CHAPTER 93
Family Ye Crisis
"Li Xiaotian, you bastard, if you dare to harm even a hair on Ye Fei's head, I swear that I will make your Li Clan cease to exist!"
More than a dozen powerful figures quickly flew over from the distant sky towards the graveyard. Ye Fei didn't need to raise his head to know that it was the old mansion master and a group of elders from Wu Province who were rushing over.
This also made Ye Fei feel a little touched. If you respect me, I will respect you tenfold!
Seeing that the elders of Wu Province had all come out to save him, Ye Fei finally felt a sense of belonging to Wu Province.
"Manor Head, I'm here!" Ye Fei raised his head, full of energy.
After he finished speaking, a figure appeared in front of Ye Fei from the night sky. He looked at Ye Fei anxiously. Who else could it be but the old Manor Lord?
It wasn't until he saw that Ye Fei was fine that the old Manor Lord finally let out a sigh of relief. However, he still couldn't help but blame himself as he sighed, "I was too soft-hearted. Li Xiaotian's father died in battle for Wu Province, so I didn't have the heart to punish him. I almost made a huge mistake. By the way, Ye Fei, are you alright? Did Li Xiaotian do anything to you?"
"Don't worry, Governor. I'm fine. Also, Li Xiaotian can no longer pose a threat to me or Wu Province!" Ye Fei replied with a smile.
"Brat, what do you mean? That's right, where's that traitor Li Xiaotian? He brought you here. Could it be that he escaped by himself? "
Old Wu looked at Ye Fei with a strange expression. Chen Chang Feng led the other elders to check the surroundings. Other than finding traces of a fierce battle, they didn't find any trace of Li Xiao Tian. They were also puzzled. Many people couldn't help but look at Ye Fei suspiciously.
Of course, they did not think that a Martial Master disciple could kill a Martial Ancestor Realm elder. Instead, they were worried that Ye Fei might have been forced by Li Xiaotian to reveal some secrets, such as the Sword King's inheritance or sword intent. Therefore, Li Xiaotian would let Ye Fei go.
The Old Mansion Master also thought of this. He asked in shock, "Ye Fei, don't tell me you..."
Ye Fei's gaze was resolute as he said, "Of course I won't … Li Xiaotian has already been killed by me. Not even his bones remain!"
Boom!
Extreme shock!
No, it would be more accurate to say that they were shocked. After hearing this, the elders could not remain calm. A Martial Master disciple had actually managed to kill a Martial Ancestor Realm elder!
This Ye Fei was definitely not inferior to those peerless geniuses from the Holy Lands! And such a monster was actually in Tianyun Wufu!
The elders were overjoyed. Elder Chen was so happy that his mouth was crooked. Ye Fei was a sword cultivator. The more powerful Ye Fei was, the more powerful the Sword Sect was.
Chen Changfeng felt extremely proud.
The Old Mansion Master was also surprised and overjoyed. He was so excited that tears streamed down his face. He looked at Ye Fei and said, "Wu Province is very lucky. I originally thought that Wu Province would be ruined in my hands. It seems that Wu Province's luck is not over yet. That's why we were able to obtain such an outstanding disciple!"
"Ye Fei, it was our negligence that caused you to suffer. From today onwards, you are the chief disciple of Tianyun Wufu. No one can bully you anymore. Tomorrow, we will announce this matter to the entire prefecture!" Old Wu said happily.
Ever since Zhao Qianjun had killed his way into Wu Province and killed the three Mansion Masters and many high-ranking elders, Wu Province had rapidly declined.
The position of chief disciple had been vacant for a long time. When they heard that Old Wu had decided to let Ye Fei take the position, the elders would have objected in the past. They were worried that Ye Fei was too young and lacked experience.
But now, when they saw that Ye Fei had even killed Li Xiaotian, a Wu Zong elder, no one had any objections. Many of them even looked very excited.
When a chief disciple with sufficient strength appeared in Wu Province, it usually meant that Wu Province was about to be revived!
Ye Fei hadn't expected that Wu Province would think so highly of him. However, when he thought about his Family Ye's current situation, he still firmly refused. "Mansion Master, Deputy Mansion Master, Elders, thank you for thinking so highly of me. I will remember this in my heart. However, I cannot accept this kind of kindness. If possible, I hope that I can withdraw from Wu Province!"
"What? Withdraw from Wu Province?"
Ye Fei's words once again left the elders speechless. Even Elder Chen from the Sword Sect was anxious. "Ye Fei, why do you want to withdraw from Wu Province?"
"That's right. If Wu Province does anything wrong, I will immediately issue an order to rectify it!" The Mansion Master and Old Wu hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay.
