Chapter 311

Chapter 311: Chapter 310 The Ling family, Ling Yuxun’s home, has kept her under house arrest in recent days. Her father, Ling Yue, forbade Ling Yuxun from stepping out of the Ling family home, threatening to disown her if she did. He also assigned bodyguards to watch over her, knowing that Ye Tianchen was about to clash with the young master of Longteng and had also offended the Xuanyuan and Ouyang families; Ye Tianchen faced a situation that was most certainly deadly.

Ling Yue acted out of concern for his own family, especially his daughter’s safety, so he kept Ling Yuxun confined at home while keeping an eye on Ye Tianchen. He was not optimistic about this young man’s prospects, but he was curious to see how Ye Tianchen would handle the situation. Even in failure, Ye Tianchen could be proud, for scarcely anyone else in China would dare to offend these powerful forces so boldly and courageously.

At that moment, Ling Yuxun wanted to bring her father a cup of coffee. Even though her father had placed her under house arrest, he was still her father, and ever since she was young, he had not raised her easily. Ling Yuxun had always been a very filial daughter.

Just as she approached the door of her father’s study, she overheard her elderly father talking with Old Lady Ku, and the subject was still about Ye Tianchen. Therefore, Ling Yuxun involuntarily stopped walking. She had been under house arrest for some time, and even her phone had been taken away, making her very eager to hear news about Ye Tianchen.

"Master Ling, I have just received news about Ye Tianchen!" Old Lady Ku spoke to Ling Yue.

"Old Lady Ku, speak your piece, there are no others here," Ling Yue nodded and replied.

"Ye Tianchen, with his own assembled force, annihilated the Xuanyuan and Ouyang families!" Old Lady Ku hesitated slightly as she spoke, her tone filled with astonishment.

"Hmm? Wiped out the Xuanyuan and Ouyang families? With his own force?"

Ling Yue, hearing this, was clearly skeptical, hardly believing it. Not only Ling Yue, but many others, upon hearing this news initially, could also hardly believe it. Let alone the fact that Ye Tianchen could gather his own force in such a short time and lead them to annihilate the Xuanyuan family and then the Ouyang family, it was simply astonishing.

One must know, both the Xuanyuan and Ouyang families were major Hidden Families with profound heritage that even the government dared not easily provoke. Yet, Ye Tianchen had managed to destroy these two powerful Hidden Families in just a few days, which sounded more like a fanciful tale.

"Ye Tianchen assembled his own force named the ’Thirteen Heavenly Kings.’ They are a very strong group. After heading to Sichuan Province and wiping out the Xuanyuan family, they also annihilated the Ouyang family last night. However, the fall of the Ouyang family involved the mobilization of military forces by the government’s top echelons!" Old Lady Ku continued speaking.

Ling Yue, hearing Old Lady Ku’s words, furrowed his brows. It seemed the situation wasn’t baseless talk. His own Ling family, being the wealthiest family among the overseas Chinese, wielded significant power in many areas, and naturally, the information they received was also the most accurate.

"The nation’s involvement?" Ling Yue grew even more puzzled.

Logically, the Ye family was a declining Third-class Family, and by the time of Ye Tianchen’s generation, it had deteriorated significantly, hardly drawing the attention of anyone in Capital City. Yet, the fact that Ye Tianchen had gained the interest and assistance of the government’s upper echelons truly surprised Ling Yue. Now that the Ling family was considering relocating back from overseas, they naturally hoped for more state support and favorable policies, having even met with top leaders who showed great concern for the Ling family.

"With Ye Tianchen’s Thirteen Heavenly Kings decisively dealing with the Thirteen Leopard Kings of the Ouyang family, the government dispatched a Heavenly Gang Level commander, leading elite troops to surround and completely eradicate the Ouyang family’s villa—extremely swift and precise execution!" Old Lady Ku said with a smile.

The Ouyang family was a major family entrenched in the Black Force, possessing considerable power. Hence, despite the government not taking action against the Ouyang family over the years, it was always closely monitored. If the Ouyang family ever attempted to emerge or endanger the safety and property of ordinary citizens, the government would then intervene. It wasn’t that the government didn’t want to eradicate such powerful and large families with Black Force connections; it was more about finding the right time.

"It seems I have indeed underestimated Ye Tianchen. I didn’t expect him to be so powerful and to have connections within the government’s higher echelons," Ling Yue said, unable to hide his admiration.

At that moment, Ling Yuxun, standing outside, was extremely happy and thrilled because all the news she heard about Ye Tianchen was good. How could she not be happy? She was about to press forward and enter when she heard Old Lady Ku speak again.

"There’s one more thing. The young master of Longteng has made his move, sending four men who almost wiped out the Thirteen Heavenly Kings. If not for Ye Tianchen’s arrival, his newly assembled force might have been annihilated!" Old Lady Ku said with a tone of surprise.

"The young master of Longteng has made his move?" Ling Yue asked, clearly startled.

"Yes, he sent out four men to battle the Thirteen Heavenly Kings, nearly achieving a complete victory!" Old Lady Ku nodded and replied.

