Chapter 111: Returning Empty-Handed (First Update)

  Yi Yun couldn't help but feel a little annoyed at Yi Chi's nonchalant attitude. He had already told them not to come, who would have thought that he himself would show up, and with such a carefree expression on his face.

  "You kid." Yi Yun pulled over Yi Chi and said with a shake of his head.

  Yi Chi scratched his head awkwardly, he had been waiting quietly, but unexpectedly saw that shocking scene. With a "what's the point" attitude, he walked out, only nobody noticed him as they were all still in shock.

  Yi Ba Tian also walked over at this time, with an unpleasant expression on his face, saying: "You little scoundrel, how dare you call me old man? And what did you mean by that remark just now?"

  Yi Chi didn't respond, but instead walked directly to the front of the light gate. Like Yi Ba Tian before him, he swung his hand and shot out a beam of energy. Before this, he had already applied a status effect on himself, and this attack was also his strongest move in an unarmed state.

  That light gate absorbed the energy shot by Yip Chi again and burst out a line of words.

  The crowd may have had the experience of Yi Ba Tian before, so this time they did not hide to one side in fear of Yi Chi's attack, but instead looked up at the sky, waiting for the words to appear.

  Under everyone's gaze, those words appeared in the sky once again.

  "Energy exceeds the maximum allowed value."

  It was the same words again, and everyone couldn't help but look at Yi Chi with suspicion.

  Only to see Yi Chi with a look of "this is indeed the case", he slightly curled up the corner of his mouth, and smiled: "I thought what was going on, it turns out it's just this setup, how boring."

  Everyone listened in a daze, unable to understand, and glared at Yi Chi, hoping he could provide an explanation.

  Under everyone's gaze, Yi Chi didn't care at all and still shot out a beam of energy.

  The crowd was unable to do anything now, it seemed they could only rely on the person in front of them. So, they looked up at the sky again, waiting for the words to appear.

  This time, it was still those words, and Yi Chi's smile became even more radiant.

  Under the gaze of everyone's confusion, he shot out another energy, almost instinctively, and everyone else looked up at the sky again. This time, however, the words were different.

  "Energy is less than the maximum value specified, can enter."

  When they saw the last four words 'can enter', everyone got excited.

  Chen Yong directly asked loudly: "Yi Xiaozi on that side, you say it, what's the door here?"

  Yi Chi is no longer selling Guan Zi this time. After turning around, he adjusted his clothes and said calmly: "What's the hurry? I was just about to say something."

  Chen Yong was furious, he was actually lectured by a junior, how could he tolerate it, just as he was about to take action, Yi Batian stood out, which made his foot that was about to step forward shrink back.

  Yi Chi's eyes widened with a relaxed expression, while Chen Yong said with a stifled tone: "Fine, you say it." After finishing speaking, he turned his head away and no longer looked in this direction. However, Yi Chi still caught that fleeting fierce glint, but would he be afraid? If it were the old him, he would have taken these fighting sects into consideration. Now, however, he couldn't care less. If he couldn't win a fight, he could just run away directly. If pushed to the limit, he wouldn't mind going all out either. After all, he had many trump cards and lives to spare - who was afraid of whom?

  After tidying up his clothes, Yi Chi slowly said: "This Light Gate has restrictions on the people who enter. You also saw it earlier, my first wave of energy had a Dou Ling level strength, but I didn't pass, the second one had a Great Dou Shi level strength, but still didn't pass, until the third time, when I used a Dou Shi level energy strength, that's when I passed. This shows that this Light Gate can only allow people below Great Dou Shi to enter, and none of you are eligible."

  Although they were surprised that Yi Chi, this small three-star Dou Shi, could shoot out a Dou Ling-level energy beam, what was even more surprising to them was that this time they had come in vain, which made them feel disappointed for a moment.

  After seeing everyone's reaction, Yi Chi smiled again and said: "Everyone, don't forget, I only have the strength of a three-star Dou Shi, I can go in."

  Yi Chi had just finished speaking when Chen Yong loudly shouted out first.

  "No way, only you can go in here, and all the benefits have been taken by your family. We absolutely disagree." After finishing speaking, he looked at the other two people.

  Lu He and Mu Yin Zhu also nodded in agreement, indicating their stance.

