354 Trouble Comes Knocking! (2/2)

This Zhu Shan's excuse was impeccable from the very start. Even Ye Yuan was also hoodwinked.

The lifesaving spirit medicine did not arrive. Zhu Shan arrested Li Hong and four in his rage. This was also human nature.

After all, to the Cloud Prancing Tribe, Young Patriarch was their future, their hope.

But right when tears were flowing down Zhu Shan's old face, a young man behind him sold him out.

The others were still fine, but the excitement and exhilaration on the youth's face could not be concealed no matter what. To this end, he even lowered his head, fearful that others may discover it.

It was just that this scene was captured by Ye Yuan.

But Ye Yuan did not say anything much. This was other people's family affairs after all. He, an outsider, naturally could not poke his nose in. But it left a mark in Ye Yuan's heart.

After all, his goal was still to borrow the use of the transmission array.

Li Hong, Li Yan, and the rest took a blow from this news. Their minds were already in kind of a stupor long ago.

”We're at fault, we're really guilty! It's all our fault that we didn't bring the Purple Illusion Blood Ginseng back in time! Except . . . Elder Zhu Shan, can you let us see the young patriarch for one last time?” Li Hong said agitatedly.

But Zhu Shan snorted coldly and said, ”Humph! Young Patriarch was our Cloud Prancing Tribe's future. You committed such a heinous crime against him and still have the face to see him? Aren't you all afraid of profaning him and letting him unable to get peace in death?”

Zhu Shan's words struck the heart word by word. With him saying that, how could Li Hong have the face to go meet Young Patriarch a final time?

Seeing that his words already took effect, Zhu Shan said to the people behind him again, ”What are you all still standing there for? Quickly take them down! En? Hang on! Who are these two people?”

Actually, Zhu Shan saw Ye Yuan and Lan Feng long ago. He only pointed the spearhead to Ye Yuan at this time.

He did not pay heed to Ye Yuan. It was just that Li Hong they all actually brought a Third Level Sea Transformation Realm back. This made Zhu Shan rather fearful.

Zhu Shan's words made Li Hong feel frightened in his heart. He only remembered that Ye Yuan was still by the side at this time.

Causing Young Patriarch's death already made him unbelievably guilty. If he even implicated his savior, he would really find it hard to absolve his sins even with a hundred deaths.

”Elder Zhu Shan, the five of us met a Crimson Tailed Scorpion on the brink of advancing in the Level Four gale region. Fortunately, Young Master Ji rescued us. I request for Elder Zhu Shan not to make things difficult for him.” Li Hong hurriedly explained.

Who knew that Zhu Shan's face changed and he said grimly, ”You all are clearly aware that the tribe is facing troubled times right now. You actually still dare to bring outsiders over?! In my view, they are highly suspicious! Did you all purposely collude with outsiders to harm Young Patriarch?”

”How can Elder Zhu Shan say such things? The five of us are staunch and steadfast to Young Patriarch. This point, Patriarch can stand witness! Young Master Ji and us really just met coincidentally! I hope that Elder Zhu Shan can let them leave!” Li Hong was taken aback as he said.

”Humph! Young Patriarch's ailment is originally very odd already. The cause still hasn't been found out up until now. Young Patriarch just passed away last night, and you guys brought outsiders to the tribe. It's seriously too suspicious! The way I see it, it's still better to keep the two of them here! If investigations reveal in the end that they really have nothing to do with Young Patriarch's death, we'll naturally let them leave!” Zhu Shan said.

Ye Yuan's eyebrows furrowed. He did not find trouble, but he did not think that trouble still came knocking.

Immediately, he said icily, ”Keeping us here also has to depend on whether or not you have this capability!”

Zhu Shan smiled coldly and said, ”Heh heh, revealed your true colors? If you don't have any ulterior motives, why would you be afraid of us investigating? Looking at your appearance, are you planning on resisting stubbornly to the end? Isn't it just a Third Level Sea Transformation Realm? How can our Cloud Prancing Tribe be unable to even bring out a couple of Sea Transformation Realms?”

Ye Yuan was just about to speak when Li Hong resolved his heart and blocked in front of Ye Yuan!
