Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 674
Chapter 674 Cause And Effect
Ye Feng was arranged to go back to rest. Tang Tian sent a large number of resources to Ye Feng. All kinds of healing pills, spirit stones, and resources were continuously given to Ye Feng to show his gratitude.
As for Wang Ziao and Tong Shen, they had also received tremendous treatment. They had even been accepted as disciples by a certain clan elder. From then on, their identities had leapt to the same position as core disciples.
Fire City returned to calm, but it wasn’t calm down. It was because the annual Hunter Divine Tournament was about to begin. The five families of Fire City were holding a joint tournament, with the outstanding members of the younger generation representing their families. Those who won the first place would naturally be able to share more resources.
Every year, the distribution of resources in Fire City was based on the Hunter God Tournament. Those who won the first place would receive 40% of Fire City’s resources, 30% of the second place, 20% of the third place, and 50% of the last two.
In recent years, the Lan Clan had always been ranked first. The Tang Clan had been ranked fourth last year. As for the Mo Clan, it had always been neither warm nor popular. Every year, it was ranked at the very bottom. It seemed that they did not value their rankings very much.
This was not the annual Hunter Divine Tournament right away. The youths of the various clans were eager to enter. Whoever did not want to enter the Desolate Realm would not only bring honor to the clan, but there were also countless treasures in the Desolate Realm. It would also be enough for him to cultivate for several years.
Moreover, winning the first place still gave them a chance to get the attention of their respective inner clans. In the year-end competition, they obtained quite a few points. Therefore, many youngsters from the clans had put in all their effort to enter the inner clan. It had always been the dream of countless disciples from the five great clans.
Only by entering the inner clan would one be able to enter the higher sky and enter the core region of Qinli Middle Continent. Only then would one have the chance to reach the peak of martial arts and even comprehend the shattered void. Wasn’t this what martial artists had been pursuing for countless years?
None of this had much to do with Ye Feng. He had obtained a large amount of resources, and his injuries recovered very quickly. In less than a day, Ye Feng’s injuries had all recovered by seventy-seven to eighty-eight percent.
They had also moved out from the small courtyard in the past. The clan had arranged for a single courtyard for Ye Feng. The area was more than ten times the size of the previous courtyard, which was enough for the size of the football field in his previous life. All of them belonged to Ye Feng.
Furthermore, the clan had also provided Ye Feng with logistical personnel, arranged for three maids to serve Ye Feng, and three servants to provide him with the command, even better than the treatment of core disciples.
Moreover, the clan’s resources were open to Ye Feng, causing the clan disciples to be extremely jealous. However, all of this was the clan head’s intention, and no one dared to complain.
Only a few people were still inciting, believing that the Patriarch was trying to make things special and wanted to impeach the Patriarch.
However, a piece of news quickly came from the Tang Clan. This year’s clan head sacrifice ceremony was advanced. After the Hunter God Tournament was over, it was the day of the Tang Clan’s five-year clan head election. Normally, it was arranged in the middle of the year, and only after the clan disciple competition ended did the clan head election take place.
This year happened to be another five years. It was the day of the selection of the Patriarch. Under Tang Tian’s arrangement, it was actually three months earlier.
They came to the courtyard and breathed in fresh air. All of these courtyards were equipped with Spirit Gathering Arrays. The Spiritual Qi was extremely dense. It was practically a cultivation holy land, no less than what Ye Feng had seen in the Taiyi Sect.
Ye Feng still controlled his realm at the second level of the Divine Martial Arts and didn’t want to reveal too much. The matter of the Reaper Organization in front of him hadn’t been resolved yet, so Ye Feng had to hide it.
“Young Master Feng, the Patriarch and a few elders have come to see you.”
Seeing that Ye Feng was cultivating, a maidservant who was in charge of Ye Feng’s daily life slowly arrived, her voice was very sweet.
“I see. Ling’er, let them go to the living room first. I’ll be there soon!”
This maidservant’s name was Ling’er. She was very clever. Ye Feng was covered in sweat. He couldn’t go to see the guests like this. He had to go back and wash up first.
“Yes, Young Master Feng!”
After Ling’er left, Ye Feng no longer cultivated. His body had almost recovered. He returned to his residence, washed his body, changed into a clean set of clothes, and walked towards the living room.
Before he could reach the living room, he could already hear a hearty smile.
“Disciple, participate in the clan master and the two elders!”
There were three middle-aged men sitting in the living room. They were the Tang Family’s Patriarch, Tang Liangyun, the Law Enforcement Hall’s Elder, and the black-clothed man in charge of the last mission. At this moment, Ye Feng already knew of his identity. He was also an elder in the Tang Family. His name was Tang Qiu, but he rarely appeared.
“There’s no need to be so courteous. Sit down!”
Seeing Ye Feng come, the three of them stopped talking and asked Ye Feng to quickly sit down.
Ye Feng cursed again, “This is my courtyard. Alright, when did I let them arrange for me?” After all, Ye Feng still sat down, but only at the bottom of the table.
“Patriarch and the two elders suddenly came to my humble abode. I wonder why!”
Ye Feng was still polite, he did not understand why they suddenly came.
“Can’t we just come and see you?”
Tang Liangyun smiled flirtatiously, unlike an elder of the Law Enforcement Hall.
“Ye Feng, how are your injuries?”
Tang Tian asked Ye Feng with concern.
“Thank you for your concern, Patriarch. The injuries on this disciple’s body have almost healed.”
