Chapter 379: Chapter 379: Astonishing Identity Chapter 379: Chapter 379: Astonishing Identity “Greetings to the Alchemy Emperor! Greetings to young master Zhang!”

The Ye family, from top to bottom, were all very respectful.

The refined demeanor of the Family Head and elders, as well as those in high positions, stunned the leading figures of various large and small forces, leaving them with surprised expressions.

Could a few young juniors warrant such respect from the likes of the Ye Family Head?

What statuses did the Alchemy Emperor and young master Zhang possess?

Numerous question marks surfaced in the minds of the high-level representatives of the various forces.

Nonetheless, without overthinking it, they quickly followed suit with respectful salutations, “Greetings to the Alchemy Emperor! Greetings to young master Zhang!”

“Family Head Ye, the three elders, and esteemed seniors.” Feng Wuchen greeted the many powerful figures with a cupped fist, very politely, showing not the slightest air of superiority.

Zhang Junlan and Liu Qingyang did likewise, affording great face to the Ye family.

Ye Gucheng’s heart throbbed with excitement, having been able to invite Feng Wuchen and Zhang Junlan was an honor for the Ye family.

“Alchemy Emperor, young master Zhang, this is my father Ye Shuihan, this is the First Elder Ye Qingyun, this is Second Elder Ye Qingshui, and this is my uncle Ye Zhong…” Ye Gucheng introduced them one by one.

Ye Shuihan, as the Family Head of the Ye, donned a gray, magnificent robe that suited his status, exuding the presence and authority of a Family Head. He had reached the Tianyuan Realm fifth layer, one of the top-tier powers in the region, counted on one hand.

First Elder Ye Qingyun, at the Tianyuan Realm third layer, was also extremely powerful and intimidating.

Second Elder Ye Qingshui, at the Tianyuan Realm second layer, was likewise formidable.

Third Elder Ye Kui was at the first layer of the Tianyuan Realm.

Ye Zhong, the brother of Ye Shuihan and thus Ye Gucheng’s uncle, was at the third layer of the Tianyuan Realm, with strengths just as fearsome.

In the Ye family alone, there were as many as five Tianyuan Realm powerhouses, not to mention the number of those in the room who were of the Tianyuan Realm–a glance around would reveal all formidable individuals.

Such was the strength of the Ye family!

“Alchemy Emperor, young master Zhang, please come inside!” Ye Shuihan invited them with a respectful smile, his every move leaving people deeply impressed.

In his lofty status, Ye Shuihan could make the region tremble with just a stomp of his foot. And yet, here he was, showing such respect to a few juniors without any airs of a Family Head.

“Thank you, Family Head Ye!” Feng Wuchen and Zhang Junlan gave their polite thanks.

Feng Wuchen and Zhang Junlan undoubtedly became the most distinguished individuals there. Other powerful forces couldn’t even get the Family Head to personally invite them into the hall, only Feng Wuchen and Zhang Junlan could claim that privilege.

The unfamiliar girl and the man were overwhelmingly shocked, flattered by the highest treatment from the Ye family as if they were in a dream.

“Their identity is no simple matter, don’t offend them at all costs,” a Family Head instructed with a tone of command.

An elder nodded seriously, “Their cultivation is not weak, clearly talents from a major force, not to be trifled with.”

“Family Head, elder, should we check their identities?” a man asked in a low voice.

“Certainly not, lest we offend them,” the Family Head rejected without hesitation.

“Seeing how cautious the Ye family is, they surely aren’t from this region. Pass down the order, disciples of Cloud Sky Palace must not provoke them! If they do, they will bear the consequences themselves!” a Palace Master ordered softly.

“The Alchemy Emperor and young master Zhang carry formidable backgrounds. Young master Ye personally went to the city gates to welcome them, and now Family Head Ye is personally attending to them; they must not be offended,” another Sect Master issued a stern command.

The high-level representatives of various forces issued their orders one after another, unaware that the Alchemy Emperor before them was the renowned Feng Wuchen, the mysterious genius who had challenged many large and small forces.

