It was the same for a large clan like the Ye Clan. However, there were many of them. They set up a banquet in the martial arts field. Regardless of whether they had the surname Ye or not, they all celebrated together.
However, on this festive day, something big happened in the Ye Clan.
Suddenly, a person barged into the Ye Family. After killing a few Ye Family guards, he suddenly died.
Hearing this, Ye Zhang hurriedly brought people over. However, when he saw the dead person, his face turned pale.
He hurriedly returned to the martial arts field and called Ye Xuan over.
Ye Xuan did not know about this. However, when he saw the dead person, he was completely shocked.
This person was wearing the Shattering Cloud Sect's uniform. Moreover, it was an Elder's uniform.
"Who is it?" Ye Xuan turned the Elder over and exclaimed, "Elder Lu?"
The person who suddenly broke into the Ye Clan and started a massacre was actually Lu Buping's grandfather, Elder Lu Chi.
Instantly, Ye Xuan understood the ins and outs of the situation.
"That day, we went to the Black Water Lake together. We might have been seen by a bandit. This Lu Chi found out about this. However, I lied to him. Therefore, he thought that I had something to do with Lu Buping's death. Therefore, he came to take revenge. However, how did he die?"
Ye Xuan began to investigate the cause of death. When he opened Elder Lu's clothes, he was shocked to find that Elder Lu's entire left chest had collapsed. He was killed by a punch.
"Elder Lu was a martial artist in the middle of the Tenth Realm of the Martial Path. To be able to kill him with one punch, I'm afraid that the person is at the peak of the Tenth Realm of the Martial Path. However …"
Ye Xuan did not understand. However, when he saw the corpses of the Ye Clan guards, a possibility flashed through his mind.
The last time they went to destroy the Chen Clan, the Lianyun City Lord sent two teams of city guards to the Ye and Lin Clans. The Lin Clan had Lin Xiao, but the Ye Clan did not have any experts.
However, the Ye Clan was fine at that time. At that time, they thought that it was a passing expert who saved them.
However, it seemed that this matter was still a little strange.
"Could it be that someone is secretly protecting my Ye Family?" A thought flashed through Ye Xuan's mind. This possibility was indeed there, and it was very high.
Otherwise, why would Lu Chi die here?
"Uncle, this person is only wearing the clothes of an elder of the Shattering Cloud Sect. However, this matter is of great importance. You must remember not to spread this news," Ye Xuan hastily said to Ye Zhang.
"I understand." Ye Zhang explained clearly. Fortunately, only three guards and two servants knew about this matter.
Immediately, he ordered the servants to bury these guards who had died in the line of duty. He also ordered them to remove Lu Chi's clothes and burn them.
Although Ye Xuan did not know who that expert was, nor did he know why he wanted to protect the Ye Family, he had a faint guess in his heart that this expert might be related to his father, who had left home for many years.
A murder during the New Year was not a good sign, but there was nothing they could do about it. Fortunately, Lu Chi was killed by a mysterious expert. Otherwise, even Ye Xuan would not be able to stop him if he behaved atrociously in the Ye family.
Although this little episode was a little frightening, fortunately, it had been dealt with. Not many people knew about it. Even Guan Yulan was kept in the dark. Ye Xuan only needed to pretend that he did not know anything.
After the New Year, Ye Xuan stayed in Lianyun City for a few days. Then, he prepared to report back to the Shattering Cloud Sect with Guan Yulan.
This time, he was going to report to Zhou Cang in the Shattering Cloud Sect. Then, he would go to South Forest City to find Ouyang Ming.
At this time, Ye Xuan had already set off with Guan Yulan.
"The target has left the city. Follow!"
… …
Although Qing Yu's growth was very fast and had grown to the size of a big yellow dog in less than a month, its strength could be considered a Rank Three monster. However, its size was not enough for Guan Yulan to ride.
Therefore, Ye Xuan and Guan Yulan still had to ride back to the Shattering Cloud Sect.
However, what they did not know was that there was a team following closely behind. This team was very cautious. Even Ye Xuan did not notice them.
However, when Ye Xuan arrived at the Eighteen Mountain Ranges of Lianyun, he finally noticed this team. However, they were already charging towards him.
As soon as Ye Xuan entered the Eighteen Mountain Ranges of Lianyun, he felt that something was wrong. He turned his head and saw a team rushing towards him.
There were a total of six people in this team. However, they were very fast. They were at least Martial Arts Level Nine martial artists.
"They don't come with good intentions!"
Ye Xuan reacted instantly. He immediately jumped off his horse with a cautious look on his face. He was not 100% sure that these six people were coming for him. Therefore, he could not attack first.
Guan Yulan also noticed this and lightly landed on the ground.
Not only that, but even Qing Yu let out a low growl. It clearly felt the hostility.
The six people rushed over quickly and finally stopped about twenty meters in front of Ye Xuan. The leader was a middle-aged man. He looked at Ye Xuan and smiled coldly.
"What's the matter?"
Ye Xuan looked at the six people and asked curiously.
"You know that we're here for you. How dare you stop?" The middle-aged man looked at Ye Xuan and said.
"Why wouldn't I?" Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes.
"If that's the case, then we won't waste time. The six of us have been following you all the way from Lianyun City. Our goal is to kill you." The middle-aged man revealed his intentions.
As expected!
Hearing this, Ye Xuan's heart trembled. These six people did not come with good intentions. He was already prepared for battle. However, he still asked curiously, "Who are you?"
"You crippled my Young Master!"
When the middle-aged man finished speaking, Ye Xuan instantly reacted. So they were here to avenge Fan Yue.
"So you're from the Sky-cracking Sect." Ye Xuan snorted.
"No, we're from South Forest City, the Fan Family!" The middle-aged man shook his head.
This answer also stunned Ye Xuan for a moment. These people were actually from South Forest City.
"So you're from Fan Yue's family." Ye Xuan's face darkened. This was because the Fan Family was actually from South Forest City.
South Forest City was the county city of South Forest Region. It was the place where the Second-rank Prince of South Forest lived. Its prosperity exceeded that of ordinary big cities. The families in it were also incomparable to the Ye Family.
"Alright, kid. Since you know who I am, then you should go." After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he glanced at Ye Xuan and continued, "Act according to the plan!"
The reason why they chose to act here was because there were often killings and robberies here. After killing Ye Xuan, they just had to throw his body into the wild to feed the demonic beasts. That way, no one would be able to find any evidence and they did not have to worry about being discovered by the Sky-cracking Sect.
Ye Xuan looked at the six people who were at daggers drawn. The spiritual energy in his body began to surge. He suddenly felt that the middle-aged man in front of him was not simple. He was afraid that the middle-aged man in front of him was a martial artist in the Tenth Realm of the Martial Path. However, he did not know what realm he was in.
