Nine Revolutions Star Technique-Chapter 547 - 551: Ye Family Ancestral Land

"Cyan Cloud City, huh!"

Walking down the streets of Cyan Cloud City, Ye Qingchen couldn’t help but feel a little dazed.

Back then, he had just fought a battle with Ye Wushuang, severed ties with the family completely, and left with Ye Qing. In the blink of an eye, two years had passed.

"I never expected I would have a chance to return in this life!"

Ye Qingchen sighed inwardly.

"Master, is this where you grew up? It’s so lively!"

Yao Qing observed the surroundings.

The city was decorated and bustling with activity. As soon as they stepped through the city gates, they could feel the lively atmosphere. On the main road, there was a continuous flow of traffic.

Even many important figures from other cities and families had gathered here.

"I’m not sure, maybe someone is hosting a wedding!" Ye Qingchen shook his head.

As the two were speaking,

a maid of about fifteen or sixteen years old quickly approached them:

"Are you two also here to attend the grand feast of the Han Family?"

"The Han Family’s grand feast?"

Ye Qingchen was slightly taken aback. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Yes, our young master Han Xuan has joined the Taotian Palace and become an outer disciple. So our master is hosting a banquet for three days and nights." The maid replied with a charming smile.

"Isn’t that a bit excessive?"

Ye Qingchen couldn’t help but laugh helplessly.

"Sir, you don’t know what Taotian Palace signifies, do you?" The maid tilted her head, silently observing Ye Qingchen as if he was a country bumpkin.

"Taotian Palace is not only the largest sect in Celestial Peak Country, but in the entire Cyan Continent, and even the Eastern Domain!"

"Don’t underestimate our young master for being just an outer disciple; if he cultivates well, he’ll surely enter the inner sect and might even be chosen by an Elder to become a direct disciple!"

"You really don’t know?"

"Well..."

Ye Qingchen hesitated slightly.

Beside him, Yao Qing shook her head quietly.

It’s worth noting.

That Ye Qingchen’s current status in Taotian Palace was quite awkward.

Even though Ye Qingchen’s current strength surpassed that of Taotian Palace, he was still just a disciple. However, from Lin Jiuyuan, who was his grandmaster, to ordinary Elders and Stewards, had to treat this "disciple" with the utmost respect.

Under the maid’s puzzled gaze, Ye Qingchen eventually shook his head, "I really didn’t know that."

"So you didn’t come to attend the feast either? Who exactly are you?" The maid looked at Ye Qingchen warily.

Before.

When she saw Ye Qingchen and Yao Qing, their bearing clearly marked them as people of high status. Yet, she didn’t expect they knew nothing about Taotian Palace.

It should be known that many strange people had appeared in Cyan Cloud City lately, so she had to be cautious.

"My name is Ye Qingchen; your patriarch Han Tiancheng should know me!"

Ye Qingchen smiled, thinking there was no rush as the Ye Family Ancestral Land wasn’t going anywhere. Since he hadn’t been back to Cyan Cloud City for a long time, seeing this young maid reminded him of Ye Qing, so he chatted with her a little longer.

Unexpectedly, after hearing his name, the maid’s expression changed as if avoiding a plague:

"I thought you looked familiar; you must be from the Ye Family! Sorry, our Han Family doesn’t entertain anyone from the Ye Family..."

"How could you say that?"

Seeing this, Yao Qing was about to react, but Ye Qingchen waved his hand.

Two years ago, when he broke ties with the Ye Family, the Han, Liu, and Zhao families also severed ties with the Ye Family; their reaction was only natural.

Just then.

A ruckus arose in the distance, followed by ceremonial cries:

"Clan Leader Zhao, Zhao Jiuling, has arrived!"

"Clan Leader Liu, Liu Guodong, has arrived!"

"Clan Leader Han, Han Tiancheng, has arrived!"

...

The maid didn’t bother with Ye Qingchen any longer and hurried up to greet them.

Ye Qingchen said nothing further, brushing past the clan leaders who were walking happily, too engaged in their conversation to notice him.

Only Han Tiancheng glimpsed the back of Ye Qingchen and felt his heart skip a beat:

"That person’s back looks so familiar..."

"Who is it?"

Liu Guodong and Zhao Jiuling asked curiously. But when they turned to look, they only saw Ye Qingchen walking away with Yao Qing, causing them some confusion.

They thought he looked familiar but couldn’t pinpoint who he was.

The maid was caught by surprise, her eyes shining as she hesitated: "Patriarch, that young man...he said his name is Ye Qingchen!"

"Ye Qingchen!"

With the mention of that name, the lively atmosphere suddenly quieted down.

The three clan leaders exchanged glances, all recalling the battle years ago in Cyan Cloud City where Ye Qingchen rose to fame by defeating Ye Wushuang in a heaven-shocking event. Now, this young man had returned?

"It seems that Ye Qingchen truly knew the patriarch; otherwise, why else would they react this way when hearing his name? I can’t believe I drove away the patriarch’s esteemed guest..." The maid thought, sticking her tongue out as she quickly said: "I’ll go and invite him back..."

However.

As the maid was about to act, Han Tiancheng waved his hand: "No need!"

"Huh?"

The maid was dumbfounded, not understanding.

With a smile, Liu Guodong explained: "You may not know, but Ye Qingchen was quite a prominent figure back in Cyan Cloud City. Two years ago, he made a name for himself in a battle with Ye Wushuang and severed ties with the Ye Family. Later, it was said that Ye Qingchen went to Canglan City, after which there was little news of him..."

"Exactly, and now that Han Xuan has joined the Taotian Palace with a promising future ahead, it’s likely that Ye Qingchen, seeing this situation, would feel unsatisfied and not want to see us." Zhao Jiuling nodded.

"I see!"

The maid understood.

...

Ye Qingchen was unaware of their thoughts.

To him, Cyan Cloud City was already a thing of the past, and as for the Han, Zhao, and Liu families, they were nothing more than ants. If Chu Yao hadn’t mentioned that the secret of the immortal sect might be hidden in the Ye Family Ancestral Land, he probably wouldn’t have returned at all.

As he thought about this,

Ye Qingchen had already returned to the Ye Mansion.

This once-grand mansion, which was one of the Four Great Families’ residences in Cyan Cloud City, was now overgrown with weeds, its surroundings covered in cobwebs, like a massive haunted house. The people of the Ye Family were long gone after the battle, either dead or scattered.

With the decline of the Ye Family, the ancestral land reflected the desolation.

"Is this the ancestral land?"

Yao Qing was a bit disappointed.

The so-called ancestral land was nothing more than a simple ancestral hall, not much different from an ordinary household. Back then, when Ye Qingchen’s skills were still weak, he couldn’t perceive anything within the ancestral hall, but now that he had reached the realm of Celestial Venerable, he sensed an array’s presence the moment he stepped inside.

"It’s indeed here!"

Ye Qingchen’s eyes lit up, and despite Yao Qing’s disappointed expression, he quickly formed a spell.

"Buzz!"

And behold.

The vast ancestral hall quietly disappeared, revealing a huge stone chamber. Inside, there were only a few bamboo scrolls and nothing else. It looked more like a place storing confidential information than an immortal sect.

"This doesn’t look like an immortal sect!" Yao Qing couldn’t help but say.

Ye Qingchen remained silent, stepping into the stone room and casually taking a bamboo scroll, frowning as he read just the beginning.
