C26 Great pressure

When Ye Yang and his father returned from the mayor Palace, they did not speak for the entire journey, so the atmosphere was a little stifling. Ye Yang thought of the scene where his father turned pale when he saw the Lunar Shadow Bow.

But Ye Lingtian was silent for a long time and did not say anything. After that, Li Chengfeng even gifted him a treasure blade, which Ye Lingtian did not reject, but directly accepted.

When they got home, it was already night. After a hasty dinner, Ye Lingtian called Ye Yang into his study, and said sincerely, "Li Chengfeng is a hero of our generation, and is extremely loyal to his friends. I rarely submit to anyone, but Li Chengfeng is one of those I admire most."

Ye Yang quietly listened, and did not interrupt, because he knew his father would probably tell him something.

"The reason why I admire him is not because of his martial skills and cultivation. Rather, it is because of his loyalty. As such, I am inferior to him." Saying this, he sighed.

“More than two decades ago, Li Chengfeng broke through the martial king realm at the age of thirty, and became the youngest expert of King Level of the Tianwu Empire. He back then could be considered to be high-spirited, vigorous and unmatched.”

"Later, he married a silver-haired lady of mysterious origins. She was beautiful, and her cultivation is even higher than that of Li Chengfeng back then. The two of them roamed the martial arts world together, making countless people envy them."

"However, God does not seem to like perfect things existing in the human world. The two were attacked by an expert of Emperor Level from Uda Empire during a relic expedition, which resulted in them being heavily injured. However, that martial emperor was also counterattacked by the two, losing half his life, and escaped back to Uda Empire."

"As for that silver-haired woman, in order to protect Li Chengfeng, she used her body to block a full-powered strike from the martial emperor. She died not long after she returned." Ye Lingtian sighed.

“After that, Li Chengfeng joined the army. At that time, Tianwu Empire and Uda Empire were mortal enemies. Li Chengfeng took the lead in every battle, and conquered cities and territories, showing great bravery.”

"In just a few years, seven cities were conquered consecutively without leaving behind a soldier surrendered, causing Uda Empire to experience immense suffering. In the end, Uda Empire requested mediation and the two sides signed a truce. Furthermore, Uda Empire handed over that heavily-injured expert of Emperor Level. Up to this point, the matter could finally be considered to have eased."

"After that, Li Chengfeng personally chopped off that Emperor-Level expert’s head to pay respects to his wife. He refused the title emperor granted to him, but stayed in the Eight Desolations City until now, because his wife was buried in Phoenix Perching Ridge outside the Eight Desolations City."

Hearing Ye Lingtian's introduction, Ye Yang became even more respectful towards Li Chengfeng. For his beauty, he raged, and resulted in corpses floated for a hundred thousand miles.

This sense of remembering kindness and hatred made Ye Yang feel like his blood was boiling. This was the life that he wanted.

Ignoring the excited Ye Yang, Ye Lingtian said in a low voice, "His wife only used one weapon in her life—— a bow."

"Eh?" Ye Yang was shocked. "Could it be that bow that Uncle Li gave me in the day?"

"That's right. That was the Lunar Shadow Divine Bow. It made ghosts weep and gods stun. Back then, it had earned itself such a great reputation that caused countless martial cultivators to tremble in fear." Ye Lingtian said in a somewhat serious tone.

"How can Uncle Li give me such a precious item? Dad, you clearly know the origins of this bow, but why didn't you remind me at that time?" Ye Yang immediately jumped up. If Ye Yang had known that bow was the legacy of Li Chengfeng’s wife, he wouldn’t have received it at any rate.

He gestured for Ye Yang to sit down and slowly said, "Who is Li Chengfeng. He must have his reasons, otherwise why would he give you such a precious bow?"

"Having heard your words, I remembered. Uncle Li solemnly told me to bring it back to its hometown, but he didn't say anything else." Ye Yang said after thinking for a while.

