The Yao Family Corpse Tide

The leading elder of the Chen family's Supreme Elder's pupils constricted sharply. He strode forward, his gaze fixed on the eight members of the Purple Sun Immortal Monarch's group. Upon recognizing the aura unique to the powerful figures of the Holy Sun Fortress emanating from them, his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly spoke anxiously:

"Patriarch, you mustn't speak recklessly! These eight are the renowned Eight Vajras of Shengyang Fortress, true top-tier cultivators of the Innate Dao Body Realm, their strength unfathomable and their prestige awe-inspiring. They are no ordinary individuals!"

The other elders echoed this sentiment, their eyes filled with surprise and apprehension, unable to believe that these eight top experts would submit to the Chen family.

Chen Yang remained calm, waved his hand gently, and said firmly, "Elders, I am not speaking nonsense."

As soon as he finished speaking, he casually waved his hand without making any further movements.

Swish!

The eight innate experts from Saint Yang Fortress beside him, including Immortal Lord Ziyang, instantly knelt on one knee, their posture upright and their attitude extremely respectful, bowing in unison: "Master above! We, the cultivators of Saint Yang Fortress, are willing to submit to you and swear to serve you to the death!"

The unified chanting of worship reverberated through the sky, the sound waves rolling and echoing throughout the entire ancestral land of the Chen family.

Chen Yang raised his hand slightly and said calmly, "Get up."

Upon hearing this, all eight men stood up, hands at their sides, their auras subdued, their demeanor gentle and respectful, like the most loyal bodyguards, with not a trace of their former arrogance as powerful figures.

Chen Yang turned his head and looked at the group of Chen family elders behind him who were all in astonishment. His voice was calm but carried immense weight: "As you elders have witnessed, from now on, the entire Shengyang Fortress will be under the jurisdiction of my Chen family."

At this moment, the entire place fell silent! All the elders and high-ranking members of the Chen family present were utterly shocked, their pupils dilated, and their faces filled with disbelief.

No one expected that Chen Yang, who had just taken over as the head of the Chen family, would subdue the powerful and well-established Shengyang Fortress on the very second day after taking over!

Such a rapid rise and such incredible methods are simply astonishing!

Chen Yang's gaze swept over the crowd, and he continued in a deep voice, dropping an even more shocking message:

"Not only Saint Sun Fortress, but also the Star Moon Forest and the Dark Abyss have now submitted to me and come under the command of the Chen family."

"I have issued a decree that from this day forward, human cultivators and the Moon Clan shall live in peace, exchange goods and engage in trade, and cultivate together in a focused manner. Private fighting and instigating conflict are strictly prohibited."

"I urge all the Supreme Elders and Elders to spread this decree throughout all the territories of the Chen family and to strictly enforce it."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the room was shocked again, their expressions of horror intensified, and a huge wave of emotions surged in their hearts!

Their new family head is far too powerful and too extraordinary!

Saint Sun Fortress, Dark Abyss, Star Moon Forest, and the Chen family's homeland—several vast territories have all submitted and come under Chen Yang's rule!

This unified territory is vast and boundless, and its cultural heritage has increased several times over!

Upon careful consideration, the Chen family is now the fourth largest super power in the entire prehistoric world, second only to the three top holy lands! An elderly Grand Elder trembled, tears streaming down his face, unable to contain his overwhelming joy, and knelt heavily on the ground with a thud, his voice choked and trembling:

"Our Chen family is blessed! Our ancestors have shown their divine intervention! Who could have imagined that our small, weak Chen family in this remote corner of the world would receive such unparalleled glory and reach the pinnacle of power!"

The other elders were all moved, their eyes filled with excitement and pride, their hearts pounding with passion.

Chen Yang simply smiled faintly, his expression calm and unperturbed by honor or disgrace.

Afterwards, the Chen family held a grand celebration banquet, with the entire clan celebrating together in a lively and festive atmosphere. The mansion was filled with the aroma of wine and was packed with guests.

Halfway through the banquet, the third elder of the Yao family led Yao Na forward slowly from the crowd.

Yao Na was pretty with gentle features and a faint blush on her cheeks as she intimately linked arms with Chen Yang.

Her clear eyes were filled with infatuation and admiration for Chen Yang, her gaze burning and she couldn't bear to look away for even a moment.

The third elder of the Yao family, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but feel secretly grateful and thankful.

It's still my own Na'er who has exceptional luck and discerning eyes!

If Miss Yao hadn't insisted on choosing Chen Yang and actively sought a marriage alliance, the Yao family would never have been able to latch onto such a powerful figure, let alone have such unparalleled support!

