"Yiya?"
Xiao Budian, who was sleeping soundly, was instantly woken up. He jumped up in shock and quickly turned his head, suspiciously looking left and right.
"What's going on?"
Tang Huan frowned, he was also rather suspicious.
Following that, Tang Huan heard a series of footsteps, followed by the creaking sound of the door opening. The sound came from the room next door, and the one who lived there was Chen Mu. The footsteps quickly arrived in front of the hut and stopped, following that, an urgent knock on the door echoed from outside.
"Big Brother Tang Huan, Big Brother Tang Huan …"
Chen Mu's anxious voice rang out.
Tang Huan moved his mind instructs (in a second), kept his Conqueror Spear, and immediately shot up. After a while, he opened the door, and Chen Mu's anxious face appeared in front of him.
"Chen Mu, did something happen in the village?" Tang Huan said in a deep voice.
"I'm not sure what happened yet."
Chen Mu said anxiously, "However, something big must have happened. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sounded the snakeskin drum in the center of the village nine times in a row and gathered everyone."
"Come, let's go take a look!"
Tang Huan raised his eyebrows, looked at Xiao Budian inside the hut, then closed the door, grabbed Chen Mu and flew forward. Xiao Budian, on the other hand, flapped his four pairs of wings, and looked out from the crack in the door. He did not follow them, and his eyes were filled with curiosity.
The drum rang out nine times, shaking the heavens.
In the dark night, almost every room was brightly lit. One after another, figures flew towards the center of the Chen Village, and the entire village was in an uproar.
In the center of the Chen Village, there was a large hall.
When Tang Huan brought Chen Mu over, there were already over a hundred figures gathered inside. Almost everyone had an unconcealable expression of grief and indignation on their faces.
At this moment, there was an oppressive atmosphere lingering in the palace.
Putting down Chen Mu, Tang Huan's gaze looked towards the center of the crowd. A tall and slim figure stood in the middle of the crowd, her face was extremely beautiful, but it also exuded a heroic aura. The chest and short skirt made of beast skin covered her chest and buttocks, and her exposed wheat colored skin revealed an alluring luster. What was especially eye-catching was her pair of slender legs, which seemed to contain astonishing elasticity and strength.
At this time, she was holding a purple spear in her hand, and her body was as straight as a spear. Her eyebrows were slightly knitted, and her beautiful face was as cold as water.
"Chen You!"
The moment he saw her, these two characters immediately appeared in Tang Huan's mind. Back then, at the exit of the canyon, Tang Huan had only seen Chen You's back, and did not see his appearance. However, he had a deep impression of the purple spear in her hand.
There were three figures standing beside Chen You, all of them were injured, and on the ground in front of them, there were two more people lying on the ground. Although they were not dead, they were already unconscious, and their injuries were even more severe. One of them had a wound on his left shoulder all the way to his right waist, it was so deep that bones could be seen, and his skin and flesh were flipped over. Although the bleeding had stopped, the blood that had flowed out earlier had already dyed his body red.
Seeing this scene, Tang Huan was slightly shocked.
Chen You and the rest had obviously just returned to the Chen Village. If he remembered correctly, Chen Mu had once said that there were ten experts of the Stage Nine who had gone out to hunt with Chen You and Chen Chong, the two Heavenly Domain-level Expert s. But now, it seemed that only Chen You and the other five had returned.
He wondered what kind of unforeseen event they had encountered. Were the others alive or dead?
Beside Tang Huan, when Chen Mu saw this scene, his eyes instantly became round, his face was filled with shock, and only after a long while did he regain his senses.
"Sis!"
Amidst the exclamations, Chen Mu could not help but run towards Chen You.
Chen You raised his eyes and looked over. When he saw Chen Mu, his gaze became slightly gentler, but when his gaze touched Tang Huan, a strange look flashed past his eyes. It was obvious that he had already discovered that Tang Huan was the person she had saved from the "Saber-toothed Green Carapace Beast" in the canyon that day.
Tang Huan nodded towards Chen You, his eyes filled with gratitude. However, now was not the time to thank her.
Time passed bit by bit, and people continued to pour in from outside the hall. Cries of alarm rose and fell one after another, and in just a few dozen breaths of time, there were already hundreds of figures gathered in the palace. These should be all the Chen Family s in the village.
"Brothers and sisters!"
Chen You finally opened her mouth, but her beautiful face was covered in frost, "This time, when we returned from hunting, we were ambushed by many Tie (Iron) Village experts at the 'Hidden Dragon Ravine' a hundred miles away. I brought my injured brothers first, and Chen Chong brought three brothers to cover the rear.
"Tie (Iron) Village?"
"It's that bastard from the Tie (Iron) Village again, how hateful!"
"They actually dared to be so ruthless, are they trying to start a war with our Chen Village?"
"..."
Hearing Chen You's words, an uproar broke out in the palace. Everyone was shocked and angry at the same time, and shouted out one after another.
Chen You's eyes swept across the crowd, he raised his hand and pressed down, causing the hall to immediately quiet down.
Following that, Chen You said in a deep voice: "Since we have already shed all pretense of cordiality, those fellows will definitely not let this matter rest. They will probably catch up to us soon, we must immediately retreat and return to the Main Village. Chen Tong, Chen Ming, you two rush back as fast as you can and ask the other side to send someone over to receive us."
"Yes sir!"
A young man and a young woman responded and rushed out of the hall without the slightest hesitation.
"Chen Rui, the few of you, escort your younger brother and sister!" Chen You shouted in a low voice again.
"Yes sir!"
Chen Rui nodded with a calm face, then shouted loudly, "Brothers and sisters, let's set off immediately!"
Just as Chen Rui finished speaking, everyone in the hall started to move quickly. Two injured Stage Nine experts walked at the front, two Stage Eight cultivators carried the other two injured and unconscious Stage Nine experts and followed behind, surrounded by Stage Seven and Stage Eight cultivators.
Tang Huan secretly nodded his head, this group of Chen Village s could be said to be strict, after Chen You made his decision, they actually did not hesitate in the slightest, and no one made a ruckus. In just a short moment, more than half of the people in the palace were gone.
"Sister Chen You, what about you?" Chen Rui seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly asked. He was older than Chen You, but calling her elder sister was very natural.
"I'll stay behind to cover the rear."
Chen You said slowly.
Hearing his words, the faces of the Chen Village s who had not left the hall changed, they all turned to look at Chen You, their expressions filled with worry.
"No!" Chen Rui shook his head repeatedly, and said, "Sister Chen You, it's too dangerous for you to cover the rear by yourself, let's retreat together."
"If we retreat together, none of us will be able to leave. Chen Rui, bring Chen Mu and quickly escort everyone away." Chen You shouted in an unquestionable tone.
"Sis!"
