The Yan Family Strikes at the Door (Part 4)

"Dad... then you must be careful..."

Lan Lengshuang's eye rims turned slightly red, and she wasn't stupid.

Of course she knew that if she stayed at the Lan Family, she would inevitably bring endless worries to Lan Batian.

It was even possible that her presence would cause Lan Batian to be distracted by protecting her.

Lan Batian nodded and pulled Lan Lengshuang into his embrace.

"It'll be fine..."

"Mm-hmm!" Lan Lengshuang said, holding back her tears.

After bidding farewell to Lan Lengshuang, Bai Zhan and Zhang Daosheng also arrived at the Lan Family.

The sprawling Lan Family was left with only three people and a mutant beast.

The Westwind Lion King looked at Zhang Daosheng and the other two, seeming to want to say something. It opened its mouth, but nothing came out.

Sigh, kid Ye, in order to keep your secret...

Meanwhile, Lan Lengshuang was settled into the place where Ye Chen lived under Zhang Daosheng's arrangements.

Lan Lengshuang didn't sleep well all night and got up early.

Li Xiaodie had already made breakfast, and it was actually Li Xiaodie who had shown Lan Lengshuang the way when she came over to stay yesterday.

So breakfast naturally ended up being made for three people.

It wasn't until Ye Chen came downstairs for breakfast that he discovered Lan Lengshuang's existence.

"Huh? Big niece, what are you doing here?"

Ye Chen asked with a yawn.

Lan Lengshuang had just wanted to say something when she saw Li Xiaodie beside him.

She instantly fell silent.

Ye Chen's expression turned somewhat unnatural. "Did something happen?"

"Dad sent all the servants of the Lan Family away..." Lan Lengshuang gripped her little skirt tightly with both hands, and a sob seeped out, heard clearly by Ye Chen.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit subtle, Li Xiaodie directly reached out, grabbed a sandwich, and ran toward her room without even looking back.

Seeing that Li Xiaodie was so sensible, Ye Chen also nodded inwardly.

"Could it be that the Yan Family is here?"

"Yeah... Little Westwind is very nervous. Although he acts very nonchalant, he woke Dad up in the middle of the night..."

Seeing Li Xiaodie leave, Lan Lengshuang's tears instantly gushed out.

"That means the enemy coming... is someone even Little Westwind isn't sure he can handle..." Ye Chen said, calming his emotions.

"Ye Chen... can you please save my dad..." Lan Lengshuang turned around, hugged Ye Chen directly, and wept bitterly.

Ye Chen reached out and patted Lan Lengshuang's head. "Silly niece, don't worry..."

He gently pushed Lan Lengshuang away, not forgetting to take a sandwich with him before leaving.

Ye Chen knew that his true body's strength wasn't very strong, so... he could only wait to strike from the shadows!

Therefore, after leaving the school, Ye Chen used Wood Release near the Lan Family to build a small shade-house.

Yamato: I'm very familiar with this move!

With nothing else to do, Ye Chen resumed his cultivation.

This move right here was called waiting by the tree for a hare!

However, the Westwind Lion King had already detected Ye Chen's arrival.

Its heart instantly settled down quite a bit. In its eyes, Ye Chen was much stronger than Bai Zhan and the others, alright?

"Leave that Bright Moon Realm to me, but there are still two Myriad Stars Realm cultivators..." The Westwind Lion King looked at Bai Zhan and the others and spoke.

Hearing this, Bai Zhan smiled faintly. "My previous battle with Dong Shizhang gave me a lot of benefit. I already have half a foot in the Myriad Stars Realm now, and I'm confident I can stall a Myriad Stars Realm expert for dozens of moves."

Zhang Daosheng and Lan Batian also nodded upon hearing this.

"But the enemy also has several Sea-Overturning Realm cultivators..." The Westwind Lion King said, dampening everyone's spirits.

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire place fell silent.

