As soon as the message appeared, Pu Jingwan's divine awareness instantly located Ye Rong.
She explained the situation, then notified the others in the group. Yang Jian and the Great Sage rushed over.
By the time Ye Rong arrived, seven stars had appeared on the roof. The stars linked together like chains, locking down the entire room. Xiao Yumei couldn't help but understand.
No wonder she couldn't shake the seal in the slightest, no matter how hard she tried.
Not even the slightest ripple had appeared!
She hadn't expected Ye Rong to use the power of seven stars in order to trap Ye Zichen.
"I say, is that really necessary? Is that your son or a criminal? The power of seven stars …. Impressive!"
Xuan Ji arrived with Ye Rong. When she saw the seven stars locking down the entire room, she couldn't help but give her a thumbs-up.
Even if she was worried Ye Zichen would run off and cause trouble, there was no need to use the Seven Star Lock to trap him!
"Seven Stars, release!"
Ye Rong shouted in a low voice and shattered the chain. The restriction in front of the room also disappeared. Ye Rong immediately pushed open the door and entered. The others followed.
Within the room, Ye Zichen lay unconscious on the floor. The clothes on his upper body were undone.
"He's dressed rather casually."
While everyone else was nervous, Xuan Ji paced around the room, speechless.
"He's just unconscious. Let's take him to bed."
After confirming that Ye Zichen was fine and had merely fainted, Ye Rong relaxed. Yang Jian and the Great Sage carried him to bed, then walked over to Ye Rong and Xuan Ji's side.
"Who found out Ye Zichen was unconscious?" asked Ye Rong.
"It was me."
Xiao Yumei walked over. They'd @ ed Ye Zichen several times, but hadn't gotten a response. Worried, she hurried over and saw Ye Zichen lying on the ground through the window.
"Did you sense anything wrong on your way here?" asked Ye Rong.
"No." Xiao Yumei shook her head.
"Ask her? Isn't that pointless? All her attention is on your precious son. When she saw him unconscious, how could she be in the mood to pay attention to anything else? "said Xuan Ji.
Xiao Yumei blushed. Xuan Ji really was an understanding person.
In truth, even if she'd sensed something was wrong, she hadn't paid much attention. When she saw Ye Zichen unconscious, she'd panicked.
"Auntie Ye, why are you asking …." Yang Jian knit his brows.
"Someone was here," said Xuan Ji.
"Someone was here." Ye Rong nodded.
There were no signs that the facilities in the room had been touched, and there were no signs that anyone had been here.
However, the smell in the room could not be deceived. Even though the other party had done it perfectly, he could still vaguely feel the remnants of the smell in the corner of the room.
"Someone was here?"
She had personally witnessed the Seven Star Lock's defense. In order to enter the room as soon as possible, it could be said that she spared no effort in launching attacks. The commotion she caused was quite large, but she still could not break the Seven Star Lock.
Now, Ye Rong and Xuan Ji were saying that someone had been here …
How had they managed to sneak into the room without Ye Zichen's warning, then leave without a sound?
Putting aside everything else …
The Xue Family of the Sea of Innocence wasn't a place they could come and go as they pleased.
"Monkey and I will go after them." Yang Jian and the Great Sage focused their gazes and prepared to leave, but Xuan Ji stopped them. "What are you chasing for? They're long gone. Besides, if you go after them, do you even know who to chase? You still haven't determined their aura, have you?"
When they heard that, Yang Jian and the Great Sage stopped. Xuan Ji crossed her arms and looked at Ye Rong.
"They managed to enter without breaking your Seven Star Lock. It seems they're in the same line of work as you."
Whoosh. Whoosh.
Whoosh. At that moment, they heard the sound of several people flying through the air. Xue Yang and the other great emperors walked in.
"What's wrong? Just now, we sensed an especially strong fluctuation of divine power."
Xiao Yumei's earlier commotion had drawn the great emperors here. Ye Rong glanced at Xue Yang, fury flashing in her eyes.
Xue Yang froze. He looked at Xuan Ji, wanting to know what was going on.
"Do you know that there's a loophole in your Xue Family's defenses?" asked Xuan Ji.
"How could that be possible? Although the Xue Family didn't invite retainers or other clansmen, the entire mountain is protected by seals left behind by me and two other extremely powerful elders. Even a grain of sand would be detected by us," said Xue Yang confidently.
"If I say there's a loophole, then there's a loophole." Xuan Ji glanced at the unconscious Ye Zichen. "Look, the victim's already out."
Xue Yang and the other great emperors' expressions froze, especially Xue Yang and Zhao Qianling.
They were all counting on Ye Zichen's starlight to save Xue Mo's life, but now he was unconscious. Based on Xuan Ji's words, he'd been ambushed.
"The Big Dipper …."
"There's no need to explain," interrupted Ye Rong. "I didn't take Zichen directly back to the Star Altar. Instead, I followed you to the Sea of Innocence. That's because I trusted your Xue Family. Now that this has happened, I'm disappointed. "
"That …. That shouldn't be the case!" Xue Yang furrowed his brows. "It's been at least six hours since Zichen fainted, and your Xue Family hasn't sensed anything at all. Of course, I'm also at fault here, but I shouldn't be blaming you here. But at the end of the day, this is the Xue Family, your territory. The entire Sea of Innocence belongs to you!
Under the surveillance of the Xue Family. "
Ye Rong wanted to say something but stopped. She was furious.
But when she thought about how she'd left the Seven Star Lock outside, and how someone had still managed to sneak into his room without him noticing, putting Ye Zichen in grave danger, she couldn't blame Xue Yang and the others too much.
"I'll go investigate right away," said Xue Yang.
"What are you going to use to check?"
Ye Rong couldn't help but get angry again, but she quickly suppressed the fire in her heart.
"That's enough," said Xuan Ji, trying to smooth things over. "The silver lining is that they don't want to take Zichen's life. However, we still have no way of knowing their true intentions. Whether or not they'll come back after this, we have no way of knowing either."
"Them?" The great emperors quickly noticed the seriousness of Xuan Ji's words. "It wasn't just one person. There were at least three …. Why else do you think the Lord of the Big Dipper would be so angry? Xue Yang, your Xue Family's defenses really are flawed. Otherwise, there's no way so many people with ulterior motives would've shown up without you noticing, and no one would've reported them.
I suggest you …. Forget it. Why should I care so much? That's your Xue Family's business, "said Xuan Ji hesitantly.
However, Xuan Ji's hesitation, and her choice of words just now ….
