Chapter 1092: Chapter 1088 Self-Bla
“I have things to attend to! Taiping, I’m leaving first!”
Seeing that Wang Ke’er was about to lose her composure, Ye Tian did not linger any longer. He quickly picked up his pace and dashed away. The two old n, Ye Zhihuan and Ye Zhicang, seeing Ye Tian leave, promptly followed. It wasn’t long before the three had left the bustling area of Jiang City.
The three traveled swiftly and soon left the downtown area of Jiang City, once again reaching the outskirts.
Ye Tian then slowed down and said to Ye Zhihuan and Ye Zhicang, “I originally thought that the Spirit Vein under Jiang City, which has existed for thousands of years, would make the citizens sowhat reliant on the power of the Spirit Vein Stone. So when it was taken, I expected the citizens’ spirits to be affected.
But just now I saw in the bustling area that aside from being anxious and uneasy, the citizens showed no special expressions. It seems their spirits are normal. From this perspective, the loss of the Spirit Vein Stone might actually be a good thing for Jiang City!”
Ye Zhihuan imdiately said, “Ye Tian, if we fra it like that, it indeed isn’t incorrect! After all, with the Spirit Vein Stone hidden beneath Jiang City, many covet it. If another Sima Family erged with a millennial plan, the entire city and its citizens would suffer!
Now that the Spirit Vein Stone is gone, even if soone wanted to stir up trouble in Jiang City, they wouldn’t have enough energy to execute their plans. From this angle, the loss of the Spirit Vein Stone is a good thing! As the saying goes, ‘misfortune brings about blessings’. It probably refers to sothing like this!”
Yet Ye Zhicang shook his head, saying, “However, even though the Spirit Vein Stone is lost, the Spirit Vein of Jiang City still exists! A thousand years ago, the Sima Family crafted an elixir of immortality, turning Jiang City into a living hell. At that ti, the Spirit Vein Stone had already disappeared.
Nevertheless, after a thousand years, the Spirit Vein Stone grew again. rely taking away the Spirit Vein Stone is a temporary solution. If the Spirit Vein isn’t severed, the stone will regrow in another thousand years!”
Ye Tian laughed and said, “The Spirit Vein Stone has just been lost. How can we be thinking about things a thousand years from now? You and I are not immortal. In a thousand years, our bones will have long turned to dust. Why worry about matters of that ti?
The imdiate concern shouldn’t be how the citizens of Jiang City will fare, but rather how the citizens of South City will fare. After all, everyone in South City is under the control of the Black Hole Clan. Whatever the clan wants to do to them, they will do!”
With that, Ye Tian picked up his pace towards South City.
Ye Zhihuan and Ye Zhicang followed Ye Tian’s lead, using extrely fast Light Skill Steps to hurry to South City.
Of course, since Ye Tian’s Qinggong was exceptional, he didn’t exert his full strength while traveling, allowing the slightly older Ye Zhihuan and Ye Zhicang to keep up.
As he ran quickly, Ye Tian said, “A friend from the Black Hole Clan, who disapproved of the elders’ actions, decided to cooperate with . She told that the clan elders are constantly seeking eternal power.
They once wanted to take the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak’ that I possess, but later abandoned this, turning their attention to the Spirit Vein Stone hidden beneath Jiang City. Ye Zhihuan, Ye Zhicang, the Black Hole Clan covets the sa things as the Sima Family. Could their actions also be the sa?”
Ye Zhihuan thought for a mont and then said, “We can’t speculate on that! But from ancient tis to now, occurrences in the Martial Arts World remain unchanged! Selfless martial artists sacrifice for others, while selfish ones base their profits off others’ suffering, doing things that harm others to benefit themselves.
The Black Hole Clan likely does the sa, willing to sacrifice others’ interests, even lives, for their own prosperity. It is probable that the people in their territory are in great danger. If we don’t act quickly, the consequences will be unimaginable!”
Ye Zhicang also agreed, “The fact is that the power contained within the Spirit Vein Stone is incredibly imnse, far beyond our imagination. Generally, deeds done with such formidable power cannot co with minor harm.
It’s like walking with an atomic bomb in a crowded area – no matter how you look at it, hundreds or thousands, even tens of thousands of citizens could be affected and lose their lives. Therefore, what we must do is minimize such loss to the lowest extent possible!”
The Ye Clan elders laid out their analysis clearly, leaving Ye Tian with nothing to dispute…
It seed inevitable that a major battle between them and the Black Hole Clan was unavoidable. However, Ye Tian still had a concern—his wife Yun Xinyan was still under the control of the Black Hole Clan.
