The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2366 - 2355: Oppressing Others with Power

Ye Chenfeng leisurely twirled the wine glass within his grasp.

He emanated an air of complete relaxation, as if he were simply taking a stroll through his own residence.

The intention to cripple Cheng Yuanmu, coupled with Zhou Yongwang and the other Zhou family experts' plan to forcibly abduct Cheng Yiyao, was about to be executed.

However, upon the reverberation of Ye Chenfeng’s mocking words, their actions came to an abrupt halt, and every gaze instantly swiveled towards him.

Every individual present had observed Ye Chenfeng arriving alongside Cheng Yuanmu and his contingent. His current nonchalant mockery prompted a flurry of questions: Who exactly is this Ye Chenfeng? Could he be a prodigy from an influential power or a renowned clan? Is he the undisclosed backing Cheng Yuanmu had apparently enlisted?

The assembled crowd buzzed with conjecture.

Their attempts to gauge Ye Chenfeng’s aura proved futile, revealing not even a trace of Spiritual Energy. This realization caused their expressions to shift into states of peculiarity. It was at this precise juncture that Cheng Nianjiang interjected, stating, "This young fellow hails from the Central Continent; do not allow yourselves to be deceived by his pretense."

Earlier.

After Cheng Nianjiang and his group parted ways with the Chengs, they had acquired the knowledge that Ye Chenfeng originated from the Central Continent. Now, witnessing a youth from that very region audaciously speaking out within the Zhou family’s domain struck them as utterly preposterous.

Upon hearing Cheng Nianjiang’s pronouncement, the other attendees were rendered momentarily speechless.

Considering his origin from the Central Continent and his apparent youth, how formidable could Ye Chenfeng possibly be? Among those gathered, a significant number were experts in the Heavenly God Realm and the Divine King Realm. To them, the idea that Ye Chenfeng, this mere youth from the Central Continent, could conceal his Spiritual Energy and aura so effectively that even their keen senses failed to detect it, was implausible. It suggested that Ye Chenfeng possessed no Spiritual Energy whatsoever.

It must be acknowledged that the ancient technique for sealing meridians, imparted to Ye Chenfeng by Old Bai and Old Hei, originated from a distant era. Employing such a method to seal one's meridians meant that only individuals who had genuinely attained the Divine Venerable Realm could perceive the subtle anomalies within Ye Chenfeng’s physical form. However, the most powerful individuals present had only reached the pseudo-Divine Venerable stage, a mere half-step into the Divine Venerable Realm.

The half-step Divine Venerable realm is not considered a true Divine Venerable Realm; rather, this stage serves as a transitional phase between the culmination of the Divine King Realm and the initial stages of the Divine Venerable Realm.

The formidable power demonstrated by a half-step Divine Venerable significantly surpasses that of the Peak Divine King Realm, yet it falls considerably short of the Early Divine Venerate Realm.

The Zhou family perceived Ye Chenfeng's intervention as a blatant act of disrespect, a mere fledgling from the Central Continent daring to meddle in their affairs.

Residing at the head of the True Dragon Hall, Zhou Yongwang and Zhou Zhande emanated a palpable aura of authority. This day marked Zhou Yongwang’s celebratory feast for achieving the half-step Divine Venerable stage, and consequently, they held no inclination to shed blood within the hallowed halls of the True Dragon Hall.

Standing beside Zhou Zhande was Zhou Tianlu, the most distinguished genius among the Zhou clan. He addressed the assembly, stating, "Esteemed Ancestor, this insignificant youth from the Central Continent hardly warrants your personal attention. Allowing him to perish within the True Dragon Hall would be beneath our dignity; permit me to escort him out and deal with the matter myself."

Zhou Hongjing further added, "I had not anticipated such leniency towards the Chengs, yet they continue to exhibit such unreasonable defiance. Today is my ancestor’s celebration, and no disruptions shall be tolerated."

Both Zhou Tianlu and Zhou Hongjing advanced towards Ye Chenfeng in unison. Zhou Zhande and Zhou Yongwang offered no objection. Upon learning that Ye Chenfeng was merely an individual from the Central Continent, what cause was there for concern? Furthermore, their sensory perceptions could not detect any Spiritual Energy emanating from him.

