Chapter 219: Chapter 217: Eldest Young Master Wen

BZZZZ...

Liang Yiyi, who was cultivating with the aid of the dense Power of Life, shuddered once more.

She discovered, to her disbelief, that she had broken through again.

She had reached the Warrior Second Heaven.

Both breakthroughs were due to the incredible density of Life Force here.

The entire courtyard was filled with a green mist that made one’s whole body feel comfortable and relaxed.

She glanced again in the direction of Jiang Chen’s room. As expected, all of the green mist was surging toward it.

’The more I learn about him, the less I understand him.’

By the next day, the dense Power of Life still hadn’t subsided.

And Liang Yiyi, taking advantage of it, broke through to the Warrior Third Heaven. Her cultivation speed was simply astonishing.

However, at this point, Liang Yiyi sensed that her fortuitous encounter had come to an end.

She stopped her cultivation and looked toward Jiang Chen’s room, her expression pensive.

A moment later...

BZZZZ...

The entire courtyard trembled.

The green mist vanished in an instant, seemingly absorbed by the plants in the courtyard.

And the plants in the courtyard now seemed to have grown a little taller, brimming with vigorous Life Force.

Everything returned to tranquility.

"It’s incredible. It’s like witnessing a miracle."

Liang Yiyi clenched her small fists, her beautiful face filled with shock.

In just two days, she had broken through two consecutive realms of her cultivation. This was an opportunity most people could never hope to obtain.

And because she was Jiang Chen’s maid, she had seized this chance.

Her cultivation had soared to the Warrior Third Heaven in one go.

Moreover, her foundation was stable, without any signs of instability.

But even though everything had stopped, Jiang Chen had yet to appear.

Liang Yiyi didn’t dare to disturb him.

Meanwhile, the Jiang Family’s recent and continuous growth had also attracted some attention.

「Outside the Jiang Family residence.」

A carefree and elegant young man stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the Jiang Family’s main gate.

"The Jiang Family, heh."

A wicked smile played on his lips as he glanced indifferently at the Jiang Family’s plaque.

Then, he turned to look at the middle-aged man following behind him.

The middle-aged man’s aura was restrained, but he was clearly an expert.

"Uncle Lin, what do you think of the Jiang Family now?"

The fact that the young man called him Uncle Lin suggested the middle-aged man held a significant status.

He looked at the Jiang Family residence with disdain.

"A bunch of chickens and dogs. Compared to our City Lord’s Mansion, they’re worse than dirt."

"The Jiang Family may have destroyed the Ximen and Bai Families, but even when the three great families were all present, they would have been nothing before our City Lord’s Mansion."

"Rest assured, Young Master. In Hanwu City, no one would dare disrespect you."

The man called Uncle Lin spoke with utter contempt.

After all, they were from the City Lord’s Mansion. In their eyes, the three great families of Hanwu City were indeed a joke.

The City Lord’s Mansion simply couldn’t be bothered to deal with them.

Otherwise, they would have wiped out all three families long ago.

The young man laughed. "That’s right. It used to be three great families hopping around, and now, only the Jiang Family is left."

"The Jiang Family is just a grasshopper after autumn—their days are numbered. With me, Wen Bufan, on the scene, they’ll probably be so scared they’ll piss and shit themselves."

"Haha! Let’s go. We’ll take a look inside."

Wen Bufan laughed heartily and walked toward the Jiang residence with his hands behind his back.

The older man, with his steady demeanor, followed behind.

Just then, the Jiang Clan members guarding the gate saw the two approaching.

They immediately moved to block their path.

One shouted, "Halt! Who dares to trespass in the Jiang Family’s residence?"

These guards were all experts of the Jiang Family, each with a cultivation of at least Warrior Fifth Heaven.

However, they saw that the young man trying to barge in was actually at the Warrior Ninth Heaven, which was extremely powerful.

And the middle-aged man behind him seemed even more unfathomable.

Of course, even so, they wouldn’t let the pair trespass on Jiang Family grounds.

"Bastards! How dare you block our Young Master’s way?"

