Chapter 47

Ye Chen expressed no remorse in ransacking the Yun Clan’s stash of treasures clean . On the contrary, he took pleasure in doing so . He even thought about how much of a blast it would be when the time came for him to ransack the Donglin County King’s treasures too .





After all, once the Yun Clan lost its support from the Donglin County King, they would not be able to pick on the Ye Clan as they pleased . Besides, the king had given his dad a difficult time too so he was dead set on seeing things through . Firstly, it would have to start with the Yun Clan!

Yun Yiyang of the Yun Clan was a mid-rank nine combatant and Yun Yixuan was a low-rank nine combatant . Meanwhile, there were another six other combatants who were at rank eight . Plus, they had many followers . With Ye Chen’s current strength, he was still considered weak .

With the martial tournament taking place tomorrow, Ye Chen remained in his room all day to hone Nine Astra Skies .

Just as Ye Chen was engrossed in his training, the entire Yun Castle descended in chaos .

“Are you sure no one had entered my room?” Yun Yiyang was furious . As daylight drew closer, the medicinal pills and Martial Cultivation manuals that he had stashed away in a dark corner were gone . It was only natural for him to panic .

It was no biggie that he lost the medicinal pills but losing the manuals was a very serious matter . The elders may have a complete copy of the manual with them but the main concern was that if the clan’s cultivation systems ever fell into the wrong hands, it would be a huge blow to the Yun Clan .

As for the item that was kept inside the box, it was a possession that had been passed down for generations . Even he dreaded to inform his people that he had lost it!

Then again, there was no way anyone could have unlocked the wooden box unless they were a rank ten combatant . Besides, the golden lock attached to the box came with a trap too . There was no way one could open it without a key . If the thief had unknowingly set off the trap, odds were there was still a chance the box could be retrieved .





A bunch of guards trembled with fear as they faced a fuming Yun Yiyang . Neither of them knew what Yun Yiyang had lost to cause him to be so furious .

“My lord, we’re certain that not a single soul had entered your room,” one of the guards answered carefully .

“Bunch of useless fools!” Yun Yiyang slapped the guard across the face . The impact was so great that it sent the guard hurling across the room . He was furious to the point that he was willing to kill!

The rest of the guards stood unmoving, petrified .

“There are a lot of contenders attending the Grand Martial Tournament of the Eighteen Houses of Lianyun . One of them must’ve done this . ” Yun Yixuan who stood by the side weighed in after seeing Yun Yiyang’s furious expression .

“What do we do now? It’s not like we can conduct a spot check on everyone,” Yun Yiyang thundered . Many honored and esteemed guests came forth to partake in the martial tournament . There was no way Yun Yiyang could frisk them one by one, which would surely upset many rank nine combatants . Besides, if word got out that the Yun Clan had lost a valuable possession, it would not reflect well on them .

“Then, we’ll just have to conduct it secretly . I bet the thief is still on castle grounds . ” This was the first time Yun Yixuan had ever seen Yun Yiyang so angry .

“Take the men and conduct a spot check . Seal the gates . I want every visitor thoroughly checked!” Yun Yiyang ordered . A thought came to his mind . “Whoever did this in broad daylight without the guards noticing must be a rank nine combatant . Keep a lookout for them but don’t approach them directly . Only act when the moment is right . ”





How could one easily waltz into his room in broad daylight to steal his belongings and escape unseen by the guards? Yun Yiyang’s guards were rank seven combatants . Not even Yun Yiyang himself could have pulled this off . What more when one considered the traps in the room was not set off? Just that alone made the perpetrator truly impressive .

Yun Yiyang could not help but wonder if the opponent was truly skilled . Why would they even seek the Yun Clan’s possessions? Unless of course, they were the clan’s sworn enemies . Could it be Ye Changxuan? Impossible . Ye Changxuan would never do that .

If they were unable to retrieve the lost possessions, it would certainly cause grave danger to the Yun Clan . Yun Yiyang was so unsettled that when he slammed his fists on the table, it shattered into pieces . No matter what happened, they have got to retrieve what was lost!


