Chapter 116: Ling Zhantian of the Northern Army
The members of the Kang Family were already drenched in cold sweat.
Kang Yahui was forced by over a dozen sharp weapons, their dazzling cold gleam making it impossible for her to open her eyes, while the cold metal touch seemed to invade her body like a cold current, gradually breaking down her physical and mental defenses.
Gradually, Kang Yahui was so frightened that she closed her eyes, her body taut and trembling, cold sweat pouring out as if she had been caught in a downpour.
Ye Qingtian’s lips curled into a mocking cold smile, "Still not afraid?"
"Hiss!"
"Hiss!"
...
All of a sudden, the weapons surrounding Kang Yahui shattered into powder.
"Thud!"
At this moment, Kang Yahui was utterly collapsed both physically and mentally, falling to the ground with a thud, her eyes vacant and lifeless, like a walking corpse.
Ye Qingtian no longer looked at Kang Yahui, his gaze turning towards Lei Yunpeng and the others.
This glance was almost enough to scare Lei Yunpeng and the others to death.
"Please don’t kill them..."
Zhao Yiran stepped forward despite his fear.
"Then what do you think should be done?"
Ye Qingtian countered.
"This..."
Zhao Yiran was stunned: "Why not name a condition? As long as we can meet it, we’ll agree..."
Ye Qingtian touched his chin, contemplating, "Are you the top family in the Northwest?"
No one could guess Ye Qingtian’s intentions, and none dared to answer.
"In theory..."
Qiaoqiao carefully spoke up.
"Alright, two choices for you. First, no more super families in the Northwest. Second, be slaves forever! Remember, it is with reluctance that I take you as slaves!"
Ye Qingtian’s voice resonated like a thunderbolt, deafening everyone.
"Slaves forever???"
Who would have thought that the top super family in the Northwest would one day become slaves, and forever at that!
This was akin to knocking a person from heaven back to hell, a gap no one could accept.
But the other path was a dead end—the four great families would be entirely wiped out.
While others hesitated, Lei Yunpeng immediately declared, "The Lei Family is willing to serve Mr. Ye forever!"
"My Qiao Family is willing..."
"My Tan Family is willing..."
"My Kang Family is willing..."
The patriarchs of the other three families successively agreed to eternal servitude.
After the major families stated their positions, everyone present let out a deep sigh.
From now on, the four great families exist in name only.
The super families dominating the Northwest have forever become someone else’s slaves.
Especially those princes and princesses, never imagining such a day, that the strongest prodigies of the Northwest would become someone else’s slaves!
Shame!
Endless shame filled the hearts of Lei Yunpeng and others, marking this day as their most shameful one.
"Ancestors, I’ve disgraced you, the Lei Family is destroyed in my hands!"
...
Lei Yunpeng and others murmured inwardly, faces full of helplessness and regret.
However, they still felt a bit fortunate, after all, they survived.
The fate of the Lü Family was witnessed by all, an entire clan exterminated, leaving nothing behind.
From now on, the four top families of the Northwest would be Ye Qingtian’s slaves!
At the Martial Arts Conference on Longling Mountain, Ye Qingtian, after defeating multiple Martial Kings, went alone to the first city of Northwest, Anxi City. He first destroyed the Lü Family, then flattened the four families like a crushing tide, forcing them into servitude.
Soon, this news spread throughout the entire Northwest, even all of Huaxia.
Meanwhile, the Wangyue Pavilion released a groundbreaking announcement in the Martial Arts World, causing all of Huaxia to boil over.
The Huaxia Dragon List opened!
Similar to the Hidden Dragon List, which represents the younger generation of the Huaxia Martial Arts World, the Dragon List represents the entire Huaxia Martial Arts World.
The last time the Dragon List was a hot topic was over a decade ago, during the era of the Five Dragons of Huaxia, who symbolized Huaxia Martial Arts.
For nearly a decade, the Huaxia Martial Arts World’s calm led to the Dragon List being almost forgotten, but today, it was reopened for one man.
This person is Ye Qingtian.
The Dragon List, sealed for over a decade, was reopened, and Ye Xiaoyao was listed, ranking tenth.
The reason given by Wangyue Pavilion was simple: Being first on the Hidden Dragon List no longer sufficed to describe Ye Xiaoyao’s strength, thus he was placed on the Dragon List.
Moreover, Ye Xiaoyao was the first under thirty to be listed on the Dragon List.
The news spread, causing all of Huaxia to nearly explode.
The long-dormant Huaxia Martial Arts World was entirely invigorated.
In a training room of a certain military base in the Northwest Military Region, Ling Tianlong was in seclusion.
Soon, a middle-aged man appeared behind Ling Tianlong, his hands clasped, his eyes clear and deep. His tall frame was somewhat similar to Ling Tianlong’s.
"General, you’ve come?"
Ling Tianlong rose, respectfully saluting.
The man before him was none other than the Northern Army’s Military Killing God, Ling Zhantian, one of the renowned Five Dragons of Huaxia.
Ling Zhantian’s aged face was almost expressionless, after a pause, he spoke, "Losing to him should not make you dejected!"
"Hm?"
Ling Tianlong was momentarily stunned, looking at Ling Zhantian in confusion.
"Wangyue Pavilion just announced that Ye Xiaoyao is now ranked tenth on the Huaxia Dragon List!"
"What? Tenth on the Huaxia Dragon List?"
Ling Tianlong’s eyes were wide enough to pop out, nearly spitting blood.
For him, the top three of the Hidden Dragon List had always been a dream.
As for the Huaxia Dragon List, he dared not even think about it, the gap seemed insurmountable.
But now, Ye Xiaoyao not only made it onto the Dragon List but also into the top ten, almost reaching the level of his father, Ling Zhantian.
Ling Tianlong hesitated for a long time and couldn’t help but say, "General, Ye Xiaoyao’s strength might be a blessing for both Huaxia and Huaxia Martial Arts. But I heard he was born abroad, and even mingled in Europe’s Dark World, he might be a threat to Huaxia!"
Ling Zhantian’s face was as calm as still water, his tone indifferent, "If he ever becomes a threat to Huaxia, it won’t be me who’ll act, Ye Fengtian will take action!"
"Ye Fengtian?"
Hearing this name, Ling Tianlong’s body shook hard.
Ye Fengtian, known to the public only for originating from the Tianjing Ye Family; being one of the Five Dragons of Huaxia, Central Heaven; and the chief instructor of the most mysterious special forces unit, the Celestial Dragon Team...
Yet, no one knows that Ye Fengtian is the same age as Ling Tianlong, even two months his senior.
He was truly hailed as Huaxia’s greatest genius!
But few knew this!
Ling Tianlong nodded solemnly, "In that case, I am relieved, and I hope Ye Qingtian becomes one of Huaxia’s Guardian Gods!"
"Hm!"
Ling Zhantian’s eyes betrayed a hint of admiration, his stern face showing a gratified smile.
He most admired Ling Tianlong’s sense of righteousness...
...
The news of Ye Xiaoyao being listed on the Dragon List caused a stir, especially in Tianjing, where everyone was talking about Ye Xiaoyao.
In the outskirts of Tianjing, there is a club called the War God Club.
