Chapter Twenty: Yun Yi Xuan Arrives

  The villagers were all rescued. In this melee, three villagers died, 36 were seriously injured and 106 were slightly injured.

  For the deceased tribesmen, everyone has some sorrow in their hearts.

  "Where is Ye Moyang!" Ye Zhantian thundered in a low voice.

  "Reporting to the clan leader, Elder Ye Moyang is nowhere to be found, and even Ye Kongyan who was detained in the Law Enforcement Hall has also disappeared."

  "Damn traitor!" Ye Zhantian was furious, "From now on, Ye Moyang and his son Ye Kongyan are expelled from the Ye family. If anyone in the Ye family still associates with them, they will be punished according to the family law. All clan members who encounter him should kill this traitor and cleanse the Ye family's door!"

  The people of all ethnic groups responded loudly.

  That single-horned lizard must have been brought by Ye Moyang, and I don't know what method he used to bring a ninth-level demon beast to the Ye family fortress. During the time the single-horned lizard attacked the Ye family fortress, Ye Moyang took advantage of the chaos to rescue Ye Kongyan. If Ye Chen hadn't used black fire medicine, the losses suffered by the Ye family fortress would be unimaginable.

  Although Yejia Fort suffered heavy losses, the gains were also substantial. The 7th to 8th rank demon beasts that Yejia Fort usually hunted were already rare, and 9th rank demon beasts were even more scarce. The single-horned lizard was a treasure trove, its skin could be used to make dozens of pieces of armor, and its gallbladder and other parts could be used as medicine. All demon beasts above the 8th rank had demon cores, and just one 9th rank demon core from the single-horned lizard could be exchanged for at least two hundred gathering energy pills.

  A group of people from various ethnicities started dealing with the corpse of the unicorn lizard.

  Conference Hall.

  "Chen Er, what exactly did you use to kill the single-horned lizard just now?" Ye Cangxuan asked. The cloth bag that Ye Chen had thrown out was incredibly powerful, equivalent to a full-strength strike from a top 9th-tier expert. It made him feel a chill run down his spine.

  "It's something called black gunpowder." Ye Chen said.

  "Gunpowder?"

  "My ancestors taught me the configuration of this thing, and I cannot reveal its configuration method." Ye Chen could only shift the responsibility to his ancestors in the Ye family. There were some secrets that he still couldn't say. If the configuration method of this black fire medicine were to be spread out, it might bring a disaster of extinction to the Ye family. The fewer people who knew about it and used it, the better. If it weren't for today's unavoidable circumstances, he wouldn't have taken out and used the black fire medicine.

  "In that case, we won't ask anymore." Ye Cangxuan and the others nodded in agreement. They also knew that this object was not ordinary, and the power of those black gunpowder explosions had left them deeply shaken.

  "Tell the clan members, today's matter, absolutely cannot be spread outside!" Ye Zhan Tian thought for a moment and said in a low voice.

  Even if some of our people accidentally spill the beans and it gets spread around, I'm afraid no one will believe it anyway. So there shouldn't be any major issues, but we still need to do a good job keeping it under wraps.

  The body of the single-horned lizard, was a timely solution for the Ye family. The gallbladder and other items from the single-horned lizard were sold by Ye Zhan Tian's acquaintances in Donglin County, and they got nearly three hundred聚气丹 in exchange. As for the skin of the single-horned lizard, it was made into a suit of armor by the craftsmen in the fortress, which was distributed to the various members of the Ye family who bore the character "war" in their names, including Ye Chen who received one set.

  The armor is made extremely delicate, with excellent defense capabilities. Ordinary blades can't even scratch it, and even a casual 7th or 8th rank expert wouldn't be able to penetrate it with their palm strength.

  This armor isn't particularly thick, and when worn close to the body and covered with an outer garment, it's basically invisible. Having obtained this thing, if a battle were to occur, the Ye family village can avoid some unnecessary casualties, which is a blessing in disguise.

