Tense as Swords Drawn, One Spark from Eruption
Tianming looked at Ye Guhe and said, "Ye Guhe, are you sure you want to go your own way? Has your Ye family considered the consequences?"
Ye Guhe shook his head and said, "This is something I did myself, and it has nothing to do with my Ye family. I just want to find out what exactly happened to my grandson inside."
The Old Ancestor of the Ji Family and Liu Family Old Ancestor echoed, "We only want to find out the truth of the matter; we have no intention of involving anything else!"
"If you want to find out, go find out for yourself. Don't try to force these juniors." Tianming said, pointing to the Pit below.
Tianming then pointed at Jiang Liu and the others, saying, "Moreover, only your descendants probably know what happened to them! What makes you so sure they know?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Guhe merely glanced at Tianming and remained silent, continuing to stand in front of them. His meaning was clear: he would not let them go easily without giving them an explanation today.
Seeing that Ye Guhe was unyielding, Tianming became furious. He produced the Tianming Codex in his hand and prepared to condense his Qi.
At this moment, the elder of the Flowing Cloud Sect standing to the side stopped Tianming and said, "Elder Tianming, please don't be in such a hurry. Let me ask Ye Guhe what he really wants."
"Ye Guhe, just tell me what you want. Soul searching is impossible!" the Flowing Cloud Sect elder said to Ye Guhe.
Ye Guhe then took out a Wind Chime -like object and said, "Soul searching is not necessary, as long as they enter the dream I created."
Tianming shook his head and said, "No, this is not much different from soul searching!"
"Then I have no other choice but to keep them here for further questioning!" Ye Guhe said.
"Heh! Who do you think you are Ye Guhe? You think you can just leave whoever you want?" Elder Bai sneered.
"That's right, after listening to you Ye Guhe, spouting nonsense for so long, all you've got is the desire to bully the younger generation. That's all you've got, Ye Guhe! Get out of my way!" Li Moran shouted angrily.
Zheng Fei and Chen Bo drew their longswords and stared coldly at Ye Guhe, guessing that if they didn't move aside soon, they would be preparing for battle.
"How are you planning to outnumber the enemy? Once the fighting starts, you need to think carefully about how many of your younger generation will survive?" Ye Guhe remained unmoved.
"Why are you allowed to bully the weak? What's wrong with us ganging up on you because we outnumber you?" Chen Bo said, pointing his sword at Ye Guhe.
Li Moran unleashed his aura and enveloped Ye Guhe, who retaliated without backing down.
The two streams of air collided in mid-air, and a deafening explosion erupted between them, like a tornado, swirling and drifting away into the distance, stirring up dust and scattering tree branches and leaves in its wake. Much of the dust in the Pit beneath them was swept away.
Fortunately, the other Grandmaster shielded their juniors behind them, while Elder Bai pulled Jiang Liu and Li Qiaoyun over and stood in front of them.
"Enough! I advise you to stop now!" Tianming shouted. His aura exploded, pressing down on the two of them.
Just then, a large group of people appeared on the horizon. Before they even got close, they burst into laughter, "What? What's going on? Why is it so lively? Are they preparing to start a battle of grandmasters?"
Leading the group was a middle-aged scholar dressed in a scholar's robe, wearing a turban, and holding a folding fan. This man was none other than Tang Yilun, the Vice Sect Leader of the Confucian school and Grandmaster. Behind Tang Yilun were all young scholars dressed as scholars.
It turned out that Tang Yilun was traveling with many students when they happened to pass by this place. They sensed the aura of Grandmaster emanating from here, which is why they came here.
"How come Sect Leader Tang has so much free time, just passing by here?" Ye Guhe said to Tang Yilun in an ambiguous tone.
"What? This is your Ye family's territory? Can't I Tang Yilun, leave?" Tang Yilun immediately retorted to Ye Guhe.
"Alright, enough with the arguments! Ye Guhe, what exactly do you want?" Tianming interrupted.
Yi Tian then flew to Tang Yilun's side and explained the situation to him. Tang Yilun wanted to lash out immediately upon hearing this, but after looking at everyone present, he stopped talking and just looked at Tianming and Ye Guhe.
Ye Guhe glanced at the various Grandmaster present, knowing that things were unlikely to go as planned. He then said, "I can let them leave, but if anything is discovered in the future, I will come to challenge them."
Just as Ye Guhe finished his harsh words and was about to leave, two other Grandmaster auras descended from afar.
Elder Bai was overjoyed to sense the familiar aura, while Ye Guhe and the others' expressions changed drastically.
Sure enough, Mo Han and Elder He arrived together not long after.
As soon as Mo Han arrived, he immediately unleashed the aura of Grandmaster and attacked Ye Guhe. Upon seeing that it was someone from the Exotic Beast Valley who had arrived, Ye Guhe was already on guard and immediately launched a counterattack.
Elder Bai hurriedly led Jiang Liu and Li Qiaoyun to retreat. He knew that a battle was about to begin as soon as he saw Mo Han and Elder He, so he was prepared.
Li Moran also unleashed his grandmaster aura, enveloping Ye Guhe, while Chen Bo directly attacked Ye Guhe with his sword.
Suddenly, an even larger airflow explosion rang out, and Ye Guhe's figure plummeted straight into the huge the Pit below.
The other Grandmaster present stood there motionless, their robes fluttering, watching Ye Guhe fall into the Pit below.
After a while, Ye Guhe emerged from the Pit, looking disheveled. His face was full of anger as he threw the Wind Chime upwards, causing the surrounding energy to converge around him.
Mo Han, Elder He, Li Moran, and Chen Bo surrounded Ye Guhe and were preparing to launch an attack.
"Alright! Let's let it go this time!" Tianming stopped him.
The four of them then dissipated their imposing aura, but remained wary of Ye Guhe.
Ye Guhe put away the Wind Chime and dissipated his aura. This time, he didn't even dare to utter any harsh words and turned around to fly away into the distance.
The Old Ancestor the Ji Family, Wang Family, Li Family, Liu Family families also left without a word. They knew that if the situation continued, it would be truly out of control, and they would be facing a one-against-two situation, which would likely result in a very miserable defeat for them.
What's worse is that they will face sanctions from the three sects, which is why they left without saying a word.
If Tang Yilun and the people from the Exotic Beast Valley hadn't arrived, they would have had a slight chance of success; now, they have absolutely no chance.
Everyone watched the Ye, Ji Family, Wang Family, Li Family, Liu Family families leave in silence. Then, the Grandmaster exchanged glances and took their leave with their descendants.
Mo Han smiled and said to Li Moran and Chen Bo, "Would the two leaders like to come and visit me sometime?"
Li Moran and Chen Bo returned the greeting, saying, "Then we will accept the invitation without being too polite, and we apologize for the inconvenience."
Afterwards, Li Moran took Li Qiaoyun, and Chen Bo took Chen Yuke and left with the people from the Exotic Beast Valley.
Tianming watched the departing crowd, lost in thought, before leaving with the elders of the other two sects and their remaining disciples.
This farce has come to an end, but its aftermath will not end so quickly. It's easy to imagine that those Lineage who lost their most talented descendants will not let the matter rest so easily.
As for Xiao Tian, Sword Saint's most talented disciple, Xiao Tian also died silently. It's unknown how the Sword Saint will react.