"Given that he entrusted you with this mission, you should complete it well. Li Chengfeng's wife had a mysterious background, and I guess she didn’t belong to our domain.

You must work hard to cultivate now, and there will be a day when you will be able to solve this mystery. Don't think too much to mess up your own natureand, affect your own Tao Heart. "Ye Lingtian said.

"Alright, I understand, father. I will work hard to cultivate. It is not only for my own." Ye Yang said as he looked Ye Lingtian in the eye.

"Good child. Go rest. Don't give yourself too much pressure." Ye Lingtian said with a gratified smile.

Backing in his own room, Ye Yang closed all the doors and windows. After checking them a few times, he finally looked at the ring on his hand.

It was a rare Dimensional Ring with a space covering about 33 cubic meters within. It could store a large amount of things and was very convenient to carry, so it was a quality item that high level cultivators must have.

However, this Dimensional Ring is not cheap. Most martial cultivators below the warrior-level cannot afford it, and a normal Dimensional Ring's storage space is around 3.3 cubic meters.

Yet Ye Yang's one had actually reached 33 cubic meters. Even in terms of ordinary Master-Level martial cultivators, only a few of them can possess such a ring.

A thread of Genuine Qi entered the ring, and the situation inside was clearly reflected in Ye Yang's mind. With a move of his mind, a multicolored longbow appeared in his hand.

Ye Yang didn’t observe this bow carefully in the day, only now did he have the chance to observe it. The bow was about 1.42 meter long, and emitted a faint fragrance, causing people to feel extremely comfortable.

Its material was neither gold nor iron, with faint veined patterns on it. Ye Yang observed it for a while and was surprised to realize that the bow was actually made of a type of wood.

However, its toughness was much stronger than any metal. Since he came to this world, this was the second time that Ye Yang had overturned his physical knowledge.

The bowstring, on the other hand, was made up of hundreds of tiny threads that were almost impossible to see with the naked eyes.

Ye Yang reached out to pull the bowstring but what surprised him was that even using all his strength, he was still unable to pull the bow apart.

He put the Lunar Shadow Bow into the ring. “It isn’t the proper time to study it. If I have cultivated enough strength, then that will be the proper time.”

The Lunar Shadow Bow was too eye-catching. It did not suit Ye Yang's personality to be so low-key. Ye Yang was prepared to take the Lunar Shadow Bow as one of his trump cards and only as a last resort would he use it.

“What a joke! With this bow in hand, who knew how many people would stare at me. I’m not afraid of thieves, but I’m afraid of thieves’ intention. There is no need to cause so much trouble for myself.”

Ye Yang reached out and took the Gale Steps in his hand. It was used for both offense and escape, and was very practical. He carefully studied its contents.

Gale Steps was a type of footwork, aiming at increasing the movement speed of martial cultivators. It poured the Genuine Qi into the martial cultivator’s legs and, according to the specific movement method to help his speed be raised to an unimaginable height.

Two hours later, Ye Yang slowly recovered from his cultivation state and muttered, "It's that simple without difficulties at all. Since there's still some time before dawn, I might as well learn the Heart Locking Palm as well."

In the early morning of the second day, it had just dawned. Ye Yang gently pushed open the door and arrived at the training ground. He was surprised to find that the young men of the Ye Family were training there. There were even some people having sweat on their foreheads, showing that they had been training for a long time.

A while back, Ye Family had executed a large number of rebellions, and a large amount of resources that had been embezzled by the Great Elders were confiscated. Therefore, the Ye Family was unprecedentedly wealthy.

It would be a long time before they were worried about resources, so the Ye Family was now even more vigorous than before.

When Ye Yang arrived at the center of the training ground, the previously lively training ground immediately quieted down.

"Ye Yang!" A surprised voice sounded, and a beautiful figure passed through the crowd and arrived in front of him.

"Haha, so it's Cousin Qingxuan. Two days gone, you have become even more radiant than before!" Ye Yang said as he giggled.

