239: Second stage of the Transformation Realm

Lü Tan tossed the sha long spear over without hesitation, saying, "I'll notify you three days before the Secret Realm opens."

"Good! young clan leader Lü is decisive. Let's go!"

Now that the two strongest factions had been sent away, none of the remaining ones dared to make a move on Lü Tan.

An Elder from the Wu Family, at the seventh stage of the Profound Emperor Realm, stepped forward and said, "young clan leader Lü, all the resources are now in the hands of your major factions, but according to the Forbidden Ground agreement, our minor factions should also receive some slots to enter the Sha Long Secret Realm."

Lü Tan said indifferently, "You will be notified in due time!"

"Good! However, the Xuan Lei Sect has some personal grievances with my Wu Family. I hope you will not interfere in this matter!"

Lü Tan's tone shifted, "Before the Sha Long Secret Realm opens, my Lü Family will protect the Xuan Lei Sect!"

"You... Is this the Lü Family's intention?"

"I am the young clan leader of the Lü Family. My words carry some weight. I hope you will not cause more trouble here. Let everything wait until after the Sha Long Secret Realm opens."

The Wu Family Elder frowned, flicked his sleeve, and said, "We're leaving!"

The remaining minor factions had nothing more to say and could only leave the Xuan Lei Sect one after another.

Jiang Ye laughed, "Truly worthy of being the young clan leader of a Hidden Family. You handle matters decisively and cleanly."

Lü Tan said, "Wouldn't it be better for everyone to save their strength for the competition inside the Secret Realm? After all, this matter cannot be kept secret, and only you know the location of the Secret Realm. This way, no one has to worry about being left behind."

"Hehe, fine! Then give us some intelligence about the Secret Realm first."

Lü Tan tossed him a map, saying, "The marked locations on this map all have a chance of containing those three items. I'll head back to prepare now. Farewell!"

With Lü Tan stepping forward as guarantor, no Forbidden Ground factions would come to trouble the Xuan Lei Sect for a while. Jiang Ye suddenly felt like leaving the Profound Realm and returning home. Since he had to return to the Southern Domain eventually anyway, he might as well go back early to see his family.

After discussing with Shi Feng and Shi Bao, Jiang Ye directly took Wu Linglong home with him the next day.

Middle Profound Domain

In the front courtyard of a large compound within the Jiang Family estate, a nine-year-old girl was sitting by a small stone table, holding an infant less than a year old, occasionally playing with the baby.

At that moment, above the Jiang Family estate, *Rip!* Space tore open, and Jiang Ye stepped out with Wu Linglong.

Suddenly, an angry shout from a young boy rang out: "You pieces of trash, haven't you had enough?! Die, Solar Flame Fist!!!"

"Huh?" Startled by the immense power, Jiang Ye and his companion immediately unleashed his strongest lightning defense.

"Ninefold Thunder God Shield!!"

Nine massive lightning shields instantly formed, blocking the force head-on.

*Boom boom boom boom boom...*

The moment their powers clashed, Jiang Ye instantly realized the Ninefold Thunder God Shield couldn't hold!

"Divine Technique, God Slaying Body!" He immediately activated the strongest protective power of his God Slaying Bloodline Power!

*BOOM!!!* "Urgh..."

Jiang Ye was still sent flying. The instant Jiang Ye blocked the attack, he had Wu Linglong tear through space to escape immediately. Otherwise, without his powerful defensive Cultivation Technique, she would have undoubtedly died!

Jiang Ye roared angrily, "Who dares to cause trouble in my Jiang Family?!"

On the other side, the attacker was also surprised that his punch hadn't annihilated the other party! A nearly identical voice echoed back: "Where did this trash come from, daring to cause trouble in my Jiang Family?!"

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

Both sides realized something was off. Slowly flying closer for a look, the young boy exclaimed in surprise, "Big Brother? You're back?"

Jiang Ye frowned, utterly shocked, then cursed, "You little bastard! Can't you see who you're fighting before attacking?! I almost got blasted to death by you!"

Seeing they knew each other, Wu Linglong flew over from a distance.

"Young Master, who is this child? How is he so strong?"

"It's a long story. I'll explain later, you little bastard!"

Little Stone also flew up to Jiang Ye, saying innocently, "Big Brother, you can't blame me! Who told you not to use the main gate and appear in the sky instead? I've already blasted two groups of people to oblivion."

Jiang Ye was taken aback, "Huh? What happened at home?"

"Over the past few days, quite a few people showed up. They'd ask if this was Jiang Ye's home, then attack. I had no choice but to kill them."

"Didn't you ask who they were?"

Little Stone scratched his head, "Uh... The first group, when I beat them until they begged for mercy, they said they were from some Forbidden Ground or Hidden Su Family. Just an hour ago, some people from the Wu Family came. I thought they were the same ones returning, so I figured I'd just blast them to death."

Jiang Ye looked at him, asking curiously, "When did you become so strong, kid?"

"Well... hehehe, I'm probably at what you call on this continent... Profound Transformation Realm, second stage. But, Big Brother, you're amazing! I used about eighty percent of my power just now, and I still couldn't kill you!" Little Stone said with an astonished look.

"You want to finish me off, is that it? Huh? What did you just say? Profound Transformation Realm, second stage!!"

Wu Linglong was also shocked, "Isn't that the Realm above the Profound Emperor Realm?"

Jiang Ye stared wide-eyed at Little Stone, exclaiming, "Holy crap! How did you manage that?"

Little Stone wore a casual expression, "I just recovered a bit of my Bloodline Power, that's all."

Jiang Ye laughed helplessly, "Hehe, compared to that, my former Pure Yang Body is worse than dog shit, though it's already been devoured and fused by my other Bloodline now. Let's go, I'll go down to see Xiao Qi first. I sensed she was alone in the courtyard just now."

Little Stone glanced at Wu Linglong and said, "Big Brother, where did you find this maid? She's really beautiful!"

"Get lost! This is your sister-in-law. Hurry up and greet her properly."

"Huh? You're getting married?"

"Can't I get married?!!"

"Oh, hello, Sister-in-law! I'm Little Stone!"

Wu Linglong smiled slightly, "Hello, I'm Wu Linglong."

Little Stone suddenly burst out laughing, "Hahaha! Now the old master is going to throw a huge banquet again! We'll have good food!"

Jiang Ye smiled at Wu Linglong and said, "See! I told you, with my grandfather's personality, he'd definitely throw a big celebration for several days as soon as you arrived."

"Hehehe, your family members are all so lovely."

Without disturbing anyone else, the group quietly arrived at a courtyard and saw Jiang Xiaoqi there holding a baby.

Jiang Ye walked over with a beaming smile, "Xiao Qi, I'm back! Hahaha!"

"Brother!" Jiang Xiaoqi's little face lit up with joy, blooming like a small flower, then immediately changed expression, "Hmph! You've been away for so long again. Our little brother is almost ready to walk."

Jiang Ye's mind buzzed, "You... what did you say? This is our brother?"

"Yes! He was born six months ago."

"I... I... Hahaha!! This is my little brother!! Come, come, let big brother hold you. Oh my, this is my little brother, hahaha!!!" Jiang Ye happily took his baby brother into his arms.

"Huh? Brother, who is this big sister? She's so beautiful!" Jiang Xiaoqi pointed at Wu Linglong.

"Oh, this is your sister-in-law. I brought her back to meet you all."

Jiang Xiaoqi jumped up from the stone stool, her face blossoming into a smile as she looked at Wu Linglong and said, "Really? Are you really my sister-in-law?"
