Lisha City was as bustling as ever. No one knew that something big was about to happen today.
Standing in the grand hall, Liu Changfeng took a deep breath, his expression grave. "Today is the most important day for our Liu Family. We must give it our all. It's do or die! Move out! We will annihilate the Ye Family and make the Liu Family the true hegemon of Lisha City."
The men below were all brimming with confidence. Only the old man from Yanyue City showed a cold smirk on his face. Perhaps he looked down on a small place like Lisha City.
And so, the Liu Family's experts all left the grand hall and headed for the Ye Mansion. This large-scale mobilization by the Liu Family left the people of Lisha City baffled.
"Why is the Liu Family mobilizing so many people? It looks like they're heading for the Ye Family's place. Don't tell me the two great families are going to war again?" someone on the street muttered.
"It's very likely. After the Ye Family took over the Qin Family's businesses, it had a huge impact on the Liu Family. They've basically created a monopoly on some goods. Maybe the Liu Family's Patriarch just can't tolerate it anymore!
Before, the three families were evenly matched, and no one could really affect the others. But now, the Ye Family stands alone at the top. Perhaps the Liu Family wants to annihilate the Ye Family and become the true masters of Lisha City," another person commented.
The Liu Family's Guardian Elders rushing towards the Ye Mansion was a movement that naturally couldn't escape the Ye Family's notice. A scout hurried back to the Ye Family to report this strange development to Ye Weitian.
When Ye Weitian heard the news, he was startled, and his expression turned grim. "So Liu Changfeng couldn't hold back after all. Since you want to destroy my Ye Family, let's see if you have what it takes!"
However, what worried Ye Weitian was that since taking over the Qin Family's businesses, many of the family's elites had been dispatched to manage them. There weren't many people he could gather right now. If the Liu Family brought their entire core strength, the Ye Family would truly be in a tough spot.
"Quickly, summon all family members to assemble in the grand hall! Also, send someone to notify Ye Tian. It seems a great battle is truly upon us," Ye Weitian said immediately.
Soon, more than a dozen people had arrived in the grand hall, with more rushing back to the Ye Mansion. Ye Tian and Ye Feifei also arrived at the hall shortly after.
"Father, something isn't right about the Liu Family's large-scale mobilization this time," Ye Feifei said. "They've been preparing for so long, and only now are they making a move against our Ye Family. There must be more to this."
"That's right. Liu Changfeng is an extremely cautious man. He wouldn't make a move without absolute certainty. The Qin Family's downfall is a prime example. He definitely wouldn't make the same mistake. He's come prepared this time.
You have to remember, when we defeated the Qin Family, our Ye Family was at its weakest. Many of our people were injured. He didn't choose to attack us then, but now. This is definitely not normal. Everyone needs to be careful," Ye Weitian said.
Ye Tian frowned slightly. "We'll face whatever comes our way. The Ye Family is not to be trifled with. Since the Liu Family has come prepared, we'll make sure they never leave."
Just then, a family disciple guarding the mansion gate burst into the hall. "Patriarch, it's bad! The Liu Family's Patriarch is right outside the gate with over twenty men! He demands you come out immediately, or he'll raze the Ye Mansion to the ground."
"They're here so quickly? Looks like he really couldn't wait. In that case, let's go out and see. This time, we'll show them that the Ye Family isn't a place they can just come and go as they please," Ye Weitian said.
With that, the group left the grand hall. Ye Tian and Ye Feifei walked at the back. "Feifei, this fight will be extremely dangerous. You'd best stay close to me, understand?"
"Don't worry, Brother Tian. I know what to do!" Ye Feifei gave a slight smile, but it was a bit forced. Ye Tian knew she was just trying to keep him from worrying.
When Ye Weitian led his people to the mansion gate, he saw that the few family disciples who had been on guard were already lying on the ground. It was clear they had been killed by the Liu Family's men. Their deaths were gruesome.
Rage flared in Ye Weitian's heart. "Liu Changfeng, you have some nerve, coming to my Ye Family to murder my people! Since you're here, don't even think about leaving! Our families have always minded our own business, but now you've done this. Do you really think the Liu Family already owns Lisha City?"
"HAHAHA! You're right, Ye Weitian. After today, our Liu Family *will* be the masters of Lisha City! And your Ye Family will disappear from Lisha City, just like the Qin Family. But there is one thing I have to thank you for.
You helped me eliminate the Qin Family and even managed their businesses so neatly. You've saved me a lot of trouble. Seeing as you've done such a good job, I can grant you the mercy of a complete corpse," Liu Changfeng laughed.
The killing intent radiating from Ye Weitian steadily intensified. He desperately wanted to charge forward and cut Liu Changfeng down.
But at that moment, an old man suddenly spoke up. "Bring out the boy with the Snake Centipede. This old man wants to see just how powerful his Snake Centipede is. Enough with the nonsense. In a moment, you will all die here."
Ye Weitian glanced at the old man who had spoken and was shocked. 'I can't see through his Power Realm at all!' This meant the man was at least a Four Veins expert. There was no expert that formidable in Lisha City.
The only explanation was that Liu Changfeng had specifically hired this expert. Realizing this, Ye Weitian instantly understood why it had taken them so long to make a move on the Ye Family. But a sense of dread also began to creep into his heart.
'The Ye Family might really be in danger this time,' he thought. 'I don't know if Ye Tian's Snake Centipede can fend off this old man. If it can't, then even if the Ye Family is wiped out, I have to make sure Ye Tian gets Feifei away from here. They can come back for revenge when they're stronger.'
Ye Tian and Ye Feifei came to Ye Weitian's side. Ye Tian also saw the old man. 'A guy who can directly challenge the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python is no pushover.' He, too, felt a pang of worry.
"Ye Lin, what's that old man's strength like? Are you confident you can beat him?" Ye Tian immediately asked the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python.
"Boss, his strength should be at the Four Veins Sixth Layer Realm, a bit higher than mine. I can't kill him, but he can't do anything to me either. However, once the fight starts, he'll definitely tie me up. Your safety will be a problem then," the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python replied.
"As long as he can't kill you, that's enough. Don't worry about anything else. It's not so easy to kill me, Ye Tian," Ye Tian said. More than a month had passed, and his War Dragon Heavenly Arm was usable again. Perhaps this time, he could finally display its true Attack Power.
Ye Tian then turned to the old man and said, "Old man, you talk big, wanting to fight my pet. A Power Realm of Four Veins Sixth Layer is indeed impressive, but my Ye Lin is no pushover either."
The old man glanced at Ye Tian and was inwardly startled. 'I can't believe this brat can see my Power Level with a single look!' This surprised him. "Brat, cut the crap. This old man can't wait any longer. I'm claiming that Snake Centipede's Inner Core today!"
As soon as the words fell, the old man's figure flickered and he shot swiftly towards Ye Tian, his hand reaching out to grab him...
