At that moment, within the courtyard, Liu Yuemei and Ye Qingfeng both stepped out.
“What’s going on?” Liu Yuemei asked, her face etched with worry.
Ye Qingfeng, gripping a long spear, exuded a fierce aura. He was no longer a cripple. After a month of recovery, he had regained his strength, now standing at the ninth level of the Physical Refining realm.
Xu Qiuyuan glanced at Xiao Yuan and said, “Protect them. I’ll go take a look.”
“Alright,” Xiao Yuan nodded.
Just as Xu Qiuyuan was about to step out of the courtyard, a loud crash echoed through the air. The main gate of the Ye residence was kicked open with a bang, and more than a dozen people stormed in. The leading young man, with one hand, dragged the bloodied and battered Old Crane, who was coughing up blood and covered in wounds. He entered the courtyard and threw Old Crane onto the ground.
“Uncle Crane!” Liu Yuemei, Ye Qingfeng, and Ye Feifei all blanched at the sight.
Though Old Crane was a servant of the Ye family, over the years, they had come to regard him as part of their own family.
At that moment, Liu Jing, Wei Yuan, Wu Xuan, and Li Qingying stood at the entrance, looking into the courtyard. The many servants, trembling with fear, had nowhere to run.
Wei Yuan’s gaze fell on Ye Qingfeng, Ye Feifei, and Liu Yuemei. “Has Ye Wushuang not returned yet?” she asked coldly. “Perhaps he’s too scared to come back, thinking he can escape death after killing my brother?”
“My brother would never run away!” Ye Feifei retorted indignantly.
Wei Yuan glanced at Ye Feifei, and Xiao Yuan, who was standing behind her protectively, glared at Wei Yuan fiercely.
At that moment, Xu Qiuyuan looked at the four of them and said with a wry smile, “The spiritual formations I left behind have been broken as well. It seems you came prepared.”
“Are you Wei Yuan, the eldest daughter of the Wei family?” Xu Qiuyuan asked with a polite bow and a smile. “Look at this family—elders and children. Your brother Wei Hong was killed by Ye Wushuang, right? You should seek revenge from Ye Wushuang, shouldn’t you?”
“Why don’t you wait for Ye Wushuang to come back and kill him then?” he continued.
Hearing this, Ye Feifei immediately exclaimed, “Brother Qiuyuan, what are you saying!”
Xu Qiuyuan sighed helplessly, “Feifei, your brother is fearless, and so am I, but… I’m afraid for you all to die!”
Xu Qiuyuan knew that even Old Crane had been defeated, which meant these people were no ordinary adversaries. He couldn’t protect this entire family.
If even one of them… were to die, Ye Wushuang would probably skin him alive!
“Xu Qiuyuan!” Wu Xuan said, looking at Xu Qiuyuan with a smile. “So that’s why there were several first-class spiritual formations outside. You were the one who set them up.”
Wu Xuan clearly recognized Xu Qiuyuan and continued, “Wei Yuan’s brother Wei Hong was killed by Ye Wushuang, and they’ve come to avenge him. I don’t see anything wrong with that. Xu Qiuyuan, I know you have connections, but it’s better if you stay out of this today.”
“Otherwise… I won’t hold back!”
Xu Qiuyuan replied helplessly, “I’m not really worried about dying myself. It’s just that… I’m afraid you’ll end up dead if you keep this up.”
“Humph, you’re overestimating yourself!” Wu Xuan sneered.
Xu Qiuyuan shook his head. He wasn’t overestimating himself at all. Looking at Wu Xuan, he said again, “So it really has to come to a fight?”
Wei Yuan let out a cold snort. “None of the Ye family will be spared. I’ll kill you all and wait right here for Ye Wushuang to come back and meet his end.”
“Sigh!” Xu Qiuyuan heaved a heavy sigh. In an instant, he gathered spiritual patterns in his palm and quickly set up a spiritual formation. He shouted, “Xiao Yuan, take them to the Soul-Devouring Hall!”
“Run? No one is getting away!” Wu Xuan sneered, and in that moment, he too gathered spiritual patterns around himself, forming a spiritual formation that collided with the one Xu Qiuyuan had just created.