The entire Yun Castle was on full alert . Many guards were mobilized to search for the missing items . A number of rank nine combatants became the prime suspects for interrogation purposes yet Ye Changxuan and Ye Chen were sidelined firsthand . All because neither of them were seen leaving their room throughout the entire afternoon . Mo Feng who lived next door could vouch for them too . They truly did not see the duo leave their rooms .

Ye Chen, who remained in his room all day long, was not made aware of the commotion happening outside .

He sat down and channeled his Celestial Chi . The nine Chi Vortex within his chakra began swirling in an odd formation that it was guaranteed to leave one feeling captivated and mystified . With every passing week that it swirled, Ye Chen could feel his Celestial Chi increase in power .

Ye Chen was in awe of the progress of his training . He could see himself reaching the peak of rank seven, where the final obstacle lied .

So long as he got to rank eight, even if he came face to face with Yun Yixuan, he was sure he would be well prepared .





After all, danger lurked in every corner of the Yun Castle . Someone could be plotting Ye Chen’s death at any point so he needed to hone his strength!

Tomorrow was the martial tournament . The Grand Martial Tournament of the Eighteen Houses of Lianyun was held once every couple of years . This year, they even had an apothecary who was looking to recruit a disciple . There might be other surprises in store for the event . Grandpa had warned him to not be overly cocky but Ye Chen swore that he would give Yun Yifei a taste of his own medicine . There was no backing out!

He would play by ear for tomorrow . For now, Ye Chen continued to train diligently .

Come nightfall, the Yun Castle held a gathering . The lords from the other Eighteen Houses of Lianyun were invited to the function, save for Ye Changxuan and Ye Chen . Ye Changxuan too remained in his room to train, knowing well that this was Yun Yiyang’s deliberate attempt to alienate them . He intended to free the Ye Clan from its ordeal . That meant he had to get stronger instead of relying on anyone else for help!

The first day went by just like that . On the second day, the crowd was early to rise and shine . It was barely daybreak but the Yun Castle was already in a state of hustle and bustle .

After taking their meals, Ye Chen and his grandpa headed for the arena located at the center of the Yun Castle .

The performance stage at the Yun Castle was far bigger compared to the one in the Ye Castle . There were five elevated arenas in the middle with an audience of thousands surrounding the sides yet the place did not feel the slightest packed . Multiple seats were placed in front of the arenas . Many could see that Yun Yiyang and the rest of the rank nine combatants were seated together yet Ye Changxuan was placed at the far end of the row .

Seeing how the Yun Clan was constantly giving the Ye Clan a difficult time drove Ye Chen furious .

Meanwhile, Yun Yiyang who was sitting at the top among the seated crowd was anxious and nervous . The fact that he had lost the Yun Clan’s treasures kept him thinking about the thief all night long . He started to suspect that it was his own kin who had committed the crime and had all his men frisked .

Catching Ye Changxuan and Ye Chen in his sights, Yun Yiyang let out a twisted smile . Right here in the Yun Castle, the Ye Clan were all by themselves . Ye Changxuan may be a rank nine combatant but now that he was here, he could think twice about making it out alive . In time, they would attack Ye Castle too . Knowing that a major obstacle would soon be removed, Yun Yiyang felt a little better .

A moment later, a man dressed in an ashen robe strode up to the bleachers . His expression spoke of a certain regality . It was Li Xu .

Sensing Li Xu’s presence, the crowd greeted him .

“Master Li . ”

“Good day, Master Li . ”

Li Xu smiled and fell into his seat .

Ye Chen cast his gaze on Li Xu . Li Xu was such an eyesore . Rumor had it that he was forty-two years old yet he looked to be thirty instead with a pleasant smile . Ye Chen’s Astral Body showed his power level was at least mid-rank nine, higher than that of grandpa and Yun Yiyang .

It was said that a high ranking apothecary possessed an unimaginably large social network . He may be all alone but he was a powerful force who could easily wipe out the Eighteen Houses of Lianyu with the wave of a hand! It was not surprising that those rank nine combatants treated Li Xu with the utmost respect .