Before the Third Elder of the Yao family could even offer a greeting, Chen Yang spoke first, his tone gentle and firm: "Third Grandfather, all matters concerning my Chen family have been settled. Now, I will accompany you back to deal with the Yao family's crisis." Upon hearing this, the Third Elder of the Yao family quickly waved his hand, respectfully and humbly saying, "No rush, no rush, son-in-law. You have just taken charge of the Chen family and are very busy. There's no need to rush..."

Chen Yang interrupted his polite formalities with a smile, his tone sincere: "Third Grandfather, there's no need for such formalities with me. I am Nana's husband, so naturally I am considered half a member of the Yao family."

"The Yao family's difficulties are my difficulties, and I will naturally not sit idly by."

Upon hearing this, the Third Elder of the Yao family felt a surge of warmth and was overjoyed. He nodded repeatedly in thanks, and the weight on his heart was finally lifted.

The Chen family elders all around witnessed this scene. Seeing the Yao family elders' respectful and humble attitude towards Chen Yang, everyone was suddenly shocked and understood!

They became increasingly aware that their new patriarch was far more terrifying and unfathomable than anyone had imagined!

He holds the Chen family's homeland, subjugates Shengyang Fortress, controls the Dark Abyss and Star Moon Forest, and possesses countless territories and eight innate great powers!

He is also the son-in-law of the Yao family and is highly valued and trusted by them!

Even more so, behind Chen Yang stands that mysterious and powerful fairy master!

He possesses countless trump cards and countless reliance points!

At this moment, everyone was absolutely certain in their hearts—the era of the Chen family's unparalleled rise had truly arrived!

Faced with the astonishment and awe of the crowd, Chen Yang remained calm, not taking these empty names and forces to heart. Before the celebration banquet was over, he left without lingering, taking Yao Na and the third elder of the Yao family with him.

The three of them flashed and stepped into the Primordial Shadow Shuttle that was suspended in mid-air.

After ascertaining the exact location of the Yao family's territory, Chen Yang closed his eyes slightly and fully activated the divine artifact with his spiritual power.

Om-!

The spatial patterns around the Shadow Shuttle surged, tearing through the surrounding void. In the next second, it transformed into an extreme stream of light and instantly disappeared into the air above the Chen family's territory.

The speed of the artifact's spatial jump was terrifyingly fast. In just four hours, the Shadow Shuttle, which traversed endless territories, steadily arrived above the Yao family's territory.

The third elder of the Yao family witnessed the whole thing and was already stunned and speechless, his heart filled with turmoil!

It should be noted that with his cultivation at the Innate Dao Body Realm, it would take him a full month to travel back and forth between the Chen and Yao families at full speed!

However, Chen Yang activated this divine artifact and traversed tens of thousands of miles of territory in just a few hours. This speed was terrifying to the extreme and overturned his understanding!

A moment later, the Shadow Shuttle landed, and Chen Yang, along with Yao Na and the third elder of the Yao family, stepped into the core territory of the Yao family.

In terms of territory, the Yao family's territory is much larger and has a deeper foundation than the Chen family's, and its overall strength is far superior to the Chen family's!

The Yao family once boasted ten cultivators at the Innate Dao Body Realm, and possessed the superior-grade immortal artifact, the Heaven-Slaying Sword, to guard their ancestral lands, demonstrating its formidable strength. However, in recent years, the once-powerful Yao family has become unusually low-key, facing a difficult and oppressive situation within the clan, and has lost its former glory.

Previously, the Yao family had taken the initiative to lower themselves and go to the Chen family for a marriage alliance, marrying off their most precious and talented daughter, Yao Na, as a last resort.

This is because a strange crisis suddenly occurred within the Yao family's territory, with countless zombies running rampant and a zombie horde spreading, afflicting the entire region!

For many years, the Yao family has spent a huge amount of manpower, financial resources, and spiritual energy to suppress the zombie horde, resulting in countless deaths and heavy losses. However, they have never been able to completely eradicate the scourge and can only passively defend it, which has led to their increasing predicament.

Chen Yang had already heard Yao Na and the Third Elder recount the whole story in detail on the way.

However, he still had some doubts: With such a strong foundation, numerous powerful experts, and immortal artifacts protecting the clan, why were they forced into such a desperate situation by mere zombies causing trouble, leaving them helpless?

As their thoughts settled, the three of them stepped into the core city of the Yao family—Yitian City.

Upon entering the city, a strong, pungent, and nauseating stench of blood and decay assaulted the senses, permeating every corner of the entire city.

The air was oppressive and deathly still, the streets and alleys were empty and desolate, and everywhere there were traces of the devastation after the great battle, with the lingering smell of blood.

The third elder of the Yao family twitched his nose slightly, sensing the increasingly strong, putrid stench. His expression changed drastically, becoming extremely grave. He hurriedly called out in a deep voice:

"Miss! Young Master! Something terrible has happened! Another massive zombie horde has broken out in the city! Quickly, return to the manor and check!"
