Chapter 442: The Five Great Families of Baiyang City

"Master Ye, we are here."

Ji Yusheng stopped in front of a courtyard, then took out a bronze key and opened the door of the courtyard:

"This courtyard is where my mother lived during her lifetime...Although no one has lived there for a long time, there are still servants who often come to clean it."

"If Mr. Ye minds, you can change your stay."

Ye Qingchen walked into the courtyard and looked around.

It is just a small courtyard, but its appearance is much more beautiful than many magnificent main palaces on the Mowu Continent.

Moreover, there is a jasmine tree planted here that looks to be old, filling the courtyard with a light jasmine fragrance that fills the heart and mind.

After looking around, Ye Qingchen nodded and said:

"This place is nice, but wouldn't you mind?"

He turned around and asked:

"After all, this is where your mother lived during her lifetime."

Hearing this, Ji Yusheng's eyes became a little sentimental, and his eyes scanned every corner of the courtyard.

After a long while, he sighed and said:

"My mother passed away when I was very young..."

"When she left, I still didn't understand why she was lying motionless on the bed... I simply thought she was asleep."

"Later I realized that she had indeed fallen asleep...but she would never wake up again."

After saying this, Ji Yusheng raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes, trying his best to squeeze out a smile: "Sorry, I lost my composure."

"It's okay. When you miss your loved ones, no matter who you are, there will be times when you can't control yourself."

Ye Qingchen walked to the jasmine tree.

There is also a stone table and four stone benches there.

This reminded him of the leisurely time he often spent sitting under a tree with his mother, Ning Suyan and the others when he was in Mowu Continent, talking and laughing with them.

It took him five days to pass through the "Fairy Gate".

It had only been five days, but he already missed them a little.

Secretly suppressing these thoughts of longing, Ye Qingchen sat on the stone bench, and then motioned for Ji Yusheng to sit opposite him:

"Let's not talk about this anymore... Black Tomb Village led people to attack you, what do you think?"

"this……"

Ji Yusheng, who was sitting opposite Ye Qingchen, was startled for a moment, scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment:

"I really don't have any ideas... After all, my father and the great elders are investigating this matter, so I don't have to spend so much thought on it."

"If you investigate on your own and investigate with others, the results you get will sometimes be different."

Ye Qingchen said: "What's more, this matter also involves your life and safety."

"Think about it carefully, have you offended anyone recently? Or has there been any change in your Ji family's recent opponents?"

"this……"

Ji Yusheng thought for a while and said:

"To tell you the truth, sir, I usually have an easy-going personality and rarely have conflicts with others. Even when I have conflicts with others, I will try my best to be tolerant."

"As for the opponents of my Ji family... To be honest, I don't think they would spend such unnecessary money to hire people from Black Tomb Village to attack me."

"Oh?" Ye Qingchen was startled, "How can you see that?"

"Because our Ji family has always been at the bottom among the five major families in Baiyang City."

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Ji Yusheng's tone was filled with heavy helplessness.

"Whether it is overall strength or economic aspects, our Ji family ranks at the bottom."

Through Ji Yusheng's story, Ye Qingchen also learned that there are five major families in Baiyang City.

They are Qi family, Rong family, Qu family, Ning family and Ji family.

Among them, the Qi family is the head of the five major families.

The Rong family and the Qu family tied for second place.

The Ning family is third.

The end of the Ji family.

Regarding the overall strength of these families, Ji Yusheng only gave their high-level combat capabilities.

For example, the Qi family, which ranks first among the five major families, has the head of the Qi family and two elders of the Qi family.

Their cultivation levels are all at the late stage of the Touching Dao Realm!

Among them, the head of the Qi family has a cultivation level of the ninth level of the Touching Dao Realm.

There is only one step left to reach the peak of the Touching Dao Realm!

It is the strongest existence in the entire Baiyang City!

The two great elders are both at the seventh level of the Touching Dao Realm.

As for the Rong family and the Qu family, there are also strong men who have reached the late stage of Tao Dao realm.

But there is only one.

The Ning family, which is higher than the Ji family, has three strong men with peak cultivation in the middle stage of the Touching Dao realm.

As for the Ji family...