  Ye Chen occasionally tinkered with gunpowder, preparing to make something similar to thunderclap bombs. While cultivating in secret, after reaching the sixth stage, the speed of his Xuan Qi's improvement slowed down, but Ye Chen still made considerable progress. The first level of the Wind Spirit Technique was also nearing completion. In his free time, Ye Chen would also offer guidance on the cultivation of Ye Meng and Ye Ming.

  Although the mine in Yejia Fortress has been closed and the shops on the other side of Donglin County have also stopped operating, the supplies obtained from selling the Qilin's corpse can allow Yejia Fortress to hold on for a few more months.

  Knowing that the Yejia Fortress mine was forced to close, the Ye family members were filled with righteous indignation. Many of them wanted to ask Ye Zhantian to issue a decree to declare war on Yunjiabao, but they were all rejected by Ye Zhantian. Now is the key period for Yejia Fortress to enhance its strength, and he and Ye Cangxuan must intensify their closed-door cultivation. How could they have messed up at this time?

  The entire Yejia Fort was filled with a sense of grief and indignation. The people of the clan were united in their anger, and the cultivators within the family intensified their cultivation, with numerous breakthroughs occurring during this period.

  "Yun Family Manor's Second Master, Qin Family Manor's Master, and Yan Family Manor's Master have arrived!" A clansman hastily ran towards the manor.

  "Let them come to the living room, I'd like to see what they're up to!" Ye Zhantian snorted, "Call all the elder tribe members to the great hall." Three ninth-stage experts arrived, and they had to be cautious.

  At the entrance of Yejia Fortress, Yun Yi Xuan walked over with a smile, chatting with two people beside him. The two men were about 40 or 50 years old, with energetic strides, and were Qin Yu, the master of Qinjia Fortress, and Yan Yin, the master of Yanjia Fortress. Behind them followed more than a dozen people, including both elderly and young individuals.

  The people of Yejia Fort all looked over here from afar, revealing hostile gazes. The grudges between Yejia Fort and Yunjia Fort were well-known to them, and they knew that Yuyi Xuan's group came with ill intentions.

  Qin Yu glanced at those Ye family members with a faint smile and said: "Yi Xuan brother, this Ye family fortress probably hates your Yun family fortress not lightly."

  Yun Yi Xuan burst out laughing and said: "What is there for our Yun family's fortress to fear?"

  "That's true, with Old Master Yun presiding and the support of Duke Donglin, Yunjia Fortress is as stable as Mount Tai. If Yejia Fortress knows what's good for them, that's fine, but if they don't... Hehe." Yan Yin said with a flattering smile.

  "Ye Jia's Ye Zhan Tian, has just been promoted, and with Ye Cang Xuan that old geezer, it's indeed a bit harder to deal with. However, the Ye family is sparse in population, our Yun Jia hasn't put them in their sights yet. What's the big deal about having two 9th rank experts?" Cloud Yi Xuan coldly snorted.

  Yun family fortress is indeed going to deal with Ye family fortress, Qin Yu and Yan Yin's hearts are secretly worried, but they don't know what method Yun family fortress will use. If Yun family fortress and Ye family fortress go to war, they may also find it difficult to be alone in their own right, and can't help but send someone to Yun family fortress as a vanguard. However, it is impossible for them to completely sacrifice themselves for Yun family fortress, after all, Ye family fortress has two ninth-grade masters, if they put themselves in a desperate situation, it would be frustrating.

  "Ye Zhan Tian had just risen to the 9th rank, and it would probably take at least a few months to stabilize his current realm. Compared to Yi Xuan brother, he was far inferior."

  As they spoke, a group of people entered the main hall of Yejia Fortress. Ye Cangxuan, Ye Zhantian and others gathered inside the hall, while Ye Chen stood to one side of the hall.

  "Brother Ye, long time no see, I hope you've been well." Qin Yu and Yan Yin chuckled.

  Yun Yi Xuan didn't wait for Ye Zhan Tian and the others to speak, and with a loud noise, he sat down on a chair beside them, laughing loudly: "I didn't expect Brother Zhan Tian to be so hospitable, actually coming with so many people to welcome us."

  Yun Yi Xuan treats this place as his own Yun family fortress? Ye Zhan Tian and the others all revealed a hint of displeasure on their faces.
