Chapter 57: Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell

  The Lianyun Eighteen Forts Martial Arts Conference has come to an end here, and tomorrow there will still be some programs. It is said that Yun Yi Yang bought some dancing girls from Donglin County and brought them back, allowing many fort owners and clan leaders to indulge in joy at the Yun family fort. However, now, many of the fort owners and clan leaders from Donglin County are no longer daring to get involved with the Yun family fort, and some people have bid farewell and left.

  Yun Yi Yang was extremely annoyed, since he took over the management of the East Lin County's Xuan Tie trade from Yun Family Fort, countless people came to visit Yun Family Fort, and those fort masters and clan leaders were all very polite to him. This was the first time Yun Yi Yang had been treated with such coldness.

  "One misstep, and everything is lost. I should have killed that little bastard Ye Chen from the start, shouldn't have let him meet Li Xuan!" Yun Yi Yang rubbed his temples, now regretting was too late, this situation was indeed a headache, the Ye family fortress must be eliminated, but he couldn't do it himself!

  "Master of the castle, Ye Cangxuan and Ye Chen are both gone." A member of the Yun family castle hurried over.

  "Didn't you tell me to keep an eye on Ye Cangxuan and Ye Chen? Two living people, how can they just disappear!" Yun Yi Yang slammed his hand on the table and shouted angrily.

  That Yunjia Bao tribe person's heart was bitter and couldn't be consoled. Even if Yunjia Bao was as secure as an iron bucket, Ye Cangxuan and Ye Chen were one 9th-stage expert and the other a peak 8th-stage expert. How could they possibly keep them contained?! He gloomily said: "Ye Cangxuan and the others entered the east wing, we didn't dare enter, only able to stake out outside the east wing, waiting left and right but not seeing anyone come out. Later, Li Dashi's personal little servant came out, saying Ye Cangxuan and the others had already left!"

  "Li Xuan, it's Li Xuan again!" Yun Yi Yang slammed his palm on the table in anger, but thinking of Li Xuan's identity, no matter how angry he was, he could only swallow his temper.

  Yun Yi Yang was somewhat disheartened, as Li Xuan's men had escorted Ye Cangxuan and Ye Chen out of the Yun family fortress. Li Xuan hadn't come alone; he had brought three mid-stage ninth-tier experts with him. It would be easy for them to send two people away, and even Yun Yi Yang couldn't stop them! Pacing back and forth in the great hall, Yun Yi Yang's eyes were icy cold. The Ye family fortress must have obtained the two Earth Mysteries Pills; these pills were no trivial matter. In this situation, only a desperate struggle would do! He still had to stay behind to deal with Li Xuan. Even the several fortress masters who had originally relied on him in Cloud Eighteen Fortress had now all banded together and defected to the Ye family fortress. He couldn't dispatch anyone anymore; he could only place his hopes in the experts of Duke East Lin's household - Niu Lao Er, Yun Yi Xuan... he didn't know what their situation was like, and his heart couldn't help but feel some anxiety.

  The bamboo forest stretches endlessly, and the terrain becomes relatively flat.

  "Master Ye Lao, this place is not far from Ye Jia Pu, the people of Yun Jia Pu will probably not chase us here, let's part ways here."

  Li Yun dispatched two Ninth-Order experts to escort Ye Cangxuan and Ye Chen here.

  "Both of you please return, and help us thank Master Li." Ye Cangxuan clasped his fists in gratitude.

  "Be careful on your way." The two Ninth-Grade cultivators bowed and departed.

  Ye Cangxuan glanced at Ye Chen beside him, feeling proud in his heart that Li Xun still valued Chen Er highly. Thinking of the various things that had happened in Yunjia Fortress, he suddenly felt elated and triumphant. For over a hundred years, Yejia Fortress had been suppressed by Yunjia Fortress, and during their decline, they were almost expelled from Lianyun Eighteen Fortresses. Who would have thought that thirty years ago, the situation was reversed, and today it was his turn, Ye Cangxuan, to show off his prowess in Yunjia Fortress?

  "Chen'er, before you left, did Master Li say anything else to you?" Ye Cangxuan asked Ye Chen.

  "He said that after things are settled on our side, he will send someone to pick me up and take me to the Imperial Capital, probably in half a year. Also, he gave me some elixirs." Ye Chen said, his Qiankun bag was filled with quite a few elixirs, these elixirs were of no great use to him, but for the family, they held significant meaning.

