King of Creation-Chapter 51 - Return It Tenfold, Hundredfold!

Only after Ye Zhen had ridden away did the guard wipe off his cold sweat, still frightened by the intensity of that gaze, which made him feel as lifeless as a corpse.

He had felt this kind of presence before only from the Prefectural Colonel, a Chiliarch who had retired from the battlefield after taking countless lives.

In fact, that glance was not intentional on Ye Zhen’s part; it was merely a warning look because he saw the guard’s unfriendly expression.

But what Ye Zhen didn’t realize was that, having slaughtered hundreds of bandits alone on Qingniu Mountain, he unintentionally carried an Iron Blood Evil Qi in his every move, coupled with his extraordinary cultivation, which was not something ordinary people could withstand.

The Ye Family had always been a prominent clan in Gold City County, and its members were incredibly numerous.

It was said that one-third of the population in Gold City County bore the Ye surname.

Thus, in Gold City County, the clan’s power was hugely formidable.

The first thing a new County Magistrate did was to pay respects to the Ye Family Patriarch and the clan elders.

The Ye Family had numerous branches, and Ye Zhen’s branch had once flourished greatly.

Hence, they had a large mansion in the town, which had, however, declined over the last four generations.

Approaching his home, Ye Zhen was contemplating how to joyfully announce to his parents his achievement.

After all, becoming an Outer Disciple was what his parents, the Ye Tiancheng couple, most anticipated.

Now, not only had he achieved this goal, but he had far surpassed it.

It was time to let his parents know and make them truly proud.

Just as he dismounted and turned into the alley, a series of heart-wrenching curses suddenly filled Ye Zhen’s ears.

“Who dares, who dares to take another step forward, I’ll fight them to the death.”

“Everyone back off, those hundred acres of field were earned by the lives of the Ye ancestors, no one can take that away…”

The cries were desperate but painfully familiar.

“It’s Mother!”

Ye Zhen’s expression changed drastically, and without even bothering to lead his horse, he dashed toward the inside of the Ye Family Mansion.

Inside the Ye Family Mansion, Ye Zhen’s father was slumped at the threshold, covering his chest with his hand and with traces of blood at the corners of his mouth, appearing to have been seriously injured.

Ye Zhen’s mother, Mi Jiangxue, with her hair disheveled, was waving a kitchen knife at five or six burly men, continuously cursing.

“Ye Mi, this is the clan’s decision, and you can’t fight it.

Don’t think I can’t handle you just because you’re throwing a tantrum.

If I weren’t worried about getting a reputation for bullying a woman, I could settle you with just a finger,” Ye Mansion’s Housekeeper Ye Zhi’an shouted.

“Just hand over the deed, don’t force me to act!” Ye Zhi’an threatened to press her further.

“You dare!”

“You dare!”

Two angry shouts rang out simultaneously.

The first, rather weak, came from the injured Ye Tiancheng collapsed on the ground.

The latter was Ye Zhen’s furious shout, booming like spring thunder and causing the ears of everyone in the Ye Mansion to ache.

The moment the crowd from the Ye Mansion turned to look, Ye Zhen, like a gust of wind, rushed inside and blocked those in front of him; two family servants directly collided with him and were sent tumbling away.

“Mother, are you alright!”

Seeing Ye Zhen appear, his mother Mi Jiangxue, standing alone against the mansion’s people, softened, and would have fallen if not for Ye Zhen’s timely support.

After steadying his mother, Ye Zhen quickly checked his father, Ye Tiancheng’s pulse.

Feeling a slight relief, his father’s injuries weren’t too severe; he had only suffered internal shock.

Seeing her son return, Mi Jiangxue seemed to find a pillar of support, leaning softly into Ye Zhen’s arms, and not forgetting to hand him a wooden box.

“My child, you’re finally back.

These murderous villains claim that our hundred acres of ancestral property is clan property and want to reclaim it.

Be careful, even if it costs us our lives, we can’t hand it over to them!”

“Don’t listen to your mother, just give it to them…” Ye Tiancheng gasped as he grabbed Ye Zhen by the shoulder.

“Father, Mother, rest a while, let me handle this,” Ye Zhen said, quickly feeding his father a healing pill, tears brimming in his eyes as he stood up abruptly.

“Ye Zhen, you’re back, good timing.

You being the eldest son of this branch, just take care of this matter.

This is the clan’s decision, take a look!” Ye Zhi’an coughed lightly, handing a sheet of paper to Ye Zhen.

“Who injured my father?” Ye Zhen, staring down at the document Ye Zhi’an handed over, showed no intention of accepting it and asked loudly.

“Speak, who injured my father!”

Ye Zhen’s repeated angry shouts intimidated the Ye Mansion’s servants so much that their eyes turned towards Ye Zhi’an.

Seeing this, Ye Zhi’an shouted back, “Ye Zhen, watch your words.

