At that moment, Chi Yuan’s figure descended, landing beside Ye Wushuang. The situation had now come to a complete end. However, everyone was acutely aware of the gravity of the situation: the five great families had lost five senior elders from the Qingyun Academy, as well as strongmen of the Tian Gang realm like Chu Jinglun and Qin Xian, who were at the fifth rank, and Chu Rongxuan and Qin Honghou, who were at the third rank. In total, over a hundred people were dead. The five great families would never let this go. Once the news spread, the capital would undoubtedly be plunged into a storm of blood and violence. No one could predict how Ye Wushuang would face the coming tempest.
“Let’s go back,” Ye Wushuang said to Chi Yuan. At this moment, Chi Yuan seemed to have shed all his bloodlust and became incredibly gentle. Ye Wushuang, leaning on his sword, walked up to Ye Yunzhe, gently took his hand, and smiled faintly, saying, “I’ll take you home.” “Okay!” Ye Yunzhe replied.
More than thirty members of the Ye clan, along with Xiao Yuan, Wang Xueqi, Qing Chengtian, and Wang Min, followed Ye Wushuang and climbed onto Chi Yuan’s back. With a flap of his wings, Chi Yuan soared into the sky and soon disappeared from sight.
Qing Shanya and the others also gathered together. “Father,” Qing Shihua and Qing Shiyu approached. “Go back,” Qing Shanya said directly, “Stay away from Ye Wushuang in the future.” Qing Shiyu stuck out her tongue playfully and complained, “The five great families are already so domineering. If I were Ye Wushuang, I’d kill as many as I could.”
“You don’t understand,” Qing Shanya scolded. “And don’t think you’ll be staying at home for long. Senior Mu in Qingzhou has learned about your Pure Yuan Spirit Body. There will likely be many people vying to take you as their apprentice.”
“I don’t want to!” Qing Shiyu quickly said, “It was Ye Wushuang who helped me control my Pure Yuan Spirit Body. If I have to choose a master, I’d choose him.”
“How dare you!” Qing Shiyu retorted indignantly, “Father, you’re so ungrateful. He helped you open up my talent, yet you avoid him like this!”
Hearing this, Qing Shanya was taken aback. “Shiyu, you… you wouldn’t have fallen for Ye Wushuang, would you?”
“Ah!” Qing Shiyu’s face turned red, and she immediately said, “Father, what are you talking about!”
“I hope not,” Qing Shanya said sternly. “The path he must walk is fraught with difficulties. With his unyielding nature, he’s bound to face great setbacks sooner or later. If you stay with him, suffering will be the least of your worries. You might even lose your life!”
Qing Shanya and the others bid farewell to Li Changqing and a few others before leaving. Now, Li Changqing and Feng Luochen looked at each other, both feeling a headache coming on. The once orderly trial for the Inner Court’s Tengyun List had descended into chaos. Most importantly, with so many dead, how were they supposed to explain it? Moreover, it wasn’t just a few people who had seen it; hundreds of elders, mentors, and disciples from the academy had witnessed the events. There was no way to keep it a secret.
“Take everyone back first,” Li Changqing said. “No one is allowed to speak out of turn. Bring them back to the academy and keep them confined.”
“We’ll wait for the Dean’s decision before we do anything else.”
“Yes, sir!”
The figures were taken back by the two Vice Deans.
…
At this moment, Master Feng Lan had already summoned a spiritual beast bird to carry Chu Qingcheng away. “You silly girl, you used up all the talismans I gave you in such a hurry. Do you have any idea how troublesome it was for me to refine those talismans?” Feng Lan said irritably. “I was so scared that you had run into some huge trouble!”
Chu Qingcheng apologized, “I’m sorry, Master. When I saw Ye Wushuang kill those elders, I knew there would be a big problem, so I came to find you…”
“Actually, he didn’t need me at all!” Feng Lan said with a smile. “This is really interesting!”
Pinching her beloved apprentice’s pretty face, Feng Lan continued, “The royal family of the Qingyun Empire is willing to have a falling out with the five great families for Ye Wushuang. And that Eight-Winged Red Smelting Python is completely obedient to Ye Wushuang.”
“It seems that Ye Wentian didn’t leave without any backup when he disappeared all those years ago. Now that Ye Yunzhe is still alive, if Ye Wushuang really has the means to cure him, he will be a Wan Fa realm powerhouse. With a fifth-stage spiritual beast like the Eight-Winged Red Smelting Python and a top-tier Wan Fa realm strongman, the five great families won’t be able to wipe out the small Ye clan even if they wanted to.”
Feng Lan seemed extremely delighted. Chu Qingcheng, however, was curious and asked, “Master, why are you so happy?”
