The Great Ruler: Starting from the Lower Plane

Chen Yuan, the other Supreme Elder who hadn't spoken much before and was seated on the left, looked at Ye Feng with satisfaction and spoke in a deep voice that resounded like thunder in the hall.

Upon hearing this, an eerie silence instantly fell over the hall.

"this..."

Ye Feng looked up abruptly, his eyes filled with astonishment, almost thinking he had misheard.

Su Qingxue had told him that among the three holy maidens of the Burning Heaven Sword Sect, besides Jiang Zhenyue, whom he had met, there was another woman named Chen tide.

Now it seems that this woman is probably connected with the Supreme Elder Chen Yuan, otherwise she wouldn't have made such a suggestion.

But for him, it seemed like an irresistible temptation.

The three holy maidens of the Burning Heaven Sword Sect are all exceptionally beautiful women, whose beauty is beyond doubt and would be a temptation for any normal man.

Su Qingxue's delicate body trembled, and the color drained from her beautiful face, turning it somewhat pale.

The thing she feared most had happened, and it happened so suddenly.

In the Sword Continent, perhaps no Sword Emperor would be unwilling to cultivate good relationships with those around them. Even such high-ranking powerhouses have their own pursuits.

They are willing to bet on any hope that connects them to the world, and those around them represent that infinite possibility.

Her grandfather was like that, and so was this great-uncle; there was little difference between the two.

Su Qingxue glanced sideways at Ye Feng beside her, her clear eyes glistening with tears.

She can't change anything, but if she doesn't like someone, she just doesn't like them. She can't be that magnanimous as to share the person next to her with other women.

"Uncle-Master, your method is quite good."

Su Zhen chuckled, breaking the silence in the hall first, his tone showing no displeasure whatsoever.

Marriage is indeed the best way to solidify the relationship between the two parties. This was the reason why he insisted on marrying his granddaughter to Ye Feng.

It's not that he doesn't love his granddaughter, but rather that there's no comparison between people. If it were an ordinary man, he wouldn't forgive him even if he had such thoughts.

But given time, if Ye Feng can reach that level, his granddaughter will be the wife of that Sword Emperor, what an honor that would be, and naturally no one would question it anymore.

Besides, in the Sword Continent, having multiple wives and concubines is the norm. Even these old guys couldn't escape this custom, so what right do they have to make demands of Ye Feng? In any case, the most important thing is to firmly bind Ye Feng to the Burning Heaven Sword Sect.

"It's rare to see a junior brother who is so open-minded, not hoarding such benefits. Unlike your son..."

Jiang Qingcang was taken aback for a moment, then jokingly glanced at Su Xuan sitting at the bottom.

Ye Feng's special circumstances were known to him more than a year ago, so he came to Li Huo Peak to talk to Su Xuan about it. However, the latter showed no sign of opening up, so he let it go.

Two women sharing one husband, especially the granddaughter of his sect leader, it wouldn't be honorable for him to ask his junior brother Su Zhen to compete for Ye Feng because of this. He simply couldn't bring himself to do it.

Now that Uncle Chen has spoken up and his junior brother has agreed in person, it would be the perfect opportunity for him to agree as well.

Her own granddaughter is shrewd and intelligent, and she thinks highly of Ye Feng and envies Su Qingxue immensely. If she knew about today's decision, she would definitely not refuse.

With this relationship in place, it wouldn't be unacceptable to change the rules of the Burning Heaven Sword Sect for Ye Feng.

Since it's a high-stakes gamble, let's go even bigger. A marriage alliance is absolutely necessary; otherwise, all the benefits will be monopolized by his junior brother in the future.

Although he was the sect leader of the Burning Heaven Sword Sect, he could not stop his junior brother. In the Sword Continent, strength is ultimately the most important factor.

It's true that his junior brother has been discussing things with them lately, but once his patience runs out, the entire Burning Heaven Sword Sect will probably fall under his control.

At the late stage of the Sword Emperor Realm, it was no longer something that those in the middle stage could overcome by sheer numbers. Even with the help of their two senior uncles, they were still no match for Su Zhen.

The reason he was able to succeed as the sect leader of the Burning Heaven Sword Sect was entirely because his junior brother had no interest in it and was willing to yield. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, he really didn't want to fall out with his junior brother.

"With such an outstanding girl like Zhenyue, I initially thought my senior uncle was joking..."

Hearing what Jiang Qingcang said, Su Xuan looked slightly embarrassed, but dared not refute anything.

His senior brother had visited him once before and mentioned this matter, but as a father, how could he allow his daughter to suffer such injustice?

She knew her own daughter well; with that cold and aloof personality, how could she be a match for Jiang Zhenyue? Once she was by Ye Feng's side, the outcome would be self-evident.

That's why he had strongly opposed his senior uncle marrying his granddaughter to Ye Feng. But now that his grand-uncle was interfering again and his father wasn't stopping him, it was useless for him to say anything.

With his innate sword physique and the potential to reach the Sword Emperor realm, Ye Feng is an irresistible temptation for any Sword King realm expert, enough to make these experts rack their brains to befriend him.

Such treatment is unique to Ye Feng across the entire Sword Continent.

"The reason I agreed to Uncle Chen's suggestion is that I know he and my senior brother have such thoughts. Rather than letting outsiders benefit, it's better for us to solve it ourselves behind closed doors."

"On this Sword Continent, there are more than just my Burning Heaven Sword Sect. If those old guys saw Ye Feng, they would probably be even more concerned than we are."

Su Zhen stroked his beard and chuckled, looking at Jiang Qingcang beside him, his voice filled with a sigh.

At their level of strength, without Ye Feng, they would have nothing to do but wait to die in this world.

Most of the Sword Emperors who were predecessors of the Burning Heaven Sword Sect, including his master, died peacefully in meditation. He had witnessed this firsthand.

The hopeless, lifeless look in their eyes, as if they were waiting for their lifespan to run out, still sends chills down his spine when he recalls it, even though they are still far from that point.

However, if he doesn't seek opportunities and make some changes sooner, his fate will inevitably be no different from that of the powerful predecessors of the Burning Heaven Sword Sect, which is something he absolutely cannot accept.

Even so, it's all been a waste of the little guy's time. Let's just hope he won't disappoint us in the future...

Jiang Qingcang's smile slowly faded, and his gaze returned to Ye Feng, his voice becoming serious and deep.

"Ye Feng, our Burning Heaven Sword Sect has poured all its resources into you, even changing sect rules that have been in place for tens of thousands of years. You should understand what this means..."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the hall focused their attention on Ye Feng, and an invisible pressure weighed heavily on him.

"This disciple will certainly cultivate diligently and live up to your expectations, but..."

Ye Feng responded solemnly, but at the end, he didn't know how to continue.