Ye Feng answered truthfully. In the end, it was because the clan had provided enough resources that Ye Feng recovered so quickly.
“That’s good, it’s good that you’re fine!”
The few of them looked at each other, and the more they looked at Ye Feng, the more they liked him. Especially Tang Tian. Fortunately, he had helped Ye Feng during the confrontation between Ye Feng and Tang Ding. Otherwise, things would definitely not be able to be brought back safely, and his son would not fully recover.
“Patriarch, could it be that the purpose of your visit is to ask about my injuries?”
Ye Feng asked the three of them with a puzzled expression.
“Looks like you are the first one. The second one is to express your gratitude. As for the third one …”
Tang Tian paused for a moment before continuing.
“What’s the third?”
Ye Feng hated to say half of what he said the most.
“Let Elder Liang Yun speak.”
Tang Tian did not say anything, but asked Tang Liangyun to say it. Ye Feng only turned around and looked at Tang Liangyun.
“It’s a long story. It’ll probably take a long time to start from scratch.”
Tang Liangyun coughed dryly, took a sip of tea, and said slowly.
“Elder, please speak!”
Ye Feng had many doubts in his heart. For example, what he brought back this time, Ye Feng had never been clear about it.
“Three years ago, the son of the Patriarch, the most promising genius to inherit the Patriarch position, suddenly fell ill overnight. From then on, he fell into a deep slump, and his cultivation base was completely reduced, turning him into a cripple.”
Tang Liangyun said something that Ye Feng did not understand, but Ye Feng listened carefully. At this point, Tang Yun’s face revealed a trace of pain.
“Since then, the structure of the clan has changed. It has been divided into two factions. One faction is naturally the clan head and the other is the First Elder faction. There have been a lot of secret battles in the past few years.”
Tang Liangyun paused. Of course, First Elder was Tang Ding. The last time he killed Tang Hong, Ye Feng discovered that Tang Tian’s relationship with Tang Ding was not good.
“Tang Ding wants to fight for the position of Patriarch!”
Ye Feng directly broke it. To put it bluntly, it seemed that Tang Ding wanted to compete for the position of the Tang Family’s Fire City Clan Master. Ye Feng was not a three-year-old child. He had experienced such a thing in his teens. Didn’t the Ye Family also perform a battle for the position of Clan Master back then?
‘”That’s right. After learning that the son of the Patriarch was seriously injured and even lost all of his cultivation, Tang Ding began to secretly instigate some members of the clan to say that there was no successor to the Patriarch. Three years later, the Patriarch’s election should consider replacing him. Those who were inclined towards the Patriarch naturally supported him.”
Tang Liangyun nodded. According to Ye Feng’s words, Tang Ding really wanted the position of Tang Clan’s Clan Master.
“Then you haven’t found out why the son of the Patriarch suddenly suffered from a hidden illness.”
There was no need for Tang Liangyun to explain what had happened afterwards. Ye Feng could basically guess what had happened. Ye Feng was too familiar with this kind of family conflict.
“Yes, we did. In a few years, we found some clues. The son of the Patriarch was planted with an evil technique. He was cursed by someone before he suffered from a malignant illness.”
Tang Liangyun explained that the son of the Patriarch had been planted with evil techniques.
“The thing I brought back is to save this evil technique, right?”
Ye Feng had already guessed that the thing he had spent a thousand fortunes to bring back should be used to save the son of the Patriarch.
“That’s right. The things you brought back can indeed resolve the illness on the son of the Patriarch. Thanks to you, the son of the Patriarch will begin to recover. He will probably recover in another month.”
Tang Liangyun said happily.
“Can you tell me what that is now?”
Ye Feng wanted to know what he had brought back.
“Dragon Flame Fruit!”
A spirit fruit that could destroy all the evil and arrogant things in the world, regenerate limbs, and revive the dead.
It was similar to Ye Feng’s guess. After entering Dragon Flame Mountain, it was indeed the Dragon Flame Fruit.
“Didn’t the Dragon Flame Fruit say it was extinct? Why would it appear again?”
Ye Feng learned from Wang Ziao’s mouth that this Dragon Flame Fruit had long since disappeared. It had not appeared for many years. Why did it appear now?
“This is a coincidence. After three years of unremitting efforts, we finally found a Dragon Flame Fruit in the Dragon Flame Mountain. When we found it, the Dragon Flame Fruit still needed three years to ripen. It just so happens that you will not be long before you go.”
Tang Liangyun told Ye Feng everything he knew.
“The reason why you didn’t dare to send the clan disciples over is because you were afraid that there would be people from the Tang Cauldron among the clan disciples. That’s why you arranged for us to go, right?”
Ye Feng was getting clearer and clearer.
‘”That’s right, we old bones are a bit shaky. We will definitely attract the attention of that old fox Tang Ding. Many disciples of the clan are members of the Tang Ding. We are worried. We chose the last few of you. I didn’t expect that an insider would still appear.”
Tang Liangyun sighed.
The mysterious mission gradually surfaced. It was basically clear that they were heading to the Dragon Flame Mountain to bring back the Dragon Flame Fruit. They couldn’t allow outsiders to go there, nor could the Clan Head himself. Once the Clan Head went to the Dragon Flame Mountain, Tang Ding would definitely think of a way to stop him.
“This is the cause and effect of the mission. You already know it. I’m afraid that you might misunderstand me. We were helpless and chose you guys!”
Tang Liangyun said helplessly.
