Chapter 692: The Situ Family

“What place is this?” Ye Feng looked at the vast golden desert and turned to Yin Ling’er and the others. Besides Jin Wen and Luo Yan, he had also brought Yin Ling’er and the rest on this trip to the Void Realm. Their cultivation levels met the requirements, and they were very familiar with everything in the Void Realm.
Jin Wen and Luo Yan, influenced by Ye Feng’s life force, quickly raised their cultivation to the same Break Truth level as Ye Feng. As for Yin Ling’er and the other two, influenced by Luo Yan, their cultivation was no longer restricted by his level; they even broke through to the peak of Half Truth Realm, just one step away from entering the Truth Realm.
“This is Jinsha Ridge. At the end of the desert, there’s a huge mountain made of sand, hence the name. The boss of this area is a Sand Beast at the peak of Break Void level, living inside that mountain,” Yin Ling’er explained.
“Where is the Situ family where Situ Xuan’er is from? And where is the Shangguan family where Shangguan Junyi is from?” These were the two things Ye Feng wanted to know most.
“The Situ family is located in the central-southern part of the Void Realm and is one of the five major families there. As for the Shangguan family, it’s in the central-western part and is the leader of those five major families. But in terms of true strength, it’s far more powerful than the other four combined. That’s because they not only have people in higher primary planes but also have ancestors who are powerful beings from the highest planes,” Yin Ling’er explained the overall situation. “The desert we’re in now is in the northwestern part of the Void Realm. Where should we go first?”
“Naturally, we should go to the Situ family first to pay a visit,” Ye Feng said, looking at Yin Ling’er again. “Do you have a map? Mark these three locations, including where we are.”
Yin Ling’er immediately took out a crystal ball, which displayed a map of the entire Void Realm. She marked them: “The white dot is where we are now. The blue one is the Situ family’s location, and the red one is the Shangguan family’s.”
“One person take one, follow me,” Ye Feng said, turning to Jin Wen and Luo Yan. As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up Yin Ling’er and disappeared.
Jin Wen and Luo Yan also picked up Yin Ba and Yin Hong respectively and chased after them.
In just a few breaths, Ye Feng and the others appeared above the Situ family’s residence.
“Who are you?!” Their arrival immediately alerted the Situ family, and several patrol servants shouted at Ye Feng and the others.

Ye Feng and his group slowly descended and said to those people, “I am a friend of Miss Situ. I came here specially to pay a visit. Please help convey this message to her.”
“Apologies, but our Situ family has been busy preparing for a wedding recently and cannot receive guests. You should come back three days from now when the wedding banquet takes place,” said one of the servants, whose clothes were slightly different, seemingly the supervisor. He wasn’t rude, but he refused to let them in.
“But I really have an urgent matter to discuss with Miss Situ,” Ye Feng said, frowning slightly. He didn’t want to force his way into the Situ family’s residence either.
“Well, if you truly have an urgent matter, you can tell me first, and I’ll pass it on to her. This way, your urgent matter won’t be delayed, and you can leave peacefully as well,” the supervisor insisted on not letting Ye Feng and his group enter.
With no other choice, Ye Feng nodded. “Then tell Miss Situ that Ye Feng has come to visit. If she has time, she should come out to see me.”
“Well…” The supervisor looked somewhat troubled.
“If she refuses to see me, I can leave right away,” Ye Feng said, frowning slightly.
“To be honest, since she returned, she has kept herself locked up. Not even her father or the maid, Lüluo, can see her even once a day. Under normal circumstances, I might be able to ask for permission, but now…” The supervisor looked troubled.
“Then ask Lüluo to come out and see me. She knows me,” Ye Feng suddenly thought of Lüluo. “Just say that Ye Feng has come to pay a visit and wants her to deliver a message to Miss Situ.”
“Alright, please wait a moment. I’ll be right back,” the supervisor said before leaving immediately.
Almost at the same time, a middle-aged man with fierce eyes and thick brows suddenly opened his eyes. “Three peak cultivators at the Half-True Realm?! What brings you to our Situ family?”
He stood up and strode out of the room. With just one step, he appeared at the entrance, bowing to Ye Feng and his group from afar. “I am Situ Zhengnan. I wonder what brings you all to our Situ family?”
Upon closer inspection, he realized there were not three people at the entrance but six. This shocked him greatly. “There are three more who managed to completely evade my detection. What level of cultivation do they have? Who are these people?”
“Sir, I am a friend of Miss Situ. I came here specially today,” Ye Feng said. Hearing that the other person also shared the surname Situ, he guessed it was likely an elder of Situ Xuan. He didn’t dare to be rude and returned the bow.

“A friend of my daughter?” Situ Zhengnan was taken aback. He had no idea how his daughter, who hardly ever left home, could have friends with such high cultivation levels, and not just one or two, but six at that. “If they’re my daughter’s friends, why are they standing at the gate? Come on, come in quickly.”
He turned to the servants nearby and said, “Prepare tea in the main hall. Hurry up.”
“Yes, sir!” The servants immediately dispersed.
“Uncle Situ, let’s wait a bit longer until Miss Lüluo arrives,” Ye Feng said. He hadn’t expected Situ Xuan’s father to be so welcoming. He decided to wait for Lüluo first so she wouldn’t end up at the gate in vain.
“You still know Lüluo?” Situ Zhengnan raised his eyebrows. He immediately realized that Ye Feng’s claim that he was Situ Xuan’s friend must be true. After all, Lüluo was Situ Xuan’s personal maid, known only to those inside the mansion; outsiders were unaware of her existence.
A moment later, Lüluo rushed over and spotted Ye Feng at once. She happily exclaimed, “Ye Feng! It really is you!”
But then she saw Situ Zhengnan beside him and stuck out her tongue. “Good day, sir!”
“How is Xuan? Is she still throwing tantrums?” Situ Zhengnan asked with a smile.
“The young lady has been like this these past few days, but it will get better soon,” Lüluo nodded.
“I’ve been too busy preparing for the wedding these days. Please keep an eye on her for me,” Situ Zhengnan sighed deeply before turning and saying, “Let’s go to the main hall to talk.”
“Uncle Situ is so busy; we shouldn’t take up your time,” Ye Feng shook his head. “I came here just to persuade Miss Situ not to marry that Shangguan Junyi.”
“Nephew, you don’t know the whole story. I also don’t want my daughter to marry him. The Shangguan family is indeed very powerful. If we resist forcefully, there will be heavy casualties. I originally planned to dismiss all the servants and scatter, so that Xuan and I could flee to another realm. But the decision to get married was made by Xuan herself. She said it’s useless no matter where we run.” Situ Zhengnan frowned and shook his head helplessly.
“What if I kill Shangguan Junyi?” A fierce look flashed in Ye Feng’s eyes.
“Shangguan Junyi has reached the True Realm level. Even I might not be able to defeat him. Moreover, his grandfather is also a top-tier warrior in the higher realms. With such a grandson, if you kill him, you’ll likely never live in peace once you ascend to those higher realms. The Shangguan family even has an ancient ancestor who is a powerful warrior from an even higher realm…”

“It’s fine. My dad is also a powerful being from a higher plane. You’ve surely heard of the name ‘Immortal,’ right?” Ye Feng smiled. “I’m the one who destroyed the Shangguan family of the Illusory Realm; even their ancestor doesn’t dare to touch me.”
