Chapter 117 The Murong Family Has An Ancestor
"ye feng, who is he?"
elder xuan ming's gray eyebrows twitched, and a cold expression appeared on his face.
murong tongming bowed respectfully and said, "to answer the elder, ye feng's background is not well known, but it is known that he is the son-in-law of the hong family of jiangdu."
"the hong family of jiangdu, are they very formidable?" elder xuan ming asked again.
"not formidable, they are merely an insignificant small clan, far from comparable to my murong prince mansion!" murong tongming said this with some pride.
"if they are not formidable, why were your son and grandson wiped out?" elder xuan ming said with a cold snort.
at this, murong tongming could no longer smile, and after a pause, he said, "although the hong family of jiangdu is not formidable, and that ye fellow himself was a cripple with broken legs, he has several powerful followers!"
"according to the intelligence that has been reported back, among that mad son-in-law of the hong family's followers, there are two who are at the huajin grandmaster level!"
"huajin grandmaster?"
elder xuan ming's eyes, appearing cloudy, narrowed slightly. after pondering for a while, he said, "it seems that this ye fellow doesn't have any formidable background, but since my two disciples could die at their hands, the other party must have some skills."
murong tongming could only nod. in the past two days, he had considered seeking revenge, but he was well aware that the other party, able to easily slay even two of his enforcers, would likely be more than he could handle even if he took action personally.
unless, the family ancestor personally came out of his secluded cultivation!
but up to now, the ancestor was still in deep secluded cultivation, preparing to break through to the realm of the martial king, and unless absolutely necessary, he must not be disturbed!
after all, once the ancestor achieved the status of martial king, then his position as king of east river would secure, and then, not just east river, but even the whole eastern border or the southern territory, the gusu murong family might also be able to extend their reach!
"elder xuan ming, now that you have arrived in east river, i wonder what your plans are, whether you are prepared to immediately head to jiangnan to exterminate that ye fellow and avenge your disciples?" murong tongming inquired after some thought.
now that this senior elder from the xuan ming sect had stepped in, he was only too eager, for after all, using another's hand to kill his enemy was something he had done many times in his life.
elder xuan ming snorted coldly, "killing my disciples, this vengeance certainly has to be avenged, but this old man has been hurrying day and night, and has expended too much energy, i need to properly rest."
murong tongming immediately said, "of course, in that case, elder, please rest well. oh, i will have two young maidens of fine appearance come to attend to you."
furthermore, the territory of east river was awkwardly situated between the southern territory and the eastern border. since it was jointly governed, both territories would easily neglect it.
"let's go!" ye feng waved his hand, then left the hall in a wheelchair pushed by hong qingyan, before getting into the car.
hong qingyan was naturally very happy because ye feng still chose to bring her along on this distant journey. she could see that this king of no ordinary status genuinely regarded her as his fiancée.
this made hong qingyan both happy and apprehensive, to the point where she had several sleepless nights.
the three cars quickly left the southern river region jiangnan, and after getting on the highway, they sped eastward.
as for the aftermath with the four great families of southern river region jiangnan, ye feng didn't pay much attention. he only instructed master of pang family to establish a foundation and, additionally, used secret channels to contact the headquarters of the martial alliance in the imperial capital, asking them to send another reliable person to take charge of the situation in jiangnan.

four hours later, the car left the highway and entered the territory of east of the river!
at that moment, at the murong prince mansion located in the suburbs' old garden, an off-road vehicle roared in and stopped abruptly at the mansion's gate. a young man dressed in a close-fitting martial outfit quickly jumped out of the car.
"bad news, he's come, that youngster is here, quickly report to the king of east river, that ye fellow has arrived!" the man shouted as he rushed into the mansion.
inside, murong tongming was enjoying afternoon tea in the pavilion, opposite elder xuan ming.
at this very moment, elder xuan ming, draped in shoulder-length loose hair, wore a silk brocade short robe with buttons undone, exuding an undisciplined air. two beautiful maids were behind him, massaging his back and shoulders.
the informant barged in, hollering all the way and interrupting the scene.
"this is outrageous, what is this ruckus about, have you no sense of decorum at all!" murong tongming instantly berated him in fury.
"it's terrible, master, he's come, that ye chap, he's entered our east river, and now he's heading straight for our palace!" the informant panted out the news.
crack!
perhaps out of great anger or anxiety, murong tongming clenched the teacup in his hand too tightly, shattering it on the spot.
across from him, elder xuan ming glanced over and said with a cold laugh, "what's there to panic about? since the youngster has come to us, it couldn't be any better. i shall eliminate him here and save us a trip to jiangnan!"
having said that, elder xuan ming slowly stood up and picked up his strange-looking cane.
