CHAPTER 65: CHAPTER 65 WANT BOTH THE BEAUTY AND THE SWORD

The backyard of the Shen Family.

A figure in white robes passed through the tightly closed doors and mysteriously appeared in the ancestral shrine.

The light in the shrine was dim. Rows of dark red Spirit Plaques stood there; some carried an ancient, weathered aura, while others were as new as ever.

Ye Yun’s gaze moved slowly.

Finally, in a dark corner, he found a Spirit Plaque that carried a profound sense of age.

"Spirit Plaque of Ancestor Chang Yuchun!"

Ye Yun silently walked over and lit a stick of incense.

"My dear friend, I didn’t expect that after one hundred thousand years, I could come to the Chang Family to see you..." Ye Yun said softly, his eyes filled with nostalgia.

「One hundred thousand years ago.」

Ye Yun took the position of Dragon God Sect Sect Master at the age of eighteen. At that time, Chang Yuchun was a good friend he had met when he was fifteen.

Coming from the Dragon God Sect, with superior talent, unparalleled combat power, and an unrestrained and unconventional demeanor, Ye Yun was not only renowned across the Cangnan Continent but was also the notorious bully of that era. And Chang Yuchun was one of his followers.

In those days, this fellow was cultivating the Yuan Yang Domineering Body Divine Skill, and his physical body was exceptionally strong. He was one of Ye Yun’s most capable followers back then.

When Chang Yuchun met Ye Yun, he was also considered a young prodigy and was already a great cultivator of the Destiny Realm. Later, Ye Yun helped him deduce the Yuan Yang Domineering Body Technique, which helped him successfully break through to the Life and Death Realm. As for whether he ultimately broke through from the Life and Death Realm to the Eternal Realm, Ye Yun didn’t know.

A hundred thousand years... the seas have changed into mulberry fields.

I also didn’t expect that in the remote Xuan Yang County of the Shenfeng Dynasty, I would encounter the descendants of the Chang Family. After all, the Chang Family of the past lived in the most prosperous central area of the Cangnan Continent.

However, for a family to have such a long lineage that it still persists after one hundred thousand years is indeed remarkable.

Ye Yun looked at the dark red Spirit Plaque and gently brushed off the dust that had gathered on it.

At this moment, with deep affection in his gaze, he whispered, "Brother, I’ll take care of your descendants today!"

Having said that, Ye Yun returned to his calm. He stood quietly in the dark shadows, adorned in snow-white robes.

The booming roar that echoed in the sky over Chang Mansion like a clap of thunder also reached Ye Yun’s ears.

Ye Yun gave a faint smile. When he had reached the outskirts of Xuan Yang County, he had already sensed the crisis facing Chang Mansion.

The Chang Family’s ancestral Cultivation Technique, the Yuan Yang Domineering Body Technique, was a peerless skill that led directly to the Life and Death Realm. But for this technique to be successfully cultivated, one must possess a large amount of Yuan Yang Stones. Yet, observing the current state of the Chang Family, they couldn’t produce even a single Yuan Yang Stone.

This indicated that for many generations, no one in the Chang Family had successfully cultivated the Yuan Yang Domineering Body Technique.

However, now that I am here, I will naturally help resolve this crisis facing the Chang Family and also deal with the problem of their lack of cultivation resources. All this isn’t difficult for me at all.

Ye Yun looked up lightly, gazing towards a certain direction.

「At this time, in the main hall of the Chang Mansion.」

Upon hearing that roar, Chang Feng’s face grew even paler. The Shen Family has arrived after all.

"Father, what is going on?" Chang Lu Die was trembling with apprehension.

The auras descending from the sky belonged to Shapers. When did our Chang Family provoke a Shaper?

In Xuan Yang County, the Chang Family was just a second-rate noble family. The highest cultivation base belonged to her father, Chang Feng, at the peak of the Tenth Layer of the Origin Sea Realm. They were simply no match for Shapers. Moreover, the Chang Family had always been low-key, never causing trouble.

Chang Feng stood up, gathered his spirits, looked at Chang Lu Die, and said with a bitter smile, "These are people from the Shen Family. They learned from somewhere that our Chang Family possesses the Yuan Yang Domineering Body Technique, and they want to obtain it."

