826: Chapter 822 Co-Travelers 826: Chapter 822 Co-Travelers At the entrance of the manor, Ye Tian clenched his fist and resolutely declared, “Rest assured, my brothers.
As the leader of Night King Hall, I swear I will bring all of you back!
One day, this manor will once again be filled with the bustling sounds of old!”
Carrying the heavy burden, Ye Tian could not linger in Jiangcheng.
He imdiately made a phone call to his wife, Yun Xinyan.
“Wife, I need to take a long trip.
The matters at ho and in Yun Corporation are entrusted to you!”
On the call, Ye Tian bade farewell to Yun Xinyan.
Yun Xinyan’s heart tightened instantly, and she hurriedly asked, “Ye Tian, are you going sowhere far away?
Is it dangerous there?”
There was a trace of uneasiness in her voice as Yun Xinyan had vaguely sensed sothing amiss in Ye Tian’s tone, asking with deep concern.
Facing his spouse’s worry, Ye Tian could only let out a long sigh…
“I don’t know either, wife.
Maybe I won’t return.
But for , it’s sothing I must do, because I can’t turn my back on my brothers!”
In the past, before Ye Tian ventured into dangerous territories, he always withheld the full truth from Yun Xinyan out of fear of worrying her…
But this ti, Ye Tian revealed so of it, leaving Yun Xinyan silent after hearing it.
After a long pause, Yun Xinyan finally said, “Ye Tian, you have your own path of survival.
As your wife, I can only support you from behind!
But Ye Tian, no matter where you are, no matter how perilous it becos, please rember that here in Jiangcheng, I’m waiting for you to return!”
With that, Yun Xinyan hung up the phone.
Ye Tian silently stared at his phone, his heart a complex tangle of emotions…
The journey to Tianshan would be fraught with life and death uncertainties, yet he had no choice but to go!
This was Ye Tian’s way of survival!
After bidding farewell to Yun Xinyan, Ye Tian did not head directly for Tianshan.
Instead, he went straight to Lianghe Town, the stronghold of the Ye Family.
Ye Tian, familiar with the path, arrived at the Ye Family’s residence!
The Clan Leader of the Ye Family, Ye Zhihuan, upon seeing Ye Tian arrive, imdiately led his brothers Ye Zhiran and Ye Zhirong out to greet him.
Their attitude toward Ye Tian this ti was starkly different from the last encounter!
Ye Tian was stunned and said, “Clan Leader, why are you being so courteous now?
Not long ago, weren’t you trying to kill ?”
Ye Zhihuan let out a bitter laugh and said, “Ye Tian, so things I believe you’re already aware of.
My third brother should have told you everything!
For the Ye Family, there are things that must be guarded.
It is the only way a millennia-old family like ours can endure!”
As the Clan Leader, Ye Zhihuan had already learned Ye Tian’s identity from Ye Zhicang.
Naturally, his attitude toward Ye Tian changed markedly…
As for Ye Zhiran and Ye Zhirong, although they were still in the dark, seeing the Clan Leader’s change in deanor toward Ye Tian, they refrained from questioning further.
Especially Ye Zhirong, who already had a past connection with Ye Tian.
This turn of events was sothing he was happy to see!
“Where’s Ye Zhicang?”
Ye Tian asked curiously, noticing that only the three elders of the Ye Family had co to greet him, with no sign of Ye Zhicang.
Ye Zhihuan imdiately replied, “Ye Zhicang is gravely injured and currently in seclusion to recover!”
“Hmm…”
Ye Tian nodded silently and walked step by step into the main hall of the Ye Family residence.
Ye Zhihuan took the main seat, while Ye Tian sat in the guest of honor seat, with Ye Zhiran and Ye Zhirong seated at the accompanying seats…
Ti was pressing, and Ye Tian got straight to the point!
“Clan Leader, I believe you’ve heard about the Slaughter Order issued by Tiann, haven’t you?
This ti, my duel with Sima Yun is inevitable.
Ye Zhicang also reminded not to involve Tiann’s mbers during the fight with Sima Yun; otherwise, the situation will spiral out of control!”
Hearing Ye Tian’s words, Ye Zhihuan nodded repeatedly…
“That’s only natural!
Tiann’s influence is vast and intricate, and disturbing one corner may unravel the whole.
Therefore, we absolutely cannot provoke them!
Even though we know the ‘Slaughter Order’ is Tiann’s ga, we have no choice but to play by their rules!”
“We follow the rules?
And what about Tiann?” Ye Tian sneered and continued, “While I was in the critical phase of training, Sima Yun sent two of Tiann’s people to assassinate .
Ye Zhicang was injured protecting !
And it doesn’t stop there.
That despicable Sima Yun even used the Puppetry Technique to control every Martial Artist in Night King Hall, forcing into submission!
For soone like him and a sect like theirs, do we really need to speak of martial righteousness with them?”
Ye Tian’s words left the three elders of the Ye Family speechless!
Ye Zhiran exclaid, “What audacious Tiann!
Preaching one thing and practicing another!
According to Tiann’s rules, before the Slaughter Order takes effect, no harm must co to the target or their relatives.
