Chapter 114: I’ll Also Give You Ten Breaths to Decide

The Yang family’s residence had been expanded and renovated, now adorned in dazzling gold and jade, as if flaunting its opulence and arrogance for all to see.

Inside the grand hall, a group of people sat gathered, five of whom exuded formidable fluctuations of internal energy.

"I wonder if Elder Yang Quan has succeeded in subduing the Chen family yet?" a dark-skinned middle-aged man chuckled.

"With Elder Yang Quan’s cultivation and strength, the Chen family only has two paths: submit or leave. Of course, if they refuse to see reason, there might just be a third option," a plump woman added with a cold glint in her eyes.

"To be fair, I’d prefer the Chen family not take that path," the Yang Family Head sighed from his seat at the head of the table. "After all, no matter how you look at it, our Yang family’s initial foothold in Lingshan City was partly due to the Chen family’s support."

Back then, when the Yang family first arrived in Lingshan City, they struggled immensely.

Had it not been for the Chen family’s aid, they would never have established themselves and would have been utterly devoured by the Zhou family.

Yet now, in the Yang Family Head’s words, it was reduced to mere "some support."

Utterly laughable.

"Father, the Chen family’s trivial favors back then were nothing," a young man resembling Yang Xuening scoffed dismissively. "Our Yang family is destined to rise and soar to greatness. For the Chen family to submit to us would be their greatest honor."

The others burst into laughter at his words.

"Enough. Our return to the Ancestral Clan is an honor in itself. Do not grow complacent. Remember, the Ancestral Clan is filled with countless experts and powerhouses—our current strength is insignificant in comparison," the Yang Family Head warned sternly, his expression turning grave.

At the mention of the Ancestral Clan, the Yang family members immediately sobered, their faces tightening with reverence.

BOOM!

A deafening explosion shook the air as the mansion’s gates shattered into splinters, scattering in all directions.

"What’s going on?!" the Yang Family Head barked, his brow furrowing.

A striking figure clad in a Sky Cloud Robe strode forward, bathed in divine radiance as if draped in celestial garments. The sunlight cascaded over him, making him appear like a deity descended to the mortal realm, evoking awe and reverence from all who beheld him.

"Who are you?!"

"How dare you barge into our Yang family?!"

Several Aperture Opening Realm experts from the Yang family roared in anger and challenge.

Simultaneously, three more figures stormed in—an elderly man with his hands clasped behind his back, seemingly devoid of any notable aura, followed by Chen Changhe and Chen Changfeng.

"Chen Changhe, Chen Changfeng… So it’s you," the Yang Family Head’s eyes narrowed before twisting into a cold smirk. "How bold of you to force your way into our Yang family. It seems the Chen family no longer holds us in any regard."

"Family Head Yang—"

Chen Changhe hurriedly attempted to explain.

After all, the Yang family was no longer what it once was. Though the specifics remained unclear, one thing was certain: the current Yang family was not a force the Chen family could afford to provoke.

"What if I take you seriously? What if I don't?" Chen Feng countered calmly, his tone unhurried.

Chen Changhe's remaining words lodged in his throat.

No matter what, they were family. Since Chen Feng had spoken so decisively, there was no reason for him to offer any further explanation to the other side.

"Who exactly are you? What is your relation to the Chen family?" The Yang Family Head's expression darkened, his eyes glinting with cold fury as he demanded sharply.

"Family Head Yang, has your sight grown dim with age in just a few years?" Chen Feng retorted without hesitation.

"Chen Feng!" The Yang Family Young Master—Yang Xuening's elder brother, Yang Mingjie—had been staring at Chen Feng all this time. Only now did he cry out in shock.

"What?"

"He's Chen Feng?"

The Yang family members erupted in astonishment.

"So it's my esteemed nephew Chen Feng. It's been years—you've changed quite a bit," the Yang Family Head said, his grave expression dissolving into a mocking smile. "But didn't you join the Huntian Sect as an Outer Sect Disciple? Why have you returned? Could it be... you were expelled?"

The Yang Family Head recalled his daughter's letters, which mentioned Chen Feng's mediocre talent. Even if he had joined the Huntian Sect, he would only ever be an Outer Sect Disciple.

However, much time had passed since then. Through cultivating the Huntian Sword Body, Devouring divine traits to strengthen himself, and advancing his sword Dao to the second realm of Heart-Sword Unity, Chen Feng's entire bearing had undergone a complete transformation.

It was no surprise the Yang family hadn't recognized him at first.

But the reason behind these changes? The Yang family would never guess it in their wildest dreams.

Hearing the Yang Family Head's words, Yang Tao's eyes flickered with derision, though he remained silent.

Chen Changhe and Chen Changfeng, however, paled in shock.

"Enough nonsense. The Yang family now has two choices," Chen Feng said, ignoring the others and fixing his gaze on the Yang Family Head, his voice steady. "First, submit to the Chen family. Second, your entire clan leaves Lingshan City." He paused briefly before adding, "Or... there's a third option. But I doubt you'll like it."

At Chen Feng's words, everyone except Yang Tao turned ashen.

"Spending some time in the Huntian Sect has made you forget your place—or have you been expelled and gone mad?" Yang Mingjie sneered, rising to his feet. He strode forward, reaching out to slap Chen Feng's face.

Boom!

A dull thud, like a drumbeat, echoed through the hall, followed by a scream. Yang Mingjie was sent flying, crashing into the wall like a painting before sliding down slowly.

Blood gushed from his mouth.

"Mingjie!"

"Young Master!"

The Yang family members cried out in horror.

"You dare attack our people? You won't leave here alive!" The dark-skinned middle-aged man roared, his killing intent erupting. He leaped forward, over twenty points of starlight flickering around him as his internal energy surged. With a furious palm strike, he aimed straight for Chen Feng's head.

The force of the palm tore through the air.

Its power was enough to shatter solid rock.

Chen Changhe and Chen Changfeng's faces twisted in alarm once more, but an overwhelming pressure locked them in place, rendering them immobile.

A palm strike swept through the air without any visible buildup, and the dark-skinned middle-aged man was sent flying once more. Amid his agonized screams, his body slammed into the wall, embedding several centimeters deep. His chest caved in, and blood continuously gushed from his mouth, leaving him barely alive.

"Elder Yang Shan!"

The Yang Family Head and the rest of the Yang family were utterly horrified.

"You are not Chen Feng. Who are you, really?" The Yang Family Head turned to stare at Chen Feng, his voice trembling with fear.

Even though his cultivation and strength surpassed Yang Shan's, he couldn't possibly send Yang Shan flying with a single strike, leaving him on the brink of death.

Moreover, he hadn't even seen how it happened.

Yang Shan had been sent flying, nearly killed in an instant.

"My name is Chen Feng, the young master of the Chen family and a disciple of the Huntian Sect," Chen Feng replied calmly. "Yang Family Head, I’ll give you ten breaths to decide. If you don’t make a choice, I’ll make it for you."

If Yang Quan had heard Chen Feng’s words, he might have burst into tears.

For a moment, Chen Changhe and Chen Changfeng were dumbstruck, their minds blank.

The Yang family members' expressions twisted in terror, but none dared to act, fearing they would meet the same fate as Yang Shan.

Chen Feng’s counterattack had been too swift—only Yang Tao among those present could clearly perceive it.

"Go and summon Young Master Yang Lin at once!" the Yang Family Head suddenly ordered.
