Elder Canglong found Ye Feng and said mysteriously, "Lord Sea God, guess what surprise I brought you?"
Ye Feng heard this and smiled, "Could it be that you've successfully broken through to the peak of Grandmaster?"
Elder Canglong's cultivation had already reached the late stage of Grandmaster long ago, and when he left last time, he had touched the peak of Grandmaster. That was why he returned to Rocky Island to enter seclusion.
Therefore, Ye Feng guessed that the surprise he mentioned might be his own breakthrough.
However, Elder Canglong shook his head upon hearing this, "My breakthrough is a certainty, not a surprise!"
Ye Feng was overjoyed and also became curious, asking, "Then what exactly is the surprise you're talking about?"
Elder Canglong smiled mysteriously, then clapped his hands and said, "Come out, everyone!"
Ye Feng heard this and asked confusedly, "Everyone come out? Who?"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Ye Feng immediately felt three incredibly powerful auras.
While Ye Feng was still wondering, three figures suddenly appeared before him.
Seeing these three figures, he was immediately startled.
"Greetings, Lord Sea God!" the three knelt down in unison and shouted respectfully.
Seeing them, Ye Feng was overjoyed, "Patriarch of the Mermaid Tribe, Patriarch of the Jiao Clan, you, have you broken through to Grandmaster?"
The two nodded and said, "Thanks to the countless spirit stones and cultivation techniques bestowed by Lord Sea God, we have not failed in our mission to break through!"
Ye Feng was extremely excited upon hearing this.
With the breakthroughs of the Patriarch of the Mermaid Tribe and the Patriarch of the Jiao Clan to Grandmaster, Ye Feng's forces could truly be considered to have established a firm foothold.
However, there was also an unexpected surprise in the person next to them, whom Ye Feng had never met.
Although Ye Feng had never met him, he felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen him somewhere before, or perhaps knew him from the past.
"By the way, could this be the Blood Eel King?" Ye Feng pondered for a moment and asked.
Elder Canglong quickly nodded, "That's right, this is the Blood Eel King!"
"After he devoured that Grandmaster from the Gongsun family, he also successfully broke through to Grandmaster and transformed into human form!"
Ye Feng was extremely excited and said, "So that's how it is! Haha, that's great, now we have four Grandmasters!"
In this era where spiritual energy had not fully recovered, and before the Celestial Realm appeared, Grandmasters were the most powerful beings.
Although the three had only just broken through to the early stage of Grandmaster, the foundation left by the Sea God for Ye Feng was immense. The spirit stones and cultivation techniques he had given them were all top-notch, capable of greatly enhancing their strength.
It was no exaggeration to say that although they had just broken through to the early stage of Grandmaster, their strength was definitely not weaker than that of ordinary mid-stage Grandmaster experts.
Their overall strength at this moment could be said to be no weaker than that of ordinary hidden families and sects.
However, just as Ye Feng and the others were rejoicing, the Gongsun family in the north, the Tang family, the Tianluo Sect to which the Zhao family had defected, and the mysterious Blood Witch organization had reached a consensus and were preparing to make a move against them.
The three parties were all major forces, especially the Tianluo Sect and the Blood Witch organization, which were behemoths. With the three parties joining forces, even if Ye Feng had four Grandmasters, they would definitely not be a match for the opponents.
However, what no one knew was that at this very moment, the situations of the four forces in the north—the hidden Gongsun family, the Tianluo Sect, the Blood Witch organization, and the Sea God Company—were being controlled by another party.
In Kyoto, a butler walked quickly into a magnificent building. xxs壹贰
Inside the building, two people were discussing something. Seeing the butler enter, they both turned to look.
If Ye Feng saw these three people, he would have been absolutely stunned!
Because he had met and recognized all three of them. They were none other than Old Master Qin and his two companions, whom Ye Feng had treated and who had stayed on his Rocky Island for more than half a year.
Butler Zhao saw that both of them were present and said urgently, "Master, Old Master! You are both here! That's great!"
Seeing the butler's troubled expression, the two quickly asked, "Butler Zhao, what is it?"
"Recently, our subordinates have discovered that the Gongsun family, the Tianluo Sect, and the Blood Witch organization have joined forces to destroy the Young Master's Sea God Company. The time is set for tomorrow night!" Butler Zhao explained.
Upon hearing this, the Old Master snorted, "These people have truly grown audacious, daring to lay a hand on my grandson! Annihilate them all!"
Qin Mingyuan heard this and said, "Father! I will handle this matter!"
"Good! But I'll say this first, you must teach them a profound lesson to deter other forces!" the Old Master declared domineeringly.
Qin Mingyuan nodded and pondered for a moment, "To deter other forces, we must destroy one or two of them!"
"But who should we destroy?" Butler Zhao frowned.
To be honest, although their Great Qin family was incredibly powerful, it was not easy to completely destroy one of the three parties.
Qin Mingyuan heard this and said, "First, the Blood Witch organization is extremely mysterious, and their main base is hard to find. It's too difficult to destroy them! Second, the Tianluo Sect has not yet emerged, and only a small portion of their people are outside. It's also impossible to destroy them!"
"Therefore, it would be best for us to destroy the hidden Gongsun family. Their strength is the weakest among the three, and we are most familiar with the location of their main base!"
Butler Zhao immediately nodded in agreement, "Indeed! Then I will go and arrange personnel to prepare for the attack!"
"Yes, yes! Besides destroying the Gongsun family, remember to send a few Grandmasters to protect the Young Master. His subordinates might not be a match for the other two parties!" Qin Mingyuan instructed.
"Understood..."
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day. Ye Feng felt his eyelids twitching incessantly, as if something bad was about to happen.
Ye Feng immediately called Xiao Feifei and asked her if anything was wrong and to be extra careful.
Besides Xiao Feifei, Ye Feng also called Zhou Lingyu, Su Keqing, Lin Qingyue, and others, and invited them all to a gathering at the Sea God Company that evening.
Although it was called a gathering, it was actually to prevent others from targeting them and using them as threats.
Therefore, inviting them to this place was for their protection.
Meanwhile, in the north, two Grandmasters from the Gongsun family, leading several Grandmasters and over a dozen Innate experts, were grandly preparing to depart.
However, not long after they left the Gongsun family, they suddenly sensed that something was amiss.
"Hmm? Who's there? Get out!"
The leading expert from the Gongsun family sensed that something was wrong and immediately shouted.
The next second, a figure completely shrouded in a black robe appeared before them, sneering, "As expected of the Great Elder of the Gongsun family, your keen senses are truly astonishing!"
"Hmph, who are you? Sneaking around, what do you want?" the Great Elder frowned.
The other party sneered, "Heh heh, I won't tell you who I am! But I can tell you the purpose of this trip!"
"What purpose!" the Great Elder's brows furrowed tightly, showing a hint of unease.
The black-robed man in front of them looked at them and said, "To destroy your Gongsun family..."
