Chapter 142: Chapter 123: Storming Wan Ya Mountain Alone
Ye Chen's calm voice carried a powerful strength, a powerful self-assurance.
"You killed my clan members, you took the treasures of my clan, this enmity, I will definitely avenge with my own hands!"
Ye Chen's words made everyone in the house from the three clans feel a twinge in their noses.
They needed that kind of responsible sense, they needed that kind of powerful feeling!
Unfortunately, the strongest among them were only at the twelfth level of True Qi Realm, helpless against three major Spirit Sea Realm Loose Cultivators. Could it be that Ye Chen really possessed the strength to confront the three Loose Cultivators now?
All eyes were on Ye Chen; they longed for him to stand up for them, but they were more worried that in seeking vengeance against the three Loose Cultivators, Ye Chen might end up getting hurt by them.
"Brother Ye Chen, can you really defeat those three Loose Cultivators?"
Among the clan members, a young boy with tear-stained red eyes looked up at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen turned to the boy and noticed a resemblance between the boy and Qian Ming, and he nodded.
The boy could no longer care about anything else; he cried out, "Brother Ye Chen, if you can really beat those three, you must avenge my brother! My brother Qian Ming died at their hands, my father and mother cry every day, if this goes on, I'm afraid the two of them won't last much longer!"
In the midst of the boy's crying, another girl also burst into tears, "Brother Ye Chen, my father was also killed by those three. My father just wanted to stop them from bullying us, and they burned him to death, my father, he... he didn't even leave bones behind!"
"Brother Ye Chen!"
"Brother Ye Chen!"
Many young people in the house began to cry out, unable to contain their feelings. They had long been holding back their anger, and hearing that Ye Chen was going to face the three Loose Cultivators, they could not hold back anymore.
Eventually, even many adults began to tremble with excited emotions.
"Ye Chen, if you can really defeat them, you must take this vengeance for us. Our three clans have been humiliated, our clan members slaughtered by them!"
"Avenge us, avenge this murderous enmity that has come to our doorstep!"
Many stood up.
Patriarch Ye and Patriarch Qian exchanged glances, also hopeful that Ye Chen could indeed avenge the clan, but they still worried, concerned he might overreach and suffer for it.
Just then, Patriarch Bai on the bed suddenly let out a muffled groan.
"Patriarch!"
"Patriarch Bai!"
This groan was like music to their ears; Patriarch Bai had been unconscious the whole time and now, after taking the medicine Ye Chen had provided, he actually made a sound, which of course thrilled all the clan members.
Everyone looked towards the bed, seeing that although Patriarch Bai had not yet awakened, his complexion had clearly improved a lot after taking the medicine.
Ye Chen truly was formidable; returning home, he could produce medicine that could revive Patriarch Bai!
This bolstered everyone's confidence in Ye Chen even more.
Previously, at the Myriad Treasures Stele, Ye Chen had exchanged for five Life Origin Pills, and he had given one of them to Patriarch Bai to take.
The Life Origin Pill was the third treasure of the Myriad Treasures Stele; this pill could regenerate limbs for mortals, extend life by a hundred years, and imbue vigor comparable to that of dragons and tigers. It could completely restore the lost life force of a Martial Artist, reaching the optimal state of life!
With Patriarch Bai having taken this pill, no matter how serious the illness, he would recover, and though he had not yet awakened, once the pill's power was fully absorbed, he would certainly be fully restored!
"Ye Chen, thank you!"
At that moment, Bai Xiaodie, seeing Patriarch Bai's improved condition, finally felt her anxiety and helplessness dissipate.
She knew the potency of the Life Origin Pill and now, with the Life Origin Pill Ye Chen gave, she no longer had to worry about her grandfather's safety!
The young girl's eyes seriously questioned Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, do you really have the strength to deal with those three Loose Cultivators?"
Ye Chen looked at Bai Xiaodie and nodded, "After you all left, I made significant gains in the ultimate trial area, and my strength has increased a lot."
