79 -78: The Enemy in the Shadows

“Father, shall I send someone to take care of them?”

Jiang Xiaotang arrived at Jiang Tiannan’s side, his expression ugly.

Standing to the side, Jiang Yin was also looking at Jiang Tiannan.

Today was indeed a day of disgrace for the Jiang Family!

Jiang Tiannan sat there, his face pale, and glanced at Jiang Xiaotang before calmly saying, “Was the idea for that Violent Blood Pill yours or your elder brother’s?”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaotang immediately lowered his head and said nothing.

Jiang Tiannan withdrew his gaze and spoke slowly, “Although I do value my reputation, reputation is never gained in such a manner.

This time, we were the ones in the wrong.”

After speaking, Jiang Tiannan let out a long sigh, his eyes deep with thought.

Zhou Youwei, after all, was his granddaughter.

If they hadn’t severed their relationship, today’s pride would still belong to him.

If only…

“Father needn’t be like this,” Jiang Yin softly persuaded, “No one is to blame for this matter.

The only fault lies with Zhou Youwei for not recognizing what’s good for her.

The Emperor Immortal Sect is nothing but a lingering breath; once the Emperor Immortal Sect perishes, they will not fare well either.”

“Grandfather, you don’t need to feel sad either.

Even if Zhou Youwei’s talent is decent, staying in the Emperor Immortal Sect with such an arrogant and ignorant husband, she ultimately doesn’t have much of a future,” Yun Chen also chimed in.

“When Chen’er ascends to the position of the Divine Son of the Heavens Cloud Divine Sect, I will restore your reputation, Grandfather.”

Yun Chen said resolutely.

“Chen’er is thoughtful,” Jiang Tiannan said, revealing a rare smile.

Yes, the Emperor Immortal Sect was nothing but a dying flame and would disappear someday.

Compared with Yun Chen and Yun Tong, coming from the Heavens Cloud Divine Sect, a bright future awaited.

In time, Jiang Tiannan would still have honor!

“Father, then…

shall we send someone to kill them?” Jiang Xiaotang asked timidly.

“Kill them my ass!” Jiang Tiannan glared at Jiang Xiaotang and said, “If we really did that, and word got out, it would make the Jiang Family even more disgraced.”

“Let us speak no more of this matter.”

Jiang Tiannan snorted coldly.

“Yes,” Jiang Xiaotang shrank his neck and dared not mention it again.

Meanwhile.

Ye Xuan and his companions had already left Huainan Mountain and entered Huainan City.

Huainan City, lying close to Huainan Mountain, was a city controlled by the Jiang Family.

The elder Hua Feng had booked a private room in Huainan City, intending to see Ye Xuan off.

However, Huang Wenzhong, Liao Yue, and the others, after leaving the Jiang Family, bid farewell to Ye Xuan and left on their own initiative.

“Just say what you want to say, no need to beat around the bush,” Ye Xuan said to Elder Hua Feng, sitting opposite him, speaking slowly.

Old Man Hua Feng let out a slight smile, set down his teacup slowly, and then spoke, “Actually, I wanted to ask who was the Alchemist of that Top Grade Nine Transformation Spirit Pill.

I would like to pay them a visit.”

“I refined it,” Ye Xuan admitted openly.

Old Man Hua Feng was initially taken aback, then chuckled, “You must be joking, Mr.

Ye.

But it’s fine if you don’t wish to reveal it.

If you happen to have such Elixirs in the future, you must inform me.”

“If you really want one, just come find me directly at the Emperor Immortal Sect,” Ye Xuan said with a small smile.

Old Man Hua Feng’s expression changed, and he excitedly said, “Is that distinguished person at the Emperor Immortal Sect?”

Ye Xuan, somewhat amused, nodded and said, “Didn’t I tell you?

The person who refined the pill is me.”

“So it is, so it is,” Old Man Hua Feng bowed in acknowledgement, showing an ‘I understand’ expression.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be heading back to my sect,” Ye Xuan said, uninterested in delaying the conversation with the old man.

These days, telling the truth seemed to make no one believe you.

But this wasn’t Old Man Hua Feng’s fault – who would think a sixteen-year-old young man would be capable of refining a Top Grade Nine Transformation Spirit Pill?

After all, even Nine Tripods Alchemists couldn’t achieve such a feat.

“Mr.

Ye, please wait,” Old Man Hua Feng said earnestly, “Are you planning to return directly to your sect just like this?”

“What else?” Ye Xuan asked in return.

Old Man Hua Feng shook his head, “Absolutely not.

If Mr.

Ye returns directly to your sect, you will surely encounter ambushes on the road.”

“I know of some experts,” the senior said.

“Mr.

Ye might as well stay a few days in Huainan City.

It wouldn’t be too late to depart after I’ve made arrangements.”

“No need,” Ye Xuan stood up directly and said to Zhou Youwei and Zhou Bingyi, “Let’s go.”

