Chapter 55: Fate
The city was depressed, and Ye Cheng walked all the way, and he couldn't see half a figure on the street.
The demon raid has a great impact on ordinary people, and due to the blockade of the supernatural forces, most of the people do not believe in gods and demons at all.
But now those ghosts suddenly appeared in broad daylight, and the impact on the people can be imagined, and rumors have been spreading in the city of Bac Ninh, and the city lord's mansion has issued martial law on the grounds of arresting bandits.
On the streets, teams of 50 men patrolled the city, all holding military black crossbows, clearing the city of fish that had slipped through the net.
"Is it really just a counterattack?"
On the street, only Ye Cheng walked slowly, and such a situation naturally attracted the attention of the patrol team, but he was carrying the City Lord's Mansion token, so these were naturally not a problem.
Ye Cheng looked at the desolate streets on both sides, and a sense of crisis hit his heart, the news that Qingyu Pavilion and Mu Shi got was basically the same, the black abyss monsters were messing around, and this ghost raid was also like a normal act of revenge, and there was no problem, but he was still faintly uneasy in his heart.
Turning the corner, the Ye family's mansion appeared in front of him.
The door of the house was closed, and several tall green-skinned ghosts were nailed to the ground by the thick eyes of the baby's arm, and blue-black blood flowed to the ground.
As soon as Ye Cheng walked to the front of the mansion, there was a commotion behind the door, and the sound of iron tools colliding clanged.
"Open the door, it's me"
A red-clad Protector man climbed up the wall, poked his eyes out, and then shouted excitedly
"It's the eldest young master, the eldest young master is back"
"Quick, open the door......"
There was another commotion behind the door, and soon, with a creak, the door slowly opened.
Ye Cheng killed the ghosts around Ye Li in the mansion, although the clan had already issued a ban, but the movement of the fight that night was too big, and the news had already spread in the mansion.
Although no one dared to talk about it on the surface, secretly no one in the Ye family knew that the eldest prince was already a master of the condensation level, which was something that the elders of the Ye Tang family had acquiesced in.
Ordinary people may not understand the power of the Condensation Martial Artist, but the soldiers of the Protector Army need to deal with all kinds of strange incidents, and naturally know the horror of the master of the inner family.
"Young Master, the elder of the Ye Tang family has instructed, if you come back, please come over."
Ye Cheng agreed, and a guard led the way in front and walked directly to Xuanwu Pavilion.
Entering the Xuanwu Pavilion, Ye Cheng found that it was not only Ye Tang, but even Ye Mingyuan and Ye Lian were there, the three of them frowned, the tea in front of the table was already cold, but no one moved, obviously the matter of the ghost raid had made the three of them anxious.
"Cheng'er, come and sit."
Ye Mingyuan greeted, looking at the young man who was getting taller and taller, and his eyes couldn't help but show a look of love.
Ye Cheng's mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to Ye Hong, although Ye Mingyuan had a concubine for so many years, the position of the main house was always empty, and he doted on his two sons in every way.
Now that Ye Chengwu has learned well, he has broken through the Condensation Realm at a young age, which makes Ye Mingyuan even more satisfied, and the entire Ye family is supported by one Ye Tang, and Ye Tang is old after all, no one knows how long it will last.
In this world where gods and demons are dancing wildly, the inner family is the minimum coping force, if there is not even a master of the inner family who supports the façade, then it will not be long before the entire Ye family will be swallowed up.
"Cheng'er, your cultivation is ......"
Ye Mingyuan sighed in his heart, but Ye Tang sighed lightly, looking at the tall young man sitting in his eyes uncertainly. In his induction, Ye Cheng was like a huge torch, and the scorching heat made the internal qi in his body involuntarily operate, as if he had encountered a natural enemy.
"There has been a small breakthrough recently"
Ye Cheng chuckled lightly, didn't say much, and asked about the situation in the city later
"What the hell is going on in the city, as soon as I come back, I will encounter those monsters attacking the city"
Ye Mingyuan sighed lightly
"The City Lord's Mansion came over to deliver a message, saying that it was a ghost counterattack, and it would be fine after this period of time, but I always felt that it was not so simple in my heart" Ye Mingyuan frowned
"In the past few months, nearly a thousand people have disappeared inexplicably in the city of Bac Ninh, although the city lord's mansion tries its best to conceal it, but these can not hide the family forces in the city, and now many families in Bac Ninh City are already considering moving to other places."
