Chapter 140: Investigating the Situation, Annihilation at Hand?

Ye Lang fell asleep. Inside the room, Jian Que and several other Sword Bones transformed into a few streaks of sword light and vanished.

They went to gather information.

The night passed uneventfully, and soon, the next day arrived.

“Ding Dong!”

A loud bell suddenly rang out, echoing throughout the entire Meng Family.

The members of the Meng Family looked towards the source of the bell sound in surprise and uncertainty.

This bell was specifically used by the Meng Family to summon core disciples!

Generally speaking, it wouldn’t be rung unless a major event occurred.

Soon, summoned by the bell, the core disciples of the Meng Family rushed towards the location of the bell, the Meng Family Martial Field.

Naturally, Ye Lang, with his status as the Meng Family’s Live-in Son-in-Law, could also be considered a core disciple, but he didn’t go.

Ye Lang had set up a barrier in his room beforehand, preventing the bell sound from entering. He was still sound asleep!

At this time, at the Meng Family Martial Field.

A haggard elder, with several middle-aged men and Meng Qingqing standing behind him, stood on the Martial Field.

That elder was the current strongest person in the Meng Family, Grand Elder Meng Changhe.

In front of them, the core disciples of the Meng Family, who had arrived one after another upon hearing the bell, stood obediently, waiting for the Grand Elder to speak.

Soon, over a hundred people gathered on the Martial Field.

“Are all the core disciples here?”

At this moment, Meng Changhe glanced at the crowd and asked a middle-aged man beside the crowd.

“Reporting to Grand Elder, everyone except Ye Lang is here.”

The middle-aged man was a deacon of the Meng Family, who had been paying attention to the attendees. He immediately replied upon hearing the question.

Upon hearing this, Meng Changhe’s already haggard face darkened even more.

This good-for-nothing had quite the airs!

Among the crowd, many core disciples of the Meng Family also whispered, mocking Ye Lang from afar.

Although there were rumors that Ye Lang seemed to be somewhat different now, without seeing it with their own eyes, they wouldn’t believe it at all.

Only the few who had been taught a lesson by Ye Lang yesterday exchanged glances without saying much.

“Hmph, anyway, he’s just a useless piece of trash.”

With a cold snort, Meng Changhe then looked at the crowd and said:

“You are all core disciples of my Meng Family. The reason I summoned you today is to… tell you something!”

“Our Meng Family is not a local family of Tianfeng City. The Xu, Huang, and Tan families have always been hostile towards us!”

“They have long coveted our Meng Family’s auction hall and Essence mine. Now that they have found backing, they will probably launch an invasion against our Meng Family soon!”

On the Martial Field, the Meng Family core disciples immediately fell silent, their expressions turning panicked.

They had not been aware of this news before.

“Grand Elder… then what should we do? Should we flee?”

A disciple asked in a panic.

With the three families joining forces to attack, and with backing, how could their Meng Family fight back?

“We can’t escape. The area around Tianfeng City was secretly guarded by people sent by the three families yesterday.”

Meng Changhe shook his head, a hint of worry appearing on his face.

As soon as these words were spoken, the hundreds of core disciples became even more panicked.

Doesn’t that mean… there’s only a dead end?

At the same time, while the Meng Family was worried, Ye Lang also woke up from his sleep.

Jian Que and the other swords, who had gone to gather information, had returned.

Inside the room, Ye Lang sat up from the bed and felt slightly, discovering that his cultivation had improved a little.

“Cultivation progress is a bit slow without my wife by my side.”

Ye Lang sighed slightly. When Yin Yanran slept with him, with the effect of the Shared Amplification Skill, his cultivation improved much faster than now.

Now that it had suddenly slowed down, he was still somewhat unaccustomed.

Thinking of this, the idea from before resurfaced in Ye Lang’s mind: finding a few Great Emperor Realm females to sleep beside him!

What kind of cultivation growth rate would that be?

Moreover, the effective range of his skill was two meters. How many could he sleep with?

“The Dark Wolf organization seems to have female assassins. If there’s a chance, it wouldn’t hurt to try.”

Ye Lang thought to himself. He wasn’t doing anything else, just for the sake of rapid cultivation growth!

A win-win!

Shaking his head, Ye Lang temporarily suppressed these thoughts, turned his head to look at the returned Sword Bones.

“Did you find out everything?”

Ye Lang asked.

“Yes, Master, we have found out everything.”

Jian Que vibrated its sword body and replied respectfully.

Yesterday, it and the other swords had infiltrated the three families separately.

Relying on their strength far surpassing the Sovereign Realm, their innate speed, and their inhuman appearance, they managed to gather information without much effort.

Even more detailed than the Meng Family themselves.

“Come, tell me.”

Ye Lang said, sitting on the bed.

Immediately, Jian Que told Ye Lang everything they had learned.

After listening, Ye Lang fell into deep thought.

According to Jian Que, the three families were indeed enemies of the Meng Family.

They were local families of Tianfeng City and had always been hostile towards the Meng Family, an outsider family.

However, the Meng Family’s strength was not weak, and it wouldn’t be easy to take them down.

But now, they had the support of a few young masters from the Imperial Capital, which was why they decided to make a move!

The specific time for attacking the Meng Family was eight days later, when the powerful individuals from the Imperial Capital called by those young masters arrived.

“In that case, it’s not enough to just deal with these three families.”

Ye Lang thought to himself, having already made a decision.

He planned to wait and see, sleep for another eight days, and then decide.

See what kind of power was behind the Imperial Capital young masters.

If it wasn’t strong, he would wipe them all out!

If it was strong, he would inevitably have to resort to his identity as the Dark Night Wolf Emperor.

Coming back to his senses, Ye Lang stored Jian Que and the other swords back into the Sword Bone Space, and then continued to sleep.

No matter what, cultivation growth could not be delayed.

He still wanted to return to the Nine Heavens Continent early.

…

Seven days quickly passed.

During these days, the Meng Family was constantly in fear, worried that the three families would attack at any moment.

The entire Meng Family was shrouded in an atmosphere of despair.

Under these circumstances, no one had the time to care about Ye Lang anymore.

This allowed him to sleep peacefully in his room for eight days.

His cultivation was only a hair’s breadth away from breaking through to the Emperor Realm.

And at this time.

In Tianfeng City, within the Huang Family, one of the four great families.

Hundreds of Huang Family members had gathered on the Martial Field, their faces filled with excitement.

At the front of the crowd, Huang Tianming, the Family Head of the Huang Family, was bowing respectfully beside a young man.

The young man had a beautiful woman in his arms.

“Young Master Zhang, the other two families are also ready. We can set off.”

Huang Tianming said respectfully and cautiously.

The young man nodded, his tone relaxed:

“It’s just a small family without even a single Emperor Realm expert.”

“With Old Mo and the others, they can be annihilated with a flip of the hand.”
