On the other side, the Shi Family stood in stark contrast to the Zhang Family.

At this moment, Shi Neng and the others had already brought the news back to the Shi Family.

"What? You say the Ye Family and the Divine Dragon Guard wiped out the Guo Family? Moreover, the Zhang Family sent Zhang Wuji for support, but he was crippled by Patriarch Ye and became an ordinary person? How could this be possible?" Upon hearing this news, the Shi Family Patriarch was stunned, his face full of disbelief.

Previously, he worried that the Ye Family and the Divine Dragon Guard wouldn't be a match for the Guo Family.

But as it turned out, not only did the Ye Family and the Divine Dragon Guard take down the Guo Family, they also crippled the reinforcements sent by the Zhang Family. Their worries had been for nothing.

"Indeed, not only was Zhang Wuji crippled, but the elders sent by the Zhang Family all had their meridians severed, making recovery quite difficult," Shi Neng nodded, smiling as he replied.

"Haha! Excellent! Well done, what will the Zhang Family use against us now?" Upon hearing this, the Shi Family Patriarch's face broke into a wide grin.

"How formidable is this Patriarch Ye? What realm is he in to be able to cripple a peak Martial God expert? Could he be an old peak Martial God?"

"Moreover, Zhang Wuji wielded the Earth Demon Hidden Dragon Sword, with very exaggerated combat power, yet Patriarch Ye defeated him with one strike?"

"This Patriarch Ye is simply divine; how have we not heard of such a person before? Where did he suddenly emerge from?"

In an instant, the Shi Family became very lively, with everyone laughing and discussing.

Indeed, severely injuring the Zhang Family was very beneficial for them; good times were coming for the Shi Family, so how could they not be happy?

Amidst the discussions, Shi Neng hastily explained:

"This Patriarch Ye is a half-step Martial Saint, not even a full Martial Saint, but he possesses a powerful treasure, giving him combat power equivalent to a high-level Martial God. He's invincible at the high-level Martial God Realm. He used an array to defeat Zhang Wuji and crippled his dantian."

….

With Shi Neng's words, everyone was stunned.

"What did you say? He's a half-step Martial Saint? Not even a full Martial Saint? How does he possess such terrifying combat power?"

"This... this is insane! Is he even human? Compared to him, I feel like my whole life of cultivation has gone to the dogs."

"My heavens! What kind of monster is he? Why is he so heaven-defying?"

"And he's only in his twenties? What will the future hold? Won't he just rub all of us elders into the ground?"

All the elders of the Shi Family were terrified by Ye Feng's monstrous talent; they'd never seen anyone as monstrous as Ye Feng, truly like a monster.

At the same time, thinking of Ye Feng's terrifying talent, they all felt an immense apprehension, warning themselves that Ye Feng must not be provoked.

"Rest assured! Patriarch Ye has already agreed to form an alliance with our Shi Family, and he hopes that the Ye Family and the Shi Family will become the most loyal allies for generations to come," Shi Neng continued to report at this moment.

"Good! You've handled this matter well. Our Shi Family will have no worries in the future, and as long as the Ye Family stands, our Shi Family can be at ease," Hearing this, the Shi Family Patriarch was overjoyed.

"Someone, quickly prepare lavish gifts. In a month, I will personally lead a delegation to the Ye Family to present congratulatory gifts for their ascension to being a top-tier family," at the same time, the Shi Family Patriarch recalled something and quickly instructed.

Upon hearing this, Shi Neng was overjoyed.

Initially, he thought that the proud members of the Shi Family would not agree to get close to the Ye Family.

But unexpectedly, the Patriarch valued the Ye Family so highly, willing to personally travel to congratulate them, which meant their Shi Family and Ye Family would truly become an unbreakable alliance.

In the future, they would surely advance and retreat together, sharing life and death.

Thinking about it, Shi Neng was exhilarated.

Moreover, as news spread throughout the Shi Family, everyone in the Shi Family was excited, all very satisfied with the Ye Family, eager to ally with them.

"Ah? Did the Zhang Family suffer such a big loss this time? Good! That's great, they've bullied us enough, now it's our turn to retaliate."

"Exactly, we Shi Family had always been swallowing our anger, I've had enough of it. From now on, I will repay the Zhang Family double."

"However, while that may be the case with the Zhang Family, we shouldn't act like this towards other families; otherwise, what differentiates us from the Zhang Family?"

"True, speaking of which, we must thank the Ye Family. Where did the Ye Family suddenly emerge from? Why are they so ferocious? Not only did they wipe out the Guo Family, but they also severely injured the Zhang Family and crippled Zhang Wuji. Not only are they bold, but their strength is terrifying."

"It's said they emerged from the merger of the Feng Family, Gong Family, and Situ Family. Under their Patriarch's leadership, their power advanced rapidly, hence their formidable strength. Their Patriarch is truly monstrous."

"So that's the case. Now that the Ye Family has ascended to being the top-tier family, and with an alliance with our Shi Family, who dares to provoke us now?"

….

"Haha! Excellent! Well done, Zhang Family, for often shamelessly bullying us, and now they're screwed, aren't they?"

"Indeed, the time has finally come for our Shi Family to hold our heads high. I will definitely beat the crap out of those Zhang Family members."

"With the Shi Family and the Ye Family allied, we're practically invincible. Who could be our opponents in the future?"

"Who would have thought the Ye Family was so fierce, defeating even peak Martial Gods and crippling them. Truly monstrous."

"In the future, be polite to brothers from the Ye Family. We're family from now on."

….

At this moment, such remarks were being echoed throughout the Shi Family.

Everyone in the Shi Family seemed quite pleased with forming the alliance with the Ye Family, with some already eager to build connections with Ye Family members.

Some are happy, and some are sad. The Zhang Family was undoubtedly the sad party, while the Shi Family was the happy one.

Also happy were the families under the Shi Family's protection, while those under the protection of the Guo Family and Zhang Family were the sad ones.

Those under the Zhang Family's protection were somewhat better off, but those under the Guo Family's protection were extremely anxious following the Guo Family's downfall.

Many families could not wait to prepare lavish gifts and go directly to the Ye Family to seek forgiveness and protection.

What they offered to the Guo Family before would not be any less, but they worried that the Ye Family might refuse. If the Ye Family did, they would be in dire straits, bullied to death by the families they once oppressed.

In the past, they relied on the protection of the Guo Family to act with impunity.

But now, with the fall of the Guo Family, it would be a joke to expect any favor from others.

So, upon hearing the news, many families previously under the Guo Family rushed with gifts to the Ye Family, hoping to establish a connection.

….

At this time, Ye Feng's residence was already tidied up and decorated beautifully.

Just as Ye Feng was about to do something meaningful with Situ Jing, someone reported that there were visitors at the foot of the mountain.

Upon hearing that there were visitors so soon, Ye Feng frowned and prepared to meet them. After all, there was no harm in it; perhaps there might be some good news?