"It looks like this old man's time is up today..." Zhang Daosheng let out a deep sigh.

The Westwind Lion King asked with a hint of banter in its eyes, "Are you scared?"

"Teacher, how about calling Sister Qing?" Bai Zhan couldn't help saying.

It wasn't that Bai Zhan was afraid of death; as a Great Xia soldier, he had long since put life and death out of his mind!

However, Zhang Daosheng was his teacher after all, and Bai Zhan knew in his heart that although Zhang Bingqing didn't contact her teacher, she cared about him deeply.

If the teacher died... could the Yan Family withstand the Ice Saint's wrath?

"No need." Zhang Daosheng shook his head and said.

The Westwind Lion King had no idea what these two were talking about, assuming they intended to call a younger generation member to give their final instructions.

Then, the Westwind Lion King said mysteriously, "Rest assured, we have helpers today... I just don't know if this helper can hold his ground."

"A helper?!" The three of them were overjoyed, speaking in unison, "Where?!"

"Don't rush, when it's time for him to act, he'll naturally act," the Westwind Lion King said with a cheeky smile.

"Tch~" Everyone expressed their disdain.

Yet the Lion King stood there with a silly grin, imagining the looks on these three people's faces when they saw Ye Chen's strength—so shocked their jaws would drop.

"BOOM!"

"CRASH!"

A violent tremor and explosion echoed out.

The three people and one lion inside the reception hall, as well as Ye Chen hiding in the shadows, instantly cast their gazes toward the gate of the Lan Family estate.

"Where are the people from the Lan Family? Where the hell did you all die?! Didn't you see our Third Master has arrived?!"

An Yan Family guard jumped out and shouted arrogantly.

Although he was merely a guard, he possessed the strength of the Sea-Overturning Realm.

Everyone who had just walked out of the reception hall saw the gate burning with raging fires.

It was an utter mess!

One could only assume a fireball had been used to directly destroy the entire door.

After all, the Yan Family had produced a Fire Saint, and the vast majority of people within the Yan Family from then on possessed fire-attribute talents.

Even those mutated into beasts or weaponry would carry the fire attribute.

Yan Zhanbai glared at the guard. "We should win people over with virtue, what is the meaning of shouting and hollering like this? Fall back!"

Only then did Yan Zhanbai step forward, looking at Lan Batian.

"Family Head Lan, you've really prepared in advance." Yan Zhanbai looked at the three people and one beast, finding it somewhat amusing.

On their side, five Sea-Overturning Realm experts, two Myriad Stars Realm experts, and one Bright Moon Realm expert.

What was the opponent's lineup? One Bright Moon Realm, three Sea-Overturning Realms?

"Seventh Brother, what are you bothering to say to him?!" With Yan Zhanren as his backing, Yan Zhanhei's tone instantly changed.

When they had come to the Lan Family earlier, the Westwind Lion King had stood before them, and they hadn't even been able to speak...

"Hand over Young Master Yan Feng, and we might consider leaving you an intact corpse." Yan Zhanhei exuded a terrifying aura.

"Although we would very much like to hand Yan Feng over to you, unfortunately, Yan Feng left the Lan Family several days ago. We truly have no idea where Yan Feng is." Lan Batian shook his head in denial.

"Oh? Looks like you prefer a hard toast to a soft drink, then?" Murderous intent surfaced in Yan Zhanhei's eyes. "Third Brother! Kill them!"

Yan Zhanbai felt terrible inside. Eighth Brother, have you gotten too full of yourself?

Only to see Yan Zhanren silently step forward, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Eighth Brother, just this once~ Don't order me around next time~ You'll die~"

Flames seemed to ignite all over Yan Zhanren's body, and black fire spread across his entire frame.

This black flame was Yan Zhanren's talent!

Hidden in the shadows nearby, Ye Chen wore a quirky expression. Is Amaterasu stronger, or are your black flames stronger?
