“Come with me!”
Yang Tian sighed softly and led Ye Chen out. A few people were looking at a woman on the ground quietly at the back of the Ye family villa.
The woman had a big belly, and she was no longer breathing. Her face was pale. She was not beautiful, but she was pretty.
A hint of sorrow flashed through Ye Chen’s eyes when he arrived. He then said in a deep voice, “She’s Lin Tai’s woman?”
Lin Tai betrayed the Ye family because of this woman. In the end, he failed to protect her.
“Yes!”
Yang Tian nodded slightly and said with some pain, “We just realized that this woman has died for at least a day. What a pity for the child in her womb…”
Ye Chen took a closer look. Surprise flashed across his face all of a sudden, “The child in her belly isn’t dead yet. The child in her belly isn’t dead yet!”
“Really?!”
Yang Tian was stunned at first when he heard that. Then, he moved closer and placed his ear on the abdomen of the woman’s body and listened for a while. Then, he became excited, “The sound of heart beating. The child is really still alive!”
He grabbed Ye Chen’s hands and said while crying, “Old Ye, I don’t care what you do, you must protect this child. He’s Lin Tai’s only bloodline!”
“I know, I know!”
Ye Chen was a pretty excited too. He took a deep breath in and said, “Turn around. I’ll definitely protect this child!”
Everyone turned around immediately. Even so, their hearts were in turmoil, especially Yang Tian. He had the closest relationship with Lin Tai, and he was even more concerned about Lin Tai’s child than his own son.
Time passed extremely slowly. Just when Yang Tian could not take it anymore, he suddenly heard a baby crying.
He could not help but turn around to see Ye Chen carrying a wrinkled baby with purple skin.
Yang Tian went up to him in a hurry. He could not stop sizing up the child as he said with tears brimming in his eyes, “It’s a boy. Hahaha, Ah Tai, are you seeing this in heaven? Your son is alright!
“Look at that nose, it really looks like Ah Tai!
“And his lips…”
Yang Tian calmed himself down after a while. He carried the child and said to Ye Chen, “Old Ye, can you give this child a name?
“Lin Tai was considered a formidable character before!”
After pondering for a while, Ye Chen looked at the child in his arms and said, “Let’s call this child Lin Xiao. I hope he’ll become a formidable person like his father in the future!”
“Great, Lin Xiao sounds great!”
Yang Tian burst into laughter too, “This child will stay with Haohao from now on. He’s my son. He’ll definitely be extraordinary in the future!”
After returning to the Ye family villa, Ye Chen ordered more people to make 1,000 lanterns. Subsequently, he got them to bring all lanterns outside the villa.
Under the pouring rain, Ye Chen stood outside the villa and looked at the 3,000 people guarding with a cold expression, “You guys form groups of three. Each group will hold a lantern. Spread out to Lin City overnight. Summon the souls according to the spell I taught you. Make sure you come back before the rooster crowed!”
“Yes!”
The 3,000 men responded in unison and opened their umbrellas. They spread out in groups of three, protecting a lantern as they chanted.
“Wandering souls, where can we find you? Deserted roads, temples, forests, mountain cemeteries, rivers… Listen to me, come back quickly!”
Meanwhile, Ye Chen returned to the villa and set up a large-scale Soul Summoning Formation. There were four paper figures that were half the height of a human standing in the Soul Summoning Formation.
Ye Chen sat cross-legged at the center of the formation. He flicked his finger, and all the oil lamps around the formation lit up. Subsequently, he formed seals with his hands, “Heaven and hell are just a door, while a door is made of three clouds. It’s hard to find the five forms of energy in the clouds…”
At the next moment, the sky above the entire Ye family villa suddenly changed color. Violent wind broke out, stars and moon were moved. It was as if a vast door had been opened. Countless streams of light changed within.
At the same time, spots of light shot towards the Ye family villa from afar in the violent wind and eventually entered the four paper figures.
After the rooster crowed the next day, Ye Chen’s face was extremely pale. He could not help but mutter after he spat a mouthful of blood, “How did this happen? How did this happen?!”
He wanted to summon the three souls and seven spirits of his uncle and Lin Tai through the Soul Summoning Formation, but to his disappointment, only two souls and four spirits returned. There were still one soul and three spirits missing.
Among them were the Fate Soul of the three souls, as well as the Corpse Dog, Concealed Arrow, Seizing Thief of the seven spirits…
The four people’s soul and three spirits did not return as if they had planned it. That was just too strange.
“This cannot be a coincidence!”
After Ye Chen consumed a medicinal pill and recovered some True Origin Energy, his expression kept changing, “Unless the three spirits and soul are detained and they can’t return!”
As he thought to this point, a trace of hostility suddenly erupted between his brows, “Who is it? Who is it that imprisoned their three spirits and soul?”
At that moment, Yang Tian walked in. He could not help but worry when he saw that Ye Chen looking off, “Old Ye, are you alright?”
“I’m fine!”
Ye Chen shook his head lightly. He only asked after he forced the distracting thoughts out of his mind, “How’s the preparation at the funeral home going?”
“It’s all done, and the grave has been chosen!”
Ye Chen then walked out with him. At that moment, there were quite a few people outside who were sending the four ice coffins to the car to be cremated.
Yang Tian’s eyes reddened as he asked in a trembling voice, “Old Ye, is there no way for them to be revived?”
“Their bodies are damaged, and even if their souls are intact, they cannot be revived. It’s better to let them rest in peace!”
Ye Chen walked out after saying that. The 3,000 people who summoned their souls last night were still standing outside. All of them forced themselves to look at the coffins on the hearses quietly.
When everything was ready, Yang Tian bowed to the coffins on the four hearses and said in a trembling voice, “Sending Brother Leopard off!”
Thud, thud, thud…
The 3,000 people in the rain knelt on one knee, “Sending Brother Leopard off!”
They shouted together. Even though they were suppressing their voices, their voices still gathered, completely exploding in the region like thunder.
Ye Chen stared at the 3,000 people. After a long while, he said slowly, “Everyone, although your Brother Leopard has left, we who are still alive have things to do!
“That is to let the dead live in peace down there!”
As soon as he said that, someone in the crowd stood up and said in a trembling voice, “Mr. Ye, avenge Brother Leopard. Kill the murderer!”
“Yes, kill them!”
“Kill their entire family!”
The silent crowd broke into an uproar. Everyone’s eyes were red. It was obvious how popular Lin Tai was when he was alive.
Ye Chen watched the hearses drive away quietly and enunciated word for word, “Who is this arrogant and despotic hero? The dragon roared in the Nine Heavens for you. Blood debt must be paid with blood. A storm of blood will rain as we send you off!
“Brother, take care!
“Leave the rest to me!”
