The Strongest Dandy in the City

Chapter 2465 - 2454

The entire Ascend Heaven Mountain is tens of thousands of meters high.It rises straight into the clouds.

Looking up.

The mountain top is shrouded in mist, resembling a celestial paradise.

A powerful energy barrier envelops the entire Ascend Heaven Mountain.

Judging by the barrier’s strength, it’s unlikely that even a great perfection Peak Divine Venerable could break it.

The barrier limits the ability to traverse through the air.

Each member of the Wus’ headquarters possesses a special Jade Token.

The Jade Token allows them to fly without restrictions, while others have to climb to the mountaintop step by step.

Beside Ascend Heaven Mountain are several hundred-meter-high small mountains, with ordinary courtyards built on them for the branch members to reside.

Wu Ren’s branch’s Spirit Boat was moored at the foot of Ascend Heaven Mountain.

Led by Wu Ren.

Ye Chenfeng, Wu Lingyu, Wu Gui, and others all disembarked from the Spirit Boat.

At the entrance at the foot of Ascend Heaven Mountain, there was a gray-robed elder, whose expression was stern, and whose aura was at the Late Stage of Divine Venerable Realm.

He could be considered one of the family’s ancestors, but his seniority was far less than Wu Chengyan’s. Despite being an ancestor, he would still have to respectfully address Wu Chengyan as ’ancestor’.

This person was named Wu Zhiming, primarily in charge of enforcement within the Wu family headquarters.

Under normal circumstances.

Upon seeing Wu Zhiming, Wu Ren would definitely pay his respects cautiously, but after meeting people like Wu Fengxian, his attitude changed drastically. He knew that once Ye Chenfeng’s identity was revealed, even Wu Zhiming would respectfully call Ye Chenfeng ’ancestor’.

However, Wu Ren didn’t neglect the proper etiquette, and after meeting Wu Zhiming.

Wu Zhiming nodded seriously and handed Wu Ren a Jade Token: "Your branch is temporarily assigned to Courtyard No. 6."

As Wu Ren put away the Jade Token and prepared to lead Ye Chenfeng and the others towards the neighboring small mountains.

Wu Ming, who had remained silent in the crowd, rushed forward regardless: "Old ancestor, I have something to report, I have something to report."

Wu Ming’s staggering appearance made Wu Zhiming furrow his brow slightly, but he still asked: "What do you want to say?"

Wu Ming pointed at Ye Chenfeng and said: "Old ancestor, he is not one of our branch family members. Yet our branch selected him to participate in the contest. It’s unfair, I am not convinced."

Hmm?

Upon hearing this.

Wu Zhiming directed his gaze at Ye Chenfeng, who wore a mask, sensing his power was only at the late stage of the fifth layer of the Earth God Realm. He then turned his gaze to Wu Ren: "Do you have anything to explain?"

Wu Zhiming was known for being incorruptible in enforcing family rules. If Wu Ming’s claim was true, he would inevitably punish this branch severely.

Wu Ren cupped his hands, glanced at Wu Ming, and said: "He was defeated during the branch selection, and he is unwilling to accept it. I, as the branch ancestor, know what should be done and what should not be done. All contestants representing our branch family are indeed Wu family members."

Wu Ming knelt directly before Wu Zhiming: "Old ancestor, please uphold justice for me. What I said is true, and by telling you this, I cannot return to the branch."

Wu Ming’s performance was indeed full of passion.

Wu Zhiming said: "If indeed what you said is true, then our Wu family has always been clear about rewards and punishments. I can arrange a clerical position for you in the family headquarters, where you can remain for now."

Upon hearing he could stay in the family headquarters.

Even just as a clerk, it would be much higher than his previous position in the branch.

As it is said, an official in front of the Prime Minister’s residence.

Wu Zhiming flicked his hand, revealing a golden glass-like orb in his palm: "To find out if he is a Wu family member is simple. He only needs to place his hand on this and operate his cultivation technique. If he is not from our family, he cannot be cultivating our family’s technique."

Upon hearing this.

Wu Gui and Wu Lingyu’s expressions drastically changed. They knew if Ye Chenfeng was tested, he would undoubtedly be exposed immediately.

Only Wu Ren and Ye Chenfeng remained calm.

What a joke.

Ye Chenfeng is the disciple of the Wu family’s ancestor, Wu Fengxian.

Wu Ren was not worried at all. Could Ye Chenfeng not know the Wu family’s cultivation technique?

Upon hearing Wu Zhiming, Wu Ming sneered internally, his gaze constantly shifting to Ye Chenfeng. Seeing Ye Chenfeng’s calm demeanor, he couldn’t help but think: "Still pretending at this time? I want to see how you’ll handle it once your identity is exposed."

Wu Ming continued to murmur internally: "Wu Ren, blame only your lack of benevolence towards me, don’t blame me for my lack of righteousness towards you."

Wu Zhiming addressed Ye Chenfeng, his tone unwavering: "Come forward for the test."

Wu Gui and Wu Lingyu looked worriedly at Ye Chenfeng.

Ye Chenfeng stepped forward towards Wu Zhiming and casually placed his hand on the golden orb, the Divine Blood Art began to circulate within him.

Wu Ming stared intently at Ye Chenfeng, ready to see Wu Zhiming’s furious reaction.

While Wu Gui and Wu Lingyu’s hearts were in their throats.

Suddenly.

From the entire glass-like orb, a golden light abruptly radiated.

After the dazzling golden light appeared, Wu Zhiming’s expression darkened.

Internally, Wu Ming smiled slightly, he had never seen this testing device before, but he guessed the golden light might prove Ye Chenfeng was not from the Wu family.

Wu Ming quickly said: "Old ancestor, didn’t I say? He is not from our Wu family, he is not our family member at all."

Wu Zhiming’s anger erupted.

With a loud "smack!"

His right hand suddenly swung, striking Wu Ming who knelt on the ground.

One slap sent Wu Ming flying, crashing into a giant stone nearby.

Wu Ming was utterly dumbfounded by the slap.

Feeling the burning pain on his cheek.

What, what is going on?

The expected result was not like this; it should have been Ye Chenfeng being slapped away by Wu Zhiming.

Wu Zhiming calmly said: "He is indeed a member of our Wu family, and he is cultivating our family’s technique."

"Daring to spread rumors before someone like me is simply courting death."

The stunned Wu Ming heard Wu Zhiming’s words, shaking his head continuously: "Impossible, absolutely impossible, he can’t be a Wu family member. I didn’t lie, what I said is true."