The fact that Yun Xinyan was taken was naturally part of the Black Hole Clan’s plan, which is why they hadn’t hard her…
The sa applied to him; his survival ensured the clan’s overall interests were protected, which is why they hadn’t sent an assassin to kill him!
However, if he and Yun Xinyan lost their value to the Black Hole Clan, they would imdiately use Yun Xinyan to threaten him, sothing Ye Tian absolutely didn’t want to see!
The thought that Yun Xinyan might beco the Black Hole Clan’s ans to confront him troubled Ye Tian deeply.
Ye Zhicang, noticing Ye Tian’s troubled expression, imdiately said, “Ye Tian, I can guess what you’re thinking, so after we reach South City, so of us old folks will quickly help you rescue your wife, preventing her from becoming leverage against you!”
“Thank you!”
Ye Tian nodded and said, although he wasn’t sure how much help the elders from the Ye Family would be, he was naturally grateful for their promise.
The three chatted and laughed along the way, familiar with the route and extrely fast. So before long, they arrived at the outskirts of South City.
Of course, the three did not head straight into the southern city, but instead arrived at the Xiangshan Villa on the outskirts of the southern city. Here, is where the temporary base of the Night King Hall is located!
The martial artists practicing diligently in the villa’s yard imdiately cheered excitedly upon seeing Ye Tian return!
“Boss, you’re finally back. We’ve all been worried about you!”
“Boss, where did you go this ti? What did you do? Did you run into any danger?”
“Boss, what do we do next? Please instruct us!”
…
The martial artists all surrounded Ye Tian, asking questions eagerly.
Ye Tian imdiately waved his hand, signaling everyone to keep quiet…
The martial artists then stepped back. They saw Ye Zhihuan and Ye Zhicang beside Ye Tian, both of whom were experts from the Ye family. The martial artists of the Night King Hall have long collaborated with the Ye family, so naturally, they were familiar with these two.
Could it be that Ye Tian went to seek reinforcents this ti?
Ye Tian also noticed the confusion in the eyes of the martial artists but did not answer imdiately. Instead, he glanced at Ye Xuong and asked, “Ye Xuong, during the short ti I was away, nothing happened over here at the Xiangshan Villa, right?”
“Nothing happened at all. The brothers practiced day and night, that’s it. Other than that, nothing occurred!”
Ye Xuong replied imdiately, which relieved Ye Tian.
Elder Bei Feng had stolen the Spirit Vein Stone from Jiangcheng, and what Ye Tian feared most was that this greedy person, after gaining an inch, would covet the fragnts of the Spirit Vein Stone buried in the Xiangshan Villa area. But now it seems that these tiny fragnts are not enough to pique Elder Bei Feng’s interest.
“Nothing happened here, but sothing did happen in Jiangcheng!”
Suddenly, Ye Tian changed his tone and spoke heavily.
The martial artists widened their eyes with astonishnt as soon as they heard the words “sothing happened”.
“Boss, what on earth happened? What happened in Jiangcheng?”
“That’s everyone’s second hotown; nothing must happen there!”
“What happened? Is it serious? Is the safety of the citizens of Jiangcheng assured?”
…
The martial artists asked one after another. Since the headquarters manor of the Night King Hall was located on the outskirts of Jiangcheng, everyone had deep feelings for the city and could not bear to see anything happen to it.
And Ye Tian, not one to hide things, told all the martial artists the full story, since they were all curious and asking.
After listening to Ye Tian’s account, all the martial artists wore solemn expressions, and each one showed a look of disappointnt on their face!
The one feeling most guilty was indeed Ye Xuong!
“It’s my fault! It’s all my fault! I wanted to defeat Tian Si, so I borrowed the power of the Spirit Vein Stone fragnt. But I never thought that my actions would expose the Spirit Vein Stone buried beneath Jiangcheng, and eventually, the Spirit Vein Stone was snatched away by the elder of the Black Hole Clan!
If I had known this would happen, when I faced Tian Si, I shouldn’t have borrowed the power of the Spirit Vein Stone fragnt, even if it ant dying at Tian Si’s hands. It would have been better than seeing innocent people suffer due to my negligence! Now, because of my oversight, so many innocent people have been hard, I can hardly clear my na even in death!”
Ye Xuong cried out in regret, but Ye Tian imdiately comforted him, “Ye Xuong, you don’t have to bla yourself too much. This matter is not solely your fault! If we must talk about responsibility, I am also the main culprit for burying the Spirit Vein Stone fragnt in the manor’s backyard!
The theft of the Spirit Vein Stone is not the fault of any of us, but because the enemy is too cunning. Even if it wasn’t exposed then, they would have found it in so other way.