When Ye Cheng heard this, his heart sank again, thinking of the words of the ghost in the valley, "The city is ready" Ye Cheng muttered the words of the ghost in the valley
"What the hell is in store?"
Ye Cheng's eyes flashed, and a guess faintly came to mind.
"In the past few months, I have joined an organization called Qingyu Pavilion......"
"Qingyu Pavilion!?You really joined the Qingyu Pavilion, the Qingyu Pavilion of the Eighteen Cities of the Ice Ocean?" Ye Tang suddenly grabbed Ye Cheng's hands and asked questions again and again, with an excited expression on his face.
"Yes, it's the Qingyu Pavilion of the Eighteen Cities of the Ice Ocean" Ye Cheng nodded a little stunned
Ye Mingyuan and Ye Lian were overjoyed, obviously knowing what kind of organization the Qingyu Pavilion was.
"The efforts of several generations of my Ye family have finally come to fruition, the ancestors have spirits, and my Ye family is hopeful."
Ye Tang was extremely excited, the Ye family, as a family that had once been a master of the Spirit Slaying Realm, naturally knew about the Qingyu Pavilion, but since the disappearance of the ancestors, the Ye family's bloodline has plummeted, and several generations of people have not even met the requirements of the Qingyu Pavilion to enter the pavilion, and they are about to lose touch with the extraordinary forces of this world, and now that Ye Cheng has been recognized by the Qingyu Pavilion, the Ye family has finally seen the hope of rising again
"I got some news in the Qingyu Pavilion privately, I am afraid that there will be a big chaos in Beining City next, it is best for the clan to prepare early, it is best to go to other big cities to take shelter for a while" Ye Cheng said with a flash in his eyes
Ye Cheng got the news in the Qingyu Pavilion that there was a big chaos near Beining City, but now he informed the clan that there was an imminent chaos in Beining City.
Ye Mingyuan frowned
"Is the news reliable, the Ye family, as the four major families of Beining City, can't move lightly, if they retreat out of the city, I'm afraid that Beining City will cause turmoil."
"It's just news circulating in private, but it shouldn't be groundless," Ye Cheng hesitated
"In that case, we can't afford to be unguarded"
Ye Tang's face was serious, obviously attaching great importance to Ye Cheng's news, Qingyu Pavilion was the center of the Eighteen Cities of the Ice Ocean, and none of the news in it could be taken lightly.
"From now on, the clan will hoard food, strengthen the guards, and the family's secret room must be ready at all times."
Ye Mingyuan nodded in understanding.
Ye Tang looked at Ye Cheng, "You should have already been to the Offering Hall in the Qingyu Pavilion."
"I went to go, among which there are countless treasures and treasures, but unfortunately there are too few worship points, and many things can not be seen."
Ye Cheng smiled bitterly, whether it was the secret method of the Tianyuan Realm, or the rare treasure medicine, or the source items on the sundries chapter, they were all resources that he urgently needed, but unfortunately he had too few source points, so he could only take a look.
"According to the records of the clan, it seems that the worship hall can be exchanged for silver taels, right?" Ye Tang rolled his eyes
"Yes, yes, but a hundred taels of silver can be exchanged for a little offering, it's really ......" Ye Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then replied, but halfway through, he suddenly came back to his senses
"Do you always want to ......?"
"That's right, there are not many others in the clan, just a lot of silver, those things used to be rich and couldn't be exchanged, but now it's different, with you in the pavilion, my Ye family will soon become the first family in Beining City" Ye Tang's face was extremely excited.
Ye Cheng realized at this time, why are so many geniuses willing to join the Qingyu Pavilion, before joining the Qingyu Pavilion, even if you are rich and rival the country, you can't exchange it for a talisman seal.
Joining the Jade Pavilion meant that the entire family would step into another level and have the qualifications to contact extraordinary powers, and when a secular family could exchange it for that divine weapon talisman, how terrifying would the development of this family be.
"Control the exercises, control the resources, and then take the Xuanyu Pavilion, the Purple Jade Pavilion and the Qingyu Pavilion as the center, create an intricate family power network, and then control the entire world ......"
The more Ye Cheng thought about it, the more frightened he became, the Qingyu Pavilion was like a beast hidden in the dark, and finally revealed the tip of the iceberg to Ye Cheng.