"The Young Master of Dragon Rise is indeed unfathomable. With just four people sent out, he almost wiped out Ye Tianchen’s power. It seems Tianchen is truly no match for the Young Master of Dragon Rise, and it won’t be long before he is wiped out!" Ling Yue frowned and said.

"All these years, no one has been a match for the Young Master of Dragon Rise. Tianchen’s performance has already been stunning, but it’s a pity that he still can’t withstand the Young Master. It’s a pity to lose such talent!" Ling Yue still felt somewhat regretful as he spoke.

"I’m not quite clear about the specifics of the battle yet, but I’ve already sent someone to investigate," Old Lady Ku spoke up.

"Alright, keep an eye on the situation. And don’t let Yuxun go out. If the Young Master of Dragon Rise sets his mind on wiping out Ye Tianchen, there’s likely to be a bloody battle, and I don’t want her to be in danger!" Ling Yue said.

Old Lady Ku walked toward the door. All the conversation had been overheard by Ling Yuxun. The originally happy Ling Yuxun now felt extremely worried. The Young Master was so powerful that he nearly wiped out the Thirteen Heavenly Kings with just four people sent out; how formidable must his fighting force be?

Of course, what they didn’t know was that the four people sent by the Young Master of Dragon Rise were not only extremely skilled, but more importantly, each held a Divine Weapon, legendary weapons that could terrify anyone. Any of these weapons were enough to shock the world. Otherwise, how could they possibly suppress the group known as the Thirteen Heavenly Kings?

Ling Yuxun hurriedly went downstairs, worried about Ye Tianchen and also not wanting to be discovered by Old Lady Ku and her father, lest her father Ling Yue would further restrict her freedom.

After placing the coffee on the coffee table in the lobby of the first floor and seeing Old Lady Ku coming down, Yuxun pretended to bump into her coincidentally, walked up to Old Lady Ku with a sweet smile, and hanging on her arm, said, "Old Lady Ku, do you have any news about Ye Tianchen? I’ve been uneasy these past few days and quite worried!"

"Hehe, you little girl, you were eavesdropping outside on the conversation between your father and me. If your father finds out, he will get angry!" Old Lady Ku admonished Ling Yuxun with her words, but she was smiling kindly. Yuxun was like her granddaughter, how could she bear to scold her?

"I knew Old Lady Ku cares about Yuxun the most and won’t tell my father. Can you tell me the news about Ye Tianchen? Is his life in danger?" Ling Yuxun said coquettishly, hanging on Old Lady Ku’s arm.

"Really, there’s no dealing with you. You heard everything we just talked about, what more do you want to know?" Old Lady Ku asked with a smile.

"Just now I heard you mention the Young Master of Dragon Rise, that he took action against Ye Tianchen. How is Ye Tianchen doing now?" asked Ling Yuxun anxiously.

"He’s fine for now, but his Thirteen Heavenly Kings all suffered severe injuries, and while wiping out the Xuanyuan family, Ye Tianchen was also severely injured. But since he came back and stopped the Young Master’s people from wiping out the Thirteen Heavenly Kings, this kid should be alright!" Old Lady Ku said.

"So, what’s happening now?" Ling Yuxun asked anxiously.

"Not sure, we can only see what the Young Master of Dragon Rise does next," Old Lady Ku said helplessly.

Ling Yuxun paused. She knew Old Lady Ku wasn’t one to joke. Ye Tianchen, who had formed the "Thirteen Heavenly Kings" and wiped out the Xuanyuan and Ouyang families, was extremely formidable. But the Young Master of Dragon Rise, a mysterious figure rumored for over a decade to have no rival, wasn’t just hearsay. Sending only four people and nearly wiping out the Thirteen Heavenly Kings spoke volumes of his strength that no one dared to underestimate.

"Granny, I want to go out!" Ling Yuxun held Old Lady Ku’s hand, looking earnestly and anxiously at her.

"No, it’s too dangerous. Right now, you could say it’s the peak of the fierce duel between Ye Tianchen and the Young Master of Dragon Rise. You could lose your life!" Old Lady Ku shook her head and said.

"Granny, you’ve watched me grow up since I was little, and I’ve never been in love before. When I met Ye Tianchen, I didn’t expect to fall in love with him. That feeling from my childhood, I can’t erase it. No matter how my father tries to stop me, I have to see Ye Tianchen; otherwise, I really can’t be at peace!" Ling Yuxun pleaded passionately.

"Yuxun, what would it change if you went to see Ye Tianchen? You wouldn’t be able to help much; on the contrary, you would only make it harder for him to act freely. This kid is very capable. If he has the strength to defeat the Young Master of Dragon Rise, I believe at that time, your father won’t stop you from being with him anymore. But if he loses and gets killed, that’s something unchangeable!" Old Lady Ku looked seriously at Ling Yuxun and spoke.

"Then... then do I just wait like this? Can I really do nothing but watch him go and fight the Young Master of Dragon Rise to the death..." Ling Yuxun said self-reproachfully, tears rolling in her eyes! (To be continued.
