69: Chapter 69 The Desperate Ye Family

The entire Xuantian Continent had fallen into a frenzy because of an order from Wang Chen!

Conquering other worlds.

Expanding territory!

Who could resist such a temptation?

Many ambitious people wanted to join this war of conquest in other worlds.

As the vanguard force personally appointed by Wang Chen, the Divine Martial Guard was naturally the first choice for those ambitious individuals.

Unfortunately.

The requirements for the Divine Martial Guard were too high!

Ever since Wang Chen helped them improve their strength, the lowest cultivation level within the entire Divine Martial Guard had reached the Celestial Realm.

Since then.

Ge Nie had reset the rules, raising the threshold for joining the Divine Martial Guard from Great Grandmaster to the Celestial Realm.

In other words.

Only by reaching the Celestial Realm could one barely qualify to join the Divine Martial Guard.

Moreover.

Even then, it was not certain that the Divine Martial Guard would accept them!

Of course.

The Divine Martial Guard was not the only option for conquering other worlds; if one couldn't get into the Divine Martial Guard, one could go elsewhere.

For example, one could join the Imperial Dynasty's most elite armies, or if that didn't work out, joining the Imperial Dynasty's newly formed Yao Beast legion was also an option...

It was all about winning glory for the country, so there was no need to worry about such minor details!

It was precisely because of this mindset.

That a wave of enthusiasm for enlisting in the army swept across the entire Xuantian Continent.

As for everything in the outside world.

Ye Tian, who was within the Divine Martial Guard, paid no attention to it.

For him.

The most important thing now was to improve his strength; otherwise, with his current cultivation level, let alone being a Deputy Commander, it would be difficult for him to even establish a foothold in the Divine Martial Guard.

Besides.

They were going to attack other worlds in three days, and since their Divine Martial Guard was the vanguard, the enemies they would face were likely at least at the Celestial Realm.

With his current Innate Realm cultivation, although he had some trump cards, they could not be used indefinitely; once he couldn't use them, he would be in danger.

He couldn't just watch from the back while others risked their lives at the front; he couldn't afford to lose face like that!

After returning to his room.

Ye Tian first spent some time recording all the Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills he had accumulated over a hundred thousand years.

This was a task assigned to him by Wang Chen, and he dared not neglect it. If he really let the other party catch him being disobedient, he would definitely have a miserable death!

Only after he had finished recording all the Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills he knew did he begin to prepare to Cultivate properly.

However.

The moment he began to operate a powerful Cultivation Technique he had practiced for a hundred thousand years.

A terrifying Power of Imperial Fortune suddenly surged into his body!

In an instant.

His cultivation rose rapidly as if riding a rocket.

First, he broke through directly to the Peak of the Innate Realm.

Then, he broke through to the Grandmaster Realm, the Great Grandmaster Realm, and finally, he broke through the barrier of the Celestial Realm.

In his bewilderment.

His cultivation finally stopped at the Peak of the Celestial Realm!

"So... that's how it is! No wonder..."

Only at this moment.

Ye Tian finally understood why Wang Chen had not killed him directly.

As a former powerhouse of the Domain Realm, he naturally knew how great a price one had to pay for accepting the gift of the Imperial Dynasty's Imperial Destiny Power!

Moreover.

Within this Luck, he could also sense the existence of the World Will!

If it were just the Power of Imperial Fortune, if he were to betray the Imperial Dynasty in the future, he would be backlashed by the power, resulting in the loss of his cultivation at best, or death and annihilation at worst.

But now it was different.

The Luck that had merged into his body also contained the will of this world, which was even more ruthless...

He didn't even need to commit any act of betrayal; as long as a single thought detrimental to the Imperial Dynasty or Wang Chen flashed through his mind, it would be sensed immediately.

Actually.

The moment that massive Power of Imperial Fortune surged into his body, he had understood. But what was the use of that? Did he dare not accept it?

If Wang Chen could not control his fate at any time, would he spare his life? As long as he wanted to survive, he had no choice but to accept it!

"Sigh... what a sin... I originally thought I was a person of destiny, and after my Rebirth, I was destined to have smooth sailing and ascend to the Nine Heavens!"

"Now it seems that my Rebirth was all for nothing..."

What he did not know was that.

After he was snatched away by Wang Chen's giant hand, the entire Chiyan Ancient City had fallen into a very eerie atmosphere.

Inside the Ye Family residence.

The core area that had been wiped out by the giant hand had become a Forbidden Ground that everyone avoided.

Families and merchants who had previously been on good terms with the Ye Family began to close their doors, refusing all contact with the Ye Family.

Even the street where the Ye Family was located, which was usually very bustling, was now deserted, as people were afraid of getting any bad Luck.

It could be said.

The entire Ye Family had instantly become something everyone avoided like stinking dog shit...

"Have you heard? Many families in our Chiyan Ancient City have secretly issued orders that anyone with marital or business ties to the Ye Family must immediately cut ties! Otherwise, if they are implicated, they will be responsible for the consequences!"

"That's not all! I heard that no one dares to go near the street in front of the Ye Family anymore!"

"Really? Is it that severe?"

"What do you think? I just came from there, and I was the only person on the whole street; it nearly scared me to death..."

"It seems... the Ye Family is truly finished this time! Offending Your Majesty is a crime punishable by the extermination of the nine clans!"

"Shh! Keep your voice down! Embroidered Uniform Guard spies might be nearby! Don't bring trouble upon yourself!"

Gossip permeated the city like poisonous fog.

Everyone concluded that the Ye Family had angered the Emperor, and their destruction was imminent.

Those who used to call themselves brothers with the Ye Family and drink together were now silent as cicadas in winter, and they all drew a line without hesitation.

The shops and properties under the Ye Family were deserted, with no one daring to patronize them.

The entire Ye Family seemed to have been isolated and abandoned by the entire Chiyan Ancient City overnight.

Inside the Ye Family.

It was even more anxious, filled with gloom and despair.

Ye Zhennan, who was originally the head of the clan, had no idea what to do at this moment.

Since Ye Tian was his son.

Although he didn't know how Ye Tian had offended His Majesty, it was, after all, a disaster caused by his son, and now it had directly implicated the entire Family; how could he have the face to face the people of the entire Family...

Faced with the pressure brought by this impending death, few people could face it calmly, and many clansmen began to blame him.

In an instant.

Their entire Ye Family had begun to fall apart.

Some collateral descendants and distant relatives, seeing that a great disaster was imminent, began to conspire secretly, wanting to sneak out of Chiyan Ancient City.

However.

Their attempts failed without exception...

Regardless of whether they chose day or night, or whether they disguised themselves as merchants or other identities, as soon as they approached the city gate, they would be unceremoniously stopped by the soldiers of the city defense army.

After some questioning, they would be "politely" invited back into the city.

After several failed attempts, an aura of despair had completely enveloped the people of the Ye Family.

Everyone understood.

They had been confined!

Like a flock of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, they were waiting for the butcher's knife to fall.
