Everyone in the Wang family was stunned upon hearing this and felt a twinge of reluctance in their hearts.
So people are like this: when faced with crisis, they abandon all pride and dignity just to survive.
But once they see a glimr of hope, they begin to contemplate if they could gain more out of the situation.
However, the Wang Family Patriarch was clearly a wise man. As soon as Ye Fei finished speaking, he imdiately gave a nod and said, "Thank you, Mr. Ye, for your magnanimity! From this mont on, the Wang family will be subordinate to the Ye family!"
As he said this, the Wang Family Patriarch disregarded his old age and directly knelt before Ye Fei.
The others, seeing this, had no choice but to follow suit and kneel once more, except for Wang Yuting, who stood there dumbfounded.
Ye Fei, however, paid her no mind. He simply curled his fingers and flicked them dozens of tis.
Suddenly, black dots of light floated out and fell onto the heads of every Wang family mber.
"Mr. Ye, this... this is?"
Seeing this, the Wang Family Patriarch imdiately asked with a puzzled expression.
Ye Fei calmly explained, "This is the Soul Planting Technique. If your Wang family remains loyal, it will have no effect whatsoever. However, if your family harbors any sches against the Ye family, you will die instantly, burned alive by Demon Flas, with not even a corpse left behind!"
Burned by Demon Flas? No corpse left behind?
Many mbers of the Wang family, hearing Ye Fei’s mystical words, felt a surge of disdain in their hearts.
You think you can do that?
A magician? An immortal?
But just then, one of the outermost mbers of the Wang family scread suddenly.
Everyone turned to look at him.
And in an instant, they gasped audibly.
They saw a black fla suddenly spew out from his chest, engulfing his entire body rapidly.
The next second, the person turned into a pile of black charred remains, scattered on the ground.
"This... this..."
Everyone in the Wang family, including the Patriarch, who had previously disdained what Ye Fei said, now wore expressions of terror. Their gazes turned to Ye Fei, full of fear and awe!
At this mont, they finally understood that Ye Fei wasn’t making idle threats.
And they also realized that starting today, the Wang family had truly and irreversibly beco a subordinate of the Ye family, bound to loyalty for eternity!
...
The Ma family and the Wang family.
With matters concerning these two families now resolved, the Ye family’s prestige soared to unprecedented levels!
In Su Province and Southern Province, every prominent family issued orders to their children: never provoke the Ye family!
Anyone who disobeyed would be imdiately expelled from the family to avoid bringing disaster upon themselves!
While the families cowered in fear over Ye Fei, Ye Fei once again found himself at his mother Su Lingyun’s bedside, watching Shao Yu, who had rushed over from Yuntai to examine Su Lingyun’s pulse.
Even though Ye Fei possessed divine skills as a Cultivator, he was ultimately not a doctor.
So matters were better handled by professionals like Shao Yu.
However, after checking the pulse attentively, Shao Yu frowned slightly and said, "Teacher, your mother’s body is fully recovered, but she hasn’t regained consciousness. I suspect it might be Soul Loss Syndro!"
Soul Loss Syndro?
Hearing Shao Yu’s words, Ye Fei imdiately furrowed his brows.
He was naturally aware of Soul Loss Syndro, a term often used by Cultivators.
It referred to a state where a person’s bodily functions were entirely normal but their soul was either damaged or had left the body, causing a coma!
Modern dicine, however, knows nothing of the soul and often attributes such cases to brain injury, categorizing them as vegetative states instead.
In terms of soul-related ailnts, though Ye Fei practiced the Soul-Controlling Technique specializing in suppressing souls, it was incapable of restoring them.
And regarding the intricacies of the soul, even beings as powerful as the Soul-controlling Demon had limited understanding.
The thods available were generally inaccessible to soone at Yang Tian’s current level of strength!
Consequently, Ye Fei took a deep breath and asked, "Are you sure about this?"
"Teacher, I am certain!"
Shao Yu quickly nodded and said, "I’ve been practicing dicine for quite so ti now, and I can confidently recognize such symptoms. Your mother likely suffered a sudden fright that caused temporary misalignnt between her soul and physical body!"