"Ye Chen, you say you can beat them, and I believe you!" Seeing Ye Chen confidently nod again, Bai Xiaodie raised her voice and said, "Right now, my strength is not enough, so I must trouble you to take this vengeance for us!"
"Without avenging this, I fear our three clans will never be able to hold our heads high ever again!"
"Ye Chen, those three Loose Cultivators are the three Fort Chiefs of Black Cliff Stronghold in Wan Ya Mountain. The main chief is named Sikong Miao, the second chief is named Wei Wuya, and the third chief is named Lei Qing. Sikong Miao and Wei Wuya are both mid-Spirit Sea Realm powerhouses, and Lei Qing is an early Spirit Sea Realm powerhouse!"
"Having taken our treasures, they have returned to Wan Ya Mountain and should be in the mountain now!"
True to her decisive nature, Bai Xiaodie, choosing to believe in Ye Chen, straightforwardly spelled out everything about the three Loose Cultivators.
"Those three Loose Cultivators, the leaders of Black Cliff Stronghold, they maintain many underlings. Many of those underlings are also powerful people at the eleventh and twelfth levels of the True Qi Realm. To deal with the three Loose Cultivators, also be wary of those underlings!"
"Black Cliff Stronghold, in the deepest part of Wan Ya Mountain, they dominate most of the mountain territory and are a powerful stronghold, only slightly weaker than an eighth-grade sect..."
Once Bai Xiaodie began speaking, others also chimed in with additional information.
Clearly, the clan members harbored intense hatred for the three Loose Cultivators and had gathered detailed information on them!
Ye Chen listened and nodded along.
Once he had enough information about the three Loose Cultivators of Wan Ya Mountain, he nodded to the clan members in the house and said, "Patriarch Grandfather, uncles, brothers, and sisters, rest assured, I will seek revenge on them for this!"
Having finished speaking, Ye Chen strode toward the outside of the house.
Everyone followed Ye Chen as he exited the room.
"Ye Chen, be careful against those three Loose Cultivators!"
"If it's too much, then flee; as long as the green hills are there, there will always be another chance!"
Everyone looked at Ye Chen, with both anticipation and concern.
"Young Master! Young Master! You really came back!"
As he stepped outside, Ye Chen suddenly heard the voice of the young maid Tao'er.
He looked towards the direction of the voice and saw Tao'er, as well as his parents, all running towards him anxiously.
Not only his parents and Tao'er, but also numerous other clan members, upon hearing of Ye Chen's return, had rushed over.
"Young Master, what are you about to do?"
Panting, Tao'er caught up to Ye Chen and asked.
"Chen'er, were you alright in that secret realm?" Ye Chen's mother, Lin Rin, also pulled on his hand worriedly.
During this time, even though they knew from Bai Xiaodie that Ye Chen was not in any danger in the secret realm, the longer they waited, the more anxious and worried they became.
Now that they saw Ye Chen returning, they immediately rushed over hastily.
"Dad, Mom, Tao'er, I'm fine."
Ye Chen said to the three of them with a smile.
"I just got back and have already heard about the Loose Cultivator incident at Wan Ya Mountain. I'm going to Wan Ya Mountain now!"
Wan Ya Mountain!
Upon hearing the three words "Wan Ya Mountain" from Ye Chen, his father, mother, and Tao'er all had their expressions change, and the clan members who had followed them were even more shocked.
"Ye Chen is back; he now has the strength to deal with those three Loose Cultivators!"
"Brother Ye Chen is going to avenge us!"
When Bai Xiaodie and the other youngsters spoke of Ye Chen's intentions, everyone else was startled.
How could Ye Chen, at such a young age, confront those three infamous Loose Cultivators?
"Young Master, are you really going to avenge our clan members? Can you really defeat those three villains?!" Tao'er, after showing her concern, became inexplicably excited.
She believed her young master would not make empty boasts!
Ye Chen patted Tao'er's little head and said a few words to his parents before he no longer hesitated.
He understood the clan members' concerns; if he always had to reassure them, it would take a considerable effort.