By seniority, I am your clan uncle.

Your father refused to follow the clan’s decision, so I injured him.

What about it?”

“Is it you?”

Ye Zhen’s expression turned fierce, and his gaze fixed firmly on Ye Zhi’an as he stepped toward him.

Intimidated by Ye Zhen’s aura, Ye Zhi’an was initially shocked, then burst out angrily, “What, you learned a few tricks outside and now dare to bare your teeth at your elder, watch how I teach you a lesson?”

Amidst his furious shouting, Ye Zhi’an threw a punch directly at Ye Zhen’s chest.

A disdainful look flashed through Ye Zhen’s eyes.

The punch’s speed, which came from the peak of the Fourth Stage of Blood Training, was laughably slow to him.

True Essence flickered from Ye Zhen’s fingertips, and remembering that his parents were right behind him, especially as his mother had been greatly frightened today and could bear no more shocks, the surging killing intent was forcibly suppressed by Ye Zhen.

It was fortunate that Ye Zhi’an hadn’t struck Mi Jiangxue earlier; otherwise, the moment Ye Zhen charged in, he would have taken Ye Zhi’an’s head.

Ye Zhi’an was unaware that, at that instant, he had barely skirted death at the Ghost Gate, but even so, in Ye Zhen’s eyes, he was already as good as dead.

Bang!

Ye Zhen met the attack with a punch, devoid of any fancy technique and without even using True Essence Power, relying solely on his body’s pure physical strength.

Crack!

Ye Zhi’an’s right arm bent at an incredible angle, causing him to scream like a slaughtered pig, but the nightmare was just beginning.

Bang Bang Bang!

With several successive strikes, Ye Zhen completely broke both arms and legs of Ye Zhi’an, and with one final punch, sent him flying backward, blood spraying wildly.

“Which hand touched my dad?” Ye Zhen rushed to the blood-spraying Ye Zhi’an and roared.

“Ye Zhen, you….”

As the wailing Ye Zhi’an tried to say something, Ye Zhen’s foot viciously stomped down.

Crunch crunch crunch.

A grating sound abruptly erupted, causing Ye Zhi’an to scream uncontrollably.

In a flash, Ye Zhen had crushed Ye Zhi’an’s right arm to pieces.

As Ye Zhen was about to stomp down again, his father’s voice, Ye Tiancheng, came from behind, “Zhen’er, stop!”

It was only then that the Ye Mansion’s servants realized what was happening.

They cried out in alarm and tried to flee the Ye Family Mansion, but Ye Zhen was not about to let them get away.

With one kick for every person, he sent them all out of the courtyard—everyone injured, with the least severe having three broken ribs.

This was still under the restraint of Ye Zhen’s father’s plea.

Otherwise, given the surge in Ye Zhen’s murderous instincts recently, these men would’ve fared no better than Ye Zhi’an.

“Wait, come back!” Just as the Ye Mansion’s servants were about to flee, they were stopped by a fierce shout from Ye Zhen.

“Carry this old dog out for me, so he doesn’t dirty my courtyard.”

A few of the limping, arm-and-leg-broken servants of Ye Mansion wailed as they lifted the severely injured Ye Zhi’an and were about to leave, but Ye Zhen called to them again.

“Hold on!”

At the call of Ye Zhen, Ye Zhi’an, who was still screaming, shuddered.

He had fully tasted Ye Zhen’s terror and was terrified that Ye Zhen would process him further.

Approaching him, Ye Zhen took out the land deed from the wooden box his mother fiercely protected and shook it at Ye Zhi’an saying, “Aren’t you guys wanting this deed?

Let me tell you, young master here doesn’t care for it!”

Ye Zhi’an was already frantically shaking his head.

Now, even with ten times the courage, he wouldn’t dare take that deed.

Slap!

Ye Zhen slapped both the wooden box and the land deed onto Ye Zhi’an’s face, causing multiple bruises all over his face.

The frightened Ye Zhi’an was so scared by Ye Zhen’s action that he rolled his eyes back—fainted.

“Get out!”

With just one word from Ye Zhen, the few servants of Ye Mansion scrambled away, fearing they might not run fast enough.

“Zhen’er, that is the heritage our ancestors fought for, how could you just give it to them?” Mi Jiangxue, who had been enjoying the scene, suddenly complained.

“It’s okay, Zhen’er did the right thing, cough cough cough, it’s just today…” After saying a few words, his father, Ye Tiancheng, began to cough violently.

Ye Zhen quickly moved closer to pound his father’s back, “Dad, Mom, don’t worry, however much they take today, they’ll have to return it tenfold, a hundredfold!”

“Really?”

Mother Mi Jiangxue’s eyes lit up, but father Ye Tiancheng wore a worried expression, “After today’s incident, I’m afraid the Ye Mansion won’t let things lie!”