Currently, only the head of the Ji family, Ji Jingwu, has reached the peak of the sixth level of the Tao Realm.

The rest of the elders are all in the middle stage of the Touching Dao Realm.

In terms of high-level combat power, the Ji family is indeed far inferior to the other four major families.

It's no wonder that Ji Yusheng said that such a Ji family is not worth other opponents' efforts to deal with.

After figuring out the power gap in Baiyang City, Ye Qingchen suddenly turned around and asked:

"Then when does the selection of the young head of your Ji family begin?"

"In three days, the young head of my Ji family will be chosen."

Ji Yusheng replied: "As long as I get more votes than other family candidates, I can legitimately become the young head of the Ji family."

To be honest, a family power like the Ji family does not use the inheritance system to select the young head of the family, but uses this voting mechanism to select the young head of the family.

This is relatively rare for Ye Qingchen, who is accustomed to the inheritance system in Mowu Continent.

"Then who is your biggest opponent in this selection of the Young Patriarch?" Ye Qingchen asked again.

"The biggest opponent..."

Ji Yusheng scratched his head and said:

"The biggest opponent should be Ji Fan, the son of the third elder."

"Although he is only one year younger than me, his cultivation level is higher than mine. He has now become a first-level immortal in the Mortal Transformation Realm."

"It is estimated that he will break through to the second level of Mortal Transformation in a short time."

Ji Yusheng's voice was full of envy.

"If we simply consider cultivation talent, then he must be the first choice, and I won't have any chance at all."

Hearing this, Ye Qingchen nodded and said, "What's his temperament like on weekdays?"

"He rarely sees people, and spends most of his time in his own yard concentrating on cultivation."

"So in terms of dealing with people, he is far inferior to me."

After hearing this answer, Ye Qingchen thought for a while and suddenly asked:

"What about your sworn brother? Is he qualified to participate in the selection of the Young Patriarch?"

Ji Yusheng was startled and then laughed.

"Young Master Ye is good at joking... Although our Ji family uses a voting mechanism to select the young master, we also attach great importance to bloodline."

"It is absolutely impossible for someone who is not from our Ji family to be qualified to participate in the selection of the young head of the family."

Hearing this, Ye Qingchen's brows moved imperceptibly.

He suddenly stood up and said:

"Okay... you can go and rest now, I'm going to prepare to practice."

After saying these words, he walked to the house in the courtyard.

Ji Yusheng was startled for a moment, then said towards Ye Qingchen's back:

"Then Mr. Ye, have a good rest. Later I will ask someone to invite Mr. Ye to have dinner with you."

"If Mr. Ye doesn't want to go to such trouble, you can also ask the servant to prepare dinner in the kitchen and then send it to Mr. Ye."

"Well, I won't take dinner with you."

Ye Qingchen's voice came from inside.

After Ji Yusheng responded, he left the courtyard.

After entering the room, Ye Qingchen observed it carefully.

This place has indeed been cleaned frequently, it doesn't look like it has been unoccupied for a long time.

"With my current strength, if I fight with all my strength, I should be able to deal with an immortal at the third level of Mortal Transformation Realm."

Ye Qingchen sat cross-legged on the bed, thinking quietly.

"If we try our best, we won't be able to deal with the immortals at the fourth level of Mortal Transformation Realm."

"But the premise is...the gap between each small realm of this transformation realm is not very big."

"But even so, this level of strength is still not enough in Baiyang City."

"When you cannot use the 'Tianchu Sword Qi', you must find a way to increase your strength as quickly as possible."

"I'll ask Ji Yusheng tomorrow to find out if there are any powerful sects or more powerful family forces nearby. Only in this way can I have the opportunity to increase my strength at a faster speed."

"But before that... we have to figure out who is secretly planning to murder Ji Yusheng..."

After making a plan in his mind, Ye Qingchen suddenly remembered the rich black energy and mysterious golden light rising from both sides during the decisive battle with Situ Wuyu that day.

Since that day, Ye Qingchen has tried many times to inspire that kind of power again.

But the strange thing is that no matter what he does, the dark golden light will no longer be stimulated from the veins of Yucang Sword.

"What kind of power is that...why does it appear in Yucang Sword Veins..."

Ye Qingchen was always puzzled.
