Chapter 146: Chapter 127 Bless My Clan
Once invincible and arrogantly storming into the outskirts of the Ancestral Land Secret Realm, Sikong Miao and Wei Wuya, who had murdered and plundered treasures, were unexpectedly slain by Ye Chen with the activation of "Void Instantaneous Change" and the move "Crimson Fire Flying Sword"—cut down by a single stroke!
On the ground, the underlings of Black Cliff Stronghold were completely petrified.
Their First and Second Chiefs, two mid-stage Spirit Sea Realm powerhouses, were just like that… killed?
Staring at the two corpses and the two huge heads falling from the sky, all of the underlings were so frightened they couldn't utter a word.
As the two huge heads dropped through the air, Ye Chen's hand reached out from the void and grabbed them, making them hang suspended in midair.
Only the two headless bodies "thumped" down onto the ground, raising dust and debris everywhere.
Next, the fiery red flying sword "Crimson Fire" that had slain them didn't stop there. It swooped down toward the ground, its bright red sword light flashing briefly before it cleanly severed the head of the Third Chief, Lei Qing, who had fainted.
Then, with another grab through the void by Ye Chen, Lei Qing's head also shot upwards, joining the heads of Sikong Miao and Wei Wuya suspended in midair!
The three chiefs of Black Cliff Stronghold, the three great loose cultivators of Wan Ya Mountain's Spirit Sea Realm, were finally all vanquished!
After cutting down these three, Ye Chen's flying sword "Crimson Fire" flickered with its blade light, shaking off the blood that stained its edge, and returned as a bright point of sword light back to Ye Chen's Sword Palace Acupoint.
On one side stood the proud, young Ye Chen with silver Wind Thunder wings flapping in the sky, and on the other, the three massive heads of Wan Ya Mountain's three great loose cultivators!
This scene was indelibly imprinted in the hearts of all the underlings of Black Cliff Stronghold on Wan Ya Mountain—even if the stronghold later crumbled and the underlings scattered to various places due to the loss of the three cultivators, this scene would remain forever in their hearts.
They would never forget the young man who stormed into Wan Ya Mountain alone and slaughtered the three mighty Spirit Sea Realm warriors!
They would never forget the awe-inspiring sight of him standing in the void, holding the three severed heads.
Meanwhile, at Wan Ya Mountain, young members of the three tribes, like Bai Xiaodie, who had been watching the battle in the sky from afar, went wild with excitement upon witnessing this scene, upon seeing the severed heads of the three great loose cultivators.
"Ye Chen, he really killed the three loose cultivators!"
"He truly avenged the deep-seated blood feud of our three tribes!"
"With three Spirit Sea Realm powerhouses falling in this way, who else would dare to bully our people so lightly!"
All of the youths were so emotionally charged they couldn't contain themselves!
Over a month of repression, over a month of gloom, dissolved with the downfall of the three chief culprits, completely vanishing.
"Ye Chen."
Among the youths, Bai Xiaodie's eyes stayed fixed on Ye Chen. Just like those underlings wouldn't forget this scene, she would never forget the scene of a young man who ventured alone into Wan Ya Mountain, settling the vendetta for the three tribes with his own hands.
...
Half a day later, in the Martial Arts Plaza of the three tribes, countless tribespeople had gathered.
Everyone was looking at the high platform in the Martial Arts Plaza where the three loose cultivators' heads were prominently displayed.
In the crowd, many people started crying.
"Ming'er, do you see that? Those who stole your treasure and poisoned you to death, they were killed by Ye Chen! Ye Chen has avenged you!" cried the parents of Qian Ming, stepping out of their home for the first time since Qian Ming had died.
"Father, your vengeance is finally fulfilled! Finally!"
Not just Qian Ming's parents, but also the children of other warriors from the tribe who had been killed by the three loose cultivators cried out.
By the end, tears were in the eyes of all the tribespeople of the three tribes as they listened to this crying.
These were tears of great vengeance being settled, tears of the gloom being lifted!
With the loose cultivators' heads present, they need not live oppressed any longer!
...
With the execution of the three loose cultivators, the treasures they had originally plundered were also brought back by Ye Chen.
Apart from a few items that had been used by the three, the most precious treasures, like the "Creation Yuan Pill" and the "Ethereal Spirit Ring," hadn't been used yet and were retrieved by Ye Chen to return to the respective youths.
Ye Chen also presented countless treasures he had specially exchanged for the martial artists of the three tribes at the Myriad Treasures Stele, instructing Patriarch Ye and Patriarch Qian to distribute them to the warriors of the three tribes.
Spiritual Artifacts, Cultivation Techniques, Pills…
As the treasures were distributed one by one, all the warriors of the three tribes fell into a state of great surprise.
With these items, their power would grow even stronger, and the overall strength of the three major families would also significantly increase!
A few more days passed, and an even greater piece of good news arrived.
Patriarch Bai, who had been bedridden and near the brink of death, finally came to after taking the "Life Origin Pill."
After recuperating for another two days, he even returned to his originally vigorous and hale state!
Patriarch Bai, the oldest of the three tribal patriarchs, his recovery brought a sigh of relief to all of the tribespeople.
The incident involving the three great loose cultivators of Wan Ya Mountain, with Patriarch Bai's final recovery, finally came to the best conclusion.
And all this, had come from Ye Chen, who had forcefully returned from the Ancestral Land Secret Realm.
All the clansmen will never forget Ye Chen, the greatest hope of their three clans!
