AST 2299 - Must Beautiful Ladies Really Have Tragic Ends?

Qing Shui felt a lot more relieved to see that Chi Yang had gotten this strong . After all, his Stellar Transposition could only be used once every few minutes, and during the intervals, especially while in a group fight, it was considered too inefficient . If it wasn't because he had other means and extremely powerful defense, it would be useless to just have the Stellar Transposition alone .

Everyone in the Chi Clan was motivated and had great confidence . They didn't have a lot in numbers, but their confidence was overflowing .

Three days later, Qing Clan was surprised to see that a 100-man team had come to the Chi Clan . None of them were from the Chi Clan's main branch, but back then, they were the most loyal group of people in the Chi Clan . To think that they had come back when the situation was so dangerous .

The person in the lead was an old man who had been in the Chi Clan for several generations . He also wasn't a member of the Chi Clan, but the Chi Clan had never viewed them as outsiders . They were almost no different from members of the Chi Clan from the previous generation; they had already been bestowed with the 'Chi' surname .

In Qing Shui's previous life, changing one's surname might be an embarrassing thing . After all, it would be a form of disrespect to one's ancestors . However, in this world, it was a huge glory to be bestowed with the Chi Clan's surname for people like the old man who had come from a family without any status at all . This was a glorious thing and even the old man's ancestors would be happy to hear that .

Seeing Third Uncle Chi and Fifth Uncle Chi, the old man walked over agitatedly . They were from the same generation and had viewed each other as brothers .

"Second Brother Yang, I knew that you're still alive, and you'd definitely come back . As expected, you've come back . " third Uncle Chi said happily .

The old man was called Chi Yang (sheep) [1] . His original surname wasn't Chi to begin with, but after he had been given the Chi surname, they realized that his name had clashed with Chi Yang's (sun) . They then changed it to Yang (sheep) . Moreover, since they weren't of the same generation, so it wasn't considered to be a big deal .

Not only had Chi Yang (sheep) came, but his son and grandson were also amongst these 100 people . This sentiment alone made the Chi Clan felt touched . They hadn't come to enjoy but had come to fight with their lives . The Chi Clan could be said to have their lives hanging by the thread . Despite so, Chi Yang (sheep)  and the others still came together with the other members of the Chi Clan's main branch without any hesitations .

The 100-man team was quite strong, especially the few people with Chi Yang (sheep) in the lead . The remaining could still be said as the key personnel in the Chi Clan . Although they were a lot weaker compared to the earlier several tens of people, these people were still indispensable to the Chi Clan .

With this, the Chi Clan was even livelier now . It was just a pity that there weren't enough accommodations for all of them . Only Chi Yang (sheep) and some core members were allocated for accommodations . As for the other people, such as Chi Yang's (sheep) son, they set up tents in the courtyard . These weren't an issue for them, as there were even some who built simple houses that could block off wind and rain using pieces of rocks . Everyone understood that no matter if they ended up winning or losing, they would still have to leave this place .

Without realizing it, close to 20 days had passed . No one from the Chi Clan left the manor unless there was a reason to do so . There were only those who went out to buy food . The Chi Clan naturally had no lack of money . Although they had left in a panic back then, they had quite a number of valuable things which they carried along with them .

"Clan Head, the people from the She Clan have come again!" There were informants amongst the people from the Clan's head . Right now, this person was reporting to Chi Yang (sun) .

"How many people are there?" Chi Yang (sun) was brimming with confidence . His courage was ignited by the fact that he had gotten stronger again, and most importantly, Qing Shui was here with them .

"The numbers that we saw is over 800 . They come from the She Clan, Wu Clan, Divine Buddha Sect, and the Demonic Elephant Sect," the middle-aged informant said rapidly .

"Mmm, go ahead and continue to scout!" Chi Yang (sun) nodded to indicate that the man could now take his leave .

He remembered the main forces which were involved in the clash back then . They had been doubtlessly from the Divine Buddha Sect and the She Clan . However, by the looks of it, the Demonic Elephant Sect should have taken part as well . As for the Wu Clan, he had no idea why they were involved in this as well . Although the Wu Clan was quite strong, they had no reason to take part in this .

