The youth seemed to be sleeping peacefully by the side of the pool. However, within his mind, one image after another appeared. This was all that he had experienced since he could remember until the moment of his death!

The young man's name was Yang Feng, and at the age of sixteen, he was a member of the Yang family, the largest ancient martial family in China. However, he was born as a concubine, and before Yang Feng was ten years old, he didn't even know who his father was.

Yang Feng's mother was a Miao Clan's girl, and he was also the daughter of the Miao Clan's Patriarch. It could be said that to be able to become the grandson of the Miao Clan's Patriarch in such a small mountain village was something very enviable, but the reality was the exact opposite! When Yang Feng was young, he received the disdain and supercilious looks of the entire village people. Because Yang Feng did not have a father, he was a wild child!

In such a Miao Family encampment, a child without a father simply could not be admitted by those Miao people. Even if it was the grandson of the Miao Family Patriarch, he still did not have any preferential treatment, so from what Yang Feng could remember, he had had enough of the other children in the encampment.

However, because Yang Feng's mother had Yang Feng before he was even married, he was already abandoned by the people in the mountain stronghold. Furthermore, Yang Feng's grandfather, who was also the chief of the stronghold, had also announced that he had left his relationship with Yang Feng's mother, and as a result, Yang Feng could only move away from the stronghold with his mother and live in a place not too far away from the mountain range.

He felt that no matter the time he was with his mother, he would be able to live a happy life no matter what. However, he would occasionally ask his mother why he didn't have a father, and at this time, his mother would always silently shed tears. And every time he saw his mother cry, the young Yang Feng knew that his mother missed his father very much, and at this time, Yang Feng would hate his father for not coming to see his mother and him!

However, the happy days between Yang Feng and his mother ended when he was ten years old, because his young mother passed away due to illness. At that time, Yang Feng's mother was not even thirty, but the many years of hard work in raising Yang Feng made him look as old as fifty.

Yang Feng, who was still ten years old at the time, buried his own mother by himself. No one knew about it in the village, nor would he tell the people in the village about it, he originally wanted to stay by his mother's side until he died. However, not long after his mother died, he was taken away!

The person who came to pick Yang Feng up said that it was sent by his father. This sudden turn of events made Yang Feng at a loss of what to do, and he was just blindly received by the Yang family!

The Yang family was the largest ancient martial family in China, and was said to have existed since the end of the Southern Song Dynasty. It was said that the Yang family had existed since the Southern Song Dynasty, and even after many dynasties of change, they still existed, which was enough to show the strength of the Yang family.

At the back of the manor, there was a forbidden area. It was said that in the past, the Yang family's ancestors first met their wife, Xiao Long Nu, and their family members were sent to the tomb to learn high quality martial arts. Of course, the elites of the family members would also be sent to the tomb to study high quality martial arts!

The Yang family inherited a lot of martial arts, but the most powerful ones were the Dugu Sword Technique and the Nine Yin Meridians. These two cultivation techniques could only be practiced by the direct descendants of the family, and they did not even have the chance to experience one like Yang Feng.

The Guo Family's ancestor was the Guo Qing who guarded Xiangyang and prevented the Mongols from invading, but the one who created the Guo Family was also not him, but his son, Guo Polu. Their family's martial arts were the Decapitation Dragon's Eighteen Palms and the dog beating method, of course there were Nine Yin Meridians s as well.

However, the Guo and Yang families were old friends, they didn't differentiate between each other. They shared many things, so the combination of these two families basically controlled most of the economic lifeline of China. They had deep connections in both the business and political world.

There were also some other ancient sects like Shaolin, Wu Dang, Emei and some other ancient sects, these were the strongest sects, but one of the Emei Faction's ancestor was the Guo Family's founder, Guo Polu, so they had extremely close ties with the Guo Family. It was said that the Wu Dang Faction's founder, Zhang Sanfeng, had deep ties with the Yang Family's ancestor, so Wu Dang's relationship with the Yang Family was also very deep!

The current patriarch of the Yang family was called Yang Lie. He had two sons, Yang Guang and Yang Ming, while Yang Feng's father was Yang Ming! Yang Guang and Yang Ming were both candidates for the position of the next Patriarch. Therefore, the competition between the two of them was extremely intense.

And when Yang Feng came to this house, he understood the reason why he was brought here. That was, Yang Ming did not have a son, only a daughter, and Yang Guang already had two sons.

Yang Ming was actually a playboy, he had shown mercy everywhere before. If it wasn't because of the Patriarch's competition that had reached a critical juncture, he wouldn't have sent people to investigate whether the girls who were related to him had given him a son, and he wouldn't have found Yang Feng!

Yang Ming and Yang Feng's mother had only known each other for a few days. At that time, when Yang Ming was travelling in the southwest mountains, he coincidentally met Yang Feng's mother, and during those few days, Yang Feng's mother unconditionally fell in love with Yang Ming, and gave everything he had to Yang Ming. However, Yang Ming's promise to come back and fetch Yang Feng's mother disappeared the next time!

Although Yang Feng knew that being accepted into this family was just Yang Ming competing for the position of Patriarch, he didn't care. What he wanted the most now was Yang Ming's fatherly love, but reality had disappointed him!

Furthermore, because Yang Feng was born from a concubine, he was discriminated against in this family. The young Yang Feng was often insulted and bullied by the direct descendants of the family.

He would frequently bring other disciples of his clan to bully Yang Feng, and would frequently beat Yang Feng up until his body was covered with wounds. But Yang Feng had endured all of this because he did not want to leave his father's side, even though this father did not care about him at all!

In order to attract Yang Ming's attention, Yang Feng had to do his best to show off himself in all aspects. Although it wasn't that direct descendants couldn't learn the Ancient Martial Arts of the family, the children of the Ancient Martial Family had to learn it as well, so Yang Feng had to show off himself intentionally in this aspect. No matter what kind of knowledge he could understand after reading it once, or even memorize it, so his results were naturally the best in the family!

However, six years had passed, and Yang Feng had already turned sixteen, with the exception of getting humiliated in the family, but he had not gotten a single chance at all. Of course, that was because in these six years, Yang Ming's first wife had finally given him a son, so she had not noticed Yang Feng's existence at all! His father, Yang Ming, was also not aware of Yang Feng's actions at all!

However, Yang Feng had endured so humiliatingly in exchange for today's chase, and the reason why he was being hunted was because Yang Feng was too outstanding! The current Patriarch Yang Lie should be said to be Yang Feng's grandfather. A few days ago, he announced that the next Patriarch would be Yang Feng's and his generation's younger generation, and not between Yang Guang and Yang Ming!

And at this time, Yang Ming finally remembered that he had a son like Yang Feng, and after a careful examination, he found out that Yang Feng was actually so outstanding. This kind of outstanding Yang Feng would definitely affect his newborn son's ability to compete for the position of Patriarch, so naturally, he chose to give up on Yang Feng!

Hence, the scene of the chase at the very beginning appeared. If not for Yang Feng secretly learning a bit of martial arts from the disciples of the family and obtaining some results from his own bitter training, it would have been impossible for him to escape to this place under the pursuit of the two loyal servants of the family.

In the end, Yang Feng still died under the hands of the two loyal servants, but now they had come back to life again and a legend of the first phase had begun!
