1300 Fragment of the Map (2)
Yun Feng nodded. “Of course!”
The Great Elder smiled lightly. “There might be more secrets hidden in the Endless Ocean than we thought. Humans can’t explore this world completely. Perhaps you’ll have a fortuitous encounter there.”
“We have to go to the Endless Ocean. Something strange happened when I was with the merfolk earlier. Now that I think about it, there are a lot of doubts. Perhaps it’s related to something. However, this is all in the future. The most important thing right now is the Inner Region.”
The Great Elder nodded. “You’re quite meticulous, kid. I was right to give you this most important thing. It’s not completely safe to leave it here. The important things should be kept by appropriate people. Alright, let’s go up.”

The moment the Yun family stepped into the Inner Region, it attracted the attention of all the large and small families in the Inner Region. This time, the Yun family’s return to the Inner Region seemed so high-profile. One of the reasons was Yun Feng’s astonishing performance at the selection convention, and the other was the sudden intimacy between the Yun family and the Naxi family.
The Yun family’s mansion was renovated. It didn’t take long for the mansion to look brand new. During the period of time after they returned to the Inner Region, no family had come to disturb them. Perhaps they knew that the Yun family would be busy during this period of time. As expected, someone came to visit the second day after the renovation of the Yun family’s mansion was completed.
“Elders, it’s been a long time.” The master of the Ji family certainly had to come to visit. The three elders of the Yun family greeted them with a smile. Yun Feng also showed a faint smile on the side. The master of the Ji family looked a bit younger. He looked like he was in his early forties. If it weren’t for the tiny wrinkles on his face and the vicissitudes of life that came from his eyes from time to time, Yun Feng would have found it difficult to imagine that he was the master of a family in the Inner Region at such a young age.
“This is the five-element summoner, Yun Feng?” The Ji family’s master glanced at Yun Feng in admiration. Yun Feng nodded. “You flatter me, Master Ji.”
“Haha, you’re quite humble. You can remain calm. You’re much better than the few people in our family.”
“You do flatter her, Master Ji. Please come in.” The Great Elder chuckled and welcomed the Master of the Ji family into the main hall. “Kid, come with me.”
The master of the Ji family pondered in his mind after hearing that. It seemed that Yun Feng’s status in the Yun family were so important to the three elders. How old was she? And yet she was already able to have a meeting with the three elders? The master of the Ji family couldn’t help but glance at Yun Feng again. Yun Feng only replied and followed them in quietly.
Yun Feng had an extraordinary status in the Yun family right now. Even though she hadn’t been back to the headquarters of the Yun family for long, she had gained the recognition of all the members of the Yun family in the shortest time possible. Yun Xiang was more suitable than her in terms of age, but Yun Feng’s status was higher than Yun Xiang’s right now. The members of the Yun family accepted this phenomenon very calmly. Even Yun Xiang was very happy. Everyone in the Yun family felt that as long as Yun Feng was here, they would keep moving forward and never retreat! In fact, that was indeed the case. Wasn’t the return of the Yun family to the Inner Region the best proof?
The Master of the Ji family and the three elders of the Yun family sat down in the main hall, while Yun Feng stood next to the Great Elder. No matter what, she was still a junior in this occasion, so she certainly couldn’t sit down together. The Great Elder of the Yun family waved his hand gently and the space outside the main hall shook slightly. The Great Elder finally said, “Master Ji, why are you here this time?”
The Ji family’s master chuckled. “Can’t I come to the Yun family for no reason?”
The three elders of the Yun family smiled and didn’t say anything. The relationship between the Ji family and the Yun family was very tricky. The Ji family could be said to be neutral, but now… This attitude changed subtly. After laughing, the master of the Ji family said, “With the Yun family’s previous friendship with us in the Inner Region, I must come this time. Of course, I brought important news to the Yun family this time.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmImportant news? Yun Feng stood there and pondered in her mind. The master of the Ji family glanced at Yun Feng and the elder of the Yun family said, “Just tell me.”
“The Yun family came back at the right time this time. The new advancement of the forces in the Inner Region is about to begin.”
The expressions of the three elders of the Yun family changed slightly. “The new advancement of forces. I have to say that we came back at the right time.” The Third Elder of the Yun family sneered. The Second Elder of the Yun family also smiled with a lot of coldness. The Great Elder of the Yun family sat in the main seat and didn’t say anything. The master of the Ji family also remained silent.
Yun Feng’s heart suddenly pounded as she stood there. The advancement of forces… The three elders had just told her the details of the Inner Region a few days ago. The advancement of forces was the most important part and also a critical turning point. She didn’t expect it to come so soon. It was good that the Yun family returned to the Inner Region at this moment, or they would miss this opportunity.
The Inner Region was vast and there were also an unusually large number of families of all sizes. However, only seven families were influential. All the changes were caused by these seven families. These seven families weren’t on an equal footing. The most stable, strict and cruel rules applied everywhere in this world. There were levels everywhere. The Inner Region was certainly the same.
The seven families were divided into three levels. Even though the seven families all had the power to speak in the Inner Region, their voices were greatly different because of the level division. There were four third-rank families. They were at most just sidekicks in the Inner Region, while there were two second-rank families. They were the speakers second only to the first-rank family. The first-rank family stood at the highest position and had the absolute power to speak in the Inner Region, and they were also the only one!
There were layers of strict hierarchy in the Inner Region, making the power all the more tempting. Being able to reach the position of a first-rate family, it could be said that they could do whatever they wanted in the Inner Region! Naturally, it wasn’t easy to become a first-rate family. You had to convince everyone with your strength and background! This was the meaning of the advancement of forces.
There was an advancement of forces every 3,000 years, and the strength of the Inner Region changed every 3,000 years. The last family in the advancement every time would be kicked out of the Inner Region completely! The Inner Region would spend the next 3,000 years in peace under the leadership of the first family, waiting for the changes in the next 3,000 years. So, the Yun family could be said to be luckily in time for the advancement of the forces this time!