"How much silver is there in the clan that can be called" Ye Tang looked at Ye Mingyuan, he had long been ignorant of the world, and he was dedicated to hard cultivation, and the situation in the clan was naturally the most clear to Ye Mingyuan, who was the patriarch.
"Well, if it doesn't affect the turnover of the clan, it will probably be able to transfer out 800,000 taels of silver" Ye Mingyuan thought about it and reported a number
"Take them all out, it's an eventful time now, our Ye family must prepare early"
"Ye Cheng's 800,000 taels of silver, 500,000 taels of silver are exchanged for resources in the clan, and the other 300,000 taels of silver are in your own hands."
Ye Cheng was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak when he was interrupted
"It shouldn't be said more, you are the most outstanding genius of my Ye family in a hundred years, and it is also the only way for our Ye family to connect to the Qingyu Pavilion, the better your situation in the pavilion, the better the development of my Ye family, this is the support of the clan for you"
Ye Cheng was silent, he was indeed in urgent need of an offering point now, if it was normal, he could still earn an offering point by hunting ghosts, but now the situation was weird, even he didn't dare to wade into this troubled water, so he could only protect himself.
A few people chatted about some family defense matters again, and then dispersed, Ye Lian hurriedly went to the martial arts arena with a look, he was in charge of the affairs of the clan protection army, and now it was chaos in the city, and when the wind was raging, the burden on his body was extremely heavy.
On the corridor of the lake, Ye Cheng and Ye Mingyuan walked slowly, the autumn wind blew, and the lake surface was covered with light green ripples.
"You two brothers, what I'm most worried about is you, you have been extremely smart since you were a child, when you were clamoring to find immortals, I thought you were just messing around, and you were going to go, thinking that when you died, you would come back to take over the family, and live a life in peace, so that I can be regarded as having an explanation for your mother, that kind of thing is too dangerous, even if it is a martial artist, it is not safe."
Ye Mingyuan walked in front of himself, as if he was talking to himself
"But I didn't expect that you would have such a talent in martial arts, I heard from Uncle Ye Tang, your current strength is no longer below him, these few months you have been out of the house, I am always unsteady in my heart, those ghost things are not human to compete with, I have dreamed several times that you were carried back covered in blood, your father actually doesn't want you to practice martial arts, Dad is not like Uncle Ye Tang, and he doesn't want to revive the Ye family, as long as you two brothers are safe, I will be satisfied"
Ye Mingyuan's voice trembled a little, and he didn't look back, Ye Chengcheng slowly followed behind him, silent
"I know you've always avoided me for a while, but since you've embarked on this road, how can your father support you, this world's Dao Dad can be regarded as seeing through, what power and wealth are bullshit, after all, it's not as good as your own strength, even if you have ten thousand taels of gold in your hand, but it's not a matter of one claw in front of those ghosts, you have to practice martial arts, Dad supports you, but it's not for any revival of the Ye family, Dad hopes that you have your own strength and control your own destiny in this damn world."
Ye Mingyuan slowly stopped, turned around and stuffed a stack of silver tickets into Ye Cheng's hand. Immediately went back again.
"This is 100,000 taels of silver, which is your father's coffin, you can take it"
"Daddy......"
Ye Cheng's nose was sour, this voice is called from the heart, people are not ruthless, whether it is the continuous improvement of the medicine hall, or the distribution of the family industry, Ye Mingyuan is doing his best to pave the best road for him, and even afraid that he is too young to manage things, and he also transferred Ye Shan and two people to help him manage things, there are not no voices of criticism inside and outside the clan, but they were all suppressed by Ye Mingyuan.
But Ye Mingyuan has never said anything to him, he has always been silently clearing the obstacles for him behind his back, so that he can pursue martial arts without any worries, this heavy feeling makes him feel some warmth in a somewhat gloomy world.
Ye Mingyuan waved his hand
"Needless to say, let's go, we haven't eaten together for a long time, let's have a reunion dinner tonight."
Looking at Ye Mingyuan's already frost-white sideburns, a heavy feeling rose in Ye Cheng's heart, as if his heart was soaked in warm water, and it was only then that he truly recognized this home
"Ye family, I will protect it in the future"
Ye Cheng made a promise in his heart, he finally truly integrated into this world, no longer a bystander, a traveler, but a living person with flesh and blood, worries and bonds.