"Humph, come on. You just hided since cut the smart figure. Honestly speaking, are you afraid of being disturbed?" Ye Qingxuan's beautiful face turned red a little, yet she knew Ye Yang's character, so she totally ignored his flattering words, but directly criticized him.

"That's right. Don't think that just saying a few good words can fool us. After all, we've suffered together. You're going too far!" A round-faced girl said angrily.

Ye Yang had a deep impression of this girl. She was the one who fended against the Ye Feng-led rebellious disciples last time with Ye Qingxuan. But for Ye Yang’s help, she may lose her life.

"I still remember that someone has said he would treat us to have big dinners for a year. In the end, he became a great hero and totally forgot about us."

Ye Yang immediately felt nervous. The sisters were too sharp. With just a few words, they made Ye Yang get into mess and don’t know what should he do.

"Actually, I didn't hide at all, but because I was heavily injured. Yesterday, I just recuperated, but I needed to pay a visit to the Lord Mayor. So you see, I was just about to find you guys this early morning. "Ye Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. “You push me to tell lie. I’m actually a good boy.”

"Really?" The girls were skeptical.

"Of course it's true! It's definitely more real than real gold!" Ye Yang said hurriedly.

"Alright, we trust you. By the way, are you here to train with us?" Ye Qingxuan asked. After all, she hadn't seen Ye Yang appear in the training ground for almost ten years, so she didn’t whether he could use these facilities or not.

"I just wanted to greet you, and also come here to test my strength." Ye Yang said without thinking.

Just as he said that, Ye Yang wanted to slap his own mouth. His brain was messed up by those girls and, cannot say proper words.

Sure enough, after hearing Ye Yang's words, these girls chattered on, “Great, great. I really want to know how strong Ye Yang is. You were so brave that day!”

Gosh! Ye Yang really did not want his strength to be revealed to everyone. After all, this was a type of self-protection measure. In this world, if the enemy understood your strength, you would not be far from death.

However, it was difficult for Ye Yang to back down today, because his performance on that day was too eye-catching. He not merely killed the warrior-level martial cultivator who had reached the Eight Empyrean, but also born a general-level strike by the skin of his teeth. Hence, it was even hard for him to hide his actual strength.

Just as Ye Yang was at a loss as to how to deal with this situation, a figure came before him and respectfully greeted, "Young Patriarch!"

Ye Yang looked up and saw it was actually Ye Chong, the disciple of the Ye Family who had defeated easily in the cafeteria and was locked in the back mountain.

The current Ye Chong was no longer as domineering as he was before. Currently, the Great Elders had executed, and all of their henchmen were wiped out, but the young disciples were not that implicated. But anyway, no one dare to look down on Ye Yang anymore.

"I was young and ignorant before, so I offended the Young Patriarch. Please forgive me." Ye Chong spoke timidly.

Ye Yang laughed in his heart, “This brat was a scoundrel. He would never say such courteous words himself.”

He deliberately frowned and said, "You should still be short on some words, right?"

"Impossible. There are four sentences in total. I've already recited them for three days. They shouldn’t be wrong." Ye Chong replied without thinking.

Ye Chong's words were met with laughter. Although Ye Chong felt awkward, he knew that Ye Yang did not hate him.

Ye Yang said to these Ye Family disciples who were further away from him, "You guys come over too."

Those disciples were all once Ye Feng's followers, so they didn't have a good relationship with Ye Yang. They feared him, so when Ye Yang was coming, they intentionally avoid him.

Now that Ye Yang called out to them, they could only muster up their courage and walk forward, and cupped their fists to Ye Yang.

"Young Patriarch!"

"What happened in the past has already past. We are all disciples of Ye Family, so we should be constantly thinking about how to strengthen our Ye Family. Don’t affect the development of our family because of what happened in the past. On the contrary, we should do our utmost to cultivate and become the strongest generation in the history of our family!"

"Well said!" A vigorous voice sounded.
