The next day, at the Ye Family gates, all the clan members stood gathered to see Xiao Ze and his party off.
Whether the Ye Family could reclaim its seat among the Five Great Families depended on Xiao Ze's ranking in this assessment.
Although they already had Ice River Valley as a fallback, the Pill Tower was the place the Ye Family truly aspired to reach.
"Second Brother, Third Brother, I'll be accompanying Xiao Ze to Holy Pill City this time. I'll leave the Ye Family in your hands," Ye Zhong said gravely to the two leading elders.
"Mm, rest assured, Big Brother. With me here, I won't let any petty villains sneak into the Ye Family," the two elders promised.
"Elder Yao, Xiao Yi Xian, stay here at the Ye Family, just in case," Xiao Ze instructed.
Although Ice River Valley's recent fate would make other factions think twice before acting recklessly, they still had to stay on guard and avoid having their home raided.
"Don't worry, Young Friend Xiao Ze. With me here, nothing will happen to the Ye Family," Elder Yao assured him.
"Mm." Xiao Ze nodded slightly.
Other than Xiao Ze and Ye Zhong, only Xin Lan would be accompanying them this time.
After all, having more people along for something like this wouldn't help. They were better off staying behind in Ye City to guard their base.

As a result, no one dared try to seize the only Space Wormhole
