Chapter 181 - Charges Against the Xue Family
On the rear hill of the Ye Castle, Grey City.
Ye Baihu had received a letter from Ye Tianlong, in which it neatly described the results of the negotiation with Long Pifu, and it ordered Ye Baihu and half of the elders of the Ye family to go to Dragon City. Because, the trial for the Xue Family was quickly approaching, after which, they planned to start annihilate the lion race demons.
“Since our leader says so, you better set off straight away. I’ll take care of the family, don’t worry!” Ye Qingniu thumbed through the letter, as he urged.
“This… brother Qingniu, your injuries… Plus, Qingyu hasn’t woken up yet. What if there occurs some accident during my absence? Can you handle that?” Ye Baihu peeked in the small pavilion where Qingniu rested, as he responded with great concern. Ever since Qingyu had inhaled the Immortal Crystal a few days ago, she had started to look much healthier than before; yet, she was still sleeping. Furthermore, Ye Baihu had failed to investigate the state of her soul and he was unsure of what would happen to her next.
“Hey, take it easy. Do you remember what our ancestor said? He asked us to protect her, but he didn’t say anything negative about her condition. I bet that she’s roughly ok now. Also, my injuries will be fully recovered in a week or two. Just go, I’ll take care of everything in the Ye Castle!”
“Alright! You stay at home, the other elders and I will go to Dragon City to support Brother Tianlong!” Ye Baihu finally nodded his head firmly.
……
The next morning, dozens of horse-driven carriages marched out of Grey City. Under Ye Baihu’s lead, the elders all headed towards Dragon City. On the other hand, Feng Zi, Hua Cao, Sainan and the other young lords and ladies were invited along on this journey. They were, however, confused why Ye Baihu didn’t take Qingyu with them, since they all thought that she had been saved already. But, they weren’t in a position to ask for the reason behind it. Also, as participants of the Prefecture War, they had been asked to stand as witnesses during the trial, to bring Wuhen to justice.
The carriages didn’t stop once, and as such it only took them twelve days to arrive at Dragon City. When they stepped into the reception hall of Dragon City, the other families had already arrived. The representatives of each family were all cultivators no lower than the Realm of the Emperor, thus they chose to fly in a linear route towards their destination. Hence, it was no wonder that they were much faster than the Ye Family’s carriages.
Because of the Mars Prefecture Blood Token, which could only appear once in a hundred years, the hatred for the Xue Family had been stirred up among Dragon City’s citizens as well as its visitors. It was an astonishing scandal that had attracted the attention of all advanced cultivators. Even those seldom-seen cultivators came out from their reclusion, as they flocked into Dragon City.
As the direct governor of Snowing City, the Xue Family’s sovereignty also included the twenty big cities and a hundred small cities in the vicinity of Snowing City. Now, the Xue Family was about to crumble, and numerous aspiring families were staring at this big pie, wishing to get themselves involved during the vacuum period in governance. Any family occupying this area would definitely become the next overlord of this piece of land.
Dragon City, therefore, saw an endless stream of visitors coming from other places. Most of them were so eager to add fuel to the fire, so that they could own a part of the “pie” that Snowing City would be after the Xue Family’s collapse.
……
However, as for Ye Tianlong, he didn’t care much about the survival of the Xue Family, which he believed would find it extremely difficult to reestablish their reputation after this scandal; rather, he was satisfied about the arrivals of the advanced cultivators. Seeing the large number of cultivators, Ye Tianlong was confident in his next plan - the adventurous intrusion into the Demonic Prefecture. While he was thinking about this issue, Ye Baihu stepped in front of him, and told him what had happened concerning Ye Qingyu. Hearing that his Spirit Immortal Dan was fake, Ye Tianlong was totally confused.