"Temporary?" Ye Fei nodded slightly upon hearing the explanation.
He understood that a disconnect between the soul and physical body would eventually resolve naturally over ti.
But how much ti was required, that he couldn’t say.
Ye Qianqian had only just received her acceptance letter from Yuntai University, and his father Ye Zhigang had just stabilized his position as Family Head.
If either of them were to learn that Su Lingyun had fallen into a vegetative state, not only would it affect their future endeavors, but Ye Fei couldn’t bear the thought of his mother remaining in unconscious slumber!
Perhaps sensing Ye Fei’s inner turmoil, Shao Yu promptly suggested, "Teacher, we could try to awaken your mother using so Ghost Cultivation Artifacts!"
"Ghost Cultivation?"
Ye Fei imdiately turned to Ma Ning, who was standing nearby.
Having previously been a Ghost Cultivator, Ma Ning quickly said, "Master, Shao Yu is correct! However, at my forr level of strength, I never laid eyes on any Ghost Path Magic Treasures!"
"I understand!"
Ye Fei nodded slightly and said, "I only wanted to ask whether there’s a place where such Ghost Cultivation Artifacts might be acquired."
"A place to acquire Ghost Cultivation Artifacts?"
Ma Ning lowered his head in contemplation before saying, "Master, there is indeed such a place! It is called Tongqi Mountain, said to be the location of the Xuanyin Sect, an important branch of Chinese Ghost Dao. Years ago, I heard rumors about a master nad Luo Wenchang—a legendary figure in the Ghost Path who was highly revered. But whether or not it’s true, I cannot confirm."
"Cannot confirm?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Fei’s frown deepened.
Traveling to such an uncertain place, only to find it lacking, would be a huge delay in treating his mother.
After all, Ye Fei could continually nourish Su Lingyun’s body using nature’s spiritual energy, which could accelerate the integration of her soul and body!
But suddenly, Ye Fei asked, "What was the na of the highly revered Ghost Path master you ntioned?"
"Luo Wenchang. Why, Master?" Ma Ning asked, puzzled.
Luo Wenchang?
That na sounds so familiar!
Ye Fei imdiately fell into deep thought.
In no ti, Ye Fei finally recalled where he had heard the na Luo Wenchang.
It was ntioned by the Wang family’s Guardian Spirit, Master Wei, right before his death!
Judging from Master Wei’s tone, Luo Wenchang was evidently the expert who had assisted him in betraying his master!
Thus, Ye Fei promptly asked, "Where exactly is Tongqi Mountain located?"
"Master, Tongqi Mountain is at the southwestern border of Southern Province. However, as for whether the Xuanyin Sect truly exists, I can’t be sure—Luo Wenchang might just be a rumor..."
Before Ma Ning could finish his sentence, Ye Fei smiled and said, "I am certain Luo Wenchang is real! Which ans the Xuanyin Sect is likely true as well!"
Saying this, Ye Fei turned to Shao Yu and Ren Yuan and instructed, "Shao Yu, I’ll leave my mother in your care! Ren Yuan, ensure the safety of the Ye family. Ma Ning, prepare to depart with for Tongqi Mountain tomorrow morning!"
"Understood!"
...
The night passed quietly.
The next morning, after calming his younger sister Ye Qianqian’s emotions and explaining the situation to his father Ye Zhigang, Ye Fei set off with Ma Ning toward Tongqi Mountain.
After his uncle Ye Zhixiong’s Porsche was blown up, the Wang family, in an effort to demonstrate their remorse, gifted Ye Fei a new car.
A sapphire-blue Lamborghini.
Thanks to Ma Ning’s relentless speeding, they arrived at the foot of Tongqi Mountain in just half a day.
Looking at the cloud-shrouded expanse of Tongqi Mountain before them, Ma Ning said, "Master, this is my first ti coming to Tongqi Mountain, so I’m not entirely familiar with the specific path to the Xuanyin Sect!"
