Invincible Martial God System

Chapter 62 It's your turn, Second Elder

The veins of the leaf turned green at a visible speed, clearly indicating that it was in great pain, its face contorted with agony.

But he couldn't make a sound, as if his throat had been choked by the poison gas.

After struggling for a moment, Ye Mai stopped moving and died on the ground.

Several servants of the Ye family saw this clearly, and fear filled their eyes. None of them dared to linger and fled as fast as they could.

At this moment, another group of about ten people emerged from the forest.

They are from the Wang family of Dongliu City.

"Hey, isn't this Brother Ye Mai? What happened to you?" Wang Dayu said with a hint of mockery.

Leaf Vein, naturally, could no longer answer and lay motionless on the ground.

"Haha, the arrogant Brother Ye, so he's dead."

Before Wang Dayu finished speaking, he turned his head to look in another direction and noticed Leng Yun, but was startled by her appearance.

"You—how did you become like this!"

Leng Yun didn't say anything and turned to leave.

"Stop!" Wang Dayu shouted. Although he sensed Leng Yun's powerful aura, he was confident in his superior numbers. "Did you kill Ye Mai?"

Leng Yun glanced at the other person sideways: "What? You want revenge?"

"Haha, I'm not that close to Brother Ye yet, but since you've offended the Ye family, that Ye Buluo isn't someone you can easily deal with," Wang Dayu laughed.

Leng Yun was also aware that among the four cities in the Northern Territory, the Leng family was the weakest, because the entire Flame City was divided among the four families, and they did not want any other city to be dominated by a single family.

"I think you've already obtained the Heart-Driving Cauldron, so why not hand it over to me? We, the people of Dongliu City, will protect your Leng family, how about that?" Wang Dayu said, appearing very helpful.

Leng Yun sneered: "No need. Although the Leng family is not doing well, we don't need anyone else's protection."

"Hmph! You really don't know what's good for you!" Wang Dayu said angrily. "Hand over the stuff today, and I'll spare your life!"

Just as Leng Yun was about to speak, he suddenly felt his strength rapidly draining away, and his body size returned to its original size. The effects of the Asura Transformation disappeared.

He himself felt as if his body had been hollowed out, having already exhausted a great deal of physical strength.

Wang Dayu could naturally see this change, and he said smugly, "How about it? Hand over the treasure to me, and I guarantee you'll get out alive. Otherwise, you'll be trapped and die in this swamp without us even having to lift a finger."

Wang Dayu is right. Leng Yun's current strength is insufficient to make him reach the outside of the Great Swamp. He will be exhausted and attacked by the surrounding poisonous gas, and will die like Ye Mai.

After all, it takes a long time to get out of the swamp from here, unless—

Leng Yun swallowed two Qi-raising pills, and suddenly a pair of large cyan wings appeared behind him, with flames burning around the wings!

"Since we can't get out by walking, let's fly out!"

Crossing a large swamp on land might take several kilometers, but flying vertically out of the swamp takes less than 30 meters.

With a flap of Nanming Li Huo Wings, Leng Yun flew into the sky and instantly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Wang Dayu stared at the magnificent and enormous wings, speechless for a long time. Now he finally knew who the godlike figure who possessed the firebird Vermilion Bird was in the sky above Flame City some time ago.

……

Ye City, Ye Family Mansion, Council Hall.

Ye Buluo sat in the highest position with a gloomy face, not even glancing at the few people who came back to report.

The Ye family suffered heavy losses on this treasure hunt, losing six True Martial Realm experts, one of whom was Ye Buluo's nephew, Ye Mai, the future successor of Ye City.

Ye Mai was considered the top expert in Ye City besides Ye Buluo, yet he was killed by Leng Yun.

"Hmph, if it weren't for the young master expending so much energy in the water, he might not have been a match for Leng Yun!" one of the people present said resentfully.

“That’s right, Leng Yun is really despicable. We later found out that he tricked us into luring away those fishmen, and then he took advantage of the situation and stole the treasure,” another person said.

Ye Buluo remained silent. No matter what, Ye Mai was dead, and the Heart-Driving Cauldron had been taken away by Leng Yun.

The revenge for Ye Mai must be taken, but right now the most important thing is to reclaim the Heart-Driving Cauldron.

"Someone, go to Linglong Mansion in Southern Xinjiang and invite Elder Wan here."

"Yes"

……

After returning to the Leng family, Leng Yun rested for three days and finally regained her strength.

Now, seven out of ten days have passed, and Leng Yun knows that she can't delay any longer.

"Young Master Yun, the family meeting has already started. Aren't you going over?" Leng Qing walked into the room, swinging her long ponytail.

"Has the Second Elder arrived?" Leng Yun asked lazily.

"He's here. He's presiding over today's meeting. They say you acted without authorization and ruined the Leng family's chance to compete for the treasure," Leng Qing said angrily.

Leng Yun jumped off the bed: "Hey, that old fox, he really won't act until he sees the rabbit."

It turned out that Leng Yun had not publicized the fact that he had obtained the Heart-Driving Cauldron, so the Leng family thought that Leng Yun had not obtained the treasure.

At this moment, the Second Elder, who had not yet made a move, suddenly convened a family meeting, intending to use this opportunity to impeach Leng Yun.

When Leng Yun entered the family's meeting hall, a heated discussion was taking place inside.

“I think Young Master Yun has done a lot for our Leng family and is very capable. Even if he didn’t do well this time, he shouldn’t be impeached.”

“I take the Second Elder’s advice. Leng Yun is too young and not suitable to be the head of the Leng family.”

The conference hall immediately fell silent when Leng Yun appeared.

"Hmph! You really have no manners, daring to be so late for a meeting!" The Second Elder spoke arrogantly, looking very dignified.

Leng Yun didn't say anything, but just shrugged, indicating that she didn't care.

"Leng Yun! Today, in my capacity as the Second Elder of the Leng family, I hereby dismiss you from your positions as the Third Elder and the Head of the Leng family!" the Second Elder declared.

"That's not fair! Young Master Yun didn't do anything wrong!" Leng Qing's face turned red with anger as she stepped forward to argue.

The second elder snorted, "What an unruly little brat! If she dares to talk back to me again, she'll be dealt with according to the family rules!"

"That's right, there are no rules. Now everyone has to listen to the Second Elder!"

"That's right! The First Elder is in seclusion, so the Second Elder has the final say on everything!"

Another jeer erupted from below.

"Haha, Leng Yun, what about you? I still have the right to control you! Don't think you can do whatever you want!" The Second Elder's plan succeeded, and he thought he had eliminated the threat of Leng Yun.

So, he unconsciously became more talkative than usual: "Now, unless you can challenge me, but unfortunately, you don't have enough contribution points—"

"Boom."

The Second Elder's words were interrupted by a muffled thud, and a large green cauldron appeared in front of Leng Yun.

“Your four accomplices have been defeated by me. Now—it’s your turn, Second Elder!”
