"Wait for me here, I'll be right back." After Ye Fan finished speaking to Fujiwara No Chiko, he went to the center of the peak alone.
After standing still on the wide ground, Ye Fan placed his hands behind his back, closed his eyes, and began to slowly condense the spirit energy in his qi sea.
As his spirit energy gradually condensed, his body began to emit a dazzling white light. This white light became brighter and brighter, and in the end, Ye Fan actually turned into a man of light made entirely of blazing white light!
Fujiwara No Chiko, who was standing far away, secretly exclaimed when she saw this. The current Ye Fan's cultivation was strong, and his spirit energy was tyrannical. Compared to a month ago, it was like the difference between heaven and earth! She did not understand. With Ye Fan's current cultivation, logically speaking, he should not be so cautious. Even the man in green beside Matsumoto Takeyoshi could not defeat him. Fujiwara No Chiko did not understand what Ye Fan was still worried about.
Feng Ming Mountain was so tall that it pierced through the clouds and was protected by Big Brother Jin's barrier. It was already very safe. Why did Ye Fan still feel that it was not safe? Why did he have to set up a spiritual barrier? Who was he guarding against?
Ever since she recovered her memories. She vaguely felt that something was wrong with Ye Fan. First, he advised her to delay the revenge for her father. Then, he proposed to live in seclusion with her in the Lingyun Cave. Living in seclusion was fine, but he still wanted to close the door and even buy food and drinks for three to five years. All of this was indeed somewhat abnormal.
Just as Fujiwara Chiyoko was lost in her thoughts, there was a new change on Ye Fan's side. He began to slowly sit down with his legs crossed. However, his body did not land on the ground. This was because a gigantic five-petaled white lotus had gradually appeared beneath him. The white lotus was pure white and emitted a dazzling light! After the white lotus supported Ye Fan, Ye Fan opened his eyes with a calm expression.
Whoosh! As he opened his eyes, a gigantic ball of white light spread out from Ye Fan's body and expanded at a rapid speed!
Before Fujiwara No Chiko could react, the ball of light had already passed through her body and rushed behind her!
Shua! The ball of light expanded so quickly that it only took an instant. By the time Fujiwara No Chiko reacted, the entire Feng Ming Mountain had already been enveloped by a layer of gentle white light!
Fujiwara No Chiko could not believe her eyes! She had never seen such a tyrannical spirit energy before. It could actually seal the entire Feng Ming Mountain in an instant!
The gentle white light flickered three times before disappearing.
As the light on his body gradually dissipated, Ye Fan's figure also slowly landed on the ground. After letting out a long sigh, he stood up from the ground and tidied up his clothes. Then, he walked over to Fujiwara No Chiko, who had a look of disbelief on her face.
"What are you thinking about?" Ye Fan saw Fujiwara No Chiko's dumbfounded expression and asked.
"When did you become so powerful?" Fujiwara No Chiko asked Ye Fan.
"On the day of your wedding with Zhou Dao." Ye Fan said as he told Fujiwara No Chiko about how he was forced to cultivate the Mysterious Sky Secret Technique.
After Fujiwara No Chiko heard this, she immediately threw herself into Ye Fan's arms and did not speak for a long time.
"It's okay, everything is in the past." Ye Fan stroked Fujiwara No Chiko's long hair and said softly …
Three days later.
Great Ming Dynasty border.
Noon.
In an inconspicuous restaurant, Ye Yun, Ye Kong, and Ye Chen wore bamboo hats and sat in a private room on the second floor by the window.
"Husband, why aren't we leaving the border? Why are we waiting here? "Ye Chen whispered to Ye Yun.
"Yes, Father." Ye Kong also asked, "We are about to enter Tubo. Why are we stopping?"
Since the three of them left Miaojiang, they rushed towards Tubo without stopping. They stayed at the inn during the day and rode fast at night. Finally, on the third day, they arrived at the border between Great Ming Dynasty and Tubo. However, what made Ye Kong and Ye Chen feel strange was that although they were about to leave the border, Ye Yun suddenly brought them to this restaurant.
"Now that things have come to this, I won't hide it from you." Ye Yun put down the wine cup in his hand and said softly, "Something happened in Tubo."
Although Ye Yun tried to calmly tell Ye Kong and Ye Chen about this, the two of them were still shocked and looked at each other.
"Something happened?" Ye Kong frowned and asked, "Father, what's going on?"
"When we were still in Li Hua Palace, I felt that something was wrong." Ye Yun said slowly.
