Translator: 549690339
From leaving the Great Wilderness to returning to the Great Wilderness, it took Yang Chen a total of five days. This time was neither too long nor too short, and for Yang Chen, this speed was already quite fast.
In five days, a lot of things could happen. Yang Chen felt that if he were a little faster, the Horse-thief Gang would have already started the war with the Twelve Great Tribes.
However, Yang Chen had not expected that the events of these five days would far exceed his imagination.
At this moment, as he returned to the Great Wilderness, Yang Chen passed several Small Clans, all of which were filled with corpses. As he saw this scene, unease began to fill Yang Chen’s heart.
As long as he was not foolish, it was not difficult to figure out that the war had already begun.
“What happened? Did the war start so quickly?” Yang Chen furrowed his brows: “And even if the war started, surely, if the Twelve Great Tribes didn’t collapse, then these Small Clans wouldn’t be involved, right?”
Yang Chen’s heart was filled with doubts.
He Liancheng stood next to Yang Chen, watching the scene before him, and asked, “Young Master Yang Chen, what happened?”
Yang Chen solemnly replied, “It should be the doing of the Horse-thief Gang.”
“The horse bandits you mentioned on the way? Were all these people killed by those horse bandits?” He Liancheng and several guards asked in confusion.
At a glance, it was too brutal.
Although they were guards in Liaocheng, they had never seen such a brutal scene. A Small Clan, with hundreds of people, was now completely wiped out. There were even some women and children without any fighting power, and traces of violence were still visible.
He Liancheng coldly said, “I didn’t believe it when you said that those horse bandits were utterly inhumane, Young Master Yang Chen, but now it seems that it is true. Hmph, do these horse bandits really think that nobody can control them?”
As a staunch and resolute man, He Liancheng couldn’t help but feel furious upon witnessing this scene.
Yang Chen clenched his fists and said solemnly, “Gentlemen, the events that occurred during my few days away from the Great Wilderness may have already exceeded my expectations. Please accompany me back to the Yang Family first. ”
“As you command, Young Master Yang Chen!”
Yang Chen didn’t dare to delay any longer. At the beginning, he was able to maintain a calm demeanor. However, when he saw the tragic state of these Small Clans, he couldn’t remain calm any longer.
It was too cruel.
He didn’t know what the current situation of the Yang Family was, so how could he dare to linger? He infused True Qi into his feet, combined it with the speed of his Tai Chu Divine Body, and hurried forward.
Although his speed couldn’t surpass those of Ling Wu Realm Peak He Liancheng and Ling Wu Realm Seventh Layer guards, he could keep up without dragging them down.
With their speed, the group quickly arrived at the Yang Family.
As he stood above the Yang Family, Yang Chen gasped for air.
Because, to his surprise, the entire Yang Family seemed to be empty!
There were no dead bodies, but all the members of the Yang Family had disappeared without a trace!
“What on earth happened?” Yang Chen was filled with doubts. Everything that was happening before him didn’t make sense.
“Hm?”
Just as Yang Chen was puzzled, suddenly, a hint of movement entered his soul’s range of detection.
“Someone’s coming.” He Liancheng reminded him.
“Gentlemen, do not worry, let us watch what unfolds from here!” Yang Chen made a decision after using his Divine Soul Detection.
At this moment, in a corner of the Yang Family, several Yang family members were fleeing in a pitiful state. Among them were familiar faces—Yang Yuan,
Yang Wu, Second Master Yang Yiming, and a few other Yang family brothers.
They were frantically fleeing, with pursuers hot on their heels.
These pursuers wore red clothes with the Horse-thief Gang’s emblem on them, laughing wildly. The leading horse bandit had even reached the first level of Martial Arts in the Spirit Martial Realm. If someone recognized him, they would know that he was one of the Twelve Great Fierce Ghost Protectors of the Horse Bandit Gang, Qiao Yunshan.
A bandit laughed, “Protector Qiao, the Gang Leader was right. The Yang family still has a few remnants that weren’t taken away yesterday.”
“Hmph, the Gang Leader’s deep planning and foresight surely can’t be fooled by the Yang family’s schemes. The Yang family has been able to survive in the Great Wilderness for so many years, and naturally, they have some special hiding places. It’s just a pity that we suddenly turned back and caught them red-handed!” Qiao Yunshan said smugly, “Now we’ll take these people back, and when Yang Chen returns, I bet he’ll go crazy. Hahaha! This is what it means to mess with our Horse-thief Gang!”
Actually, he could have caught up to Yang Wu and the others earlier.
However, he didn’t mind playing this cat and mouse game for a while longer.
Watching them desperately fleeing, experiencing unbearable pain, their eyes filled with despair, Qiao Yunshan felt as if this was a kind of enjoyment.
At this moment, Yang Yuan, as the strongest among them and the only man who could serve as a pillar, also realized that Qiao Yunshan and the others were toying with them like monkeys. This made Yang Yuan grit his teeth,
“Yang Wu, you guys escape first later.”
“Father, what are you going to do!” Yang Wu widened his eyes. “Uncle Yang Yuan, are you planning to…” Yang Yiming asked in surprise.
Yang Yuan said coldly, “Haven’t you noticed yet? Qiao Zhongshan, as a first-level master of the Ling Wu Realm, hasn’t caught up to us yet. They’re clearly treating us as monkeys to play with. If we continue to escape like this, sooner or later, we’ll all be caught by them. Our only chance is for me to delay them long enough for you to split up and run!”
“Father, you’re going to stall them? You’re not even a match for Qiao Yunshan, you’re just going to die if you go.” Yang Wu anxiously said.
The gap in power between the Body Refining Realm and the Ling Wu Realm was enormous. Yang Yuan would undoubtedly die if he tried to stall them!
Yang Yuan snorted, “As a man, you can’t be so indecisive, or you’ll never achieve anything great. This is our only chance. Yang Wu, you’re a man of the
Yang family, and you need to learn to stand on your own two feet.”
“But father!” As Yang Wu spoke, tears streamed down his face. He knew what his father was going to do—Yang Yuan was risking his life to buy time for them.
If Yang Yuan didn’t go with them, he would certainly die. There was no second possibility.
Yang Yuan laughed heartily and said, “Yang Wu, it’s only natural for a father to protect his son. Yang Wu, you have to remember that if you can survive, you must leave the Great Wilderness immediately. Your talent is better than mine.
Your achievements will be greater than mine one day. And our Yang family hasn’t been wiped out yet. We still have Yang Chen and you. One day, our Yang family will return to the Great Wilderness to avenge the bloodshed of today! Horse-thief Gang, you can never eliminate all of us, the blooded men of the
Yang family! ”
“Remember, my actions today are not meaningless. Yang Wu, you must live and live well.”
With a roar, Yang Yuan suddenly turned around, determination radiating from his back.
“Father!”
“Uncle Yang Yuan!”
