Chapter 162 – Ye Tianlong’s Concern (2/2)
“All elders, come to the Punishment Hall, now!”
As Ye Tianlong’s sound reverberated in the castle, Ye Qiang placed his long sword on his back, and rushed to the Punishment Hall, with a stunned expression plastered onto his face. Ye Tianqing put aside his books, and Ye Tianxing dropped his cup of tea… Within a moment, dozens of elders had appeared in the Punishment Hall, looking at each other in shared bewilderment. None of them had any clue why their leader had called them in here so urgently. Could there be more drama, like what had happened one year ago, which had led to the imprisonment of Ye Jian?
- Swoosh! –
A black figure from the rear hill came into everyone’s view. He was Ye Tianlong.
“Ye Qiang, Ye Tianxing, Ye Quan… you guys come with me, the rest of you just stay at home and wait for news from us. Now, I announce Ye Baihu is in temporary charge of the Ye Castle during my absence. Ok, let’s go!”
Instantly, several figures collectively bounced up high in the air, and flew to the southwest. The citizens of Grey City all raised their head, curiously looking up at the sky. They wondered why the most advanced elders of the Ye Family came out in mass numbers.
“Are they going to slaughter the holy-grade cyan dragon?” Some of them guessed.
……
As predicted by Ye Tianlong, Qinghan had already left Immortal City. Three days before, an envoy of Immortal City had brought them the latest news concerning the teleportation posts. Sadly, they had to wait for two to three months until the posts were fully repaired. Having no patience to wait any longer, Qinghan directly went to Elder Qingniu, asking his permission to immediately leave.
Since Immortal City was located in the center among the three prefectures, if Qinghan ran at his fastest speed, he could reach the Mars Prefecture region in five days. Then, it would take more than half a month to get back to Grey City.
Of course, for Elder Qingniu, he was able to fly home within roughly seven to eight days. But it wasn’t practical to ask Elder Qingniu to take Qinghan and fly away, while leaving all other young lords and ladies behind. Plus, after hearing Qinghan’s wish to return, Qingcheng and Qingwu all showed their determined willingness to follow him. Qingcheng even wished to declare her marriage with Qinghan as soon as Qinghan’s sister was saved. On the other hand, the young lords, typically Feng Zi and Hua Cao, had all become bored in Immortal City, and wished to return to the Mars Prefecture as soon as possible. Also, Qingcheng had promised the young lords, well before the commencement of the Prefecture War, that she would send two girls from the island of the Tranquil Lake to each young lord. This was a major reason why they all urged to go back home right now.
For anyone in or above the Realm of the Emperor, they could fly. The elders of each family were no exception. Originally, Qinghan had planned to go with the elders, so that he could save ample amount of time and see his sister sooner. Yet, his proposal was instantly vetoed by Elder Qingniu, who had even complained his naivety in thinking of such an infeasible idea. As a Saint-Realm cultivator, Ye Qingniu was definitely capable of doing so, as were the other elders. The problem was, however, the young lords and ladies themselves! Once they were lifted in the air by the elders, they had to endure the intense air pressure up ahead, and unfortunately, based on their current level in cultivation, none of them could sustain for such a long period of time. For Emperor-Realm cultivators, they could protect themselves with their Battle Qi, but they weren’t able to protect the young lord or lady in their arms. If they reduced the speed to ensure the safety of these youngsters, they’d rather go back with horse-drawn carriages.
After some discussion, therefore, they eventually reached a consensus, in which they agreed to let the elders go with the young lords and ladies first. In that way, Qinghan’s sister could be saved sooner, while at the same time, the safety of the youngsters could be secured. After returning to the Mars Prefecture, they would further discuss the issue related to the Xue Family.
As for Shisan, and the other elites of the Mars Prefecture Legion, they were left behind, as they would slowly walk back home.
On the fourth day after the conclusion of the Prefecture War, several extremely luxuriously decorated carriages marched out of Immortal City, heading towards the Mars Prefecture.
Inside one of these carriages sat Ye Qingniu. Right now, he was watching looking through the window, and introduced the surrounding geography to Qinghan and Qingwu, “Little Qinghan, we’ll arrive at the Luo Shen Mountain the day after tomorrow. This is a place full of treasures. It’s said, that one can even bump into Immortal-level items if lucky enough. Errr… Luo Shen Moutain will reopen its Heaven Path five years from now. If you can obtain the Realm of the Emperor by then, I suggest you to go on that path to widen your knowledge, and by the way, collect some treasure at that time…”