Chi Yang (sun) couldn't understand . 800 people weren't considered a large force, given that they came from four main forces in the Lower Three Region . Although they were kind of small in number, the people who had come definitely wouldn't be weak . After all, their previous force had been totally exterminated, not a single one of them went back . This time around, they would definitely not let their guard down .

Chi Yang (sun) went straight to look for Qing Shui . Right now, Qing Shui was holding onto a wine cup, drinking some wine in a relaxed atmosphere at the backyard next to the pond .

From afar, he appeared to have a slender body that wasn't very wide . However, he held a remarkable conviction . Chi Yang (sun) felt that this was the most charming man he had encountered in his life . It was no wonder that there were two ladies of unrivaled beauty by his side .

Qing Shui turned and saw Chi Yang (sun) walking toward him . Qing Shui took out another wine cup, filled it, and said, "Brother, come and have a drink . It doesn't feel bad to be drinking here . "

Chi Yang's (sun) heart had felt very heavy in the beginning . After all, this matter concerned the lives of everyone in the Chi Clan, as well as Chi Clan's future . Hence, he still felt a little anxious . It was unknown whether his father was still alive, but the chances of him still surviving was basically zero . Therefore, he was now the Chi Clan's head .

However, after seeing Qing Shui, he suddenly felt very calm . This was a person who helped the Chi Clan a great deal . Without Qing Shui, the Chi Clan wouldn't have a chance to change their fortunes .

Of course, there was also the possibility of getting wiped out from quarrels . If they were to be wiped out this time around, they would disappear completely . It was just like the saying . “Wealth and riches come with dangers . Everything would have to depend on the individual’s guts to take the risk . ”

Chi Yang (sun) had no idea if he was a person with guts, but he knew that even if there was only a 10% chance, he would also take the gamble . Otherwise, they would only live a groggy life, and there would be no happiness even if he were to live for several hundreds or even thousands of years .

Chi Yang (sun) received the cup, took a sip, and closed his eyes while he savored the taste, "This is really delicious . It always feels so unbelievable every time I drink it . "

"Has the people from the She Clan come?" Qing Shui smiled and asked .

"I knew that I wouldn't be able to hide it from you . They've come and this time around, over 800 people have come . There's the She Clan, Wu Clan, Divine Buddha Sect, and the Demonic Elephant Sect . " Chi Yang (sun) shared the information he was given earlier .

"Wu Clan?" Qing Shui was puzzled .

He didn't know about the Wu Clan until Bu Clan's Young Miss had mentioned them . It was her fiance's clan . At this moment, Qing Shui had the feeling that beautiful ladies really had tragic ends; the Bu Clan's Young Miss could be counted as one of them . If the Wu Clan really were to have participated in this, then they were really courting death .

Chi Yang (sun) had no idea that Qing Shui had encountered the Bu Clan's Young Miss . Seeing that Qing Shui was puzzled, he said, "Wu Clan is a great clan in the Eight Desolates Region, and they are stronger than the Chi Clan at its peak . However, I don't remember about feuds between both of our clan . I have no idea why they've participated in this either . "

"It's fine . Since they've come, they can forget about returning . It'll save the trouble . " Qing Shui smiled and finished up the wine in the cup .

Chi Yang (sun) could sense an assertive aura from this young man . The reason he could stand here calmly was all because of this young man . Without Qing Shui, after hearing that the other party had arrived, even if he would fight it out with them, he wouldn't be able to remain so calm . Although it was said that he would fight it out with them, it would be a desperate fight to the bitter end . The chances of them dying in battle was over 90%, and it would practically be a situation for all of them to die .

"Then what shall we do now?" Chi Yang (sun) asked .

"Don't need to care about them . They've come a long way, and we'll leave them hanging for a few days . Since we have set up formations here, we'll let them have some fun trying to break the formations . " Qing Shui gave it some thought before saying .

Chi Yang (sun) smiled and nodded . Of course, he would listen to Qing Shui . He knew that this man would definitely bring him surprises after surprises . It wouldn't be an exception this time around . Chi Yang's (sun) had a very strong feeling about this . He even felt that with Qing Shui around, it would be fine even if he didn't make a move .

[1] The 'Yang' in this name refers to sheep .