Cheng Yuanmu, Cheng Yiyao, and the aged steward had not foreseen Ye Chenfeng’s sudden vocalization, but their predicament prevented them from departing the Zhou family’s premises, rendering their concerns moot. Cheng Yuanmu cast a glance at Ye Chenfeng and remarked, "Brother, let us accompany each other on the Road to the Netherworld. Your unwavering loyalty to the Cheng family will forever be etched in my memory."

Cheng Yiyao observed Ye Chenfeng, who still held his wine glass with an unnervingly serene expression. Biting her lip as she watched Zhou Hongjing approach, she pleaded, "I care not if you show us no mercy, but he is merely from the Central Continent, someone we encountered by chance. He possesses not a shred of Spiritual Energy; simply let him depart! Should you grant him his freedom, I shall comply with your every command."

Hearing Cheng Yiyao’s plea on Ye Chenfeng's behalf caused Zhou Hongjing’s gaze to intensify with coldness. The Zhou family boasted two ancestors at the half-step Divine Venerable level and three experts at the Early Divine King Realm.

These three experts, holding sway in the Early Divine King Realm, positioned themselves to intercept Cheng Yuanmu, the elder steward, and Cheng Yiyao. Given that Zhou Tianlu and Zhou Hongjing intended to handle Ye Chenfeng personally, they were precluded from intervening.

Zhou Hongjing completely disregarded Cheng Yiyao’s impassioned words. Even before reaching Ye Chenfeng, his mid-stage aura, belonging to the seventh level of the Earth God Realm, surged forth like an unchecked torrent, directly assaulting Ye Chenfeng.

As the preeminent prodigy of the Zhou family, Zhou Tianlu refused to tolerate any disrespect towards his clan, especially from a mere youth originating from the Central Continent. His mid-stage Heavenly God Realm aura, equivalent to the first level, descended upon Ye Chenfeng with formidable force.

"Boom! Boom!" Two torrents of imposing aura slammed into Ye Chenfeng.

At this moment, Ye Chenfeng’s meridians were sealed, leaving him devoid of any aura or Spiritual Qi, relying solely on his physical prowess.

However, Zhou Tianlu and Zhou Hongjing were merely exerting pressure with their auras, not launching direct assaults. Consequently, with his mid-Divine Honor Realm physique, Ye Chenfeng was capable of withstanding the onslaught. Nonetheless, his grip on the wine glass tightened.

He declared, "It appears no one in Lingfeng City is willing to speak the truth? It's plainly the Zhou family acting aggressively, yet you dare to twist the facts."

"Why must you refuse reason? Why compel me to act?"

"Do you believe that possessing merely half-step Divine Venerable power allows the Zhou family to act without consequence? Since you refuse to engage in reason, I shall impart the meaning of reason to you through other means."

Ye Chenfeng's voice resonated throughout the True Dragon Hall.

Zhou Tianlu and Zhou Hongjing had initially anticipated that their aura pressure would, at the very least, force Ye Chenfeng to spew blood or even perish instantly, considering his lack of Spiritual Energy. Yet, Ye Chenfeng endured their oppressive auras and retorted, causing their brows to knit together.

Although Ye Chenfeng presented an unusual demeanor, given his youth, no matter how concealed his true strength might be, how formidable could he possibly become?

Their advance halted momentarily.

The meridian seals were self-imposed by Ye Chenfeng, and naturally, he could dispel them with ease. It seemed he would have to resort to entering his Demonization State after all!

Ye Chenfeng proceeded to unseal his meridians directly.

The Spiritual Qi River coursed through his meridians once more.

Seated at the head of the hall, Zhou Yongwang and Zhou Zhande were the first to perceive the alteration within Ye Chenfeng. Their expressions shifted drastically, and they instantly surged toward Ye Chenfeng from their positions, issuing simultaneous shouts.

"Hongjing, withdraw."

"Tianlu, return."