  All of this was within Yi Chi's expectations; he hadn't thought about going in at this time.

  If one person goes in, they have to resist all the dangers by themselves, isn't that a hassle? Yi Chi had originally planned to wait until he got back and call up other Dou Shi level people to go in together. Anyway, these people pose no threat to him, if there's danger, they'll face it, if there are benefits, he'll be the one to take them, isn't that better? But now, he just said so much.

  After seeing that all three families were opposed, Yi Chi simply didn't try to persuade them anymore and directly retreated back to the Yi family's team.

  After seeing Yi Chi return, Yi Yun also put down his tense mood. He was really afraid that his son, who had a particularly large temper, would do something rash. He also felt that it was safer to wait for more people to go in together. Now, Yi Chi's performance has also put him at ease.

  Everything was settled, and the crowd once again gazed longingly at the massive blue light gate before turning around abruptly and leaving with a flick of their sleeves.

  And when the crowd had walked out of a hundred meters, the green light door rippled and then transformed into countless green starlights, filling the air and dispersing.

  At this time, Yi Zaitian in the team was frowning tightly and stopped.

  As soon as he stopped, everyone's eyes were focused on him.

  "What the hell is wrong with you now?" Chen Yong cursed loudly.

  He was about to speak when he quickly turned around and looked towards the light gate, but unfortunately, the light gate had already disappeared at this time, and there was no sign of its existence in that place.

  Yi Tian's eyebrows furrowed even tighter.

  At this time, Yi Yun also sensed that his second brother was abnormal, so he walked to his side and said: "Second brother, what's wrong, is something happening?"

  He vaguely felt that something had happened, but unfortunately, he couldn't imagine what it was.

  At this time, looking at Er Ge's appearance in heaven, he seemed to know.

  Yi looked back at the sky, gazed helplessly at his older brother and said: "Alas, we really failed this time. Just now when the light gate disappeared, I received a message that it only opens once a year."

  Yi Yun furrowed his brow upon hearing this and said, "Once a year?"

  Yi nodded in agreement, "That's right. Even if we gather our forces now, we still can't get in. We have to wait until a year later."

  Their conversation didn't have any intention of hiding from the crowd, naturally everyone heard their words. Those with a more violent temper directly destroyed the surrounding plants to vent their anger.

  At this time, Lu He stood up and said: "Okay, everyone calm down, it's just a year, we can wait. At least, we know the key and location now, and I believe that Mr. Yi will not stop us from being together by then!"

  Although Lu He's words had a threatening tone, Yi Yun didn't care. After all, he had a genius son who already possessed the strength of a Dou Ling at the Dou Shi level. When the time came, even if there were many people, he wouldn't be afraid. So, he appeared very magnanimous and directly agreed to Lu He's words.

  Lu He was surprised by Yi Yun's attitude, but he couldn't figure out the reason behind it either. He just thought that Yi Yun, as the host, had made up his mind and there was no way he could disagree with him in this situation. Naturally, he didn't think about anything else.

  Lu He looked at Yi Ba Tian on the side after getting Yi Yun's agreement, if this old man disagreed, then Yi Yun's agreement would be useless.

  Lu He looked at himself, Yi Ba Tian coldly snorted and turned his head away. Lu He smiled in satisfaction. Since this old man didn't object, then the matter was settled.

  As for the other two families, Lu He is the representative of the three families. His words naturally represent the meaning of the three families, and the other two families will naturally support him.

  After the small storm passed, everyone took another step towards returning to Piaoyu City. This time, it was much faster than when they came, not only because there were more people, but also because the magic beasts on the way had been cleared out, so naturally the speed would be much faster.

  ......

  After returning to Feather Castle, everyone didn't even say a word of courtesy and went straight to their respective family positions. Now, no one is feeling particularly pleased in their hearts. This time, the Yi family was unhappy about being followed, while the other three families had their own troubles. For example, should they report this matter to their superiors? If they did, it's likely that the treasure in the ancient ruins would be gone for them. But if they didn't report it and were found out later, they would be in trouble.

  Let's not mention the troubles of their three families, and talk about the people of the Yi family instead.

  After they returned to the Yi house, Yi Chi was called by his father to Yunyu Hall, accompanied by Yi Ba Tian and Yi Zai Tian. As for the Great Elder, he had already returned to his own residence.
