The Way of The Dao

"Seeing the current situation... it seems we have a new Legend rank."

This time, no one cried out in disbelief.

The people present already knew to whom the Lord of the City was referring, so they immediately turned to Yun Mengxin.

Yun Mengxin did not flinch from the looks of wonder she received.  Somehow, she had become accustomed to always being singled out for anything, be it beauty, status, or anything else. She did not care about such things, she just wanted to fulfill her desire to become stronger and decide her life for herself and not be forced to marry the bastard Ming Zeng.

Then the door to the main hall opened and the same servant came in, while he stood aside and let people in behind him.

"The patriarch and the ancestor of the Tang family are here."

Tang Wei and Tang Nu entered quickly, because of the urgent message they had received from the Lord of the City.

"Lord of the City, Patriarch Yun, we came as soon as we were told." Tang Wei greeted both of the important men.

Yun Dong greeted them equally and let them sit at the main table in the hall.

Yun Mengxin was curious as to what the Lord of the City had to say, so she sat equally well next to her father. An elder had given up his place to her. From now on, the status of Yun Mengxin would change, and the power of the Yun family would change as well.

Yun Mengxin released her spiritual sense and scanned the level of power of the people who were coming.

Long Cheng also took a seat, as he continued to watch the young Miss Yun and wondered, how did she ascend to the Legend rank? Wasn't she a Great Heaven rank before?

Although Long Cheng did not like to meddle in the affairs of others and learn their secrets, he would ask her later if he could, whether there was any secret to one's incredible advancement to Legend rank, he would have to know. It was vitally important to the survival of the star city!

Within minutes, more people began to arrive.

"The patriarch and the ancestor of the Zhang family are here."

Zhang Chao and Zhang Leng entered in the same way, greeting the others and finally taking a seat, while waiting for the other great families.

"The patriarch and the ancestor of the Ze family are here."

Ze Rum and Ze Beim entered the place with somber faces, because of what they had done to the young master of the Ze family. But they did not immediately shout because they would wait until everyone was there and discuss the problem.

"The patriarch and the ancestor of the Ming family are here."

Ming Xian and Ming Waen entered the room with dark faces too because of what they had done to Ming Zeng.

"Patriarch Yun, I hope you have a good explanation as to why my son is so hurt!"

This time, Ming Xian didn't hold back and he was the one who started shouting furiously at Yun Dong.

Long Cheng frowned and replied before Yun Dong spoke: "Ming patriarch! Behave yourself first! I hope you too know what your son wanted to do from the beginning!"

Ming Xian clenched his teeth in anger, how could he bear such humiliation that his son had been beaten by a woman?

Yet everyone took a seat at the table and no one spoke, all turning to see the Lord of the City. Although everyone was surprised that the young miss of the Yun family was sitting with them at the table as well, no one said anything.

Yun Mengxin frowned slightly when she realized that the ancestor, Ming Waen, was in the Eighth Stage of Chi Gathering, so obviously he would be a Legend rank in the city, but now the Ming family had not talked about it. No doubt they were up to something, but she didn't say anything.

Martial artists didn't know about the use of spiritual sense, so they certainly wouldn't know that there was 'another Legend rank'. They could only feel the power emitted by the other person.

Long Cheng had waited until all the great families were present, to talk about two problems.

One issue was to clarify the previous problem about the current state of Ming Zeng and Ze Yu, so he called them here at the Yun family residence to avoid any problems later.

The other issue would be how to deal with the horde of demon beasts.

"First of all, I need to clarify something. Patriarch Ming Xian and ancestor Ming Waen, patriarch Ze Rum and ancestor Ze Beim, I am aware of the issue of the health status of your young masters. Before you say anything, I'm sure you know what they were planning to do."

Long Cheng looked at the four of them, telling them what had really happened.

"So I hope you understand that what happened to those young men was what they brought upon themselves. Don't worry, they're very important for the next matter to come, so we'll give them some spiritual elixirs so they can recover in a few days."

Both patriarchs of the Ming family and the Ze family nodded rigidly, still somewhat indisposed, but in the end, they said nothing.

Long Cheng nodded when he did not see any complaints from them, so he continued with the second most important issue.

"The second issue I want to tell you, is about the horde of demon beasts that will come in a few days to the star city."

Everyone listened seriously to what the Lord of the City said, knowing that this matter was of the utmost importance.

A few days before, every great family had been informed of a future demonic horde by the Lord of the City, so they were no doubt preparing for the arrival of these demonic beasts.

Each great family had several aristocratic families at its command, so the orders would come from the Lord of the City, then pass to the great families, and from there, each great family would pass its orders to the aristocratic families. Some aristocratic families had several families of plebeians under their command, so every star city would have to prepare for combat.

"But before that..."

Long Cheng turned to Yun Mengxin, who remained cold and indifferent to the matter at hand.

They all watched the eyes of the Lord of the City and strangely turned to see Yu Mengxin as well, not knowing the reason for it.

"The plans will change, as we have a new Legend rank in the city."

Huh?

What?!

Everyone was stunned as a look of confusion passed over their faces.

A new rank Legend?

Who could have reached the Legend rank?

They all caught the eye of the Lord of the City to Yun Mengxin, so they could not help but feel more confused.

Does he mean the young miss of the Yun family?

How can this be possible?

Long Cheng knew this would be hard to accept.

They were talking about the Legend rank!

The highest rank of star city!

Even he himself still couldn't fully believe that the young Miss Yun could achieve this great rank.

Long Cheng knew that it was very difficult to achieve this rank, since he was precisely a Legend rank.

Since he became the Lord of the City, he had to defend it completely, so every star city offered him the best elixirs in order to enter into the Legend rank.

After a long time and hard work and dedication, Long Cheng managed to narrowly enter into the Legend rank, becoming the only one in the entire star city after the previous Legend rank died from old age.

Yun Mengxin saw that all the people saw her with evident confusion on their faces, so she did not hesitate and released her power.

Yun Mengxin's Chi flooded the whole place.