Yet they stooped to this!”
Ye Zhirong added, “Their actions aim to weaken Ye Tian’s strength as much as possible before the duel with Sima Yun.
This way, Sima Yun’s odds of victory drastically increase!
If Sima Yun kills Ye Tian, Tiann’s fa will soar, and the Sima Family’s honor will be restored!”
Ye Zhihuan coldly remarked, “No wonder Ye Zhicang’s injuries are so severe.
Tiann flouts martial righteousness, yet expects others to adhere to it.
Such double standards are utterly disgraceful!”
Ye Zhirong curiously asked, “Ye Tian, why didn’t you destroy Sima Feng’s Life Weapon after killing him?
If you had done so, how could the Puppetry Technique resurface in the martial world?”
Ye Tian sighed and said, “I’m truly sorry.
I didn’t anticipate the severity of the matter at the ti!
After I obtained the Jade Flute, I conversed with its spirit and, seeing its pitiful state, rely used a wooden blade to absorb its power before locking it in a safe, leaving it be!”
Ye Zhirong sighed as well and said, “Ye Tian, how careless of you!
No matter how pitiful the spirit of the Jade Flute is, it remains a Life Weapon responsible for countless deaths.
Such a weapon, even if stripped of its power, still poses a massive threat!
If soone finds a way to infuse new power into the Jade Flute, it could regain its vitality, bringing harm to even more people!”
“…”
Ye Zhirong’s words left Ye Tian speechless.
Indeed, Ye Tian’s decision on how to deal with the Jade Flute left room for error, granting Sima Yun an opportunity to harness its power and control the brothers of Night King Hall.
But it was too late for regrets now.
Ye Tian said, “If I can defeat Sima Yun this ti, I will destroy the Jade Flute for good!”
“That would be best!”
Ye Zhirong sighed as Ye Zhihuan and Ye Zhiran nodded in agreent.
Everyone knew that only by destroying the Jade Flute, a Life Weapon of such magnitude, could its threat be eradicated permanently.
Otherwise, it would forever tempt those with ill intentions, bringing harm to the innocent!
Ye Tian glanced around at the three elders and said, “Gentlen, Sima Yun has already challenged to a duel at Tianshan!
This journey is fraught with dangers, and I hope the Ye Family can accompany .
If anything happens to , please do your utmost to save my brothers!”
For Ye Tian, the battle with Sima Yun carried no assurance of victory.
His request for the Ye Family’s accompanint to Tianshan was both for mutual support and a contingency plan – should he fall to Sima Yun, the Ye Family’s influence could save the brothers of Night King Hall!
Such a request was sothing that Clan Leader Ye Zhihuan could hardly refuse!
“Ye Tian, the Ye Family and Night King Hall are now allies.
As the saying goes, the lips perish, and the teeth grow cold.
In the face of Night King Hall’s calamity, how can we stand idly by?
More importantly, from the Ye Family’s perspective, you are soone we must protect!
So this ti, my brothers and I will undoubtedly accompany you to Tianshan!
But don’t talk of entrusting us to save your brothers.
They are your brothers; you should save them yourself!”
Ye Zhihuan declared with conviction, affirming the Ye Family’s stance and determination.
Ye Zhiran and Ye Zhirong both respectfully followed their Clan Leader’s orders.
Ye Zhiran said, “Ye Tian, rest assured.
We’ll naturally ensure your safety.
Although the Ye Family’s strength can’t contend with Tiann, we can ensure that your battle with Sima Yun is fought under fair conditions.”
Ye Zhirong echoed, “Exactly!
Tiann’s tyranny is despicable – targeting their opponents before the Slaughter Order even begins.
If Tiann persists in such tyranny, the Ye Family will rally the martial world to resist them with all our might!”
The three elders of the Ye Family unanimously pledged their support, filling Ye Tian’s heart with imnse solace.
Ye Tian boldly declared, “In that case, everyone, let us ascend Tianshan together and shake it to its very core!”
No sooner had he spoken than a low voice echoed—
“I’m going too!”
It was none other than the voice of Ye Zhicang.
Everyone instinctively turned toward the hall entrance, where a severely injured Ye Zhicang stood struggling to maintain his footing.
“Ye Zhicang, you’re here too?”
Seeing Ye Zhicang, Ye Tian was overjoyed.
But when he looked at Ye Zhicang’s injuries, he realized the external wounds had mostly healed, though the internal injuries still needed ti.
After all, he’d been attacked by two masters from Tiann, and such severe injuries could not heal quickly.
“Yes, I’ve co…”
Ye Zhicang slowly approached the group, a sincere expression on his face as he gazed at Ye Tian.
“Ye Tian, I overheard what you just discussed with everyone.
I never thought Tiann would be so despicable, targeting your brothers!
This journey to Tianshan, if it’s just the four of you, I’ll worry from ho.
That’s why I must co along too!
Although I haven’t fully recovered, I believe my presence will offer so help!
Especially since the Ye Family’s Four Symbols Formation requires four people working in unison to maximize its power!”
“Ye Zhicang, your injuries…”
Noticing Ye Zhicang’s firm resolve, Ye Zhihuan spoke with concern.