Once Feng Wuchen and Zhang Junlan arrived, Ye Shuihan announced the start of the banquet.

Ye Shuihan and the high-level members beamed with smiles–their ability to invite Feng Wuchen and Zhang Junlan meant the Ye family had now allied with two individuals of terrifying status.

Not long after the banquet began, Ye Shuihan raised his cup to toast, smiling respectfully, “Alchemy Emperor, young master Zhang, I toast you. To have the Alchemy Emperor and young master Zhang here is an honor for the Ye family, I drink first as respect.”

Elder Ye Qingyun and other elders and high-ranked members also stood up to raise their cups, the degree of their respect was self-evident.

“You give me too much credit, Family Head Ye!” Feng Wuchen replied with a modest smile, gallantly raising his cup and drinking it all in one go, displaying an extraordinary demeanor.

“Congratulations to Family Head Ye on breaking through to the fifth layer of the Heavenly Human Realm,” Zhang Junlan said boldly, raising his cup and drinking it down in one gulp.

Seeing Family Head Ye propose a toast, everyone promptly raised their cups, not daring to show any negligence.

“Alchemy Emperor, young master Zhang, the Ye family holds some strength in this region, if you encounter any trouble here, we will definitely give our full support,” Ye Shuihan said with a courteous smile.

“Thank you, Family Head Ye,” Feng Wuchen replied with a cupped fist and a smile. Although he was aware of the Ye family’s intentions, Feng Wuchen did not mind it, as he had taken an interest in Ye Gucheng.

Ye Shuihan’s words served as a reminder to the high-level representatives seated around and could also help spread the message.

With the Ye family’s opening statement, there wouldn’t be many in the eastern region who would dare to provoke Feng Wuchen.

The Ye family’s flattering treatment towards Feng Wuchen and Zhang Junlan prompted other forces’ representatives to offer endless compliments, all wishing to win favor with these two enigmatic figures.

The more mysterious they seemed, the more curious others became.

Eventually, someone couldn’t hold back any longer.

“Family Head Ye, the Alchemy Emperor and young master Zhang are individuals of exceptional stature, why not introduce them to us?” inquired a Sect Master with a smile.

“Indeed! Family Head Ye, do make the introductions,” inquired other powerhouses, effectively voicing the curiosity of everyone present.

At that, Ye Shuihan glanced at Feng Wuchen and Zhang Junlan and seeing that they did not mind, he relaxed.

Feng Wuchen’s primary purpose in coming to this region was to gain control and recruit talents.

Feng Wuchen did not mind letting others know his identity, as having a powerful status would make tasks far more efficient and save a great deal of time.

Most importantly, it would reduce many unnecessary troubles.

Furthermore, with so many asking, if Ye Shuihan were not to introduce him, he would feel quite remiss.

The spacious hall fell silent, as everyone’s gaze collectively turned towards Ye Shuihan.

With a slight smile, Ye Shuihan said, “This Young Master Zhang, as a matter of fact, all present know that he is the heir of the Artifact Refining Family from the Wuji Domain, and also our mainland’s number one talent among Artifact Refiners, Zhang Junlan.”

“What? The heir of an Artifact Refining Family?”

“The number one talent among Artifact Refiners on the mainland?”

“Heavens! It’s actually the heir of an Artifact Refining Family!”

Ye Shuihan’s words instantly gave everyone a big shock, making them tremble, their eyes flashing with a hint of fear, their respect growing much stronger.

The existence of the Zhang family, the Artifact Refining Family from the Wuji Domain, was one of the colossal entities of the mainland, countless times more powerful than the entire Tianyuan Realm.

Knowing Zhang Junlan’s identity, everyone understood then why both the Family Head Ye and Young Master Ye were so respectful; not to mention the Ye family, the entire Tianyuan Realm together could not rival the Zhang family!

If the mere presence of Zhang Junlan scared them out of their wits, wouldn’t Feng Wuchen be even more terrifying?

It was clear to everyone present that Feng Wuchen was the leader among the seven, with even Zhang Junlan standing behind him.

And true to form, the words that followed from Ye Shuihan nearly scared everyone to death.