All the clansmen believe that as Ye Chen continues to grow stronger, their three clans will also become more powerful and will never allow incidents of intruders killing and looting in their clans to happen again!
...
After the conclusion of the incident with the three Loose Cultivators of Wan Ya Mountain, Ye Chen stayed at home, cultivating diligently while spending time with his father and mother.
He knew that soon he would be on his way to the Taixuan Sect, and the days he could spend with his parents would decrease.
Therefore, Ye Chen seized every day to accompany his parents, fulfilling his filial duties.
Ye Chen even gave each of his parents and Tao'er a Life Origin Pill, obtained from the Ancestral Land Secret Realm. The Life Origin Pill was greatly beneficial even to ordinary people who had not cultivated, and of course, Ye Chen was willing to give them to the people he loved the most.
During these days, the little girl Tao'er and the golden monkey were playing together every day.
After being brought out of the Ancestral Land Secret Realm by Ye Chen, so as not to attract too much attention, the monkey's unusually splendid golden fur had turned into an ordinary grey, but its eyes, shiny like black gemstones, still made it extremely likable at first sight.
The moment little Tao'er saw the monkey, she took it into her palm and began playing with it affectionately.
The days of joy always passed quickly.
With ten days left until the selection of true disciples at the Taixuan Sect, Ye Chen finally set out on his journey to the Taixuan Sect.
This day.
The clansmen of the three clans, upon hearing the news, gathered spontaneously at the doorstep of Ye Chen's home, crowding around it so tightly that water couldn't trickle through. Bai Xiaodie and other youths were among the crowd, and the three Patriarchs had also arrived.
"Ye Chen, this time, you've saved this old man's life!"
Patriarch Bai said to Ye Chen with a smile.

Having such a talented youth in the family was a great blessing, an event that made him even happier than waking up from his own slumber.
"Patriarch Grandfather."
Ye Chen walked respectfully to the three Patriarchs, "I don't know how the communication with the Artifact Spirit of the ancestral land is going?"
When Ye Chen had left the Ancestral Land Secret Realm, the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact had said that if anything arose, the clansmen could inform it through the four great statues of the ancestral land.
After all, since Ye Chen took the golden monkey out of the Ancestral Land Secret Realm and promised to look after the monkey, he owed a certain favor to the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact.
To prevent incidents like the three Loose Cultivators of Wan Ya Mountain from happening again, Ye Chen specifically informed the three Patriarchs of the words of the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact, who had also communicated with it.
"It's settled. The Artifact Spirit said that although its divine consciousness is locked within the Secret Realm, it still has a few trump cards left. If our three clans face any danger, just let it know, and it will help our three clans," Patriarch Ye said with a laugh.
Hearing these words, Ye Chen finally felt relieved.
With the protection of the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact, he could finally head to the Taixuan Sect with peace of mind.
Ye Chen made a firm decision in his heart. On his way to Taixuan Sect, he must continue to grow stronger because, after all, his clan could not always rely on the protection of others. He must gain enough strength to protect the entire three great clans by himself!
"Ye Chen." Bai Xiaodie also came up to Ye Chen to say goodbye.
Many youths from the three clans had already returned to their sects, but Bai Xiaodie had not yet set off. She planned to leave after Ye Chen had departed.
Following Bai Xiaodie, Ye Chen's friends such as Qian Yun and Bai Xiaodong also came up to say their farewells to Ye Chen, one by one.
When the final moment of parting arrived, Ye Chen's mother, Lin Rin, had tears rolling in her eyes, and little Tao'er didn't want to part with her young master or the little monkey she had just befriended. If Tao'er hadn't been prohibited from entering the Taixuan Sect as a servant girl, she would have even wanted to follow Ye Chen.
Even Ye Chen's father, Ye Xiaotian, seldom made earnest reminders to Ye Chen.
"Chen'er, on your way to the Taixuan Sect, you must take good care of yourself. Even though you are strong now, remember that there are countless experts in the world and you must never act rashly!"
"I know, Dad," Ye Chen nodded seriously.
Lin Rin also gave her admonitions to Ye Chen, "Chen'er, when you come back, remember to bring Jiang Yao with you."
This statement turned Ye Chen's face red, and in the end, he scratched his head and nodded with a smile.
"Young Master, when I see you again, will you have become even stronger?" Tao'er asked Ye Chen.
Ye Chen nodded, looking up at the boundless sky, "Yes, I definitely will."
Boom!
After the last of the farewell words had been said for quite some time, Ye Chen finally spread his silver wind and thunder wings and soared into the sky.
On the ground, Ye Xiaotian, Lin Rin, Tao'er, the three Patriarchs, and Bai Xiaodie, along with all the people of the three clans, watched Ye Chen and did not leave for a long time.
And Ye Chen, now in the sky, looking at the increasingly smaller figures of his parents and clansmen on the ground, still waving their arms at him, felt a sourness in his nose.
"It's good that I chose not to go to the Minor Spirit Realm; otherwise, a separation of thousands of years would be unbearable for my father and mother."
"The Taixuan Sect and Qingyang City are both in the eastern domain of the Heavenly Wind Kingdom, just a few thousand miles apart, which makes returning much more convenient!"
When the figures on the ground were no longer visible, Ye Chen buried the sorrow of this parting deep in his heart. He looked in the direction of the Taixuan Sect and murmured, "Taixuan Sect, here I come!"
He also thought of the incomparably beautiful girl waiting for him at the Taixuan Sect.
In his heart, Ye Chen whispered, "Jiang Yao, I am coming!"