The middle-aged man flew into a rage.

He took a sudden step forward.

BOOM!

A terrifying aura erupted from his body, pressing down on the Jiang Family guards.

"Ah...!"

The Jiang Family guards were instantly stunned.

"A Martial Master Ninth Heaven expert!"

"He’s actually a Martial Master Ninth Heaven expert!"

They were only at the Warrior Cultivation level; how could they possibly be a match for a Martial Master Ninth Heaven expert?

As the man’s aura pressed down on them,

THUMP...

the dozen or so guards collapsed to the ground, unable to withstand the pressure.

Cold sweat poured down their faces.

The middle-aged man was simply too powerful.

He had effortlessly intimidated the Jiang Family’s guards.

The man was full of contempt.

Just then, the Jiang Clan member Jiang Gan rushed out, having heard the commotion.

He saw the dozen or so Jiang Family guards collapsed on the ground.

His expression changed, and he was about to get angry.

But the moment he recognized who had acted, his anger instantly vanished.

He hurriedly said to the young man, "Eldest Young Master Wen! So it is you. Did our men offend you?"

"Let me apologize on their behalf."

Jiang Gan recognized the newcomer. It was Wen Bufan, the son of the City Lord from Hanwu City’s City Lord’s Mansion.

One had to understand that the City Lord’s Mansion controlled all the armed forces in Hanwu City.

Their power was immense, and their strength was not to be underestimated.

Forget the Jiang Family; even the Treasure Elephant Pavilion and the Alchemy Master Guild had to show some respect when the people from the City Lord’s Mansion were conducting business.

What’s more, the City Lord’s Mansion had ties to the Fire Sparrow Kingdom through marriage, a connection that was anything but trivial. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

The Jiang Family absolutely did not dare to provoke them.

Even though the Jiang Family was much stronger now, they were still a far cry from the Fire Sparrow Kingdom.

Wen Bufan was Wen Quan’s son.

His only son, at that.

He was known for being domineering and arrogant, so Jiang Gan naturally recognized him.

It was a blessing if Wen Bufan didn’t come looking for trouble; for the Jiang Family to proactively provoke him would be unwise.

The true strength of the City Lord’s Mansion was unfathomable.

At the same time, Jiang Gan cast a wary glance at the middle-aged man.

He also cupped his fists slightly. "Greetings, Mr. Lin."

This Mr. Lin’s name was Lin Hai.

He was one of the most formidable experts in the City Lord’s Mansion.

His reputation in Hanwu City was immense.

He was usually tasked with protecting Wen Bufan.

Lin Hai, however, was utterly dismissive of Jiang Gan.

He said indifferently, "Your Jiang Family people are far too rude."

"To dare and block our Young Master’s path... The fact that I didn’t kill them is already a show of mercy."

Jiang Gan nodded repeatedly.

He immediately waved to the Jiang Clan members who were still sitting on the ground in a cold sweat. "Quick, get up and apologize to Young Master Wen."

Only then did those Jiang Clan members realize who their visitors were.

They scrambled to their feet and repeatedly apologized to Wen Bufan.

"Young Master Wen, we didn’t know your identity just now. We are truly sorry."

Every one of them felt uneasy. They did not want to provoke people from the City Lord’s Mansion.

Even with the Jiang Family’s current strength, it was out of the question.

Everyone knew that they absolutely could not bring trouble upon the Jiang Family.

But Wen Bufan just waved his hand. "Enough. They’re just a few guards. I, this Young Master, will not trouble myself over your ignorance."

Seeing this, Jiang Gan heaved a heavy sigh of relief.

Thankfully, this young master hadn’t flown into a rage.

He quickly said to Wen Bufan, "Eldest Young Master Wen, please, come in. This way, please."

With his hands behind his back, Wen Bufan strode inside, his head held high and his chest puffed out.

"Mr. Lin..."

Jiang Gan offered a placating smile to Lin Hai as well.

But Lin Hai just flicked his sleeve impatiently.

"Alright, enough nonsense. Go inform your Patriarch to come and see our Young Master."
