Chapter 79: Entering the Castle by Force

“Ye Ping, alert my father that we’ve discovered some Nanman savages outside the castle!” Ye Mu frantically urged. Those savages looked tall and brutish, their footsteps steady. One look and anyone could tell these people had cultivated Celestial Chi.

“At once!” Ye Ping quickly raced toward the Patriarch Residency from the castle wall.

Big Man Lei, Tuo Bayu, and the rest had arrived at the bottom of the castle wall. Tuo Bayu raised his head to speak, “Listen up people of the castle, we’re just passing through and we’re tired. We need a place to rest so open your doors and we’ll reward you handsomely with money!”

Tuo Bayu was a daring man. In a small place like this, he did not think to watch his tone.

Ye Mu did not believe him. He felt uneasy. The Nanman savages were daring people. Rumor had it that the Nanman Kingdom had conquered the seven surrounding countries, possessed lands three times the size of the Xiwu Empire, and were well-versed in the art of war. When setting foot in other lands, the Nanman savages spoke with arrogance.

“The Ye Clan doesn’t accept random strangers. Go find some other place to rest!” Ye Mu steeled himself and spoke.

Tuo Bayu scoffed. “Open up, you hear me? Otherwise, I’m going to destroy your castle gates!” His voice was menacing as he was exerting his Ninth Stage pressure.

Big Man Lei observed Ye Mu. The boy was in his early twenties. He spoke with conviction and looked to be a Seventh or Eighth Stage combatant. Recalling the information that Big Man Lei had gathered about Donglin County, he remembered that the Ye Clan was a nobody and thus, was not a very powerful clan. There were eighteen clans inhabiting the Lianyun Mountains known as the Eighteen Houses of Lianyun. The Ye Clan must be one of them.

Tuo Bayu could not get the clan to open its doors. He turned to Big Man Lei. “Big Man Lei, let’s just head in and trash the place.” He had his intentions. With a castle as big as the Ye Castle, perhaps there might be some women in there. Once they had conquered the castle, they could have some fun. Without Big Man Lei’s approval, however, he dared not move.

“Control yourself!” Big Man Lei shot Tuo Bayu a stare before raising his head to speak, “Listen to me, Ye Clan. I’m old friends with the head of the Eighteen Houses of Lianyun. We’re hoping we could make a pitstop at your place. It won’t take long. Now, open up!” Big Man Lei’s news was outdated. He had no idea that the Ye Clan had already obliterated the Yun Clan.

Tuo Bayu and Lan Guzhuo looked at their honcho with admiration. They thought about how he was fit to be a leader of the gang. He knew everything, even the Eighteen Houses of Lianyun. Now that he had mentioned their name and spoke of the leader’s name, surely the Ye Clan would open its doors to them, right?

While they were thinking about that, a group of derogatory remarks came from the wall.

“Old friends my *ss, get lost man!”

“Yeah, f*ck off Nanman ruffians, now!”

“A bunch of Nanman savages, how dare you even have the thought of staying in our place!”

With such a deep hatred for the Yun Clan, it was guaranteed that the Ye Clan would lash out at them. The moment Big Man Lei spoke of his alliance with the Yun Clan, the Ye Clan members proceeded to lambast them with any insults that came to their mind.

Big Man Lei assumed that by raising the name of the head of Eighteen Houses of Lianyun, the Ye Clan would have subserviently opened their doors. He did not expect the clan to have such a strong reaction. Seeing how Tuo Bayu and Lan Guzhuo were laughing under their noses, Big Man Lei was embarrassed.
