Chapter 14: The Betrayer’s Downfall

After Lei Yuntian and the others left, the entire Yi family fell into silence. They had thought today would be the day of their destruction, but they never expected such a twist.

"They… actually left."

This silence lasted until someone spoke, and that person was Yi Tianyu.

"The young master actually defeated a natural-born warrior. We are not dreaming; the Lei family really has retreated."

The people present quickly realized that at this moment, they looked at Yi Qianmo as if he were a god.

After all, in their eyes, the innate were like gods, yet Yi Qianmo, who was born later, had slain an innate being.

Besides that, the two innate members of the Lei family were also frightened away, and Lei Yuntian didn’t even want his son’s body; if this gets out, no one would believe it.

However, some people were happy while others were sad. When Yi Qianmo killed Lei He with a single strike, Yi Dahe and several other clan elders, along with the family that had betrayed them, looked as pale as ash.

Yi Dahe even wet his pants and fell to the ground, only realizing what was happening when he heard the crowd talking.

"Big brother… please spare me. I only wanted to protect the Yi family. If I had known it would come to this, I would never… never have betrayed the family."

Yi Dahe crawled to Yi Danian’s side; although they were not full brothers, they were still half-brothers.

"If I had known how it would end, I would have acted differently."

Yi Danian gave him a cold glance and raised his hand.

"Bang!"

Yi Dahe was struck on the forehead and immediately fell stiff to the ground. The other elders were so frightened that they fainted.

Yi Danian did not even glance at them and said, "Traitors will be punished. Take them outside the ancestral hall and carry out the family law."

A few elders who had fainted woke up immediately upon hearing this and quickly begged for mercy. But with a command from Yi Tianyu, the Yi family guards rushed forward and tied them up.

"Outsiders, if you want to come in, I, Yi Danian, will stand here and face you!"

Yi Danian’s throat was filled with true energy, and his voice reached outside the Yi family.

Outside the Yi family, the hidden powerful ones quickly left upon sensing the richness of Yi Danian’s voice.

It was only at this moment that Yi Qianmo sighed in relief because he knew that it wasn’t just the Lei family that had come; there was also the Huang family, one of the three great families.

However, the Huang family did not enter the Yi family, likely wanting to wait for the last chance.

Unfortunately, the Lei family was utterly defeated, and this waiting party, upon sensing Yi Danian’s true energy, had to leave.

After that, Yi Danian passed all the family matters to Yi Tianyu. He took Yi Qianmo and a few others into his room.

"Puff."

As soon as Yi Danian entered the room, he coughed up blood. Yi Qianmo, who was beside him, also looked pale, and the silver light in his eyes had vanished.

"Grandpa, what’s wrong?"

Yi Lingyu’s face was filled with worry.

Yi Tianyang and Yi Qianmo, nearby, also forgot about their own health and quickly helped the old man onto a chair.

Yi Danian wiped the blood from his mouth and smiled as he said, "I’m old and not useful anymore."

"Grandpa, you…"

Yi Qianmo held his hand but felt that Grandpa’s strength inside was chaotic and already at its limit.

Yi Danian waved his hand, looked at him with relief, and said, "I forced my way through the first stage, and now my life is ruined. Besides… I won’t live long."

"Dad, how could you…" Yi Tianyang looked anxious, yet helpless, not knowing what to say.

"Thirteen years ago, I wanted to force my way through, but I couldn’t. This time I can do it, and I can’t let what happened thirteen years ago happen again. It’s a shame…"

Yi Danian’s face was full of helplessness, "The Yi family still lacks foundation. In these thirteen years, we have been growing, but others have grown too."

"Grandpa, you will get better." Yi Lingyu held his hand, her eyes filled with tears.

"Silly child."

Yi Danian gently stroked her hair and suddenly said seriously, "What I am about to say is very important. Pay close attention…"

However, before Yi Danian could finish, Yi Qianmo interrupted him and said, "Grandpa, what are you talking about? As long as I’m here, I’ll make sure you live a long life."

Hearing this, Yi Tianyang was stunned. In the whole family, besides Yi Lingyu, no one else dared to interrupt the old man while he was speaking.

"Qianmo, you are a thoughtful child. Grandpa knows his own body, so do not push too hard."

The old man sighed.

"No, I want to push."

Yi Qianmo said seriously.

At first, the old man thought his grandson was just trying to comfort him, but he didn’t expect him to be so determined. This surprised Yi Danian quite a bit and even made him a little angry.

But when he looked into Yi Qianmo’s eyes, he didn’t know why, but he found himself believing Yi Qianmo a little because those eyes held incredible confidence.

"Qianmo, do you have a solution?" Yi Tianyang asked excitedly.

"Of course I have a solution. Grandpa’s forceful breakthrough damaged the heart channels; we just need to repair the heart channels, and it’s not a big problem."

Yi Qianmo said.

Hearing his words, Yi Tianyang was at a loss for words and said, "Qianmo, what nonsense are you talking about? A heart injury is a fatal disease for a martial artist, so how can it not be a big deal? And now, the crisis facing the Yi family has not been resolved. Even though it seems to others that our Yi family has two innate fighters, they will come looking for us sooner or later."

"Yes, Qianmo, don’t be stubborn. Grandpa knows what’s happening."

Yi Danian said, "First, listen to me. You should get ready with Lingyu and the others. In a few days, leave Green Cloud City. I will stay here to hold them back and buy you enough time. Now that you have grasped the sword technique, your future is limitless. In the days to come…"

"I don’t want to take revenge for you, nor do I want to take revenge for the family."

Yi Qianmo interrupted him.

Yi Tianyang looked at him in shock, raising his hand as if to punch him, but softened his heart and withdrew his hand, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? Let me tell you, Yi Qianmo, if it weren’t for your grandpa protecting you with all his might back then, do you think you could still be alive now?"

"So, I don’t want to take revenge for Grandpa, because I am here. Such a thing will never happen!"

Yi Qianmo looked at him seriously.

Both of them were stunned and took a while to understand his meaning. Seeing him so determined, Yi Tianyang realized he had misjudged him and said, "Now is not the time for foolishness."

"I am not being foolish. I said Grandpa’s injury can be treated, and it certainly can."

Yi Qianmo said firmly.

Yi Danian and his son exchanged a glance, both unable to believe it.

"Are you really telling the truth?" Yi Tianyang still did not believe him.

"Yes, it’s true," Yi Qianmo nodded confidently and said, "Not only can Grandpa’s injury be treated, but I even have a way to make my Yi family have a few more gifted members, but I need some things."

"What do you need?"

Yi Tianyang looked at him in shock and asked, "I will search all over Green Cloud City to find it for you."

"A Pill Furnace and some alchemy materials," Yi Qianmo said.

"A Pill Furnace? Alchemy materials?"

This time, not only was Yi Tianyang surprised, but even Yi Danian’s eyes widened.

Alchemy, isn’t this something for immortals?
