A group of clan members hurried to rescue the injured . Words could not describe the anguish and sorrow that they experienced at their men’s deaths . Some were even crying at the top of their lungs .
Ye Chen walked over to Ye Zhantian’s side and placed his right hand on his father’s wrist . His father’s meridian channels were in a bad shape but thank goodness something kept his heart from giving way . Ye Chen looked at the item in his father’s hands . It was Ye Rou’s jade pendant . Grateful for what Ye Rou had done, he shot a look of gratitude at her as she was walking toward them .
Ye Zhantian’s Celestial Chi was fully depleted . Immediately, Ye Chen inserted a Thunder Quintessence Pill into his father’s body and then took out a piece of Earth Quintessence Pill .
“What’s this?” Ye Zhantian looked at the pill in Ye Chen’s hands . It was ash green and he had not seen it before .
“An Earth Quintessence Pill . Eat it father, quickly . ” Ye Chen was heartbroken at the sight of his gravely wounded tiger father .
Ye Zhantian glanced at Ye Chen in surprise . Where on earth did he get such a valuable medicine though now was not the time for such questions . He hurriedly took it .
“Little Chen, where’s grandpa? Why isn’t he with you?” Ye Zhantian struggled to speak .
Ye Chen gasp . He was so concerned about his father’s wellbeing that he had forgotten about grandpa!

“Grandpa and I encountered some resistance along the way . He covered me while I made the trip back here . You rest here father, I’ll go look for grandpa!” Ye Chen replied .
“Go now,” Ye Zhantian ordered . He was worried about Ye Changxuan’s safety .
Just when Ye Chen was about to leave, Ye Zhanxiong and the rest roared triumphantly . “Sixth Uncle’s back!”
Ye Changxuan swiftly entered the castle and landed at the center . He inspected the surroundings and saw Yun Yixuan’s lifeless body . Though a little surprised, he was relieved nonetheless . The battle at the Ye Castle had finally come to an end .
“Sixth Uncle, you’re hurt . ” Ye Zhanxiong noticed his uncle’s pale complexion . His clothes were slightly tattered and his shoulders injured . Ye Zhanxiong quickly helped Ye Changxuan and administered some treatment .
“Don’t worry about me, help the rest . ” Ye Changxuan brushed him off .
“Grandpa, are you okay?” Ye Chen rushed over anxiously . By right, the three low rank nine combatants should not have given his grandpa a difficult time .
“Those scumbags from the Yun Clan loaded their sleeved darts with poison . A little longer and I wouldn’t have made it . I managed to take two out and let loose of them . Then, they decided to retreat and stop pursuing me after they got some message . ” Ye Changxuan forced a smile .
The Yun Clan had this all thought out through . Three rank nine combatants ambushed Ye Chen and Ye Changxuan with Yun Yixuan and Niu Er coming over to kill them . Then, have the said three rank combatants gang up on grandpa . This was all well planned but neither of them would have predicted the duo would arrive home so soon . With Ye Chen’s impeccable timing, he managed to defeat Yun Yixuan and Niu Er and turned the tables, causing the clan to suffer the loss of two experienced fighters .

“Who did the Yun Clan send to attack the castle?” Ye Changxuan inquired as he was looking at the deceased members of the Ye Clan being carried away .
“Yun Yixuan led the attack alongside a guy named Niu Er . There were two rank nine combatants, nine rank eight combatants, and a few top rank seven combatants,” Ye Zhanlong replied .
“Yun Yixuan and Niu Er?” Ye Changxuan gasp . He knew Niu Er was a bandit from the nearby mountains . He wondered how did he get involved with the likes of the Yun Clan . Niu Er specialized in Chi Construct, even he dare not underestimate him . He expressed his surprise . “I didn’t know that Ye Zhantian’s power had grown tremendously . ”
Ye Zhanxiong, Ye Zhanlong, and the rest smiled . “You’re wrong, granduncle . It was Little Chen who had defeated Yun Yixuan and Niu Er, not brother . ”
“Little Chen single-handedly defeated the two of them?” Ye Changxan’s mind went blank . He looked over to Ye Chen in disbelief . “Really?”
