Chapter 5: The Three Major Powers of Xihewan City

  Those two figures were an old man and a middle-aged Taoist priest. The old man had a head full of white hair, with wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, wearing a dragon-patterned golden robe, holding a silver-haired wolf-toothed staff in his hand. The other middle-aged Taoist priest wore a scholar's hat on his head, held a folding fan in his hand, and wore a white Taoist robe, showing a elegant temperament.

  An old man with a head full of white hair spoke to the patriarch of the Ye family first: "Congratulations, congratulations! Patriarch Ye, you have already become a strong master of the One-Day Mystic Mirror!"

  Ye Xuan was shocked to hear this and thought, what? Ye Wen?? Ye Xuan asked Ye Yun beside him: "Is Grandpa's name Ye Wen?"

  Watching Ye Yun nod proudly, Ye Xuan was like, "Damn it, his grandfather is Yip Man."

  The two Dayuan boundary powerhouses standing in front of the Ye family's younger generation are wearing dragon and gold tripod robes. The old man holding a silver silk wolf tooth club is the patriarch of the Situ family, Situ Teng. Another middle-aged man wearing a white Taoist robe with a elegant temperament is the lord of the West River City Lord's Mansion, Dongfang Juelan.

  There are three major forces in Xiheshi, one is the Ye family, one is the Situ family, and the other is the City Master's Mansion. In fact, the City Master's Mansion has the strongest power, Dongfang Juelan is now a strong man of the third-order Dayuan Mirror, and Situ Teng's strength also broke through to the second-order Dayuan Mirror more than a month ago.

  The sign of the Ri Xuan boundary, Yu Kong flight. When a cultivator is in the Xing Xuan boundary, the abdomen's Xuan Men is black. When breaking through to the Yue Xuan boundary, the Xuan Men turns red and black. When reaching the Ri Xuan boundary from the Yue Xuan boundary, the body's black Xuan Men transforms into a golden triangular cone shape, called the Xuan Wu by cultivators.

  The Xuan Qi inside the Xuan House is even more refined and majestic, allowing the practitioner to ride on the Xuan Qi and travel through the air.

  Yip Man looked at these two uninvited guests, who had just arrived in mid-air. Yip Man felt the overwhelming power of Xuan on them.

  Ye Wen glanced at Situ Teng and smiled: "I didn't expect Brother Situ to break through to the first level of Ri Xuanjing, it's really a joyous occasion."

  Situ Teng stroked his white beard and said, "I only broke through to the First Realm of Ri Yue Jing a month earlier than you. At my age, I'm no match for either of you two."

  Dongfang Juelian fanned herself with the folding fan in her hand, looking very elegant and carefree. She smiled and said, "Now we have another strong expert from Riyuemen in Xihuo City, it's really worth celebrating."

  Situ Teng shook his head, turned around and looked at the Ye family's young disciples, smiling: "There's nothing to celebrate now, I just hope these young disciples can surpass us old bones as soon as possible."

  Dongfang Juelian nodded and said, "I heard that among the young men of the Ye family, there is one who has already broken through to the Sixth Layer of Xuan Qi at just sixteen years old."

  Ye Wen heard this and smiled complacently, thinking that these two old men still wanted to take a look at the genius of our family. Ye Wen's eyes gleamed like stars as he spotted Ye Xuan in the crowd, beckoning him over with a wave of his hand, saying: "Ye Xuan, come here, let Master Situ and Lord City take a look at you."

  Ye Xuan was stunned, how did the conversation get to him? Ye Yun poked Ye Xuan's back, and he finally came to his senses. He slowly walked over.

  Ye Xuan came forward and thought to himself that he couldn't hide it from them either, so he steeled himself and said: "Grandfather, uh, my cultivation has disappeared!"

  "What did you say? The Mystic Gate is gone?" Ye Xun had been in seclusion for half a year and his ears were not working well.

  Dongfang Juelan took a step forward and arrived beside Ye Xuan, grasping his arm. A pure stream of Xuan Qi searched every part of Ye Xuan's body before he finally spoke: "Indeed, there is no Xuan Gate."