After all, Ye Fei was a monstrous genius who had comprehended sword intent. It would be a great loss to Wu Province if they missed out on such a genius.
As long as they could persuade Ye Fei to stay, the elders present were willing to make any concessions.
Realizing that the elders had misunderstood his words, Ye Fei gritted his teeth and decided to tell them about his Family Ye's situation.
Ye Fei smiled bitterly. "Everyone, I'm leaving Wu Province not because I'm dissatisfied with Wu Province. When I killed Li Xiaotian just now, I heard something very terrifying from him …"
There was no need for Ye Fei to hide anything from these elders who were willing to come to his rescue. He immediately told them about the Crown Prince, Li Xiaotian, and the imminent danger his Family Ye was facing.
Hearing Ye Fei's words, the elders' expressions all changed. Princess Zhao Yu, who was standing at the back of the crowd, was also shocked.
"Royal Brother is also here. Is he still planning to attack the Family Ye?"
Elder Chen's expression was extremely serious. "This is troublesome. Wu Province's current strength is no longer enough to fight against the royal family. If it were someone else attacking the Family Ye, we would still step in. But this time, it's the Crown Prince himself …"
"Hmph, the Crown Prince has clearly calculated that our Wu Province doesn't have the strength to fight against the royal family, let alone harm him. That's why he personally went to Black Rock City to capture Ye Fei's family. This person's methods are so despicable. What will happen when he becomes the emperor in the future?"
"What's the point of saying all this? The Crown Prince has already made his move. How should Wu Province deal with this? Should we just stand by and watch, or should we take the risk? Chief, please come up with an idea."
The elders discussed animatedly. In the end, they all looked at the old Chief at the same time, hoping that he could come up with the best idea.
The old Chief looked calm. He looked at Ye Fei, then at the worried expressions of the elders. He said in a low voice, "There's no need to discuss this anymore. If our Wu Province can't even guarantee the safety of a disciple's family, then what's the point of talking about attracting more geniuses to join us and making our Wu Province prosper?"
"Ye Fei, where is your family now? I'll go over right now and stop the Crown Prince!" The old Mansion Lord looked at Ye Fei again, and a look of determination appeared on his face. Such a move was extremely risky.
Even if the elders of Wu Province managed to stop the Crown Prince from harming the Family Ye in the end, the enmity between them and the royal family would only deepen.
Ye Fei also understood this, which was why he wanted to leave Wu Province. When he heard the old Chief's words, Ye Fei was touched, but he also hurriedly refused. "Chief, I appreciate your kindness, but this is my Family Ye's matter. I can't let the entire Wu Province take this risk with me!"
"What nonsense are you spouting, kid? Are you looking down on us old men?" Elder Chen was a straightforward person, so he immediately snapped.
"Ye Fei, you are the most important disciple of Wu Province. You are also the hope of our Wu Province's revival! Your matter is worth our risk! "Old Wu said in a low voice. His and Chen Chang Feng's opinions represented the opinions of all the elders present.
Ye Fei couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth in his heart. He knew that if he refused, he would be hypocritical. The Family Ye really needed strong external help right now.
"Thank you, everyone. I, Ye Fei, and the Family Ye will never forget what you've done today!"
Ye Fei bowed deeply and solemnly to these elders who had helped him, preparing to give them a big bow to express the gratitude in his heart.
However, a gentle force suddenly stopped him. The old Chief's expression was equally solemn as he said in a low voice, "Ye Fei, you don't have to do this. We are not only taking this risk to help you, but also to save ourselves!"
"Save ourselves?"
Ye Fei was stunned when he heard this.
"That's right, we are saving ourselves. Every Wu Province is supported by one or more Holy Lands! The existence of Wu Province is to help these Holy Lands unearth talents that they have overlooked. We train them on their behalf and send them to the Holy Lands in exchange for their protection in Wu Province! "
Zhao Yu walked over from the back of the crowd and explained to Ye Fei, "However, this protection will only last for 100 years. Once the 100 years are up, if Wu Province is unable to continue sending in talents that the Holy Lands are satisfied with, Wu Province will lose the protection of the Holy Lands. What will happen to Wu Province once it loses the support of the Holy Lands?"
Many of the elders from Wu Province looked gloomy when they heard this. The old Chief also sighed and shook his head. "Ever since the Evil Sword King slaughtered countless experts from Wu Province, no one from Wu Province has been able to enter the Holy Lands for 200 years! This is a very dangerous sign! If we can't find enough amazing talents to join the Holy Lands in 10 years, all that awaits us is destruction! "
"Ye Fei, you are Wu Province's last hope. Therefore, no matter what, we will not let anything happen to you! Now do you understand why we are willing to take this risk? "