"Husband, what's wrong?" Ye Chen hurriedly asked.
"I'm also not sure." Ye Yun shook his head and said, "On the second night after we arrived at Li Hua Palace, I sent a secret signal to Tubo."
"Sent a secret signal?" Ye Chen asked.
"That's right." Ye Yun said, "Ever since the Ye Clan moved to Tubo, I would go to the nearby mountain peak every seven days and send a secret signal. This way, I can tell them whether we are safe or not. I can also know whether their condition is good or not. "
"What happened that night?" Ye Chen asked, "What's the problem?" The secret signal that Ye Yun mentioned was a kind of fireworks that was unique to the Ye Clan. It was cylindrical. Using the mechanism and gunpowder inside, it could be shot several hundred feet into the sky. It was extremely gorgeous. This kind of fireworks had different colors. Different colors represented different messages.
"After I sent the secret signal, I kept waiting for their news." Ye Yun said with a frown, "According to common sense, they should reply immediately after receiving my secret signal, but …"
"Could it be that they didn't reply to you?" Ye Kong frowned together.
"They've replied," Ye Yun said slowly, "But it's only after an hour."
"After an hour?" Ye Chen lowered his head and started to think. This matter was indeed very strange. According to the rules, they should reply immediately after receiving the signal.
"What did they reply to?" Ye Kong asked.
"Everything was fine." Ye Yun answered.
"There is indeed a problem." Ye Kong said, "What happened after that?"
"After seven days, I sent the signal again from the big tree outside Li Hua Palace." Ye Yun said.
"What was the result?" Ye Chen asked anxiously.
Ye Yun shook his head. "There was no reply."
"No reply?" Ye Chen quickly stood up and then sat down heavily. He muttered to himself, "Something really happened."
"What could have happened?" Ye Kong frowned. "The Tubo King has a special relationship with our Ye Clan. According to common sense, nothing should have happened. Could it be that the imperial court has already sent people to Tubo to arrest our clansmen? "
"Impossible." Ye Chen said, "Tubo is not like the Great Ming Dynasty. The imperial court would not dare to act so recklessly. Moreover, our Ye Clan once owed a favor to the Tubo King. This kind of thing would definitely not happen."
"Then what is going on? Could it be … Could it be … "Ye Kong suddenly thought of a possibility, but he did not say it out loud.
"Could it be what?" Ye Chen asked anxiously.
"There might be a traitor in the Ye Clan." Ye Yun said softly.
"Traitor?" Ye Chen's expression changed. "Impossible." He did not dare to believe Ye Yun's words.
"The Ye Clan is currently facing a great disaster. Naturally, it would cause people's hearts to waver." Ye Yun said calmly. "Not to mention the current situation, even during normal times, there would be countless pairs of eyes staring at my position as the head of the Ye Clan. Now that the Ye Clan has fallen to such a state, there must be many people who are dissatisfied with me. In addition to the imperial court's threats and promises, it is not impossible for someone to take the risk. "
"Father, then what should we do?" Ye Kong asked.
"This is only my guess. As for the specifics, we will only know when we get to Tubo." Ye Yun said.
"Then when should we leave?" Ye Chen asked.
"I will leave at midnight tonight. However, the two of you will have to stay here." Ye Yun said. "I will go alone."
"You will go alone?" Ye Kong immediately shook his head. "That won't do. It is too dangerous. If you want to go, we will go together. "
"That's right, head of the household." Ye Chen also immediately said. "We will go together. If anything happens, we can take care of each other."
"The three of us are too big of a target." Ye Yun said. "It will be more convenient for me to go alone. Wait for me here first. I will come back to find you after I find out what is going on. During the time that I am gone, you can ask around for information. This place is close to Tubo. There are crooks mixed in with the honest folk. If there is any news, it will be easier to find it. "
"But, father …" Ye Kong still wanted to persuade Ye Yun. He did not want his father to take the risk by himself.
"No buts." Ye Yun interrupted Ye Kong. "I have already made up my mind. Don't make me take out the head of the household to order you."
After Ye Kong heard this, he could only give up. Ye Chen also had nothing to say.
"From now on, I will send you a secret signal every three days at midnight." Ye Yun said. "Now that the Ye Clan is in trouble, in order to prevent information from leaking out, we will use the secret signal in reverse. The secret signal for danger is safety. The secret signal for safety is danger. Do you understand?"
Ye Kong and Ye Chen nodded.