  Ye Wen couldn't believe it, and came to Ye Xuan's side to investigate. Only then did he realize that Dongfang Juelan was not lying. He looked at Ye Zhenwu and asked: "Zhenwu, what's going on?"

  Ye Zhenwu just told Ye Wen about Ye Xuan's fall from the cliff, but didn't mention that Ye Xuan had lost his memory.

  Ip Man nodded and looked at Dongfang Jueyun, asking: "I wonder if Brother Dongfang has ever seen or heard of such a situation?"

  Dongfang Juelan shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it with my own eyes either. Today is the first time in my life that I've encountered such a strange situation. However, when I was young, I heard my master's ancestor say that on the westernmost part of the mainland, there was a country called Tuoluó, where there was once a person who didn't have any spiritual gates, but unexpectedly, that person later became the strongest in the mainland."

  Situ Teng listened and smiled: "I've also heard what you said, but it's been a long time ago. The strong one is probably already gone back to the earth."

  Ye Wen heard them say that, it seems that Ye Xuan's cultivation path is likely to have no hope in this life, and he couldn't help but feel a great deal of regret. At the age of 16, Ye Xuan was already at the sixth level of Xuan Qi, which was considered genius-level in Xihe City.

  Dongfang Juelan put away his folding fan and also spoke regretfully on behalf of Ye Xuan: "Three months later, on August 15th, the youth competition in our Western River City, it seems that your Ye family will be missing one participant again. I originally thought that this time your Ye family would make a big splash."

  At this time, the younger generation of the Ye family didn't like to hear these words, as if there was only one genius in the Ye family. Ye Pan couldn't bear it anymore and walked out of the crowd, interrupting: "Not just Ye Xuan, I'm also here, and so is my older brother Chen Tian. Our Ye family can still take first place without a problem."

  Ye Wen said: "Ye Pan, you are being rude to Lord Cheng."

  Yip Man appeared to be blaming Yip Tin, but in his heart he did not oppose Yip Tin's actions. After all, he didn't want others to say that the young master of the Ye family was nobody.

  Dongfang Juelan didn't get angry, as the number one person in Xihuo City, he still had this kind of magnanimity, and smiled: "This young man has a lot of ambition, young people should have this kind of unstoppable momentum."

  Ye Wen invited Dongfang Juelan and Situ Teng to go to the inner hall for tea.

  After the three left, the Ye family's children dispersed after hearing the previous words. The young men all went to practice their skills. Only Ye Xuan was left standing there, suddenly feeling a sense of desolation. Ye Xuan felt depressed, thinking that in his heyday in the racing world, he was a legendary figure, and few people didn't know his name. But now, after crossing over, he had become a useless waste.

  ……

  In the main hall of the Ye family, on the wall opposite the entrance, a painting hung with four characters: "Mysterious and profound, governing all living things." Ye Xun stood in the room, staring at these four characters as if deep in thought.

  At this time, Ye Zhentang, Ye Zhenwu and Ye Zhenhu walked in. Ye Zhentang said: "Father, Mr. Situ and the City Master have left."

  Ye Zhenhu belongs to the kind of straightforward and direct, opening his mouth: "These two this time come, is it just for congratulating you on your release?"

  Ye Wen thought for a moment and said, "They came here to understand my current cultivation level first, and secondly to see the overall strength of our Ye family. From twenty years ago when our Ye family arrived in this small Xihuo City from the Thunder Empire and established our own power, compared with the Dongfang family and the Situ family, our strength has always been at the bottom. Therefore, cultivating the young generation is crucial."

  Ye Wen looked at Ye Zhenwu and continued, "You three must also strengthen your cultivation. Don't forget why we left the Thunder Empire in the first place - it's because our Ye family was too weak, which is why we were forced to come here."

  Yip Man's three disciples nodded in agreement after hearing what Yip Man had said.

  Some of Ye Wen's words reminded Ye Zhenwu of the things that happened twenty years ago. At that time, the Ye family was forced to leave the Thunder Empire because of him, which made him feel guilty about the entire Ye family.
