can't just let this go," Shentu Kui said indifferently.

"As family chiefs, we have to seek an explanation from them," said Yuwen Huayu

Although the two family chiefs were discussing revenge for their disciples, there was no anger on their faces, which was strange.

It was as if Yuwen Chengkong and Shentu Kuang, who had been killed, did not belong to their families

"Chief Yuwen, the Ye family is very powerful, and their family chief, Ye Tu, is a Seventh-grade Pre-Emperor. Even if the two of us work together, we won't be able to win. Do you have any plans to deal with them?" Shentu Kui asked.

Yuwen Huayu smiled indifferently as his Sixth-grade Pre-Emperor cultivation erupted.

"I've broken through to the Sixth-grade Pre-Emperor realm by chance. If we work together, we can at least stop Ye Tu," said Yuwen Huayu.

"When the time comes, we can ask the patriarchs to come out," Yuwen Huayu said with a smile.

Shentu Kui's eyes brightened. "I didn't expect Brother Yuwen to have broken through to the Sixth-grade of the Pre-Emperor realm. I have to congratulate you."

"If you and I work together, we'll have no problem holding Ye Tu back. By then, you and I will invite our respective patriarchs to come out. The Ye family will definitely not be our match," Shentu Kui said with a gulp.

"When the Ye family is destroyed, we'll split the Ye family's resources evenly. As for the blood essence of the Grand Emperor, I'll take 60%, and you guys take 40%."

Shentu Kui nodded and said, "Not a problem. As long as we can destroy the Ye family, there will no longer be any five top families on the continent. There would be only us, the two strongest families!" 

After annexing the Ye family, he would wait until they recovered a little before attacking the other two families.

By then, the entire continent would already be dominated by the Yuwen family and the Shentu family.

…

In a secluded courtyard of the Ye family, Ye Xing lay lazily under the sun, listening to the system notifications that were getting stronger and stronger. He was extremely happy.

"Ding! While cultivating, you have obtained ten thousand years of True God realm cultivation."

At this moment, Ye Xing had already reached the Ninth-grade Grand Emperor realm. If he wanted to increase his realm, he would have to ascend to the legendary Upper Realm territory.

In fact, the cultivation base that he had accumulated now could no longer improve his cultivation.

Only by ascending to the Upper Realm would these cultivation bases be transformed into realms.

There were a total of nine cultivation realms on this continent.

They were divided into Qi and Blood, Human Origin, Earth Origin, Heaven Origin, True Origin, Saint, Grand Saint, Pre-Emperor, and Grand Emperor.

The Grand Emperor realm was the highest realm, and it was also the highest this world could achieve.

The only way to break through to a higher level was to ascend to the Upper Realm.
