After the destruction of the black magic and the Dragon Pattern Millstone together.

The protective white barrier around Ye Chenfeng and his companions also dissipated.

The black mist in the air disappeared completely as well.

The sunlight gently poured down from the sky, giving a sense of clearing after the storm, with the dark energy in the air evaporated, leaving a fresh atmosphere.

Just after Ye Chenfeng revealed his identity as the Dragon Clan’s Clan Leader, Zhao Shenghong, Zhao Jinpeng, and Zhao Wenyu, who were lying on the ground, immediately began to treat their injuries. After some time of adjustment, along with taking top-grade Healing Pills, they at least recovered part of their combat strength and were able to stand up from the ground.

Zhao Chenggao, Zhao Hongliang, and Zhao Qishu, their faces were filled with a defeated expression. Although Zhao Shenghong and others were heavily injured, they had now recovered part of their combat strength, while none of Zhao Chenggao and his group had truly stepped into the Divine King Realm, leaving them with no hope of defeating Zhao Shenghong and his companions, who had only partially regained their strength.

Zhao Feiyu, stripped of the black magic and reverted to his true form, watched as the black magic perished, and looked at the calm Ye Chenfeng not far away. Everything he had envisioned in his heart had ended, all ended by Ye Chenfeng’s own hands.

Originally, when Bai Xiaorou returned to the Nine Nether Ice Lion’s ancestral land, although Zhao Feiyu heard that Bai Xiaorou already had someone she liked, he never took it to heart. As a genius among the younger generation of the Nine Nether Ice Lion, few could compare to him, and he had heard that Ye Chenfeng only possessed the strength at the Peak of the sixth layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm.

But when Ye Chenfeng arrived at the Nine Nether Ice Lion’s ancestral land, everything exceeded Zhao Feiyu’s expectations. Reality had slapped him hard in the face, making him understand that there are always more extraordinary people. Zhao Feiyu in terms of talent and other aspects was easily outpaced by Ye Chenfeng, and with his ability, he couldn’t surpass Ye Chenfeng in any way.

Later, when Zhao Feiyu learned of Zhao Chenggao and others’ plan, his hope reignited. He wanted Ye Chenfeng to become his servant, and just then, when the black magic was about to parasitize his body, he felt extremely excited as the power of the black magic filled him. He originally could have used this body to completely trample Ye Chenfeng underfoot, seeing Ye Chenfeng barely survive beneath him.

However,

reality is cruel. In front of Ye Chenfeng, Zhao Feiyu was destined to only fail. After Ye Chenfeng revealed his identity as the Dragon Clan’s Clan Leader, Zhao Feiyu once again became an utterly laughable clown.

In Zhao Feiyu’s view, it was all Ye Chenfeng’s fault. If Ye Chenfeng had not appeared, he would have almost certainly married Bai Xiaorou and would become the clan leader of the Nine Nether Ice Lion in the future. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Such thoughts of a petty person are laughably absurd, and Zhao Feiyu failed to realize that Ye Chenfeng had never provoked him. It was he who continuously provoked Ye Chenfeng, and his miserable end was entirely his own fault.

The muscles on Zhao Feiyu’s cheek twitched continuously, his entire face appearing twisted. He was not resigned to ending like this, he wanted to become the clan leader of the Nine Nether Ice Lion and be the first in the ordinary lineage to become its leader, to break the rules of the Nine Nether Ice Lion, to be recorded in the annals of the Nine Nether Ice Lion Clan.

The momentum within Zhao Feiyu quickly spread, having lost all semblance of calm. His eyes were filled with endless anger. Like a madman, he dashed toward Ye Chenfeng, shouting, "It’s all your fault, if it weren’t for your appearance, I, Zhao Feiyu, would still be the number one genius in the Nine Nether Ice Lion, I wouldn’t end up like this."

As Zhao Feiyu charged, Zhao Shenghong and the others did not intervene, nodding toward Ye Chenfeng, indicating that he could eliminate Zhao Feiyu without hesitation, as they knew Ye Chenfeng’s power far surpassed that of Zhao Feiyu.

With a "swoosh" sound,

Zhao Feiyu felt momentarily dazed, his attack missing, as Ye Chenfeng’s figure vanished in front of him.

Very soon, Zhao Feiyu felt a pain in his chest, a force had already pierced his heart, with a fist-sized blood hole appearing at the location of his heart.

Turning his head with difficulty, Zhao Feiyu saw that Ye Chenfeng remained completely calm. His lips moved constantly, "I, I, I am, am, not, not ..."

