CHAPTER 694: CHAPTER 694: GIVEN ENOUGH RESPECT!

In an instant, the Ye Family became the envy of countless families, with many high-ranking members wishing they could join the Ye Family and become even the most ordinary member under Ye Feng.

At the same time, under the guidance of Ye Family members, these families were led to their appointed seats.

Even if some families were not initially invited by the Ye Family, upon arrival, they were still assigned appropriate seating based on their status.

Everything within the banquet proceeded in an orderly fashion.

Moreover, almost all of the invited major families had arrived, leaving only the most significant ones yet to attend.

"The first-class Zhuang Family presents a spiritual treasure to congratulate the Ye Family on becoming the leader of the first-class families."

"The first-class Hao Family presents a spiritual treasure to congratulate the Ye Family."

"The first-class Yan Family presents a spiritual treasure to congratulate the Ye Family."

"The first-class He Family presents a spiritual treasure to congratulate the Ye Family."

At this moment, the remaining four first-class families arrived one after the other, not only bringing precious treasures but also having each family patriarch personally attend, giving the Ye Family a great deal of face.

"Oh crap! All the family patriarchs of the major first-class families have come? This lineup is quite formidable!"

"The Ye Family is truly in the limelight, it only takes a simple word to have these first-class family patriarchs come personally, bringing such valuable gifts."

"No wonder they are the leader of the first-class families! Truly imposing."

"I’m very curious, do you think the Shi Family and Zhang Family will also come? If both of them come, it will be spectacular."

...

Seeing that even these first-class families had their patriarchs come in person, the high-ranked members of other families were all stunned.

Once again, they were shocked by the Ye Family’s influence and terrifying power.

Even the patriarchs of the four first-class families were somewhat taken aback upon entering the Ye Family.

Originally, they thought the conditions and situation of the Ye Family wouldn’t be much different from their own, maybe just a bit better.

But upon entering the Ye Family, they realized the gap between them and the Ye Family could only be described as heaven and earth; the Ye Family was in the sky, while they were on the ground.

Indeed, just the terrifying spiritual energy alone was incomparable to their own families, being several times denser than theirs.

In their opinion, even the Shi Family and the Zhang Family might not have such a good cultivation environment, right?

They were very familiar with the Guo Family’s grounds, only slightly better than their own.

However, this seemingly inconspicuous place, in the hands of the Ye Family, could truly shine brightly enough to shock everyone.

Moreover, this was not what surprised them the most.

What surprised them the most was the realm of Ye Family members; from outside to inside, they didn’t see a single Ye Family member below the half-step Martial God level.

This meant that every member of the Ye Family possessed at least a half-step Martial God realm.

Such terrifying foundations, such powerful strength, instantly made their scalps tingle with awe.

Even with the patriarchs of the four first-class families present, Ye Feng did not come out to greet them personally, but rather let the elders of the family lead them to their seats.

"The top-tier Shi Family, with the patriarch personally bringing a hundred stocks of Thousand-Year Herbs, ten complete Ten-Thousand-Year Herbs, plus a second-grade spiritual artifact, wishes the Ye Family more success and ascension to the peak."

At this moment, it turned out that the Shi Family had come as well, and it was Patriarch Shi who personally attended.

"Oh crap! The Shi Family really came? And it’s the patriarch himself? Isn’t that a bit exaggerated?"

"This... this really shows a lot of respect for the Ye Family, right? After all, this is the patriarch of the top-tier Shi Family!"

"At this point, the Ye Family is truly set to rise prominently; with the incredible Shi Family on their side, who can stop their advance?"

"It seems like the sky is about to change and a new era is about to begin."

Hearing that the Shi Family patriarch had come, everyone present was taken aback, bewildered as they looked at the Shi Family down the mountain.

At the same time, they knew with the beginning of a new era, the combination of the Ye Family and the Shi Family was destined to dominate the entire Cultivation Realm; who dared oppose them?

"Wow! The Shi Family patriarch came personally?"

"Why do I feel like the Shi Family is trying to curry favor with the Ye Family?"

"Unbelievable, the Shi Family actually has such a good relationship with the Ye Family, did they know each other before?"

Even the patriarchs of the four first-class families couldn’t help but click their tongues in amazement.

Originally, they thought that by coming personally, they would surely steal the spotlight, being the highest-ranking individuals at the scene aside from Ye Feng.

But they never expected that the Shi Family patriarch was still waiting behind them, instantly overshadowing them.

"Welcome, Patriarch Shi." At the same time, Ye Feng personally came out to greet the arrival of the Shi Family.

"Are you Ye Feng? Quite a fine young man indeed, destined for a great future!" Looking at Ye Feng standing before him, Patriarch Shi couldn’t help but praise him, seemingly even more satisfied with Ye Feng.

"How can I compare to you?" Ye Feng replied humbly with an awkward smile.

"Hmm? The spiritual energy here is even denser? You seem to have some skill, transforming this place so quickly to be even stronger than my Shi Family?" Entering the range of the Spirit Gathering Array, Patriarch Shi exclaimed in more surprise.

"The Spirit Gathering Array is not bad," Ye Feng nodded, explaining.

"Moreover, your Ye Family members are amazing, the weakest being half-step Martial Gods?" Upon discovering the overall strength of the Ye Family members, Patriarch Shi had some existential doubts.

Originally, he thought the Shi Family had the strongest foundation.

But it seems now compared to the Ye Family, they simply can’t match up; although the Shi Family’s top fighting power might be stronger, at the half-step Martial God and quasi-Martial God levels, the Shi Family is far inferior to the Ye Family.

Indeed, now the Ye Family alone has over a thousand half-step Martial Gods, several hundred quasi-Martial Gods, and more than a hundred Divine Level and above experts.

This terrifying foundation is never to be underestimated by the Shi Family either.

Under Ye Feng’s reception, the Shi Family was arranged to sit at the forefront, on equal footing with Ye Feng.

"Today! Thank you all for coming to witness the rise of my Ye Family as the leader of the first-class families, I toast you all." As the banquet commenced, Ye Feng raised his wine glass, expressing his gratitude.

"Patriarch Ye, no need to be so polite!"

"The strength of the Ye Family is well-deserved."

"We all toast to Patriarch Ye."

As Ye Feng toasted, countless people stood up, vying to curry favor with him, wanting to hold onto Ye Feng’s influential position.

Indeed, from the current situation, the combination of the Ye Family and the Shi Family is invincible.

If they can ingratiate themselves with the Ye Family now, who would dare provoke them in the future?

Even the patriarchs of the four first-class families couldn’t help but start to curry favor with Ye Feng, wanting to establish good relations with the Ye Family.

For a time, the grand feast of the Ye Family proceeded in the orderly manner planned by Ye Feng.

It’s just uncertain if there would be anyone foolish enough to come and stir up trouble.

In general, by inviting all families from across the world, the Ye Family aimed to use its strength to subdue others.

Everyone present had the qualification to challenge the Ye Family, but for now, it seems this scene might not occur...