Ye Chen was flattered . “It was just a matter of luck . Those two went easy on me . ”
Anything above rank nine was a battle of power . Even if rank seven or eight combatants got the upper hand, they may not necessarily be able to penetrate a rank nine’s protective Celestial Chi barrier . This was no luck! What more with both of them falling by Ye Chen’s hands .
“Thank you, dear lord!” Ye Changxuan exclaimed . “If it weren’t for Little Chen, the clan would have experienced a massacre today . Little Chen is the clan’s savior . Everyone, go help the wounded . The Yun Clan may have suffered a huge loss but they’ll not rest . We must be prepared!”
In the castle, those who were proficient with medicine had already got down to help .
Ye Chen took out the pills from his Heaven-Earth pouch and distributed them to the people .
“What are these? Why haven’t we seen it before?” Ye Zhanlong and the rest curiously asked as Ye Chen passed the pills to them .
“These are Earth Quintessence Pills . They were made by Master Apothecary Xuanyi . ”
Ye Changxuan’s words caused a massive uproar in the crowd . It was a grade six medicine . In the past, all they ever received were Chi Deposition and Chi-amassing Pills – the grade one or two kinds . This was the first they had seen a grade six medicine!
Marveling at the pills in their hands, Ye Zhanxiong and the rest shuddered . Even if the clan had accumulated ten years’ worth of wealth, they might not even be able to afford them .
“These Earth Quintessence Pills, are they for us?” Ye Zhanlong asked again .
“You know, we could always exchange these Earth Quintessence Pills for some Chi-amassing Pills for the people . ” Ye Zhanxiong could feel the heat coming from the pill .
“During the Grand Martial Tournament of the Eighteen Houses of Lianyun, Little Chen had managed to earn the admiration of Master Apothecary Xuanyi’s disciple, Master Li . These were medicines that he gave to Ye Chen and Ye Chen’s gift to all of you . Take it . You have to get your powers up, your men need you . ” Ye Changxuan waved his hand and muttered . Ye Zhanlong and the rest are such cowards . A little medicine and they were already scared out of their wits . How were they ever going to lead the future generation? Ye Changxuan was grateful for all of this . Five Earth Quintessence Pills were a massive help to the clan!
An Earth Quintessence Pill could only be produced by a high-ranking apothecary and they do not usually have that great luck at replicating it . These were all produced by Master Apothecary Xuanyi . Producing a furnace of these can potentially take up to fifty days . Once it was done, there could be two thousand of them at best or a thousand at least . It may be a lot but with Xuanyi distributing a portion of it to his disciples and the other half being bought by rich families, there was honestly not a lot to go about . Therefore, it made the Earth Quintessence Pill extremely valuable . In the past, a small tribe like the Ye Clan could never possibly be able to afford these .
With four Earth Quintessence Pills have been given out, Ye Chen had one left in his hand . He looked at Ye Rou who stayed by his side .
“Ye Rou, this is for you . ” Ye Chen shoved the pill into Ye Rou’s hands .
“It’s okay Brother Ye Chen, I don’t want it . ” Ye Rou smiled at Ye Chen with bright eyes . She was happy that Ye Chen was back in one piece .
No matter how much Ye Chen insisted, Ye Rou did not want it . Perhaps Ye Rou truly did not need it . After all, her jade pendant was a relic! As such, Ye Chen gave the remaining Earth Quintessence Pill to Ye Changxuan and he passed to Ye Zhanying . Ye Chen gave one Marrow Absolution Pill to Ye Xuan and another to Ye Meng who, despite his severe injuries, was alive and well .
“There’s still some Chi Deposition and Chi Amassing Pills . I’ll leave it to you to decide, Grandpa . Give it to the rest . ”
“Where did you get all these?” Ye Changxuan took the Heaven-Earth Pouch from Ye Chen’s hands and saw about five to six thousand Chi Deposition and Chi Amassing Pills . Master Li would have never given Little Chen such an amount of pills and considering his status, these were certainly not something worth gifting .
