Not long after, Lin Feng and Duan Liang appeared at the Ye family's old residence.
Before entering, Duan Liang took out a rusty large iron hammer. Unknown patterns were carved on the hammer, which looked ancient but contained unparalleled might.
"Damn it, they want to kill my little brother Lin Feng, and indirectly caused my death. Today, I'll smash their nest first!"
Duan Liang cursed, swung the great iron hammer, and with a rumble!
As the hammer swung, a terrifying surge of energy burst forth from it.
The surge was turbulent and destructive, instantly destroying an entire wall of the Ye family's old residence.
With dust billowing, Duan Liang, not feeling satisfied after smashing the Ye family's wall, leaped into the air and brought the hammer down on the Ye family's gate.
With a boom!
The Ye family's gate vanished on the spot under the hammer's impact.
Such a huge commotion immediately alerted the Ye family members, who poured out from all directions, cursing.
"It's good that you're here. Last time, I didn't bother with you Ye family, but this time, I won't indulge you!"
Duan Liang, his face full of rage, swung the great iron hammer at the approaching crowd.
With a whoosh!
The hammer unleashed a destructive force that shattered everything. The terrifying aura caused the Ye family members' expressions to change drastically, and they instinctively turned to flee.
However, in the hands of someone like Duan Liang, escape was not so simple.
At this critical moment, Ye Lingtian and the three Ye family ancestors appeared in time.
The three ancestors attacked simultaneously, circulating their true qi to block Duan Liang's hammer.
"Daoist Priest, didn't we agree last time that you wouldn't bother with my Ye family? Why are you suddenly here smashing our wall and gate? Your actions are a bit inappropriate!"
Ye Lingtian stared at Duan Liang, who was suspended in mid-air, and questioned him with forced anger.
"Enough nonsense! I'm here today to flatten your Ye family!"
"Your Ye family has tried to kill my little brother Lin Feng twice. My brotherhood with little brother Lin Feng is deep. If you bully him, you bully me!"
Duan Liang glared at the Ye family members with righteous indignation.
He was now benefiting from Lin Feng's connection with the Demon Emperor. How could he allow anyone to bully Lin Feng?
"Hmph, fellow Daoist, since you insist on being my Ye family's enemy, then the three of us can only fight you to the death."
"Although you possess a great treasure, if we go all out, you might not gain any advantage!"
The three Ye family ancestors snorted coldly, facing Duan Liang, and assumed a battle stance.
"That was before. Now, if I go all out, the three of you old fellows won't be enough for me to fight."
"Little brother Lin Feng, take out the complete treasure and let them have a look!"
Duan Liang said, with his hands behind his back, full of pride.
Lin Feng naturally knew what Duan Liang intended. He smiled and handed the complete version of the Netherworld Demon Jar to Duan Liang.
It was unavoidable. Although he had found the missing lid for the Netherworld Demon Jar, he had no idea how to use it.
He could only let Duan Liang show off for now while he learned how to use it.
Duan Liang took the Netherworld Demon Jar and held it in his palm.
Upon seeing this, the faces of the three Ye family ancestors changed drastically.
"Not good! Daoist Priest, please calm your anger. It's all a misunderstanding, don't get upset!"
The three ancestors, as if seeing something terrifying, lost their previous arrogance and hurriedly tried to appease Duan Liang's emotions.
Ye Lingtian also noticed that the Netherworld Demon Jar Duan Liang brought out this time was different from before.
The previous jar was missing its lid, yet it still caused the three ancestors considerable trouble.
Now that the jar had its lid, wouldn't the three ancestors also be no match for Duan Liang?
Ye Lingtian showed a hint of apprehension and said with a smile, "Daoist Priest, it is indeed a misunderstanding. Our Ye family harbors no ill will towards young friend Lin Feng."
"If you don't believe me, you can ask young friend Lin Feng. I've helped him quite a bit these past few days."
Ye Lingtian smiled, looking at Lin Feng for help, hoping he would put in a good word.
"Dad, I'm back! You don't have to be afraid of them!"
At this moment, Commander Demon Qiulong, along with Ye Chen, finally caught up.
Lin Feng and Duan Liang possessed the speed of the Flying Pig. Even though Commander Demon Qiulong was immensely powerful, his travel speed was still inferior to Lin Feng and Duan Liang.
This was why he was a step behind them.
"Chen'er, Commander Demon, you've returned at the right time!"
Ye Lingtian, seeing Ye Chen and Commander Demon appear together, could not help but show a hint of joy.
"Commander Demon, when you were not here, this young man named Lin, along with his elder brother, came to bully my Ye family again. I implore you to uphold justice for my Ye family!"
Ye Lingtian bowed to Qiulong. The three Ye family ancestors also lowered their postures when facing Qiulong, cupping their hands.
"Hmph, Ye Chen, are you an idiot?"
"The Emperor himself told me to protect these two. You're still asking me to back your Ye family. What are you thinking? Do you want me to be an enemy of the Emperor?"
Qiulong found it amusing.
Ye Chen was not deaf or blind. Ye Chen had heard firsthand what the Demon Emperor had said earlier.
Did Ye Chen not understand the situation here?
Qiulong's words caused Ye Chen, Ye Lingtian, and the others to look dumbfounded.
Especially Ye Chen, who was shocked and asked, "Commander Demon, so you mean you can't help my Ye family either?"
"That's right. This is your personal grievance. Resolve it yourselves. I will not interfere."
"However, if your Ye family threatens the safety of these two, I will annihilate you immediately!"
Qiulong said with a blank expression.
Gasp!
Ye Chen, Ye Lingtian, and the three Ye family ancestors almost choked.
What did Qiulong mean by this?
Not only would he not help the Ye family, but if the Ye family threatened Lin Feng and Duan Liang, the Commander Demon would turn against the Ye family.
Wouldn't that mean that no matter what, the Ye family would be bullied by Lin Feng and Duan Liang?
"Chen'er, what is going on? Didn't I ask you to lead Commander Demon to assist Senior Demon Emperor in exiting his seclusion? Why are they both so close to the demon race now?"
Ye Lingtian asked anxiously, having realized that things had taken a turn.
"Dad, it's because Lin Feng, he, he assisted the Demon Emperor in exiting his seclusion first. Then the Demon Emperor became extremely grateful to Lin Feng and obeyed his every word."
"I, I'm also a bit confused now. I don't know how things have evolved to this point!"
Ye Chen looked troubled when asked.
Ye Lingtian, however, understood. He staggered back several steps, unable to stand steady.
"It's over, my Ye family is finished."
Ye Lingtian's face turned ashen. He had originally planned to use the Commander Demon's influence to get close to the Demon Emperor, but now Lin Feng had gotten there first.
"Ye Lingtian, you finally know that your Ye family is finished?"
"First, you tried to climb the ranks through your connection with the demon race, and then you wanted to crush me under your feet. You had such grand plans, didn't you?"
"Tell me, how does your Ye family want to die?"
Lin Feng walked over with a smile. Now that things were clear, he could openly act presumptuously.
"Lin Feng, we were just confused for a moment. I beg you to be magnanimous and forgive my Ye family, considering I've helped you several times before."
Ye Lingtian said with a face full of apprehension.
"That's right, it's better to resolve enmities than to create them. Please show us some mercy."
The three Ye family ancestors had also lost their temper. The current situation gave Lin Feng and his group a significant advantage.
His Ye family was no match for Lin Feng, and they could only choose to back down and apologize.
