Two days later, Ye Changxuan and his men returned to the Ye Castle from their raid. When asked about the details, it was said the Yun Clan had fallen. Yun Yiyang had perished in the battle and they even discovered Ye Kongyan’s corpse in the Yun Castle’s cellar with his meridian channels crippled. Following Ye Moyang’s death, there was no one to care for him. Naturally, the Yun Clan had him thrown into the cellar and left him to fight for his own life.
The Ye Clan members cheered as they received news of the Yun Clan’s demise. Words could not describe their joy. The Ye Castle had fortified the castle. They were under the impression that the Second-Rank Prince of Donglin would make a move and so, they were on their greatest guard. The Ye Clan members had only eased up after two to three days when the prince did not show up. In the event that the prince appeared, the clan would be under massive pressure.
With the prince nowhere in sight, Ye Chen got down to the letter for Mingyuan to take back to Leo King. Ye Chen relayed his message while Little Tanuki jotted down the words for him. Mingyuan was set to depart from the Ye Castle tomorrow.
During that period, Ye Chen continued to train Crimson Cloud Searing Skies and Fury of Shattering Earth. Ye Chen had finally mastered Crimson Cloud Searing Skies while Fury of Shattering Earth was Minor Arete. After thorough research, Ye Chen reworked Crimson Cloud Searing Skies with a touch of thunder element and named it Heaven Thunder Rend so that his people could study and practice it. As for Fury of Shattering Earth, he required more time to fully grasp it.
For a moment, the Ye Castle had seen many peaceful days. The men trained diligently. There may be many proficient fighters in the clan but the Second-Rank Prince of Donglin’s threats were etched into their minds like a dark cloud looming over them.
“Third Brother, are you sure you want to send Little Xuan to the Emerald Cloud Sect? She might just accomplish something if she stayed a little longer right here.” Ye Zhantian suggested. It was around that time of the year where the Emerald Cloud Sect was beginning to recruit students. Ye Zhanxiong had packed all of Ye Xuan’s belongings.
“Yeah. I’ve given it a long thought. Little Xuan isn’t doing much for the clan anyway, best to send her off to the Emerald Cloud Sect. Besides, we might come into contact with them at some point, so I might as well send her there for some training beforehand,” Ye Zhanxiong explained. After ingesting a large amount of medicinal pills and herbs, Ye Xuan’s power level was mid-Eighth Stage, which was considered impressive. With so many Ninth Stage combatants in the castle, one less Eighth Stage combatant did not matter. With her talents, she ought to be placed at the Emerald Cloud Sect where she might be a boon to the Ye Clan in the future.
“Little Xuan, do you really want to go to Emerald Cloud Sect?” Ye Chen asked Ye Xuan, having overheard the adults’ conversation.
“Yeah, Brother Ye Chen. I’d like to see the world and grow stronger before coming back home.” Ye Xuan nodded her head. The Ye Castle was her roots so she would never forget them.
“Well, if that’s the case, I won’t say anything else. I’ll let Third Uncle send you off. Remember to watch yourself in your journey. As I said, no matter where you go, the Ye Clan will always be your home. If someone ever picks on you, you come back to me. I’ll defend you.”
“Yeah.” Ye Xuan nodded. The girl was overwhelmed with sadness as tears were welling up in her eyes.
Following a discussion with the elderly, they too had agreed for Ye Zhanxiong to send Ye Xuan off to the Emerald Cloud Sect.
