Chapter 61 - The Aftermath (1/2)
Chapter 61: The Aftermath
A group of clan members hurried to rescue the injured. Words could not describe the anguish and sorrow that they experienced at their men’s deaths. Some were even crying at the top of their lungs.
Ye Chen walked over to Ye Zhantian’s side and placed his right hand on his father’s wrist. His father’s meridian channels were in a bad shape but thank goodness something kept his heart from giving way. Ye Chen looked at the item in his father’s hands. It was Ye Rou’s jade pendant. Grateful for what Ye Rou had done, he shot a look of gratitude at her as she was walking toward them.
Ye Zhantian’s Celestial Chi was fully depleted. Immediately, Ye Chen inserted a Thunder Quintessence Pill into his father’s body and then took out a piece of Earth Quintessence Pill.
“What’s this?” Ye Zhantian looked at the pill in Ye Chen’s hands. It was ash green and he had not seen it before.
“An Earth Quintessence Pill. Eat it father, quickly.” Ye Chen was heartbroken at the sight of his gravely wounded tiger father.
Ye Zhantian glanced at Ye Chen in surprise. Where on earth did he get such a valuable medicine though now was not the time for such questions. He hurriedly took it.
“Little Chen, where’s grandpa? Why isn’t he with you?” Ye Zhantian struggled to speak.
Ye Chen gasp. He was so concerned about his father’s wellbeing that he had forgotten about grandpa!
“Grandpa and I encountered some resistance along the way. He covered me while I made the trip back here. You rest here father, I’ll go look for grandpa!” Ye Chen replied.
“Go now,” Ye Zhantian ordered. He was worried about Ye Changxuan’s safety.
Just when Ye Chen was about to leave, Ye Zhanxiong and the rest roared triumphantly. “Sixth Uncle’s back!”
Ye Changxuan swiftly entered the castle and landed at the center. He inspected the surroundings and saw Yun Yixuan’s lifeless body. Though a little surprised, he was relieved nonetheless. The battle at the Ye Castle had finally come to an end.
“Sixth Uncle, you’re hurt.” Ye Zhanxiong noticed his uncle’s pale complexion. His clothes were slightly tattered and his shoulders injured. Ye Zhanxiong quickly helped Ye Changxuan and administered some treatment.
“Don’t worry about me, help the rest.” Ye Changxuan brushed him off.
“Grandpa, are you okay?” Ye Chen rushed over anxiously. By right, the three low rank nine combatants should not have given his grandpa a difficult time.
“Those scumbags from the Yun Clan loaded their sleeved darts with poison. A little longer and I wouldn’t have made it. I managed to take two out and let loose of them. Then, they decided to retreat and stop pursuing me after they got some message.” Ye Changxuan forced a smile.
The Yun Clan had this all thought out through. Three rank nine combatants ambushed Ye Chen and Ye Changxuan with Yun Yixuan and Niu Er coming over to kill them. Then, have the said three rank combatants gang up on grandpa. This was all well planned but neither of them would have predicted the duo would arrive home so soon. With Ye Chen’s impeccable timing, he managed to defeat Yun Yixuan and Niu Er and turned the tables, causing the clan to suffer the loss of two experienced fighters.
“Who did the Yun Clan send to attack the castle?” Ye Changxuan inquired as he was looking at the deceased members of the Ye Clan being carried away.
“Yun Yixuan led the attack alongside a guy named Niu Er. There were two rank nine combatants, nine rank eight combatants, and a few top rank seven combatants,” Ye Zhanlong replied.
“Yun Yixuan and Niu Er?” Ye Changxuan gasp. He knew Niu Er was a bandit from the nearby mountains. He wondered how did he get involved with the likes of the Yun Clan. Niu Er specialized in Chi Construct, even he dare not underestimate him. He expressed his surprise. “I didn’t know that Ye Zhantian’s power had grown tremendously.”