His voice stopped abruptly.

Zhao Feiyu’s eyes were wide open, the vitality within completely vanished, and his body fell to the ground.

Despite everything, Zhao Feiyu, who reached the Peak of the third layer of the Heavenly God Realm, could provide some aid to Ye Chenfeng’s power enhancement, but he was not in a hurry to execute his skill Sea of All-embracing. It was better not to be seen when using Sea of All-embracing.

After Zhao Feiyu’s death, Ye Chenfeng’s gaze moved to the ordinary lineage people like Zhao Chenggao, candidly wishing Zhao Shenghong and others would kill a few more from the ordinary lineage, as he had no fondness for them, and they were merely stepping stones to enhance his power!

Upon seeing Zhao Feiyu’s death, Zhao Chenggao and the others’ expressions were filled with fear, as those who initially sided with them all turned to plead mercy from Zhao Shenghong and the others.

However, those clansmen who aligned with Zhao Chenggao and the others had their Sea of Consciousness all implanted with restrictions. Facing these clansmen begging for mercy, the late Divine King Realm Zhao Jinpeng waved his arm, instantly releasing a restrictive force into their Sea of Consciousness.

This restrictive force prevented the activation of the implanted restrictions in their Sea of Consciousness. Even if Zhao Chenggao and others who set the restrictions were killed, due to this restrictive force, these clansmen wouldn’t be affected immediately. As long as the implanted restrictions in their Sea of Consciousness are entirely removed in due time, they would not be harmed.

After all, among those who planted the restrictions in their Sea of Consciousness, the strongest level was only at a half-step Divine King level, so Zhao Jinpeng could easily hold the restrictions in their Sea of Consciousness in check. This technique is a unique skill within the Lion King Lineage, practiced only by the Clan Leaders and Ancestors of each generation.

Zhao Jinpeng said, "As none of you directly participated in this incident, I can give you a chance to redeem yourself, but once I find a way to eliminate the restrictions in your Sea of Consciousness, to prevent any similar incidents in the future, you must have a restriction of our Lion King Lineage planted in your Sea of Consciousness."

Upon seeing a glimmer of hope for survival, those clansmen who turned to Zhao Chenggao and his group did not hesitate, one by one heading towards Zhao Shenghong and the others, while Zhao Chenggao, Zhao Hongliang, and Zhao Qishu, seeing all was lost, tried to drag some of these fence-sitters to die with them.

Unfortunately, Zhao Shenghong, Zhao Jinpeng, and Zhao Wenyu had anticipated this, and naturally, they wouldn’t let Zhao Chenggao and the others get away with it, for they had committed an unforgivable error.

Without giving Zhao Chenggao and the others a chance to harm anyone, Zhao Shenghong and the others swiftly put them to death.

Looking at the corpses of Zhao Chenggao and the others, Zhao Shenghong and his companions felt not a shred of mercy.

Ye Chenfeng, seeing Zhao Chenggao, Zhao Hongliang, and Zhao Qishu had died, felt a slight sense of joy, since there were strong fighters at half-step Divine King level among them. He also knew that killing everyone who aligned with Zhao Chenggao was unrealistic.

Following Zhao Chenggao and the others’ deaths, the turmoil within the Nine Nether Ice Lion Clan today came to an end.

Zhao Shenghong, Zhao Jinpeng, and Zhao Wenyu approached Ye Chenfeng, showing respectful expressions. The ancestral teachings of the Lion King Lineage were clear that the Dragon Clan could be considered their benefactor, and during the Initial Stage of the Ancient Era, the Dragon Clan and the Nine Nether Ice Lion Clan were in a master-servant relationship of sorts.

Now with the Dragon Clan’s Clan Leader reemerging, how could Zhao Jinpeng and the others not show respect? Zhao Wenyu sternly addressed all the Nine Nether Ice Lion clansmen present, "Everyone, come and meet the Dragon Clan’s Clan Leader. From here on, the words of the Dragon Clan’s Clan Leader are the highest command within the Nine Nether Ice Lion Clan, and none shall defy it."

All three, Zhao Shenghong, Zhao Jinpeng, and Zhao Wenyu, simultaneously bowed to Ye Chenfeng. Zhao Shenghong said, "Our Nine Nether Ice Lion Clan is willing to follow you from now on. With the leadership of the Dragon Clan’s Clan Leader, our Nine Nether Ice Lion Clan is certain to relive the splendor of the Initial Stage of the Ancient Era."

After all, Zhao Shenghong and the others had witnessed many impossibilities manifest within Ye Chenfeng during the past few days.