“Mr.

Ye!” The elderly Hua Feng felt surprised, not expecting Ye Xuan to refuse, and hastily added, “Liao Yue from the Dan Yun Sect, that disciple of the Elixir Master Yu Hua, and other powers, they all have ill intentions towards you.

If you go back to the sect so directly, something will definitely go wrong!”

“If they dare to come at me, I dare to kill,” Ye Xuan answered with a nonchalant smile, as if he was discussing something trivial.

“Mr.

Ye, if they make a move, they will certainly take into account Miss Zhou’s involvement.

The experts they send will definitely be stronger.

You wouldn’t want to put Miss Zhou and others in danger, would you?” Hua Feng turned anxious.

Ye Xuan put his hands in his pockets, shook his head, and laughed, “Anywhere I am, is naturally the safest place.”

“……” Hua Feng was at a loss for words.

How could this guy be so stubborn?

It’s all been spelled out so clearly, yet he remains so arrogant?

Back at the Jiang Family, they gave him face, which is why they didn’t push things too far.

But if he’s not around, Liao Yue, Yu Hua, and the others would surely stop at nothing!

“Miss Zhou!” Hua Feng could only turn to Zhou Youwei for help.

He realized that there was no reasoning with Ye Xuan; his only hope was Zhou Youwei.

“We appreciate the assistance Mr.

Hua previously offered, so we won’t trouble you further,” Zhou Youwei said with a slight smile, bowing slightly.

“Let’s go,” Zhou Youwei said, leading Zhou Bingyi as they followed Ye Xuan.

“Miss Zhou!” Hua Feng wanted to retain them, but by then Zhou Youwei and the others had already left.

“Ah!” Hua Feng sighed deeply, his complexion sour.

“This Ye Xuan, isn’t he a bit too proud and arrogant?

Even if he has a master behind him, he shouldn’t be so insolent!” Hua Feng’s expression darkened.

“Besides, who knows if what he says is true or false.”

“If the Emperor Immortal Sect truly had such a master, his name should have already shaken the Southern Domain…”

“Could this fellow be blustering to deceive me?”

After pondering for a moment, Hua Feng decided, “No, I must have someone follow closely and see what kind of confidence he has.”

……

After leaving the tavern, Ye Xuan, Zhou Youwei, and Zhou Bingyi headed towards the Spirit Boat ferry port in Huainan City.

It was thousands of miles from Huainan Mountain to the Emperor Immortal Sect, and since neither Ye Xuan nor Zhou Bingyi could fly, relying solely on Zhou Youwei to fly directly back to the Emperor Immortal Sect would be far too dangerous.

Taking a Spirit Boat was naturally the best choice.

The Spirit Boat ferry port had boats going to various places in the Southern Domain, and of course, there were those bound for Lie Tian Upper Country.

And naturally, Ye Xuan and his companions took the Spirit Boat heading to Lie Tian Upper Country.

“Will we be targeted if we take the Spirit Boat?” Zhou Bingyi asked nervously, looking around.

Ye Xuan was completely relaxed, hands in his pockets, swaggering onto the Spirit Boat and laughed, “Why are you so timid?

With your brother-in-law here, anyone who targets us is on a path to death.”

Zhou Bingyi couldn’t help but roll her eyes, and holding Zhou Youwei’s arm, she huffed, “Rely on you?

Forget it, I’d rather stay close to my sister for safety.”

But after she said this, Zhou Bingyi looked around cautiously and whispered, “Sister, we’ll be alright, won’t we?”

Zhou Youwei smiled sweetly and softly assured, “It’ll be fine.”

The three boarded the Spirit Boat, one leading and two following.

The Spirit Boat hovered in the air, five hundred feet long and nearly one hundred feet wide, accommodating thousands of people.

The boat’s design was similar to a ship, with four levels inside.

The bottom layer had five hundred individual rooms, the middle layer seven hundred, and the upper layer a hundred, while the top layer only had thirty.

The rooms on the upper layer were classified as special-grade rooms, with the highest price.

Zhou Youwei initially intended to book two high-grade rooms, but Ye Xuan suggested that since they’d sold the Nine Transformation Spirit Pills for so many Spirit Stones, they might as well take special-grade rooms.

So the three of them headed to the top layer.

“Just two rooms left?

Perfect, we’ll take them,” Ye Xuan said after inquiring and discovering there were exactly two special-grade rooms left, so he promptly made the decision.

“Sorry, but we’ve reserved these two rooms,” a voice suddenly interrupted.

Then a richly dressed young man arrived on the upper level, casually tossing out fifty middle-grade Spirit Stones and declared with a grandeur, “The extra ten stones can be used by Old Jia to buy some clothes.”

“So it is Young Master Chen!” The middle-aged, portly man attending to the guests smoothly pocketed the Spirit Stones and then bowed with a smile to the young man, saying, “Young Master Chen, your rooms are ready.

Please, this way.”