Ye Shuihan’s gaze turned to Feng Wuchen, then with a smile, he said, “Alchemist Emperor hails from Jiuzhou and is the overlord of Jiuzhou, the number one talent there, his expertise in the Alchemy Dao so profound that he is honoured as the Alchemist Emperor; he is also a formidable Artifact Refiner.”

“The overlord of Jiuzhou? And also the top talent! Doesn’t that mean Jiuzhou holds the greatest strength?”

“So young and yet with such unattainable achievements, truly enviable!”

“Both an Alchemist and an Artifact Refiner, the Alchemist Emperor really is supremely gifted, there definitely isn’t a second one like him in the entire mainland! A million times better than my son!”

Shocked anew, the crowd burst into exclamations.

With mastery in both fields reaching such high realms, such terrifying talent made everyone deeply envious.

“The Alchemist Emperor is also Young Master Zhang’s teacher!” Ye Shuihan finally added.

“Boom!”

That brief statement, like a thunderclap in their ears, shook everyone so hard that they all froze, motionless.

Their eyes and faces were filled with shock.

For a moment, the hall was as silent as a graveyard.

The Alchemist Emperor was actually Zhang Junlan’s teacher!

Zhang Junlan was known as the number one talent among Artifact Refiners on the mainland, and Feng Wuchen was even younger than him, yet he was the teacher of the top talent Artifact Refiner!

How terrifying must Feng Wuchen’s Artifact Refining abilities be?

The crowd could not fathom, nor did they dare to imagine.

Given that the Zhang family, being an Artifact Refining Family, already possessed extraordinary Artifact Refining strength and cultivated Zhang Junlan with ease, that Zhang Junlan should have a teacher was even more astounding.

The teacher of the mainland’s top talent Artifact Refiner, how fearsome must that identity be?

No wonder Feng Wuchen dared to stand before Zhang Junlan; after all, Zhang Junlan was merely his disciple.

At this moment, everyone felt as though a mountain was weighing down on them, leaving them practically gasping for breath.

Seeing the shocked and terrified expressions on everyone’s faces, Liu Qingyang quietly shook his head; they had seen such scenes far too many times and had by now grown accustomed to them.

“I remember now, the troubles in Yueyun City were caused by the Gongsun family offending the Alchemist Emperor and Young Master Zhang!” someone suddenly exclaimed.

“That’s right! I also heard it was Young Master Zhang from the Artifact Refining Family of the Wuji Domain!”

“Hmph! They dared to offend the Alchemist Emperor and Young Master Zhang, simply seeking death!”

“The Alchemist Emperor was kind enough to only break their arms, if it were me, I’d have killed them all!”

The crowd grew boisterous once again, their minds overwhelmed with a strong sense of fear as they recalled the incident in Yueyun City.

To offend such terrifying figures, the end result was surely gruesome.

“The Alchemist Emperor, challenging geniuses from the various forces of Tianyuan Realm, could it be the Alchemist Emperor?” With shock still vivid, one person asked all of a sudden.

Upon hearing this, Feng Wuchen looked slightly surprised, and after a brief thought, nodded, “It’s me.”

Feng Wuchen’s reply once again prompted a chorus of exclamations from the crowd.

What puzzled them, however, was why someone with Feng Wuchen’s lofty and transcendent status would come to the Tianyuan Realm to challenge so many geniuses, and why he would want the defeated geniuses to follow him.

The crowd’s puzzled gazes all turned to Feng Wuchen.

“Brother Feng, why not take this opportunity to explain? Perhaps you might recruit many talents. If you ask personally, maybe even Ye Gucheng would agree,” Liu Qingyang hurriedly whispered.

Feng Wuchen nodded slightly. Indeed, this was an opportunity.

Feng Wuchen had been thinking about how to recruit talents more quickly, and now the opportunity had presented itself.

His visit to the Ye family was for a clear purpose–to secure Ye Gucheng!

“The teacher has come to the Tianyuan Realm to recruit talents, and he needs to personally select them,” Zhang Junlan said briefly.

“Recruiting talents?” The strong figures of the major powers were immediately stirred.