  "What about the two Earth Profound Pills?" Ye Cangxuan smiled slightly, one Earth Profound Pill could help him advance to the peak of the 9th stage, and the other was for Ye Chen's father Ye Zhantian. With time, Ye Zhantian would also be able to advance to the peak of the 9th stage, and the family's strength would rise to another level. Those were Earth Profound Pills, just a few days ago, he couldn't even imagine that he could enjoy such high-grade medicinal pills, all of this was brought by Chen'er.

  "He also gave some more elixirs." Ye Chen smiled and said, his Qiankun bag had more than two Xuan Dan!

  "Besides the two Earth Essence Pills, did Li Xun give any other pills?" Ye Cangxuan was stunned for a moment, with an inexplicable excitement in his heart, wondering what other pills Li Xun had given.

  "He gave a total of five Earth Essence Pills, two Brain Cleansing Pills, ten Thunder Essence Pills and twenty Condensing Qi Pills." Ye Chen chuckled to himself.

  Ye Cangxuan stared blankly at Ye Chen, his mind a complete blank. The Concentrated Spirit Pills were one thing, but he had seen over 50 of them before, so he was somewhat used to it. However, the other pills still left him dazed. The Thunder Mystique Pill was slightly inferior to the Earth Mystique Pill, but for the families of Donglin County, it was a rare and precious item that greatly aided in the cultivation of the Thunder System. Most importantly, there were also two Five Elements Earth Mystique Pills and two Marrow Cleansing Pills!

  Xǐ máo dān can make a family create two exceptionally talented young masters, five pieces of Dì Xuán Dān can cultivate two ninth-grade peak and three ninth-grade mid-term masters within two months!

  After a while, Ye Cangxuan finally calmed down his excited mood and sighed: "We small families in the remote countryside are indeed no match for the Xuan Yi Medicine Sect."

  "Uncle, let's head back to Yejia Fort first." Ye Chen was anxious and wanted to hurry back.

  "Uh-huh."

  The two of them rushed away, and as they got closer to Yejia Village, their mood became more excited, eager to share the good news with their clansmen.

  Yejiabao

  The scorching sunlight at noon, both inside and outside Yejia Fortress were on high alert.

  At this critical moment, when the fate of the family hangs in the balance, Ye Zhan Tian and others dare not slack off for a single moment, patrolling everywhere.

  "I don't know when Sixth Uncle and Chen'er will be back." Ye Zhanlong looked somewhat anxious, as Ye Cangxuan and Ye Chen were now in the tiger's den.

  "Don't worry, Liu Shu is already at mid-9th stage, as long as it's not Yun Yi Yang taking action personally, ordinary people can't do anything to him."

  "But Cloud Manor has many guards and if five or six people were to gang up on Sixth Uncle alone, that would be troublesome."

  Everyone says don't worry, but that's a lie, now they can only wait patiently.

  Just then, the alarm bell of Yejia Fortress suddenly rang out, dong dong dong, a clear and crisp sound spread throughout Yejia Fortress.

  Ye Zhan Tian and others changed their faces: "Enemy attack!"

  As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen figures rushed into Ye's mansion, and the leader was Yun Yi Xuan.

  "Inside Yejia Fortress, regardless of male or female, kill without pardon!" Yun Yi Xuan shouted, his face's expression was exceptionally ferocious. His right palm unleashed the Tian Gang Shou Wu Ji technique, and with a loud "peng" sound, he sent a member of the Ye family flying out. "First, dismantle their city defense crossbow!"

  A dozen figures scattered and rushed towards various parts of the city wall of Yejia Fortress.

  "Yun Yi Xuan, the Ye family fortress is not a place for you to be reckless!" Ye Zhan Tian saw that Yun Yi Xuan was going to go on a killing spree in the Ye family fortress, he was furious and jumped down, carrying a sharp aura as he rushed towards Yun Yi Xuan. A faint golden color appeared on his body, and just at their first meeting, he had already used the Yuan Lei body.

  Na Yung Yi Xuan was not to be outdone either, and he activated his Zheng Yang Tian Gang, raising his palm to meet the attack.

  A loud explosion shook the air, sending sand and rocks flying everywhere. The ground was left with a massive crater, a testament to the intense battle between two top-notch cultivators!