Chang Lu Die, extremely angry, glared and said loudly, "This is our family’s ancestral technique! It has been passed down for one hundred thousand years! It absolutely can’t be leaked!"

"My daughter, you’re right! Even if we die, we can’t let down the generations of our ancestors who have defended it!" Chang Feng said determinedly.

Although descendants of the Chang Family who mastered the Yuan Yang Domineering Body Technique were rare in later generations, they had never allowed the technique to fall into outside hands in these one hundred thousand years. Thus, Chang Feng had long been prepared to fight to the death.

He strode into the courtyard and saw six Shapers hovering in mid-air.

"Shen Wei, does my little Chang Family really warrant your Shen Family sending all six of your Shapers?" Chang Feng shouted, looking at the six powerful figures without a trace of fear.

At this moment, Chang Lu Die also stood beside her father.

Some other Chang Clan Members had also gathered in the courtyard from all directions, each with a face full of grief and indignation.

Su Wanyi also followed Chang Lu Die out. Her eyes, half-lidded, quickly surveyed the air.

There were six Shapers in total. Two were First Level Shaping God Realm Experts. One was a Second Level Shaping God Realm Expert. Two were Third Level Shaping God Realm Experts. The robust middle-aged man in the middle had already reached the Fourth Level of the Shaping God Realm.

Su Wanyi suddenly seemed thoughtful. She finally understood the profound meaning behind the Ancestor wanting her to stay here. The Chang Family’s crisis... The Ancestor needed her to take action and resolve it. Thinking of the upcoming battle with Shaping God Realm Experts, Su Wanyi’s delicate body trembled slightly, her heart filled with excitement.

「Mid-air.」

Shen Wei, with his hands behind his back, looked down at the frail people of the Chang Family and laughed coldly, "Originally, we gave you a three-day limit because we didn’t want to bully the small and weak Chang Family. Now that three days have passed, if your Chang Family still doesn’t hand over the Cultivation Technique, then don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

"Shen Wei, keep dreaming! Even if we die, even if our Chang Family is exterminated, we will never hand over our ancestral Cultivation Technique!" Chang Feng declared, his hands behind his back, his face taut, ready to meet death head-on.

"My dad is right! Even if our Chang Family fights to the last person, we will absolutely not hand over our ancestral Cultivation Technique!" Chang Lu Die also drew her sword, its tip pointing at Shen Wei, her teeth clenched.

She spoke firmly and decisively, but Chang Lu Die was young, after all. Faced with the pressure from the Shapers, her body couldn’t help trembling.

The Shen Family was a colossal power in Xuan Yang County, one that no one ever dared to provoke. The Shen Family also had backing; disciples of the family had once entered the Yu Mo Sect. There were three major powers in the Shenfeng Dynasty, all at the level of great Sects, and the Yu Mo Sect was one of them. The Shen Family was powerful and had strong support. It could be said that all the families of Xuan Yang County combined would not dare to provoke the Shen Family.

With the arrival of even one Shaper, the entire Chang Family was destined to be reduced to ashes.

"You little girl, you must be Chang Feng’s precious daughter, right? It’s good you’re back. Your Chang Family can now reunite underground!" Shen Wei sneered.

A middle-aged Cultivator beside him, a First Level Shaping God Realm Expert, suddenly thrust out his hand, grasping downwards.

In mid-air, a Mana Hand suddenly appeared, howling as it shot towards them.

A flash of blood-red light streaked past.

SMACK!

The Mana Hand was instantly shattered.

This stunned the six experts from the Shen Family.

In the Chang Family’s square, a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in a golden Robe, holding a blood-red Longsword, was staring coldly up at the sky.

"You’re an unfamiliar face, little girl. Where did you pop out from? And the Swordsmanship you’re using—it’s not the Chang Family’s Swordsmanship either!" Shen Wei’s gaze fixed intently on Su Wanyi, giving her an appraising look from head to toe, a hint of greed appearing in his eyes.

This young woman was beautiful and vibrant, her skills extraordinary, and the Longsword in her hand was of Heavenly Quality. He wanted the sword. And he wanted the beauty too.