It would be better to go directly to Wan Ya Mountain!
Boom!
An immense surge of Gang Yuan True Qi suddenly whirled out from within Ye Chen, and a pair of silver Wind-Thunder Wings, a zhang in length, immediately materialized behind him. With a spread of his wings, Ye Chen flew up into the sky.
"I'll be back soon!"
As soon as Ye Chen's words fell, his entire body shot up dozens of meters into the air and, in a few breaths, he disappeared into the sky towards Wan Ya Mountain.
"Flight!"
"Ye Chen can actually fly!"
"Heavens, maybe Ye Chen really can avenge our great enmity of life and death!"
Seeing Ye Chen fly off alone towards Wan Ya Mountain, and looking at the mystical Wind-Thunder Wings behind him, many clan members exclaimed in surprise.
"Let's go,"
"Let's also follow to Wan Ya Mountain to see what happens!"
After exchanging glances, Bai Xiaodie and several youngsters also flew toward Wan Ya Mountain, with many martial artists from the three clans following behind them.
However, their speed was incomparably slower than Ye Chen's; by the time they had flown just a few miles, Ye Chen had already flown into the skies above Wan Ya Mountain!
...
"Wan Ya Mountain, Black Cliff Stronghold!"
In the sky, Ye Chen released his divine senses, covering a thousand zhang radius while flying deeper into Wan Ya Mountain.
Aoo! Aoo!
Although Wan Ya Mountain was not as vast and continuous as Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, it was still home to many Demon Beasts. As Ye Chen flew into the middle region of Wan Ya Mountain, he even encountered several ferocious ninth- and tenth-rank flying Demon Beasts attacking him.
The moment those flying Demon Beasts approached Ye Chen, the vast True Qi within him burst forth, frightening these beasts into a frenzied flight!
There was a time when Ye Chen could only look up at these flying Demon Beasts from the ground; now, he could fly in the sky just the same and even scare these creatures into retreat!
After flying for roughly half an hour, Ye Chen finally saw from afar a stronghold built like a black dragon amidst Wan Ya Mountain.
Black Cliff Stronghold, the lair of those three major Loose Cultivators, the Black Cliff Stronghold!
Boom!
An immense True Qi rolled within Ye Chen, making the light of the Wind-Thunder Wings on his back shine brightly; his flying speed soared, and in an instant, he arrived above Black Cliff Stronghold.
"Who goes there, daring to intrude upon Black Cliff Stronghold!"
Inside Black Cliff Stronghold, dotted with numerous watchtowers and black stone towers, the guards shouted loudly upon seeing Ye Chen flying above.
"Tell your three Fort Chiefs to come out and face me!"
Ye Chen's voice boomed down below.
"It's an invader; shoot him down!"
Hearing Ye Chen's disrespect toward the Fort Chiefs, the guards in Black Cliff Stronghold's watchtowers and stone towers let out piercing screams, and a large group of bandits armed with huge black bows strung up arrows to shoot at Ye Chen from the stone tower windows in all directions.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Each of these black bows was a zhang long, each arrow launched with immense power, and countless arrows shot toward Ye Chen in the sky.
These bandits, realizing Ye Chen flew using wings and was not at the Spirit Sea Realm, took cover in the watchtowers and aimed to severely wound or even kill Ye Chen with those arrows.
Meanwhile, others rushed to report to the three Fort Chiefs within the stronghold.
"Birds of a feather! Without asking why, they immediately set out to kill me with deadly force!"
Ye Chen in the sky, watching the arrows fly toward him, smirked coldly. With a sweep of his large hand, all those arrows hung suspended in the air.
Then, the arrows reversed direction and, with even greater force, reflected back.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The arrows struck the black stone towers, shattering the structures made of black stone, and some even pinned the very people who had aimed for Ye Chen's vital parts to the tower walls.
Suddenly, chaos erupted with shouting, screaming, and wailing filling the air!
By venturing into Wan Ya Mountain alone, Ye Chen had ignited a bloody storm with his arrival!
