47: Chapter 47 Night Raid

Night.

Ye Tian sat cross-legged in his small room, his body enveloped in a faint purple halo, his aura thick and steady.

He had just consumed the last bottle of Ningyuan Pill exchanged from the market, and with the help of the Nine Revolutions Purple Heart Art, the medicinal power was being rapidly absorbed and converted into pure True Qi, constantly battering against the barrier of the Qi Gathering Level 6 Peak.

Within his Dantian Qi Sea, his True Qi surged and roiled.

That Bottleneck began to loosen under repeated impacts.

"Now is the time!"

Ye Tian shouted inwardly, operating his Cultivation Technique with all his might to refine the final strand of medicinal power!

The next moment, a powerful aura erupted from within his body!

Qi Gathering Realm Seventh Layer!

Ye Tian opened his eyes, his pupils like stars.

He felt the True Qi within his body, which was several times more powerful than when he was at Level 6, and his mood was excellent.

"Finally, the Seventh Layer! With my current strength, combined with the Body Refining Fourth Layer and the Great Perfection Overlapping Wave Fist, even if I face the Qi Gathering Eighth Layer, I have the power to fight!"

However, just as he was immersed in the joy of his increased strength.

A cold, bone-chilling, and biting killing intent locked onto him!

"Someone!"

The hair on Ye Tian's body stood on end instantly!

Without even thinking, his body instinctively leaned back violently!

Swish! Swish! Two sharp, black, cold lights grazed past his nose and chest.

Tearing two deep marks into the bed where he had just been sitting!

The next moment, two black shadows broke through the window, their poisoned short blades aimed directly at Ye Tian's throat and heart!

The speed was astonishing!

"Qi Gathering Realm Eighth Layer! Two of them!"

Ye Tian's pupils constricted, his heart filled with shock and anger!

What shocked him was that these two had profound cultivation and could silently infiltrate the core area of the Family and head straight for his residence!

Was the Family's defense non-existent?!

What angered him was that the other party's strikes were vicious, clearly intending to take his life!

"Who are you?!"

Ye Tian shouted sternly, his body retreating violently to avoid the lethal combined attack.

His gaze swept over the opponents; both were dressed in night-traveler clothes, faces covered with black scarves, revealing only their eyes, making their identities impossible to discern.

But two names flashed through Ye Tian's mind instantly.

Black Cloud Stronghold! Lin Family!

Apart from these two factions, he couldn't think of anyone else who would plot so deliberately to take his life!

The two men in black did not answer at all; their eyes were cold, and having failed their first strike, they immediately lunged again!

Their blade techniques were tricky and vicious, every move lethal, and their coordination was seamless!

Ye Tian fought back hastily, throwing out the Overlapping Wave Fist to clash head-on with them!

The collision of Qi energy instantly shattered the tables and chairs in the room!

As soon as they clashed, Ye Tian was at a disadvantage.

The opponents were, after all, two Qi Gathering Eighth Layer experts; their cultivation was a level higher than his, and their attacks were fierce and well-coordinated, catching him off guard. He could only rely on his tough Body Refining Fourth Layer Physical Body to barely hold his own, and he instantly gained a few shallow bloodstains on his body.

"Damn it!"

Ye Tian inwardly cursed; if it were a head-on confrontation, he wouldn't necessarily fear them, but he had been ambushed first and lost the initiative.

However, he quickly steadied his footing.

The advantage of the Body Refining Fourth Layer was revealed; the opponents' blades, when slicing across his body, often only left shallow wounds and could not cause heavy damage.

And his Overlapping Wave Fist energy made the two men in black quite wary; the layered hidden energy caused their blood to roil.

For a time, figures flew about the room, fist wind and blade light intertwined, falling into a stalemate.

Although Ye Tian couldn't do anything to them for the moment, it was absolutely impossible for them to take him down in a short time!

However, not long after, the intense sound of fighting finally attracted the attention of the Family patrol team!

"What is that sound?!"

"In that direction! It's Young Master Ye Tian's residence!"

"There's an assassin! Quickly send the signal! Surround that place!"

The shouts and hurried footsteps of the patrol members came from afar, and a signal flare shot into the sky, illuminating the night.

The two men in black narrowed their eyes and exchanged a glance, knowing that they could not succeed.

They made a swift decision, feinted a move to force Ye Tian back, and without hesitation, their figures darted out of the window again, disappearing into the night after a few leaps.

Ye Tian did not pursue; he stood where he was, breathing slightly, looking at the chaotic room and the shadows disappearing outside the window, his eyes cold and bone-chilling.

The opponents came fast and left fast, clearly premeditated; having failed one strike, they fled far away.

"Qi Gathering Eighth Layer assassins... what a huge investment!"

Ye Tian's voice was low and filled with anger, "Black Cloud Stronghold... Lin Family... Very well, this debt, I, Ye Tian, will remember it!"

However, tonight's assassination also made him realize that increased strength did not mean safety.

The enemy in the shadows was more terrifying than he had imagined!

Soon, hurried footsteps approached; the Second Elder Ye Wenshan arrived in a rush with a large number of guards. Seeing the situation inside the room and the bloodstains on Ye Tian, his expression immediately became extremely ugly.

"Ye Tian! Are you okay?" Ye Wenshan asked urgently.

"I am fine, Second Elder." Ye Tian shook his head, took a deep breath, and suppressed the killing intent in his heart, "It's just that it seems someone can no longer tolerate my existence."

Ye Wenshan looked in the direction where the men in black had disappeared, his eyes full of coldness: "To dare to infiltrate the Family's core area to assassinate! Truly lawless! Investigate! Investigate thoroughly for me! Strengthen all security!"

Unfortunately, after a night of rigorous searching and questioning, nothing was gained in the end.

Those two men in black seemed to have evaporated into thin air, leaving no clues to trace their identities.

The Family station's guards were strengthened several times over, and the atmosphere was so heavy it was suffocating.

The next morning, the Family council hall.

The Clan Chief Ye Qingtian sat in the main seat, his face black to the extreme, the Ningyuan Realm pressure radiating from his body made the atmosphere in the entire hall very oppressive.

Below, all the Family Elders and core stewards were present, each holding their breath and focusing, not daring to let out a sound.

"Investigate! Continue to investigate for me! Even if you have to turn Luo City upside down, you must ferret out those two rats from last night!"

Ye Qingtian slammed his palm onto the armrest, and the hard ironwood armrest instantly turned into powder!

His voice was like cold ice, "To dare to infiltrate my Family to assassinate my clan's Genius disciple! This is a naked provocation against my Family! Do they think my Family has no one left?!"

The violent True Qi fluctuations made the hall buzz, and some stewards with slightly lower cultivation turned pale, almost unable to stand steady.

Everyone could see that Ye Qingtian was truly furious.

This also indicated the degree of importance Ye Qingtian placed on Ye Tian.

Ye Qingtian's chest heaved violently, his gaze swept over everyone, and finally fixed on a spot in the Void Realm: "Lin Batian! Apart from your Lin Family, who else would plot so deliberately to stifle my Family's hope! Good! Very good!"

He did not yet know that the Lin Family had already colluded with the Black Cloud Stronghold, so he pointed his spearhead at his mortal enemy, the Lin Family, first thing.

After a long time, Ye Qingtian forcibly suppressed his anger, slowly sat back in his chair, and his voice returned to calm: "Everyone, since things have reached this point, speak up, what are your thoughts?"
