Chapter 351: Chapter 166 Great Divine Power (Subscribe Please)_2

Having heard his words, two ethereal shadows glanced at each other across the void, but both shook their heads.

"Father, future generations have their own fortunes."

"Even if it is an overwhelming sin, both you and I cannot intervene."

After the ominous shadow finished speaking, the stern and dignified elder dispersed silently.

"All is dictated by fate..."

After a long while.

Zhou Tiance cried and laughed, hunched over as he walked out of the ancestral hall; after closing the door, a slight relief appeared on his face, clearly in not too bad a mood.

He looked up to see a figure before the mansion and, coughing, asked: "Has there been any news from the Southern Barbarians?"

Chen Ke stood not far outside the door, hesitating to speak: "I was just about to report to you."

"Oh?" Zhou Tiance rarely showed a smile and asked, "Has the Barbarian Clan already broken through the South-Garrison Pass?"

Unexpectedly, Chen Ke shook his head.

Zhou Tiance’s smile faded a bit: "Were they repelled by Gongye Jiahong?"

Chen Ke shook his head again.

Zhou Tiance suddenly had a bad premonition and asked grimly: "Speak in detail!"

"My lord," Chen Ke hesitated for a moment before saying: "The Barbarian Clan has been defeated, and it was Chen Taiping’s second son, Chen Yi, who came to the rescue."

Upon saying this, he paused and only continued after seeing Zhou Tiance’s composed expression, describing the report from South-Garrison Pass.

"After the news arrived, the Holy Emperor was greatly pleased and has already decreed to award Chen Yi the title of Baron Yingwu. Moreover..."

Chen Ke hesitated: "It seems the Holy Emperor intends to arrange a marriage with the Wuan Army, but it is not clear whether it will be Chen Yi or Yuan Er."

Zhou Tiance’s body suddenly trembled, covering his chest and gasping: "How could this be, that beast, he..."

Before he could finish, he coughed up a pool of blood and collapsed back, his face pale as gold paper.

"My lord?!"

Chen Ke quickly supported him, stuffing several pills into his mouth.

After a busy while.

Zhou Tiance’s voice weakened: "If that is the case, did Yuan Er also manage to escape?"

Chen Ke nodded, his expression uncertain.

"My lord, what’s done is done; you should take care of your health."

"No, it’s nothing. You... go find Wan Yi, and have her write a letter to Yuan Er."

Zhou Tiance waved his hand, struggling to breathe: "Just, just say I miss him and want him to return to the Capital City Prefecture... go quickly!"

Chen Ke, feeling helpless, had to leave him and walked quickly outside.

He knew clearly that Zhou Tiance was adamant and any persuasion would only lead to extreme reactions.

But having Zhou Wanyi write the letter...

Chen Ke gave a bitter smile.

Not to mention whether the young lady was willing, just the idea of Chen Yuan rushing back to the Capital City Prefecture gave him a bad premonition.

Especially since he had learned that Lu Kai, the "Hidden Dragon Seed," had been ordered to betray Chen Yuan.

"They clearly had said that they would entrust the ’Hidden Dragon’ entirely to Mr. Yuan, and now..."

"Alas..."

As the courtyard housing the ancestral hall quieted down, Zhou Tiance leaned weakly against the porch, his head hanging down, his beard and hair concealing his facial expressions.

Only those murky eyes harbored a trace of madness.

"Fate... I do not believe in fate, I refuse to believe!!"

...

Meanwhile, inside the Duke Wuan’s mansion on Fengtong Street, just two alleys away.

Snow piled up outside the mansion gate, with carriage tracks stretching from the Imperial City to the mansion gate.

Chen Lide personally led Liu Gao and his party through the gate.

"Mr. Liu, you’ve come personally late at night, is there a new decree from the Holy Emperor for Taiping?"

"My second brother is still in the palace and has not returned; whatever matters there are can be sent back with him."

Liu Gao smiled and greeted with folded hands: "It is indeed a matter of great importance, but we shall discuss it after seeing the Marquis."

Chen Lide sighed in relief, better good news than bad.

After all, battles were looming at the borders, the Southern Barbarians were attacking the South-Garrison Pass, and the Demon Court was also ominously watching from outside Beixiong Pass.

Originally, the Wuan Army was only on standby, but now they had also received the Imperial decree to rush to Beixiong Pass for garrison duty.

Accompanying them were several University Scholars from the Capital Academy, aimed to prevent the sudden attacks of the thirty-six Demon Generals. freewebnoveℓ.com

With all this, even Duke Wuan Chen Taiping was busy, spending most of his time outside Capital City Prefecture in the main camp supervising troops.

Furthermore, with both his eldest and second sons trapped in Southern Barbarian Land, the atmosphere in Duke Wuan Mansion had been notably grim lately.

It had been a long time since any good news had come.

Soon, Chen Taiping, Xia Wanwan, and others, hearing the news, hurried over, and even Zhou Wanyi, who had not shown up for a long time, came to the main hall.

Liu Gao didn’t beat around the bush and immediately declared: "...For defeating the large army of the Southern Barbarians in one battle... bestowing the title of Yingwu Baron, with a fief of a thousand households!"

"Duke Wuan Chen Taiping has taught his son well, reward ten thousand gold. Congratulations Marquis, best wishes Marquis."

Chen Taiping was stunned again and exchanged a glance with Xia Wanwan, seeing joy in her eyes,

"Mr. Liu, did my son really resolve the situation at the South-Garrison Pass?"

"The Holy Emperor has issued the decree, what doubt could there be?"

Liu Gao folded his hands, smiling broadly: "Marquis, please accept the decree quickly, I still need to hurry to the South-Garrison Pass, hoping that Baron Yingwu hasn’t left yet."

After Chen Taiping received the Imperial decree and understood the entire sequence of events, he could finally confirm that he had not misheard; it was indeed Chen Yi who had resolved the crisis at the South-Garrison Pass.

Xia Wanwan felt a mix of joy and sorrow, "It’s good that Yi Er is safe..."

Chen Taiping chuckled and nodded: "Now you can rest assured."

Though that was said, only at this moment did the two of them truly relieve their concerns.

Especially Xia Wanwan.

Ever since she learned that Chen Yi had gone to the Southern Barbarian Land, and subsequently that the secret realm was surrounded and the South-Garrison Pass was under siege, she had not had a single peaceful day.

Every time she thought of Chen Yi, so young and having joined the Grand Void Sect, she felt some regret.

In the corner, Zhou Wanyi silently fingered her Buddha beads, her face neither joyous nor sad, as if she hadn’t heard a thing.

However, once everyone in the Chen Family rejoiced, she then asked, "Since Yi Er is safe, Yuan Er should be safe too, right?"
